Equium A100 shuts down or freezes when I connect a USB device

I'm getting desperate now but everytime i connect a USB device which draws power from my laptop ie sat navi or mobile phone or ipod the thing just lock up or shuts down.
Any ideas will be extremly welcome; I have checked the battery issues and made sure that my power supply is in order but am at a loss!!!!

First of all you should reinstall the OS with the Toshiba recovery CD to ensure that this is not a hardware issue. Then you should update the OS to the latest state. All MS hotfixes and patches should be installed.
If possible try to update the BIOS. Sometimes 3rd party devices are not fully supported and therefore a BSOD could appear.

My Macbook is getting freeze when i connect with USB cable

After I updated to OSX 10.7.4 Lion (Default 64bit).I try to use the touch panel device that I using before. But it keeping occur system freeze when I connect the usb cable.
Sometime I can operate it normal but the percentage is very low.
What 's the problem on?

Could be a bad cable or the device isn't compatible with Lion and it is causing problems.

T500 shuts down/or freezes when I plug in my AC adapter and now will not start up.

I have had my T500 for two years and I have had endless problems with this laptop. My latest issue started with the computer waking up from sleep mode with a black screen. The computer just froze there and I had to force it to shutdown. When I finally managed to get it started again, the computer gave me an alert saying that a display driver had stopped working. The computer ran fine for a while before it would issue the blue screen of death then have the same black screen issue again and shutdown. Then it got to the point where if I have my computer plugged in it would not even get to the BIOS screen, it would simply loop-restart over and over till I unplugged it, pulled out the battery, put the battery back and turned it on again. Then it would not start at all if I had my adapter plugged in and if I plugged it in at all while the computer was running, it would freeze and after a minute would shut down and again continuously try to start up. Now, the computer will not start in any way, plugged in or no. The lights all turn on like it normally does when it starts up, but then it shuts off and repeats the same process over and over again.
I have no idea what to do this time and unfortunately being a student I do not have enough money to buy an external harddrive to back up everything on this computer. Frankly with all the problems I have had with this thing, I am considering just throwing it out.

Try making a bootable Ubuntu disc and running that for a while. It's possible your Windows install is hosed.

HT201413 My Iphone 4s shut down today. When I connected it to my pc it said that it was in recovery mode and that my phone needed to be restored. When I attempt to restore, I getting error message #9. I have followed all the suggested solutions for sec

I am still unable to restore my phone.

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

IPod 60GB Freezes When I Connect to USB

I read a lot of the postings related to this topic, but none seem to fit my situration.
I have an iPod 60Gb I have been using without problems, synching regularly with iTunes, since Christmas. In the past couple of days, when I plug it into the USB port, I get the "Do Not Disconnect" message, which never goes away. Toggling the Hold switch does not reset it. Pressing the center and Menu buttons for 6 seconds does not reset it when the iPod is plugged into the USB port, but it does reset it if I first unplug the iPod from the USB port. Once reset, if I again plug it into the USB port, it freezes, and I have to unplug and reset again.
I moved the USB connector to another port, with no effect.
When I plug the iPod into the USB port, it does not appear in the iTunes display (and if iTunes is not running, it does not invoke iTunes), nor does it show up in Windows as a disk drive under My Computer.
I thought perhaps the iPod was conflicting with another drive, so I fired up the Disk Management utility under the Windows System Accessories and then connected the iPod to a USB port. Even though Windows makes the sound of a drive connecting to the system, nothing shows up in the Disk Management window to indicate a new drive has been connected, or that anything is conflicting with an existing drive.
I have performed the first three of the five R's recommended by Apple - Reset, Retry, and Restart. I have not tried to Reinstall because I have the latest version of the iTunes and iPod software (2006-01-10), and since the iPod is not connecting via the USB port, I do not see how running the Updater on my desktop PC is going to be able to push any updates to my iPod.
I am trying to avoid the 5th R, Restore, as that seems a bit extreme and that it will result in a lot of collateral damage from slicking the hard drive.
Any suggestions?
Dell Dimension 8400 Windows XP Pro

