A Safe Mode boot might help ..
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
See if the problem persists.

I have an MAC OSX 10.6.7 and when I turn it on the fan keeps running. I shut down/turn on and it's the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.
jean156,
I am a little confused, you are posting in an iMac forum however your profile only indicates you have a MacPro. While I agree a SMC reset may help please carefully read the link The hatter provided because different Mac's have a different processes for resetting the SMC.
In the mean time you may want to update your profile (Your Stuff in upper right and click Profile) and also please post in the correct forum to avoid confusion. -
Hello! Can't open an IDML file. ID file was created in CC (10). It is a 100 page (50 spreads) doc that is one big table. It was created in CC (10) and saved as an IDML file. I have CS6 and when I try to open it, it shuts down ID almost instantly. The file was created on a MAC and I am trying to open it on a MAC. Any/all advice is greatly appreciated as I am up against a deadline with this unopened file! Many thanks in advance, Diane
There's a good chance the file is corrupt. As whomever sent it to you to verify it opens on their end.

recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?
Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me) -
Hi,
I have a macbook pro and when making outgoing calls on facetime I get to connecting but it never does connect, however I can receive incoming calls. Any suggestions please?Hey there kakitiga,
It sounds like you are trying to make a call with FaceTime, it never finishes connecting to the person you are trying to reach. I want to recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
If you encounter issues making or receiving FaceTime calls, try the following:
Verify that FaceTime is enabled in FaceTime > Preferences.If the issue persists, or if you see the message "Waiting for Activation", try toggling FaceTime off and then on.
Verify that the Date, Time, and Time Zone are set correctly:
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences > Date & Time > Date & Time.
Enable "Set Automatically".
Click the Time Zone tab and confirm the closest city is correct.
Verify that both parties are connected to an active broadband Internet connection.
See Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection.
Consult Using FaceTime behind a firewall for necessary ports to open in firewalls, security software and routers.
If you encounter issues using a Wi-Fi network, use standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting to resolve interference and other issues.
Verify the phone number or email address being used is the correct one activated for FaceTime.You can verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Verify that both parties have installed the latest software updates for their Mac and/or device. See:
Mac OS X: Updating your software
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Please help! I cannot figure out how to get the computer to stay on!
With the information provided, I can only guess. My guess is hardware problems, either bad motherboard or RAM.
You tried running the Apple Hardware Test from the install DVD for you Mac.

I HAVENT MADE ANY RECENT CHANGES TO MY MUSIC- NO DOWNLOADS /UPLOADS. ANY KNOWLEDGE OF THIS SITUATION? THANKS!!
Hey Ishland,
You are not alone. I'm getting the same thing I'm running Vista. I'm reading that Windows 8, 8.1 preview, Vista and XP.
I'm thinking this has to be a Apple update to iTunes 11.0.4.4 fix.
Cheers,
Steve
P.S. you might want to make your post easier to read by turning the cap lock off. -
i have tried the whole menu an lock button trick but it still wont turn on past the apple logo.

Issues with firefox where it wouldn't respond to above mentioned tasks, its like its clicking through the browser sometimes to screens behind it, or with drop down menus, it opens the menu up, but you click an option and it'll click on whatever the drop down menu is cover up. My computer has been running rather ragged lately which makes me think its a virus, I do have anti-virus and have tried a couple of programs to clean whatever it is up. I've also tried reinstalling firefox and that doesn't seem to help either.
In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver. -
I tried installing windows and something went wrong and now it seems I have erased Mac OS too because when I turn it on, it says Insert bootable device. Now what should I do?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Press Option key on boot and select the OS X partition. If it isn't here, press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and install Lion or Mountain Lion -
I recently purchase an ipad2. I also have a mac laptop. Now, when I facetime call using my iphone to my ipad2 or mac, it states busy. how can i fix this problem? I have the same apple id e mail for both ipad2 and mac. it might be getting confuse now. I want to be able to face time also using my ipad2 to my laptop especially if one of the members of the family is traveling. Thanks.
thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8. -

iMac Computer using 10.7.5, running iTunes 11.1.5, and using an iPad 2 with os 7.1 . I have over 300 movies in my library and when I share using video on the iPad, the titles covers are all on the wrong movies. How do I fix this?
Hi Michael,
I'm glad iTunes is working now! If you want to locate iTunes plug-ins on your computer, you can find them in the following locations (you may not have the iTunes Plug-ins folder if you do not have plug-ins):
Mac:
/Users/username/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
/Library/iTunes/iTunes Plug-ins/
One thing I also wanted to mention is that the "Users/username/Library" is hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion. You can access it using these steps:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
The Library folder contains files used by OS X and your apps, including your personal fonts and preferences. The Library folder is hidden. If you need to open it, make sure you are in the Finder, hold down the Option key, and then choose Go > Library.
You can find the full article here:
OS X Mountain Lion: What is the Library folder?
