Rules panel won't close after deleting one rule; Mail won't shut down except by Force Quit
And when I Force Quit, the rule I wished to delete remains on the list.
As a temporary work around, create a new rule to 'Stop Evaluating Rules' and then drag the one you are trying to get rid of below it in the list. This should stop the rule from being used.

Macbook won't shut down unless i force quit!
Hi my macbook won't shut down unless i force shutdown.... it's been like this for a while so i hardly ever shut it down..... can't even close the case as it will then just continually shutdown and re-start itself on n on n on, whilst shut!!!
It does occasionally shut down successfully ...... but today it shut down fine.... 1st time i tried it for well over a week! But then refused to start up! 1st time it's done this!! it took over two hours to convince it to start!!! Any thoughts would be massively appreciated ..... apple care run out and ZERO funds to have fixed !!! : (( v sad as i love my mac and can't do without it!!!shelbell508 wrote:
I tried to run the disk utility and it wouldn't run properly
Exactly what did you do to run Disk Utility and exactly what happened up to the freeze?
I called some place to ask for advice and they said it could be my logic board???
That's an easy answer to give but not necessarily the correct one.
If you have the system restore disc that came with your Mac, boot with that disc in the Mac while holding down the "D" key. That will invoke hardware diagnostics. Run those several times to investigate the possibility that your Mac has a hardware flaw. -
IPhoto '09 won't shut down unless I force quit
I am trying to thin out my library and am manually copying them to an external drive. When I then move event to the trash and empty trash, iPhoto locks up and will not close. After I force quit, all the events are back in the library, but grayed out. Please HELP. What am I doing wrong, or is there a way to quickly back up the entire library to an external drive?
I followed your advice and dragged the library onto the back up drive, and it copied it all over, but is it just running it from that location now?
Nope. You need to choose it first. Now that the Library has been copied you need to tell iPhoto to look at it.
To tell iPhoto which library to read:
_Quit iPhoto if its open
_Hold down option on the keyboard
_Keep holding option and launch iPhoto
_You will get a window that asks you to choose a library
_Go down the list of libraries and locate the one that is on the external drive (as you click on each library you will see it's location listed at the bottom of the window)
It didn't clear up any space, and when I opened iPhoto from the desktop to delete the events it seems to also delete from the backed up version.
Once you have followed the above steps to switch iPhoto to your library copy on the external drive you can then go to Home > Pictures > iPhoto Library and dump that Library in the trash.
_Launch iPhoto again to make sure you have your pictures. If you do, then you can empty your trash which will free up the disk space.
<hr>
Back to your backup question.
By moving your iPhoto Library to an external drive, and then deleting the Library from the computer, you now have your iPhoto Library in one and only one location, the external drive.
So what happens if that external drive crashes? poof all pictures gone.
To avoid that from happening you want to have a backup. What is a backup? A backup is a copy of your information. By having your information in two different locations, if one location stops working (failed drive, lightening, cats) you have a second location where the data is stored.
For VERY important information that you never want to lose, you should consider having even more backups like on DVD or even another hard drive that you disconnect from the computer and store somewhere safe (like inside a fire-proof safe). You would update that additional backup every now and then.
Here is how I have my computer setup.
_Macintosh HD -- This is my computer. It has all my files minus iTunes, iPhoto, and Movies.
_Media Drive -- This is my 1st external hard drive. It contains all my iTunes, iPhoto, and Movies. (I did this because my Macintosh HD was getting so full because of all the iTunes, iPhoto, and Movies content.)
_Time Machine Backup Drive -- This is my 2nd external hard drive. The Time Machine program performs automatic backups of both the Macintosh HD and the Media Drive to this drive.
If I have an issue with either the Macintosh HD (the computer) or the Media drive (the location of my pictures, movies, and music) I have a backup in that Time Machine Backup Drive that I can get my files from.
You could setup your system in the same way.
I have a "my passport" drive, but I've been warned that they are a bit sketchy.
I don't own a passport myself though I've seen them. Have you actually had an issue with it or is this someone else's reports of issues? If you have had issues with your drive you should contact the drive's manufacturer to get those resolved (assuming it's in warranty still).
If you have doubts or have had recurrent issues with one of your external drives, you might want to consider replacing it with something you do trust. Why keep a drive you think is bad? Hard drives are really quite inexpensive these days. You can get big drives for relatively little. Examples from Apple's website (but you can buy drives at pretty much any store that sells electronics).
If your shopping for a backup drive go for the largest one you can afford (you can always use more space because you will eventually fill it up). Also going for a faster connection like Firewire is a good thing to look for, though certainly not required.

Help!
Hi,
Mac OS: Long Delay Before Web Pages Start to Load, Then Load Suddenly at Normal Speed
*I tried entering a manual DNS*
If you have not tried Open DNS, go here. Open DNS
Just click the computer icon and follow the instructions.
Empty the Cache. To empty the cache memory go to the Safari menu and click 'Empty Cache
Reset Safari go to the Safari menu and click 'Reset Safari.. select the first 5 buttons and click Reset.
To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/Icons and delete its contents.