Hi there,
I'm having the same problem too. I've even gone so far as to try the 5th R. Twice now. The first time, as long as he iPod remained in it's dock afterward, it would still appear in iTunes and on my desktop so that I was able to sync it properly. However, upon disconnecting it and re-inserting it in the dock it was no longer recognoized and reverted back to it's usual "do not disconnect" screen.
At first I thought that it might have been a cabling issue, as I'd around the same time that I'd first experienced the problem, I switched from the USB 2.0 cable to a FireWire cable beween the computer and the dock. However, upon switching back, the problem remained. Furthermore, I'd recently picked up a newer 5G iPod. I've had no problems with it at all. So the dock, cable and ports that it's connected to are all fully functional.
I tried the restore another time tonight. Once again, the restore was successful. It copied all of my music back to the iPod. However, this time the unit managed to get itself stuck back in the "do not disconnect" state again without my disconnecting it from the cradle after the restore. So it's even worse than last time.
In the Disk Utility, the iPod appears. I can use the Verify Disk tool and it appears OK. As well, I can eject the iPod from here, which is successful at making the "Do not disconnect" screen go away. However, upon disconnecting and then reconnecting the iPod to the cradle, it sends itself back into a tizzy -- the unit appears as a disk in the Disk Utility, but iTunes cannot see the device as an iPod, nor does it appear as one on the desktop.

Mouse freezes when IPOD connects via USB

Hello,
I recently purchased a 30GB Video IPod, however I haven't been able to put any music on It as the mouse (which is also USB like the keyboard)locks out.
I've tried switching which ports are used by the keyboard and mouse, and I've got the keyboard sorted. So it is just the mouse now. I've uninstalled and downloaded the new version of ITunes and IPod updater too.
Any clues to the solution fromanyone who's experienced the same. It's rather annoying. Hope you can help,
All the best,
Mark

I am having the same issue as well. My mouse is plugged into my keyboard, which is plugged into my apple monitor. I try to plug my ipod into the front of my G5 and the mouse and keyboard goes dead. Tried plugging things into different ports... no luck...

New ProRet: Slow when shutting down, mouse freezes

Hello everyone, I'm new here so welcome any suggestions if I'm doing something wrong. This is my first mac, I've always only used Windows.
My notebook is a Mbook Pro Retina 13inch mid-2014 (bought in Nov). Running OS X 10.9.5. Memory is 8GB and storage is 121GB (currently 75GB free), it only has the applications and the odd Word file, for itunes library and pictures we use an external hard drive.
I don't think I've done anything too bad to it, but I did install a couple of applications a few days before the computer started to go funny: Popcorn Time, but deleted it after 2 days. Then it went a little bit slow so I downloaded and installed CCleaner for Mac and ESET Cyber Security, in case Popcorn Time had virus or malware, but nothing came up in the virus check.
Up until last week, it was running okay, very fast turning on and shutting down, no freezing, no spinning beach ball. But last week, the display went distorted for under a minute (gave me time to take the picture I'm attaching) and since then, every time I shut it down, it takes longer than normal and shows a spinning wheel on a white background. Yesterday, the first episode of non-appearing pointer happened but very briefly, only a few seconds. However, today I was busy typing on Microsoft Word and when tried to use the trackpad, the pointer wasn't there, never appeared again, I could no longer even type anything and neither F4 or F3 responded. Tried Command+Option+Esc and nothing. Pressed shut down button for 3 seconds but the pointer didn't respond to click on any of the options, so had to force shut down with the button. Now I'm scared this will happen again and I will have to force shut down more than is safe.
In case it's relevant, we use the HDMI connection a lot to watch movies on a TV and the display does sometimes move around or briefly show horizontal line but I assume it's normal when plugging in a hdmi cable.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening and is there a way to find out what is wrong with it? I wasn't expecting to have problems so early on with a macbook :/
Any ideas will be most welcome (I've no idea about changing system settings or the like).
Thank you

The picture you have included in your post looks like your Mac may be having some kind of hardware graphics problem. (It's definitely not caused by a virus!)
I'd recommend making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your nearest Apple Store and have the techs run some diagnostics. Be sure to show them that picture as well, assuming the machine doesn't exhibit the symptoms during your appointment.

