Ran Stellar defrag on a bootable CD. It was a (supposedly) successful defrag but the only way I could close the software was to manually shut down my mini. Now I can't get the mini to restart...it just spins until the stop icon comes on the screen?

Ran Stellar defrag from a bootable CD. It was a successful defrag but when I tried to quit the program, it wouldn't respond. I finally had to manually turn off the mini. Now the mini won't restart...it attempts to for several minutes & then the stop icon displays. I have tried holding down the option key during restart & selecting the hard drive but get the same results. The Stellar people tell me it is a Mac issue. Help!

Does it boot from the Restore Partition?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • HT6012 I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.  What do I do?

    I had an older version of Mac OS, I upgraded to Snow leopard and then OSx Lion, most of my software has been upgraded except for Imovie.  Now I can't get my projects to upload or share to iDVD or iTunes.   Also to compound the situation everytime I attempt to share to iDVD or iTunes, iMovie quits unexpectedly.    What do I do?

    If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
    If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

  • My Ipad is just over a year old.  I just got a blue screen, then it shut down.  I pushed the power and screen buttons together and it came back, but then went down again and now I can't get it to power up.  Any suggestions.

    Can anyone help with the blue screen I just got.  Tried to power back up like one Apple user suggested by holding the power and screen button together, came back briefly, then shut down.  Now nothing.  Any help?

    Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • I deleted iPhoto because it was installed under a different Apple ID, now I can't get it back without paying. HELP!!!

    Hello. I started work at a new job and am continuously being asked for the previous employees Apple ID for various different reasons. I have sorted out most of the places where his ID was set as defualt, but have run into an issue I can't seem to figure out.
    My Mac update notification popped up to lket me know I had some updates ready for downloading. When I clicked it brings me to the App store update screen. From here I selected the updates (iPhoto and iMovie). The only problem is that as soon as I select these and hit update, it brings up a window which instructs me to put in the password for this prior employees ID. Obviously I don't have this and can't get it. The problem here is that the ID name is grayed out and doesn't let you change it to my own. I did some reading in these support community walls and found that the reason for the name being grayed out is because the app that I am trying to update was orginally downloaded by using that ID. It instructed to delete the app from the computer and reinstall...
    Here's where I am now and my current problem. I can't reinstall iPhoto or IMovie without paying for them through the App Store. How can I get these back without paying?
    Thanks

    Is this your machine or the company's?  Machines that came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed come with system and software install disks that can be used to reisntall the iApps that came with the machine orignally. 
    If this is your machine and it came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed the disk will look slimialr to one of these:
    If it is the company's machine see if they have the disks.
    Do a custom install and then use Software Update to update iPhoto to the highest version that is available.

  • I changed my App Store to US from UK as I was looking for a tv drama and now I can not get back to uk, so I can not update etc.

  • IMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?

    iMovie wii no longer share with iDVD.  I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and now I can't get iDVD to work properly.  Any thoughts?  This is what comes up.....

    iDVD does work with Yosemite although, as Kappy pointed out unsupported for 2 years, so try this basic troubleshooting fix:
    1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
    User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder: User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD.
    3 - launch IDVD and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks or Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    If iDVD crashes again post the first 50 lines of the crash report.  Don't post a screenshot but copy and paste the actual text.
    To get a movie from iMovie to iDVD it should be exported out of iMovie as 480p and added manually to iDVD.

  • I have just updated to Yosemite, but now I can't get the custom shortkeys to work. In Mavericks I had no problem whatsoever, but now even after googeling and restart no solution. Does anyone have the problem? All the other shortcuts work!

    Hi Thomas,
    I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
    Thanks for identifying this issue!
    In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
    Cheers,

  • TS3899 I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?

    Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
    When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
    Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
    After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
    It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
    Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    I updated my 3gs to 6.1.3 now I can't get mail the phone constantly restarts itself and I can't get it to Restore thanks Apple what can I do?

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • Uploaded a performance video on actors access, but cant view it on my pc. I get the audio, but the screen is green. It does come up on other computers, but not mine. Any explanations?

    uploaded a performance video on actors access, but cant view it on my account. I get the audio, but the screen is green. It does come up on other computers, but not mine. Is it my quicktime's not downloaded or upgraded?

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
