My safari won't switch off - what can i do?

i opened a page which should have allowed me to download a mock TOCFL exam (that's the standardized chinese exam in taiwan), but instead i just got a page of gibberish and since then skype won't let me close it, also while closing tabs there's no longer an x to click, instead i have to right click and then close it that way. anyone know what's going on here? also since safari won't switch off, i have no way of trying to deinstall and then reinstall it...any suggestions?

Select  ▹ Force Quit... from the menu bar, then select Safari and press return. Do the same with Skype.
Run Software Update and install all available updates.
Reinstalling system components is rarely the solution to any problem, and certainly not to this one.

My i pod touch crashed and is displaying a blank yellow screen and won't turn off what can i do?

My I pod crashed and now displays a blank yellow screen i can't switch it off what can I do.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My MacMini does not stop after giving the order ''switch off''.What can I do?

My MacMini does not stop after giving the order ''switch off''.
It stops only, after pushing the button ''on/off'' for some seconds.

boot the Mac into safe mode, repair permissions while in it, then reboot normally.
if that doesn't help, try resetting the System Management Controller (SMC).

My ipod touch won't switch on, what can i do?

i bought an ipod touch 3 days ago in portugal, i charged it today for the first time for about 8 hours and then i took it out to listen to it and it doesn't switch on.. i have tried doing everything such as restarting, and it still doesn't work. what can i do ?

Hi
Firstly was the ipod sealed in the wrapper untouched ?
If the answer is yes, then what you need to do is hunt for the customer support number on the apple store web site.
Have patience because it took me a while to find a number to call.
Or you can ring the first number you find and ask to be transfered.
Explain to them the problem,
If the ipod is less then 14 days old since you bought it from a store, then you are entitled to have it replaced, they will sort a courier to pick it up.
But chances are if you didnt buy it from a registered stockist, it wont happen
If not dont worry, you are covered by warranty, they will send a courier to pick up your ipod and have it fixed,
Chances are they cant fix it so they will send you a brand new one.
I had the same problem, it seems that the first models they kicked out had a few hardwear faults.
Hope this helps Red

My laptop won't turn off - what can I do?

My wife cannot turn her Macbook Pro off. Any ideas anyone??

what happens when you hold the power button down for 5-10 seconds?

Wifi symbol missing plus phone won't switch off

My wifi symbol is missing from my screen, settings say I am connected, checked this by turning cellular data off and I can still access Internet so I must be connected.
Thought by switching off and turning on again might fix the issue but my phone won't switch off.
Can anyone offer any assistance? I'm a bit of a technophobe so need things in laymans terms please.
My iPad and another iPhone are showing as connected to the same wifi network.
I have an iPhone 5.

RESET DEVICE
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

You can't install Safari 3 on your 10.3.9 OS.
You must use the DVD installer to re-install the older version of Safari found on it.
You can update your operating system buy purchasing Tiger (10.4) and get a more modern version of Safari.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

I have a new mac book air and somehow iPhoto was installed twice. Also, a second library was created and it became the default library. I attempted to switch to the original library but it won't open. what can I do to revert to the old library?

Both iPhotos open to a default library (#2) which has 300+ photos, I attempted to "switch to library" under the file tab in iPhoto and tried to choose "other library" which had most of my photos. When I attempt to open it, it doesn't do anything. I can see it and there are 2 libraries but it won't open.
Have you tried to open your old iPhoto library by double-clicking it directly, instead of using the File menu? That should work, if you are running iPhoto '11 and the library has been created by that version or an older version. DO you get an error message, if you select the library directly in the Finder?
I checked and it is the latest version of iPhoto.
Is it iPhoto '11, version 6.0.5? "Latest version" is ambiguous, because it will depend on your system version.
Where is your iPhoto Library stored?

There is no standby time on my iphone 4 as the music won't switch off no matter what i do?

there is no standby time on my iphone 4 as the music won't switch off no matter what i do?

Try a hard reset while connected to power: (adapter, not iTunes on computer): Press and hold both the Home button and Sleep/wake button at the same time for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple Logo appears.
If this doesn't work: try to force restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
NB: the article above will erase all data and content, so make sure you've got a backup
Good luck

While erasing memories from iPhone 4, the phone gets switched off and can't turn on back

while erasing memories from iPhone 4, the phone gets switched off and can't turn on back. Please help.

What exactly do you mean by "erasing memories"?

I want to listen to itunes through my 5.1 amp on apple tv but sound stops when tv is switched off how can I stop this?

I want to listen to itunes through my 5.1 amp thru apple tv but the sound stops when when my television is switched off how can I stop this?
All I want to be on is my PC and my amp connected thru ATV via optical linkl

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes there have been a number of reports posted about this, it seems different people experience different results here with some finding the same as you, some finding that it won't work at all with the TV turned off and some finding that if music is sent from iTunes on the mac/pc that as long as the TV is on when the stream starts, the TV can be turned off afterwards.
My assumption here is that it depends on the TV itself, although that probably doesn't help all that much.

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

I have a white screen on my iphone 3G since last night.. I tried a holding home and on/off buttons down but it won't switch off - help

Apparently, this is caused by a loose connection between the "guts" of the phone and the LCD screen. While it only displays white, the touch screen will still operate correctly - so if you know where to swipe, you can still power it off or unlock the screen, or touch to answer a call or etc.
With my phone, pinching the top right corner near the power button while pushing the home/power button to wake up the phone, seems to tighten the connection enough for it to work. I have not had to maintain the pinch after waking up the phone, but I do have to do it each time I unlock the screen. I have gotten by for about 6 months so far, and hoping the iphone 5's come out soon!!

Won't switch off/on: Rebooting Cycle

The sleep/wake button appears to have stopped working (although can be depressed). The get the iPod to work, one must give it power and then use immediately after unplugging before it goes to sleep. It won't switch off, but after use (and when would normally auto-lock) goes into an apparent rebooting cycle where the screen goes from black (off) to lighting up with Apple logo, and back to black (off) - it will continue in this cycle until the battery dies. Once it is in this cycle, the sleep/wake and home buttons do not function.
Any ideas?
I've tried holding sleep/wake and home buttons for 10 secs to reset - no change.
I've tried connecting it to the computer and checking for updates - the only one which comes up is an update which requires payment for, and I'm loathed to do this in case the iPod is broken and ends up in the bin! The iPod Touch is only 18 months only.

2 possibilities:
o Your iPod has a software-based error. Solution: On iTunes, click on the "Restore" button in your iPod's page.
o Your iPod has a physical problem. Solution: Depending on the actual problem, go to an apple store, and they will tell you if they can do anything to it. If they can't, I'm sorry, but your iPod's good for the bin.
