  • Why is my safari quit grayed out/ can't quit safari

    Why is the ablility to quit safari on my mac air grayed out?  can't quit safari - not sure what happened

    Because there's a dialog box open which needs to be dismissed before it can be quit normally. If desired, choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Safari down from there.

  • Help, I can not quit safari or shut down my computer since updating to Lion.

    Can some one help?
    Since updating to Lion, I can not quit Safari or shut down my computer.

    Several ways to force quit when you can't quit an app normally.
    Go to your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then from the drop down menu select Force Quit.
    You can also force quit an app using the Activity Monitor app located in /Applications/Utilities.
    You should be able to shut down your Mac by holiding down the power button until the screen goes black. Then restart as usual.

  • I can't quit Safari and my screen has occasional jitters.  What's wrong?

    My MacBook Pro has developed several symptoms which I am going to guess stem from Mother Board problems. 
    1  My screen over the last couple of days has spontaneously jittered (not flashed) then the computer crashed.  I could move the cursor but nothing else.  I had to force a restart.
    2  I tried to shut down but now I can't quit Safari. 
    3  I have 10 dark plumes coming out of the bottom of my screen evenly spaced.
    Mother board failure or something else?  What would be the best course of action?  I am going to force quit again and see if I can get rid of the plumes.

    Thank you Andrew.  That solved my dark plumes problem.  I finally got hold of my son who is very good at computer problems and he suggested that I shut down, remove my battery and disconnect the power supply.  Leave it like that for 20 mins or more.  Apparently the condensers sometimes get overcharged and cause strange little problems and that can fix them. 
    I have tried that and so far it is working like it did when it was new.  I will work with it for a few days and report back.
    It does seem like the dark plumes was a separate issue which you solved.
    Thank again

  • I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open

    What is the problem between Safari 5.1.7 and hotmail? I can't quit safari while the hotmail window is open. I can close Safari from all other websites.

    Hi ...
    You may have better luck accessing your Hotmail account using Mac Mail instead of web based (browser) using Safari.
    Launch the Mail app.
    From the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click +
    Type in the name, email address, and password then click Continue.
    No more not being able to quit Safari using your Hotmail account.
    If you'd rather not access your Hotmail account via Mac Mail, when you can't quit Safari, try force quitting.
    Several ways to do this.
    Comand + Option + E on your keyboard.
    Or click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.
    Or by using Activity Monitor located /Applications/Utilities

  • I can't quit safari after visiting a web site which wouldn't let me quit without pressing ok. Now I cant turn off computer either

    I have visited a web site which wouldn't let me quit without responding ok to a question even tho I tried to avoid it. Now I can't quit safari or turn my computer off. Please help. Feel like I've been bugged!

    Force Quit it.  Right click on the Safari icon on the Dock and while holding down Option, click on Force Quit.
    Either that or Click the Apple icon and click on shutdown while holding down Option key.
    Or launch Activity Monitor from your Utilities and find Safari and end the process.

  • I can't quit safari or shut down my macbook

    Go to

  • Firefox freezes if I try to initiate a remote console session with the Netware 6.5 server I am connected to. I can force quit, re-initiate Firefox, re-authenticate and I'm able to successfully start a remote console session and acquire the server console.

    Hi Mac Attack,
    My computer will not disconnect from the internet.  It seems to find a clone router and continues even when I shut down and unplug my my own home iy
    Your main question was 'chopped' in the title. Please reply in the body of a reply box with the full question and anything you have tried. And no, the long report was not helpful .
    If the same website is opening each time you launch a browser (Safari?) hold down the shift key as you launch to prevent previous pages from opening.
    Have a look at your settings in Safari > Preferences. Especially General and Privacy.
    Reset Safari to remove cookies and other stored data.
    System Preferences > General
    Have a look at your settings in System Preferences >  Security & Privacy.
    Call back with more questions.
    Regards,

  • How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?

    How can I get Safari to remember my ID and password for a site?
    Specifically, I would like it to remember my 14 digit library account on:  http://polaris.plano.gov/Polaris/logon.aspx
    Firefox on my old PC was able to do this no problem.  I have recently switched over to Apple.  Thanks for your help!
    FYI, I am on a new Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4.

    Some websites request the web browser to NOT autofill the username, password.  It is possible the library site is doing that. Your previous firefox on the PC may have been sufficiently old to not be able to handle such a request.  There are password managers you can get to over-ride such things (search Safari extensions).

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

  • I had to change my password on my email password, but went to my setting under mail accounts and it is grey and I am unable to update it there.  Can someone tell what I can do? This on an iPad2.

    I did go to settings, restrictions....and there was a list of things...but no "off" or "on" to change. 
    If the word "Off" is sort of cloudy and the settings are greyed out - that means you do not have restrictions enabled - but just in case - do you use a passcode to lock the iPad?
    Exactly what message are you getting and where are you getting the message - what does the "email icon" mean?
