A Few Basic Questions About Random Shut Downs (RSD)

i think my month and a half old macbook has "RSD", its a white 13 inch which i bought refurbrished, Iv got a few questions about RSD and apple serice
First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it soemthing you really have no influence over?
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long might it take (it has to ship from new england if that means anything)?
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had problems?
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
and last should i expect to lose everything on the harddrive ifg i send it in?

First, is there any way to avaoid rsd or is it
soemthing you really have no influence over?
You can't avoid it. You can temporarily reduce it by:
1. Holding down the power button at startup until it beeps.
2. Setting your energy saver settings so it doesn't sleep.
But over time, even those strategies will fail to help.
secondly, if i send it in to get serviced, how long
might it take (it has to ship from new england if
that means anything)?
I took mine to the Apple Store last Wednesday and it was overnighted to the repair center. It was delivered back to me the this Wednesday. So it took one week in my case. I know there are folks that sent theirs in before I did that had to wait longer, but I think that's because there was a parts shortage.
has anyone got theres serviced recently and still had
problems?
The first time I sent mine in it worked fine for three weeks and then the RSD returned, but that was because Apple really didn't know at the time what the problem was. By the time I sent it in the second time, they had just concluded that a heatsink replacement would fix the problem. Hopefully they were right - only time will tell, since the issue generally seems to take a few weeks or more to occur.
Also will the RSD get worse, should i send it in
sooner rather than later (right now i can deal with
it, though if it does get worse itd be a pain)
It will get worse over time. If it only happens rarely, they might not be able to replicate the problem if you take it in for service right away. (The first time I took it to the Apple Store they couldn't get it to shut down. By the time I took it in the second time, it was predictable enough that I knew it would shut done right after they turned it on - then they sent it in for service.) If it happens fairly regularly (like every time you start it after its been sitting for awhile, or any time you wake it from sleep), then definitely take it in. Supposedly they really do know how to fix it now.
and last should i expect to lose everything on the
harddrive ifg i send it in?
Both times that I got mine back all of my data was intact. However, it is always good practice to do a full backup before you send it in -- just in case.

  • Few basic questions about database administration

    Hello,
    I have a few basic questions about database administration.
    1. I switched one of my oracle instances to archivelog mode. I just cannot locate the archive log files on my windows system. The %ora_home%/ora92/database/archive directory is desperately empty...
    2.What is the tools01.dbf datafile used for?
    3.What is the undotbso1.dbf datafile used for?
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.

    1. The archive log location needs to be specified in your init.ora file. By default, Oracle will place the archive files in either ORACLE_HOME/dbs or ORACLE_HOME/database.
    2. The tools01.dbf file belongs to the tools tablespace which should be set as the default tablespace for system. It primary purpose is to hold Oracle Forms and Reports database objects, however, it should also be used for holding other non sys database objects such as the perfstat (statspack) or other third party database schemas e.g. quests sqllab.
    3. undotbs01.dbf file belongs to the undo tablespace.

  • A few (basic) questions about the iPhone

    I just got my iPhone 3GS about a week ago. I am very new to the whole smartphone arena, so some of my questions my seem stupid. Please be kind regardless.
    I've learned a lot about the iPhone by trial and error (pressing buttons to see what happens) but one thing I just discovered was the multitasking bar. When I accessed it, I saw every app I had run since I got the phone displayed in the multitasking bar. And I know that by holding the icons on the bar, you can bring up a red minus sign, touch it, and remove that app from the bar. My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
    Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network. It will automatically join my home network (for example, when I go somewhere and come home, it will switch back to my home network automatically), but it won't do this with, for example, the wifi network at McDonald's even though I did go through the setup and make that network a known network. Am I mistaken in thinking the phone should do this automatically, or do I have to search for the network every single time? Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those? I understand this question may be confusing, so I can try to clarify if need be.
    My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
    Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Only the last 4 apps to be run are actually active and in RAM. The others are swapped out to flash memory in a saved state (i.e you should be able to resume where you left off, if the app is written to support that). They don't therefore drain battery. I close all apps down from time to time (every few days) just to keep things neat.

