I dowloaded a few files from the website MEGA and was given a few warnings but downloaded anyway. Now my computer tells me to restart like every 10 minutes. How can I fix this?

Please Help fast!!!!

Wipe your computer - erase the system drive - and do a clean install.
If you have a tower not a notebook more likely to keep more backups  you can boot from, and restore from.
Always have a backup copy of the system - off line and safe - that you can restore from.
Did you look for how to use Mountain Lion Recovery Mode / Safe Mode /
Maybe it is possible to do Safe Boot and disable any added login items, startup items, and use Activity Monitor to kill any process.
The Mac does not have a real sandbox or restore points, but you can always use TimeMachine and reinstall the operating system.

    Try resetting the phone. Hold the home and power lock button until the Apple logo appears.If that does not work, turn the phone off and take the SIM out and then put it back in.
    If that still does not work, you may have a defective SIM, in which case you will need a new one from your carrier.

  • After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    After our computer crashed,itunes no longer recoginizes our ipods.How can I fix this problem?

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

  • My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

    My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
    So my songs should be listed like this:
    A
    Advice
    B
    Bang
    C
    Chinter's will
    K
    KannaZuki No Miko
    L
    Lights

    The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

    I use escoinst.com for practice tests for epa classes, but firefox boots me off the site after about 15 minutes. I need to stay on this site for an average of 30 minutes. How can I remedy this problem?

    I just did the about:config....I do not have dom.ip.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll; I do have dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np2pstub.dll;false. Also, my timeoutSecs is set at 45. I also noticed that a few of the things are listed as userset and the others are default. What should they be? I don't recall setting anything.
    Thanks for any help in resolving this 5 month very frustrating issue.

  • My iPhone 4 keeps restarting by itself. How can I fix this, what is casusing it?

    I've seen several other adds about people saying their iPhone automatically resetting as well, but no salutions or advice of why it could be doing this.
    My battery seems to drain pretty quickly now too. 100% to 20 In maybe 20mins.
    My phone gets really hot randomly from it also.
    What causes it? How can I fix it? Will apple replace it?
    It can't be an app, I havent made changes to my phone in months, and yes. It's on the most recent program for the iPhone.
    Ill add the reset occurs when making attempt to edit pictures in the regular album. Never had a problem with this before tonight.

  • My computer no longer recognizes my Model M9244LL ipod. how can i fix this?

    itunes managed to erase all the music on the ipod when I connected it, and would not continue after that. The ipod said do not disconnect, then the music i did have on it was all erased.  After that the ipod reset and now the battery dies every time i try connecting, even though it was charged before i started.
    Connecting seems to completely discharge the battery.
    NOW Itunes can no longer see the device and now my computer USB port will not recognize my Model M9244LL ipod classic.
    How can i get this ipod updated with my new playlist now.  Right now it has no more music on it, since itunes removed what was there.  Please someone help me out.  I would appreciate it so much.  Thanks.

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

  • I connected an old iPod from a different computer to my iTunes account and now my iTunes account will not let me download anything. My iPod touch will not take my password. How can I fix this?

    I connected an older iPod to my new iTunes account to download my new library to it. Now my new account is not recognizing my password and I can not download anything to my library and iPod touch, can you tell me how to fix this?

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • I changed Java settings and now Firefox crashes as it opens, even in safe mode; how can I fix this?

    I was trying to change settings to access the comments section of Slate.com. Right or wrong, I changed a Java setting from -1 to 2. The setting was in about:config and I believe it involved some sort of max. As I cannot open anything, I am not sure.
    When I made the change, firefox crashed immediately, Every time I have tried to reopen, even in safe mode, it immediately crashes again and will not reopen.

    Hi pternagy,
    Sorry you are having problems.
    For future reference. Those of us that mess directly with about:config soon learn how to recover from mistakes and what it is sensible to backup. Occasionally backing up your entire profile for instance can be useful and would have probably given you a quick solution of copying over the file from that backup.
    *[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    Ok on to the subject of trying to get Firefox back as it was:
    Find your profile and the file ''prefs.js'' and rename that. (The renamed file is a potentially useful backup.) Firefox is then forced to regenerate the file and will reset your preferences to the default. You can then re open and use Firefox. Next try to get it back to normal.
    Trying to manually edit the file ''prefs.js'' is normally a bad idea. However if it is a single pref change it may be possible to directly edit the prefs.js file (whilst Firefox is closed) to get everything back to how it was before . You have the renamed file to work with. Probably best to test all this out in a new additional profile then you only break additional test profiles not working profiles essential to Firefox.

  • FaceTime and Messages stopped working on my MacBook after I updated to Yosemite. Handoff does not work either. How can I fix this?

    Before I updated to Yosemite, I could FaceTime other people and Message other people with the MacBook Pro apps. However, after I updated to Yosemite, they stopped working. I get "not delivered" feedback on Messages, and "call failed" on FaceTime. I made sure that both have the correct emails checked and unchecked in the settings as my iPod, and made sure that the "make calls from" or "begin new conversations from" coincide with my handheld Apple media player.
    Am I not doing something? Am I doing something wrong?
    Any feedback would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
