IMac screen is frozen even after re-starting several times.

My iMac screen is frozen. I have used the alt-command-esc and can get the Force Quite box to come up but the box buttons are unresponsive. I have also alt-command and powered off and shift-key powered off (while holding for several seconds). When I turn the computer back on, it will boot up and begin with it's usual pop-up screens (APC PowerChute & Adobe Updater) which are currently unresponsive and just stay on the screen. I can run my mouse over the deck eyecons and it still tells the names of each, but nothing happens when I click on any of them. Same thing with any desktop eyecons and toolbars. Any suggestions on how to unfreeze the screen when I can't seem to be able to do anything?
Many Thanks!

Is your iPad still under warranty? If so I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

My ipad has the apple frozen even after reset. what do i do?

Can you please specify more, what generation and is it wifi or wifi and cellular?
The best thing to do with all ipad's is try ro set it back to factory setting, go into itunes, open the screen that displays your ipad and press, reset r factory settings or something like that.
Remember to make a backup first! Otherwise you will lose all your files.

My IPad screen is grey even after I tried pressing the sleep and home button for reboot but turns out it stays grey.

You can try to reboot a few more times. If it doesn't come back and you normally sync to a computer, hook it up and see if the 'guts' are working even if the screen isn't.
Beyond that you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

Ipod touch screen not working even after resetting to factory specs

That indicates you have a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Preview is STILL frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. Help?!? I need to see my files!

Not sure what I did, but Preview continues to stay frozen even after force quitting, rebooting and reopening. It seems like it is trying to open all 720 pdf documents I have on my internal memory. That's my best guess... I really don't know what happened. I've tried clicking the 'close windows when closing application' option under general settings and every other thing I've seen listed on help sites... nothing is working. PLEASE HELP?!?

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

Have white screen on iPhone 5 after it started and worked for over 10 hours

So now that I have joined the community, I can see this question was asked before.... so I think I have my answer
It just takes a loooooong time

Screen went dim even after sync

My iPhone 3GS had the screen go dim, where I can barely see anything (almost black). I've re-started several times. I've backed up to iTunes. I updated iTunes. Updated phone. Synced phone to iTunes. Then restored phone to factory settings. Still same problem. I can hear sounds, but can't see enough to even slide the arrow to answer an incoming call. Please advise. Thanks!

it can be a few things but based on my experience its a defective inverterboard.. they fry from time to time.. its the little board that supplies ur LCD screen with that massive amount of power it takes to create the backlighting.. if u attempt to replace it ur self keep your fingers at distance if its powered on.. theres huge ammounts of voltage in that little board .. pretty harmless as theres no current almost but its gonna light up your finger like a christmas tree :)
inverter boards is around 28 eur i guess and they are fairly easy to replace.. (but if ur not good with a screw driver take it to a authorized workshop)
but before u do this take alook at ur "dim switch" at the screen if there is one of those.. it could be dust or something else pushing that litte button down and that would keep ur screen from lighting..

Impossible to help if you don't at least fill out a profile that tells us which iMac you have, what version of OS X is installed, how much RAM the system has etc....

Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 keeps reappearing in the App Store Update even after updating many many times. I have no Thunderbolt cables connected.

HT3964 1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with each time reboot being worse. Now, unplug reboot and eventually wallpaper background comes up but there are no icons?

1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with no correction. Eventually, shut down, unplug and reboot resulted in wallpaper background eventually coming on screen but no icons. Nothing after that.

Kurt, do you know which exact iMac this is?
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does it do better if allowed to cool off for a couple of hours?
What do you see if you hold Option or alt key at bootup?
Does it boot from the install disc holding c key at bootup?

880GMA-E45 - Need to press start several times

Hi,
880GMA-E45 with a Phenom II X2 555.
I've unlock the Phenom using auto features of this motherboard (4cores). I've installed Win7 x64 without any problem.
Then, I've updated the bios to the latest v17.7.
Now, when I press start, the computer shuts down within few seconds. I do that 3 to 4 times then it starts normally and works correctly. If I set only two core (I keep the unlock feature on). Same problem
If I disable the unlock feature, it starts on the first try.
Probably related to the bios update but not 100% sure (with the original bios I've not made a lot of start up ... not sure that it was starting up correctly with unlock core on)
Any idea?
Thanks

That is Intel memory.
3 sticks on AMD is not a good idea.
Either use 2 or 4, but not 3.
Also because it is Intel memory, it can have wrong timings for AMD.
And please stop the OC stuff until the problem is solved, as OC on top is seeking problems.
(thanks for your response)
Already tried with two (and one) memory stick.
The Phenom is not overclocked and runs at its normal frequency. There's no OC set up in the bios (OC Genie Lite disabled, no manual settings)
To be short: since the new bios when I use the unlock feature (nothing else changed), I have to press start several times (OC Retry Count +1)
I don't think the problem is coming from a faulty core (even if I manually enable one, two or three cores with unlock ON .. same problem)

My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it

My mac air is re-starting several times during the day, anyone have any idea what I can do to fixed it?

I was having this problem while still using Mavericks -- it started after a Mavericks update last spring. During the initial Yosemite beta runs over the summer, it seemed to be fixed, but after the official launch in October, I had all sorts of problems keeping connected. Its gotten a little better, but still happens to at least one of my devices every day. Weird that we still cannot figure out why the connection keeps dropping on some devices, but not others, and then the next day, one of the devices that didn't disconnect the previous day will disconnect, but the ones that did disconnect, stay connected. It's just sloppy, poorly written software for technology that isn't working the way it should. If you turn off Continuity and Handoff on all your devices, you will probably see that everything stays connected. With those turned off on all devices, TC stayed connected to everything for over a month. The day I turned Continuity back on, all the problems started again. It had something to do with the bluetooth version being used, the wifi routine, and Apple's AirPlay technology not quite getting along with each other.

You can always shut it down manually via the Task Manager
(CtrlShiftEsc)...

A few days ago I bought my first IMAC. I needed to download Mountain Lion, and I would get it for free as it's a new IMAC. Apple sent me a 'content code' - several times - because every time I enter it, it says the code is wrong.

Sorry to ask, but is it case sensitive?
Otherwise best to contact support and register a ticket: http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
