When i started my iMac it made a horn sound, i wondered what that was.

I had been on vacation for a couple of weeks and started the iMac. It made a sound, i thought it was because i held the button to long, but it started ok, i was just wondering what the sound was all about?

That's a possibility. However, do you now hear the horn blast every time you start from a cold boot?

Good Day,
When I start my iMac it turns green at startup, but for a short while, is this normal or I have to do some update to rectify this issue.

Good that you can get to it through TB. Use that connection to delete some files you no longer need so you will have room to boot the system and/or resintall the system.
You can also try booting in Safe Mode. That sometimes willl clear up enough disk space so it willl boot and then you can delete some files from there.

If that won't work there are other remedies that take more work. Post back.

When I started my iMac, I could move my mouse cursor but I could not clik. Following some advices from the discussion board, I did run the safe mode. Nothing changed. Hence I could not log in. Need help, please.

I am using an Apple Magic Mouse and up to yesterday there was no problem.
This morning when I logged in, I got a note that my trackpad battery is low.
I tried to close that notice, failed. I tried open finder, fail. I could move my cursor but could not clik. I turned off.
Now here I am.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your program", while I don't have one running at that time. What is the problem?

When I start mozilla firefox web browser, sometimes I see a message saying that "a Mozilla Firefox is already running, please close it or restart your system". As a matter of fact, there is no firefox browser running at that time. Since I cannot do anything about it, I have to restart my computer before I can use the web browser, which bothers me dearly. What is the problem?

Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting to close Firefox. The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window, it does not necessarily close Firefox .
'''The only proper way to exit Firefox is to use Exit through the File menu''', not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
''Menus hidden: then use Alt+F then X.''
'''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support ''(some extensions cause a problem)''
* http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "Processes"
tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
"'''Restartless Restart'''" extension for Firefox 4.0 only (2 KB download )
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/249342/
use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching
to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry
about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Uses keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.
'''Windows 7''' users can use '''Ctrl+Shift+Esc''' to get to the Windows Task Manager quicker than starting with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

You don't have privilege to write to your harddisk

Yesterday when I turned on my iPad there was icon that ask do I want to upgrade IOS well I didn't know what that was so I said yes . Well every since my iPad gas gone crazy . When I go to a send button it keeps showing the copy and paste icon over the button . Today I was sending a phone load to friend . It was a $3.85 load . But button kept showing that stupid copy and paste icon so I kept pushing the button . Well I ended up sending $3.85 three times . How do I get the upgrades out or how do I fix my iPad ?

What does this have to do with iPhones much less using them in an Enterprise environment?
Try posting to the correct forum.
