IMac random shutdown w/10.6.7 update

I'm also noticing some weirdness today after installing 6.7 yesterday.
My 2006 iMac would not wake up from sleeping last night - requiring a hard reboot. I held the restart button in back down for an unusually long time before the white light in front lower right flickered many times for about 1/2 a second before giving me many beeps (I couldn't count) then shut down. Then a few minutes later, after clicking a window (browser I think) the iMac restarted. I THINK it beeped again (not positive).
Another thing is that the Parental Controls on one user is not working.
Scrolling is jerky: Mighty Mouse, Tracking 2nd to last bar on right, Scrolling all the way to right, DC 3rd from right, Scroll without inertia. I did notice bursting and stopping with scrolling.

After being convinvced that the motherboard may be bad, I saw a YouTube video of the mo/bo harness being replaced. According to this person, technicians informed him that they would replace this part before the mo/bo or power supply. *Apparently the harness was problematic for the 1st generation iMacs. Can anybody confirm this?* Or are my symptoms pointing to the mo/bo like the Apple Store person said?

  • MacBook random shutdown w/10.6.7 update

    I installed the 10.6.7 combo update this morning, and now I have a problem with random shutdowns. The problem persists even after a PRAM reset. When I run Apple Hardware Test, the short test reports no problem. The extended test...shuts down before completion (before the PRAM reset, it ran for about 18 minutes; afterward, it ran for about 90 minutes).
    When I ran AHT, I did so with the system "stripped" (nothing but the MacBook), so it's not a peripheral problem.
    As long as I'm active (that is, using the mouse or keyboard), it won't shut down. I did have this problem with 10.6.6, but that was related to EyeTV recording and was not a system-wide issue.

    I spent a couple days off and on at the apple store. Had a brand new early 2011 macbook pro 8G I7 2.3... all the best.
    It was randomly shutting down, sometimes 2-3 times a day.
    After replacing everything, literally, including the entire machine, it was still doing the same thing.
    Finally, a genius at the gilbet, az, apparently the genius boss, started looking at it.
    The first thing he tried was turning off sharing.
    It worked instantly.
    So, here's one of the major causes of the random shutdown - Sharing
    If you share any directory that contains operating system information - the main disk, your user account, etc. OSX will die, usually with a Kernal panic (or several of them).
    It turns out that you should only share folders that have data, never anything that has OS or App information.
    I shared everything because it was easiest for me on my MS network to get to and from the machine. It was always problematic to decide what to share, or to create multiple shares on the mac and then get to them from the PC side of my network. Now that is what I must do.
    As soon as sharing was turned off on my main drive and on the user accounts, the random shutdowns ceased. I haven't had any since.
    Now all I have left is an issue with the mouse not responding after I close the lid and reopen it. Everything appears to work, but the mouse just won't move.

  • Mid-2010 iMac randomly freezing after last Windows 7 update.  Help!  I am a teacher and have 50 computers all behaving the same way.

    I am a teacher and have 50 mid-2010 iMacs running Windows 7 in my classroom.  The computers did a Windows 7 automatic update on or around April 15, 2014.  After that, each computer randomly freezes.  Some are worse than others.  Most of the computers freeze when a USB drive is plugged in and also when a pop-up shows up on the screen - especially the Java update.  I have installed the most current Bootcamp drivers and run several anti-virus program searches.  I've also tried the Microsoft Fix-it program and almost everything.  Uninstalling the updates did not help.  Can anyone help me out?

    based on what you wrote this  doesn't make sense
    use system restore to rollback the machine prior to this update

  • Imac random shutdowns

    Imac G3 500mhz
    It will power up and run fine and then will shutdown and the power light pulses slightly, can hear a slight buzz from the power supply/monitor part of the Imac, changed motherboards and downconverter and still the same problem. Possible bad power supply? Can unplug system and let it sit and then plug back in and it will start up and then shutdown again. Any help would be nice, Thanks

    It is most likely (and obviously) a hardware problem. It sounds like a problem with the monitor. It sounds like the fan is faulty. This is probably the buzzing noise. And if the fan doesn't work, it will oftenly cause the computer to act strangely. The monitor is turning off from the heat that has collected in the caseing. Try to turn it on again (the way you do when you try to get it to work) and then check to see that the fan is spinning and it is spinning freely. (nothing is stuck in the fan blades, slowing it down.) Hope this helps! -TWA

  • IMac randomly shutdown

    I now have OS X 10.6.8 installed.
    I switched my iMac on today and logged in, loaded to desktop.  I clicked the apple symbol in the top left corner of the screen and BAMN, it shutdown before the drop down menu even appeared.
    I copied out the system log, from console.  I'm hoping someone understands what happened?  I'd love to know.  Many thanks.  Check my profile for more system specs.

