My ical won't stop upgrading, I can't shut down my macbook

when I click ical, it just started to upgrade by itself and it wont stop upgrading, and I cant quit the app neither shut down the macbook.

Jen,
First of all from the  Menu select "Force Quit..." and choose iCal.
Then try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find the Preferences folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

I can't shut down my MacBook Pro. I'm getting the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?

I can't shut down my MacBook Pro. Each time I try, I get the following message: "The Finder can't quit because some operations are still in progress." How can I determine what is running?

Yea,
I bought an original CRT iMac two day's before they were launched, which got the reseller into trouble, and had it replaced by APPLE.
This was a great learning process for me dealing with the glitches. :-)
I LOVE MAC. Now own 4 and on my 10th. in 15 years + 7 bought for family.
Cheers,

Can I shut down my Macbook during the setup screen

Can I shut down my Macbook May 2010 during the setup screen (The Snow Lepoard SetUp Screen)
Because I don't want to set it up due to selling it.
Thanks

Of course. If you didn't set up the MacBook Pro yet, simply hold the Power button to turn it off and sell the MacBook Pro. Remember to give the DVDs that came with your MacBook to the new owner. Tell the new owner to install iLife from the Applications disc

Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

Mail won't close, can't shut down my MacBook Pro

Dear Apple Community,
since 10.7.4 Mail won't close sometimes. I use mail sometimes in Full-Screen, sometimes in the standard mode. If I'm finished with Mail, I close mail using "cmd+w" & "cmd+Q" or "cmd+Q". The programm is closed (window is gone), but the little blue bubble stays under the Mail icon at the dock. If I want to shut down my MacBook Pro (early 2011) I get the message "Can't shut down. You have to end Mail."
This *****. Any suggestions for a fix?

I had this issue and got frustrated having to force quit all the time.
I usually quit all programs with shortcut keys.
MAIL now quits everytime if I just click Mail-Quit Mail
Don't use shortcuts to quit it and it will be fine

ICal won't stop upgrading

I recently purchased an ipad and wanted to sync my ical on my macbook pro. After turning on icloud on my macbook my ical has the message "upgrading ical calendars". No matter what I do I can't get the popup to go away and I can't use ical. I can't force quit ical because it will just restart itself. I manually restarted my macbook and ical still has the message "upgrading ical calendars". This has been going on for hours. Please please help!!! I manage my whole life through ical!

I had the same issue with my brand new Iphone and my Macbook Pro ICal. In short, after hours on the phone and at the Genius Bar, my calendar is back on the computer (thanks to a lucky back up I had), partially on the Cloud (Choosing to ignore all my Blue dates while copying three other colors) and nowhere to be found on the phone.
I've tried turning off all cloud computing and syncing through ITunes. It says it's syncing, but it does not.
I've tried turning all Cloud computing on and letting it sync that way. Nothing has changed.
I wish I could tell you how we finally got the "upgrading" message to stop, but I don't recall what folder the Phone Support took me into or what file we ultimately had to trash. I do recall it was going to erase whatever was left in my calendar.
In short, I've learned that IOS is not interested in interacting with OSX Lion. And beware the OSX Mavericks upgrade, because that disables most of the few remaining conveniences that do exist between the two.
At this point, I have one more week to either keep or return the IPhone and if I don't get this thing
solved by Monday.... It's back to Android for me. Hard to believe my HTC Evo did a better job or relating to my Macbook Pro than Apple's own phone.

I can't shut down my macbook air.

The problem starts when suddenly I can't move my cursor using my track pad. It happens that I'm not able to use my keyboard too. I tried to use a mouse to move the cursor and it works. Then I tried to shut it down by clicking the apple icon with my mouse, the screen went black for a moment then the computer automatically turns on again. I tried it several times and I still can't shut it down.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me
PS my macbook is running on os lion

Press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds to force shutdown.
Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, contact Apple.
Best.

Why is it that after using I-Tunes then closing it I can't shut down my MacBook Pro

If I open I-Tunes then close it the next time I go to shut down my MacBook Pro it just sits there with a gray screen and a spinging wheel all night It does'nt do that with any other app's

Weird. If this were happening to me, I would check/reset the Energy Saver preferences having to do with startup scheduling and or automatic restart. I would also consider deleting associated preference files in /Library/Preferences. I would also try resetting the System Management Controller and/or resetting NVRAM and PRAM.

Can't shut down my macbook pro?

Everytime I try to shut down my macbook, it just restarts itself. If I hold down the power button it will shut down but I don't think this is right, anyone got any suggestions/similar experience?

ICloud won't stop upgrading

after an iOS update to 8.1.2 on my iPad mini and iphone 4s iCloud drive won't stop upgrading. I have tried everything on the support forums and what Apple suggested to do. icloud won't accept my password on my devices but will on pc and it will work on iTunes, face time and App Store. This has been going on for approx two weeks and is getting rather frustrating. Has any one else had the same problem and if so have you been able to rectify it???

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

HT201656 Email is unusable as it keeps trying to load emails and won't stop. What can I do?

Email is unusable as it keeps trying to load emails and won't stop. What can I do?

Try closing the mail app completely and reboot your iPad. Assuming that you are running iOS 7 .....
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My macbook won't shut down. Had MacDefender and followed all instructions for removal but still get told can't shut down cause their processes are running. Any suggestions?

I followed all directions and quit all processes, emptied trash etc. When I try to shut down I get pop-ups telling me apps are running even though I quit them. I can't install upgrades because I can't shut down. Doing a hard reboot doesn't help at all. Any suggestions?

If any of the apps won't quit on you in future, try ti kill them in Terminal:
killall Finder
then hit enter
If you don't know the official app name (how OS SX sees it), go to COMMAND_OPTION_ESCAPE and see the official name in the running app list.
The power button method above works 100%, but will bypass saving of session states for all services, so your OS X could be unstable after reboot and won't remember some settings you had prior to shuting down. Use it only as a last resort.
