I got my Macbook Pro hard stop. How will I know if anything has corrupted?

Completely new to this, but I had a glance through different threads and that you did not find the answer I'm after.

So, as you can see in the title, I had a problem recently where an application on my Macbook brand new exit. The window disappears, but the icon of the application does not close on my dock. I tried to force him to quit the app that does not work, and I couldn't restart / shut down my because all applications had to be closed if the end I trained performing a hard stop on my Macbook. I had to do it twice now.

Now, I have discovered the "activity monitor" and > Terminal methods to kill apps (still yet to test this on a frozen app), but I just wanted to ask if there was a way to see the damage that has been done on the 2 hard stops I made? I have transferred all my music and pictures above a hard drive and don't want to find one of these corrupt. However, I didn't have iTunes, photo, all the folders etc open so would like to think that nothing has been corrupted... Easier to think that well!

Any comments silently appreciated - thank you

Just to be on the safe side and avoid any corruption of the disk, whenever I had to make a hard stop, I reboot in Recovery Mode and make a record of first aid with disk on the device and volume utility.

If you are using a version of OS X prior to El Capitan, it is called repair disc and repair disk permissions.

  • need help on history, recycle bin and cookies: how will I know what someone has done on my laptop?

    I would like to learn more about history on my computer vista laptop microsoft and more on maybe the trash and or cookies. For example, someone else used my laptop last night and delete everything that he was looking at or for then how can I know what it was?

    Assuming that it has not been removed, you can view the history of visited web sites by clicking on the Favorites button, click the history tab.

    The only things in the trash are files or folders that have been removed from the system (no evidence they have been read or something like that).

    Cookies will not tell you anything either because they are terms in the code and you can not tell what web site they belong - no good for tracking not web history (and they apply only to the history of the web).

    You can view the Start / recent items to display some of the files which were recently seen (assuming that the list has not been removed).  That may help some.  You can also go to C:\Users\\Recent for a longer list of recently accessed files (as long as you know the user name).

    There is actually very little that you can do with hindsight to see what anyone seen or done on your computer.

    If you want to implement such a procedure, use the Parental http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls control and activity reports control Parentalhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls-activity-reports.  Do this for each account you want to track.  Then you can check what you wish now that you could check.

    I hope this helps.

  • I got a macbook pro.

    I got a macbook pro.  the security team where I found it wouldn't take it. has given support apple serial number and my details so owner called. What can we do?

    Hello

    It's nice of you to try to find the owner of a lost device, I'm sure they'll really appreciate it if you can find them.

    There are two pieces of advice that I can give you:

    1. make sure that the computer is loaded and bring back where you found it. If you're lucky, the active owner find my Mac and the device connects to a Wi - Fi network, they used previously.

    2 tell the local police on this matter. It is possible for the owner of the MBP has already communicated with them and gave them the serial number of the computer where it is located.

    Good luck!

  • Just bought a new MacBook pro to replace my old PC.  I have 4 LR on disk and LR 5 upgrade disk and need to know how to load LR on my new Macbook Pro.  Also how can I transfer photos?

    I'm not very good with computers and need help.  My 4 LR and LR 5 upgrade are on the disc, but do not use my new MacBook Pro drive.  How can I load LR on my new computer?  Also, how to make photos of LR on my old computer to the new computer?

    You can download Lightroom via the link below.  If you just want to install the upgrade version 5 that you don't need to install first - 4 you probably just provide the serial number for this, when you activate 5.

    Also, I had to install the software twice on my computer before because I had to restart the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two facilities activated, so it shouldn't be a problem with facilities to work on both machines.  If by chance you somehow tied up two activations for a machine you can have Adobe support help solve this cat thrue.

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.

    Yes, your single-user license allows up to two simultaneous installations, activations.

    to install and activate a third you would need to disable (help > deactivate) on one of the other two.
