Grey message popping up telling me to shut down immediately?

Hi All,
This message has only started popping up in the last month. Basically this grey and white message tells me that I need to shut down immediately by holding the power button (in many languages too!). Everything else is disabled and the only thing I can do is "shut down". This isn't a major problem, but want to know if there is something somewhere else that is contributing to this and is it something I should be concerned about??
Many thanks in advance.

  • My ibook keeps telling me to shut down

    i have an ibook g4 which ive had for about 4 years, and starting just recently a gray screen will pop up telling me to shut down. The screen is gray with a large power button watermark in the background, It says "you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button". it is then repeated in 3 different languages. Once I have restarted my computer a window pops up saying " the computer was restarted after mac OS X quite unexpectedly, click report to see more details or send a report to apple. If i click on report nothing happens, it only lets me click ok. This happens very frequently and usually when im online, but not all the time.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this problem from happening?

    Try shutting off Airport and connecting to your router via Ethernet for a while. Does this help?
    What you're seeing is a Kernel Panic; these are often caused by hardware issues. With the iBooks, RAM and the Airport card are two of the most common culprits.

  • Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    Since I downloaded iTunes 11, I get a message when syncing my iPod that some of my songs were not copied because they are not authorized on this computer,  I go to Store> Authorize This Computer, a message pops up telling me that this computer is already.

    So I am unclear, did you purchase these songs or import them from a cd?
    If you imported them and still have the CD try importing them again and see if they work the delete the others.
    Or if you purchased from itunes re-dowwnload and see if they work. Maybe they are corrupted files and this should resove it.

  • I'm getting an error message telling me to shut down my G5 OS X 10.5.8. this happens as much as twice a day. do i have a virus or malware?

    i'm getting an error message telling me to shut down my G5 OS X 10.5.8. this happens as much as twice a day. do i have a virus or malware?

    Is the screen in multiple languages saying to restart? If so, it's a kernel panic. It's highly unlikely you have a virus or malware.
    Kernel panics are usually caused by a hardware problem – frequently RAM, a USB device or a Firewire device. What external devices do you have connected? When trying to troubleshoot problems, disconnect all external devices except your monitor, keyboard and mouse. Do you experience the same problems?
    To eliminate RAM being the problem, Look at this link: Testing RAM @ http://guides.macrumors.com/Testing_RAM Then download & use Memtest & Ramber.
    Do you have an Apple Hardware Test disc (the AHT is on the Install/Restore DVD that came with your Mac)? Running the Apple Hardware Test in Loop Mode is an excellent troubleshooting step for finding intermittent hardware problems. It is especially useful when troubleshooting intermittent kernel panics. If Loop Mode is supported by the version of the Apple Hardware Test you are using, you run the Extended Test in Loop Mode by pressing Control-L before starting the test. Looping On should appear in the right window. Then click the Extended Test button.The test will run continuously until a problem is found. If a problem is found, the test will cease to loop, indicating the problem it found. If the test fails, be sure to write down the exact message associated with the failure.In some cases, RAM problems did not show up until nearly 40 loops, so give it a good run.
    May be a solution on one of these links.

  • On shut down I get a window that says Continue the installation Choose abort if you wish to cancel the installation If I don't press anything or if I press Yes or Abort the message goes away and the computer shuts down.  This has been going on for ov

    I have a 27" iMac mid 2011 2.7 GHz intel core i5 with OS 10.10.1.  For about the last month when I shut down I get a window that says "Continue the installation Choose abort if you wish to cancel the installation  ABORT   YES".   If I don't press anything or if I choose ABORT or Yes the message goes away and the computer shuts down.  But the next time I use the computer and then shut down the message is back.  I have looked to see if there are any downloads pending or if there are any updates trying to download.  I am very puzzled.

  • TS1717 iTunes shuts down immediately after opening (Windows 7)

    I'm having trouble with iTunes shutting down immediately after opening. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime, but I'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions? I have a 64 bit version of Windows 7, and the iTunes installer file has "64" in the name, so I think it's a 64 bit version as well.

    Do you get an error message when iTunes shuts down? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • T400s shuts down immediately when pressing the power button

    This morning, my T400s will not turn on.
    With the power supply, it will not turn on at all.

  • MBP Shuts down immediately when put to sleep

    Hi all,
    When I either close the lid on my MacBook Pro or put it into sleep mode, or let it go into sleep mode on its own [overnight], it will shut down immediately with no warning. I've searched high and low to solutions to this problem. I've reset the SMC, no luck.
    Help?
    Matt

    Hi Matt
    Does it shut down so you have to boot from nothing, or does it show the last screen from before sleeping, in a greyed-out fashion? Your machine might be going into deep sleep and not just a nap.

