Please help!!

This wouldn't be the right place to get help with this type of situation you would have better luck in the Using Mac OS X section... but this since you're here, try this
If you are able to get past the login window try this
1. reboot holding down Command S
2. type "/sbin/mount -uw /" with no qoutes
3. type rm -r "/Users/(your account short name)/Library/Caches" no qoutes. ie: rm -r /Users/eric/Library/Caches
4.type reboot
If you cannot get to the login window(stuck at a grey or blue screen) try this

the last step would be to create a new account via single user mode. If the 1st two suggestions don't work come back and post and I'll post how to do that or give you a script that you can run in single user mode to do it for you (whichever you prefer)

  • My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file

    I recently have installed Adobe Master Suite CS6 Collection. My Adobe acrobat X Pro does not respond after a minute I open up a pdf file. This happens every time when open a new pdf file. My operating system is Windows 7 pro ( Lenovo-64 bits). Any suggestions would be appreciated !!

    Thank you for the suggestions.
    I checked the WIndows log files. It reported the following error:
    The program Acrobat.exe version 10.1.1.33 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.
    Process ID: 4770

    I ran for the memory diagnostics as it showed the error with video card error. My NVDIA graphics card is not working properly. Do you think that could be a problem?I am running on Windows 7 64 bit computer. It also complains about the incompatibility with 64 bits.

  • Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

    I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything.  I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding.  It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
    The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks.  I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Go to http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere and, in the area just under Ask a Question, type in

  • MacBook Pro 15" not responding after boot-up?

    My MacBook Pro 15” has an issue and won’t work! Yesterday I went to my MB to load it up for my daily commute into the city. As I was loading my bag I tried to disconnect my ext. backup drive that works via Time Machine.
    When I left it the night before for its nightly back-up everything was five by five. However in the morning I couldn’t disconnect the device nor did my trackpad work (no mouse cursor). I was forced to perform a cold shut-down.
    When I returned home last night I initiated a power up on my MacBook Pro. Everything booted up fine however I didn’t have control of the trackpad. My keyboard didn’t work either. I shut it down and repeated the process a few more times. Each time after the boot-up I had the same problem. I can see the mouse cursor, but have no control and the keyboard will not respond to any key being depressed.
    Does anyone know what is wrong my MacBook Pro, beside user error or the “Nut behind the wheel?”
    Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
    Cheers~

    Did you try booting up using the system disk? By rebooting into the system disc, will test whether the keyboard problem is localized to the installed version of OSX or a larger problem.
    Here is a little follow up. I went home and tried the system disk. No luck, now I have a system disk in my machine that I cannot remove because the eject button doesn't work.
    I took my MBP to the Genius Bar as scheduled. The “Genius” did the normal reboot and head scratch test. However when he plugged in an external mouse and keyboard, voila Bob’s your Uncle and it worked. Hi expert firm determination had concluded that the trackpad and keyboard were no functioning on my MBP…
    The trackpad and keyboard are connected to the motherboard via a ribbon cable that had been fried at the connection. They will be keeping “left brain” for the next few days to RR the trackpad and keyboard.
    The good news is that I have the service plan that will cover all expenses and parts. It was worth it to spend the few extra monies upfront, because I could only imagine what this would cost without it.
    The other good news is that they will not send my MBP to the Tennessee repair depot, it will stay at the store to be worked on.

  • Premiere PRO CS5 Not Responding after 5.0.3 update.

    Was working great until I updated to 5.0.3. As soon as I open a project I get a spinning circle along with (Not Responding) notice at the top. After waiting 10 minutes to see if it would respond and nothing happening I force quit the program. I've tried restarting the computer, opening up different projects, starting new projects and running the updater again. Still can't get it to work.
    I don't think it's a hardware issue since it was running great prior to the update and this issue occuring immediately after the update.

    Thanks Bill.
    Eric at ADK actually resolved this for me. I hadn't uninstalled the previous driver for the quadro 5000 card when that driver was updated and premiere was having issues with the multiple nividia drivers so it was really an nvidia issue. He unistalled all the previous drivers for the quadro and that fixed the issue.
    Can't say enough wonderful things about Eric and ADK. Very friendly and patient but most importantly knowledgeable.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 not responding after 55 minutes of capture with intensity shuttle

    Hi and thank you for the valuable resources on this forum.
    I am capturing analogue video into Premiere Pro CS5 using he Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (with Time Base Corrector in the video path).  My captures are stopping at 54 or 55 minutes when the computer becomes non responsive.  This has happened with the Blackmagic motion jpeg codec as well as the 10 bit YUV capture. Same thing happens if I capture with media express (the blackmagic capture software)
    I have tweaked my system as per many of the recommendations in the forum.
    Running CS5 5.03, autosave set to 10 minutes (same problem with no autosave or autosave at 20 minutes)
    Windows 7 64 bit fully updated
    i7 - 930 cpu
    Gigabyte x58A - UDP5 (Revision 1)
    24 Gb Ram
    Nvidia 470 - MSI with the twin Frozr cooling solution.
    Restore off, indexing off, windows search off,
    Followed tips from forum and Viper regarding optimizing system
    3 Hard drives
    System on standard Sata 2 drive
    Project capture to OCZ Vertex 3 120 g SSD drive (nice bit of gear) running on Sata 3 controller
    Page file on another hard drive
    Norton 360 unistalled
    Anything else I could find unistalled or turned off.
    Firmware and drivers for on board USB latest from Driver Station as per Blackmagic Recommendations.
    Very succesful capture of things shorter than 55 minutes but I have some longer things I would like to capture in one go.
    I have used process explorer to watch what happens.  Nothing special that I can identify in terms of processes but cpu seems to be going to 100%.
    With progessive tweaks the problems remains the same.
    I am not aware of any file size limits with Premire Pro or Blackmagic - are there some?
    Considering reinstall but would greatly appreciate any insights.  My first post so I hope I have provided the right info to help you help me.
    Thank you
    Andrew

    Good that you got it fixed... bridging device drivers have cause problems clear back to the computer version of the stone ages
    I still have a Pinnacle Dv500 card (used via dual-boot with WinXP and Premiere 6x) that went through several device driver versions to get everything working right
    While everything is working right... make a full "picture" of your hard drive to external USB drive to make recovering easy in case something goes wrong
    Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full
    backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step
    backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step
    if something doesn't work
    This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive
    (or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a
    restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation
    information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-
    Activate if you change very much hardware)
    The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
    Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to
    make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden
    registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore
    the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
    Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a
    plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a
    hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or
    re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

  • Please help! Ipod touch not turning on :(

    okay, i have a Ipod touch 5th gen, had it a couple months now. this morning i put my ipod in its normal place- a draw, and no one could have been on it. when i get home however it's dead. i thought it needed to charge so i plugged it in, i left it for a few minuets but it still didnt turn on! I now have it plugged to my laptop and its not being recognised at all. i've pressed the home button to try and turn it on but nothing is happening! i havent done anything for it to brake please help!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
