Air shuts down before boot finishes

My MacBook was going really slow and I performed a forced shut down because it kept freezing. When I tried to start up again, it wouldn't boot past the Apple logo and the spinning wheel. I was told hold command, p, r and control while restarting could fix this so I tried. After that, the computer suddenly shut down shortly after getting to the boot screen.
Disk Utility won't work because it shuts down before it loads. Same for safe mode. It works in single-user mode and fsck returned the following:
disk0s2: I/O error.

I recently subscribed to iTunes Match. iTunes is trying to match and upload songs not purchased from the iTunes store; however, it keeps shutting down before it finishes. Has this happened to anyone else?

Turn off iTunes Match while holding down the Option key (Shift for Windows) then quit iTunes. Open it after a few seconds, and turn iTM back on.

MacBook Air shuts down during boot

My Macbook Air (OS X Yosemite - Early 2014) automatically shuts down during boot, with the screen flashes during the loading bar at 40% and then shuts down. I've tried to reboot many times but it wouldn't get past the 40% on the loading bar.
I've also tried the following but none worked:
The Apple Hardware Test shows that "There may be an issue with a memory module." (PPM002, PPM003, PPM004) - though I've checked that the reference code and the definition doesn't match, as "There may be an issue with a memory module." should be PPM001, and PPM002-PPM015 should be "There may be an issue with the onboard memory.". I've sent this message to Apple and they'd only provided the option to visit their retail store.
Also, the Recovery Mode isn't much help either. As do not have a backup of my HD, I'm not able to restore from Time Machine Backup.
So, I've tried to reinstall OS X Yosemite, but it says "Unavailable to install OS X". A website online says that you can resolve this issue by correcting the date through terminal, but the basic menu bar won't appear, in which I'm not able to access Terminal during the Recovery Mode.
Therefore, I've also tried the Disk Utility, which it shows it can't be repaired, with the following messages: Invalid Node Structure (4, 57963), and 2 messages regarding the Invalid Extent Entry (4, 47013) and (4, 40808). The Single User Mode with the command fsck -fy yields the same message.
Is there any other options then to visit the Apple Retail Store?

Invalid node structure
I'm pretty sure you need more then Disk Utility to repair the drive.

My computer is shutting down before fully booting up. I am running the disk utilities program and have this message: Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk . . . disk, and restore your backed-up files. Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
Or you can't boot from it when you do?
You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

Mac Book Air shuts down completely if I close the cover and leave for hours. Message: you shut down your computer because of a problem. Any thoughts what is happening?

Mac Book Air shuts down completely if I close the cover and leave email running. Is n't it supposed to just sleep and awaken whe the cover is reopened? Instead, I have to boot it. Any idea what the problem is? I am unaware of any problem, just close the cover for safety.

Well I don't know anyone that closes the cove and leaves it for Hours... But try going to System Prefrences > Energy Saving > Uncheck Put Hard Disk to Sleep.

Mac shuts down after boot. Is it the logic board?

mac shuts down after boot. Doesn't go beyond gray screen with apple. Is it the logic board?
I do not have the start up disks to safe boot or check the hardware.
Any ideas what the problem is or is it junk? It is 8 years old.

Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive

I'd let the machine sit for awhile in open firmware & see if it stays alive. Do a few prints.
Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
"The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

MAC AIR SHUTS DOWN WHILE STREAMING

My MacBook Air shuts down while streaming video. I am using safari and it works for a while but then shuts down and will not restart for quite some time. When it restarts I have to immediately close the video window or it will shut down again. I have the latest version of flashplayer.

This sounds like an overheating issue. Flash requires a surprisingly high level of resources. Do you hear your fans running at all while you are playing the videos?
Download the free iStat Pro widget directly from Apple:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
It will show you both your fan speeds and temperature. Start playing a video and let it play for a short while (sometime before it typically shuts off... but long enough to let things warm up). Then check the temp and fan speed. Do this while the video is still playing as things can cool off pretty fast after you stop playing the video. Post the numbers back here.

HP Pavilion a1730n shuts down during boot

Have been using the Desktop Pavilion a1730n for several months after upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Without any warning signs, now the CPU shuts down during boot up. When I shut the main power supply switch off and then turn it back on, then switch the CPU on with the front on/off button it gets 15-20 seconds into the bootup and then powers off spontaneously and completely.
If I try to start it immediately again without turning the main power supply switch off then on and only depress the front on/off switch, it starts to boot but only gets about 10 seconds (varies) in to the boot process before in shuts down.
What could this be? the power supply? the mother board?
ANY ideas would be appreciated.

