My Mac Book's Safari is locked down

I clicked on a bad link on my mac book’s safari and a message pops up that says "Due To Trojan Virus Your Computer Windows Files Got corrupt,Error Code: Win32xepcj. Call System Administrator at: 1-800-786-0949." The message will not go away and I cannot access anything on safari even with restarting the computer. How do I get rid of the message and have access to safari again? Any help is appreciated.

Hello, ousooner1011.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to use Safari due to this message that is meant specifically for a Windows machine. I would recommend opening Safari and clearing all Safari data via the steps in the article below.

Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

Hi Monroeeugene,
I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
Mac Basics: Set your preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
Change your Mac's sleep settings
To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
Open System Preferences
Choose View > Energy Saver.
Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
Hope this helps ...

Mac book pro mid 2009 shuts down after a few hour of use and then is very difficult to reboot. Sometimes I have to wait hours, sometimes I have to repeatedly press the power button and then it will slowly start a little longer each press untill it completely boots. It has done this three times know. Each time I was watching a video.

Try running the Apple Hardware Test - sounds as if you've hardware issues.

Hey HJA96,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your MacBook Pro is booting to a gray screen. The following article addresses this symptom, and provides relevant troubleshooting information:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Some of the steps included:
- Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
- Perform a Safe Boot
- Reset the NVRAM / PRAM
- Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility
- Check your cables and power source
- Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware
- Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X
- Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort
(See article for full information on all of the above)
Thanks,

I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

My mac book pro will not shot down or restart.

mac book pro 13 2011 dec. mac os x 10.7.4. my mac book pro will not shot down or restart, my mac is to slow to much loading. . when i open some apps loading when i will restart my mac book pro
loading. i can't restart the same problem when i wil shut down my mac. need help

Mackeeper has been known to cause more problems than fix, all the posts here say don't use it and offer instuctions on how to remove it, which is not as easy as just dragging it to the trash.
I am willing to guess that some of the third party software could be the issue.
Try a safe boot:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Starting up in “safe mode” may help you diagnose problems you’re having with your Mac.
Note: To print these instructions, open the Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choose Print.
Shut down your Mac and wait 10 seconds.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key.You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator (spinning gear).
To leave safe mode, restart the computer normally without holding down any keys during startup.
If you still have problems I would take it to Apple, there seems to be something strange going on here.
You search remove mackeeper on this forum, and get rid of it.

Hi ohmghimire,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're seeing unexpected behavior when using USB devices, try resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the article with these steps here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If you still see this behavior after resetting the SMC, or your computer won't turn on, try the steps in this article next:

Mac Book Pro Wifi Data Locked up/freezes.

Hello, i have had this problem now for about 3 months. I have tried to search for the issue but i may be missing some key terms so if this is a known topic or somone can provide a link to a solution i would love it.
So i primarly use my MBP on wifi in the home, i have an ipad on wifi, pc laptop on wifi and a hardwired TV. Sometimes while on the computer all of a sudden i will stop getting data from the internet, usualy i notice because a webpage loads about half way or does not load at all then i get the thinking wheel in the web browser. If i turn off the wifi card, wait about 15 seconds then turn it back on it always comes right back on and away i go.
For some details It is a Mac Book Pro 8,2 16gig ram, OS10.6.8 all security and software is up to date. I recently put a new hard drive in the machine and use the migration assistant to transfer everything across from the old one but with a fresh install of the OS. The problem existed before and after the HDD swap. I use Chrome as the primary browser, but it is not application spesfic, mail and safari both loose the network data as well. I do not have a lot of large downloads, 90% of my network use is e-mail, and web no bit torrents or streaming on this computer. Finaly to see if it was the router while the laptop is locked up the other devices on wifi and hard lined all still work fine. Also according to the laptop i still have 100% wireless strength and connection, i dont have any other wifi networks so i can not try to switch to another one, the only fix i have found is to click "turn airport off" wait a second, then back on. Also time does not seem to be a part of it, i can have the machine running all day for several days no issues, then it goes down, or i just open it up and in an hr it locks.
To me i hate to hear that it is a bad network card in the computer, but if anyone knows if there is maybe a setting or somthing i can reset on the network card that may be setting me up on a "timed lease" of my ip address, thanks for the help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Boot from your original install DVD and run Repair Disc and Repair Permissions, this might then allow you to Boot as normal and have all your data intact.
If not then you need to re-install the OS from that same DVD but select 'Archive Install' and it will preserve your User data and Applications.

