My mac is completely blocked

Heelp. My mac died. Even the clock has stopped. It doesnt react anymore. What to do ?

...Even the clock has stopped.
This suggests that you can see what's on the display but can't do anything. If so, hold the power button for about 10 seconds to force quit the computer. Then press it to restart the computer.

My mac is completely blocked because of a pop up that doesn't let me open any app or safari's page. What do i have to do?!?!

I was on the internet playing a game them suddenly a pop up page came on and i pressed the "x" at the top to exit (like i always do) than the page askes me "are you sure you want to leave this page?" The text after this is so long that i can't say "leave this page" i tried to open other apps or pages but it tells me that i have to leave this page. I have no idea what to do. I can't even turn off the computer because it tells me that before i have to leave the safari... Please help!!!

There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

Richard,
You have multiple threads on the same issue. Please don't. This results in users responding to the same issue on multiple threads, which I have done without realizing it.

Firefox in my Mac is suddenly taking a long time to activate, my Mac seems to block as if it was a PC

Firefox in my Mac is suddenly taking a long time to activate, my Mac seems to block as if it were a PC

It may be some dodgy settings or plugins causing that, I would say job one is to check out your extensions, as these can cause all sorts of issues. First, disable them all temporarily and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, turn them back on in turn and see if one in particular is causing the issue. If you find one, ditch it!
If the app is still slow, I would recommend backing up all your bookmarks, and then dumping any settings associated with the app. If you don't feel comfortable doing this manually, you may want to use a tool like Appcleaner to uninstall all of the application's files, and then reinstall a fresh copy from firefox.com.
Hope that helps!

Is it possible to add a dozen or more host files to completly block Yahoo or MS Bing and keep it off the search engine.

I do not want Bing in my computer.
I get angry and uninstall the new firefox because i can not keep bing at bay. Every time I go back and install Firefox because I do not like Opera I have Microsoft's Bing invading my system as yahoo search or bing.
I want to know what are the host files I need to enter, so I can completely block this search engine virus that keeps invading my system.

For the record: Yahoo search is Microsoft Bing, with a different name.
Yahoo search was a great search engine in the past, that knowledge was given to Microsoft to improve Bing, and Yahoo signed an financial agreement with Microsoft to use Bing.
I can remove Bing, but it always returns in 6 hours, or in several days. It has the qualities of malware, in that it keeps reappearing. There is no method I can find of keeping Bing search off my system, other than to not install Firefox.

When i want to sign in on itunes it says that my mac id is blocked? But it is only on itunes. Email etc works well!

When i want to sign in on itunes it say that my MAC-ID is blocked, but my email etc. works fine and do accept my password and username. What can I do?

Where was the iPhone purchased?
Did you open the packaging and activate the iPhone or was this done at the store where it was purchased?
Was the iPhone activated by connecting the iPhone to a computer at the store or elsewhere?
Has anyone else used your iPhone or has it been connected to a computer besides your own?
You sign out of an existing Apple ID by going to Settings > iTunes & App Stores. Select the Apple ID at the top and select Sign Out. Sign in with your Apple ID at the same location.

HOW TO COMPLETELY BLOCK TEAMVIEWER CONNECTION

I use ASA Firewalls within my organization, i need help on how we can completely block teamviewer connections in and out of my organizations network.
thank you

Hello Salawu,
There has been a lot of discussions about these and what I can tell you from that is Team-Viewer is an application that is really difficult to block as it jumps from port to port to be able to reach their servers to the point they can use Port TCP/80 and I am quite sure you do not want to block that.
Some people have talked about instead of filtering the traffic to their IPs (as there are many many) to use DNS inspection with regex and then block their domain instead.
Note: Check this post for that
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11536791/block-teamviwer-cisco-asa-5520-82
I have even seen that it can jump to port TCP/443 (HTTPS) where the traffic goes encrypted so the firewall will not be able to filter this as the traffic will not go in clear text.
The only way You could make this happen is if you have a Next-Generation Firewall and you implement the CX module to be Fully Application Aware and filter the Team-Viewer application (You might even enable SSL Decryption in case it uses port 443).
I hope this answer helps you and remember to rate my answers :)

Blackberry not responding - completely blocked

Hi,
My Blackberry (bought last January) has completely blocked itself during a phone call (speaker went on and call couldn't be ended). Since then, it works not at all. I tried to reset the phone and also to update the software. Then it worked for a couple of days and then again it blocked itself during messaging. The keyboard is not reacting (as if it is on unlock), if I restart the BB, I cannot even enter the password although the screen seems to be intact (screen appears only visible when I take it out of the leather case).
HEEELP!

ok. It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out.
It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
3. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
*Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

HT201210 iPad is completely blocked

My iPad is completely blocked. Error message "iCloud Backup" as iPad hasn't been updated for 4 weeks. I cannot update it as screen is blocked and I therefore cannot change setting from Airplane Mode. I cannot even reboot as iPad doesn't respond to slide to power off.
Thank you for your help!

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mac Pro RAID block size recommendations for working with audio in Logic Pro

I have recently ordered a Mac Pro and plan to do a RAID configuration across 3 HDD's
The RAID type i am going to do is a RAID 0 striped.
The computer is going to be used primarily for audio post production and working with 20+ 24-Bit audio files at any one time within a Logic project.
I want to know what is the best block size i should use when configuring the RAID.
I understand that using a higher block size is best for working with large files but do i need to do this in my case or will the default 32k block size be enough?
Thanks in advance

Use 64k. Things like databases like having 32k blocks because of all the small files. Audio files are pretty small even at 24-bit 192KHz. Go to 128k if all you are doing is streaming and no samples. But 20+ 24-bit is really not too large anyway considering most modern HDD's can stream 100MB/s off one spindle. You'll probably be fine regardless of the block size you choose. But most audio pro's choose 64k.

Newbie Mac user: Selecting block of text via the keyboard only?

Hi,
I'm switching over to a Mac from a PC and haven't been able to find an answer to this question. How do I select a block of text only by using the keyboard?
As an example, on the PC from wherever the cursor is in a document, if I then hit Ctrl-Shift-end, the entire rest of the document from the cursor down is selected. Another similar task would be to select all of the text from the cursor to the end of the line, which on the PC can be done with Shift-end.
Are there Mac equivalents?
Thanks.
Les
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

COMMAND-SHIFT-end to select from the cursor to the end of the line. COMMAND-SHIFT-pagedown selects from cursor to end of document, use pageup to select entire document.
Other alternatives:
Press SHIFT and use the right arrow key to select characters. Use OPTION-SHIFT and right arrow to select words. COMMAND-right arrow key moves cursor to end of line and OPTION-right arrow moves cursor to next word.
See also: Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts.
In many instances wherever Windows uses CTRL in a shortcut the Mac uses COMMAND (Apple Key - ⌘)

Safari causes my Mac to completely freeze and Pinwheel.

Hello all,
I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1. I've been using a Mac for over 7+ years and this is the first time I ran into a problem like this. While browsing Safari (V 7.0.1) my MacBook Pro froze and pinwheeled to the point where I could not force quit Safari by right clicking the icon or pressing "option-command-esc". I force restarted and booted my Mac up again. My computer tried to relaunch the same windows again and the same exact thing happened. I then re-booted in Safe mode but this time somethign VERY strange happened. When launching Safari, it looked like the page was constantly refreshing. I have ran Disk Utility (repairing permissions), restarted Safari, Booted in Safe Mode, removed all extensions but whenever I try to use Safari my whole Mac freezes up. This doesn't happen when I use Firefox. I'm at a complete loss to what is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

Quit the application. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data

Logitech Quickcam Vision MP for Mac not completely working

Hi,
I got a Logitech Quickcam Vision Mp for Mac from an Apple store, but it's not completely working.
It works fine for iChat and Skype. However i doesn't work at all for iMovie, it says there is no camera atached, and it kind of works for Photo Booth. The problem is that I also have an EyeTv Hybrid, and
when it is connected, Photo Booth doesn't recognize my web cam at all. I get a black screen. If
the EyeTv Hybrid is not connected, then Photo Booth recognizes the web cam, but if I try to record
I only get video and no sound. Any suggestions? Is there a web cam that works for all the applications: iMovie, iChat, Photo Booth? If I got one of those old external iSight cameras that Apple doesn't sell anymore, would it work with my new intel Mac running Leopard?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I just purchased and connected my camera, also from the Apple store, and it works just find with Photo Booth and iChat. As for the sound issue, make sure that you've selected the "Logitech Camera" selection from within the Sound option under System Preference. Click the Input button to make your selection. I hope this resolved your issue.
Good luck!!!
