I entered time machine and wish to exit but the cancel button has no effect and neither does command quit.  I have no access to the Apple toolbar to use force quit.  How do I get out of this thing?????

I opened the backup window of my time machine.  I now wish to exit.  The cancel button and Command quit have no effect.  Turning off the IMac and disconnecting the time machine have no effect. I have no access to the normal tool bar. I want outa here.  Help!

As always.. pondini to the rescue..

    My daughter' iPad is stuck in Guided Access.  How do I get out?

    Try resetting the iPad - press and hold the Poewr and Home buttons until the screen goes blank, then release them. The iPad should reboot. Go straight into the Settings app and turn off Guided Access.

  • Every time I hit the app store I get the message "loading".   How can I get out of this and get the app "qrreader" that I want to load???

    I'm getting a little frustrated trying to get the "APP "  "qrreader".  Everytime I tap on the APP icon it is "loading".  How can I get out of this and start over with the

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • On Word I was copying a sentence, but the command has not been executed and the timer is constantly circling. It has been circling for over 10 minues. How do I get out of this?

    You probably will need to force-quit Word. Go to the Apple menu, choose "Force Quit", locate and select Word in the list of applications and click the "Force Quit" button. You will of course most likely lose any changes you made to the document since you last saved it (or it was auto-saved, if you have that option turned on in Word).

  • Hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4 os to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks

    hey, I accidently upgraded my iphone 4  to ios5, and stuck in "could not activate". How do i get out of this ? Thanks
    Got a i7 processor with win 7 64bit.
    How do i get back ?

    How do you "accidentaly" upgrade to iOS 5?  Are you a registered developer?  As I understand, Apple has told developers that they do NOT support downgrading from the Beta. You'll have to go over to the developers forums and see if someone there can help you.
    If you're not a registered developer, then congratulations. You are now the proud owner of an iBrick until you either pay to enter the developers program or until the final release comes out in the fall.

  • HT3224 I am new to Mac and started transferring data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  Connection was lost once I started and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring Information' screen.  How do I get out of this screen to attempt the connection again?

    II am new to Mac and was trying to transfer data from my PC to my new Macbook Pro.  The connection was lost however and now my Pro is stuck on the 'Transferring you nformation' screen.  How do I get out of this screen so I can attempt the connection again?  Is it safe to force shut down of my Mac and will it still prompt me through all the setup process again?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your Mac and PC are connected by Ethernet, unplug and plug that cable again. If not, you have to turn off the MacBook by holding the Power button.
    In the next startup, try to transfer your files again. It's important not to interrupt the transfer process, because in most cases, you will stop it and you won't be able to resume it

  • I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

    i restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have purchased an app and then I decided to delete it...but still apple is charging monthly...how can I get rid of this...

    I have purchased an app and then I decided to delete it...but still apple is charging monthly...how can I get rid of this...

    It sounds as if you purchased the app, but you also purchased some subscription within the app.  You say "Apple is charging monthly", but it's probably the app writer that is charging you monthly for some subscription you purchased within the app.  Contact the app vendor and tell them you want to stop the subscription.

  • How do I get out of this box????

    I froze after the original installation of lightroom 3 and couldn't decide whether to create a new lr file or upgrade my elements 9 file.  At the freezing point I am stuck in a little box which asks me to (myself!) create the file or choose another file.
    I don't know where to  create the file, or how to name it, or where to put it.  Would prefer to upgrade my photoshop elements file, but no longer seem to have that choice.  I can't get back to that choice.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled my new lightroom, but it just comes up to that box.
    Help help help please.

    Hi there...yikes, I don't use this email address very often and didn't see all the messages until just now.  I went on chat with an adobe person this morning, and he walked me through the manual removal procedure, including how to find hidden files.  Once I had deleted lightroom in that place, everything was fine and I could relaumch it completely...thanks for your interest.