Random shut down and freeze

In the summer 2014, our family purchased Pavilion 23 touch smart all in one pc (model# 23-h109) from the futureshop. The Pc was shutting off and freezing randomly, so we returned it and exchanged with a new one. For some reason we didn't use the pc for about 5 months, assuming the new pc is working properly. After my laptop became unfunctionable, I started to use the pc then I discovered that the new pc was having same issue. At this point,exchange and return was expired at futureshop so they asked me to contact HP directly, so I did. I called the Hp support and they were telling me to follow unnecessary procedures (check the power, restart the computer, diagnoise, hardware check and etc.) when clearly it was hardware problem and needs to be sent in for repair, I felt like they were avoiding for the repair. Calling the Hp support didn't solve any issue or provided me with pleasant experience. If I were to call them again, I feel like they will ask me to do the same thing over and over. so this time I sent them an email explaining my situtation about 2 weeks ago, but havn't heard ANYTHING from them.
The shut down and freeze usually happens 3 times in one hour, so I have 25-30 minutes of usage then it restarts. This is very frustrating because warranty expiry date not much left. I have no idea what to do at this point, please if you're expert in this field, give me advice on which action to be taken next. Thank you for your time.

Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 %

Hi hello
Can i create mcx for shut down properly mac when battery is less 5 % ?
Thanks for your reply

You can create a mailing list by using the "Groups" feature of Address Book. Simply select "New Group" from the File menu. Name the group, and drag the contacts you need into the group.
In Mail, open up Preferences (under the Mail menu), and click on "Composing". Then make sure that "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" is unchecked.
The auto reply is a feature that is better done on your mail server, as you Mac can only send an auto reply when it is on, with the Mail application open. If you use dot Mac, you can set up a vacation responder through the web, and you can leave your computer switched off.
If you really want to leave your Mac on when you are on holiday, you can set up a mail rule (Preferences, Rules).

My computer had to be shut down this morning when I could move my mouse around but it would not respond when I double clicked on an item to select. Now I cannot open a file in my finder window by double clicking on it. Any suggestions?

Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

My I phone 3gs shuts down suddenlly but when i removed the sim it is working without shutting down suddenlly again when you insert the sim it started shutting down suddenlly

My I phone 3gs shuts down suddelly but when I removed sim card it started working without sudden shut downs, again when I insert sim card it started shutting down suddenlly.

I have Satellite A300 and until now everything works OK.
I would like to know what happen when you remove the battery and use notebook with power supply only. Does notebook shuts down again.
If not let OS run and put the battery.
Is the battery recognized properly? Does notebook switch off again?
To be honest I cannot imagine this issue has something with software or background processes. Recovery image you got with your notebook is designed for this certain notebook mode. Recovery image is tested and I dont think preinstalled OS has anything to do with this.
Full diagnosis?
And how to do this? You know very well that diagnosis can be done with diagnostic tools only and such tools have services only. I hope you will find answers but Im 99% sure there is nothing you can do about that. Maybe you should contact service, explain the situation and ask for help.

Should I shut down my computer when not in use

should I shut down my computer when not in use, overnight for instance?

Hello! Leaving it on 24/7/365 is perfectly acceptable. You may save some electricity but personally I think you'll pay for it with a more troublesome system. I do however set the monitors to go to sleep. I like the no startup lag time of running 24/7/365. That said, if I lived in an area prone to electrical outages or if my location was prone to lightening strikes I'd probably shut it down and unplugged. Of course with it being unplugged the pram battery may run down. These old G4's have been running 24/7/365 for years now. I do try to restart every few weeks just for good measure! In the end it's your preference. The hardware works best when a constant temperature is maintained. Tom
