Front Row shuts down unexpectedly when I'm look through my movie selections

I'm on a 15" MBP and I keep all of my movie files on an external USB 2.0 drive. I put an alias to the part of the external drive that has my videos in the "My Movies" section on my MBP so that front row would be able "see" the movies on my external drive. I have never had a problem with it. Now when I open up front row, select movies, go to my eternal drives alias and choose the folder that has my movies, front row pulls up the list of movies available. But it takes a long time for it to move to the next movie on the list and will always quit when I get around 4-5 movies down the list. Any ideas? I have around 60 movies in that folder, is that too many? Am I over loading front row? Any help anyone could give would be much appriciated! Thanks You!
MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This kind of ***** and is time consuming if you have a lot of movies, but it works. Make a seperate folder for every movie that you have and then put the movie in that folder. Front Row will glide through the folder names allowing you to pick the proper title quickly. It only seem to jam up when there are a lot of movie files in one folder. Hope this helps.

MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery

Today my MBP shuts down unexpectedly when on battery. It started at about 50%. I seems to happen if I don't a thing for a short while when I read something or so. I most of the time when using mu MBP have it on the net cord but today I wanted to work the battery.
Does anyone know what it could be? I have searched in the forum but the answers hasn't been satisfying. I find it weird that I have to use the keyboard or the track pad to keep going.

Not sure what the cause is but you can try resetting the SMC.

My macbook (aluminum 13inch) shuts down unexpectedly when battery 45%

hello there,
my macbook 13inch-aluminum, 2 years old, shuts down unexpectedly when battery state is at about 45% and when an external hard drive (western digital passport 160gb) is connected, or an iphone on a usb port. This occurs only when my mac is running on battery power. I suppose same thing will happen with any other usb device connected. Last time the same thing happened, i did not have any usb device connected onto my laptop.
My battery details are
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2377
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3234
Health Information:
Cycle count: 276
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): 376
Voltage (mV): 12249
I tried to reset my SMC settings as well, but this did not help. Any thoughts please?

Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it should be, even though your cycle count is comparatively low. If you still have AppleCare, you ought to be able to convince them on the phone or at your local Genius Bar that you have a defective battery, because your capacity should be much higher at that number of cycles.
If you do not have AppleCare, you will probably have to pay for replacement.

Windows 7 shuts down unexpectedly when I close my lid

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional x86, and recently when I close my lid my computer instead of going to sleep, which is what the power setting is set to, it shuts down. When I open my computer, I have to turn my computer on and when Windows loads, I get the 'Windows shut down unexpectedly' window. Has anyone heard of this happening or has had it happen to them or knows how to fix it?

Didn't find anything in the Action Center. But did find similar events that match the times in the Event View that said the following:
'The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error
could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power
unexpectedly.'
They all has the source as being Kernel-Power, Event ID of 41, and Task Category of (63). Searched Microsoft's website and it didn't return any results. Despite this, it hasn't happened since I originally posted this. Hopefully it doesn't start doing it again. Although one thing I remember it saying on the 'Windows has experienced an unexpected shutdown' window was something about a blue screen. But I never saw one. And I don't know what would even cause this to happen cause I never had this problem when I had Windows XP Pro on my Mac.

Black Macbook (Late 2006) shuts down unexpectedly when plugged in!

I have been having trouble with my Macbook shutting down unexpectedly for the past two weeks and got it checked out and it turned out it was the battery that needed replacement. So I'm using it without the battery but connected to the Magsafe adapter while my new battery gets mailed to me but suddenly it shuts down anyways! What could it be?

Hello Brine,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
According to the Apple support document below, just bumping the A/C adaptor could cause the Macbook to disconnect and shutdown. Are you positive that this isn't happening?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332?viewlocale=en_US
Otherwise, you may just have to wait and see if the issue persists when the new battery arrives.

Chrome shuts down unexpectedly when accessing finder such as when I upload pictures to Shutterfly.

It appears that almost every time I try to upload a picture from my finder into Shutterfly, or post one on Facebook my Chrome browser shuts down unexpectedly.

I've trouble shot the RAM pretty thoroughly. I have bought two 1 Gig chips, each from a different source. Each of the third party chips will run the computer all day long in the main slot, as will the Apple 1 gig chip. I can do heavy intensive work with only 1 gig and never have a problem.
I have also run memory tests on all three and they all pass with flying colors. Certainly it might be reasonable to try an apple RAM next, but at Twice the price, I'm slow to go that route. Both of the third party chips appear to be in good shape. They all are DDR2 PC5300 667Ghz. Both of the chips were procured from stores that I have used for 20 years and are well known to be high quality brands.
My thought is that there may be a problem with the upper RAM slot connector. Does anyone know if you can start the machine with RAM only in that slot? I might try that as another troubleshooting effort.

