FF downloaded. opens but after 30secs closes down of its own accord.

The latest version of Firefox is installed.
I can open it without a problem but after about 30 seconds it closes down.
When I try to reopen nothing happens.
The trouble shooting "auto Add" does not work and I cannot do it manually because I cannot open FF

Hi missouri75,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to create a new user profile and test again. If not, you may try it. Have you tried to install latest updates for Acrobat.
You may also try repair disk permission in safe mode.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US Repair disk permission: Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk - Battle.net Support

Imac G5 shutting down of its own accord

now I know the first thing you will say is check your system settings but I have, have taken off all energy saving functions etc.
I switch on my machine and read emails etc, sometimes open Quark/Photoshop ready to start work, then go away for an hour (school run etc), when I come back it has shut down, I have not seen it doing it so can't say if it comes up with an error message but when I restart I get no error messages at all, and all works fine, have no other problems. It has only started doing it over the last week and I'm stuck as to what to do to fix the problem can anyone help?
Cheers

If, in Console, you see messages about maximum temperature exceeded for 30 seconds, you have a thermal problem, either a failing Power Supply Unit, dried thermal paste, bulging or leaking caps or a bad connection.
Plenty of choices, you can open your machine and look to see if any of the caps is leaking or swollen, you can also clean all the dust out of the machine and make sure the fans and air vents are clean.
Then reset your SMU:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
After that, reset the PRAM and please post back and let us know how things went.
It would also help if you would list the exact model of G5 iMac you have.

Firefox shuts down of its own accord when I haven't touched the pc for some time, usually overnight.

As above. When I restart Firefox it always opens in the same position on the monitor and the same size window even though that wasn't the last position/size as when I left it.
This is not a crash, it just disappears.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

The results show that you have a proxy server set and this can often cause problems with iTunes.
The proxy setting can be accessed in Internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings.
Try un-checking the proxy server check box.
It might also be a good idea to run a malware check if you didn't know you had the proxy server set.
You can download a free version of an excellent scanner- Malwarebytes here:

Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

Hi BDAqua,
I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled. I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
Thanks for all your help.
Gratefully,
Cheri

Once i go to a place wherein there is no network, my phone says no network, but after i recover my network, its still saying that it still has no service. I try to put to airplane mode then put back to normal. I restart, then the network recovers.

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own!

My iPad air keeps shutting down on its own, and this is the second IPad Air doing this. I really don't want to go trade it in for another. Does anyone have the same issue and is there a way to fix it? And yes I've done the manual reset and computer reset.

Memory Size & The Impact of 64-bit Applications
The iPad Air, like the iPhone 5s, ships with 1GB of LPDDR3 memory. Apple frowns upon dissection of review samples but I think it’s a safe bet that we’re not talking about a PoP (Package-on-Package) configuration but rather discrete, external DRAM here. It’s also probably a safe bet that even the iPad mini with Retina Display will ship with 1GB of memory as well.
Something I didn’t have time to address in my iPhone 5s review was the impact of 64-bit applications on memory usage. I actually ran some tests after the 5s review hit but never got the chance to share the data, so I figured now is as good a time as any to do just that.
Unlike traditional desktop OSes, iOS doesn’t support paging to disk (or in this case, NAND). Application data can either reside in memory or the associated process is terminated and has to be reloaded the next time you request it. It’s a decision likely made to both maintain user experience and limit the number of program/erase cycles on the internal NAND.
The good news is that iOS was architected to run on as little hardware as possible and as a result tends to be quite memory efficient. There are also power implications of going to larger memories. The combination of these two things has kept Apple on the conservative side of increasing memory capacity on many iDevices.
The move to a 64-bit platform however does complicate things a bit. Moving to a larger memory address space increases the size of pointers, which in turn can increase the footprint of 64-bit applications compared to their 32-bit counterparts. So although there’s clearly a performance uplift from app developers recompiling in 64-bit mode (more registers, access to new instructions), there’s also an associated memory footprint penalty. Since the iPad Air and iPhone 5s don’t feature a corresponding increase in memory capacity, I wondered if this might be a problem going forward.
To find out I monitored total platform memory usage in a couple of scenarios. Before measuring I always manually quit all open apps and performed a hard reset on the device. Note that the data below is reporting both clean and dirty memory, so it’s possible that some of the memory space could be recovered in the event that another process needed it. I hoped to minimize the impact by always working on a cleanly reset platform and only testing one app at a time.
I looked at memory usage under the following scenarios:
1) A clean boot with no additional apps open
2) Running Mobile Safari with 4 tabs open (two AnandTech.com tabs, two Apple.com tabs, all showing the same content)
3) Infinity Blade 3 (64-bit enabled) sitting at the very first scene once you start the game
4) iOS Maps in hybrid view with 3D mode enabled, with a WiFi assisted GPS lock on my physical location
5) Google Maps in the same view, under the same conditions. I threw in this one to have a 32-bit app reference point.
In general you’re looking at a 20 - 30% increase in memory footprint when dealing with an all 64-bit environment. At worst, the device’s total memory usage never exceeded 60% of what ships with the platform but these are admittedly fairly light use cases. With more apps open, including some doing work in the background, I do see relatively aggressive eviction of apps from memory. The most visible case is when Safari tabs have to be reloaded upon switching to them. Applications being evicted from memory don’t tend to be a huge problem since the A7 can reload them quickly.
The tricky part is you don’t really need all that much more memory. Unfortunately as with any dual-channel memory architecture, you’re fairly limited in how you can increase memory capacity and still get peak performance. Apple’s only move here would be to go to 2GB, which understandably comes with both power and financial costs. The former is a bigger concern for the iPhone 5s, but on the iPad Air I would’ve expected a transition sooner rather than later.