    It should automatically list new networks when (a) you're in range and (b) you try to connect to the internet (e.g. browse to a web page or check for email)

So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
    The issue is not which drains more battery, but which you need to connect to the internet. Where you have wifi access, switch off 3G, where you have 3G, switch off wifi.

  • Few basic questions about sharing and other stuff..

    Hi there!
    First of all I know where are "101" pages, but they are not giving detail information.
    1.I know there are some folders where I can put files, web-sites and other in order to enable sharing.
    What do I have to do to enable other users (from internet to)
    - view my webpage when they enter my IP address in browser
    - to access files which I want them to be able to acces (with user and password required)? I know there is sth like sharing, and windows sharing, but I give access to my all user folder, do I have to create new accounts on my mac?
    2. It's kind of small problem, but can I run apps in finder using only keyboard (enter causes rename action)
    3. Why doesn't safari keep addresses I used in addres field after few days?
    The most important question is 1.
    Will be gratefull for help.
    Thanks
    Adam Mscisz

    1. Start Personal Web Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences; if you have a router between your computer and the Internet, ports 80 and 443 need to be forwarded to your computer. You can set this up from the router's configuration page, which is accessible by finding the router address in the Network pane of System Preferences and putting it into a web browser. See this article for instructions on how to password protect your shared files.
    2. You can use the Command and O keyboard shortcut to open the selected item in the Finder.
    3. The default setting in Safari is to keep the history for 7 days. You can use the method posted by ptejad in this article to extend the time Safari remembers the history for. The method at the top of the linked page won't work in Tiger.

  • A few basic questions about NetWeaver

    Hi, I am really new to SAP and to NetWeaver, i usually work with ASP.net and other data sources, let me tell you a little bit of my scenario:
    Right now, i've changed job, and now I am facing a totally new environment, SAP is one of the things we use to drive our data reports monthly, but to get to the desired information, there are many steps to get it, like:
    1- Run a Sap report
    2- Export it to a .txt
    3- import the file in MS Excel, and apply a Macro to parse it
    4- Copy and paste the results into a separate Excel, to send it.
    Obviously one of the things i want to help my company is to automate as much as possible the processes to get the final report, and well i though:
    "Why don't i connect directly to SAP from .NET?"
    I read a little about it and then is when i hear about NetWeaver, a separate layer of SAP, that can interact with .NET.
    My questions are:
    1 - Is NetWeaver a client solution, i mean, at the end i leave the SAP server alone, and just install the software with new connection libraries in my computer?
    2 - Can i query the same reports I am running inside ..Net and work with the results locally?
    3- Can all this happen inside Visual Studio 2003
    Thanks to all your help, i really want to convert this into a huge project of migrating all the manual processes into automated reports, any ideas, and suggestions are welcome, ideas on how to connect SAP to .NET, third party components, documentation, examples.
    Thanks again!
    Edgardo

    You can't run the report directly but if you make the same report run as a RFC enabled function module, whose EXPORT is the result of the report, then yes, you have access to that data in Visual Studio.
    You can then integrate .Net with Excel.
    In my case, what im doing is extracting customer data, and their respective sales orders to Excel. I have a spreadsheet, with VBA code. I fill a field with the customer number, press a button. It then does the following:
    1 - Excel's VBA code calls a .Net library (DLL) that I created, using the customer code as import parameter.
    2 - The DLL then calls a function module in SAP, supplying the customer number as an import parameter.
    3 - The function module runs, and returns the data in table format to the DLL.
    4 - The DLL returns the data to VBA in Excel.
    5 - I process the data, and write it to the cells.
    The .Net library was created using Visual Studio 2003 with SAP .Net Connector 2.0.
    Hope this helps you get a picture of what you can do.

  • MBP randomly shuts down every few hours (while plugged in)

    MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009
    3.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Battery has been shoddy for a few years now. Only lasts about 15-30 minutes, but I just use the power cord.
    Recently, the MBP (with cord plugged in) has been randomly shutting down every few hours. Immediately prior to shutting down, the status bar says the battery is fully charged, and I can unplug the cord, and there are no issues. When restart the computer, the battery will now say it's anywhere from 0-60% full.
    The fact that the MBP shuts down even with the cord leads me to believe it's a logic board issue. If that's the case, what's the best option?
    I figure I can either:
    1. Replace just the battery and assume the healthy battery will weather any logic board lapses
    2. Replace both the battery and the logic board
    My local Apple Store said they could replace the logic board and battery for $300 total.
    Is this necessary, and if so, is it worth buying the parts and trying to replace myself?

    Yes, it's the flat-rate depot repair.
    Ok, you've (mostly) answered my primary concern... I was wondering what would happen if it turns out this isn't a logic board issue, and if my $310 would go to waste. The thing is that, right now, my MBP appears to be working perfectly fine until it randomly shuts off, which can take a few hours. So, if the depot replaces the logic board + battery, the MBP appears to be working there (I can't imagine they'll test it for more than 5 minutes), the depot sends it back, and after hours of use, I still have the same issue, I'll be able to get a refund, yes?
    If so, I'll probably just opt for this deal since replacement parts on eBay appear to be about the same price.
    Thanks for the help!

  • When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes!

    When I was editing a picture that I reposted on instagram, I hit the edit button and then a white screen appears and randomly shuts down. I have also noticed that my iPod has been crashing about every single 30 minutes! Please help!

    The iPod crashing when editing a photo is a known bug in iOS 5.1.1.
    For the other problem.
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Mid 2010 15" Macbook Pro Random Shut down and Restart

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...

    I know this questions have more than likely come up a few times. But I have a mid 2010 15" Macbook pro that, for the last year, has randomly shut-down and restated displaying an error message each time. I have had this computer into three different computer repair shops over the last few months, two of which were apple certified, and have had a range of reasons provided for the issue. Anything from Motherboard to hard drive to virus. I have replaced the hard drive, did a complete reformat three times, and downgraded my OSX. But I still have the same issue. I recently came across some support tickets referring to an issue with this model of Mac, something to do with the graphics card. I downloaded a program that was supposed to be a work around, but am still having shutdown issues. I also heard that apple did a free replacement of the motherboard on these machines within 3 yeas of purchase. Obviously I am past that point, but I was hoping that there would be some other suggestions. I have ran an etrecheck on my machine and have attached it below. Can anyone provided any ideas of how I can fix this without having to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks for the help...
    Cheers,

  • Macbook randomly shuts down while in use. still has batter power.

    About six weeks ago I posted this same problem. It seemed to go away on its own but now has happened again (once today and once just two days ago). I couldn't find any thread that had the same problem as mine.
    I have a Macbook that I bought in January, 2007 and I've had very few problems with it. Starting last early spring, after a little over a year, the battery started taking less time to run out. It also occasionally took a longer time to come out of sleep mode, usually only a few extra seconds but a few times it took nearly a minute, and once it was nearly ten minutes). I know I need to replace it, but overall, it isn't drastic. It just runs out maybe 25% faster than it used to (and hasn't really increased since), and rarely has problems with coming out of sleep mode.
    Three times now my computer has randomly shut down for no reason while I was doing things. Once in August and twice in the last couple of days. It isn't related to a particular program, as I was never always using the same thing. The last two times (today and the other day. And I think the first time, too, though I can't remember), I had my computer unplugged and it had been being used for some time unplugged (once it was around 50%, once around 40%, when it shut off). When I try to turn it back on, it just shuts off again and only stays on when I plug it in again.
    I am UP TO DATE on all programs. Is this a common symptom of a battery dying? I'm wondering if maybe the gauge that tells me my battery power is screwed up somehow and isn't giving me accurate numbers (though when this happens, the lights on the bottom still appear as if to say I have battery power left).
    Basically I'm wondering if this is a simple battery problem I can solve by buying a new one or if there is a more serious problem with my computer. IS THIS NORMAL? Please help. I love my Macbook.

