Logout, restart, shutdown all get stuck

After Quicksilver G4 has been idle for a few hours and I come along to shut it down or log out, it starts the process but gets stuck at the blue screen and spinning doohickey. (not the beachball). I've let it sit for over a half hour.
I can SSH into it and there are no stuck processes, no CPU overload, no memory overruns. It's just sitting there drooling.
The only other symptom is that the eject key doesn't function sometimes. If it is one of those times, I can be sure it will hang on reboot. Other times the eject key works fine regardless of whether there is a disc in there or not.
Happened with 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, but never with 10.4.x
Strange huh?

Open Activity Monitor (/Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app), and see if you can spot any thing to do with Safari or Firefox in there.

Unexplained system beep at logout/restart/shutdown

For some time now, whenever I logout, restart, or shutdown my iMac, the system beep would sound. Is this normal? Why does it do this? Other than that, everything seems fine.

Mine does this too, not sure why.. Also, how to post discussions?

Help-HP Pavilion All in 1 (Windows 8.1) gets stuck on start up

Help,
I am not a real techy person and am frustrated and read to get rid of this new HP. I will do my best to outline the issues occuring.
Computer is new less than a month. Came with 8.1 out of the box. Did initial set up and then it did its thing applying updates. In first few days in, when updates would occur and it had to restart it would get stuck and the HP logo would appear and be froze with no spinning wheel icon. It then appeared to open a PC Check Up at which point we ended up running and that wiped out any Apps, we put on it, and documentes like Word documents that we transferred over and had saved from old computer and some programs that we put on like Office etc. Starting over wife reset it all up, with items we needed and had it do the updates individually instead of all.
It seems to have worked better for past 2 week but when just turning on with power button it is a gamble, sometimes it starts fine, other times stuck on HP screen. It seems to get stuck after updates were applied, like the day prior.
Wife is for "techy" in this arena and has gotten past the lock up issue, sometimes a hard restart and it will work. Today though was completely stuck again, unusable machine and it ran another PC Check Up and did a System Refresh. It never presents an option to choose a past date to refresh too and so this time we at least saved our documents BUT lost all apps and programs we use. I was at least able to get back on the machine after it ran its process.
Please Help. I use this machine for work and need to rely on it, but every day the stress of "wondering" if it will start up or not is wearing on me.
I have read forums where it sounds like a common issue, but the suggested solutions vary greatly and to me this is a brand new machine that should not be causing me this headache! I read about the "Hybrid Reboot as possible cause" "Doing things in your BIOS and disabling blah blah" "One where they saind HP has a fix but you need to apply the most recent update" I fear any update at this point at those tedn to make this machine not work when starting up and tired of doing system refresh and losing things to start all over again.
I had a DELL for years, that over time did become slow, BUT it did always start up without an isssue and I never stressed whether it would be usable on a daily basis.
HELP, Suggestions please.
Also, is there a way to pick a past date to restore to? Been unable to find that option like I did on past computers.

Hi again Al259,
Thank you for the quick reply!
If you are not able to successfully restore to a previous working point on your desktop, I recommend performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for your in-warranty replacement options. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Mac Pro gets stuck on Apple logo

I installed Lion last week (clean restore) and everything was running fine... I left my mac for a little, came back and noticed on the top right of the mac by the time and spotlight the screen looked weird, like the screen was a different color, but it was just there. Then I realized the mac was also frozen. I held the power button and when it restarted it got stuck on the Apple logo...
I've tried restarting in Safe Mode. Held down the option key, tried using the Lion Recovery HD, a flash drive with Lion on it (that I used to install Lion with) and a Snow Leopard install disk. They all get stuck on the Apple logo. The weird thing is, my friend took out my HD from my Mac Pro and put it in his and it worked perfectly... So I thought it was a hardware problem with my mac, but the thing is, when I hold down the option key and I load into Windows 7 off of my mac it works perfectly fine, so it seems it's not a hardware problem...
Anyone get any ideas?
Thanks,
Zevie

Hardware can mean that you have something that Lion is allergic to.
Not that it prevents the machine from running 10.6 or Windows 7/8 even.
Don't repair a system with an older system. Or tool. Make sure that it is updated and compliant. Thinks like TechTool Pro 6 and DW all have to be tested, and updated. Disk Utility from 10.6.8 is probably not a good idea and does not understand the new drive partitioning. Use the Recovery Mode partition instead.
And wait. Unless you like to test a new OS or on the edge, where it bleeds.

