• iMac will not close with menu Apple

  I can no longer stop or restart my iMac by selecting Apple menu, only the power button. I know that this is not preferable, I get the message that I have 'stop because of a problem' whenever I restart with the open the last known windows option. I use El Capitan 10.11.6 on a w/2.8 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz 2007 iMac and a disc SSD of Crucial from 2 TB to address 4 - months old. I have read many other threads and found no match to this problem. I have nothing of freezing. I did a check of HD with disk utility, and no not found errors. I always have to close open programs before you shut down, and Activity Monitor shows no CPU hogs in action before you try to stop. Other that auto update for various programs the only thing I added in the past two weeks when it started is Dropbox and go to the meeting, the two needed for a project. I returned and eliminated those when the work has been done, still have the problem. Run the paid version of ClamXav, up-to-date and the last scan revealed files without problem. I would try a restore to a previous setting, but just by chance my WD My Book crashed and I had to reformat so nothing to fall back on.

• Web sites will not close. How can I force them? Cannot close their or firefox.

  I have three tabs that will not close or allow me to close firefox.

  Start Firefox in Mode safe to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  To turn on safe mode

  • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
  • Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  If it works in Mode safe mode and normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) off and then try to find which extension is the cause by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit ' (Windows: Firefox/file > quit;) Mac: ' Firefox > quit Firefox. " Linux: "Firefox/file > exit ')

  Problem with the cord/charge plug unit... is very loose and since I bought it. It takes an extraordinary amount of time to load. Is it defective?

  According to the description of the connection of the power supply or you have a problem with the power outlet (perhaps folded ut of shape enough to cause free adjustment) or Charger (connection flashing in-house, exit misfeed or simply that bad). If I was in your position I would take back and get one without load problems. You can send it through Acer support and they will fix it for you, but back to the seller will be faster.
