Illustrator CS4 switches on, then quickly turns off - help
For the past few days I have have been experiencing problems with my product. As soon as I turn it on, it doesn't even make it to the opening dialog box (the one where it says New or Open etc). It briefly shows the box (blank) and the interface with all the tools etc behind it, but then it shuts down. Can anyone tell why this is happening?
Hussnain,
You may try to follow the explanations/suggestions in Move the folder or Other options (two of the hints on the web page linked to here).

Try a SMC reset.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.
Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?
I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date. -
my iphone 4 only turns on when its plugged into a wall and when it finally turns on it lasts for about a minute then it turns off and while its on the signal says searching, what should i do?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. You likely have a bad battery.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

or
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

my iphone 3gs said it was out of service then it turned off and when it turned on it said to activated then it said to plug in to itunes i did that n it turns back off. how can i fix it?? or whats wrong
If it continues to show the connect to iTunes graphic, then you do have to restore the phone. If you have not created a backup of your phone, then I hope you use icould because this will erase all of the info on the phone.

10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart.
10.9.1 installs, then system turns off and does not restart. When I eventually turn it back on, it installs again, then turns off.. Endless Cycle.. I have booted to restore disk, found errors that needed to be repaired and tried to repair them but system told me, after a few minutes, its not possible to repair. When I restart back to main disk, it shows the install AGAIN and then turns off. Much appreciate any Ideas?
All I can tell you is that:
Antivirus software, aside from being next to useless on Macs, is a common source of problems with Mavericks.
Google Drive was incompatible with Mavericks last time I looked.
WD hard drives have software that comes on the drives that is incompatible with Mavericks, software that comes with the drives that they want you to install on your mac which is incompatible with Mavericks, and in some cases firmware in the hardware of the drive enclosure itself which is incompatible with Mavericks. And all of this software is completely unnecessary. The good folks at WD have really worked hard to ensure that their products won't work with Mavericks. Bless their little pointy corporate heads. I'll bet that's the last WD drive you'll buy.
Basically you would need to get all this stuff uninstalled from your hard drive before it will reliably work with Mavericks. But even then, it might not work, because old/bad/incompatible software can alter your OS and the kernel such that uninstalling it won't help- the OS/kernel may be damaged such that you have no alternatives other than to erase the HD and start over. And anyway, currently you can't boot your HD to be able to access the Finder so unless you're going to spend a weekend with the Terminal you won't be able to uninstall that stuff in the first place. If I were you I'd just go ahead and erase the HD and install Mavericks from scratch.
10.9.1 doesn't come on a CD. If you had another (working) mac you could make a bootable installer flash drive with DiskMaker X and an 8 GB key drive DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) , but then you'd still have the same problem, the incompatible software would still be on your HD, unless you erase it first before you try installing Mavericks again. So there's really nothing to gain by having the Mavericks installer on a disk.
If you have a third party utility like Techtool Pro 7 you might be able to boot from the TechTool disk and repair your HD enough for it to boot.

First try a reset, by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If that fails, you can try restoring the iPad using Recovery Mode.

I can't start my macbook pro because I turned it off when I got a trojan on my mac. When I turn on my mac I get the message that my computer restarted because of a problem. Then it turns off again and turns on again and it starts all over. What can I do?
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery

Howdy AJBA,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your iPhone will get to the Apple logo and then restart again, please follow the directions outlined below.
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Get more help
If you still need help after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.

Take care,

I replaced the screen on my late 2007 laptop, now it won't boot. It Bongs and the wheel turns and then it turns off. I have tried a tech tool pro 3 disk, no results tried the osX tiger disk no results but bong and wheel. any ideas?
I have not tried disk warrior yet,but will. I had it stored until I could get screen, battery is dead, and to be honest I forgot which OS I have in it, If I can Get screen up maybe I can get my info.
