What do you do if the mac does not respond, frozen on one screen?

Any ideas?

Is this a network problems as that's the forum in which you posted?
To restart the computer press and hold the Power button until the computer shuts down. Then do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Quit the installer and restart the computer.
If there's more to your problem then you need to provide a more complete description.

  • My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

    I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

  • What do you do if your iPod does not have a serial number?

    What do you do if your iPod does not have a serial number?

    Have you tried restoring to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes?
    Are yo the original owner and have never jailbroke the iPod?
    Does the iPod work OK?
    The warranty is also void:
    if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product.

    Hi,
    If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
    However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

    Safari Problems
    Safari - Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • 09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted

    09 I Mac goes asleep ends up with a spinning disk on the screen and the mac will not respond has to be rebooted

    First this:
    In EnergySaver deselect "put the hard disk to sleep when possible". You must logout after the setting to make this effective.
    This probably will not solve it, but let it be deselected.
    When the issue is still there:
    Open Terminal;
    copy/paste following command (after every command hit "enter" key)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    when the answer is not 3 write it down;
    then copy/paste following command
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    reboot
    Open Terminal;
    copy/paste following command
    sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
    after that type EXIT in Terminal and close Terminal.
    This does following for you:
    it will set the hibernatemode to zero: the sleepimage (a copy of the complete ram) will not be written and the space on the HD is freed up.
    This sleepimage does not do anything for you but taking time at sleep/hibernate and startup. It is an old remnant of earlier days.

  • I need to run web based Microsoft CRM. I open it in Safari but the program does not respond. I suppose it has to do with Flash or ActiveX. Can someone help?

    What does the product developer say about system requirements? If it needs to be run from within Internet Explorer then you'll need to find a way to run Internet Explorer. Boot Camp or VM installation of Windows would be two options.
    But first check the product requirements.

  • Why is it that when i am receiving a call the phone does not respond to my finger touch?

    Why is it that when i am receiving a call the phone does not respond to my finger touch?

    If the photos that you have on your iPad came from a different computer that may be why you are getting that message. If you have photos from a previous sync with iTunes you must make sure that you have those photos selected to sync again.
    In the photo below, I have a checkmark next to sync photos. The folder from which the photos are syncing is iPhoto on my Mac. You can also see that I have clicked - selected albums, events, and faces automatically. These events, albums, etc will sync every time the way I have this set up.
    I can also add new events or albums when I sync if I choose to do so. You have to select the other albums, events, etc. that you want to sync by putting a checkmark in the box next to the event and then click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes and they will transfer to your iPad.

  • Trial Version of elements 13 running on latest IMac 27 inch.  Move the mouse and it is time out.  Doesn't matter where on the window the mouse is. The program does not respond quickly at all. Takes ages to do anything with it.  Any suggestions?

    I am running a trial version of Elements 13 on the latest IMac 27 inch.  Any move of the mouse and it is time out.  Doesn't matter if the mouse is trying to do an edit or just moving across the window.  The program does not respond very well at all.  I am wondering now if I should bother purchasing the program. 

    How much ram do you have? Did you recently import a bunch of photos into the organizer? PSE will be slow till it's through cataloguing them, which can take some time for large number of images.

  • Mac does not boot past white loading screen and disk cannot be repaired?

    So when I turn on my Macbook Pro and it does not boot past a white screen with the Apple logo, loading wheel and progress bar. When the progress bar completes, the Macbook shuts down and when I open it again the cycle is repeated. I have opened it in Safe mode and it still showed the same thing. So I opened it in Recovery Mode and had Disk Utility verify and repair Macintosh HD. As it turns out, Disk Utility said Macintosh HD is beyond repair and I need to back up my files and reformat the whole Mac. Unfortunately, I have never used Time Machine since I started using the Mac and I obviously cannot use it now since startup does not even get past the white screen.
    How do I reformat the Mac when it does not even go beyond the white screen during startup? My Mac did not come with any recovery or installation disks. Are my unbacked up files gone for good?
    Thanks.

    Since you are able to get into Recovery Mode (Command+R), you can erase/format your Mac via Disk Utility.
    Your files/data might be OK. One way to get your data off since you have no back up would be to have another Mac and connect the two via a Thunderbolt cable or even an ethernet cable (I think), then restart your 'bad' Mac into Target Mode by restarting and pressing the T key. Then go onto the 'good' Mac and see if you can copy the data files you want over to it.
