System preferences shuts down - iCloud and e-mail settings

When I try to look at my iCloud and e-mail/contacts/calendar settings system preferences "goes mad" and finally shuts down and report is sent to Apple. "Goes mad" = starts using ALL of my memory (8GB), fans full blast. If I just open system p... and work as I usually do on the computer 75% of the 8Gb is not in use = green.
icloud, e-mail, contacts and calendar works fine, its just the settings I can't get to.
Help anyone! Thanks

As far as I know, the things you can do with a RAW file are pretty much limited to processing it with photo editing software. You could use iPhoto and save it as a jpg file.

HT2490 My Software Updates, my System Preference, Shut Down, and Restart no longer show up when I click on the Apple Logo. What should I do to restore these things to my toolbar? I tried using a TM backup, but that didn't work. I need help!!!

Look, I have SERIOUS problems with my MacBook Pro, a computer that was given to me by Apple to replace a MacBook Pro that was defective from day one. Now this fabulous machine from Apple is totally messed up since the upgrade to Mavericks. I've talked with "Senior Advisors" until I'm blue in the face, but NOTHING fixes this machine. So can SOMEONE out there PLEASE HELP ME?
I live in rural Ireland, I cannot drive because I was in a coma at years ago (although I could drive if I had 10+ DUIs), I'm over two hours from the closest Apple Authorized Repair, I'm physical disablled and mobility impaired, and I'm terminallly ill. So from where I stand, I really don't have time to sit around and wait. It took Apple 11 months to sort out the problem with my original MacBook Pro; I don't HAVE 11 months to wait for this problem to be fixed, but I've been waiting now for over 2 months, and my death clock is ticking.
PLEASE HELP ME!!! TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE BECAUSE I'M DYING!!! Now is that clear enough for you, Apple?
Sincerely,
Kathleen Trevena-Ruane

Have you tried to erase your drive and reinstall the OS - you should use recoery (hold Command + R keys while restarting). Since the items in the menu bar are part of the system, a clean reinstall of the system should take care of it.
As it is dangerous to post private information in a public forum, I will ask the hosts to remove it.
FWIW, we are all other users here - you are not addressing Apple.

Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again? Suggestions?

You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Mail is open but it is frozen, being this the reason why you cannot open the Mail window. Press Alt, Command and Esc keys or go to  > Force Quit, select Mail and force quit it. Finally, you will be able to turn off or restart the MacBook

Problem with iCloud and E-mail set-up

I have been trying to set-up an iCloud e-mail account but keep getting the messages that it cannot set-up the account.
Problems from the iCloud control provide the message that I should use the e-mail preferences to set-up the account, the e-mail preferences provides the message that I should set-up iCloud account. The iCloud account has been set-up and the apple ID works well with other applications.
Not sure what the issue is?

Welcome to the Apple Community SupportLesley9119.
Go to system preferences > iCloud and uncheck Mail. Go to the Mail application and check that the account has disappeared, if not delete it. Go back to system preferences > iCloud and check mail.

Recently migrated from mobileme to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3. Any idea how to fix?

I recently upgraded to Lion and migrated my mobileme account to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3 new emails that don't appear as new anywhere. I found a previous article from a couple of years ago but it was no help. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try turning mail syncing off and on again in system preferences > iCloud.

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
I am running Yosemitie on a iMac.

How long are you leaving it on the charger?
Are you connecting it directly to an electrical outlet or trying to charge via USB? USB may not provide enough power to adequately charge the device if the battery is that low.
If none of that helps, then the only option would be a warranty replacement as either the battery or system board is bad.

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in
and will then boot up again without any errors.
I Have replace RAMS, Motherboard and Power Supply. I have check the Bio's and Power setting on the unit. there is no place to cause this issue.
Please help

Syamak,
You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from.
If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby.
If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
I hope this helps.

Mail shuts down when sending e-mail with large attachment

I am trying to send an e-mail with a zipped folder (468 MB) - but once I click send, the e-mail does not appear anywhere (ie.sent folders or outbox). Then, two minutes later, mail shuts down unexpectedly and a message asks me whether I'd like to 'reopen' or 'try again'.
I don't know whether this happens often or not, but I'd appreciate any help because I really need to send this e-mail some time today.
Thanks a lot,
George.

That happens to me all the tiem. I don't try anymore because I guess Mail just doesn't take large files like that. You should try sending it from your email provider on it's website, as you would without Mail or Outlook Express.

ICM7.5 - System is shutting down with a error message

Hi,
I have installed a ICM7.5 SPRAWLER in our Lab.All was working fine until yesterday, when I suddenly started receiving the below error
This system is shutting down. Please save all work in progress and log off.
Any unsaved changes will be lost.
This shutdown was initiated by LOGGERA-9a48f5 services..
Cisco systems. Inc, ICM Node Manager Manager shuting down system. To Cancel shutdown, run the stopshut utility
and the system shutsdown. I have not done any changes to the system.
Do you have any ideas what kind of an error is this and how to resolve this?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Srinivas

You need to check the log files - the .ems files - in the logger directory (maybe la\logfiles). You must use dumplog to examine these.
First look at the nm (Node Manager) log file to see why it is having trouble and which of the processes has errors and cannot be restarted. Then check the offending process. Maybe increase the trace to see your problem.
Maybe the configlogger cannot talk to SQL or something. I think you will see what the problem is quite easily. Maybe you will know how to fix it, but if not, come back here with some trace and ask again.
Regards,
Geoff

Shut down scripts and command is this possible in OS X

In OS 9 it was possible to install things like Apple Script in the ‘Shut Down’ folder and these would be executed when the computer was told shut down.
Is there such a possibility in OS X? I have some script I would like to be executed when the user hits shut down.
Thanks

OK V.K., I think I am getting in over my head.
in the article is says find this line in the ttys document:

So not sure how to make the changes it suggests

My imac shuts down unexpectedly and now a fan is running??

Hello,
I have been working on my iMac all morning and it shut down twice within a half hour and I had to press the start button on the back to get it going again. Now their is a loud fan running and I have no idea what is going on. Help much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi ebeugs,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac shut down unexpectedly, and the fan is running unusually fast or loud, you may need to reset the System Management Controller.
I recommend following this troubleshooting method:
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
If the iMac unexpectedly shuts down again, or the fan continues running unusually fast or loud, follow these steps:
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
You can find these steps and more information about resetting the SMC here:
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
