Computer shuts down instantly with some flash sites

Hi, I'm not sure it's flash, there's nothing in the logs, it just shutdowns without warning nor anything... actually, power down is more accurate, as it stops working altogether, no init showing, no umounting disks, not anything.
any ideas on what might be happening?

looks like I found the problem: I was using the flash-pulse-compability-library thing without running pulse audio, I dunno how it was able to get the computer down, but now I uninstalled it, that no longer happens.

Computer shuts down with charge on battery and no warning

without warning and plenty of charge on my battery my mac book pro shuts down? if it just sits there in sleep unplugged it seems to run fine, but if its unplugged and i try to use it (with a charged battery) it shuts down with out warning. started about 3 months ago. Is the battery just old..?

It is almost certainly a sign that your battery is dying, timskins.
The problem is that when batteries deteriorate their internal resistance increases and they are no longer able to deliver power when it is demanded, even though they still have the ability to store it. They may chug along providing low power for quite a bit longer, but when your computer suddenly needs a bit more (because of increased CPU or GPU demand, or the HD spinning up or whatever) it is unable to provide it and the computer shuts down unexpectedly.
Think of it like driving a car with a bad fuel pump. Your car is driving along a highway with a full tank of gas. Its running smoothly enough. You put your foot down to accelerate up a hill or overtake a another vehicle and the engine dies because the fuel pump can't meet the greater demand for gas. The tank is still pretty full but the fuel can't be pumped in fast enough to keep it running in a high demand situation, so it shuts down.
See the section dealing with increasing internal resistance in batteries at http://www.batteryuniversity.com/parttwo-31.htm for more about such things, or http://www.buchmann.ca/Chap9-page1.asp for a longer, more technical, account.
Once this starts happening the only options are to get a new battery or to avoid any work that makes much demand on power (like visiting a "Flash" based website or, when it gets bad enough, even spinning up the HD from a stationary situation.) Unfortunately even with light use the battery will soon reach a point where the regular peaks of CPU and HD use will become too much for it and you will suffer more and more unexpected shutdowns until the battery is replaced.
My suggestion would be that you take the battery to an AASP or Apple Store, where they can quickly "stress test" the battery for you to make certain that in your case this is, indeed, the problem.

Some Flash Sites are not displayed with Flash Player 9

Hello everyone,
After having upgraded to Flash Player 9 I cannot view some
flash sites on either FF or IE.
I have checked around with other users also and they cannot
see them either.
Although the page seems to be loading with title etc. it
remains blank or it shows a blank block where it is supposed to be
the flash movie.
The problem is that it only happens to dynamic flash sites
that load text and images from external documents.
With Flash Player 8 they worked just fine.
The problem is that it is our company's page so we want to
have it up and running for everybody.
You can check the page here:

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance

When a customer's business website goes down after installing
Flash Player 9 he just wants the site back up. First I had to
figure
out that they installed the Flash 9 player and then I had to
go to the Swish site to find out that Swish files won't run right
on
the Flash 9 player unless they get patched first. After
running the downloaded patch on all the swfs on the site (yes
uploaded
correct files and cleared the cache) there were still odd
things happening. I didn't have time to analyze why this was so, I
just
had to put the site back up and fast. Now that I have that
site back up (I have others that will need fixing too, no doubt), I
will go back and test everything again with Swish.
There are a whole lot of hours being lost over this
Swish/Flash9 player issue. Regardless of who's fault it is, there
are many
Flash sites down now.

Computer shut down with ipod Nano

When I am moving songs (from purchased folder to the ipod) my computer shuts down. No BSoD or anything -- just a total shut down. I've updated all the ipod and itunes sofware.
Also, when trying to register the ipods (there are 3 new ones in the house, and I'm having to do the same on all - and getting the same shut down results with all) I get all the way through the registration process, but then get an error message saying that it was unable to perform that function.
I'm using an old USB cord from a previous ipod -- could that be causing some of the problems?

Seriously? No one is having this issue? Hard to believe I'm the only one...
I had hopes last night that it was back to working again - I was able to download about 5 tunes and one video, and got 3 songs transferred from the "purchased" folder to the actual ipod, when it shut down yet again. I think I'm on try #22.
I found another post somewhere that talked about shutting down some of the start-up processes and such, which I did, but obviously to no avail.
ANY HELP on this would really be greatly appreciated.

Help with ipod and computer shut downs...please.

I've posted this in two other forums to no avail -- lots of views, but no help.
My family now has 3 ipods (we only had 1 before) and yesterday I was trying to get them all set up - updates on the actual ipod, and I've updated itunes to 7.5. There are two issues here:
1) I am not able to register ANY of the ipods. I get all the way through the process to the very end and then it gives me an error message (after clicking the "No thanks" at the bottom of the page that asks if you want to download the videos) saying that the service couldn't be found? Or something like that. Ok, fine...I can handle not being able to register them for the time being.
2) I could keep itunes on all day long, as long as the Ipod is NOT CONNECTED. As soon as I connect the ipod (any of the 3 new ones - they all do the same thing) - ok, maybe not as soon as, but shortly thereafter - my entire computer shuts down. No error message, no blue screen of death, no warning - it just shuts down. It might be after I move a song from the "purchased" folder to the actual ipod. Or, as happened yesterday, it's right smack in the middle of a download (happened with both videos AND songs) and then of course, I have to try and purchase it again. I'm not even sure if it took my money already, but if it did, I'm SOL because I paid, but don't have the video/song since it never finished downloading.
I've done everything that's been recommended to me - I disabled all my start up programs (except the windows ones) and that didn't resolve anything.
My system is as follows:
Windows XP Home Edition (all updated except for microsoft office 2003)
Service Pack 2
AMD Athalon 64 3000+
1.81 GHz
2GB RAM
Not sure what else you need to know, to try and help me resolve this. Thanks for your time.

How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins installed?
Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto. Is there anything installed?

Computer shuts down with power cord removed

my macbook pro is just over a year old and has been working fine until just recently when the battery stopped working.
the battery shows up as fully charged put as soon as the power cable is unplugged the computer shuts down immediately. i've reset the PRAM and SMC a few times but it hasnt helped at all. it seems that it might even have started with the new battery update that came out but i couldnt be sure.
any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks
Macbook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Retired Engineer, would please you post a cite for "+...purchased between February 2006 and April 2007, the warranty on the battery was extended to 2 years.+"?
My finaceè's MBP is just over a year old, and thus past warranty. He already received a new battery about 6 months into ownership via the first replacement program.
Now the replacement battery has crapped out as described by andrewdavidson and myriad others.
We took it to the authorized Apple dealer where it was purchased. They found that the replacement's serial number is covered in the new battery recall, but claim that Apple refused to replace the faulty battery this time as the MBP's original warranty was finished.
So an official cite for the extended battery warranty would be much appreciated.

My computer shuts down with no error messege when i try to burn an audio cd

please help me my computer shuts down with no error message. If it helps i am using windows XP.

Put a standard audio CD in your drive and take a look at what is listed by Windows Explorer. You should notice something familiar. Take the CD that iTunes created and put it in a standard CD player. Does it work?

While working in iMovie, computer shut down and all imported clips from that project disappeared. The project still existed, with titles, but all video clips were gone from the movie as well as the computer library.

Clips were imported from SD card into iMovie project. While working on the project, computer shut down. When restarted, all clips from that event were no longer in the project, or in the computer library. Project existed, with titles, but blank spaces exist where clips had been.

OH MY GOD! This EXACT thing just happened to me! It didn't save my event and didn't show the date in the iMovie library but if I look under all projects, the project is there. Except that there are little blank place holders where all my clips were. Also the title of the project has a little yellow "!" symbol next to it which I can only assume means that the file is corrupted.
I can't believe it destroyed like 8 hours of work!
I have a 15" mid 2011 MBP and Mavericks OS.

Computer shuts down unexpectedly during operations

My computer shuts down unexpectedly during operations. The unit will run for about 20 minutes and then suddenly shut down for no apparent reason. When I try to reboot the machine it comes on and shuts down immediately. I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour before I can use it again. I am running windows 2000 as my OS and my motherboard is a K7 prom AMD. Can anyone out there help me? I am going crazy trying to figure this thing out.

Hi, I have the same problem. When windows (XP) starts loading it shuts down and restarts alone; sometimes it passes and loads complete but then after a while it shuts down. With the error free load option it is more stable but it also shuts down alone. I tried everyting that is on my hands: changed the agp to a pci VGA board, eliminated all other boards, flashed the Bios, changed the power supply, checked the Hard Drive, changed RAM, etc., etc. My conclution is that it has some relation with the VGA display but in the bios; if you use more graphics it shuts down.
My system is a 694D Pro-AR (MS-6321) mother board with Pentium III 1GHz, 768 MB Ram, Matrox G450 Dual AGP.

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

When my wife plays Cityville or Castleville, her computer shuts down. I checked the system logs and nothing is there regarding the shutdown. I tried changing the hardware exiliration setting and that didn't help. We've tried the games on Firefox and IE 8 with the latest updates and it still doesn't work. Any help will be appriciated.
The operating system, XP in this particular case, will shutdown the system to prevent damage to hardware if it encounters an instruction which can damage the system. It will usually logs an event which you can view by clicking Start, then in the Run field, type eventvwr.msc and click OK. Then open the both the "System" and "Application" submenus and look for events which are prefixed with a white X inside a red circle. The 6th column from the left will contain the Event ID which can be used to try and track down the source of the problem.