MacBook shuts down unexpectedly when the MagSafe is touched or removed

Hi, I got my new MacBook during November of 2009 but two weeks ago it started shutting down by itself once I touch the magsafe of the macbook or remove the magsafe. All it needs is a simple touch and it shuts down. When it does shut down, the light indicator doesn't come on anymore. I have to keep removing the magsafe, and plugging it back in like 20 times until it starts charging again. So now I just let it fully charge every time I use it since any sudden movement will cause it to shut down. I will be making an appointment next week at the apple store because I had no time to go these past 2 weeks. I never dropped it and take good care of it. I am just wondering what might be the cause of this? I hope they do not take weeks to fix the mac since I have a lot of homework to do... Thanks!

Anything is possible, but a firmware issue is not very probable.
Did Apple troubleshoot and repair your Mac? It's not the iBook as listed in your profile is it?
If Apple recently did the repairs and the problem persist then you should contact them, as they are obligated to fix it.
Did they for sure rule out the Magsafe adapter?
Which board did they replace? The logic board or just the DC board? Or both?

Front Row shuts down when ever I click on the movies button

I have read through the majority of issues on the DQ board. My problem differs as I can use iTunes, DVD, and iPhoto through Front Row but when ever I select Movies it just closes unexpected and I am back to the desktop.
Have rebooted, no go. I only have 2 movie files (less that 50megs each), no go. I am in the admin account.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
jz

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can you create a new use with the Accounts System Preferences, log out and log in as the new user? Do they encounter the same trouble? (With or without any movies in the new "Movies" folder? If they do encounter the same issue, then you have a system-wide or hardware problem. (It's doubtful it's a hardware problem.) Is your Front Row up-to-date? The current version is 1.3. Is your QuickTime up-to-date? The current version is 7.1.6. Since videos are played through the QuickTime Player (even if they live in iTunes), it's important that both Front Row and QuickTime are up-to-date.

Front row shut down without reasons

i use front row for many time now but one day unexpectally it shut down when i m in the menus of it
i had to restore osx , twice because it re happened two times
how can i fixe it?thanks

I'm not positive about the rear power button but I wouldn't do it on a regular basis.
Why not have the Mac Mini turn on at a specified time in the morning and have it shut itself down at a specified time in the evening? This way you never have to worry about it.
I am using my Mac Mini much like you are and have my Energy Saver control panel automatically start up and shut down via the "Schedule" settings.
I have my Mini plugged into my AV Stereo unit so when I want to watch regular TV on the screen, I just change the AV input to Video 1 (TV in my case). When I want to view the Mini on the screen, I change the AV input to Video 3 (in my case). The sound is also hooked up through the Stereo connections for Video 3.

That many cycles is amazing service. A battery that consistently shuts down at about the same charge level percentage every time probably has a bad cell (that info came form an Apple technician) and needs to be replaced.
It's given you far longer service than many of us get, and may be a new record around here for cycle count!

I have a similar issue with my older MacBook Pro 3,1 since Mavericks. In Mavericks it would completely freeze. In Yosemite it reboots.
On my machine somehow it is tied to whether I have Wifi turned on or off (whether associated with a connection or not). I typically use my computer near the router and turn off the wifi. Since Mavericks if I turn off my Wifi, it will eventually crash so I have to manually disassociate but leave wifi on to keep my computer from crashing. Not sure where the [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.coredav] errors fit in but I always see them shortly before a crash if wifi is off.

Macbook shuts down unexpectedly when battery reaches 20% and unplugged

I noticed this behavior after installing the Bonjour Update 2010-001 (version 1.0) and the Remote desktop client update (version 3.3.2) last night. Upon reaching 20% of battery capacity, the macbook shuts down, and will not restart until it is plugged in. There is no warning, it just turns off.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Wow! I recently had this same EXACT problem and called Apple Care about it last week and said that they cannot do anything about it since my battery cycle is too high ( only 315) ! MacBook is the same model as yours. I finally brought mine in today at a local genius bar (Otay Ranch) and they replaced the battery even though My Mac's just a little over a month its 1 year warranty. I will now calibrate this battery and see if the same problem persists. When I called about this problem, the Apple Care rep says that he has never seen this problem before but now I just saw this and glad that I wasn't the only one, maybe its a faulty design on the first generation Unibody with removable batteries (Late 2008)