  • System shuts down immediately upon build

    My whole computer shuts down immediately upon trying to build a project. It only happens with one project. I can build other projects just fine. I was able to build this project just fine 5 months ago. I deleted the build folder to save space, but have made no other changes since then, other than transferring the project folder to another hard drive. Now every time I try to build the whole computer immediately shuts down.
    My first thought, is somehow an asset went bad, but I have no idea how that could have happened because every thing worked fine five months ago. I can't even determine what causes the crash from the log because it happens immediately. I have tried transferring the project folder to other hard drives, but the same thing occurs. My biggest question is even with a corrupt asset why would the entire system shut down. I would think I would just receive an error message.
    Thoughts on correcting the problem or any information as to what could cause the whole system to shut down would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Jurgen,
    Thanks for your reply.  You are right, the key was in that file. (Volker also pointed me in that direction). For some reason it had a name for my server that was not in my CFTGCP #10.
    WARNING => DpNetCheck: NiHostToAddr(PTC02.PTC) failed (rc=-2)                                                   
    I do not know where it got that address from.  It is close to the correct address but because it was not exactly correct the network access failed.  Once I made the change the jobs stayed up.
    On to to the next problem....

  • SubVI will open and shut down immediately

    When I run this program, the VI that is called opens, then shuts down immediately. I open the subVI from the VI Server then i want the VI Server to wait until it recieves a signal to shut down the subVI.

    You should use the Error In and Error Out to see if you have Datasocket errors. Run the vi with trace execution on, and use probes to look at data outputs and error out of various steps. You may have a datasocket error, you may have an error opening the Final1 vi, or the FinalDone boolean might be True before the vi is done. Also, you could clean up your wiring a bit before posting. It makes it very hard to follow the logic when you have wires hidden and wires looking like they are connected to the right side of a funtion when they are actually connected to the left side. We are here to help you, please don't make it more difficult with bad wiring practices.

  • HP DV6000 series laptop - Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger

    Hi,
    I am using a hp dv6000 series laptop for last 2 years....  Accidentally, water fell on my laptop and then my laptop itself fell down from the table.
    One the first day when I tried restarting it  there was no response ( No power LED no display nothing, no cpu fan etc ...)
    I disassembled the laptop, cleaned the RAM hard disk, front bezel, keyboard. I used a hair dryer to dry out any of the moisture. My laptop then started showing some response ... now after 4 days .... it is working all fine except the display...
    The problem is :
    1. The Laptop backlight is not working... (but I can see the display with a external flashlight pointed to screen)
    2. The laptop works fine on battery... but as soon as I connect the power charger... it immediatly shuts down.
    Currently because of display problem... I am using the (RDP) windows remote desktop connection from an another laptop to access the desktop.... I logged on from another laptop and checked that all the internal harware parts are working fine.
    Also, sometimes suddenly randomly the display backlight starts working fine and goes off randomly.
    Please suggest. I seached all the online help but I have found no help on "Shut down immediately as soon as I connect the power Charger"...
    thanks.

    It sounds like the LCD power inverter has been damaged and would need to be replaced.  As far as the AC adapter/battery issue, I'm not sure.  It sounds like you need to retire this notebook early. 

  • Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its  related to overheating ?

    Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok),  and a fresh clean  install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,
    I believe its  related to overheating ?
    iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C,  Fan rpms is around 1000
    Any ideas somebody ?
    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
    Why is my computer slow?
    Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
    How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
    Most commonly used backup methods
    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
    Hope this assists.

  • My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening.

    Hello,  My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening.  I reset the ipad and it still isn't working  Any ideas? iPad 2

    I only kow how to disengae yahoo but maybe the process will help for other email accounts linked to ipad calendar.  Just remeber to go to email accounts and shut down any associations with other programs.
    Here is what I did in yahoo.mail
    Went to My Yahoo
    selected quicklinks (on top left of page)
    Calendar was not shown , so I selected more yahoo services at bottom of list.
    Candar was among many and I selected it.
    You then see your calendar with a margin on left that probably shows a checked box of te name of you calendar.  Uncheck it.
    Also check the subscriptions.  You must decide what makes sense for you there.
    To be more sure,  delete any recent calendar entries in your yahoo calendar or ipad calendar that might have cuased the problem.  that's what happened to me.  I noticed the problem right after I accepted a ics invitation from some else.  I think the ics invitation that I accepteed from my email was the real culprit but who knows.  All I know is that all these things combined solved my problem.
    Close the My Yahoo
    Remeber to check your ipad for any associations and eliminate them and point the ipad calendar to icloud.
    Reboot you ipad
    Check for results
    I hope this helps
