Is there anyway to shutdown from Terminal

My aging G5 running Leopard is hanging up at random times. Up to now, I have had to shut down the machine by pushing and holding the power switch. I know this is a bad thing to do, but I do not know any other way.
Is there any special set of keystrokes that will bring up the terminal from a hung up machine and allow me then shut it down ????
Thanks for your help.

Hi Dick, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Nothing at all may work depending where/how it's froze, but the key combo of Control+Eject, (F12), may bring up the Restart/Shutdown Dialog box and the 1st letter of each will selct that button.
CommandOptionesc = Bring up Force Quit window
CommandControleject = Restart immediately
CommandOption+Controleject = Shutdown immediately
CommandControlpower button = Force restart

  • Is there anyway to view from iTunes which apps are on my iPhone right now?

    I was wondering if there is a way to see what apps are on an iPhone right now. I can see purchased items from iTunes, but would like to see what apps are currently on the iPhone.

    iTunes running, your phone connected, tap the "Apps Tab".

  • Is there anyway to downgrade from OS Mavericks to OS X?

    If I have download it, and I don't like it so can I just some how downgrade it?

    Simplest thing would be to get an external hard drive and clone your system before you upgrade.  Then, if you wish to go back to what you had prior to Mavericks, just boot from the external clone drive, and clone it back onto the internal boot drive.

  • Is there anyway to jump from app directly to store?

    Before the terrible reign of the Podcast app, you used to be able to jump directly from a Podcast's list to that specific podcast's download page in the store. Is this feature just completely gone.
    <Edited by Host>

    This really needs to be fixed and it seems bizarre to me that you'd lose that feature, as it's just how I naturally use podcasts. I tend not to subscribe, I just get new episodes when I feel like listening and this new app really hinders doing that.
    Additionally, when searching manually in the podcast store, the search in the podcast store is not that smart, searching for the title of the podcast brings up others I wasn't looking for, so it's a double hassle.

  • Anyway to restore from iCloud backup after initial setup?

    I purchased a new 5s today - my old 4s was backed up to iCloud - the store moved my contacts but I guess they skipped the cloud restore part so I don't have any of my apps - is there anyway to restore from cloud backup after initial setup?  I think I can reset it but not sure how to do it and I'm afraid of what it will delete if I reset - please help - I could reload my apps but it won't keep my data right? Thanks

    You should check to make sure that your contacts/information is in your iCloud by logging into iCloud.com. You can also plug your device into iTunes and check when the most recent iCloud backup was before restoring from it.
    If your information is there, then you can go through the activation process again pretty easily by going into Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Then you can just restore from your iCloud backup.

  • Is there anyway we can remove a perticular thread from a threadgroup?

    Is there anyway we can remove a perticular thread from a threadgroup?
    The context is like this :
    I am creating a thread to monitor a server, that monitors it after perticular timeperiods.
    while creating it i register this thread into a thread group too.
    So when i want to stop this thread ,i also want to remove this from a threadgroup also.
    Is there anyway we can do it ?

    dear davidholmes :
    I've checked it , if i interrupt a thread ,it will be
    removed from the thread group.The interrupt is just a means for you to tell the thread you'd like it to terminate. It is termination that removes the thread from its group.
    But wht about the thread object in memory(i.e. in
    running environment)
    will it also be eligible for garbage collection ?A thread that isAlive can't be GC'ed, after that ... you already have the answer.

  • Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

    Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock?
    I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
    Any App or plug-in that does that?
    Many thanks
    Kevin

    Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
    1.  In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
    2.  Export the playlist (as .m3u works well).  Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
    3.  In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
    4.  Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
    5.  For "alarm" select Open File.
    6.  Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open.  It will probably be some default entry (like iCal).  Click on it will allow you to select "other."  Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
    Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time.  You don't need to keep iCal running.  If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do.  Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button.  Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • HT4914 I often record songs at a particular tempo, iTunes Match will then match it and send it back to me at the original tempo, is there anyway I can stop some songs from being matched. At the moment I have turned match off. But I would like to sync play

    How old was this backup? It sounds like it was at least several weeks old.
    You can look directly in the TM backup for the music.
    1. Connect to the external HDD the backup is kept on.
    2. Open a Finder window and select the backup drive in the left hand panel. Double click into the folders until you see a list of folders with dates.
    These are the incremental backups. You can start at the top or the bottom of the list but I suggest you double Latest/<HDD Name>/Users/<Account Name>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music. From this location you can start looking for the "missing" music. When/if you find it you can simply drag-n-drop to ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music on the internal HDD.
    If the music is actually not in the backups (for whatever reason) then you've got a problem.
    You can download the uploaded files from the cloud by deleting the affected tracks from the iTunes library (but not the cloud!), highlighting multiple tracks at once, right-clicking and choosing "download."

  • I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

    I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.
