I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.

I can't run activity monitor application. It just processes with the multicolored disc spinning, but does not open.  It also won't close without using "Force Quit." When I access it in Force Quit it's listed as not responding. I am getting the messase that my start-up disc is full, but I can't assess the status without using the activity monitor app. Thanks for any assistance you can give. -F.J.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your hard drive is full, you have to delete files. Open Finder, search in all your user's folders and delete files that you don't need, or move them to an external drive.
When the hard drive is full, OS X works slow and applications may freeze, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is the reason why Activity Monitor isn't working

  • HT1848 I synced my on my iPad 2 to my pc yesterday and now I can not open any of my apps on my iPad2, those purchased and those that are free.  All it does if I click on the app is flicker but does not open.  can anyone help?

    I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent.  I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2.  when I try it just flickers and does not open.  Can anyone help?

    On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

    I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

  • The OE New Message box does not open when I click on an email address in Firefox. This is not a problem when I use MS Explorer. How can I fix it?

    OE is set as my default email in both Firefox and Windows XP. When I click on an email address on a website within Firefox the OE page comes up but the OE New Message window does not open. When I go to the same webpage using MS Explorer and click on the same email the OE New message does open. Is there a bud in Firefox that prevents the OE New Message from opening? Is there a way I can fix it?

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • Connect-SPOService : The Application ID (AppID) for which the service ticket is requested does not exist on the system.

    I am trying to connect to SharePoint in my Office 365 environment by following https://support.office.com/article/Set-up-the-SharePoint-Online-Management-Shell-environment-7b931221-63e2-45cc-9ebc-30e042f17e2c and I am getting:

    Is there some setting I need to change on the O365 side? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that you want connect SharePoint Online using PowerShell.
    Please make sure that the following software is installed.
    Windows Management Framework 3.0
    SharePoint Online Management Shell
    And then, open the SharePoint Online Management Shell and use the Script below to test
    whether it works.
    $User = "[username]@[tenant].onmicrosoft.com"
    $Pass = "[password]"
    $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($User,(ConvertTo-SecureString $Pass -AsPlainText -Force));
    Connect-SPOService -Url https://[tenant]-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $creds
    Get-SPOSite

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

  • How can I Upload Pictures, from my Mac Book Pro Retina Display with Mountain Lion OS? Tried but it gets as far asi  pictures but does not open?

    How can I Upload Pictures, from my Mac Book Pro Retina Display with Mountain Lion OS? Tried but it gets as far as i pictures but does not open?

    This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
    As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
    You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
    You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there.

    Do you mean through iCloud?  You need to go to settings > iCloud and "delete account" and then sign in with the newly named account.  You'll want to do similar for facetime, messages, and store.

  • TS2313 Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help.

    Recently downloaded the new podcast app, but does not play offline. Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Hey Karenfromanamosa,
    I fixed this problem by turning off the ipad and then turning it back on after 5-10 minutes.
    Hopefully then when you play a video it will start playing.

  • TS1367 My charger connects with my macbook with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery.

    My charger connects with my computer with a very faint green light (not the normal orange light) and can maintain the computer turned on but does not charge the battery. The power source to keep it on is the power adapter and that it's "Not charging" on the battery settings. And my charger seems to charge other computers fine.
    The part of my mac where the adapter (L-shaped, magnetic) attaches is a bit damaged - a small piece of the white case/body around the part where the adapter attaches is broken off, but that's just an outer damage.
    I don't know what's wrong with my computer, and if anyone has had a similar experience or knows what's going on, it'd be tremendously helpful!
    Thank you!!

    Hi Christopher,
    Doubtful an upgrade would fix a hardware issue. If you are thinking of upgarding to Lion, best to do all necessary maintenance first.
    Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    If that doesn't help try here >  Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
