    Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
    If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

  • Saving a Word document to my Mac Book Air?

    I'm doing a degree course and have a Mac Book Air.  When I import a word document on to my Mac and go to save, It will not save it as word doc.  So do I save it as pages and then when I need export it convert it back to word?  If I do this will it affect the document in any way, when it's open within word?

    Where are you importing from? What version of MS Word are you running and what OSX are you running?

  • I was working on a word document  and the computer shut down suddenly.

    I was working on a word document  and the computer shut down suddenly. I got a grey screen with a message that your computer shut down because of a proble. It was written in various languages. It asked me to press any key to restart. I tried to restart it but the wheel just kept going on and on. So I shut it down and I tried to restart it. But I still keepgetting the wheel under the apple symbol and nothing else.

  • Working with imported Word documents

    I've noticed that Pages (for iOS) gets very slow and laggy -- especially the on--screen keyboard -- when working with imported Word documents. Is there a method to convert imported files to native Pages documents, and thereby maybe speed up the app?

    Turns out, it's not just Word-imports that are slow. Pages in general is just slow, and seems to have become this way after the iOS 5 upgrade.

    Second, in order to work on a Windows file, you need software that will be able to do it - I'm sure there are more - this is one: Pages (iWork) or install a Windows version.

    Is there a free app I can download that is a (Word) Document on my Mac?

    As far as I know, any free word processing apps would be no where near as good as opposed to just purchasing iWork (Apple's version of Word) or Microsoft Office for Mac. It's definitely worth the price to buy one of these if your planning on using it a lot.

  • Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini?

    Why can't I get Back To My Mac to work in both directions between my 2011 Mac Book Air and my 2012 Mac Mini? The network uses a Time Capsule. Everything works when connecting from the Mini to the Air, but the reverse is not the case, none of the Mini's drives are visible, and the screen sharing option is not available. I've tried the measures already suggested in online articles, everything seems to be configured correctly using my iCloud account. I'm at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I've now managed to get the service running in both directions, but not in the way I had anticipated. I had to create a second account on the Mac Book Air, this also has administrator privilages, everything works fine when connecting from this acccount. However, this is not the way I would expect to work, none of my documents, applications and settings would be available, unless I laboriously duplicated them to the new account.
    Also, I've yet to get the service running from outside my home network.
