Computer switches off while uploading

I have been making some changes to
http://www.lerosdiving.com/diving_pics.htm
and the template.
When I went to upload the pages 3 minutes in, the computer
made a humming
noise for a moment and then switched off (WinXP Prof, DW8 no
updates).
I restarted, tried again, same thing. Restarted, left the
computer running,
ran virus checker (AntiVir) with no adverse results and
uploaded images 3 at
at time (ftp via DW). PVII IGM btw. No problem at all. Tried
uploading
thumbnails folder, computer switched off.
I uploaded the whole of the site a bit at a time with no
errors or problems
this way.
Nothing else seems to be causing the PC to switch off in this
way. Does
anybody have the remotest idea what might be causing this?
[Two things: the PC does seem to have been running somewhat
slowly over the
last couple of days but obviously may have no bearing on the
issue.
Secondly, there was a power cut which trashed my usb drivers
yesterday
including hub (no mouse/keyboard, had to use adapter). I
uninstalled and
reinstalled them and all seemed fine ]

MacBook Pro switches off while plugged in

Today my MacBook Pro (Nov 2010, 13") just switched off while I was working on it. Adaptor was plugged in. Computer wasn't completely switched off, I still got the little white sleepinglight (not blinking) when I closed it, but the screen was completely black. I switch it off using the off-button, and switch it on again. It's working fine now. Should I worry that my MacBook will give up completely, just when the guarantee-period has past, and call Apple now, or is this just an occasional glitch?
I've also had two or three instances where it didn't wake up after being asleep with closed lid.

no that will happen when ur on them internally but if ur on the computer itself then it souldnt my did that while i had the keyboard removed so it should be fine if it only happend once if it happens again while ur on the computer then its overheating and u just need to let it cool its the video chip inside that overheats

When I try and open Quicktime the computer switches off and reboots. Help!!

I have been converting DVDs to MP4 to play on my new IPod Video. When I click on import in ITunes the computer switches off and reboots. I have reinstalled Quicktime but this has made no difference. I tried opening Quicktime and I had the same result. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. The computer reboots even when I only open Quicktime without running an MPEG4. I think the problem is with Quicktime but have no idea what it is.

I wish to keep my incomming / outgoing calls switched off, while 3g / E should be enabled, I dont want to be disturbed with incomming calls while surfing, is there some way to do this in Iphone 4.?

No. The only thing you can do is reject the call when it comes in.

If your iPad is not switching on then try a reset : press and hold both the home and sleep buttons for about 10 seconds when the Apple logo should appear (you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot).

Macbook battery not working - computer switching off - help!

My Macbook has suddenly started switching off when the power supply is disconnected, even though the battery should be charged.
This happened after buying a new macbook AC adaptor. My old 60watt adaptor has been getting quite hot, so I did a bit of reading on the web and bought a new 85watt adaptor, which is supposed to resolve the problem. I bought one off ebay - had no idea what I doing really so may have bought a dodgy one? It was £30 which I've been told (now!) is suspiciously cheap! I plugged it in once and all seemed fine then when I removed the magsafe adaptor for a moment my computer just sort of died, well, switched off. I now can't restart it from the battery at all. It works fine with the adaptor (I'm using my old 60watt one again now.) In the moment before I remove my adaptor, the battery looks 'fully charged' then just switches off.
I tried downloading BatteryUpdate 1.2 but it has made no difference.
What have I done?? Can it be fixed? Please help!
PS. Here is my info from the 'power' section within 'About This Mac':
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 4146
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 4146
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12592
Cycle Count: 236
AC Charger Information:
Connected: Yes
Charging: No

yea just made an appointment right now. kind of upset that this has happened. long time mac user and really haven't had issues with hardware. just can't wait to get my macbook working again! thanks again.