MacBook Pro won't start up. Gets stuck in Gray Screen

Ever since two days ago when I did a regular systems update of iLife, iWork and a bunch of other updates to my MacBook Pro, the thing wouldn't restart. It gets stuck in the gray screen and no apple symbol shows up.
Just on a chance, I turned the power off and the MacBook Pro continued to start up, and was fine. I'm wondering if because I didn't update to Leopard yet, there might be a conflict due to my recent updates, or maybe one of my peripherals is causing it to stall in start up? I have my iPhone dock, External Hard Drive, Apple LCD Screen, Mac Mini Style Hub, and HP printer plugged into the MacBook Pro.
This has ONLY started to happen when I recently updated in systems updater. It's happened 2-3 times. After I send this I will check it again, but I think I will have to AGAIN start using only the battery source and not plugged into the outlet.
Maybe installing Leopard will fix this problem? I am getting it fedexed in a day or two.
What could it be?
Help!!
Thanks,
Lainey

I haven't received Leopard yet, so haven't tried to install. It's when I use Software Updater. the last update is what I think is causing the stall.
I tried something though. When it stalled this last time, I pressed the LCD on switch on my 17 inch monitor, and then the start continued. Is there maybe a driver update needed for the 17 inch monitor now that I updated some softwarevia Software updater, or is that just me being paranoid?
Maybe the software updater installed stuff that needs Leopard to run properly. Once I install Leopard, I'll let you know how it goes. MEanwhile, I am going to try restarting a few more times.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd.
Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart. Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk. I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work. The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine. When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open.
Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does.
Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
All of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:
http://www.crucial.com/store/drammemory.aspx
I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
I hope you'll post here with your results!

I just updated my iphone to ios7 and I keep getting stuck at the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. I click 'Restore from Itunes Backup', but it only ends up restarting after restoring and fails to get past the 'Set up your iPhone' screen. Any ideas?

Normally, I would suggest restoring the iPad and uninstall and reinstall iTunes but you have done both of those things - more times than you ever imagined!
Have you thought about turning auto syncing off?
Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
If you do this you can backup the iPad right away before it syncs. You may want to go into all of the iTunes tabs and just make sure that all of the current content on the iPad is selected to sync before you actually do sync.
This doesn't solve the problem, but it would prevent the automatic sync and erasing content. Hopefully, in the next few days- when iOS 5 is released - you will also be relieved of this weird iPad behavior - since the iOS devices are supposed to become PC free.
BTW - and this is no excuse for what you are experiencing, but I have found that some of the game apps that I had on my iPad turned out to be quite troublesome and after I removed them, my problems went away. I know that is almost sacrilege with regard to the Angry Birds addiction .... But I'm just saying ...

Sleep, Restart, Shutdown loop - how do I get out of this loop?

I installed os X Panther on mom's older iMac.
Tonight, when it's booted it comes up with "sleep, restart, shutdown" options.
We've selected each of these 3 items, waited, then either woke it up, waited for it to restart, or restarted it from shutdown; however, again it will eventually show a screen that only allows her to select "sleep, restart, shutdown"
How does she get out of this loop?
Note: There is not option to cancel the screen that has "sleep, restart, shutdown."

It shouldn't be necessary to reboot the computer to complete an update.<br />
Download a fresh copy of Firefox ([http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html]) and do a reinstall of Firefox on top of the current version.<br />
You may need to do a clean install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Does anyone have some experience with this? It's a fairly good sized backup (well, for me at least) so I'd really hate to have to start over every time one fails!
Thanks,

Ok, solved-ish. There were actually 3 issues:
1. There's a problem in the 0.6.18 new python paraminko ssh internals that was preventing it from uploading more than about 1GB at a time, possibly because it's reusing the same ssh connection which some webhosts will kick off after a certain time or amount.
2. The --num-retries parameter wasn't being read by the ssh backend
3. There's a bug in some encryption validation code that had to be removed before a 'resume backup' operation would work correctly (it won't read the GPG encryption key correctly).
So I reverted to 0.6.17 and removed a previously applied patch from the code found here.
So far it seems to be working. The dev who answered me on Launchpad said that there's a memory leak with 0.6.17 so watch out when doing any backups over ~100GB or so.