Hi , Sounds like the power supply , when a load is put on the supply it does not seem to be able to cope with the correct output . You can buy a new supply ( same watt output or better )eg; if you have a 400watt supply get 400watt or higher supply as replacment . Checkurtech

My MacBook Air shuts down when its more than half way charged and won't turn on unless I plug it in to the adapter? Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

My MacBook Air shuts down when its more than half way charged and won't turn on unless I plug it in to the adapter? Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

If you really do have a Mid 2013 Mac Air model then it is still in warranty, as the standard Apple warranty is one year from date of purchase. So take it into an Apple store and have it diagnosed and fixed under the warranty. There is some type of hardware problem that only Apple can fix.

N200 shuts down during boot

Dear Lenovo,
I have a problem with my N200 laptop. Notebook shuts down during boot. Sometimes it is immediately after "Lenovo screen", sometimes it is when Vista logo appears. I found out that this is always when notebook is "cold". It does't matter if I want to switch on my notebook or if I want to restore it from hibernation or sleep mode. Next thing is that it always crashes when fan starts work at full tilt (I checked the fan but it is clear). When notebook starts correctly then it works without problems. Usually I have to switch it on about three times then it is OK. This problem takes about 2 weeks. I have my laptop about 7 month. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
And another thing - I forget to send registration card to Lenovo and now I am afraid that I will be without warranty. Can I send it still now?
Thank you for answer and sorry for my English.
Gabi

Yes, problem with the video card sounds plausible! Any not so successful updates recently? It is sometimes to make a good uninstall, which is required to make a good install.
4in1 drivers should - esp. with W98 and ME - be installed while in SafeMode and with all autostarting programs disabled, for example Antivirus and utilities.
Else, since you have a damaged regedit, I would reinstall Windows. You might have done something for example an upgrade or new install the registry, not healthy, has made a note of. Some utilities also overwrite and change system files without good results.

Application shuts down before it has started

I have a problem with logic on my macbook. When I start it I get a warning sign that says that the application shut down unexpected ( I don't know exactly what the warning sign says in English since it's on Swedish on my compute ).
The things I've done so far is:
* Repaired the disk and the disk authorities (once again, don't know if that's what it's called in English)
* I used AppDelete to throw away Logic and then I installed it again, and I still get the same message, that it shuts down before it even opened.
Does anyone know what to do? Please help me!

There are special Apple Discussion forums for Logic Studio and Logic Pro 8. Are you referring to one of these?
Has it worked before or is this the first time you have tried using it?

I do not have a startup disk. I did try fsck (based on what I learned from your reply-thank you). This failed (fsck); here is the message:
** Checking catalog file.
Invalid key length

** Volume check failed.

I am sure this is an easy fix; I just have no clue how.

Logic shut down before it opens

I have a problem with logic on my macbook. When I start it I get a warning sign that says that the application shut down unexpected ( I don't know exactly what the warning sign says in English since it's on Swedish on my compute ).

Does anyone know what to do? Please help me!

If Jim's suggestion doesn't work, and Logic still crashes, copy and paste the crash log into a new message here.
If you don't know how, open "Console" in your utilities folder. Click the 'Logs' icon. You'll see an item under ~/Library/Logs named 'CrashReporter' and you'll find the "Logic Pro crash.log'
Find the beginning of the latest log (they're dated) and copy and paste the complete log for that date into your message. Sometimes (but not always) there's a clue in there about a bad plug-in, or a failed attempt to load a particular resource, which might help us suggest a solution.

The only program I can recognize there is BitTorrrent but 2 weeks ago I could use it without any problems. Is it possible that my ISP is shutting down my computer?
Thank you.

Try running your Mac with BitTorrent not installed (or at least not running) and also uninstall your proxy or vpn software from ASTRIL, which is also highlighted in the crash report. First try using your Mac with both of these extensions/softwares disabled or uninstalled. If it works properly, you will know that one of them is the culprit.

My iPad air shuts down

My iPad air shuts down by itself sporadically even when the battery is charged. I can only get it to restart if it is connected to power.

Hi kathrynfromjim thorpe,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPad Air is shutting down while you are searching. In this situation I would recommend following the troubleshooting information located in the attached article.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe
