Computer shuts off when cover is closed

My MacBook will not come back up after closing the cover. I must turn computer off ( manually) and back on to get it to come on.

We have three ports and I think another one too but I haven't tried it because my cable works on the other ones so why would hers work on the other port but not the one mine works on? if you know what i mean...and yes i used my cable for my mom's iPod and it works so I know it's just the cable, so what should I do like should I call to get a new one or something because think if I didn't have my cable, my mom wouldn't be able to do anything on her iPod yet! thanks for the help guys:)

Computer shuts off when win2k boots up

antec pp-352x 350w psu
MSI k7t266 pro2 mobo
athlon xp 1800 oem
512 mb pc 2100 ddr
geforce4 ti4400 128mb
western digital 60gb 7200
the mobo and cpu is new. everything else was pulled from my last system.
Everything is connected properly, bios recognizes all components, system boots as normal. However, when win2k starts up (you see the window screen and the bottom says starting up), the computer powers down.
Also when I try to set the fsb at 133mhz and reboot, the computer shuts off after two seconds. I have to reset cmos and set fsb at 100mhz for it to even boot.
I've fiddled with the settings and no matter what I do, the computer shuts off. Wink2k is a previous install, so maybe it doesn't like the new mobo? I've tried two different psu, same results. I've tested the memory and video card with my work computer, and got no problems. CPU temperature is only 38 degrees celsius (I'm using a coolmaster heatsink rated up to xp1900)
WHY does my computer turn off at the exact same time every time I power my computer!!?!?!?!?!

the cooler base has a raised bit in it,a step were it goes up
this is designed to give clearance over the top of the cpu socket which sticks up higher than the rest of it
put it the wrong way round and the cooler never sits properley on the cpu core
the fixing clip is in most cases on the step side of the cooler,so if its pointing down into the board you have put it the wrong way round

Your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. The gauge "thinks" you have 20%, but the battery doesn't agree. You need to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off, then charge for 4 hours with the wall adapter. You may need to do this more than once if it is way off calibration.

Computer shuts off when unplugged, resets internal clock

I have been having an issue lately with my mid 2009 MBP 13in where occasionally if the magsafe adapter is removed from the notebook, it will suddenly shut off. After about a minute, I am able to start it up again and it will be on battery power until I reset the SMC. When it does load up OSX, the internal clock is reset to some date in 2001 and I have to manually change it back to the present for everything to play nice again. It's been pretty annoying at times and I have no idea what would cause the computer to act up so sporadically. I can't recreate the problem on command, it just happens when I least expect it. The battery is fine as Coconutbattery shows a life of about 89% still. Does anyone have any idea what and why this occurs?

Remove the battery and inspect for any abnormalities. Check the contacts on both the battery and the computer. Also check your battery status under Apple Menu> About This Mac. Click on More Info and then the System Profiler will come up. In the left hand column select Power and see what your battery status is there compared to what Coconut battery said.

Computer shuts off when using Firefox.

When using Firefox on my XP machine, the computer shuts down while on the Internet at random. I removed FF and reinstalled it, and it still shuts my computer down while on the net. I swap over to IE and there is no problems so it's in the Firefox program. Did not do this until a few weeks ago. HELP

I had this same problem, searched the net, got frustrated, but finally worked it out. If I used Mozilla my computer running Xp would shut off, if I used IE I could surf the web. However flash was not working on Youtube. In the end the problem was simply that my version of Adobe Flash was not the current one, this was causing a software conflict, which in turn was shutting down my computer while running firefox. I simply went to the Adobe site, and updated to the latest Flash, and also downloaded a debugger program for IE. Since then everything is ok, Mozilla no longer turns off my computer, and IE8 works fine with Youtube.
Hope this helps, as it sure frustrated me at the time.

Computer shuts off when watching YouTube on Safari

My computer has simply shut itself off several times now, and each time it happened, it was when I was watching YouTube videos with Safari version 5.06.
A few times beforehand, Safari has crashed while on YouTube, and I got an error message saying something may be wrong with a Flash 10.4-10.5 plugin.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Computer shuts off when trying to play video

just yesterday any video turns off windows. goes black and the restarts news clips , movies, youtube turn it off. worked fine 2days ago.

Is it just in browser? Flash or any video? Tried Youtebe in HTML5/WebM? Wonky hardware acceleration settings? Faulty GPU hardware? Insufficient power from the PSU? Could be any of those, can you test a video in a stand alone player like VLC or Mplayer? Can you test with full acceleration on and off?
Just trying to narrow things down a bit. https://www.youtube.com/html5 you can find them easier using http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Youtube+WebM

Computer shuts down when calibrating

Hi.. I've been having problems when trying to run the Battery Calibration and the computer shuts off when it gets to the discharge part of the calibration. Seems to be when it hits the 15 to 20% part of the discharge. I'm using a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM and running Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. The battery calibration that I am talking about is when you first start the computer... press ESC to get menu and press F2 for Advanced Diagnostics then Battery Calibration. It checks to see if battery is there.. whether it is charged and charges if needed then goes into the drain battery part to find lower limit or 0% of the battery. It doesn't show any errors detected up to the part of discharging the battery and don't even show that the test was even run in the error log of the Advanced Diagnostic Menu. I've tried restoring the Bios to default values, uninstalling and reinstalling everything (programs and drivers), did a restore drive to original and updating everything and all is STILL the same. I've tried calibrating in Windows with the Support Assistant and all I get is the battery needs calibrated is this (after running calibration - waiting 3 hours plugged in and recalibrating:
Status (upper left hand corner): needs calibrating (20) and Charge capacity 51%
Over to the right side of the Screen: Failure ID - OK Design Capacity 4400 mAh Full Charge and Remaining Capacity: 2254 mAh Terminal Voltage: 12366mV Design Voltage: 10800 mV Cell Voltage1: 4148 mV Cell 2 voltage: 4125 mV Cell 3 Voltage: 4093 mV Status: E0 AC Power: True and a CT Number of 6BUED05BBZUE1G and showing a charge of 100%.
I realize the battery is getting old but all of this came on pretty much at the same time (short battery life and loss of calibration). I'm also running default values of HP Power Plan. Any ideas? Will a battery going bad cause all this? Why doesn't the Calibration when first booting the computer, shut down instead of doing the discharg/recharge thing... ? The power supply checks ok (checked with AC/DC meter).

is your notebook still in warranty? Warranty status check web page
It certainly seems by your description that the battery has issues.
Battery warranty is for one year, so it would be a good idea to replace it. Be sure that you buy a guaranteed compatible battery that comes with a one year warranty.

How do i get my hp officejet 4500 g-510-g-m to auto shut off when computer shuts off

how can i get my hp office jet 4500 g-510-g-m to shut off when my computer shuts down. i manually turn it off but some times forget

Hello Caddilacman,
I understand you want to have the printer to shut off when you turn the computer off.
Well I checked out the manual for your printer and I didn't see the option listed there, so I consulted with a printer expert and they explained to me this printer doesn't have that function. So you would have to manually shut it off with power button the way you’re doing it now.
Here is the link for the user guide for the printer to show any other questions that you might have.

MBP shuts down when lid half closed

Hope for some feedback. Quite a while ago (several months at least) I noticed that when I closed the lid the computer shut off rather than went to sleep. It seemed kind of random at first, and taking it in is a hassle. I did the troubleshooting at the reset the SMC instructions, and nothing else seemed to be going wrong. I mean I had had the mother board replaced 2x, a new screen, hard drive and a new fan,and memory upgrades since purchase. When I did go in the person at the Genius Bar indicated that probably it had to do with the system being out of date and it just wasn't getting the upgrades that later products were able to receive. Now, some of the mentioned repairs were when my Applecare had expired, believe me I asked if it was worth it to repair and I was told it was. I use Adobe CS3 for work and can't afford really to buy the latest as well as a new laptop. So I went home somewhat discouraged but just worked around it - remembered to do a shut down myself, or walked around with the lid open (not advised I know) and with the exception of a few times I just automatically shut the lid, I was coping, though frustrated. Yesterday it shut off with 37% battery left, so I reviewed the SMC instructions and redid. No difference. But I did notice when I took the time to close the lid slowly the shut down initiates when the lid is about 1/3 of the way down. Any ideas out there as to the mechanism? Could something be loose from all the hardware replacements? BTW, this is the very first time I ever found a person working at the Genuis Bar to be so dismissive. Anyone surfing the net this Labor Day week-end? Hoping for help. The machine is the 2.4 GHz Core Duo 17" running Leopard, the Snow Leopard is my sister's
