Big Problem with new PB SD-DL (shuts down each time)

Hello I have a big Problem with my new PB 1,67 SD-DL.
If I use it with the Powersupply there is no problem but if want to use it without the powersupply it shut down each time!!!
Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 3 minutes or 10 minutes... (remaining battery time 3 hours)
If I reboot it tells me that the system clock is before 2001 and I have set the right date.
What should I do? I have already made a PMU Reset but nothing happens.
The PB is 3 Weeks old and I have calibrate the battery correctly.

You state that you've already tried resetting your PMU. Perhaps you should try resetting your NVRAM & PRAM. Frankly, I think this is a long shot, but it's worth a try.

This is most often due to faulty battery. Apple Genius can perform a quick several minute battery diagnostic test. Make Genius Reservation.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

My iTunes shuts down each time I try to download a purchased song

Anyone out there who can offer any suggestions or help? I have purchased 2 songs using an iTunes Music Card, and when I go to view "Purchased Songs" there is nothing there. Then I go in and view my account and it shows that I have purchased 2 songs........so I try to download again, and I get the message, "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close (or shut down or whatever it says). Is there some other software I need to have in order to actually download songs from the iTunes music store? What am I not understanding? Thanks!

You may need to update to iTunes 10.7, which would require OS X 10.6.8.
But you can first try to reboot your computer and router/modem

Big problem with new WD Caviar Green HDD, please advise!

I bought a new Western Digital Caviar Green HDD 1TB, ( WD10EADS ) it is a SATA 3Gb/s interface HDD, 3.5-inch form factor. the RPM = IntelliPower (NOT 7200 RPM or 5400 RPM which means Rotate automatically depends on the needs of fetching data I suppose?)
I acknowledged that this series of HDD which three of 6 have the same Power Management which Read/Write = 4.9W / Idle = 2.8W / Standby = 0.4 W / Sleep = 0.4W
They are differ from the other 3, which 500GB one is 4.1W / 2.2W / 0.8W / 0.8W and 1.5TB is 4.73W 2.75W / 0.72W / 0.72W; 2TB is 6W 3.7W 0.8W 0.8W
Which mean the Standby and Sleep mode are the same state.
Now my big problem is, I bought an external dock SI-7908UI for this WD Caviar Green HDD.
( http://www.ssi.com.tw/product_content.aspx?id=92 )
So I first put the HDD into the SI-7908UI Dock ( USB 2.0 / eSATA / Firewire 400 /800 )
I tried many way of sequence of who power on first? WD Caviar Power on first? or Mac mini Power on first? I found that the best way is Mac mini Power on first, then Power on the external HDD.
OK, before I address my big problem, I should let you know, I found that there is NO S.M.A.R.T. working when you put a S.M.A.R.T. HDD outside the Mac or PC. In Dock, the S.M.A.R.T. won't work, That's how I saw in System Profiler, the FireWire tab says " S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported "
and I did test a Non-Green Maxtor HDD, the S.M.A.R.T. doesn't show either. You'll need this info before the real problem I'm gonna say in the following.
NOW, about 10~15 minutes after my Mac mini boot, if I didn't fetch anything from my external HDD, it would goes to sleep itself, that confirmed that the Specification Sheet was true, the Idle = 2.8W and I believe it goes to Idle, NOT Standby or Sleep, which I also believe the Standby or Sleep signal is supposed to be given by Mac OS, but it sounds like Standby or Sleep, BECAUSE the WD HDD suddenly not rotate and the sound it appears that it goes to SLEEP, am I right? I keep Mac awake by browsing the web so Mac mini won't go to sleep (I set 10 minutes in Energy Saver and I checked Put the HDD to sleep when possible)
Well, That is my big problem when WD Green HDD goes to sleep, because I CAN'T wake it up, NOT eject or Shut down the Mac mini. (OK, I'm NOT sure if it goes to Sleep or Idle)
First I thought it freezes the whole Mac OS, then I found I still can move many things, such as I am doing right now, post this big problem here. but I am sure the others are freeze! and no matter how many time I click Shut Down or Restart or Force Quit, the Mac mini didn't respond.
I tried to figure it out because I don't want to Shut Down by force.(5 seconds Press the Power button)
then I found that if I power down the external dock 7908-UI when Mac fail to shut down/restart/or eject the external HDD, It worked.
And the Mac OS will appear a window says that "I shouldn't unplug an external device without Ejecting it first" something like that. and suddenly it shuts down very quickly, everything back to normal, it shut down successfully.
What am I gonna do with this? Am I going to power down my external HDD first every time I want to shut down/eject/restart? Because the Eject the external HDD will cause freeze too! Freeze Finder I suppose.
Is it caused by 7908-UI ? or Caused by WD Caviar's Green Power management?
Because I don't trust 7908-UI, it doesn't look like a trusted brand, I've never heard of this SSI company anyway.
What am I gonna do? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Please realise that I am not the right person to be asking. I pointed you to a thread where, as a Moderator at the Bombich forums, I felt the need to warn users of CCC that a WD drive might cause problems. The thread mainly just copies what WD have said.
Obviously your drive will respond/awake/spin up when you access it manually. Some of the problems are...
•  Most users want to be in control of whether and/or when a drive sleeps -- WD's auto-sleep cannot be disabled and so precludes that.
•  Most users want their drive to obey settings in Energy Saver -- the WD auto-sleep mechanism doesn't allow that.
•  Most users want a scheduled cloning/backup to take place during the night. The cloning app starting the backup process should cause the target drive, if sleeping, to wake/spin up so that the process can take place -- it does for all drives except WD drives where the auto-sleep mechanism used doesn't allow it. LaCie drives, for instance, have auto-sleep +as an option+, during which the drive will respond to Energy Saver settings and to software such as a cloning app.
Please, Mauricette, put you questions/concerns/problems to the reseller or to WD, both of whom took your money without warning you. I am NOT a WD expert! ...or lover! ( ) I became more than disenchanted when I saw that a) WD do not point out the limitations of their external drives at point of sale, and b) WD put the blame for these inadequacies/problems/limitations onto Apple, ignoring the fact that no drives other than WD drives have them.

