MBP (Christmas '09) 13inch keeps getting prompted to restart after closing a program; mainly Safari

Hello all,
I got my MBP 13 inch Christmas, 2009 and loved it. Everything was immaculate up until about 5 mos. ago. Many wierd things have been occurring. For example, I have had MULTIPLE instances where I would be on Safari v10.6.8 and would scroll down or click a link and would either first see the spinning wheel after which it immediately shut down, or would notice that it was taking a while to do whatever, and then shut down (Safari, that is). I would re-open Safari and within the same time that it took to first shut itself off, it would do it again. and again. and again. I would then usually restart the system, after which everything was fine. On other multiple occurrances, when I would close down a program (mainly Safari... same version), I would get back to the desktop, and would, within seconds, see the "Tinted Curtain" as I call it, where the screen goes almost fully dark from top to bottom, mandating that it needed to restart, whereupon after restarting, I would get the disclaimer saying "Your computer shut down because of a problem. Would you like to report it",Da Da Da... I have always kept up with all updates to programs (that I use) when prompted to do so by the 'software update' thing (mainly Safari, ITunes, and Security updates), and have never downloaded anything wierd, or not authorized by Apple Co. If anyone has any info or suggestions as to what may be going on or how to fix this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks a ton. -Longstride

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

My computer is authorized to play purchases but for one of the songs I recently purchased I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer to play the song. How do I fix this?

I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.

That suggests the track is damaged.
If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information, when I do that, it says to fix errors, then to contact apple support, any ideas or know how to fix this?

Trying to make a purchase on itunes and keep getting prompted to verify account information. I've done this and when i click done, it says to fix errors; i repeat the process then it says to contact apple support. Any ideas or other experiences with this? I've had this happen before and it got resolved after i called them and it took a few days, not very convenient. The same thing happened when I was just trying to update my account info with a new billing / account address.
Thanks

You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

to contact the iTunes Store.

When trying to download apps on my new iPad I keep getting prompted to update my security questions for my safety. When I choose this option it freezes and won't load the questions, however, when I hit not now it won't let me download. What do I do?

Reboot your iPad and then see if you can set the security questions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Keep getting prompts re: iCloud does not recognize my address. Any ideas?

Recently the system would not recognized my apple ID/password, so I simply clicked on "forgot" and reset it. Weird, but it happened. Now everything works fine, except I keep getting prompts from Contacts, Mail and iCloud informing me that iCloud doesn't recognize my ID (email) or it just can't connect. Wonder what this is all about? Everything works, but these prompts are driving me nuts!

Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. See if that stops the prompts for your password.
(This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.)

Then your hard drive is full. You need to move large libraries to another location (like an external drive). Libraries like iPhoto, iTunes, and even iMovie Events, are very big space hogs.
iPhoto
Moving iPhoto Library - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229. and http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506.
iTunes
Moving iTunes Music from one computer to another or an external drive - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/8.2/en/15475.html and HT1449 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
iMovie
Moving iMovie Events to an external drive to save space see the following 2 articles:
PH2302 - How to move "Events Only" to an external hard drive - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2302?viewlocale=en_US.
PH2289 - How to move "Projects" (and their associated events) to an external drive - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2289?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US.
Also note, you can save space on your hard drive by deleting "Excess" unused video in your event folder - see the iMovie 11 help menu, and select the "browse help" tab. Under Manage Events, select "Delete all excess video from an event"
NOTE - ensure you are "Moving" the data, and not just "Copying" the data as per - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2302?viewlocale=en_US. (hold down COMMAND while dragging to the external drive) for the best results and less chance of loosing data connection with the project

I keep getting prompted to instal Reader and sign the agreement. But it is already installed.

When I try to use Reader in one application I keep getting prompted to install Reader and sign the agreement, even though it is already installed.

Have you accepted the EULA? How this is done depends on your platform, which we don't know.
