I "stopped" items from going in the trash. Going on for two days now. Cannot turn off Mac while this is happening. How do I stop it?
I have a MacBookPro OSX Lion version 10.7.5 I was trashing a lot of pictures. While the trash was working I added some more and got a separate box with all the items listed individually saying "transferring to trash". It was taking a long time so I clicked on the little "x" to stop the transfer. I have messages that say "stopping" for two days now. I cannot turn the computer off as long as this is going on.
How do I stop this?
Thank you.
Hi Vickifromnewyork,
Welcome to the Support Communities! If your computer will not shut down, you can force it to do so by holding the power button down until the screen goes dark. Here are the shortcut keys for Lion:

MacBook Pro doesnt start. When I start my lap top, it shows the apple and the line uploading but it only goes like to 1/3 and then it goes blank for some seconds, then it turns off by itself and turn on again and happen the same, apple logo, line .. the noise like-fan going on, then turn off and turn on again. Tried starting holding option command P and R key and didnt work either. Starting to think I have lost all my data inside
Try a SMC reset.

It might be helpful if you indicated the exact model/year of your MBP. Are you running Lion OSX?

Hi, I upgraded from iOS 5.1.1, to iOS 6, and it's ridiculously slow, I can't sync to my computer, (manually manage music), and all of my photos were gone. How can I get my photos back? It says restoring photos, but it's said that for two days now!
It just does't sync. I connect it to itunes, but nothing happens. Where it says how much space I have, it's just on ebig bar that says other. I can play my music on itunes, but not when i unplug it.
All of my photos were gone, i took and saved them with my ipod.
The photo app is saying restoring.
What should i do? -

I recently upgraded from iPhone 5s to iPhone 6 Plus. When I go to view my photos, all of them are blank and at the bottom, it says "Downloading..." It has been this way for two days, but hasn't really downloaded any of my photos yet. Does it normally take this long? Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
IF you are getting no messages period - not just no iMessages - then it is very likely a carrier issue. It is AT&T and not the phone. SMS travels via the carrier wave used to make phone calls - iMessages use data and go through Apple servers as you know
If you are getting no messages at all - then I wonder if your cell service is ok or if you are in an area of strong signal - then does your SIM card need to be looked at -
I'm charging my iPad. But everytime it goes to turn on it immediately shuts off. This has been going on for two hours. What do I do?
First, you can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
If yes, it may not be charging properly. Be sure you are using the charger that came with the iPad. The iPad 2 requires a 10W charger. If you are using a different charger, including the one that came with an iPhone, it will charge very slowly if at all.
Also try charging a different device with the charger to be sure it and the cable are working properly. -
I am trying to download apps but all that happens is the icon appears with a "waiting" underneath it. Updates do the same and so I am not able to download anything. I have rebooted the iPad this hasn't helped. I am able to sync the iPad with my PC and this updates everything. I would however not have to do this constantly. Any ideas on how to solve this download issue.
Thanksturn your ipad off by holding the sleep wake button for 5 seconds and slide to turn off then turn it back on and the apps should be finished and if the apps didnt finish just redownload them

For the past two days I've been trying to contact iTunes support via email. I've emailed them in the past and they've always got back to me the same day. Now it's been two days. I'm quite disappointed that I didn't get a response yet. I'm not really sure what to do. I even tried emailing them yesterday as well with still no luck. I really feel neglected as a customer.
You mean other than the fact that it was a weekend? I don't know how much staff Apple has working on weekends, but it's likely to be less than during normal business hours. I'd suggest that you first check any antispam filters that may be in operation on your email account, and if they're not trapping messages from Apple you wait until tomorrow (Tuesday) and if you still haven't received a response try contacting iTunes Support again.

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?
Bill MartinI can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu. -
I spilled diluted orange juice on my laptop, afterwards I switched it off to let it dry, switched it back on and it worked for about 10 mins then switched off and won't switch on again. The battery indicator on the side is constantly on. Please any advice would be extremely appreciated.

- Have you tried resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to computer and if it shows in iTunes restore.
- If screen is still on, let the battery fully drain. Then charge for an hour and try the reset and retore again. -

Yesterday morning, my phone decided to kick me of my network and not let me back in. In the top left corner, it just says 'Searching...'. I have tried restarting my phone, resetting all settings and resetting network settings and nothing has decided to work for me. I then went to reset my phone but it will not let me log out of 'Find my Phone'. Therefore it did not allow me to reset my phone.
Please can somebody help.
Thanks.You'll have to unlock the phone in icloud.com/find to be able to get pass the activation lock.