Big Problems with new macbook

I was wondering if anyone else was having serious fuctional problems with a new macbook---I bought mine a few months ago and sometimes, for hours at a time, it refuses to turn on. I have gotten it repaired several times. I bought an apple because I heard they didn't have these sorts of debilitating problems. Is this common? Does it go away? I have had it repaired at the Apple store twice and the isue always comes back after a week or so? Did I just get a lemon? What would you apple devotees do in this situation?

Kathleen, these problems aren't normal. Usually the quality of Apple products is top shelf but every now and again a stinker will get through. I think you got a lemon.
Call AppleCare and tell them of your continuing problems, be polite but firm. If the first person you speak to isn't able to help ask for a manager. Once again be polite and have them look up the repairs on your Mac. They should agree to excahnge your troublesome Mac with a new one.
Don't wait longer...your Mac is almost new and the problems aren't going to go away...they'll more than likely get worse.

Problem with dual monitors - unresponsiveness and shut down

Hello there!
I've been happily using a 2010 Mac Pro since March with a Radeon 5870 card and two Apple displays connected to the card with mini-displayport cables.
Recently, after I installed Lion, the secondary screen has been acting strangely; sometimes, while I can move my cursor without any problem on it, I can't click on anything. I click and the program, such as Apple Mail or Reason, just doesn't respond in any way. Moving the program window to the main screen solves the problem.
Moreover the secondary monitor sometimes shuts down for a second, displacing in the meantime all my windows to the main one. It always comes back instantly.
Finally, when I use Windows 7 the secondary screen isn't even recognized anymore; it stays black and windows doesn't see it.
I tried of course to unplug and reconnect both monitors a few times but the problem, which in Lion is sporadic, remains.
Any ideas?

There ARE problems hooking up multiple DVI displays. But Mini DisplayPort displays are supposed to "just work" according to this article:
Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
The other issue some users have is not completely seating those Mini DisplayPort cables or adapters. The connector must be inserted into the jack until essentially ALL of the metal part disappears.

10.4.6 update problems with isync and idisk, and shutting down.