Imac won't shut down - asked to force quit programs
Hi Everyone,
I've had my iMac for about a year now. No issues until now. Recently when I try to shut down from the apple menu it doesn't do anything for a minute or so, then I get a pop up that asks to to quit a certain program or programs that are open. It asks me to force quit them. It seems to be anything I had open, like mail or safari. This never happened before. It would always just shut down. So, if I go back and quit all the open programs I think are open, then try to shut down, it still doesn't shut down. I then have to manually hold the power button to force it to shut down. When I quit all the programs, I don't get an task bar at the top to pick the apple icon to then shut down as well. Can anyone help with why this might be doing this recently and how to fix it? No new programs of any kind have been installed recently. I'm not real good at computers but I know something is not right with this now as it always would just shut down from the apple menu with no issues.
Thanks in advance for your help!

My movies are giving a URL not found on server error message, last week they worked fine. After deleting one of them, I don't get any retries for a free download. How do I contact the seller to complain? Obviously the one of the other movies first..

Thanks again for the simple but valuable tip.
I'm just going to repeat the relevant sections from my previous post with the screenshots this time:
Below you'll see a snip of how my current folder structure appears. It's identical to yours, except there are no button files in the General Folder. Since you were kind enough to include a file name, I did a search on that specific one and it's nowhere to be found on my hard drive. Hmmm....
I've seen others remark on how... "challenging".... Adobe's instructions can be sometime. I'll admit to having the same feeling when I was trying to download and install all the content files and the 7-zip stuff. Is the answer somehow that I screwed up that? Note the 7-zip folder right above the Adobe folder. Here's a screen shot of that expanded folder contents:
Does that look like you think it should? Have I not installed or extracted something correctly?
Finally, the only other thing I can think of to give you as much info as you might need is to include a screenshot of where the "Functional Content" stuff got saved. Adobe's instructions about this (if I recall correctly) were that it did NOT have to be installed anywhere specific, but you then had to go into Encore (& Premiere) and through preferences point to this stuff, which I believe I did. But I don't see any button type files in these anyway.
Other thoughts or advice?
Thanks! -

Any ideas on what to do here?

I can't shut down my computer because it says mail is open. It says to close mail and continue shut down. Problem is I can't open or close mail now. Can't shut down my computer at all. What can I do?
If you cannot get mail to quit/force quit, you can always remove power from your Mac.
NOTE: removing power is a bad idea, and can result in data loss, but sometimes it is the only thing left to do.
Press and hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds, and the Mac will power off.
When you power back on, the Mac should reboot. -
Bug Report iOS 7 iTunes. Since it is repeatable on 3 iPhones and 4 iPads here, I'm sure others are experiencing the same thing. Apple, might want to take a peek at this. When a tv show or movie is deleted from Videos, the Videos app shuts down instead of returning to video playlist.
Restarting videos works and looks like video is getting deleted.
Just a bug reportYou might want to report that to Apple instead of to the other users in this forum.

Right after starting up display goes blank and shuts down?
Right after starting up display goes blank and shuts down?
Any ideas I can't get it started. Thought I would ask for help before making a genius appt.Thanks that was very helpful info. I was able to boot into the recovery disk partition and run some basic HD tests and it found no issues. Then I booted into the hardware test and it found no issues. After these tests it still failed to boot into Mavericks. I'm guessing its a software issue and I can not find the original computer disk. I have a time machine backup from 2 months ago and I could use the disk utility on the recovery sector to launch it but I want to wait and see if I can boot from a software DVD first. If I can repair the current OS that is my best option.
Thanks. -
Mail application keeps shutting down short after start up - resulting in an error message. how can I repair what is wrong without losing my mail history?
Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?

Hi to all, I use Windows 7, 64Bit and Lightroom 5.7, Camera Raw 8.7, when I develop or export files (mostly Raw Fils from Nikon D810) after 10 to 20 pictures my computer shuts down or I get a bluescreen. Please tell me why.
Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
Make sure your video driver is up to date.
If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly. -
i unplugged my iphone 3gs ios 5.1.1 and started playing..i played for about 2 hours,BUT the battery didnt change!!!...after about 4 hours,the phone suddenly shuts down...i recalebrated the battery (by hard reset)..but didnt help...so HELPPP PLZZZ!!!!!!!..+ when i charge my iphone, i dont see the lightning bolt,instead, i see a plug icon...i know this means th@ battery is full, but my battery is no where near full!!!!!
Just a quick update with a couple more details before I go to work:
I left my phone plugged into the wall charger all night long but the Apple logo is still blinking on and off. However, when unplugged from the charger, the screen goes blank and the unit does not respond to pressing/holding the buttons at all. Likewise, flipping the mute switch does not cause the phone to vibrate as it normally would, which made me wonder if power was being disrupted somewhere else in the unit before the battery. I just finished disassembling the unit down to the battery, looked for any loose connections etc., and did spot a suspicious looking spot on top of the #5 ribbon connector that I had not taken notice of before in my first disassembly. I'll take a picture of it and post a link for your consideration later on today when I have a spare moment, although I fear the worst.
