2012 Mac Mini shuts down at night on its own.

Every night for the last week my Mac mini shuts all the way down at night. I have not made any changes to this machine it just started doing this on its own. When I reboot in the morning it tells me that the computer has shut down and then gives the following for the error report:

Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

Hi BDAqua,
I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled. I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
Thanks for all your help.
Gratefully,
Cheri

Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..

At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any thoughts on that?
One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now.

TS3276 Why didn't I get my mail while my mac was shut down last night. I received it on my ipad and I phone

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

MY mac mini shut down unexpectedly and now it won't restart properly

My mac mini shut down unexpectedly. When I restarted it the screen turns blue and a box pops up that advises "Finder quit unexpectedly". It gives me an option to ignore, Report, or Reopen. The cursor works, but none of those button work. I'm stuck on this screen. I tried all the support suggestions with no luck. What else can I do?

The "worm" as you call it is usually referred to as a Thermometer progress bar. It is showing that your Hard Drive cannot be mounted, and a Disk Utility (Repair Disk) is taking place. If not successful, your Mac will shut down, since it cannot be started up successfully.
You have unresolved Damage to the Disk Directory.
If you do not have Backups, making them should be Top Priority.
Otherwise, boot your Mac from an alternate Boot Drive. If you do not already have one, buy a drive to replace the Internal Drive currently inside your Mac, and an External enclosure to run it in. Install Mac OS X on it and boot your Mac from the fresh Install.
Then you can attempt to repair or salvage from the old drive at your leisure, using the full power of Mac OS X to do so. When your situation is stable, swap the Internal and External drives.

2008 mac pro shuts down over night with os 10.9.5

Updated clean install of OS 10.9.5 to new HDD on my 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8 via the app store: The Mac seems to shut down over night. Not overheating. Energy Saver, Computer sleep set to Never, and Display sleep set to Never. Screen saver set to never. Very odd. will see if it does it 3rd night in a row.
Also: anyway to get rid of the password log in when I turn Mac on?

Open the Console app and look for log entries right before your had to boot up the Mac. Post them here.

My mac mini shuts down 15 minutes into watching Netflix. Why?

After watching Netflix for 15 minutes, my Mac mini shuts off. I've tried to reboot it, log back on, but again the computer shuts off completely after another minute. I bought the Mac mini in 2008. Any idea what could be causing this problem, or how to fix it?

Check System Preferences under Energy Saver. You may have the system set to go to sleep when inactive for 15 minutes. Netflix playback isn't necessarily seen as the computer being 'active', because the keyboard and mouse are not providing any input. This may be more especially true if you are using a browser other than Safari to access Netflix.

Mac mini shut down with USB and USB Over Current Notice

I just spent the day dealing with my mini shutting down when I connected my iphone. If I left it connected at restart, I got the infamous USB Over Current Notice. I tried all suggestions and finally used an apple connector instead of the one I had been using. Everything OK again... Other comments? It was very time consuming and frustrating.

Do you have other devices connected to USB ports ?
Try to connect with a powerde hub in between.

Did you try disabling every option in the "Wake Up Event Setup"?
I just checked the Changelog for the latest BETA Releases for your board. The latest BETA Version is A7585IMS.132 [v1.3b2] and among other things it includes the following fixes that seem to address the problem you are experiencing:
Quote
- Fixed WOL still work after disable LAN controller.
- Fix after use LAN (on PCIE slot) wakup S1,system can't shut down from OS issue.
For you, this means good news: Your problem is already known and was, at it looks, already fixed. All you have to do right now is to contact MSI Technical Support and ask them to provide you with that BIOS Release.
http://support.msi.com/
Once you have the BIOS, ensure that your system is stable and then use the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to flash it (please avoid M-Flash or Windows based method for minimum risk).

Mavericks & FileVault & logging out results in Mac mini shutting down?