I downloaded the 10.4.6 update and my Idisk no longer mounts automatically after logging in. I can make it mount if I do a search for it, and then double click on the icon. Once it does mount, it will not sync when I add new files to it.
I have repaired permissions a couple of times, but it still doesn't work. I also can't shut down until I see an error message about "mirror agent". What should I do?

This is the iPod nano forum.
Don't you need to post this in the Tiger Forum?

Pc wont shut down properly i have to force shut down each time.

I have recently started using firefox. Everytime i shut down the pc it will not shut down automaticlly...It says firefox is waiting for a programe to close and for windows live messanger to close..I wait and nothing Happens so in the end everytime i have to force shut down my pressing force shut down button. This also happens on logging off to switch to a diffrent user. This happens everytime i close down.

The following may not completely eliminate having to terminate Firefox through the Windows Control Panel but it will come very close.
'''Plug-in and tasks started by Firefox may continue after attempting
to close Firefox''' The "X" in the upper right-hand corner closes the
Window (same as Ctrl+Shift+W) but even if it is the last Firefox window,
it does not necessarily close Firefox .
The only '''proper way to exit Firefox''' is to use '''Exit''' through the
File menu, not the "X" in the upper right corner of last Firefox window.
In the Beta that would be Alt+F then X
* '''Firefox hangs''' | Troubleshooting | Firefox Support <br>http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20hangs#w_hang-at-exit
Use the '''Windows Task Manger''' to remove all running firefox.exe in the "'''Processes'''" tab of the Windows Task Manager, then restart Firefox.
If Firefox will still not start, remove the parent.lock file from the profile which is created each time Firefox is started to prevent other Firefox tasks from running, see<br>
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use#Remove_the_profile_lock_file
'''Avoiding Problems with close/restart''' ''choose either extension''
:Use to close and restart Firefox after enabling or disabling an extension, switching to a new theme, or modifying configuration files, then you don't have to worry about delay or have to look in the Task Manager to see if Firefox is closed yet.
Both extensions use the same keyboard shortcut "'''Ctrl+Alt+R'''" or a file menu option.

ITunes for Mac 7.7.1 shuts down each time I open it

Each time I open iTunes for Mac 7.7.1, iTunes shuts down. This problem has only just started occurring today on my MacBook that is running OS X (10.5.4).

Solved it!
I added a proxy "PAC" file web link yesterday to access my University's intranet system within "System Preferences" and once I removed this, iTunes started working again.

Big problems with new site

Sorry to repeat what has already been posted, but talk about a runabout.
The new site seems to me to be totally hit and miss.
I wish to retain my paper bills, and so do not wish to upgrade my account and have tried to access my latest bill etc.
I managed to get there once but I am totally bemused as to how.
The posted workaround does not help and I am getting somewhat frustrated to say the least.
Please lets have the old site back.
At least it worked.

Big problem with new Mac Pro

Last night I left my computer to do some work, I set it to no sleeping but turn off the monitor. This morning I couldn't get any video feed from my computer, so I had to force it to shutdown. Now I try to turn it on and it won't boot completely into OS X. I see the Apple logo and then a sky blue screen but it just stops there. I tried to boot into the DVD installer that came with my system and the same thing! It will not boot into it completely! Stuck at blue screen. What's going on?

One thing I have learned over the years, a severely corrupt directory on a drive will prevent booting. Why? because even a CD/DVD still will try to read and mount the drive and detect other system volumes.
As a test, pull the drive and try rebooting. Then install OS X to another drive if you don't currently have a bootable clone.
Disk Warrior preventative maintenance or at first sign of trouble is pretty much a 'must.'

Help! Big problem with new iphone update: infos & contacts disappeared from my iphone!

Hi,
I tried to update my iphone, it seemed to work but to let my iphone completely empty: no more phone numbers, pictures, etc.. in it. I thought I could pick the info on my itunes in computer but apparently the update broke the itunes program as well: it says that some elemets are missing... does someone have an idea??? THANKS SOOO MUCH!

Contacts and calendar events aren't backed up? That's a complete load of hokey. They are backed up, and I ran into a similar problem and recovered them FROM the backup. Here's my post:
