Yet another Shut Down Problem - No warning

Same problem as countless other users on here... 17 inch Mac Book Pro Shuts down with no warning at exactly 48% battery life with no ac charger plugged in. I'm not 100 percent sure of this but Im pretty confident it only started doing this after the last major software upgrade to 10.1.11. I havent yet migrated to Leopard due to reported software issues.
battery seriel number: No.6N6261VRU50A
But like many others have stated on this forum, Im doubtful this is a battery fault, more likely a software bug. Upto the software update my battery and computer were faultless and the battery always decharged properly and with warning before shutdown.

The same thing is happening to me. Again. Last year same thing happened and a new battery fixed it, but going bad again way before it should. Problem started with computer not waking from sleep, and now the sudden shutdowns. I did update Itunes fairly recently, around the start of the problem, otherwise use 10.4.11 and had not updated anything since the last time I had this problem (curious).
There are an overwhelming number of bad batteries for this machine, I would not conclude it is not the battery and I would turn in the one you just got and try another one.
Also there is another reset to try besides recalibrating, since that is not possible, (PMU?) that I cannot seem to find this time. It did not work the last time but wanted to try it anyway if anyone knows of it, I think it involves removing the battery. Please post it if you know what I am referring to.
I was lucky last time because when I took it in to Apple store it shut off right in front of them at 97% charged!

Snow Leopard shutting down with no warning is getting more complex!

I have a series 1 Macbook Pro and have updated to Snow Leopard. As with most other people I immediately got problems with the "battery Service" message. So, having read all the various posts, and tried re-calibration, I bought a new battery.
Charged fully and disconnected adaptor. The machine shut down with no warning at about 85%! I tried a few more times after fully charging the battery and it shut down a number of times - 83%, 85%, 89% and 98%. The battery shows a cycle count of 1. The last time it shut down (89%) I decided to try re-starting without plugging the adaptor back in. The machine started and ran up to the point where it properly started Snow Leopard - when it was about to change from the blue screen - at which point it shut down again. I tried this a number of times and it was absolutely conisistant, doing it every time.
I then had the bright idea of plugging in the adaptor but watching the LED to see what happened. The LED came on green for 1 or 2 seconds, then went red. I then immediately unplugged it again. I then tried to start the machine with battery only. It started perfectly and went on running until down to 15% at which point it shut down, again with no warning. Tried re-starting - it wouldn't! Plugged the adaptor in so that it would charge the battery whilst using the machine. Then, much to my amazement, while the adaptor was still plugged in, and the battery was far from fully charged, the machine shut down - again without warning. That's "it shut down with battery installed AND mains connected". The machine then wouldn't start, with mains connected. It would switch on for a few seconds then shut down again. To get it to start I needed to remove the battery and run it on mains only.
That's where I am at the moment, running 'mains only' with no battery installed. It looks as if Snow Leopard sets the battery monitor / charging hardware incorrectly on the MBP. Once set incorrectly it looks as if it loses itself!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

It really doesn't get any better! Well, not a lot. I decided that I'd try yet another brand new battery. I charged it fully, disconnected the mag connector and it ran happily without shutting down - hooray. However, after putting out the message about low power and about to shut down, at about 5%, it ran to about 2% and shut down without warning. It didn't go to sleep.
I then couldn't get the machine to start again. I reset the SMC and still no joy. it would start to run, flash the screen a couple of times and then die. To get it to run I had to disconnect the battery, start it, then plug the battery back in again. Snow Leopard does appear to do something odd with the charging hardware. It appears to leave it in an odd state.
You may be right about Battery Update 1.3, but there appears to be no way of installing it under 10.6.8 - unless you know something I don't!
This is the current battery:

*)Is this issue seen with all applications and any particular applications.
*)When the system crashed did you experience any over heating issue.
*)May I know the operating system installed on the system .
*)Would suggest you to work on this system in safe mode with networking then test if the same issue is seen .
*)Also as you mentioned that with the preboot diagnostic the system passed all the test so the system's hardware is working fine.
If there are any more queries do reply to this post with the system model ,operating system installed on the machine, service tag of the system(sent via private message) so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better .

Shut down problem on new macbook pro 13"

Hey,
Just a new convert to mac after ditching my glitchy windows desktop replacement.
Been really enjoying the mac (i've had it for 3 days now). I've experienced a shut down problem where everything would close, like the dock and the bar up the top. What's left is just my background and my mouse which i can still move around. If i press the power button, it brings up the shut down options but if i click shut down, it brings me back to the background again.
The first time, it happened was after i tried opening a macmame.dmg file which was not mounting, and that cause problems with shut down in which i had to force shut down. The 2nd time it happened (which was today), was not as a response to installing anything, or so i would think.
Also, is it 'safe' or normal or better to just leave my laptop on sleep instead of shutting it down? I see a few people doing it and just wondering about the benefits of doing that instead.

I've done that repair disk. So far this shut down thing has only occured twice in 4 days. I've shut the computer down 6-10 times so it's not a reoccuring issue, so hopefully that repair would've resolved anything.
I shall continue to let me mac sleep instead of shutting it down then, seems easier. And good thing to know that theres no viruses... hate working with virus scanners and all other nonsense.
Macmame is just a emulator for some games. It was something I had on windows so just wanted to see whether it worked on mac, I ended up getting it mounted and installed but didnt seem to work as well as on windows so i disabled it.

Macbook air Shut down problem

Hi everyone,
I used to have the shut down problem with my Macbook air. I have an 11" Later 2011 Macbook air.
The problem did not go away after updating to Mountain lion.
I just realized that although I was closing all programs, I was not ejecting my 3G modem/dongle.
Once I ejected it before commanding it to shut down, it did shut down properly.
I thought I should share it with you. May be there is a program that has not been closed or a devise that has not been unplugged/ejected properly and is restricting the shut down.
It worked for me. Hope it will work for you.
Enjoy your Mac.
J.

    Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:

     If this does not help, you may have to take the computer to the Apple store
     to have the battery checked out.

Macbook Shuts downs without any warning.

Hi All,
Recently I have noticed that my Macbook shuts down without any warning when the battery is out of power. Previously i used to get a warning when about 9-10 mins of power was left.
I have all the updates installed. Also I have not installed any new hardware.
Is there any settings in the System Preferences. What should I do to correct this situation.
Best,
Siva

I'd try a SMC reset - that usually clears battery/power related settings and might do the trick.

As I said, a weak or dead PRAM battery can reportedly cause odd startup issues. If it has never been changed in six years, that's a really long-lasting battery, even if the iMac was kept on continuously.
They are pretty cheap from the right source, so you may want to try changing it.

Another Start Up/Random Shut Down Problem

Ok, so I know there are a million threads aleady about this, but I really cant seem to find someone who has a real good suggestion, if there is any...So I have a Mac Book 512/60GB and have had the random shut down thing happen a few times. One time (today actualy) I couldnt start up. I pushed the button about 5 times and the light came on and then turned right off. I waited a little bit and then it worked. Twice when this happened and after I started up the light for the iSight stayed on and the camera didnt work until I restarted. I was in iChat using Vid chat when this happened. I was thinking about making a genius bar appointment to see what their advice was because my local store seems to be up to date on most things and this seems to be a big problem, but I figured I would check on here first. Does anyone have an actual solution that has worked for them???
Thanks a lot

Well the Genius bar ppl were great as always. They told me they could do it in-store but it would take more than 4 days and it seems that people have been getting theirs back fairly quick. I backed up everything on my iBook and had the macbook shipped to my school, so hopefully it will beat me there. He told me they have seen several of these, but when I tried to get details they seemed a little hush hush and confused. The common agreement from the geniuses was that it was a logic bored issue and thats what he wrote on the work authorization, i also need a topcase replacement as there is obvious discoloration. Im gona assume that they do run additional tests and not just follow what the "genius" says, if it is not the logic board that is causing the probs...right? When I get my macbook will it say the work that was done on it?? Hopefully this will be fixed, because a random shutdown macbook is baisicly a useless macbook when you use it all the time in school.

Mac shut down problem

I've done all of the steps here: Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support but still have something that wants to be installed when I shut down my mac. I don't know what this is or how to get rid of it. Any suggestions please?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

IMac Random Shut Down Problem

I having a problem where my iMac will randomly shut down without warning. Doesn't matter what app I'm using. The weird thing is that it ONLY happens after it has gone through a sleep/wake cycle. It doesn't happen after doing a cold start. The random shutdown happens anywhere from 30 secs to 30 mins after waking. I've tried the SMC reset, didn't help.
It is really starting to be a pain because I prefer to put it to sleep instead of shutting it off. Please help.

I'm having same problem. Random shut downs are truly random with shut down interval changing from 2 seconds to 20 minutes or more. I've tried everything, including reset SMU, PRAM, disk diagnostics. Disk checks out. I also deleted the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file, then reset SMU again. No go!
From what I have read seems like a power supply issue. I guess I've got a good run since buying this iMac in Aug 2005. I read on another thread that www.synaptech.com has reliable replacements.
If anyone has any other ideas, then please share!
thanks and good luck!

Shut down with no warning 49% battery left.

Macbook Pro 15".
This is a brand new battery. I bought it because I was told my laptop was shutting down early with no warning because the battery was bad. Well, this is a new battery and it's doing the exact same thing.
I have NEVER had a warning prior to shut down. And it doesn't go to sleep. It completely shuts off with NO warning and I lose anything I was working on at the time.
There is no way I can recalibrate it according to the many posts already about this problem. They all suggest recalibrating the battery by running off the battery and waiting for the low power message. There is no message. And I can't run the battery down because it won't go down past 49%. Or at least that's what the computer is showing.
Since this is not a battery issue I'm thinking that this is a software issue. Something that happened with one of the leopard updates.
So what now? What can I do software wise to repair or update the battery sensing part of my software?

The same thing is happening to me. Again. Last year same thing happened and a new battery fixed it, but going bad again way before it should. Problem started with computer not waking from sleep, and now the sudden shutdowns. I did update Itunes fairly recently, around the start of the problem, otherwise use 10.4.11 and had not updated anything since the last time I had this problem (curious).
There are an overwhelming number of bad batteries for this machine, I would not conclude it is not the battery and I would turn in the one you just got and try another one.

Macbook Pro shuts down unexpectantly with warning

I just got the new Macbook Pro 15" in January and have not had many problems with it. I change jobs a lot and in the last 2 months when i had it at work the screen would start going dark from top to bottom and a warning would pop up saying i needed to shut down. I thought this was realated to the wifi connection at work since they are PC based and figured someone else had landed on the same signal i was using, but this morning it happened at home, where i don't have wifi- I use the Ethernet connection jack. I have not been successfull in finding any reference to this. Does anyone have an idea?
According to the software update panel i have all the current updates.

I have been doing several different things. sometimes I was Online with Safari via the wifi at work but a couple times I was working offline in word for mac or photoshop (although still had airport turned on) and the last 2 times I was at home on safari through my dsl line. I thought it was related to the wifi until it started happening at home.

Shut-down problems in 10.5.8

Hi there,
I wonder if anyone can throw a little light on my problem!
I have just set up a new 24" iMac, and after updating to 10.5.8 when I am logged into my admin account and have 'fast user switching' enabled between my 'other user' account, I cannot seem to shut down the iMac.
My 'other user' account is a 'standard' account and does not have administrator privileges.
When I go to shut down in my admin account the usual window appears with the following info: 'There are currently logged in users who may lose unsaved changes if you shut down this computer' and an invitation to give the administrator's name and password. I do so, but another widow appears advising me that '.... the user name or password is incorrect, please try again' and I cannot shut down. The iMac does not seem to recognise the admin (system) password nor my name - although it accepts my name and password elsewhere on the system ..
When I go to the top right hand corner of the screen and click on my admin name (fast user) both user accounts are checked.
I thought that the administrator's name and password was 'final' and used to over-ride any problems. I now have to logout of one account before I can shutdown - I have never had to do this before.
Why does the iMac not recognise my admin password when shutting down?
I don't have this problem with my G5 MacBook Pro, nor my G4 PowerBook.
The iMac shipped with 10.5.6 and after the update is now running 10.5.8.
Sorry to appear a little 'long winded', but any advice would as usual be fully appreciated. My apologies if this post is in the wrong area.
Thanks
John

Hi CMCSK,
Thanks for your reply; yes I tried Apple Care - but sadly the particular techie I talked to couldn't help me - I don't think he really understood the problem.
Why does my iMac fail to recognise the Administrator's name and password when shutting down whilst two accounts are logged in?
On the other hand, I will try again today and hopefully I will speak to a techie nearer England!
Thanks for your help,
best
John

12 inch shuts down without even warning me

ok I have year and half old 12 inch 1.33Ghz G4 powerbook. Lately i cannot work on battery charge for longer than 30 min, if lucky and then it shuts down without even asking me to recharge. I did few power management unit resets that didnt work. My local applr genious bar is full of grandmas asking where is @ on the keyboard, so i am scheduled for next century. What should i do. Here is the screen of my coconut battery status.

Gil,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
"When I charge the ring is always green, never amber."
This is NOT normal. The power adapter and battery are not "connecting" properly as to why your computer shuts down within minutes of unplugging. It could be the adapter. On occasion (more often with my 15" Ti), I have to wiggle the cord (near the ring) to get the light to change from green to amber.
Try another power adapter. If you do not have another adapter, borrow one from a friend that does or go the Apple store. Or try another battery to test the adapter. Also, if you have not already done so--try taking the battery out and putting it back in and then plug in the adapter.
"The battery issue seems to be new..."
Not really. It is a problem with lithium-ion batteries in general. PC portable users have this issue too. In my experience, these batteries tend to last about two years (dependent upon each users definition of sufficient charge to meet his or her needs). Apple claims 80% of original battery capacity after 300 full charge and discharge cycles. Some people say the battery life is 500 cycles. You can check the number of battery cycles in System Profiler.
Hope this helps.

IMac shutting down, problems connecting to internet

I have a 3-year old IMac that I am having problems with. The problems started gradually with trouble putting the computer to sleep, getting the grey film over the computer screen, telling me I need to shut down, and now when it's asleep, it will automatically shut down. When it is asleep, I have trouble waking it back up. I have to press the power button and re-start. Also, I have trouble connecting to the internet. It says "problems connecting to the internet". I have unplugged all cables, power cords, etc. and re-plugged everthing, and I still cannot connect. Any ideas?

To Apple Discussions!
A few suggestions:
