My computer is acting weird.

It is telling me that all sites are untrustworthy and applications are not responding well. Finder is not working and I am not being able to update my software. Please help!
Everytime, I restarting it, it gives me a message saying that your computer clock has reset and therefore some applications will not work.
I am not a very computer knowing person. Please help me.

I dont know the operating system.

HELP! My computer is acting weird...

In what way my computer was acting funny? Well, for one thing it's taken me a month to ask for help because my computer would not respond when I clicked on the button provided by apple to move the screen forward. My computer has been slow, and I mean S***L***O***W, and freezing up at least twice a day, sometimes more. It's not letting me move into secondary screens when I click on the button, I can no longer look at picture galleries because the pics wont advance. Now to me, it sounds like a virus, but then I'm told that apples don't get virus'. Well, there's something wrong with my computer and I don't know how to fix it. I'm not computer savvy. I usually read my e-mail and look things up on the Net and that's it. I never open mail that I don't know who sent it and I rarely , if ever download programs that are not sent by auto update (like I downloaded program so I could print coupons and Post Office labels). Oh, I have been downloading pictures. Could someone have attached something to a pic do you think? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have an IPhone 4, and I wanted to reset it, but couldn't do it via computer because the "find my IPhone" was turned on. So I went to ICloud > Find My IPhone and just erased my phone from there. The was acting weird but I finally got to a black screen with the spinning circle. And it won't advance. I can't just hold the sleep button and home button down because my sleep button is broken! Any help? I have reset my phone before.

My computer has been acting weird lately. Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all angles, does not go into sleep mode sometimes and instead shows on a gray screen definitions of words in 3" letters! Do I have a virus?

Doesn't really sound like a virus.
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
How many of these you can answer...
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

My MacBook was acting weird so I restarted it and when I login a white screen flashes and goes back to the login page. Help?

My MacBook was acting weird like sometimes I would log on and I wouldn't be able to type my password for a couple seconds,but it usually logged in after that. Then I left my computer open after installing the recent update after that all my applications were not responding. So I shut it down, when I turned it back on about an hour later it went to this loading screen and then to the login like usual. After I tried logging in a white screen flashed and it went back to the login/ password screen like nothing happened. Any ideas on what happened and what I can do to fix it?

Reinstall OS X;
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion 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.
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. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU 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 DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion 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.

Losing network connection and NIC acts weird from warm/hot weather/temperatures?

Hello.
Is there a known issue on MSI P43 NEO3-F (MSI-7514) motherboards' onboard RealTek RTL8168C (P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC network disconnecting and acting weird during warm/hot weather?
I noticed lately and back on 1/11/2009 night when weather got warm/hot (e.g., my room can get over 85F degrees, but lately it has been 80F degrees), my network would lose its connection. See http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5580/screenshots.gif for a few SpeedFan's sensor readings when the incidents occurred. I have never seen this happen when the weather is cooler (60-70F degrees in my room).
I also think this only happens if I am using the PC lightly (nothing intensive) like watching fullscreen videos (video overlay), surfing the Web, etc. I don't see any errors or evidences that it happens when idled (e.g., asleep or out). Uptime doesn't seem to matter since I have seen days to 3.5 hours.
I tried upgrading network driver twice (e.g., Realtek_XP_5714_0219 from
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false ...), disabling Kerio Personal Firewall v2.1.5 (XP's disabled already), releasing and renewing IP address (works, but still no network -- can't even ping my router!), unplugging and replugging the cat5 cable (do see the network port lights on), touching the network jack and hardware inside and outside of the case (not hot), trying another cat5 cable and a network port on a switch instead router's), changing from "Minimal Power Management" to full power (no underclocking/slowing down when idled), etc.
During the disconnections, I tried:

I also noticed the disconnections usually start with red X icon in my taskbar with its bubble and then later the long disconnection even though no red X (1 GB and connected). If I were to disconnect the cat5 cable from NIC, then it wouldn't even detect it is missing the cable!
The only way to fix this was to reboot (best way and last longer) OR disable network connection and re-enable it (Windows XP's Network Connections) or the NIC itself (Device Manager), but that doesn't always last long (maybe a minute). Example of my pings right after disabling and re-enabling NIC:

Force your NIC to run at 100Mbps full duplex and see how it goes.
Check your router / switch ports as well as cables.
I will try 100 Mbps if it happens again. So far, it hasn't occurred after installing the driver supplied by MSI's Web site and not RealTek's Web site. The room temperatures even got warmer like 83F degrees.
As for router and switch, what am I checking for? Other computers didn't have any problems. As for cat5 cables, I already tried another one like I said in my original post.

IBook G3 acts weird

Hello, I'm new around here and I would like to ask some questions.
I don't know why, but my iBook starts to act weird lately. When I put it in sleep mode and then reopen it later, it froze. It has been like this for a few days. Then yesterday, when I was doing surfing on the internet, everythign was lagging and then my laptop froze. So I shut it down but when I start it up, it takes a long time before it gets to the desktop and there's some piercing noise all the long.
Can someone tells me what happens to my iBook and how to fix this?
ibook G3 14 inch Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Pendragon:
Welcome to Apple Discussions. Hope you won't be new for long. It is a good place for Mac users to visit.
Your computer probably needs a spot of maintenance. I would begin by booting from the install disk holding down the "C" key. Go to the installer menu and open Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the let panel and First Aid in the main panel. click on Repair Disk. If DU reports errors, Repair again and again until DU reports no errors. If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
The next thing I would do is to run Unix Maintenance (CRON cleaning) using a utility like MacJanitor or Onyx.
Here is a link to Gulliver's article on OS X Maintenance which I have found very helpful: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
Good luck.

Mouse (wired) on OS X Lion acting weird

Hi Guys
Finally I got my OS X Lion back on my computer (even had to buy and install a new internal hard drive), but now my wired Apple mouse start acting weird. I'm getting mad
So I try to setup the mouse via the settings menu etc., but it doesn't react. Only the left click works.
Who knows more?
Thanks guys!

Hi Sanjampet
The wired keyboard works just fine! Only the wired mouse doesn't. Not when I connect it before launching the MBP, not when I connect it while the MBP is already used.
Two days ago it worked fine on snow leopard with the same cable etc. I use right now...
Think I really need to bring my MBP to a shop cause it's freakin' me out!! Two weeks of trouble, although I had my internal hard drive replaced, clean installed etc etc etc.
Thanks
Bob

hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks now.So is my 2 otherfriends. But specificly one of my friends. I think we are being hacked. Is there any ways i could find out who's doing this and or how can we prevent them from hacking us. Thank you.

Hi there!
"Hacking" of a BB would be highly unusual and unexpected -- if ever. After all, POTUS has one, and such would not be allowed if they were hackable. I believe that something else is going on, but lacking specifics, only generic advice can be given.
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.
Best!

Does low disk space make my Macbook Pro act weird?

Hi! I have an early 2011 15" MBP with a 750gb hard disk space. Just the other day, while I was using photoshop with my laptop, the screen went off so I had to reset it. My laptop acted weird after: doing a screen split (the right part goes to the left and vice versa), one time it had weird pixels that were scattered all over, recently, a blue striped screen. All of this froze my laptop by the way. And all of this happened after a few minutes of usage. And I noticed if I use photoshop, it would only take a little amount of time before it would act weird again compared to when I don't. All the times caused me to reset my laptop by holding the power button.
Yesterday, it wouldn't boot past the gray screen after resetting about five times. But after it turned off by itself, I tried turning it on again and it booted normally. And I could use it normally again, but with extra care (using it beside an electric fan, checking the temperature with iStat pro).
I tried the extended Apple Hardware Test but it told me no trouble was found.
Another thing was, everytime my laptop froze and did the weird screen thingy, my laptop was hot.
I tried to use it again yesterday to just surf the web, and after some minutes it was still functioning. But I remember one time I was only surfing the web, it did the split screen and froze after almost an hour or so.
Also, my laptop heats up quickly compared before. And can stand being hot for a long time until now.
I haven't used any heavy applications besides photoshop to test my laptop's weird behavior by the way.
So I guess it's because of the laptop's heat. Because I can only use it for a very short time when using photoshop but I can use my laptop for a longer time when only surfing the web.
I also noticed that if I was forced to reset my laptop and turn it on again, it would boot longer than normal. But if I was able to shut it down properly and turn it on again, it would boot normally.
And, just a while ago, I remembered my laptop's disk space was only 14gb from 750gb (downloaded a lot of series since I bought my laptop). So maybe what's causing the heat was the low disk space. Just a guess. So is it possible that my laptop is behaving weird because of the low disk space?

The problem is back. But this time, it only happened when I used photoshop or played a 1080p video. I was using my laptop for almost 3 hours when i decided to use photoshop. It froze as soon as it started and made my screen display weird pixels. I restarted and tried to open photoshop again and this time, it froze. I did it the third time and after using PS for a minute, it did the split screen. After restarting yet again, I tried to play a 1080p video to just test my laptop. It froze as soon as VLC started. But when i only surf the web (which is the only thing I did before using PS), everything goes well. So I guess it really is the GPU and not the logic board or some other parts. I've decided to just have my laptop checked.

My keyboard on macbook pro (laptop) is acting weird. One key is not responding at all. Have verified using Keyboard viewer and some other keys are printing the unresponsive character at random.

Is it a damaged keyboard ?
The laptop is just 2 months old, will Apple replace it with a new one if its indeed a damaged keyboard or just repair, I use it for official purposes so being without a laptop is not much of an option.

No one here works for Apple, so we don't know what Apple might or might not do. If it's a genuine defect, they will of course repair it under warranty. It is not their responsibility if it effects your ability to work or not, so that's on you.
If, however, they determine that the key is problematic as a result of your misuse of the laptop, then everything is on you. And trust me, if they find a glob of dried up beer or coffee there, they will charge you.
Your only choice is to take it in for repair.

There are a few methods described on this page for how to copy your iTunes content between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
For syncing your devices to that new computer, these two articles might be of use
syncing with a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
recovering content from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
If the photos are those that you've synced to the device from your computer then you will need to copy the directory that they are in on your computer. If they are photos that you've copied from your device to your computer theg you can also either copy their directory, or (if they are still on it) re-copy them from the device onto the new computer (photos to computer).
