Computer intermittently shuts down but when i'm using the batter

My MacBook will shut down unexpectedly, even when the batter is charged! This only happens when i'm using the battery to run it. If I plug it in, this never happens.
Any suggestions??

Have you done the battery update?
You might try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.
If none of this works contact apple you may have a bad battery.

    Hello vina8sy,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

    How can I get firefox to shut down automatically when not in use for an hour

    Sorry, there is no feature for that built into Firefox, and I haven't seen an add-on to add that feature to Firefox.

  • IPhone 5 shuts down even when it's on the charger

    My iPhone 5 keeps shutting down even when it has full battery. It doesn't last more than 2 minutes on and that's when I am able to turn it on. When I connect it to the charger sometimes it just flashes the apple continuously. I noticed that when it's on sometimes it doesn't connect to the Wi-Fi and I have no signal it just says searching.  It just started doing all this 3 days ago, befire that it worked perfectly fine. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it?

    Probably a bad battery. See if it qualifies for replacement: iPhone 5 Battery Replacement Program - Apple Support

  • Firefox closes when I shut down, but when it is running, I can't see it on the monitor or find it in the Task Manager.

    When I open Firefox, nothing seems to happen. It doesn't appear on the monitor and the Task Manager doesn't list it as running. But when I shut down the computer, Firefox must be closed before shut down can be completed.

    The "System Tray" is located at the very bottom right of your screen and is a list of most/all running applications that will show in this list.
    For your SysFader issue, this "may" be the problem:
    1 Find the "My Computer" desktop icon and right-click it. A pull-down menu will appear. Select "Properties."
    2 Click on the "Advanced" tab. This will load a new page of options.
    3 Select the "Visual Effects" tab at the top of the window and deselect "Animate Windows when minimizing and maximizing," "Fade or slide menus into view," "Fade or slide Tool Tips into view" and "Fade out Menu items after checking."
    4 Click "OK." This will remove most if not all of the Sysfader effects, at the same time correcting related errors that used to come up during opening a new file or program.

  • How can I stop my computer from shutting down completely when I play fv2?

    Windows 7 64 bit.  My computer shuts down after 5 minutes of play on farmville2 and after about 20 minutes on farmville1 and gardens-of-time. I have followed all the instructions on the help page with no change. If anyone out there has any suggestions I certainly would appreciate them.

    Niel, thanks for putting me on the right track.  I had to go to the "advanced" section of the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences to find that option.  I had almost given up searching the 4 tabs on the main page in vain.
    But I found it and it's turned off
    Thanks again

  • I uploaded my pictures to iPhoto, and they were all imported. I then deleted them off of my camera. IPhoto suddenly shut down, and when I reopened it, the pictures were gone, but the album I made was there. Where might the pics be saved?

    Just wondering if you guys know if the pictures may have been saved somewhere, or if I can find them in Finder, or anything similar. Any advice?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    I have a similar issue with my older MacBook Pro 3,1 since Mavericks.  In Mavericks it would completely freeze.  In Yosemite it reboots.
    On my machine somehow it is tied to whether I have Wifi turned on or off (whether associated with a connection or not).  I typically use my computer near the router and turn off the wifi.  Since Mavericks if I turn off my Wifi, it will eventually crash so I have to manually disassociate but leave wifi on to keep my computer from crashing.  Not sure where the [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.coredav] errors fit in but I always see them shortly before a crash if wifi is off.

  • IPhone 3g shuts down randomly when not in use.

    I'm running iOS 4.0 on my iPhone 3G, which I bought used. It shuts down by itself randomly when not in use a few times a day. It never shuts down when in use or when plugged in. I've seen other posts on something similar but no solution. Please help

    I have a similar problem, it shuts down, when it's locked, it shut's down, when im using a aplication, it shut's down when im not using it, it's shuts down when it's even plugged in, some say it can be the battery but i dont think so.

  • Mac Shutting down automatically when not in use for awhile

    Please excuse my non techinical explanation of this problem !
    Model: Macbook Pro5,1
    OSX 10.5.7
    2.4 GHZ intel core 2 duo
    2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
    Im first time mac owner and have very little technical ability ... !
    Problem:
    Laptop shuts down automatically if idle for about ten minutes ... this time can vary.
    Prior to this happening it makes alarming noises which appear to come from the on/off button area. Initially I thought it was a CD banging ... but its not that.
    This is the extent of my diagnostics at this stage! I have limited warranty on (based in Ireland) was planning on getting extended apple care warranty only last week ... not sure should i still get the extended warranty now I know this problem exists, cant find apple service centre in Dublin and not sure if I would be covered under limited warranty.
    Any advice would be appreciated
    thanks

    Hi Bibii and welcome to Discussions,
    first of, you have posted in the Mac Pro section not the MacBook Pro section here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190
    Anyway, is this really a shutdown or is it just sleeping ?
    If sleeping check the Energy Savings settings in the System Preferences for when your MBP should go to sleep when inactive.

  • HT4111 I have an IPAD updated with iSO 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard and I went to pair the two up and the IPAD shows that the keyboard is paired or connected but when I type using the keyboard it does not transfer to the pad scene.

    I have an IPAD updated with iSo 7. Recently I purchased a logitech wireless keyboard.
    I went to pair the two up and the IPAD recognizes the keyboard and cites that it is connected.
    But I proceed to type the words do not transfer to the screen.
    Any suggestions? Techs at Best Buy state that the iSO 7 is not yet compatible with the keyboard manufacturers?
    How long before they are?

    The BestBuy guys are clueless.  I use a Logitech BT Tablet keyboard with my iPad 4 - used it before with iOS 6 and use it now with iOS 7 and it works just fine.
    A simply thing to try is to remove the BT pairing, reset your iPad (hold the on/off/sleep button and the home button at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears), then try repairing them.  You may have to force the keyboard back into pairing mode (on mine, there is a button on the underside, near the on/off switch, that I would press and hold for second or two to force pairing mode).

    Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset.
