I am new to Macs and am very very impressed with my Macbook.
However, I have encountered a problem. A program called stuffit failed to run properly so I took the cancel option. It has now hung and wont close down- continually promising that it is doing so. When I try to reboot the Mac is says that stuffit expander has cancelled a restart. Is there an equivalent in the windows alt-control-delete which will force stuffit to close? I have tried shift-command-Q and shift-Option-command-Q but neither will work. Any help would be appreciated. Paul

Paul command-option-esc will bring up a task list that you may be able to quit from there. also holding the power button for 5 sec. will shut it down. -------------------- |

Its all a learning curve, but I knew Mac would have a solution. |

DELETE STUFFFIT OFF YOUR COMPUTER
REset it Hold down Apple option P and R at the same time let your system ring 3 times (if it chimes two thats fine as long as u get adleast 2 chimes) then it will reset to default ....pram then do a scan disk in disk utility if that doesn't fix it Back your system up and reinstall all and not put on stuffit cheers |
