Stuck with three songs to go...should I shut down?

OK After about 2 days Itunes match I made it to the very end of step 3
it has been stuck on song 9,387 of 9,390 for about 6 hours now
should I shut the entire thing down now? or will I lose the entire two days of matching????
or when I start up will it just do those three songs?
don't want to do anything dumb but it seems locked up for sure
thanks in advance as people have been very helpful

It will pick up where it left off.

Ipod touch stuck with same song display

My ipod touch 4g (2 months old) is stuck with the same song display...the 'back' button to return to the list of albums is not working...if i press the next song arrow key the song is changing but the display is not changing....and even if i delete the song in the i tunes and sync the itouch...the display is still stuck with same song...please help me out on this

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Should I shut down my computer when not in use

should I shut down my computer when not in use, overnight for instance?

Hello! Leaving it on 24/7/365 is perfectly acceptable. You may save some electricity but personally I think you'll pay for it with a more troublesome system. I do however set the monitors to go to sleep. I like the no startup lag time of running 24/7/365. That said, if I lived in an area prone to electrical outages or if my location was prone to lightening strikes I'd probably shut it down and unplugged. Of course with it being unplugged the pram battery may run down. These old G4's have been running 24/7/365 for years now. I do try to restart every few weeks just for good measure! In the end it's your preference. The hardware works best when a constant temperature is maintained. Tom

Should I shut down my OS X 10.9.4 Mac each night, yes or no? Explain why.

Should I shut down my OS X 10.9.4 Mac each night, yes or no? Explain.

I was just curious if there is any harm in shutting it down each night.
That's the difficult part. You'll get answers both ways. You could call Apple's tech support and the person you have on the phone will tell you to leave it on. Call back, and someone else will tell you to turn it off.
Back in the days of much flakier hardware (I mean, way back), our first computer was an IBM XT clone running DOS 3.1. We always turned it off when not in use. Never had a problem with it. Nor have I ever had an issue turning our various computers off over the past 30 years. I just don't see why I'd want to leave it on, uselessly using electricity sitting idle.
If I have to walk away from it for a bit, I'll leave it on. But if I know it's going to be a couple of hours or more before I get back to the computer, off it goes. Whether it's first thing in the morning, or turning it on again midday, waiting a lousy minute for it to come to the desktop from a cold start rather than more quickly coming out of sleep mode isn't that big of a deal.

Hi,
The following article may help you to make decision:
http://lifehacker.com/5940176/is-it-bad-to-shutdown-my-computer-regularly-or-leave-it-on-all-the-tim...
My experiences: there are many computer equipments have been running 10 or even 20 years continuously and now no one is willing to turn them off because they may never turn on again. Just ask someone who has few FEP's (Front End Processor) running now.
Regards.

My external drive won't eject. should I shut down my computer? It says if I force eject, I might lose info stored!

My exernal drive will not eject. Should I shut down my computer? It says if I force eject I might lose info!

Hey I typically have this problem as well. For starters what steps have you went to to eject the drive? Have you just done it from finder or have you gone to the Disk Utility and tried to eject from there as well? If not then I would recommend this first. I would also recommend before doing anything to save any neccessary information that was placed on the drive locally if possible.

Should i shut down my macbook air each night

how often should i shut down my macbook air?

if youre not using it for a few hours
leaving your macbook both ON charge AND in sleep mode is bad on the battery
merely in sleep is another matter, which is fine.
Considerations for the long life of your MacBook. Handling and environmental care tips
General consideration of your MacBook battery
Contrary to popular myths about notebook batteries, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot ‘overcharge’ your notebook when plugged in and already fully charged.
However if you do not plan on using your notebook for several hours, turn it off (plugged in or otherwise), since you do not want your Macbook ‘both always plugged in and in sleep mode’.
A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium-Ion cells the "80% Rule", meaning use 80% of the full charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life. The only quantified damage done in the use of Lithium Ion batteries are instances where the internal notebook battery is “often drained very low”, this is bad general use of your notebook battery.
A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 40% remaining of a 100% charge has a better battery condition state than, say, another person who has 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 10-15% remaining on a 100% charge. DoD (depth of discharge) is much more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook’s battery than the count of charge cycles. There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in specific. Frequent high depth of discharge rates (draining the battery very low) on a Lithium battery will hasten the lowering of maximum battery capacity.
All batteries in any device are a consumable meant to be replaced eventually after much time, even under perfect use conditions.
If the massive amount of data that exists on lithium batteries were to be condensed into a simplex, helpful, and memorable bit of information it would be:
1. While realistically a bit impractical during normal everyday use, a lithium battery's longevity and its chemistry's health is most happy swinging back and forth between 20% and 85% charge roughly.
2. Do not purposefully drain your battery very low (10% and less), and do not keep them charged often or always high (100%).
3. Lithium batteries do not like the following:
A: Deep discharges, as meaning roughly 10% or less on a frequent basis.
B: Rapid discharges as referring to energy intensive gaming on battery on a frequent basis (in which case while gaming, if possible, do same on power rather than battery). This is a minor consideration.
C: Constant inflation, as meaning always or most often on charge, and certainly not both in sleep mode and on charge always or often.

Should i shut down my imac

should i shut down my imac or leave it running all the time?

You should only shut it down when leaving the computer unattended for more than a few days or working inside the case. Otherwise, sleeping it is enough.

