My iMac does not shutdown but says I have programs open that need to force quit
My iMac does not shutdown but says I have programs open and that I must force quit and will lose changes.
But nothing is open all are shutdown and I dont know is this a problem with the Mac or the software ?
Is Preview open? Copy/paste the following into Terminal in Utilities and hit return. Look through the output, which may give you a clue as to what is open.
lsof -l +L -R -V | grep /

My IMac does not shutdown through the normal operating procedures. I have to press the reset/shutdown button in the back. Plus it constantly freezes up. I have over 100GB of free space. Total capacity is approx 500GB
Open up Disk Utility, and select Macintosh HD on the left, then click on "Verify Disk" in the bottom right. See if it checks out or not.

The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

I have a similar problem and have had this before.
I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again... -
I cannot install an update on Photoshop 11 because it says I have programs running that must be closed. I have no programs running and I have restarted my computer twice and am unable to install this update. Also, I need the update because the tutorial for 11 shows a completely different screen than I have on my version of 11. Please advise.
Garbage which operating system are you using? Have you tried using the Task Manager/Activity Monitor to close the offending application/process?

This morning, I wanted to listen to some music on my iMac via my earphones but the computer, did not get any more my earphones. Indeed, when I puts the sound, this one takes out outer loudspeakers and not my earphones. They are not posted in the preferences sound. I tried earphones on my mp3, they worked.
You can help me to repair my grip jack. If they pleases you
Sorry if you do not understand very well, I am French.
Thank you!It sounds like the headphone jack on your iMac is having problems. One solution you might try is to insert and remove the earphones' jack several times. Sometimes this clears it up.
If that doesn't work, you will probably need to have the iMac repaired. Is it under warranty or AppleCare? If so it should be covered at no charge. Contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page. Alternatively carry the iMac in to an Apple retail store or service provider. If you are outside of warranty they can give you an estimate for the cost.
Best of luck. -
I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple. The pc also does not recognise the iPhone. The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old. Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks
You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone. You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.

Use Firefox. Have BBC iPlayer which will not load, saying I need a newer version of Adobe Air: when trying to instal Adobe Air, get message saying I already have a more recent version. It worked when I was using IE, but not since changing to Firefox.
Hi there,
stumbled on this conversation after having problems myself.
After lots of trial and error, I was finally able to install iPlayer on my MacBook Pro.
Firstly remove Adobe Air (Applications, Utilities, Adobe Air Uninstaller).
Reboot (not sure if it is needed but it is what I did).
Download Adobe Air 2.5 from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/853/cpsid_85304.html
Then retry installing iPlayer from the BBC webpage. I ignored the prompt from Adobe Air to upgrade to the latest version (3.1). -
My imac does not turn off ! Since i bought the imac ( february ) i had this issue
I have called aplle support and During 2 months nothing changed ! I rebbot, i cleaned the cache i mean this
Is the way apple slove issue. ? My imac does not turn off ! I have to turn it off by myself ! ( hold the power button )
Everytime !

It was before i install these apps.
I would like some help ! And suggestions. I will return my imac and hope to have the new one because
Since i bought i can not enjoy the Apple product.
Thank youHave you done the safe boot mentioned above?
Can you click on the apple on the left of the menu bar? Did you try Paul_31's advice to choose force quit to see if there are any applications that are not responding?
I tend to agree that it may be time to take it to an Apple service center for hands-on attention.
Apple normally doesn't replace a machine with a new one unless they have been unable to repair an issues(s) after several tries. -
My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!
For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.) -
OS 10.6.8 on documents created by Pages 3 will not open
They want a Version 4 while my iMac does not install because it needs 4 Pages 10.7. But I can not install 10.7 because my iMac is not Core2 duo ... Funny dilemma!!You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address. -
My disc drive on my imac does not appear to be working. It takes the disc in but then spits it out without reading it. I have thought about purchasing an external disc drive, can someone advise me please?
Try the following:
In Finder, select the problematic volume and then press command-I.
Expand the Sharing & permissions section if it's collapsed.
If the section is locked, then unlock it by pressing the padlock button and then authenticating as directed.
Tick/check Ignore ownership on this volume. -
IMac does not see my external HD...but my MacBook Air does
I have a Toshiba 1TB HD that I partitioned into iMac and PC. I run my backup on it with no problems. Then I got a Time Capsule and set it up. Now my iMac does not see my HD any more. But my Mac Book Air picks it up. You can see the 2 partitions on the MBA. I also cant see it in my Disk Utilities and "Mount" is not clickable. I tried to use different USB ports as well as different USB cables.
What to do if your computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device...
If the issue persists, try these steps:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
