Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..

Why does my iMac display go off when I am starting up or waking up my machine from sleep..?
When my iMac goes to sleep I then later try to click the magic track pad or keyboard and it will usually then show the initial password entry login screen and then go off. The machine is still on but the display is black and will sometimes flash up the screen again if I press the magic track pad or keyboard but will then black out again..

Well, there are many different reasons why it does this. It might shut off due to power voltage problems, system overheats, or there is a System Problem. The reason it might be hard to boot up is because your power button might not work properly or your system hard drive is damaged.

Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps?

Why does my iPod keep on crashing when I run high memory apps? I have a 32 gb 4th gen iPod Touch with only 11gb used, and I currently run 6.1.5 Everytime I run a high memory app, without fail it crashes. These apps include but are not limited to instagram, infinity blade, subway surfer, gmail, clear vision 3, dropbox, and even Safari has crashed on multiple occasions. I tried resetting the settings and that seemed to work for about a day but now I'm back at square one.

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

My iMac 2010 27" makes low noises EXCEPT when scrolling with my magic mouse.

It's like a low static electric noise but it stops when I scroll webpages and such with my magic mouse.

It's coming from inside the iMac and turning down/mute-ing doesn't change it and neither does it stop when I plug in headphones. It doesn't stop when I turn off the built in monitor.
The batteries are ok and no phone around. The sound is not like an interference sound. It's more like the sound the harddrive makes except not as loud and higher pitch (i guess).
The sound has been for a while. More than a month but not since I bought it.
Thanks for your reply!

Why does my iMac not shut down when I try to shut it down?

Wh does my iMac not shut down, or restart when I try to do either. It just sits there with the little loading circle continuously moving. The only way I can shut it down is if I hold down the power button to shut it down. Can anyone tell me why this is?
Thanks!

Open your Activity Monitor and check to see what is running?
If there is some important Process running, then it is better to wait until it has finished instead of cutting the power and corrupting who knows what?
If there is nothing important running, then follow the instructions in the link below for resetting the SMC.

Why does Acrobat CC lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

Why does Acrobat lag and jerk when reading pdf's?

Thanks, But
3.4GHz i7, NV GTX 680MX 2GB card, 32GB DDR3 ram, 3tb Solid state/spin hybrid hard drive.
I don't think it lacks grunt.
Using big files in photoshop no problems.
The lag is less pronounced if single page is selected in page layout but the problen still exists. It just snaps from page to page and I can't scroll smoothly.
There is no option for 'hardware accelerated page display'
No problem scrolling pdf in a browser, only if the pdf file is downloaded into this computer.
The problem is in Acrobat.
any ideas

Why does "export as a catalog" crash when following directions?

These are my steps: I select a set of folders, then all the photos, then "export as a catalog", choosing to export "smart Previews", and not "export negative files". The process starts off fine with a flash window saying so, followed by the upper left progress bars tooting along. Unfortunately, after a while the screen says Lightroom has crashed. I restart Lightroom and then immediately close Lightroom with an integrity check and catalog optimization each time and get no warnings about problems. Have followed the procedure four times, with identical results, twice after a complete reboot. In short, "export as a catalog' fails catastrophically, not politely.
My computer setup: LR 5.7, Windows 8.1 x64, 32GB of memory, latest Intel chip, OS on SSD, saving (trying to export to) to large, on same SATA controller, mechanical drive. Hoping to eventually save to USB 3 drive. Windows Resource Monitor shows "free" memory at all points in the process. Have second SSD for camera Raw cache fwiw.
Lightroom status: LR catalog has ~110,000 photos. Successfully created "Smart Previews" for all photos before trying the Export as a Catalog process. About 20% of the 110,000 photos are from Nikon D800 and are RAW/DNG, thus large. The size of the "negative files" is about 1.8TB. The size of the Smart previews catalog is 109GB.
Other, probably related problems: When I select (control A) the 110,000 photos, LR becomes very sluggish. Click selecting the menu has erratic and delayed selection. Eventually, I am able to select the menu items and initiate the "export as a catalog." Otherwise, everything operates "normally."
My concern is that it appears that Lightroom cannot handle 110,000 photos, but I am hoping that some other explanation might exist.

Rikk,
The basis if my question is this: Adobe touted "Smart Previews" as a super new means by which one could edit/rate/keyword photos without needing the hardware associated with handleing the "negatives files".
My goal is to export my photos (smart previews) and let my wife rate and keyword the photos on her own computer. The Smart Previews version of my 1800 photos database (which is over 1800GB) is only 109GB. This can easily be handled with a USB 3 drive (and perhaps even a SSD one!).
Each time I "export to catalog" to gain this (advertised) functionality, Lightroom crashes. If you or someone else has done an "export as a catalog" of a total database, with a photo database this large, then perhaps I should suspect my setup. Or, perhaps there is some other explination?

Why does system suite pro 12 crash when running file cleaner is running while firefox is installed? If I uninstall firefox then system suite pro 12 won't crash.

When I downloaded the newest version of firefox system suite pro 12 crashes when running file cleaner after I uninstall firefox system suite pro 12 doesn't crash. I have window 7 premium home edition 64 bit.

You should know a few things before before getting started:
1. Registry "cleaners" and "system optimizers" like SystemSuite are very unreliable, cause more problems then they propose to fix, have little to no benefit, and are somewhat of a scam. Running them on a system is almost guaranteeing a crash or hiccups somewhere along the process. running them is never a good idea. all you need is a good, simple, free anti-virus (like Microsoft Security Essentials), and use the built in Windows Utilities to clean and sped up your computer if needed.
2. This is a Firefox forum, so if you are having a problem with SystemSuite, we might not be able to help you.
I'll give you a few things you can do to see if this is just a Windows problem:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Plus, I'd strongly recommend removing systemsuite and any other "optimizers" you might have.