    I have done the in depth analysis.  No problems found.  I guess that's a good thing!  Yet, I still don't know what the problem was.  Maybe it's due to the latest snow-leapord patch?  Or just a freak glitch?

  • Imac random shutdown prugatory... please lend an ear!

    what a terribly frustrating situation. here is my scenario:
    bought a new intel core2 duo imac in september of 2006 and after a year i was forced to upgrade to leopard and install windows xp using bootcamp in order to do work on the machine (to pay bills which is why i say "forced")
    in hindsight it seems as though the computer may have been randomly shutting down as i was using windows however if it was, the computer was restarting to a fresh boot of windows.
    so after a year and a bit i can finally replace the imac and buy a real windows only pc for work, which means i can use my mac again (yay!)
    first problem i have to solve is the fact that it overheats the ati video card and i installed smcfancontrol to stop the overheating...
    but now the computer restarts... aaaaalllll the time.
    i dont have any third party things running other than:
    -smcfancontrol
    -google notifier
    -connect 360 (xbox 360 media extender for mac
    i went ahead and unplugged all the cables and let the computer sit OFF for 30 minutes (15 minutes is what apple says is the minimum) which is supposed to reset the PMU and this does not help either.
    One thing that is curious is that the power management is set to NEVER turn off the monitor however it always turns it off.
    The computer is set to never hibernate and it doesn't... but the screen always goes off.
    i had screen saver set to OFF and it always went on. Now i dont see the screen saver anymore so i guess that is working.
    Seems to me this is a hardware issue?
    The machine is way out of warranty and there is no apple care... so what could this be?
    Apple's repetitive response of "replace the logic board" is what the genius bar guy told me when i was getting my iphone replaced and that just scares me.
    it is always the logic board.
    and so i ask here for HELP...
    thanks.

    If you haven't tried this, reset the System Management Controller. Instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    *"Seems to me this is a hardware issue?"*
    Run the Apple Hardware Test from the restore disk(s) that came with your iMac. Go here for instructions.
    http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/01/mac-101-running-the-apple-hardware-test-software/
    Have you checked the boot disk for errors? Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. While you are running Disk Utility, at the bottom of the window where you see: S.M.A.R.T make certain it says: Verified. When Disk Utility you are finished with the Disk Utility application, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    The S.M.A.R.T is a monitoring system to detect possible hard disk failures.

    I have removed avast security and repaired disc permissions .Also carried ot AHT
    Im in a panic now as well as my machine  !

    So, is Avast still showing up in the crash logs?
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
    /private/var/run/StartupItems
    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Random shutdowns since battey update!

    Hi.
    I've had whine issues with my MBP 1st gen. which were fixed by a logic board replacement. I updated with the battery update recently and some bad bahaviour has happened since.
    Namely I've had two random shutdowns which never happened before.
    The first occasion I dismissed since I had it on high processor load and when the MBP shutdown I put it down to overheating.
    Today the story was different.
    The MBP was idling with some normal tasks. I unplugged the machine to cycle the battery as I do once a week or so. I calibrated formally last week after the battery update.
    Approximately a minute after unplugging, the MBP activated both its fans to high speed. The processor load on both cores was under 10% so it was not due to processor load or rogue non responding process. I waited and the fans started to wind down from their high speed in the gradual way they normally do.
    A minute or so later for no apparent reason the machine just shutdown all of a sudden.
    The battery appears to be draining alot quicker. For example in the last ten minutes since I've been slowly typing this the battery % has gone from 90% to 75% with CPU loads under 10%.
    I'm calibrating the battery again today but the sudden shutdowns really shake one's confidence in the machine in a deep way as you may all understand.

