Msn messenger has frozen, can't turn off computer...any ideas?
Hi there
Can't sign in to msn messenger, i can't quit it either, computer won't turn off. I can't seem to get rid of it. Any ideas, anybody?
Do you otherwise have control of the iMac? Can you Force Quit Messenger. Force Quit is located in the Apple menu.
If not, press and hold the power button until the iMac turns off. This is a hard shut down.

HT1414 ipod touch has frozen and wont turn off
my ipod touch has frozen and wont turn off, ive left it so it locks but it wont go that far...what should i do? thanks
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?
How can I turn off computer screen, when mirroring to apple tv?
Thanks.Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't. Mirroring is just what it says, it mirrors exactly what is on your computer screen, if there is nothing on your computer screen, that's what you will see on your TV screen. -
my iphone4 has a broken lock screen button. im struggling to turn it on, when i plug it in it keeps restarting showing the apple sign then turning off again. any ideas how to fix this problem?
That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

Can't turn off computer because mail won't quit
Can't turn off computer because mail interupts shut down. I can force quit, but nothing happens. literally.
I'm also using Apple Mail with a POP account and Exchange as well.
One easy thing to try first is to Rebuild the Mail boxes, choose each Inbox in sequence and go to the Mailbox Menu > Reubild
Do this for the POP account Mailbox and the Exchange in that order. Try quitting Apple Mail and see what happens.
Reading this also led me to do a Google Search on Apple Mail hang on quit. Which led me to this message in the Discussion Group:
From Member: BDAqua
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder. Try trashing this file first, then logout/in... /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist If that doesn't work try the .plists in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/
So what you want to do to first backup your email is this:
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_back_and_restore_mail_lion
Follow the steps 1 & 2 to create backups of the mail boxes.
Then go to the Desktop > Go Menu > (hold down Option Key) choose Library > Preferences > (look for com.apple.mail.plist) drag it to the trash
Logout of your Mac, Log back in. Start Mail see if it hangs on quit
If that fails o to the Desktop > Go Menu > (hold down Option Key) choose Library > Mail > MailData > (there are .plists in here to that could be causing issues). *WARNING: Make sure to have all your account settings written down in advance of trashing these .plists. You want everything written down in case you have type it ALL in again once these .plists are eliminated. -
My iPod nano has suddenly stopped shuffling tunes and just repeats the same track. The shake to shuffle is off - any ideas? Thanks!
It sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for instructions on turning it off.

My iPhone 3GS has frozen. It was going slow all day, and has now completely frozen on the turning off screen. Anyone any ideas? Thanks.
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7? I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English. Thank you.
The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.
