I am stuck in the big screen and cannot get out.

I hover the mouse at the top but the menu will not appear. The only way to solve this is turn off the computer. Surely there is a better way. What am I doing wrong?

Solve what? What iMac do you have have? What operating system?
What EXACTLY is the problem you are having?

My White Macbook is stuck at the loading screen, and disk utility, safe mode doesn't work either. What should I do?

I went on vacation a few days ago and in El Salvador, they have this mobile broadband sticks. Well, I was using one until it gave me a network error. After that, it shut down my computer entirely. The first time it happened, I didn't think much of it. I took the battery out and put it back in for it could work. It happened another two times, and after the third time, my MacBook stays stuck at the loading screen, and it will take 5-10 minutes on that screen, before it shuts down, or it wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried booting into safe mode, but it appears to not boot into it. I've tried resetting the Pram, and using disk utility, but that still won't work. I don't know what else to do to make it boot into OS X Lion.
I'm an AP student, and the majority of my work is in that computer, and it is very important! What can I do? Not only that, but I enter school in a few weeks and I need the AP work by the time I enter.
What can I do? Can someone help?
Thanks

My Ipod is stuck on the apple screen, and i've tried EVERYTHING

Let me vent a bit before my question:
I have had my Ipod Nano sent in 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR.
But they keep sending the original product back, still in non-functioning condition.
So, I sent it one more time.
I got it back today.
I plug it into my computer, and after about 45 minutes, my computer FINALLY recognizes it.
So I figure we're back in business.
Then, I start to update, and its says that it can't because it can't be read or something. (after it said it updated like 10 songs or something)
So then I reset the Ipod.
Now its stuck on the apple screen and I can't get it off.
I am so frusterated, you can't even imaginnnneeeeee how ****** off I am.
This freaking Ipod has been in shipping more then actual play time.
So then I made another request just now for repair, and it says that it already has a repair out, but my ipod just got back today..
So.
Could you please help me out here? I'm a little erked.
Thanks, Caitlin.

have you tried connecting it to a/c power and not USB? Resetting in both cases? Letting the power drain? Ipod firmware updater?
I would call them again and get a supervisor or something.

How to find what carrier my iPhone 4 is with (if stuck at the welcome screen), and can I activate a it with a borrowed SIM card.

OK. My friend had bought an iPhone 4 online, second hand. He does not have the SIM card. He had recently changed his passcode and FORGOT IT, and we had to restore it. The problem is that, after we restored, it askes for the SIM activation. And none of us have a MICRO SIM Card. So my question is how can I find out what carrier the iPhone is with if it is stuck on the welcome screen and if I can borrow someone elses SIM card to activate the phone so he can use it.
(we could not contact the person he bought the iPhone from to find out what carrier it is with.)

Go to the apple store and they will figure out what sim card it is.

Hey Christian,
I'd follow the troubleshooting steps below, from this article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
See if that resolves the issue and gets your video playing again.
All the best,
David

LauraAnn41,
Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

For some reason I have a full page opening screen and cannot get it to go back to normal without restoring it to an earlier time. Is there a fix for this?

My computer would not start this morning, when it did start after repairs, I had a full screen and cannot get it to go back to normal. The toolbars don't show up, nor does the Firefox. I cannot get it straightened up without restoring it to an earlier time.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

I am stuck in the big screen and cannot get out.
