Outlook won't let computer shut down
Hi, when I try to shut down my MacBook Air it says I need to close outlook first. There is a permanent outlook screen that says "Weclome to office for Mac 2011" asking me to enter product key, set up etc. I use all the other programs but have no need to use outlook and I don't have the boxes allowing me to close the screen. When I quit the application it doesn't go anywhere. My computer now won't shut down and as I need to install updates for unrelated software, I can't because the computer won't restart. Can anyone help?
Thank you so so much! How embarrassing it was that simple

No screen, so I can't start in safe mode; won't quit; won't force quit; won't let me uninstall the app; won't allow the computer to restart because the app is supposedly "open"
Rebooting the computer should close everything.
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems? -

Hi
I recently downloaded the new Firefox (Firefox 4, I think - you can tell I'm very tech savvy!) and it constantly freezes, I can't do anything with it at all - I can't even close it from the icon in my Mac dock bar.
I have tried restarting my computer - though I have to turn it off by using the power button as as Firefox is open and totally unresponsive it won't let me shut down. About a minute after re-starting Firefox, restoring my tabs or starting afresh, it freezes again.
This is obviously very annoying and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Firefox is my preferred browser, and I'd really like to be able to use it again!This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6. -
My computer gives me an error message that "mail" won't let me shut down, and to "quit" mail in order to shut down. When I go to "quit" mail, the "quit" tab isn't highlighted so won't let me click on it. How can I shut down?
Force Quit the Mail. Apple Symbol in the upper left of the display - Force Quit - Select Mail and then restart the computer.

Need help removing new FBI virus from my MAC Pro. Virus won't let me shut down computer. What do I need to do?
It's not a virus.
Quit Safari. Force quit if necessary.
Relaunch Safari by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the bad page from reloading automatically. 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. -

My mail won't open but it won't close on my finder bar...won't let me shut down my Mac.
Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

Reader 9 won't let me shut down my computer. File reader_sl won't close.
I have Reader 9 on my machine and when I try to shut down my computer, the file named
reader_sl.exe will not quit. I tried to load Reader X but Adobe tried to load two other programs onto my computer at the same time, programs that I had not agreed to accept. This is an immoral act. Therefore, I aborted the download. How do I get my machine to shut down
without deleting that file and screwing up Reader 9? Or is there a non-Adobe site where
I can download Reader X without being cr..ped on?Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and close Safari from there.

LG monitor won't let me shut down completely
I just got an LG monitor (L1932). When connected to my mac running 10.4.7, it won't shut down all the way. The mac appears to completely shut down, but then it immediately boots back up, almost as if I had chosen "Restart" instead of "Shut Down." It won't "Sleep" either, as it immediately wakes back up. The reboot / wake up seem to happen as the monitor shows a 'power saving' message.
I've tried my old monitor, and the problem goes away. I've zapped PRAM. I'm not getting a response from LG support either.
A friend suggested maybe I had a bad Tiger install, and I should do a clean install. I've also heard that LG has bad support for Apple users.
Any ideas?
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)I've switched out the video cable, but the same thing is happening. There is also no USB cable hooked up.
I am able to completely shut down by unplugging the monitor. I first select "Shut Down," which brings up the confirmation alert. Then, I unplug the monitor. Finally , I hit the Enter key to confirm the shut down. Obviously, though, this is unacceptable. -
Why won't my computer shut down
My computer will not shut down. Most the times it says that it is because applications are failing to quit. Yes, I have tried to force quit multiple ways, such as Command+option+esc. I have also held down the mouse if on the dock, but the force quit option has not been present during those efforts. Applications that have been unresponsive so far: iTunes, The Sims 3, Safari, Word, Preview. I tried deleting applications, but failed because they need to be quit before that is possible. This also goes for installing updates. Thank you for your help.
hold option and right click the app you're trying to close and then you will see force quit. you can also force quit in Activity monitor

Anyone knows how to stop this update? Or how to continue the update so that my Macbook can be shut down or restarted...
Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

I can't shut my computer down side my iPhoto app is telling me that it's importing pictures, but not is happening & I wanted to uninstall iPhoto to see if that would work. Please some one help me! This is annoying.
The "Importing" message can be cause by a corruption of your iPhoto library - then uninstalling will not help. Try this:
Force Quit iPhoto:
From the -menu in the upper left corner of the screen: > Force quit ⌥⌘⎋
Then select iPhoto from the panel.
Then fix your iPhoto library and remove the "Importing" folder from the library -
see this post by LarryHN how to do it:
