My battery died while I was powering down my computer. Now I can't login. Please help?!

Hi,
I was in the process of powering down my computer when the battery ran out of power. Now after I have typed my password to login and pressed Return nothing happens. I can move the mouse but everything else freezes up and I can't click on anything. The only thing I can do is to manually power it down with the power-button. I am using Time Machine and therefore I re-installed a copy that was one week old but the same problem still exists.
What do I do now?
I have the first version of Macbook with the aluminum body.
Thanks for the help!

I am not sure how you re-installed from Time Machine, if you can't click on anything? Anyway, with the power chord connected (since the battery is flat), try an SMC reset as described in the link.

If this doesn't improve the situation, I would suggest holding the Option key during a restart and selecting the Recovery partition, from where you can verify the disk and repair permissions and ultimately to do a re-instal of Lion if necessary.

My Macbook died while I was using it, and after restarting I can no longer open FireFox. Now when I try to open it, it hangs. Uninstalling/reinstalling don't work, opening it in safe mode makes no difference. How do I fix this?

FF bounces, then immediately freezes up. Must force quit. Never had any problems before.

By the way, when I hit the first URL in your post, I get a warning that the certificate is only valid for '''www.'''vitalityforlife'''.'''com. If I add www into the URL, it loads normally.

Naturally I can't actually log in, but does that make any difference for you?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies --before trying to log in. View a page on the site, and then use either of these:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Battery died while installing Mavericks. Installation corrupted. Wont boot or resume install.

Greetings,
A friend just called in a panic. He updated to Mavericks without plugging his MBP in. The battery died while updating and the computer won't boot into OS. It boots back into the installer but won't continue. Disk utility cant repair it. Any idea of how to help him? (he has no backup)
I may have him ship it to me, if it mounts on desktop I'll clone it, reinstal Mavericks, migrate his data.
What generally gets corrupted when a Mavericks installation is abruptly cut short?
Is there anything else to have him try before he ships it?

If his Mac is capable of it, I'd try Internet Recovery.

I'm afraid your work is gone. The work you do to PDFs is saved when exiting your application, so if you didn't save your document, your work is gone. Sorry .

A pages document was shut down and not saved where can I still find this document

Need help finding a pages document that was typed up and then the computer was shut down and We are not sure if it had been saved. Can we locate this document if it was never saved and how do we do that? Please Help!!!

If the battery is dead the only way to find it is to physically look for it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

There is a message pop up on my screen saying 'this accessory is not optimized for this iPhone' and underneith 'you may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength' and under that only one option to press which says dismiss.

Message "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now"

I am in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro. I get repeated message upon start-up "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Restarting does not stop the message. Nor does canceling it. It keeps occuring, blocking my ability to do applications. Because it comes to the front all the time, and the "shutdown" button is lit, if I inadvertently hit a return key while typing something else, the computer shuts down. I have a western digital backup disk-dismounting that has no effect. I have also run the disk utility permissions repair a few times to no avail.
Thanks for any advice.

This might happen if your power button is malfunctioning. Remember a slight tap of the power button will bring up that screen. Bring it in for service if it is readily reproducible.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Catastrophic licensing failure ... Creative suite shuts down ... now I can't reinstall it ... HELP!!
I was in the middle of a project, not terribly time-sensitive ... YET ... but this is the strangest, most frustrating problem I have encountered with Creative Suite yet.

Did anybody reply to your post?
I am also having a "Upgrade Check" licensing issue going from
Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium to Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium.
Wish we could contact an actual Adobe Technician.
Oh well

It sounds like you need a new battery. Does it show any charge left when you unplug AC?