Should G5 shut down when it goes to sleep?

I bought this G5 on eBay for a song (and I've been singing ever since) . It came without a disk, no accesss to the password and they had taken the Airport Card out. (Specks say it comes with the APCard) Serves me right I guess. Anyhow, It has always shut down right after it goes to sleep. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I work between two computers and sometimes I don't get right back to it. Restarting all the time is a real annoyance.

OK, the answer to the main question is "no" it shouldn't shut down when it goes to sleep. I would first open the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences and make sure that you have the machine set to never go to sleep. Here is a Tiger screen shot of that panel:
That should solve your immediate problem. The particular settings work very well for me, allowing me to put the computer to sleep from the Apple menu when I am not going to be using it for a while. You might also want to take a look at the "Schedule,,," area in the energy saver panel, as in this picture, to see that nothing is selected there.
Now, if the machine actually shuts down when you command it to sleep, then there are other issues we can work on.

"Determining Song Volume"... then shuts down

I just bought a new computer with Vista, imported my library from my external hard drive (which I used to store all my music for my old computer) and my itunes shuts down after "Determining Song Volume" on the first few podcats. Any suggestions??

You need to disable the Sound Check function, which makes all the songs play at the same level. This is probably taking too much memory, and then crashing iTunes.
Sound Check can be disabled in Preferences > Playback Tab > untick "Sound Check" > OK.
This should fix your problem.

MacBook Pro stuck in sleep mode: can't restart or shut down, black screen

I'm running the latest version of Snow Leopard on my mid-2009 MacBook Pro Unibody. After installing the latest Software Update, including a Firmware update for my SuperDrive, the following problem has occurred, for the very first time:
I closed the lid of my laptop for the night, as I do routinely every night, thus putting my MBP to sleep. I leave the various apps open, usually Firefox, iTunes and Entourage. The next morning my MBP felt hot and the screen remained black... it would not change. After repeatedly trying and failing to clear the black screen and bring my apps up, I held the power button down to do a complete Shut Down. My system turned off, but did not do an actual Shut Down. When I press the power button to turn it on, it comes right back into sleep mode with the screen remaining black. I cannot seem to force either a Shut Down or a Restart. I unplugged all peripherals and the power cord, let my MBP cool down completely--for a couple of hours-- and tried everything again. Still no change: I'm stuck in sleep mode with a black screen. I've also tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC, but neither works, probably because I'm not coming from a Shut Down. Is anybody else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I think the problem must be somehow related to the latest update, but whatever it is, I'd like to resolve it.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't get into my system to see my update version, but I'm certain I'm running the most up-to-date version of Snow Leopard and all other latest updates applicable to my mid-2009 MBP, as I run Software Update routinely. I thoroughly completed all update installations, including the SuperDrive Firmware update, followed all instructions meticulously, including rebooting, and actually used my system for at least one full day without any problems. I'd even recently repaired all permissions. Everything was "humming" along very well. This problem came totally out of the blue. Because the screen is black, I can't actually see what's on it; however, I've put my MBP to sleep every night by closing the lid and it awakens in the morning when I raise the lid. This time the sleep light indicator is on, but nothing happens when I lift the lid, touch the track pad or a key. If I hold the power button down briefly, the sleep light goes out, but when I press the power button again, the light comes right back on. If I depress the power button for several seconds, to initiate a shutdown or restart, it simply shuts off the fan and refuses to completely shut down. This is evidenced by the fact that depressing the power button to start up brings the sleep light on very quickly. I can tell by the way the system sounds that it is on behind the blackened screen. Sorry I can't get you the update versions.
Thanks

Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

artbyval,
what is an “oils sue”?
Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.

Since downloading Firefox on a new Windows 8 PC I have issues with adds imbedded in websites and IE10 shutting down & not working properly.

Downloaded Firefox since several websites we use are not yet fully compatible with IE10. Since downloading IE10 will register a problem as soon as opened, shut down, then reopen to same page. Also have adds embedded in websites like Facebook that were not there previously, as well as popups from Firefox (Deal Caddy???) that I can't figure out how to disable. Also noticed that the two-finger scrolling in Windows 8 (when using IE10) no longer works correctly. These issues only exist for one of two users on this computer. The user that did not install Firefox does not have the above issues.

In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
#From the Firefox window click the Firefox button at the top left and select ''Add-ons'', or, if the Firefox button is not shown, click the ''Tools'' menu and click ''Add-ons''.
#Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
#You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
#To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the ''Remove'' button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
#Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:
[[Disable or remove Add-ons]]
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

Should I shut down or sleep my MBP 13"?

Hi, I have a general question. I just bought my MBP 13'' and I really want to take care of it since I bought it with sacrifice. I use my laptop pretty much everyday, should I just put it to sleep or shut it down? what's the best thing to do? Also, should I live it charging the entire time?

General answer is that you should run your MacBook on battery until it is almost out of charge, then fully charge it. Keeping it plugged into AC all the time is not recommended, but if you have a day here & there where you keep it plugged in, that's ok. Sometimes it's advisable to have it plugged in - for example, when projecting (PPTs, etc), watching video (DVDs, Netflix, etc) or doing installations or updates to software.
Regarding shutdown vs. sleep - generally, I'd advise shutting down when you are done for the day. It's amazing how many little gremlins disappear after a shutdown & restart.
