Thanks.

I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks

My MacBook Pro will not allow me to shut down it says it is still importing photos into iPhoto it also will not quit

My MacBook Pro will not allow me to shut down my computer. Their seems to be a glitch in the iPhotos. It says it is still importing photos into iPhoto. It will not allow me to quit either.

You could always hold down the power button to force the MacBook to turn off. This is usually a last resort step though, but if nothing else is working and you are sure it isn't importing photos then you might consider it.

Installer Disk Will not Quit and Will not Eject. Please Help!

I did a really stupid thing today: I tried to install Leopard on my iBook G4, not thinking/realizing that it needs more RAM than it has to be able to install it. Now, 10 hours later, the installer disk will not quit and I can find no way to eject it. I have shut down the computer several times and then restarted while holding down the mouse button, but the **** thing just starts cranking away again. At some point, I was able to pull down and choose Quit for the Installer; eventually, a thing came up giving three options: I think they were "restart" "choose startup disk" and "don't quit." I followed the directions that also appeared and clicked "choose startup disk." It has continued to chug away for the past hour after doing that. Is there any hope that I can
a. recover my poor little iBook
b. recover the Leopard Installer Disk? I sincerely hope not to have to buy another one!
Thanks.

There was another thread on this very topic recently, and many things were tried, but I don't know if anything ever worked and I was unable to find that thread.
However, here is something from the MBP forum that sounds like it might also work for an iBook:

Help, I can not quit safari or shut down my computer since updating to Lion.

Can some one help?
Since updating to Lion, I can not quit Safari or shut down my computer.

Several ways to force quit when you can't quit an app normally.
Go to your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then from the drop down menu select Force Quit.
You can also force quit an app using the Activity Monitor app located in /Applications/Utilities.
You should be able to shut down your Mac by holiding down the power button until the screen goes black. Then restart as usual.

Mail Will Not Quit and causes finder to hang.

Yesterday my mail app started to give me the spinning wheel while receiving new mail and will not quit no matter how I try to force quit. This includes forcing a quit through the activity monitor, force quitting through the finder and right clicking > force quit. It has since continued and now in its wake other apps have started to randomly hang as well. Even Thunderbird has done the same thing a couple times. Up to this point I have never had any issues with Mail.
I removed any third party add-ons from the bundles folder and no improvement.
I copied the mail folder to the desktop from user/library/ (Which causes the finder to hang but appears on the desktop once I relaunch the finder. This also happened when I copied the mail preference file to the desktop as well)
What the **** is going on here? Should I be worried about worms at this point? Could one corrupt file affect the system this drastically if it is indeed a corrupted file i received?
Anyone have an idea what might be happening here? I really am trying to avoid reinstalling system software here as I have no idea if re-importing my mail folders will yield the same problem.

The new info is really important, and I am glad you reported it. It sounds very much like something corrupted preferences for Mail, but interesting if only one account was lost.
With what you call you secondary account, have there ever been any changes made by the provider, such as a change in server names that you made as an update to account set up info? When that happens the account folder does not get renamed, and when preferences are lost, and you set up as though new, the old account folder is no longer recognized.
Were you using any applications that could have temporarily used nearly all available disk space in some session of work?
I think you need to purge the preferences file for Mail, but we need to know what may be needed to reconnect to both account folders.
Quit Mail, and in the Finder make a Duplicate of the Mail folder that you found in the Home folder, and drag the copy to the Desktop for temporary backup. Next open Home/Library/Preferences and find the com.apple.mail.plist file and either delete it or drag it out to be on the Desktop.
Relaunch Mail, and set up your accounts again, and decline to import anything even though prompted, and Mail should if all else is well rediscover both account folders.
Please keep us posted.