    Mine does that. Around 40-45% battery life it just dies.

  • My iMac (27-Inch, 2012) is randomly shutting down

    Hello,
    Wanted to ask here before I bring my iMac in.
    I'm having an issue with my iMac randomly shutting down from what seems like a KERNEL PANIC.
    I haven't been able to pin down what is causing the shutdowns/kernel panic.
    We usually leave this iMac on 24/7 since we use it with Apple TV.
    I started noticing about a month ago coming back to the computer after a few hour I would log in and I would get a window asking to restore my apps because
    the computer had shut down due to some error/problem.  I will usually submit the report to Apple when asked to do so.
    It's now happening much more frequently. I'd say about every hour or so. Even when I'm using the computer after a while it'll start to feel sluggish, almost like a quarter to half second delay for mouse and keyboard commands. Then after about 10 minutes it slows down even more until "POOF" black screen....then Kernel Panic grey screen asking me to press a key to restart.  It seems to happen regardless of the application I am using.
    At first I thought it was one of my USB hard drives or USB HUB that was causing the issue but last night i unmounted all drives and peripherals (except mouse and keyboard) to see if that helped.  Woke up this morning to the same login after Kernel Panic / shutdown.
    Repaired Disk Permissions then ran apple hardware test this morning. said everything was working correctly. Problem still persists.
    Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated (CPU info + Sys Dialog Report below)

    I would recommend tracking down the app that uses this and unionist all it completely from  your computer. Also if you have upgraded the RAM on the machine you may have a RAM falling DIMM or it may have become unseated or it might not be the correct specs for your machine.

  • Another iMac Randomly Shutting Down!!

    Hey Everyone. I'm new to the forums, though i've always used them as a resource over the years to learn more or troubleshoot issues. Hopefully, now, someone can help me with mine personally.. :-/
    I have an intel 2.8gH Aluminum iMac that I purchased fall of 2007. Only now, almost 2 years later is it suddenly (just started yesterday) turning off randomly. Everytime it will not allow me to turn it back on until a minute or so has passed. I have reset the SMC as well as the PRAM several times. This afternoon, it is now to the point where I cannot even keep it running long enough to download an app to up the fan speeds. Although, I don't think it is overheating in the first place.
    I'm really hoping it is just the power supply, as I've seen that be the fix for SOME iMacs i've found at other online forums. Though, the upper corner of my iMac is not hot or smelling burnt out at all. I have found more than several online forums of people complaining about their iMacs randomly shutting down, and am praying it is not the logic board, as that is a $900+ fix.
    please, someone give me insight to how i can check if its the power supply or something else? I use this iMac for recording all of my music, editing video, and (of course) playing WoW lol. Currently using my 1st gen macbook.

    I bought my iMac 20" in May 2006. I had been very impressed with it until one day I shut it down to move it to another room. I could not get it to turn back on. I had to leave it unplugged for a few hours. Since then it has started randomly shutting itself down, turning itself off and not starting up again until I unplug and leave it unplugged for a few hours. I had purchased the Apple Care? Extended Warranty, and the fault occurred during this three year period, though I failed to take the fault seriously and did not phone during the period. It was just after the three year warranty that I phoned Apple Care? about it and everyone I spoke to said they had not heard of this problem occurring. I wonder now, why the Apple Customer Service Team don't visit the discussions.apple.com where they will find quite a significant number of like problems occurring with the iMac sold in 2006.
    My reason for paying the nearly triple price point for an Apple Computer was the quality of the build and my expectation that I would get far longer life out of my purchase. I don't like buying throw away products and I gladly save and wait longer to buy better quality products. Just as an example and point of reference. In 2000 I purchased a second hand Dell with 8GB HDD and 256Mb RAM. I paid $1000 for it and I gave it to my father when I got this iMac and he still has it running today. It has not had a single hardware issue in nine years. Good luck I suppose. However, after spending around $3000 on this iMac, and Apple now telling me the Logic Board is generically, non specifically 'failing', it goes against my pure desire for non disposable, throw away products to buy another Logic Board for AUS $1064. For one, I don't believe it has given me anywhere near the life that I expected from a product with such a high price point and solid reputation for quality, nor do I feel confidence in buying anything more 'Apple' after the dealings I have had with them over this problem. I am amazed that Apple would sell a 'failing' Computer to their customers and then expect that the customer will spend more money, considerably more, on a product that may be equally faulty and that they will not stand behind either.

