Why does FrontRow reboot my computer?

I have my Mac Mini hooked up to my TV and theater system, and every time I have Front Row running and switch to another input on the TV, it reboots my Mini. Why? Is this normal?

I have solved the problem by uninstalling Version 11 and replacing it with version 9.5.
From my internet research, I have found others having an issue with screen freezing.
Older versions do not do this
Thank you

Why does it say my computer is not authorized for apps installed my iPhone?

Why does this happen occasionally?
I just got home and sat down at my computer to work and plugged in my iPhone to charge and I got this nonsense message (and this has happened a few times in the past)
So I clicked on authorize and entered my apple ID. Then it gives me this message that makes me say "Duh!" (I've had this phone for over a year, plugging it into my computer every day, including earlier today just fine)
But the worst thing is that after I click OK on that message, it gives me the first message again! I'm forced to click on Don't Authorize or go around in an endless circle.
Please tell me what's going on . . . ?

I'm using OS X version 10.10.1
In my phone settings it says Version 8.1.2
Maybe there's some confusion because when I bought this iMac in 2011 the only other Apple device we already owned was my daughter's iPod, and we have plugged it in to this machine. But definitely by the time I got my iPhone in November 2013 I created my own Apple ID. There was great confusion at that time because of having two Apple IDs and I'm still confused.
But right now I have a worse problem so I'll be moving to my other thread (in which I wondered whether it's possible to revert to an older OS).

Why does my ipod and computer hate me?

Okay, i spent 2 weeks trying to get my ipod music INTO my itunes library. It worked! I was happy, lahdeedahdeedah. Then (of course) my computer crashed and i have had to get it reformated again. I kept all the papers that helped me get my ipod music into itunes from the last time, and i thought id just try to do it again! But it turns out, nothing will work! I think the problem lies in "My Computer". There is no "F" file ( where the ipod was) anymore! Putting the ipod into disk mode, does nothing in "My Computer". When the guy reformatted he must have erased my "F" file or something! I am at my wits end, please help if you can.
Chels'

As soon as I get back to school I got a virus and everything was gone. I thought I could do the same thing and use my ipod as a hard drive well at first I thought it was working and then my music disapeared. Now it isn't showing up on itunes or my ipod!!!! Am I a lost cause???? I even used a gift card to purchase $25 worth of songs can I still get those back because it is saying that I can't download them again. I AM NOT paying that money again. HELP PLEASE!!

Why does onyx make my computer funkier?!?

I was having problems with a slow computer and I was told to run onyx. I ran the weekly scripts and also had it verify and repair permissions (whatever that means) Then when I tried to restart it the darwin screen came up. I didn't know what to do so I hit escape. Seemingly it was on it's merry way to rebooting until it got to the blue screen that you get right before the usernames come up and it just stopped there. What should I do?!

Exactly why I tell everyone to backup before using any such utilities. Onyx is basically useful as a troubleshooter. It should never be used for general maintenance. Is your data backed up from prior to this event?

Why does a reboot set the modified-date of the server certificate?

I was inspecting my certificates and noticed that the certificate I use for my server had a modified date of Dec 12, whereas it was created around April of this year.
Dec 12 saw a reboot of my server and adding the `uptime` to the 'modified date' of the certificate gets me to 'now'. So, it seems a reboot sets the modified date of the server certificate. Can someone confirm this and does anybody know wht this is the case?

Yes, I found the same tricks but if I only set pereferred width. the result is not that I expected. so I use the following code to do it:
tc.setPreferredWidth(maxsize+5);
tc.setMaxWidth(maxsize+5);I don't know why must I add 5 point to display the string completely.

Why does Firefox comsume my computer when in Yahoo Mail

For the past week, something is effecting Firefox when in Yahoo Mail. It does not happen at any other web site.
# I do not allow automatic updates of any kind. No changes or additions (unless sneaky stealth attacks?) had been made to Firefox since update to version 12 in May. The only add-on I have is the Mozilla Archive Format, which I've been using for years.
# Windows and various security applications are up-to-date as of very recently.
# Several up-to-date anti-malware programs have found nothing on my computer.
# I tried Chrome and Opera. They do not have this problem, but I don't like either of them.
# I uninstalled Firefox, deleted everything related I could find, downloaded the current version (13) from Mozilla, installed, and rebuilt all my preferences. I got my bookmarks back by restoring from a bookmark backup. This changed nothing.
# I tried "Restart With Add-ons Disabled" in Firefox, but that did not help.
Firefox starts doing something very intensive once in Yahoo Mail. Sometimes it is in this state when it displays the first screen of mail boxes after I sign on. More often I can do a little bit of something, such as open a mail box or a single e-mail therein before the problem starts. From my perspective it starts this aberrant behavior just when I click on the next thing: open another e-mail; open a different mail box; delete an e-mail.
Normally while in Yahoo Mail, or at any other web site, Task Manager reports CUP usage at from 0% to 5%, occasionally a few percent more for a very brief flash. When this Yahoo Mail thing starts
# The CPU usage jumps to 25%, with occasional bursts up to 30+%. Task Manger shows it is due to the process firefox.exe*32.
# The browser will not respond to any controls. I can do nothing with the keyboard or mouse. No menu will open. This has never ended by itself.
# Task Manager reports the immediate drop of network activity to zero -- nothing going on over the phone line -- or so Windows thinks. Disconnecting the phone line does not release the browser or lower its CPU use.
# A few times the entire computer has locked. I have only been able to get out of it with the hardware reset button.
# Sometimes Firefox is totally unresponsive itself but I can cancel it via Task Manager.
# Sometimes the one and only thing in Firefox that responds is the "X" in the upper right hand corner. The browser screen disappears immediately.
# BUT, Task Manager shows the process firefox.exe*32 still running at 25% CPU. I can end said process with Task Manager, whereby CPU usage immediately drops to 0%, or somewhere close.
# Whatever is going on through Firefox prevents me from doing what I want -- and it seems probable that IT is doing something I don't want done, although I have not yet seen symptoms of that.
Where can I go from here?

