My new imac has stopped working!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!

I turned my imac on this evening to find that after the grey apple screen, the 'Loading Mac OSX' screen comes on and then goes off and a black screen comes up.
On this black screen it says:
Login Apr 22 ntpd[148]
Can't open /var/run/ntpd.pid input/output error
Please help me, i don't know whats wrong and what to do to fix it. I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off. When i turned it back on - still the same thing.
I have only had my imac for about 4 days... don't want to have to take it back already... just as i have finished copying all my files.
Thanks for any help in advance

Hello! At this point the first thing to try is to boot from the install cd/dvd. With the disk inserted hold down the "c" key at startup. Once booted run diskutility repair disk. You'll have to navigate within the installer window. If you can't get the tray open hold down the bouse button and turn it off and back on to open the tray. Tom

Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal

Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal & external microphones. Any suggestions?

Does the onscreen microphone come up but it doesn't convert speech to text? Or does the onscreen microphone not appear at all?
In System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation, is the microphone set to "Automatic"? You might try setting it to "Internal microphone" to see if it works.
Have you tried restarting the iMac?

My keyboard has stopped working - please help!

Hello.
For some reason, the keyboard on my Satellite 1000 series notebook has stopped working (I think someone may have spilled some liquid on it...). Device manager shows 'easy internet keyboard' and 'logitech HID-compliant keyboard' (one of which relates to a USB keyboard i have been forced to buy).
Any chance anyone knows what's happening and how I can get my keyboard working again? Maybe something to do with reinstalling drivers??

Hi Adam
If someone has spilled some liquid there must be hardware malfunction and I assume that keyboard is defect now. Try to contact service partner and pick up some information how much the new keyboard costs. You can also a Google a little bit around and find which keyboard fit to your notebook model.
In my opinion you can exchange it alone.

Printing subsystem has stopped working - please help

I have had my imac for 4 months and now priniting has stopped.
I have a canon 4300 for prints and an HP office 6200 for B&W everyday stuff. The canon is directly attached via usb and the 6200 is attached to my new AEBS. i can configure my canon just fine using print and fax utility however it finds the HP via bonjour automatically but when i push ADD it gives an "error trying to add the selected printer" and the error says "successful-ok-conflicting-attributes."?
I also seems to find the same 6200 printer as a shared printer and will config and add it ok but somehow i dont think thats correct.
When i try to print to the canon i get an error from any application - some say not enough memory - I have 2GB. Same thing happens when i try and print to the HP. THe strange thing is that I can use the maintenance utiliies to get to the canon and it runs them so the connection is ok something with the print subsystem.

Plot thickens, I can print to these printers just fine from my wireless attached macbook pro! Interesting it sees the HP as Bonjour and the Canon as direct attached - it does see the extra HP "shared". This seems to be isolating it to the imac and not the printers or connections. Please help this is tough,

My Refine Edge in Photoshop CS6 has STOPPED WORKING, please help!

Photoshop CS6
Windows 8.1
I have been using refine edge with no problem for months.
everything worked great!
I was able to extract out hair and edges very, very, very well...
but about 2 weeks ago...something changed... the refine edge brush no longer works.
When I click on Refine Edge... instead of a brush icon, I get the CIRCLE with a SLASH and my system keeps dinging because the tool is just not available.
I deleted my preferences...but it is still a problem
NOW... when I adjust the sliders, i don't see a preview of the adjustments...
Please help!!!!

no difference.
i have tried to check and uncheck everything...
if i adjust the sliders, i get NO Preview... but when i click OK, the resulting photo has been completely ruined by the tool...
I tried deleting preferences...no change
the weird thing is that this problem was very sudden. Just a few weeks ago, I was using refine edge with NO PROBLEM. it is my GO TO tool for extracting people out of pictures...
but then one day, it just stopped working...
Do i need to reinstall CS6???

My Touchpad Has Stopped Working, Please Help

My touchpad has locked itself. I can't click even with the buttons that are below the touchpad, it doesn't scroll or move, it won't do anything whatsoever. It has done this before, but usually it just works itself out on its own after a few minutes of leaving it alone. But not this time, this time it's been like this for a few days already. I tried to do the F2/F9/F10 solution that was talked about in one of the topics I read, but...pressing F2 doesn't do anything on the splash screen for me, let alone be able to do the other stuff that was mentioned. System Restore also hasn't done anything. I have a wireless mouse for the time being, but I'd rather have my touchpad back if possible because...being a wireless mouse...it basically eats batteries like they're candy...so to speak. >.> So, here's my model's info, I hope you guys can help me with it. Toshiba Satellite C55-A5354Part NO. PSCF6U-04T00CWindows 8.1 64-Bit If more info is needed, let me know and I'll try to find it.

