MacBookAir is frozen. Won't turn off. Getting VERY warm. Help, please!

Hi Katharine,
Hold down the power button until the screen turns black.
Then wait about a minute then press the power button once to turn it back on.
If you can't shut it down, if you're in the Walnut Creek I think you are, there's an Apple Store on South Main Street.
You can make a reservation at their Genius Bar in advance > Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

Mac book frozen, won't turn off or restart. I don't have any programs open.

My iPhone 4 is frozen on the "turn off spinning circle page" Help!!

After I tried to turn off my iPhone 4, it froze on the turn off page where the spinning circle spins before completely turning off. Its been like this for hours! I asked my collegues and my friends and they don't know. I tried to click the awake/sleep button with the home button at the same time and it won't turn off. Neither would clicking the sleep/awake button work where the red slide pops up. I tried connecting it to the computer and it won't load;only an error pops up and won't sync. Please Help!!

Not sure where you are now in trying to fix this? What was the Error # and message?
Lets start over. Reset, Hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone begins to restart.
If nothing, connect to Wall Charger for at least 10 minutes, the iPhone may start on own and be fine. If not, keep connected to Wall Charger and Reset again. If still problem you may need to Restore the iPhone Firmware.
If you decide to Restore Firmware. With iTunes open connect iPhone to Computer. Hold both Home and Power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. This usually take 20 seconds. Restore Firmware.
If this does not work then try DFU Mode Restore.
If still problems and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Charged indicator seems to be stuck, ipod won't turn off!!! help

I took my ipod running last week and it got a little damp in my trousers!!
Since then it will not turn off anymore. I have let the battery die down. I have reset it on the ipod and on itunes, but nothing seems to help.
It just won't turn off, the charged sign (large battery with a plug in it) shows all the time.
If I leave if as it is over night, the battery is then dead.
Can anybody help me.
It's an ipod nano 1gen. not even 6 months old.

If it got wet, set it in a cool, dry place and leave it there for at least a week. Then connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes, then Reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for at least 6 seconds). If it comes to life, connect it to your computer, Restore it in itunes, then let it fully charge.

Thunderbolt Display turns off / flicker / very warm

My Thunderbolt Display 27 is connected to my MacBook Pro Late 2013. After a while it turns off, starting to flicker. Disconnecting from MacBook and reconnecting the Display works for a while again. Same problem I have with my older MacBook Pro. So I am sure its not a problem of my latest MacBook Pro.
I have tried to turn of power saving, automatically brightness adjustment, doesn't work.
The left backside of the Thunderbolt is really very warm. Maybe its a fan problem ? The Display is only two years old and I was expecting to use it at least for 6 years.
Current firmware for thunderbolt display is installed.
Is there any solution for that ?

Did you purchsase Apple Care for the TB Display?

My iphone froze and now it won't turn on or charge! Help please!

I downloaded a book app onto my phone, after trying to use it, it froze and the home button wouldn't work, so me being the idiot that I am decided that maybe if I locked it, it would work.. it didn't and so the phone went black, but it would still ring and play music (although I couldn't answer), and then once my music stopped playing, I couldn't turn it back on. Now, my phone has finally died and has been charging for about an hour, via the wall and now via the computer and it still hasn't turned on. Any suggestions?

Mac Pro won't boot to disk array after Mac OS 10.6.8 combo update. Array two partition are there, just won't start off them anymore. Help, please

My 2009 Mac Pro with Highpoint RocketRAID 3522 would no longer boot of the disk array as it had before. Boots off internal HD (still running 10.6.2), sees the array in the Finder, both volumes there pass Disk Utility Repair Disk tests, they show up in System Preferences - Startup Disk. TechTool Pro 5.0.7 sees nothing wrong with the primary boot partition. (didn't try the clone still with 10.6.7) **** frustrating. Tried reinstalling latest firmware for card. Nothing reported by the drives in way of any failure. zapped the PRAM, tried booting with option key, it doesn't show the array but two copies of the internal HD. Running out of ideas. Any out there?

I am having the same problem with my HPT 4321. After upgrade, wont boot. Shows up everyone as bootable disk (even when holding option at startup) but Mac will not boot off it. I installed a fresh 10.6.8 copy onto a usb drive and HPT drivers work so might just be something to do with the main drive being bootable. To complicate things, the Snow Leopard DVD doesn't have the drivers to see the array so cannot use it for troubleshooting. It will not start in safe mode. Downloaded combo updater to try and re-update but it doesn't let you install it on another drive. HPT driver installer doesn't allow you to install on another drive so also can't re-install driver. Only choice seems to be install OS on new disk and recreate everything from scratch, then SuperDuper back to HPT drives and hope that it was a corruption during the update but not sure that it will boot even after all that work.
Anyone have a working computer with 10.6.8 and booting off a Highpoint RAID card?

my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I've tried the reset method, holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I'm on version 5.1.1 and all other functions work except that I cannot get onto the internet via wi-fi either. Help ??

My Ipad2 won't turn off. I have tried the reset method by holding both buttons down for at least 10 seconds, but this doesn't work. I can't get onto the internet via wi-fi either (don't have a 3G card fitted). All other functions seem to be working OK including charging. Not had this problem before, but I recently upgraded software to 5.1.1 so is there a bug in there somewhere?

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Hi, I've just appear to have deleted my iphone and now all I'm getting is the Apple icon.

but the icon goes and comes back again. It won't connect to Itunes, as the device is not showing
up. Can anyone HELP PLEASE. I think I need to reload Iphone back onto the device.

Try to force your phone into recovery mode. Disconnect it from the computer's USB cord. Turn it off if you can by holding the sleep/wake switch until you see the red slide to off. If you can't turn it off, please continue. Press and hold the home button while plugging it into the computer's USB cord. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Then you can restore your phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

My iphone 4S is frozen and won't turn off. Is there another way to reboot or turn off the phone besides the button at the top?

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button (I know you think it's broken, but try) and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

Could it be something as simple as the Hold switch got turned on? I would try resetting it.
This will work for Nano's generation 1-5.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6-8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 6th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 8-12 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 7th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home Button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.