New mac book pro, Safari a zombie process on launch?

My previous Mac book died, and I purchased a new one last week.
I started the restore of my data, which, mistakenly, included the Library directory in my User directory.
Now Safari will not launch, it starts up as Process not responding according to Activity Monitor.
I've tried deleting the .plist files as suggested by similar, older posts about such events, and looked for Caches, Metadata, and plug-ins which might be at fault, but to no avail.
I'm running OS X 10.8.2 with Safari 6.0.2 according to info on it from the apps directory.
It of course opens fine for other users on the same Mac. I've tried copying over the Library/Safari directory from a working account contents into my directory. Still no joy.
I'm stumped on how to remedy this. Short of creating a new account and moving all my data to it, is there anything else I should try?
Thanks for your time.

Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Safari if it’s running. Then select
 ▹ Force Quit…
from the menu bar. A small window will open with a list of running applications. Safari may appear in that list, even though you quit it. If so, select it and press return. Close the window.
Step 1
In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the Safari icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder.
If Adobe Flash Player is installed, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Delete the following items from the Library folder (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Safari
Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess
Caches/Metadata/Safari
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginHost.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.Safari.savedState
Leave the Library folder open. Try Safari again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder. If you still have problems, continue.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
rm -fr $TMPDIR../C/com.apple.Safari
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Quit Safari again. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal. Launch Safari and test.
Step 3
If Safari still doesn’t work right, quit, go back to the Finder and move the following items from the open Library folder to the Desktop (some may not exist):
Cookies/Cookies.binarycookies
Internet Plug-Ins
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist
Preferences/com.apple.WebFoundation.plist
PubSub/Database
Safari
(Note: you are not moving the Safari application. You’re moving a folder named “Safari.”)
Try again. This time Safari should perform normally, but your settings and bookmarks will be lost. The default set of bookmarks will be restored. Delete them all.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Safari again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were, overwriting the newer ones that may have been created in their place. You don’t need to replace the files you deleted in step 1. Stop here and post again.
If Safari is now working normally (apart from the lost settings), look inside the “Safari” folder on the Desktop for a file named “Bookmarks.plist”. Select
File ▹ Import Bookmarks
from the Safari menu bar. Import from that file. Recreate the rest of your Safari settings. You can then delete the items you moved to the Desktop.
Note: This step will remove your Safari Extensions, if any, and their settings. If you choose to restore them, do so one at a time, testing after each step to make sure you haven’t restored the problem.
If you don’t like the results of step 3, you can undo it completely by quitting Safari and restoring the items you moved or deleted in that step from your backup, overwriting any that were created in their place.

Mac book pro rebooting then shutting down

Everytime I turn my MAC book pro 13 inch laptop on, it takes me to the white screen with the grey apple logo and then starts to reboot. I'm not entirely sure of it's rebooting but something is loading and the background colour is white if that helps.
Once it's about a quarter of the way through loading it starts showing a loading sign and the bar that's only a quarter of the way filled disappears. Then the screen turns black and it shuts down. Every time I turn my laptop on this happens. Please help.

Megan.west,
if you have Mac OS X 10.7 or newer installed, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, select the First Aid tab if it’s not already selected, then press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the white screen and progress bar now?

My white mac book asked me to shut down and now it starts, plays the opening them tune and then has a light blue light... won't go any further. Help!

My Mac asked me to shut down unexepectedly yesterday and when it restarted, once it played the opening theme it gets stuck on a light blue screen. There is a slight noise from the back right hand corner, where the disc drive is. I cannot remember if there is a disc in ther... possibly. It is the old white Mac Book. Desperately hoping she hasn't gone to computer heaven!

Latest update, if it's left running for 5 mins or so, a grey question marks appears, flashes for a couple of mins and then it turns itself off.