"And I estimate the battery to be ok, it works fine for many hours playing, even after fw-reload. "
I don't understand your logic. If you already used the battery for many hours, then it is likely to be quite weak. Alkaline batteries die gradually, and there might be enough power to get the player to play for a while, but not to switch functions. Try a fresh battery and tell us if you are still having a problem.

Phone getting switched off while talking

Hi...
I have been using my blackberry for more than a year. Now I am finding a wierd problem with my phone. When the charge is full there is no problem. While I am talking and when the charge bar comes to almost 3.5 bars, you get some disturbances in the phone, and then after sometime the phone gets automatically switched off. While not talking the phone still continues to stay on as long as the charge is there.
I took it to the AT&T store and they tell me that the warranty on this phone is over and I have to get the phone replaced with a new one which costs a lot.
Can someone please help me identify the issue and let me know what needs to be done?
Regards... Am.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Left Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

IMovie files (v6) corrupted after computer switched off at power button

I had two iMovie files open when my computer froze. I had previously successfully dropped both of these files into the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View (so that I could avoid using "themes" in iDVD — a tip I read at this site). When the computer froze (with the screen appearing completely fragmented with multiple colours during a play back in DVD Player of a DVD I'd burned of this same project), I had to switch the computer off at the power button, and since this happened iDVD will not allow these same two iMovie files to be dropped into the auto-play box in iDVD map view. I then tried dropping older movies into the auto-play box, and I've also created a new smaller 'test' movie to drop into the auto-play box and all worked OK. So it appears that the iMovie files that were 'open' at the time the computer had to be switched off are now corrupted. I can play them and edit them, but can't get them into iDVD the way I could before.
Does anyone know if these files can be repaired (easily)?
Would appreciate any help, thanks.
Cheers,
Lehla

N95 8gb switches off while taking a backup with co...

Hi All,
I have Nokia N95 8gb with FW 30.x. There is some problem when I try to backup my phone using the content copier on PC suite. The phone just switches off when it reaches the point of backing up device specific settings.
It shows a green tick for messages,calendar,notes,bookmarks etc. Then it fails at settings point. It successfully creates a backup files which is about 12 mb only. My previous backups have been in the region of 170+ mbs. So, something is definitely wrong here.
One other weird thing I notice when I bring up the 12 mb file for restoration, it only allows me to restore "user files from the phone memory". Even though it showed green tick for calendar,messages etc...it dont seem have been backed up.
I'm desperate to get this working. Any help will be appreciated.Thanks.
List of Nokia phones I've used: 3310, 3315, 3200, 6600,3250, N73 ME, N95 8GB, 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia X6 16 GB (currently using this).

well...strange as it may seem but I was finally able to take a backup of my phone. I could do it on another PC of mine running XP and having a very old version of PC suite - 6.83.X
I'm still not able to get it working on Pc suite 7.x and nokia ovi suite 1.1 on Vista

Iphone 4s Clock Alarm wont switch off while in a telephone call

I have a Iphone 4s (5.0.1). If Iam in atelephone conversation and the clock alarm is activated, I cannot switch off the alarm. Terminating the telephone call, does not give me the option to cancel the alarm.
The only option I have is to terminate the telephone call, and power off/on the phone to reset.

Correction. It is the Timer (under Clock app) that when triggers (as apposed to the alarm stated above) Apologises

My computer switches off during iTunes+Quicktime installation

Older version of iTunes was not adequate for my new iPod Classic 160GB, so I downloaded the file, but when trying to install it, the computer swiches off by itself.
The support service of Apple told me to uninstall and delete all previous iTunes and Quicktime files, so I did, but the problem persists and the only advise they gave me was to come to this forum. Anti virus is off during the operation and I don't know what to do next. So I don't have any music left ...
Please HELP

Could you say which version of XP and Service pack you are using? You can see this by right clicking on My Computer and selecting Properties>>General tab.
If I understand you, you computer crashes when you attempt to install iTunes.
Do you see any kind of error message on the screen when the computer stops?
If you see a message, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
For example:
Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
