  • My iCloud is stuck open, and won't let me restart my computer, what do i do?

    MY icloud account won't allow me to update, restart or x out of the system preferences, so i can't do anything else, and the icloud, system preferences window is frozen.

    Hit command-option(alt)-esc and select System Preferences in the list, then hit Force Quit. I should then restart.

  • I downloaded the OS X on my air and I can't use my keyboard and it won't let me restart my computer because it says that the application assistant canceled the shut down, I don't know what to do

    I downloaded the OS X on my air and I can't use my keyboard and it won't let me restart my computer because it says that the application assistant canceled the shut down, I don't know what to do

    When all else fails (it sounds like it has) hold the power button for about 10 seconds. This shuts down the computer. Then tap it to restart. Since it sounds like the OS upgrade began but then failed to perform a restart you may find that the Install Mavericks file is still in the Applications folder and you can try again. Or you might find that you have to redownload. I don't think the installation is going to proceed as if the computer had successfully restarted but I could be wrong (and in this case gladly so for your sake.)

  • Texts get "stuck" and won't send without restart. Help.

    I have had my S4 for just about 12 months. Over the last 2-3 months I have been having a horrible time sending texts. It is not related to the strength of my signal because it happens EVERYWHERE. In order to send a text that is "stuck", I have to restart my phone and resend my text. I am running on the most current software. Any advice?

    Its a software bug with the kitkat update, its easier just to enable airplane mode then disable it

  • Mail Won't Quit, and won't let me restart/shutdown...

    Mail --> Quit Mail gives me no response. Using the red "x" in the upper left corner, removes it from my screen (but of course doesn't close mail). When I click on the Mail icon in my Dock, nothing reappears. I have to do a File --> New Viewer Menu, turn on the toobar, etc. to use Mail.
    Mail cancels efforts at Restart and Shutdown of the computer. If I turn off the power, it starts right back where I am now? (Mail version 1.3.11, OS X version 10.3.9)
    Suggestions?

    Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
    Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
    Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
    The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be entered automatic and/or any email account you created as part of the original computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
    Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
    After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
    Test if this resolves the problem.

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

    Good call Collin. I would also zero the HD while I was starting over.

    You will need to Restore it as a New Device...
    Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

    Hi,
    Shut down and reboot your iOS (press and hold the wake/sleep button and when prompted, slide to poweroff and then press and hold the wake/sleep button to reboot).
    Go look what had happen with your apps.  Maybe it's ok.  If not, tap and hold its icon and then tap the X to delete it from your iOS device and redownload it from the app store (no charge for that).
    Juste to let you know, your description state iPad2 but you are in the forum for iPod.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

  • HT5622 iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID to get into Cloud segment of Settings.  Need to get this straight so I can backup to Cloud before updating to new System

    iPhone is stuck on old ID and won't let me change the ID in settings to get into Cloud.  Want to sync phone to Cloud before updating the Systems.  No such problem on other phone or 2 iPads linked to account.  Help!

    Thanks Bob,
    That was just a typo.
    I have three accounts set up in Mail, one of which, apart my the username which is my son's, has exactly the same settings as the one that isn't working and remember it's affecting all my devices.
    I would feel happier even if I could create a fourth account on my MacBook Pro using what I know to be the correct password for the server but when I try it keeps defaulting to imap type, I don't get an option for Pop which is what I need.
    Oh Bum.