Hi,
You can consider the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems Reset Firefox] feature via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information'''. If it is okay, you can then install the Mozilla Archive Format add-on.
If you have security software installed you can try to delete all existing entries for Firefox and its sub processes in the different configuration modules and try to fully trust/allow Firefox afresh. Even after network access is completed, Firefox would still need unlimited access to its disk cache/memory as well as its files. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Why does Reader crash my computer?

By crash I mean power off. No error messages, the computer shuts off immediately (no "window is shutting down", etc dialog box).
It started after I upgraded to X. I can open one pdf. If I open another one, or close it and reopen, the computer turns off.
I unintalled X and reinstalled version 9. Same problem.
I uninstalled 9, removed Reader from my registry (possible I missed something there), reinstalled 9; the problem persists.
Windows XP SP3, Dell Optiplex 360, Intel Core2 Duo 2.8 GHz E7400 processor, 2 GB RAM in case any of that matters
We have two other users who had the same problem with version 9. We pursued it at the time and hit dead ends.
It didn't happen to me until I upgraded to X. Now that it's happening to my computer it is a crisis .

I have solved the problem by uninstalling Version 11 and replacing it with version 9.5.
From my internet research, I have found others having an issue with screen freezing.

Why does Quicktime crash my computer? Windows 7 64 bit

So I like to edit videos and for my camera I need quicktime to view and import files. I got a new computer and whenever I open quicktime to do that, my computer lags a bit and then just crashes. It says that the card is not in the right drive (F) but it is in the F drive. It then slowly destroys my computer until it crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled too, it didn't work. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you resolve it?

Why does my Windows Vista computer say the wrong iPod Touch name? I have multiple iPod Touches and after updating one of them, Windows Explorer says they are all the same name now.

Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?
64 bit vista home premium.

iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

Why does my mac reboot on its own?

Why does my mac reboot on its own?

Oh den.thed... I saw your post this morning and I was so excited.... ran to the Mac and got to Energy Saver, and... the checkbox is already unchecked.
Long story, I'll make it short. Just got the Mac back after having the HDD replaced. (It stopped working after less than 500 hours.) This rebooting thing has been happening ever since I got the computer in 2010, and I was hoping it would coincidentally stop happening after having this crashed HDD replaced last week. No such luck. Still doing it, even after getting the computer back from Apple. Two of my kids have macbooks, have used the cr*p out of them, and have had very few problems (nothing big). I bought this Mac, to replace a dead Dell desktop that got very little use, and so far I am not sure I did the right thing. Really wish I could get this "automatic" rebooting thing fixed. (Reboots with no notice, while doing normal tasks - internet, word docs, etc.) Thanks again for your help. Let me know if I should try anything else.

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 3
Reset the PRAM.

Why does rebooting give devices different nodes in /dev?

I am using OS X 10.9.4, but this is an issue I've noticed on earlier OS versions. Currently I have an issue with a USB modem hooked up to my iMac (and I have a question that ties in, indirectly with this here), but I've noticed this with other devices.
I have one modem that is set up to receive faxes that is permanently assigned to /dev/cu.usbmodem0000001. It doesn't seem to ever change. When I first plugged in my new modem, it was /dev/cu.usbmodem2. (I had a crappy modem plugged in for a while - I think that was originally /dev/cu.usbmodem1.) I had to unplug it and when I plugged it back in it was /dev/cu.usbmodem3. When I saw this, I wanted to be sure it had changed and it wasn't my memory, so I unplugged it, waited, and plugged it in again and it was /dev/cu.usbmodem4.
I added it to my printers and faxes and thought nothing more about it, but then when I rebooted, my software couldn't find it, so I checked the files and found it as now /dev/cu.usbmodem1.
I would have thought the OS would keep track (using something like UUIDs) of the devices so they can be given the same node each time.
Why does OS X keep changing this around for the same device? Why does my one fax modem (same brand and model as the new one) always have the same device node and this newer modem have one that changes so easily? And is there anything I can do so this modem gets the same node each time it's plugged in or when the computer reboots?
I've asked this same question on Stack Exchange:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/138591/why-do-usb-devices-change-nodes- on-reboot

I may be getting old, and my eyesight isn't as good as it can be, but I can clearly see that in example 2 and 3 you are not dividing by 0.047. So example 2 and 3 are not the same operation as example 1. The outputs of example 2 and 3 are completely dependent on the signals you are getting. Have you actually looked at those? You are using dynamic data which regulars such as myself absolutely detest. Be that as it may, you should look at the values you are feeding into the operation. I don't understand what you mean by "I see post-divide values in the signal".

Why does Safari load each time I boot my computer?

I like Safari alot, but I don't like how it loads by default every time I reboot my computer. Why is it doing this and how can I stop it?
Thanks!

It starts up because you probably have it listed as a Login Item for your account. You can check that by opening System Preferences > Accounts and click on the Login Items tab and look for it. If you see it there, select it and click the minus button to get rid of it.
