Why does the loading circle come up in the blue screen when I shut down sometimes?

Sometimes when I shut down I get the usual blue screen, then the loading circle appears and the macbook doesn't shut down. I have to hold down the power button to shut it off, which I know is not a good thing. Can someone help me please???

Hi,
Do you usually Close All Open Apps before Shutting Down...?
Is there an External Hard Drive Connected...?
Usually the "Circle" represents the Mac 'Finishing Business...' before Shutting Down...
Hope this Helps,
Cheers,

Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down?

Why does my system hang on a blank software update screen after I shut down the computer?
This only happened after my computer attempted to download security update 2013-003 version 1.
I have an iMac with a 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running on OSX 10.7.5.
I repaired all disk permission, and then verified and fixed the disk.
My hardware diagnostics program gave all systems a green light.
After all this, the system still hangs.
This must be an operating system glitch.
How do I fix it?
If you tell me to reload the operating system, then I'll have to go retro with Snow Leopard.
All subsequent updates were purchased from Apple on the Internet and downloaded.

Not so. You use the recovery mode to reinstall Lion. Details in Recovery and About OS X Recovery. Also, see Computers using Internet Recovery.

Why does the blue bar when you're downloading go back to the start half way through?

When downloading half way through it restarts downloading I have waited over an hour and a half and still hasn't finished downloading, I have also tried restarting the iPad. Can someone please help me.

If you are trying to download via 3G there is a 20MB limit I think. You can download to iTunes on your computer and then sync to transfer the app. I don't have a 3G iPad but you may be able to download directly on the iPad with WiFi instead of 3G.

I'm trying to sign up for the photography creative cloud with lightroom 5 and photoshop. When I click on the "buy" button is takes me to the payment page, but my country changes from the U.S. to Argentina and the language changes also.
I've tried contacting Adobe, but they're ways of contacting them are a pain in the ***. The chat doesn't work and I'm on hold forever when I call.

With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?

With "Do Not Disturb" active, why does the iPhone beep when plug in for recharge?
I usually go to bed after my wife. I have the Do Not Disturb set for 11 pm to 7 am, and I can see the moon symbol.
So why when I go to bed at midnight and plug in my iPhone to recharge do I get a LOUD BEEP?
My wife is banning my phone from being next to my bed and an alarm clock.
To me it seems that the "Do Not Disturb" should turn this beep into a vibrate.

section2i:
If that is true, then you should file that as a bug using the link above:
If I am reading what you are saying correctly, you are saying that when vibrate is 'off', and you turn on the phone and plug it in that a vibration occurs, and that it is not respecting the vibrate 'off'.
That would be a slightly different issue from what I am asking about (Do Not Disturb), and would probably need a separate bug report.

USB - why does the MacBook react when in Sleep?

Why does the computer react to when something is inserted into the USB while in Sleep mode, when the lid is closed???
I'm simply reminding myself to put it back in, and have no intention of using the computer at that very moment, the lid is closed and I probably won't be using it for a little while.
So why does it do that? Why doesn't it stay asleep and then react to it when it is back on? Seems like a waste of power to me.

This is just the way it is. The computer doesn't read your intent so it sees something occur and has to try to wake up and allow the process to connect that device correctly. If it did not do this and you woke the computer after adding something that wasn't there before it could cause a problem. The computer wakes up expecting to see one thing and it's not there something else is in it's place. This could cause kernal panic.

Why does the computer reboot when I plug in my creative ZEN?

I have used this mp3 player in computers before. I am on a new computer. I installed the creative hardware, but the second I plug my mp3 player into the computer it reboots and won't load up until I unplug it again. I know it's not an issue with the USB port because I tried more than one and checked to make sure they worked with other things. Why won't the computer read the mp3 player without restarting?

More information:
The last event before it shuts down:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000050 (0xb5a9f897, 0x0000000, 0xf89788e4, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini08009-09.dmp.
Can I stop this "bugcheck" from happening again?

HELP! Can't get past the blue screen when booting up...

Hi,
Please can anyone help. I've searched the web and found possible causes of the fault but not a solution....
I upgraded my hardrive, used SuperDuper! to clone my drive, make it bootable etc then transferred the new drive to my Macbook Pro.
Now, every time a boot it up with my account set to auto login, it freezes on the blue screen. It doesn't go any further.
I've entered in Safemode, added a second 'Admin' account and set the login preferences to show the login window. Which allows me to log in as the second account holder. This works in normal mode, and then once logged in, i can switch accounts to my normal account.
This is the only way i can use my account.
I've looked at the fonts and used 'Font Doctor' to fix them. I can't seem to be able to fix my preferences (com.apple.programename.com), Onyx doesn't seem to fix it and i've no way of finding out if a preference file is causing this myself.
I've also done an OSX reinstall then software update. No good!
I've tried so many things as advised by various people online but it's clear to me that it's a) Account issue, b)Startup issue once logged in.
Please can anyone advise? I'm assuming that it's only related to my account, and that it's to do with the startup of the account...
I have OS X 10.6.8 on a macbook pro unibodied (1st gen, Aug 2008).

Logged in as main user... worked fine. Not sure what i did but it worked.
I had tried all other methods but non worked...

My Ipad is just over a year old. I just got a blue screen, then it shut down. I pushed the power and screen buttons together and it came back, but then went down again and now I can't get it to power up. Any suggestions.

Can anyone help with the blue screen I just got. Tried to power back up like one Apple user suggested by holding the power and screen button together, came back briefly, then shut down. Now nothing. Any help?

Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

Why does the welcome screen come up after PS CC 2014 launches?

Why does the terminal open when I try to install an application?

I just installed a software update, and I cannot install any applications without the bash Terminal opening up. I don't know what it does or how it works. Prior to the the OS X update, this issue never occurred, when I downloaded an application - it installed automatically. I would like things to install automatically since I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to code or bash or whatever. PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Why does the on-screen keyboard disappear once a Bluetooth device has been attached?

Once I've connected a bluetooth device to my ipad 2, the on-screen keyboard disappears and doesn't return until I re-start the ipad. I've tried this with both a bluetooth keyboard, as well as with a bluetooth pedal, which will do page up, page down, right and left arrows, etc.

Reset your phone , you wont lose anything. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

Why does the HP screen remain on so long when I boot up my computer? (It started this recently.)

When I first bought my HP Pavillion P6000 Series computer (Model No. 6680t), running Windows 7 64-bit, it booted up quickly. Recently, after downloading HP updates, the HP screen remains on for several minutes before Windows boots up. My questions: What is the computer doing while the HP screen is on, and How can I get around this delayed boot-up?

Hello,
I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates. The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website. Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed. The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)? Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?

Thanks,
