MacBook Pro froze access to iCloud tent and now I can not turn off my computer

I am writing this note on a computer that has locked me out of cold button Poweroff or reboot. My system preferences requested my password, I entered, press "Sign In" and he currently "try to connect" for about 15 minutes now.  I tried clicking Apple-> restart, ctrl + alt + delete and the power button. My computer does not restart, saying that preferences system interrupted stop down. But I can't quit System preferences. My questions are twofold:

(1) how to turn off my computer and restart it?

(2) how do I remove this computer iCloud? Or at least prevent it from connect to iCloud? It never worked and it just bugs the heck out of me.

To force the closing down, hold the power button until the screen goes black. You may well find that the connection attempt is not reappear on a restart; You should if you want to be able to go to system preferences > iCloud and click on disconnect.

    So after encryption of files I had to reinstall my windows (changed the name of the owner) and now I can not decrypt the file

    After attempting to decrypt the files, I'm promped with this message:

    An error occurred applying attributes to the file:

    Access is denied. \

    I want to say that I added my administrator name in the Security tab, and then gave me full control over the files, but that did not work.

    Hello

    I understand that you cannot decrypt files previously encrypted in Windows 7 after you have reinstalled Windows.

    • What program did you use to encrypt the files?

    From now on, I would ask you to refer to similar questions discussed in the thread below links and check the status.

  • I've just updated to the latest version and now I can not manually type in the URL. I can't get to a new page if I click on a link.

    I've just updated to the latest version of Firefox 32.0.3 today and now I can not manually type in the URL. I can't get to a new page if I click on a link. I had to use - gasp - Chrome just to get to this help page!

    I tried to restart Firefox.
    I can type (not a keyboard problem), but the browser never tries to go to URL, when I hit enter

    Any ideas?

    Thanks - kept looking around and found a rec to make a reset of Firefox. This seems to have worked.

  • I update my Firefox latest version 32.0, and now I can not upload anythink, can you help me

    I think that last week, I update my Firefox latest version 32.0, and now I can not upload anythink, can you help me - in more detailed - when I try to download a file and save it to my pc it remains on 99%, write the time unknown and not donwload, that is even if I try to open and file - means 'open' clieck not records. I try with different brouzer and quote different and everythink work very well. Problem is only on firefox. I try and that "in the address bar, type about: config and press ENTER." The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
    Click on I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about: config page. A list of parameters must appear
    Filter the list by typing in the search bar at top. Enter scanWhenDone. Now you should find the preference "browser.download.scanWhenDone".
    Double-click this preference to set the value to false. "
    But still a problem.

    It's the recent9 b 32.0 and it has been fixed and will be in the build 32.0 then, probably the RC1 build 32.0 if normally such a fix would be a beta version as 32.0b10. The release is Tuesday next so little time. Type of topic: config location bar (address) and you can try to change the empty value of browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL in the meantime.
