Why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

Why can i not play blu rays on my iMac?

Why can i not play my blu rays on my imac?

If you want to download VLC, try this direct site:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
The other site throws up a caution and I do trust WOT to keep my Mac safe (here is a screenshot of the warning I got):
Here is an interesting article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/2042431/watch-and-rip-blu-ray-movies-on-your-mac .html
It does mention VLC, but only if you copy it first which, according to the ToU of these forums, we are not allowed to discuss here as it circumvents copyright protection. In any case, you'd still need a BR player.

Why can I not insert a signature in Adobe Reader XI

I can no longer insert my signature or text in Adobe Reader. I am using XI. The Sign option does not appear on the toolbar and is not available to add when I right click on the toolbar. Help! I use this feature often.

Hi cloeolveigh,
You need to have Reader extended form and then you will be able to do it:: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/standard/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7 e0d.w.html

Why can you not insert Objects in List in natural order?

This is a more theoretically question:
I need a dynamic structure to sample informations in a natural order ( by implementing the Comparable-Interface). Set and Map offers natural order but I can't use them (Set-elements are unique and I don't want to implement a <key><value> relationsship for Map).
Are there others solutions than to add the elements in a List in natural order hand made?
Thanks !

Here's a Collection implementation that ensures all elements are allways ordered.
It can be improved for speed, and maybe functionality, but the important thing is that it doesn't break the Collection interface and it's simple.
Have a look and maybe base your implementation on this one.
import java.util.*;
public class SortedCollection
    extends AbstractCollection
    implements Collection {
    private List elements;
    private Comparator comparator;
    public SortedCollection() {
        this.elements = new ArrayList();
    public SortedCollection(Comparator comparator) {
        this();
        this.comparator = comparator;
    public Iterator iterator() {
        return this.elements.iterator();
    public int size() {
        return this.elements.size();
    private void resort() {
        if (this.comparator == null) {
            Collections.sort(this.elements);
        } else {
            Collections.sort(this.elements, this.comparator);
    public boolean add(Object object) {
        boolean answer = this.elements.add(object);
        this.resort();
        return answer;
    public boolean addAll(Collection collection) {
        boolean answer = this.elements.addAll(collection);
        this.resort();
        return answer;
}

In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div'?

In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool. Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

Complaint: Why can I not download a Windows 8.1 ISO on Mac?

Hello,
I have been sent here by you customer service team to make a complaint.
I have recently purchased Windows 8.1 pro student as a download. I need this for university and was planning on boot camping my mac to do this. I am told the only way to download this product is with a windows machine. I have tried at work but need administrator
privileges also.
This is simply a ridiculous system that you need the operating system that you are downloading to make the download occur. You should be able to download an iso file or the like. I have ordered a backup media (obviously at my expense).
The customer service people I spoke to were very unhelpful. Also this process of complaints is poor. Why can i not talk to someone re a complaint?
Regards
James

Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

Why can I not print a PDF from an email?

Why can I not print a PDF from an email any longer?

Can you explain in better detail?
Is it when you open the file attachment and attempt to Print?
Is it right-mouse clicking and attempting to Print?
Is it when you print the email itself and expect the attachment to Print?

Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

Apple is great!
Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get? Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC. I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off. Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage. I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging. Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on. What happened to regular MMS text messaging? I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program. I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.

The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.

Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.
