Crashing when battery 2/3 used

I have been experiencing some crashes when on battery power. I'm using a MacBook Pro. When the screen goes blank I expect it is just the battery loosing power. When I plug it back into main power it does not wake but needs to be restarted. Very unusual. Any ideas?
I really am trying to avoid reinstalling the OS again.

I too am having this problem, it generally happen around 35%. it started when i updated to 10.5.3, the install wak abnormal and then this problem started to happen. i hoped that the 10.5.4 would solve it, but no such luck.
my system doesn't give me any warning, the running on reserve power notice is nowhere to be found!!!!!
what is going on? how do we fix this?
thanks
DDR

  • Since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    since upgrading to mavericks my applications crash when i try to use the print dialogue

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Firefox crashes when I try to use DataLoad, and I was able to use this program a month ago.

    In the recent past I have been able to use a program called DATALOAD (shareware) to load data into Firefox web forms (specifically web based sales tax returns).
    However, now every time I try it now Firefox crashes, so I am forced to use IE (which I hate). The last time I used Dataload was in April 2011 (for my quarterly tax returns).
    On of the latest updates to Firefox must have a conflict with this program.
    Can you please research to see what changed in Firefox to make it crash when using Dataload? I do not want to use IE if I do not have to.

    Hmmm, That is very odd. What is the link you are using? Are you logged
    in to YouTube?

  • Photoshop CS3 crashes when I try to use text tool

    I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 after upgrading to Leopard on my Mac. Everything has been fine until today when I tried to use the text tool and it crashed the program. I've since tried using the text tool repeatedly and it consistently crashes. It doesn't crash immediately after I select the text tool, but only a few seconds after. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried searching and couldn't find anything.

    FontAgent Pro can be directed to any folder on the computer to load the fonts that are contained there and will then manage them.
    That said, I removed just about all of the fonts a long time ago from Macintosh HD/Library / Application Support/ Adobe /Fonts / Reqrd/ Base
    except for the few basics which certain Adobe programs must have available (like Myriad).
    More recently, Adobe installs its fonts in a different folder: Macintosh HD/Library/Fonts.
    If you don't want that lot showing up in Photoshop's font menu, either remove them from that folder or put that folder under FAP's control.
    The other fonts that I never use, and which clutter Adobe's font menus, are a bunch of Asian fonts.
    They are installed in System/Library/Fonts (which is an area that we are advised never to touch) but I removed the Asian fonts from there and there have been no repercussions so far!

  • Photoshop crashes when I try to use Stationary & Layouts Wizard

    When I open "Photo Mail" and it open the Stationary & Layouts Wizard the program crashes.

    Hi,
    If you are using Win7, you might like to try this
    1) Create a shortcut to the the organizer (PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe)
    2) Right click on the shortcut and select Run as administrator (even if you are an adminstrator)
    3) Try the Photo Mail process again
    If it works, then you can close organizer and try again without the Run as administrator
    Good luck

  • My phone keeps crashing when I try to use the camera or apps. how can I fix this

    Most times when I try to use my camera, post a pic on instagram, or add lives on candy crush my phone just crashes. And by crashes I mean it goes to a black screen then to my home screen. Really frustrating! Any suggestions?

    Since this all happening when using an app, you can try doing a reset.
    Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Flash CS4 crashing when scrubbing playhead or using certain tools

    I am currently having the unfortunate experience of learning Flash Pro as part of my degree program at school. I have been having a problem with the program crashing repeatedly. I have CS4 Web Premium, an educational discount edition, and am using it on an HP pc with an AMD Athlon and Nvidia v-card. I have had problems with it crashing on this computer when using tools such as the deco-tool and sometimes when transforming something. The real problem is when I try to use one of the Dell pc's at school to work on a file I have created at home on the HP. On 4 different machines at school Flash will crash when working on one of these files, especially when scrubbing the playhead on the timeline. The program will crash over and over, to the point where I can't really work on these files at school, which is a huge waste of time. I have heard of problems with corrupt fonts, and restoring preference files but also wanted to see if these problems sound familiar to anyone.

