Trash not loading and I can't shut down.

I sent three items to trash, but it took unusually long, so I canceled it.
It has been loading for more then a week now and I can't normally shut down.
Can somebody help me?

Press and hold the power button down until the screen goes black to force your computer to shut down.

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

What does "Analyze audio for flex time editing" in Garage Band? It's taking so long(3 days)! and I can't shut down my pc.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? i've got the same issue.
I record 2 hour choir practices then edit the talking out to make more useful accompaniments for personal practice. During my editing process my MacBk Pro (0r GarageBand) decides it needs to "Analyzing audio for Flex Time Editing". It will finish doing it and immediately start over again. I can not cancel it so I just have to force quit Garageband and lose eveeryrthing I have editied since my last Save. I've shut my mac totally off and rebooted and to no avail. Any suggestions?

My update does'nt finish, and I can't shut down!

bought my n95 today, charged the battery for 10 hours, and then after talking to some friends decided to dowload the latest software.
Well, I did everything right. And suddenly my phone shut down, with fullcharged battery, and I just did as it said, and took out the battery, and pressed "retry",
and now the updating of the software has stopped. it's not updating!
I'm afraid to disconnect the cable, because the updates says that if I do do, my phone may stop working. And I can't shut down the update-window.. PLESE HELP ME SOMEONE? I just don't have time to bring my new phone in for service, so it HAS TO WORK! heeeeelp, PLEASE?

Hi xcarmen
Unfortunately that is just the worst time to get "phone recovery" message and it is highly likely that you will now have to visit a Nokia Care Point to have the software re-installed. Once the USB connection has been broken, Nokia Software Updater fails to recognize the attached device.
I am not saying that it would have made the slightest difference here, but you are advised in FAQ to NSU to plug-in mains charger when updating phone software.

Same here.
Can't be. This forum covers pre-2006 iMacs; MacBook Pros have a completely different architecture and therefore different issues. For Mail problems, the best place to post is in the forum for your OSX version from the list here:
Mac OS & System Software
BTW, my wife and I both use Apple mail and have not had any issues from about OSX 10.6 on. Admittedly, when Mail was introduced with OSX thirteen years ago, it had some real problems, but they seem to have been fixed.

Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

HT5361 The quit line in my mail application is not accessible and stops me from shutting down my computer (it displays a message saying that "mail has blocker shutdown"

? the quit option in my mail application is not accessible and stops me from shutting down. Does anyone know what is wrong? It started after my cable company installed a new router and modum.

Linda,
see the link on the right with the highlighted tick. In short click on the apple icon at top left and choose the wayward app from the 'force quit' dialogue. Another way is to put an icon in the dock for the Apple utility, "Activity Monitor". Set it to show all users processes and highlight that for the wayward app. The choose 'Quit Process'. BE CAREFUL, do not choose the low number processes which are fundamental operations for the whole OS.

If you've already chosen Shut Down from the Apple menu and it's hanging there indefinitely, press and hold the power button until it shuts off.

My air won't open mail and I can't shut down computer because I can't quit mail

My MacBook Air won't open mail. Now I can't shut down the computer because mail interrupts shutdown but I can't quit mail either

Try doing a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.

IMac freezes in mid application and then can't shut down or reboot

I have a iMac which is about 6 years old with 1 GB RAM, 60 GB hard drive and operating on OS 10.4.8 (Tiger). It has about 16 GB memory free as well.
It was running quite nicely until about 2 months ago and then had probems with it running slower and slower while completing applications, and finally it started freezing in mid application with the spinning beachball of death. The computer has to be shut down by pulling the power. Sometimes I can restart it with the power button and . But this latest time, it did not even start from the C drive with the OS X disc in place.
I tried the simple things like fixing permissions, and then I had tried re-loading Tiger both with archived files and also a clean install. Both times the machine worked beautifully for about a week and then would go through the same sequence, with slower processing time, and then the eventual terminal freeze up.
Any suggestions to salvage this machine? I did take it in to an Apple authorized dealer, where they backed up my files and did the clean install. But I don't have a diagnosis. Is the hard drive corrupted? Anything short of replacing the hard drive (which I am not capable of doing myself) or buying a new computer? I loved this iMac, it has an amazing screen, and despite its age was still a very neat machine. It would be great if there is a solution out there.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There is no such thing as a Mac OS X clean install as my FAQ explains:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
However, your machine is right at the age, or a little beyond where the clock battery may begin to die. This can cause slowdowns and other issues.
The hard drive could also be problematic, as some of these can die in less than a year, while others can last as long as a decade.
The more you install Dashboard widgets, the slower your machine will get, and that can cause problems too. See my FAQ on other slowdowns if neither of these seems to help:

I keep getting the error message 'Adobe Illustrator CS6 is not working and needs to be shut down' in Windoes 8.

How do I stop this? I have lost a LOT of work...

c,
It may be a range of different things, I am afraid.
You may try the list, unless someone comes up with something brighter.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Hey Zafer Pasha,
It sounds like you want to update the Apple stores and services that you've used with your previous Apple ID name with your secondary Apple ID. Check out the steps in this link to make sure that each store or service is using your current, desired Apple ID:

Iphoto has been importing photos for over an hour and i can't get it to stop. can't stop importing and can't shut down computer.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.

iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?