  • MacBook randomly shutting down

    My mac will shut down without warning when Im using battery power. Sometimes it won't turn back on until I attach it to the power cord. My battery is always charged when this happens.
    Whats wrong with it?!?

    Hi there,
    I have had battery and random shut down issues as well.
    Got my Macbook last July and loved it until about April, then...
    It started with the battery light switching from orange to green repeatedly. I tried re-calibrating the battery (which I do every couple of month as instructed in the user manual)and noticed that it would just shut down when the battery got low rather than give me a warning.
    I took it in to an apple technician store in Montréal Canada to see what was up, they changed the logic board. They did nothing to the battery. They said it was a logic board problem. I brought my repaired macbook back home and everything was fine for a few days.
    I started to experience random shutdowns in the following days, and the battery problem re-appeared. I brought it back in and they replaced the logic board again. They did nothing about the battery. I brought my repaired macbook home and everything was fine for a few days... And then it started random shutting down and doing all sorts of weird battery stuff again.
    Is it odd that the apple store just kept replacing the logic board, eventhough it seems quite obvious that this is a battery problem?
    Would calling AppleCare be wiser than going back to the technicians (I subscribed to apple care recently as I don't see an close end to the problems that I am having)?

  • 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.

  • Black screen and random shut down

    When on battery power my ibook G4 will randomly do one of two things: the display will go almost completely black, or it randomly "shuts down" (although I can still hear the fan) and will not turn back on. For the frist problem closing the lid and putting it to sleep are sufficient to fix it. For the second I either have to hold down the power key in which case it acts like it shuts down, or I have to remove the battery. Both problems happen while on battery power and has happened while running a lot of programs and only a few. I brought it into a an Apple store a couple months ago and the genius reset PMU and reinstalled the operating system as well I think. It worked for a while but has now begun acting up again. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Ok so, unfortunately I have no answer (and this is my 3rd try posting this because my g4 kept shutting down) Anyway for about the last week my ibook g4 has been shutting down for no reason. Even w/a full charge. The only way I can get it to restart is to plug it in. I'm also getting a weird error message sometime when it restarts that says "your date/time is set to a date before 2001 so some applications may behave erratically" or something. However, the time and date are set to the current date and time. Also,sometimes when it restarts there is an outgoing e-mail that pops up saying this has not been sent. However it has been sent, according to the sent box and the recipients.
    yuk, I hate problems, I don't want problems.

  • IMac randomly shuts down after Leopard Upgrade

    My wife's iMac randomly shuts down since we installed Leopard. It wasn't doing this before the Leopard upgrade.
    It takes about 5 mins. of inactivity after the machine enters sleep mode, then it shuts down. We've searched the Discussions but have yet to see an answer to our question. Nothing but an iSight is plugged in to the machine. Any suggestions?

    Same problem with random shut downs that get more and more frequent making the computer unusable. Took to Apple Store where they did not recognise the problem - tried replacing RAM then power cable then power supply. Said problem was fixed but started to recur within a short time of using it back home. Used install discs to reinstall the original operating system (Mac OS X 10.5.2) and the problem resolved - on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.8 the problem immediately recurred. Have gone back to 10.5.2 now and all seems okay.
    Seems strange that there are so many postings about this and Apple Store (Genius staffseem to be unaware of it as a problem).
