    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    Another option you have, other than an adapter you connect to your iPad and tv, is to Airplay the movies and TV shows to your with an Apple TV wirelessly.

  • How do I get my lap top to shut down when I close the lid?

    I have tried to switch on the function that shuts down my lap top when I close the lid but am either dumb or lazy and gave up too quickly.... any help would be greatly apprecated.

    Thanks Poikkeus
    My mac goes to sleep when I close the lid pretty quickly but when I open up the lid it opens up again where I left off.
    Some nice person burgled me some time ago and stole my mac so I want to force my mac to close right down so when someone else opens up they are forced to open up in guest.  I can then track my mac without risking them accessing my personal details etc.

  • Shut down lap top while iphone is plugged

    i had plugged my iphone to my lap top for a normal sync and after i was done, i accidentally closed itunes and shut down the lap top without clicking "eject" for the iphone from the itunes and then i unplugged the iphone after the lap top was shut down. i know it is very stupid, but can this harm the phone in any way?

    thanks a million for the prompt reply

  • I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community. My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
    My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    In order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
    After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone.

  • My mac os x version 10.7.4 i am being unable to shut down my mac unless i press the power key. pls help me ....

    No, but you do at least have to buy Snow Leopard. Whether you can run it depends on what iMac you have:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

    Hello jdreed3,
    The error message you are receiving is usually because of a failing hard drive. Can you go into the BIOS and run hard drive tests?
    Here is a similar thread in regards to the same issue where the user discovered it was indeed the hard drive that has fried that has been giving him the issues.

  • Unwanted icons and unable to shut down

    I have a new IMAC and am unable to shut it down. It goes to sleep no problem, but when I try to shut it down I get the message that it will automatically shut down in 2 minutes if not cancelled. 2 minutes goes by and nothing happens. I also have 2 "untitled CD" icons on my desktop and no cd in the drive. When I try to eject them, nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas on either of these annoyances?
    thanks

    For the shut down issue, try resetting the SMC.

  • Unable to shut down imac. dialogue - The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running?

    I have an iMac (Mid 2007) Intel with Mac OS Lion 10.7.4  For some reason I am unable to shut down my computer.  The dialogue box says The Finder can’t quit because some operations are still in progress. How do I determine what operations are still running?  I have no clue?  Obviously not a sophisticated user.

    Thank You!  Solved my problem.  Have a great week.

  • Since installing the latest Firefox, I am unable to shut down my computer.

    On March 19 I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. Yes, it works much more quickly, thank you, but now I am unable to shut down. The start button leads to the three choices of stand-by, shut down, or restart. But the shut-down does not take place. In desperation I tried Ctrl/Alt/Delete, without success. Please advise.

    Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

  • Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

    After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

    I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
    Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
    Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
    Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
    Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

  • Unable to write to library iPhoto library Check that you have permission to write to the library directory

    I think my iPhoto memory is full. I cannot get in to delete photos.  When I open it I get the Unable to write to library iPhoto libraryCheck that you have permission to write to the library directory" and i can't do anything else. I tried alt/cmd first aid and it didn't work.
    I want to get in and move pics over to a USB stick drive but cannot get past the Unable to write to library..message.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Unable to Export photos from iPhoto to iPhone

    Hello! I'm a new first time iMac owner and have had some major difficulties with the syncing of my iPhone. Not the usual, "I'm a newbie user" stuff, but the kind of thing even the Apple support team had trouble diagnosing.
    First, I was unable to sync music that had been exported via external hard drive from my PC to a Mac. The unusual part was that when I tried to sync it simply added the 15 g of music on top of the already existing 15 g on the phone. No go. Even add a few individual albums simply added them. Artwork wasn't coming over etc., as well. the finally simply restored my phone erasing everything. Well, that fixed the music problem but I now left with another, similar issue.
    My photos which were imported to iPhoto in the first sync are not syncing to the phone. It appears that the photos are coming over according to the capacity decrease shown on the phone but no pictures show up on the phone. If I sync again it simply adds the amount to the phone again, and again, every time I sync just like the music was doing. If I take a picture with the phone it syncs fine, but if I sync 'all' photos it simply adds it to what it thinks is already on the phone.
    Does this make sense? Any ideas?
    I'd appreciate any assistance available out there, this is the last hurdle before I'm done messing around with installation and can get down to enjoying the new iMac.
    Thanks,
    Patrick

    Yes... Give us some more details
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? ANd give us the exact error message, please.
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
