How do you reboot a frozen mac book pro?

MacBooks should never be frozen as the defrosting process will leave moisture within the computer that will cause it to stop working.

Other possibilities (although we have no idea what you are asking about) is that some software has stopped working. If you click on the frozen software's icon in the dock and hold the mouse button down for a moment a menu should pop up with the option to "Force Quit". Take that option. If that menu is unaccessible then holding down the Command (cmd), Option (alt) and Escape (esc) keys will open a Force Quit window from which you can select an unresponsive application and force it to quit.


If the computer is refusing to start up at all insert the Mac OS X installation disc. Switch on the computer and hold the C key down while the computer starts up. This will cause the computer to start from the installation disc rather than it's hard disc. From the desktop select tools/utilities and open Disk Utility. You can check the hard disc to see if there are any problems with that that may be causing the failure.


Otherwise it will probably mean a trip to a repair shop to have it checked and fixed.

It's happened to me quite a few times. That song was once playable, but now when you try and play it an exclamation point appears beside it and it just won't play.

Maybe you deleted a program you once used to get the songs, or you deleted the song elsewhere in your computer without knowing.

How many songs can a thirty GB hold?

My 30gb video Ipod has 27.8 GB of audio capacity(2.2 GB are used for the operating system). So then on average each mp3 or music file is about 3.5MB. This would equal about 7942. If you use better quality audio(I.E. Higher Bit rate) your files will be bigger and this number will drop.

On my IPOD I can only get about 5900 songs because I have 2 music videos and one 30 minute Paris Hilton "music" video. So it looks like the math is close. Its been enough portable music for me for the last 5 years.

What are some of the best rated software programs for Mac according to PC World magazine?

Macs can use a 2 different softwares. Mac OS X is what is used for computers from 1999 on. Mind you- the first version of Mac OS X was made around the time that Mac OS 8 had come out. And then there's Mac OS. Now that's what you call "primitive". Mac OS was different from most other computers. It actually had a graphical interface, and it actually came with a mouse and keyboard. Mac OS started in 1984, then ended in 2001. If you actually use a modern-day Mac, you'll never see Mac OS in your life.
