Brand new macbook shuts down and do not need the update
I am a very new macbook user. My computer is only some weeks old and has started to shut down several times a day. It tells me to press the power buttom because it has to shut down. There is a update on the apple website that is supposed to fix problems with shutdowns but when I try to install it there is a message saying ¨your computer do not need the update¨... What should Ido? Return it to the store and ask for a new one?
Most greatful for some help

This is the second time since I got my new 5s that when I wake up it isn't on and not charged. I cannot get it to turn on. The last time it did this was about a week ago and it spontaneously turned on later in the day with minimal charge. What is going on? I do not have anytime to run back to the AT&T store to get a new phone and I am reading that this may be a software issue. Anyone frustrated with their 5s?
Hi there lmarkis,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file.
Help! While editing a photo in CS3 the program shut down and will not reopen my psd file. The error message reads "cannot complete your request because of a program error" -- it is a very large file (I have been saving it all along) and I had just "flattened layers" and went to open up a new, blank photo file when it shut down. Is there anyway to get this file to open? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (p.s. after reading a couple of similar threads, I have a feeling it's hopeless. But I'd also like to know WHY this might have happened!) Thanks in advance!
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to respond and for sharing the article--I did panic. Here are the details of my system:
Model: HP p7-1247c
Processor: AMD A8-3820 APU with Radeon HD Graphics
Installed Memory: 8 GB (7.48 usable)
System Type: 64-bit
Windows 7 Home Premium
I am using Photoshop CS3. It seems that I can work on photos and save them. But I am unable to open them back up. I have tried saving the files as psd and tiff with the same result. The error message is: "cannot complete your request because of a program error"
The interesting thing is that I can open up InDesign and "place" the psd file within InDesign (then export and save as a jpeg). So I don't think the files are necessarily corrupted. I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it last night, but there's no change.
If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it. Or, should I repost my question with this more complete info? Thank you! -
My Ipad2 just shuts down and will not turn on. Rebooting does not help. He switched on when I start charging it. In this case, the battery is charged.
Standard troubleshooting steps in the following order:
1. Reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the apple logo, then release. Ignore the slide to power off.
If no change, continue:
2. Restore your phone from a backup, note: if the problem is related to corrupt data, while this will restore a fresh OS, it will also restore the problem.
If no change, continue:
3. Restore as a "new" phone in itunes & re-sync your content. All saved data will be lost.
If no change, make an appointment at an Apple store. -
My mom has a brand new Macbook Pro which was set up at the Apple Store and now she cannot get it to accept her log in info. What should she do next?
Thank you sig--it seems in talking to her on the phone that she was not giving me the info correctly and she couldn't get into her bank account, NOT the computer. The computer is fine she was just frustrated with the bank's system and feeling alone with no help handy...
I appreciate your reply. Thank you. -
I started the lastest iPhone 5s software update then my phone just shut down and will not turn back on. I've tried the home button, the button plus the top right button together for 20 sec, plug it in and nothing
Plug your device into the original charger & block in a wall outlet and leave it alone for a couple of hours. Then, while it is still plugged in, restart it by holding down the home button and the power button for 10-15 seconds until you see the Apple, then let go.

I was charging and updating my mini ipad last night when it suddenly shut down and will not turn on since then. What do I do to turn it on again?
Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased.

New iMac shutting down and starting up randomly
My new iMac shuts down and starts up at random (over and over again usually in the first few minutes of start up). I ran a test with the TechTool Deluxe and the test involving "video" failed (all other tests passed). What do I do now? Help!!
Thank you!Welcome to Discussions - if your iMac is new, it's an intel and you can post on their forum, they'll be able to he you better. However, your first thought should be to call Apple, you have 90 days of free telephone help, and a year's warranty. Since what you are describing sounds like a hardware problem, even if you 90 days are up, call Apple (they will provisionally charge your credit card, but will remit the charge if the problem is hardware related). They will take care of the problem.

My iphone 5, 32g keeps shuttng down and restarting, sometimes at night, it just shuts down and will not restart.
This can happen with faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again?
My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again....what can I do?
Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes charging before it responds) then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