I have turned off auto update, I'm not sure where to go to uninstall an update though, I can turn it off but not uninstall, lol. But the last update was a couple of weeks ago and my mouse has been fine up until like three days ago, so I don't think an update caused it. I uninstalled the driver and let it automatically reinstall twice now, but nothing. Just in case it's helpful, here's the driver info too.

Quicktime has stopped working - please help

Hi,
I've been using the quicktime that comes with the machine (haven't purchased the upgrade). A little while ago I downloaded a few add ons for quicktime from apple's quicktime components page (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html) because I thought they would help me play some obscure file types (they didn't).
In any event, I don't know if it's related, be since then I'm getting a lot of blank screens on websites with just the Q symbol and a question mark. For instance, I can't play anything on youtube. Where the video should be is just that Q symbol and the question mark. I seem to have no problem playing things like the mac vs pc commercials on apple.com.
I'm willing to put my quicktime back to the way it was if that would fix this, but I don't know how to do that.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

YouTube videos are nearly all Flash media and to view them you must install Flash Player (free) and its browser plug-in.
You may also need to "turn off" the QuickTime browser plug-in from trying to play Flash media.
Sys Prefs/QuickTime/Advanced/MIME Settings button
Remove the check mark (Miscellaneous) for Flash Media.
Quit and relaunch any open browser and try the pages again.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

HT2452 my imac keyboard has stopped working? help!!!

my imac keyboard has stopped working??? help!!!!!

My keyboard just stopped working out of the clear. One minuet OK next it was dead. No little green light at all. New batteries did not help.
FIXED THE PROBLEM! I took a small piece of aluminum, made a little ball out of it and dropped it down the tube where the batteries go. Replaced the batteries I had just used......little green light comes on and the the keyboard functions like always.
My guess is after a few years the contacts oxidize a bit and don't make contact with the batteries on the bottom of the tube. Give it a try.

'Attach photo' to emails and messages has stopped working.
The function is grayed out. Help?
— Relatively new iPhone 6+ with latest system ...
If on a mac, I'd be running a disk utility or looking to overwrite an app, or re-install the system.
Although over 25 years on Macs, this is my first iPhone... and I'm missing a few (probably) subtle things to do to resurrect this function.
Help?
Thanks

Hi CartoonBob,
If you are having issues with being unable to attach a photo from Mail on your iPhone, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Safari has stopped working! HELP!

Ok so I have been using safari for over a year now on my windows 7 hp pc. Recently however safari has "stopped working". When i open safari i get an error message stating "safari has stopped working" and then under that is a green loading bar stating "windows is checking for a solution." When i wait for a solution nothing happens and safari just shuts down. Ive tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling it but the same problem occurs.

Please help im using internet explorer right now and i hate is so much...i miss safari

Recently however safari has "stopped working". When i open safari i get an error message stating "safari has stopped working" and then under that is a green loading bar stating "windows is checking for a solution."
Fingers crossed, your Windows 7 will have been recording some additional information about those.
First, open your Action Center and expand "Maintenance". Click "View reliability history":
Once the reliability report has been generated, look for Critical events for Safari generated at the time of the "Safari has stopped working" messages. Doubleclick the name Safari in the critical events. (Don't click View solution.) Here's a screenshot showing what to doubleclick:
You should see something that looks like the following screenshot:

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working. Help!

The "enter" key on the numeric keypad of my external mac keyboard has stopped working with my Macbook pro. If I plug the keyboard into any other computer, that entier key works fine. I'm using a standard Mac wired keyboard, & it's worked fine for 2 years now. Help!
This is the keyboard I am using: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB110LL/B/apple-keyboard-with-numeric-keypad
Not sure what I might have accidentily done to disable the enter key. (The normal enter key works fine, just the one on the numeric keypad.)
Thank you for your help.

Hi there,
Do you have any resolution to this problem in the end? Because it happened to me an exact same thing.
Please share if you have found a solution to your problem. I also cannot think of what I did wrong to disable the Enter key.
Best Regards,
Jeffri
