Startup Disk Doesn't Shut Down All The Way (restart required)
Is anyone experiencing problems using the Startup Disk in System Preferences?
95% of the time all my system does is close all applications, including the Finder, and then pause with my desktop picture, no mouse and no choice to try anything. I have to press and hold the power button to restart and when it does it doesn't start on the disk I asked for...
When it works it works as it should, but mostly it doesn't at all. Any ideas?inknpaper wrote:
Leopard should be a more efficient operating system than Tiger and thus everything should work slightly faster, if not a lot faster.
In every version of OS X, improved speed is largely the result of caching more data. Hopefully, it is obvious that creating the caches initially takes substantial time, & that updating them may also do so if there have been substantial changes to what should be cached.
This could be done on the 'back end' before shutdown, on the 'front end' after restart occurs, or with a combination of both techniques. From what I can tell, Tiger uses mostly the 'front end' approach, which makes for quick shutdowns but sometimes long startup times. Leopard seems to favor the reverse, doing what cache housekeeping it can before shutting down.
For me, this usually results in quicker overall restart times with Leopard, especially after doing anything that requires much cache maintenance. I guess your mileage may vary.... -
My iPhone 4 vibrate button doesn't go down all the way, could I get that fixed?
If it is defective and still under warranty then they wil replace the iphone for free.
If it is not under warranty then you can buy an out of warranty replacement. In the U.S that would cost $149 -
I downloaded ios7 on my iphone 5 yesterday. All day it worked fine, then last evening it started blinking from the white screen with the black apple to my home screen. Each screen only stays up for 3-5 seconds then switches back. I have tried shutting down and it is still happening! Does anyone know how to fix this issue without having to go into the store?
Your power adapter is OK. If the only place it will not work is in your home, your house wiring and / or the appliances connected to it are likely to be the reason your Mac will not charge.
From Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters:
Identify line noise issues.
Unplug the power adapter from the wall, let it sit for 60 seconds, then plug the adapter back in.
If the adapter works after this 60-second "rest", you most likely have a line noise issue with your power source. You should reset the adapter periodically by repeating this moment of rest. This issue occurs when the AC adapter's "over voltage protection" feature senses ground noise and then turns off the adapter.
Some possible sources of line noise include lights with ballasts, refrigerators, or mini-refrigerators that are on the same electrical circuit as your computer. This behavior may not occur if you plug the power adapter into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or plug it into a different circuit.
Unless the adapter continues to exhibit this behavior on a known good outlet, it does not need to be replaced.
Household wiring problems are very common. They can also be very dangerous. Fortunately most problems can be easily fixed by a qualified electrician. -
Imac g4 won't shut down all the way
Recently installed OS X Tiger. When I shut down the computer all the icons and the dock on the desktop go away, but the computer doesn't completely shut off. Any ideas? Anyone? Thanks!
Hello bad dad:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I would run the hardware tester that came with your computer to see if it detects any problem.
I would also run repair disk from your software install DVD.
I would then (if the above do not "fix" anything) probably do an archive and install to eliminate software issues that may have occurred when you installed OS X:

So my late 2012 MacBook Pro was sitting on my desk when the desk collapsed. The computer fell with it and I was quite scared at the moment, but thankfully I opened it up and it worked perfectly fine again.
I was later watching a YouTube video and pressed the back button. The screen then froze, and I could not force quit safari. Then this weird clicking noise started to happen. It was coming from the right of the trackpad. That's when I decided to force shutdown the computer with the power button.
I let it sit and then decided to turn it back on. The clicking noise then came back and there was just a blank screen on the boot up. Eventually a grey folder with a question mark started flashing on the screen. That was all it did so I decided to turn it off again.
I'm going to take it into the Apple store ASAP, but I'm curious if my hard drive is damaged and if I will need a new one, which would erase everything on my Mac. So I was wondering if there is anyway to back up the hard driver even if it doesn't boot up all the way, or turn on the computer all the way.
P.S. I have never backed up my hard drive so I wouldn't know what to do.You may have damaged the HDD which is located in that spot. I would take it in for service.

MacBook pro keyboard doesn't light up all the way, I don't know why and I was wondering how much it could cost for repairs.
If there is Warranty or AppleCare it will be covered at Apple Store. If no coverage, Apple does not repair iPhone 4 Power/Lock Button, for $149 they will give you a perfect replacement iPhone 4 exactly like yours with a 90 day Warranty. For the time being or as a permanent solution you can use perfect Virtual Lock Button. Tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap the new small white screen button > Device > Lock. You can even use this button to turn the iPhone OFF. To turn iPhone ON, connect to power, ie charger or USB port of computer.

My MacBook Pro turns on but not all the way, it gives me an icon of a grey folder with a question mark in the middle, and won't go further that that. Anyone knows why, or what's the problem?
If these do not resolve the issue or if you are not comfortable with proceeding through these steps then take your Mac to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. An Apple store will perform these initial steps, diagnose the problem, and give an estimate for repairs (if needed). If the Mac is less than one year old or is covered by AppleCare any repairs would be free.

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

Headphone plug doesn't go in all the way
when i try to plug in the earbuds that came with my new ipod (4G, 8GB) into the headphone jack, the plug doesn't go in all the way and only goes in about halfway. i can hear music but whenever i play a song and drop my ipod in my pocket, the slightest movement causes the plug to move and pause the music. its really annoying and happens everytime. is this an abnormality with my ipod or are all ipod 4Gs like this?
Oh my gosh thank you! I didn't wanna apply too much force in fear of breaking a brand new iPod, but I was seriously about to throw it at a wall the next time the plug came out. You're a life saver.

. I'm running Windows XP and FF 8.0. I'm having more trouble than ever with intermittent streaming and videos not playing all the way through. What is the easiest way to fix this?
That may be a problem with the VLC plugin. VLC has never worked for me properly on the occasions that I've tried it on Windows and Linux, so I have stop using it. There are usually other plugins or media players available that work better.
What kind of media files are that?
For WMP files you can install the new Windows Media Player plugin you can also try RealPlayer and QuickTime if it is about media that those programs can handle to see if that works better.

Pro doesn't shut down- stuck on spinning wheel
If anybody can give advice, on what I should do at this moment. Later today i have an appointment with one to one training at Apple Store, but right now, I am trying to shut down my Pro. for some reason, it won't shut down. it is stuck on the spinning wheel. Any ideas? Should I do a force quit on it by holding down on the power button until it shuts down? Should I let it stay the way it is until my appointment? (which is another 3 hours from this moment)
There is an option under the Apple icon that is called Force Quit. That will force most programs to quit....do all except Finder.
I had the same problem until I figured out that most programs have to be shut down before the system can turn off.
Hope that is kind of clear. I am not an expert but learned that trick from an Apple Care agent.

My MBP won't shut down.
If I select Shut Down from the menu it goes through the motions and then gets to a screen and just hangs there. The spinning icon sits in the middle and spins and spins and spins. The only way to shut it down is by holding down the power key. Any suggestions? (BTW - I have no problems with choosing restart).
Thanks,
DanielHow long are you waiting? I've waited as long as 3-minutes in Leopard already. I was about ready to force shutdown, but then all of a sudden, it shut down.
If yo don't reboot that often, you may have a bunch of virtual memory swap files it's unloading. Try shutting down right after a reboot and see what happens.