My monitor screen scrolls up and down on its own by it's self? How do I stop it?

How do I fix a monitor screen scrolling up and down on its own?

Sabrasam,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I want you to try a factory reset on the monitor if you haven’t attempted one already.
1.       Press the Menu down in the bottom right corner of the monitor.
2.       Once the on screen display appears toggle down to factory reset.
3.       Select on that option
You might see your monitor go dark a couple times but that is normal. Test it out after the reset.

Macbook Pro 2010 upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite keeps shutting down on its own

I upgraded to OS X Yosemite about a month ago, I have a macbook pro 2010, and in the last two weeks it started shutting down on its own. At first when i'd wake it, the fan would come on loudly and then it would shut down. In the last couple of days, I would make sure all programs were shut when it wasn't in use and then put it to sleep but every time i'd return it would be shut down and need a hard restart. If i just pressed the on button lightly it wouldn't start. And when i turn it on the fan comes on immediately. I'm a publisher so I'm working in indesign and illustrator a lot but I keep a constant look out for my memory and this isn't the problem. I'm working to a deadline here and can't afford to lose my computer for 3 days in the mac store (I live in Barbados) to get it fixed. Any advise?
Thanks

MacBook Pro won't boot and shut down on its own.

Hi, I am running a Macbook Pro. My problem is that the OS froze during use, and I could not move the cursor. As which point I force shut down by holding the powerswitch. From that point onwards I could not get the machine to boot, it keep getting stuck at the grey screen with Apple icon. After loading at the grey screen for 15-20 mins it shuts down on its own.
I've tried to reset SMC (shift-control-option + power button) and PRAM (Command-Option-P-R) but it dint work. Please help. Thanks.

It appears your problem occured after you upgraded to 10.8.2, but if you did it right after the SSD and RAM switch then it's hard to tell exactly what is causing the issue.
I advise returning back to factory, hold command option r boot and wipe everything and reinstall 10.8
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If the problem continues, then make a warranty/AppleCare call, hopefully you didn't strip the screw heads or leave any other tell tale damage inside.
If your fine on 10.8.2 for some time, then switch the RAM and do a hardware test extended or Rember or Memtest to make sure the new RAM is not the issue.
If that's fine then Carbon Copy Cloner to the external SSD and hold option key down to boot from it and test that.
Then do the internal SSD switch and test that.
Take your time, Mac's are so finicky and you can't just slap this or that and expect it all to immediatly work like it should.

Beer might have gone into MacBook Pro from the back, shut down on its own 5 minutes later. what to do?

I'm currently working in Myanmar and no chance to going into a Mac service provider or store. I was using my Macbook Pro (mid 2010) when beer was spilled onto the table. I lifted the computer instantly and as i did not see liquid on the machine and also it had a protective cover i was sure no liquid got in. I removed the cover and it was dry but then 5 minutes later it shut down on its own and it would not turn back on or charge. I left it for an hour or so and then it turned back on and was charging but then since i thought that may be it was because some liquid got in, I turned it off again immediately and disconnected from power source.
what is the best way to proceed knowing i won't be able to bring it in to a technician anytime soon?

without on hand diagnostics, nobody can tell you the correct answer on that. No.
5 minutes later it shut down on its own and it would not turn back on or charge.

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.