    Did you Reset the PMU (power management unit)
    between re-calibrations?
    When you re-calibrate make sure you leave it more
    than 5 hours draining without power, I generally aim
    for 7 hours before re-connecting power.
    It could be worth running the Hardware tests from
    Install DVD1 (hold down d at boot) and see if it
    reports any SNS (sensor) or MTR (motor) problems.
    I calibrated formally ie. 6 hours after normal power related shutdown and wake from deep sleep mode.
    I haven't reset the PMU but will try that later. I want to try and diagnose the problem as well as possible before trying lots of random things.
    I have noticed that my battery is down to 90% of full capacity ie ~4900 mAh (5500 mAh is the nominal when new). I only have 122 cycles in the 14 months I have owned this. It's mostly on AC power but nevertheless it never occured prior to the battery update (Ockham's razor).

  • Update to 10.6.7, system random shutdown at mbp mc721.

    I check the graphic card setting in gfxCardstatus.
    System will be random shutdown by using ATI6490, but force to use intel HD 3000 not so.

    HI kong,
    Welcome to the forums.
    Have you recently upgraded/ replaced the computer ram? Have you tried running Apple Hardware Test?
    Have you looked at the console log to see what's listed at the time of the shutdown?
    Have you tried a SMC reset or a NVRAM reset?

  • Macbook problems, hard drive crash, random shutdown, freezes

    I bought my macbook used a few months ago, and it worked flawlessly until about 3 weeks ago. The system started freezing and not booting (getting folder icon instead of apple at startup). I ran drive setup and tried to repair the drive, but this did not fix the problem. DiskWarrior also could not fix it. I pulled the drive and installed a new hard drive, as I wanted a larger capacity anyways. All my problems appeared fixed for about two weeks, then similar problems began occurring. I backed up all the files I needed to an external firewire drive and attempted to reformat the new internal drive. Drive Setup says it can not reformat the drive - can't mount it and if it does, the drive disappears while in the process of formatting. I pulled the new drive and am having it replaced under warranty. I am using the firewire drive to run my computer, and this seemed to work fine for a day or two until the computer just started shutting down with no warning. Everything goes black, including the little light on the front of the computer. I have to hold down the power button for 10 seconds before it lets me start the computer back up. I had read this may be a memory issue, so I ran memtest and it says the memory is fine (I need to do it in single user mode still, however). I also tried pulling both sticks of ram. They are both 1GB crucial memory. I put each stick in by itself and tried it in both slots and was able to reproduce the shutdown issue with any ram configuration of either stick.
    After all this, I realized the firewire drive was only running 10.5, so I updated all the software through software update, and it is now running 10.5.2. It seems to be working better as I have not experienced a random shutdown yet, but I'm anticipating it may start back up soon. Today, however I experienced a different problem - the screen froze on me and the only way to get anything to happen was to force a shutdown with them power button. It's restarted and seems to be working fine again for now.
    I've run some logs and here's some things I've found:
    When the latest freeze happened, I got this repeated over 100 times:
    Apr 29 11:04:31 jon-turners-macbook quicklookd[536]: CGContextClosePath: no current point.
    I've also seen this:
    Apr 29 11:18:19 jon-turners-macbook kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: 3
    Apr 29 11:18:19 jon-turners-macbook kernel[0]: GFX0: family specific matching fails
    Apr 25 19:19:50 localhost kernel[0]: hi mem tramps at 0xffe00000
    Should there be anything else I can check? I would run Apple Hardware Utilities, but I don't have the original disks, just the Leopard installer. I have Disk Warrior, but it seems strange this would happen with multiple systems and drives. I'd like to get Techtool Pro, but haven't had the money/time to order it yet.

    Thanks for the replies!
    Yeah, I think it's the HDD. I was just worried that the RAM was bad and corrupted the HDD or something, but given the symptoms I think you guys are right. Ordered a 7200RPM 320GB HDD off Amazon Prime...will be here tomorrow
    I'll post how it goes after I finish installing it. I'm backing up as I type.
    I wonder if I can fix the ir port and the sleep indicator light when I install the hard-drive. The sleep indicator light never turns off. It stays on as long as my computer is on, only turns off when I shut it down.

  • K9N Platinum: CPU upgrade = Random shutdowns..

    I just installed a new AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ EE in my MSI K9N Platinum motherboard (MS-7250 v1.0, the 070 model according to the box). I had updated the BIOS to version 1.7 before installing the CPU. Anyhow, I got the CPU installed and it seemed to be running fine. Until I started playing my games. Upon playing fifteen (!!!) minutes of Day of Defeat, the system completely turned off. COMPLETELY. No error messages. I check core temp's log to make sure the CPU wasnt overheating; it wasnt. The max temp was 38C on one of the cores. Just to make sure the CPU wasnt the problem, I ran two instances of prime95 for 5 hours and there were no calculation errors whatsoever. I also ran 3-4 loops of SuperPi, using the 32M test. No errors.
    I have come to the conclusion that it must be the motherboard, and possibly it does not like the CPU. Or else it is having the same random shutdown problems as many other K9N Platinum/Ultra boards are experiencing. From what i have read, this issue only relates to boards that are 040, 050, or 060 models. I have a 070 model, and I AM GETTING THIS PROBLEM!!

    well, i know that ACPI has to do with power saving features.

    and HPET also has something to do with CPUs

    and MCP55 is the nortbridge.
    so i suppose i can conclude that it protects from overvoltage or promotes more power-saving?  i dunno i really dont care as long as my PC works now, 

  • Macbook won't detect external display anymore - Random shutdown injury??

    Hi,
    my Macbook has the dreaded random shutdown thing happening, often it can't even get through the startup sequence. If I reset the PMU and PRAM and check the disk every week I can keep it running. Applecare are making not particularly helpful suggestions like "run it in safe mode" - hello people, random means it can take days to happen again... I use this computer for work so I need it at full capacity every day!!!
    Anyway, enough angry ranting. The casualty of today's RS and subsequent PRAM PMU resetting is my external display (Viewsonic LCD). The macbook is no longer sending signals to it (display says "no signal"). When I ask the macbook to "detect displays" nothing happens. I have restarted the macbook several times and unplugged and replugged the display connection it doesn't help. Yes, I have the AC power cable plugged in on the Macbook (I know it doesn't like talking to the screen if I don't).
    The display and macbook have always worked fine together in the past...
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test for causes or fix this display related problem?

    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    You don't mention ever having brought the problem to Apple's attention, or what resulted from your request for Apple's help with it. This isn't a universal or widespread problem. It may be a hardware fault in your own equipment that needs to be resolved with a repair, or it may be a software problem (corrupt file, incompatible software conflict, update needed, etc., etc.). You seem to think Apple should have fixed it for you without your lifting a finger, and you're eager to complain about Apple's lack of support. But you've offered nothing to indicate that Apple even knows you need support. You do have to ask for it. Have you done so?
    We have no idea what steps you've taken to try to narrow down the possibilities, e.g., making sure the monitor is turned on; trying a different video cable as iVmichael has suggested; testing the monitor with the same cable on a different computer; testing a different monitor with the same cable and then with a diferent cable on your computer; substituting a different cable adapter, if you are using one; applying all applicable system software updates and then Repairing Permissions and Repairing Disk; starting in Safe Mode and seeing whether the monitor is recognized and activated then; seeing whether the monitor is detected in System Profiler; and so on. You may have done some of these things, but you haven't told us about them or about the results.

  • Not so random shutdowns...

    Hi,
    My Macbook is just over a year old now still under applecare, I had random shutdowns before and did the firmware update which fixed it. Yesterday, I had the +please hold down the power button...+ message and so did thinking little of it, after all it is not uncommon to have to do it once in a while. Since then though it has been intermittently restarting all on its own and occasionally throwing up the +please hold power...+ message. Interesting to note is the optical drive noise when it restarts itself. I know how it should sound, the kind of mechanical movement sound that happens when you restart normally (or launch parallels and windows grabs hold of your drive). However, occasionally on these restarts it pauses during this sound several times making the same noise but stuttering through it... Strange!
    It seems that I can often make it restart or throw up the power button message by just lifting up the front of the computer, as you would if you were turning it around or something. This leads me to believe it's a hardware fault... Looking under the battery compartment the two outside screws that are on the battery connection side were loose and nearly falling out so I tightened those back up, still the problem persists.
    After the last restart message I copied this error report, I have no idea what to look for, just wondering if anyone can see anything helpful?

    I have tried a PMU reset, PRAM reset and whatever it is that happens when you hold the power button when you turn it on to make it beeeeeeep... The issue happens with or without the power cable attached.
    Unless anyone can suggest anything here I'll be taking it to the repair centre...
    Thanks for reading!

    Ok, this is not an answer but it may help you a little: have you checked your logs? It may be an indication of what has happened there. If you don't know the drill: go to console under applications/utilities, select logs, and go there to /library/logs/panic.log. Some information may appear there, for instance if there is some consistent cause like one of your processors, some specific fault.
    Not much, I know, but at least you may glean something out of it.

  • Random shutdowns/screen off on Mavericks

    I've been getting random shutdowns on my MBA 2013. It almost always happens when I've closed the lid to put it to sleep. After that when I open it the screen always stays black and nothing happens. I have to press down on the power button for a while to get it to reboot.
    I've noticed it happening since I upgraded to Mavericks. I thought it might be a problem because I just updated so I did a clean install last week but it's continued to happen.
    Any ideas what this could be due to?
    I have a log from a shutdown I had last night. If anyone could help me out that would be nice.

  • Random Shutdowns on a MBP Core Duo, Suggestions/Help would be great

    I've had two random shutdowns of my mac since purchasing it back in August. The first happened on January 11th, when it said it was at 11-12% power. The second happened about two weeks later, at 23% power. I've been looking around these forums and other pages, and haven't really found anything that has helped so far.
    Details of the first crash:
    Open apps- Firefox (5 windows, two had about 20+ tabs open, the rest were single page, and yes, I know it crashes often with that many), Camino (1 window with 5 tabs), and Word 2004, as well as Quicktime open to the iPhone stream.
    I had an USB key plugged in, to which I was saving my Word document.
    So I was working in Word while in front of the TV and during an interesting bit, didn't do anything for a minute. So, like the many times earlier, it slept the display to conserve power (in "Better Energy Savings" mode). I moved my finger on the trackpad to wake it back up, and it turned back on the backlighting, and then stopped. I thought it had just went back to sleep, but after a few key presses and a check of the light that usually pulsates when it's sleeping (plus the USB key , I found out that the computer had turned off. I let it sit for a while, and when I plugged it back into AC power and turned it on, with my USB key still plugged in, and although it booted to my desktop, the Finder never started (so no desktop icons for anything), unplugging the USB key fixed this and everything returned to normal. I then installed the only update I was missing, one for iChat, restarted, and continued working.
    In the second incident, I only had my browsers open, nothing external plugged in, and my displayed was dimmed to the third darkest level. When it was at about 23% power, it once again randomly shut down. This time, I attempted to turn it back on, and nothing happened. After plugging it into AC power, it turned on and once logged in showed a very low (2-6%) power, so I guess it was reporting the power incorrectly?
    Anyways, went back to look at the battery exchange on Apple's website. I had checked before when they started it, and was pretty sure mine wasn't covered, and a second check confirmed that. My Mac's serial is W8618091VWX, which isn't covered by the recall.
    So, I have a few questions:
    1. Is there a toll-free number I can phone Apple (Canada) at? The only number I've found seems to be only free for those who bought their computer in the last 90 days, which I'm no longer covered by, and haven't been for a while. Talking to someone at Apple would be good.
    2. Otherwise, if I took my computer to an Authorized Service Provider, would they be able to take a look at it and answer some questions? I bought my MBP at a London Drugs and they aren't service providers, so how much would it cost to do this?
    3. Is there a definite cause for these random shutdowns? It seems to vary among other people, so it would be helpful if I could try something to eliminate one of the causes.
    4. Does Tiger report battery levels pretty accurately? In the past when I reached 6% I got a warning and was able to plug it into AC power and had no problems.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I had this problem of RSD fixed for a while after having had the battery replaced by Apple, till yesterday, when the MBP suddenly experienced a shutdown during a meeting presentation, while it was connected to the AC power. At the first restart, as coming back from a stop-mode, for a while appeared a warning of low-battery level, with battery level indicator flashing red and showing the empty icon but with a 86% of charge level and a new shut-down definitely put the MBP out of service, no way to have it functioning again. Obviously, AC power was OK, no problem with the microphone or the projector ( I was at the podium of an international meeting) and a lucky precaution ( double save of the same presentation on a friend's twin MBP, that worked correctly) saved the job.
    Then, a couple of hour later, my MBP started up normally and everything works fine, with or without MAGsafe connected to AC power, almost up to now.
    I've read the post with a link to the procedure for resetting the power controller chip on the mainboard, I'll do it in a minute, hoping that this will help.
    Any further suggestion?
