"Program Not Responding" and cannot shutdown the computer? Help?

I have a TouchSmart tx2, upgraded from Vista to Win 7 Ultimate, 32-bit. The BIOS version is F.03, Released 2008 11 25. My computer will not shut down...I get a blank screen and the constant whirrrrrr of the hard drive but it will not shut down and I am forced to do a hard shut down and restart in SAFE mode. Further, I get the "Program not responding" problem 6 to 7 times a day while running Outlook, and several other programs. I'm not sure what to do at this point? Help?

Same problem here since an upgrade to the recent xbmc version.
- hal removed
- udisks and upower installed
- my user is in the 'power' group
I start X via /etc/inittab:
x:5:respawn:/bin/su lynix -l -c "/bin/bash --login -c 'startx xbmc'>/dev/null 2>&1"
and my .xinitrc is:
#!/bin/sh
nvidia-settings -l
if [ "$2" == "xbmc" ]; then
# start XBMC
exec ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/xbmc --standalone -fs --debug &>$HOME/.xsession-errors
else
# start openbox session
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session &>$HOME/.xsession-errors
fi
Any hints what could be wrong?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

My mac is not responding and I have the pinwheel of death

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.

I just recently installed mountain lion and an update for SMC firmware to install power nap. Everything is working except for the menu bar, the icons native to the system do not respond, and features like the clock and battery meter freeze.
When I mouse over the icons, the rainbow appears as if it was processing something. The problem is eliminated when I restart my computer but it comes back after a while.
I guess I cant make a backup copy and restore the whole disk because the copy would be made with this error.
Can anyone help me? Anyone with the same issue?

Update: I was able to test out the HDMI adapter as well and the same issue occured. I'm stumped. 10.8.1 maybe.

Itunes program not responding and wants me to send error report

I have read many posts and answers to this problem and have tried about everything that I have read. When I try to open the itunes 7 program on my desktop, it says the program cannot respond and must shut down. It also asks if I wish to send an error report. I have installed and uninstalled the itunes 7 program several times. I have disabled my spyware applications and my norton antivirus programs and then tried to re-install and I get the same thing. I have also tried to install Quicktime 7 stand alone program and when I try to install and run this program another message comes up that states that it cannot install this Quicktime program because another more recent QT program is already installed on my computer. I am really starting to go crazy here. Can anyone help?

okay, let's try this first.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall
QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files
and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or
double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click
Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and
QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your
PC by doing a repair install of
itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications
prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change"
and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the
PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch
properly now?
i tried all above as i am having the same problem, but i still get the message "itunes has encountered a problem and must close" and quicktime still does nothing when i try to open it...

Photoshop not responding and cannot access my user information from home screen.

I have Photoshop 9 when I get the home page and click on the organizer a hour glass appears and the software stops responding. I have upgraded to plus members and it will not access my user infromation so I cannot use the benifits.

I assume you are talking about Photoshop Elements 9. If so try that fourm at http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements

I get a dialog box to allow a cookie from Yahoo mail but it does not respond and locks up the entire browser. All other sites work fine.

The sign in page for yahoo mail wants to set cookies. I get a dialog box that asks to set a second cookie but it is unresponsive, eitehr to check allow or close it. Going to task manage says the site is waiting for input from me but I cannot get the browser to respond in any manner whatsoever.
All other tabs work fine and the yahoo site can be opened with IE fine.

Set up to "Ask me every time" in the Privacy elections. I think I found the problem. Looks like there were two dialog boxes, the second right on top of the first so I could not check the first one so it never got the OK and kept waiting for input.
Seems OK now.

Photoshop CC 2014 not responding and cannot uninstall

PS CC 2014 installed on Mac. Recent update stopped at 74% days ago. Tried to stop update and now it says "finishing" for the last 2 days. PS CC 2014 won't open at all. Tried to uninstall it and Adobe Creative Cloud but I keep getting a message that the Adobe Manger is still running and it closes me out. This is a serious work stoppage.

Hi Donna, and welcome to the forum
I am afraid I am not familiar with Mac and OSX, but with Windows we have a Task Manager in which we can view all process currently running, and select and stop them. If you have a similar function with OSX, you can stop the problematic process.
You can also try the Cleaner tool and the other links below

Good luck

Photoshop CS6 - not responding and most of the window is white

Every time I start PSCS6 I get that. No idea why. It gets like that and it's not responding. Please help

Something is interfering with UI drawing.
That could be a driver (like your video card driver), or some utility on your system.

Touchpad not responding. Cannot shutdown since I can't swipe to turn off. It also won't charge. Help!

iPhone 5s Stopped responding right after I finished a call. Touchpad doesn't respond and I cant shut down since I can't swipe to turn off. I updated to latest OS 8.1.3 a few days ago but it worked fine until now. I tried charging but it isn't responding to that either.

Thanks. I forgot to hold them longer. Is this because of the software update?
it still doesn't show that it is charging though. I Hope that fixes itself. Now my IPad is acting up. I think I'll reset that too!

HT201441 what if previous owner is not present and cannot delete the cloud

I have iphone wth icloud logged in with previous owner so when i restore the phone its askin for previous owners icloud id and i cant find the previous owner is there a way to start phone as a new one

Yes, that means you cannot use the phone without the previous owner removing their AppleID.
The IMEI and ICCID are useless to you. Only the AppleID password of the previous owner would help.