Hello.
Did a clean install of Mavericks and set up FileVault on my primary SSD and every night, before I go home, I log out of the system (by restarting) and the machine restarts and lands on the login screen (and then I leave the office). Since I enabled FileVault, I find that when I come in the next morning, my Mac mini has shut down at some point (resulting in a failed network backups via one of my Retrospect servers as it can't find my mini on the network, since it's offline).
- The mini is on a UPS and nothing in the UPS logs show power issues resulting in a shutdown.
- There is no schedule (Preferences > Energy Saver > Schedule) shutting the machine down.
- I don't have any scripts or other set schedules that shut the machine down and nobody else has physical/remote access to the machine resulting in it shutting down.
I've checked the logs and I constantly see this when I restart the machine before leaving...

Anyone have an idea what would be causing this? Does enabling FileVault result in an eventual shutdown if it's left sitting at the login window for too long?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi BDAqua
Thanks for your response.
I looked into console for the unusual shutdown prior to my post and I found the following:
14/02/2014 18:23:28.521 powerd[16]: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.sleep.failure
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
com.apple.message.summarize: YES

com.apple.message.usermount: NO
com.apple.message.machinemount: NO
Sender_Mach_UUID: 743BD562-083A-33F0-8CC1-1EBBFE59CBD6
I also did a search in String Matching for 'shutdown' and got the following:
14/02/2014 18:22:45.483 com.apple.launchd[1]: *** Shutdown logging is enabled. ***
14/02/2014 18:23:09.146 locationd[43]: locationd was started after an unclean shutdown
14/02/2014 18:23:28.000 kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: 0
I hope this is helpful.

Mac mini shuts down during startup

Lately my Mac mini running osx lion got really slow and then when I shut it down for the night the next morning I tried to boot it up. It didn't boot up after 2 hours of grey screen and spinning wheel. I tried clearing my NVRAM but nothing happened. After that I tried to repair the disk but it said "cannot repair disk, backup as many files as you can and reformat the disk". After that I tried to reboot again and After about 30 seconds it shut down. During those 30 seconds it was normal except for there was this loading bar at the bottom. I have no Mac osx install disk because when I upgraded I just did it through the app store. Is there any way to backup my files without being able to use my computer?

See if the Mini will boot into Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
If so it shoud appear as a FW drive the other Mac, we can check the system logs on the Mini for clues, or perhaps Repair the Disk if the other Mac is same OSX or newer.

Mac mini shut down when start

Hi all,
My Mac mini doesn't want to start anymore ... I have run the Apple Hardware Test from the CD and all seems ok (all test are ok) but when I try to start on the hard drive, the mac mini suddenly shut down
Where it can comes from ? hard drive failure ? how can I diagnostic the issue ?
I am afraid to reinstall Mac OS X from the CD because I don't want to lose my date :[
Thanks in advance for your help and advices

Hi,
my Mini has been also suddenly shutting down. Power light goes off. Not at start-up. First it lasts longer, but gradually, as I restart it, it gradually takes less and less time to suddenly shut down. Or yesterday, for example, I tryied starting it up and not touching it. It lasted for hours. Thought it was cured. Then I popped a CD in and opened iTunes. Didn't take to long before it was shutting down all of a sudden. It would seem not to be able to take any activity. Here is a Console Message I run a few days ago:
(in the meanwhile I'll try Safe Mode)

Mac mini shut down problems under Lion

Since I installed Lion on my Mac mini (mid 2010, 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) I cannot shut down the Mac mini any more. I always have to shut it down by pushing the power button. Can anybody please help me? Thank you.

Hello, Yes, I see the gray spinwheel which goes on for ever.
In the meantime I have installed the lion update and I have uninstalled all applications which I do not need any longer. What I also realized is that if I do not tick "open same windows when restarting again" (I don't know the exact English version as I am using the German one) the shot down does not work properly - as mentioned above. At the end I believe I found the solution now:
- Lion update
- all apps which I don't need anymore: deleted
- all USB, Firewire etc. drives "eject"
- Shut down
It works.
Hope you also find the solution for your problems.
Best reagards