    Thanks for your reply. I have the 10.0.2 Flash update on my pc, I'm not sure about the machines at school but I'm guessing they do as well. I also have 6gb of ram, and am running 64bit windows7. The pc's at school are new Dell's running widows7 and I would think they have at least 4gb of ram. I've attached a file that crashed when I scrubbed the playhead on the pc's at school. I don't have that problem at home. Thanks again for your help.

    I would check a couple things - whether the Flash CS4 installations (the ones that crash) have been updated to 10.0.2, and secondly what the machine specs are (how much RAM). There were a number of issues (including crashing while scrubbing) that were worked on at great length for the updater.  If the updater has been installed and the machines have more than 2 gigs of ram, it would be great if you could link to a file that crashes while scrubbing so I can take a look.
    Thanks.

  • InDesign CS3 Crashes when try to print using Lion OSX 10.7

    Ever since installing Lion, moving from snow leopard, InDesign will not print, but crashes when trying to get the print dialog box. I can print by generating at PDF of the document and then print from Acrobat 8.3.0. This is a work-around, but what do I need to do to now be able to print from InDesign, using Lion, to my EPSON WorkForce 635 printer.
    Everything worked fine from Snow Leopard, but I do not want to go back to an older OS now.

  • Xorg crashes when suspending to ram using kernel 3.11-rc4

    Just doing some testing with 3.11 (rc4) and I find that X crashes when doing a suspend to ram.  From my logs:
    systemd-sleep[1558]: Suspending system...
    kernel: PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
    kernel: PM: Preparing system for mem sleep
    systemd-coredump[1561]: Process 929 (Xorg) dumped core.
    This aborts the suspend but leaves me with no display and I have to hard reboot.  Suspend to ram works fine if just at the console (multi-user.target).  Also, using 3.10 works fine with the rest of the system the same.
    Does anyone else see this? 
    I'm using xorg-server 1.14.2-2 and the Radeon driver with the following hardware:
    $ lspci -s 01:00.0 -v
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Apple Inc. MacBookPro8,2 [Core i7, 15", Late 2011]

    I'm also after debugging tips.  How can I recover the core dump from systemd?  And how can I get debugging symbols without having to rebuild the binary?

    I' using kernel 3.11rc4 with nVidia driver 325.08 that works very well, because system hang when resume from suspend with kernel 3.10.x and sometime kernel 3.9.x

  • InCopy crashes when adding a note using the Notes Palette

    I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem. Frequently InCopy (CS3 5.0.4) will crash when attempting to add a note from inside the notes palette.
    Using the Notes Palette is not always the most efficient. With the curser placed where I want the note (outside a table, of course), the New note option will be grayed out. I then click through the notes already in place and navigate to my current location. After that, the New note option appears. (I would use the Note Tool as a rule, but it is very challenging to place the note right where I want it.)
    I have noticed, that if I save right before attempting to add a note, InCopy will not crash. This may be supersition, however.
    If this matters, the files I am editing come to me via InDesign as InCopy packages. I am on a new MacBook Pro with 4 GB ram.
    I am just wondering if this is a known issue and if there is a fix in the works.
    Terry

    I've not heard of any kind of issue like this but I can tell you that CS3 will not receive any further updates.
    BTW, if you use the story or galley view, inserting a note is far easier.

  • HT201071 EOS Utilities crashes when I try to use it to import camera images.

      The camera is a Canon EOS %5D Mark III.  Ever since I upgraded to Maverick EOS utilities crashs when i connect the camera.  Does this always happen?  It was fine before the upgrade.

    tonyw36 wrote:... Does this always happen?...
    Not always, but some older versions of some software is incompatible with some
    OS updates.
    However, RoaringApps's compatibility review website indicates that Canon's EOS utility should work with OS X 10.9.  Try downloading and installing the latest EOS software.
    According to the relevant Canon USA support page, there is no EOS 5D Mark III software update available specifically for Mac OS 10.9 at present:
    If your trouble continues,  contact Canon for info on their planned update schedule or workaround help.