Restart gets stuck when downloading updates on MacBook Pro

When I go into the Software updates on my Mac Book Pro, it says that all the updates are downloaded, but then when I hit restart, I get the big "space" screen and it doesn't do anything. It gets stuck there.
Help!

Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:

Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

Download All on Playlist begins to download, but gets stuck

I have various playlists in iTunes that I created on my Macbook. Some are manual, some are smart playlists. I recently subscribed to iTunes match and I'd like to download all the songs from a couple of these playlists onto my iPhone 6 so I don't have to stream them when I'm not on a WiFi network (i.e. in the car).
To reproduce:
On my iPhone, I open the music app
Navigate to a playlist where I see at the top a button to "Download All (XX songs)" and the cloud download icon.
Tap the Cloud icon
The songs that have not been downloaded have an icon next to them that changes from a cloud to a spinning circle.
Some songs begin to download, changing the icon again, this time to a download progression indicator, but most songs never make it past the initial spinning circle and remain that way indefinitely.
If if tap on the spinning circle next to the stuck song, it initiates the download.
The songs that are stuck do not show up in the Downloads section of the iTunes app while the songs that are downloading do show up there.
This is fine for a few songs, but when I have a playlist with a few hundred items that just "spin" and won't download, this is ridiculous.
Attempted solutions that have not worked:
Closing the Music app and opening again.
Closing the Music app, closing background processing (flicking it up, off the screen) and opening again.
Turning off iTunes Match from my iPhone, waiting until the music has cleared off my iPhone, then turning it back on. (This actually created other issues as it tried to redownload thousands of songs at once.)
Signing out of iTunes Match on my macbook, waiting, then signing back in.
Soft resetting the iPhone (Holding HOME and POWER) until it restarts.
Background:
There does not appear to be a correlation between a 'matched' iTunes song and an 'uploaded' one. Some matched songs have downloaded, some haven't.
Smart playlists and manual playlists are both affected.
The playlist seems to know instantly how many can be downloaded. When I tap the Download All cloud, the number of songs listed in parentheses next to "Download All" immediately drops to a lower number (if it drops at all), then will not progress any further.
If a song exists in multiple playlists, it may download in one but get stuck in another.
Any ideas at all on how to fix this? Maybe an iOS bug? I'm running iOS 8.1.2 on an iPhone 6. Maybe something in my account?

I am having this problem and i could not have explained it better myself.
I have been a iTunes match users since launch and this is the first time i have had this issue. It only seems to be the problem since updating to 8.1.2 because i have no issues downloading whole playlists last week right after i had purchased my new iPhone 6, which was running 8.1.1.
I guess we can only hope to have this issue resolved with a new update, however iTunes Match seems to be becoming increasingly neglected in its support, and continues to be remarkably buggy. Fingers crossed for a fix soon.

Hi Guys!
I'm German, so my english writing might not be perfect
I had the same Issue on a 5 i bought. Exact same screen and writing. Battery was totally drawn, first thing I had to replace. The screen had been replaced and since then it wouldn't work anymore according to the previous owner.
It took me a couple hours, after recieving a few errors like 4013 it just never completed the restore, got really hot as well. The Flexwire of the Dock Connector seemed damaged, replaced the dock, but that didn't help.
I almost gave up, thought the Logic Board was bad.
BUT! Then i deceided to check if it has anything to do with the Screen assembly, and it did.
Long story short, on mine the front facing camera, and sensor assy were bad.
Anyhow, the phone works ''perfect'' when i leave them unplugged. So I just ordered a new one and we will see if thats the problem or if the damage is in the Logic Board.
If so, i can live without the sensor and front cam.
Just wanted to share, good luck everyone.

Logout, restart, shutdown all get stuck
