Apple Studio 15" Display Shuts Down Computer
I have a 15" Apple Studio Display Monitor (M2454) that is connected to the port of my G4 Quicksilver.
This morning, the hard drive shut down unexpectedly, and when I pushed the power button on the front of the tower, nothing happened. I first checked the power source, and found that to be working. Then I unplugged all the peripherals, and tried the tower with a different outlet, whereupon it started immediately.
Then I returned the tower to its original location, and plugged everything in again. But once more the hard drive wouldn't respond when I pressed the power button.
So, I unplugged the peripherals one by one, and kept trying to turn on the machine. After I unplugged the USB device which recharges my ipod Nano, the computer finally rebooted. But then when my desktop came up, I found that my cursor was frozen. My USB keyboard was plugged into one of the two ports on the back of the monitor, and my mouse was plugged into the right-hand USB port on the keyboard. So I plugged the keyboard's USB into the monitor's other port, and rebooted the hard drive.
This time, the mouse was not frozen, but a few seconds after the desktop appeared, the hard drive shut down again without warning, and without the ipod device connected. I rebooted several more times, and the same thing happened.
I then disconnected the Apple Studio monitor, and connected an older Sony Trinitron monitor. Whereas the Apple Studio monitor derives its power from the hard drive itself, the Sony monitor can be plugged right into the wall. I then connected my keyboard to a port on the hard drive, and rebooted successfully.
So I'm wondering if anyone has any insights about what's going on here, and I'm also wondering if there's any kind of power adaptor that will allow me to power my Apple monitor from an outlet rather than from the hard drive.
And while we're at it, is there any kind of "extension cord," so to speak, for a USB device? My keyboard doesn't quite reach from the hard driveto where I would like it to be.
That's the way all Mac notebooks work and have worked for some time, regardless of the OS, if the external display is set in extended desktop mode. If set to mirror mode, the MBP should continue to run from battery.
So maybe the difference is not Snow Leopard itself but more the point that in Displays preferences mirror mode has been turned off since the SL update. Does that sound right?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation.
Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
HELP!Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

iphoto has been importing photos for over n hour and I can't get it to stop. Can't get out of iphoto and can't shut down computer.
iPhoto works best when the source (Pictures folder) is on a different disk drive than the iPhoto Library is on.
And you need to have enough free disk space to work with, the faster the better.
Also, do not keep your media folders and those in your home folder on the same drive as the system, also another bottleneck.
Until or unless you have everything on 1400MB/sec SSD PCIe controller, you want
System boot drive
Media and data folders and such
scratch
backup
etc
I put iPhoto on an SSD off an SSD PCIe Sonnet Tempo card
If you stop- it, you will need to trash the Library it was creating.
Reading and writing to/from the same hard drive will be slow.
You don't mention which Mac, or how large you are trying to import etc
Also the support page and link to the iPhoto Commuinity is off this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto
Take a look in Activity Monitor. See what the % being used for iPhoto, how many pageouts, how much free space on the various disk drives, and how much RAM do you have installed?

Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?
Can I use apple configurator to automatically shut down iPads to preserve my school's bandwidth?
No, not if you mean remotely. Configurator does not allow any sort of remote control of the iPads. It's only for setting them up when connected to your master computer. There may be third-party MDM systems that might offer some such remote control over WiFi connections, though I can't tell you any that do. This of course will not work on any iPad that's not in your control (usually ones that the school owns) and can get set up with the MDM solution. If you're concerned about iPads and other devices that the students own personally, you may need to control your WiFi access points instead.

Hi! I salute you all!
First of all I want to excuse my english (it's not my native language)!
In 2014 we are dealing with thousands of files (video, audio, etc.), because of the present powerful technology, still... we are missing very important and useful parts for doing our jobs properly and very quickly!
In this case is Adobe Audition too, in my oppinion!
Adobe Audition is a great program, which help us to edit in many ways our audio files, but... unfortunatelly has major missing parts, which would be nice to be implemented as soon as possible!
Some of them are are right below this line:
1. AutoTrim (for removing silences from audio files, before and after)
2. Include Subfolders From A Folder (when adding a folder for working with, we should have the possibillity to add its subfolders too)
3. Preserve Subfolder Structure (when exporting a folder with its all subfolders, we should have the possibillity to export the exact structure like the original)
4. Auto Shut Down Computer (when all the tasks/jobs are done, we should be able to auto close the program and auto shut down our desktop/laptop as well)
When you will add these features which are so wanted, to have them all in Batch Processing mode and Match Volume mode as well, please?!
Many other audio softwares have all of these "old" possibillities, like "GoldWave" for instance (I am not advertising it at all), but the Adobe Audition which is more complex...doesn't so far!
I thank you all and I really wait for these very next future feature requests!
Have a nice day!
P.S.: Is this message/question read by Adobe stuff members (persons who can take decissions in this way) too, or only by us, the comunity members?!Hello Kavans,

I have a MacBook Pro bought about 18 mos ago.Force restart your computer, back up your iPhoto library, depress the option an command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild the library

my 5th ten iPod is basically doing nothing but trying over and over again to start up. I've tried to restore it, but when the logo apple appears, it simply shut down. Then I've connected it to my macbook pro, and I've seen the script "Please Wait - Very Low Battery", but, after some time, the iPod tries to start up again, and nothing happens. It's a kind of noise, I'm thinking about the hard disk, (it's a 80Gb version), and I'm listening to it; every 30 seconds seems to try to open and then shut down again. I can't see the iPod in iTunes too. Don't know what to do. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot, it's my first forum
It sounds like the battery could be going bad as well as the iPod's Hard drive. You'll want to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company. Here is Apple's pricing:

Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a ton of results to work with.

It's 0xC0000005.
When you use computers, you need to distinguish between O (oh) and 0 (zero). And you need to learn to count the zeros.

# Question
there are times when I try to start firefox 3.6 that it does not come up,but when I click it again, I get fire fox is running but not responding, close fire fox, or shut down computer. There are other times that it starts up normally wit no probs
..Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

Easy way to fix this download problem. Tech person nice but referrals to links WAY too complicated. I just want to easily load program I paid for.

Hello
I was having some problems with my Imac, for a while it was slow and often disconneceted from my wifi, while this one worked perfectly (tested with other devices)
I thoug i might have a virus, so i downloaded an antivirus (mac keeper) and started checking.
I also did a scan of my computer using Console or something from the utilities, and then a folder popped witha file I had canceled a while ago. I canceled the file and then my Imac continued to be slow.
i then restarted my Imac, but when it started, the usual grey logo of Apple appeared, and then it shut down suddently.
I tried to reboot it holding the command key and R but nothing, and then i tried holding the shift key and a bar appeared, and at half of the bar it sut itself down again.
I think it is probably a preoblem because I may have cancelled some of the system files from a folder called "private" in the "documents" folder.
Is there any way I can recover some of my files? maybe all of them? I hope so because I have some important files there
Is this a thing I can do myself or do Ineed to go to a MacStore to repair it? Will I need to change HD or just to format it and reinstall? also if there is any way i can recover some of my files that would be great.
Thanks
Ludo
P.S. problems appeared when i installed the Mavericks version.If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk. -
Mini display is shutting down computer.
I've been using a mini display to HDMI cord for awhile and nothing has been wrong with it until the other day. When I plugged the mini display into the port on my 13 inch MacBook Pro, it just shut down. Does anyone know why?
This isn't a new RAM issue as I haven't installed any. When I re-installed all of the software from the ground up, I did an erase and install, so the whole thing should have been basically wiped before I installed the Mac software.
