  • Dreaded Black Screen and automatic shut-down.  Why does this happen ?

    Why do I get a Black Screen and automatic shut-down ?  My iMac felt warm...and I never hear a fan go on..could overheating be why it shuts down?

    Hi Tish,
    A few things.
    If you bough this iMac used with no original install/hardware test discs, you can call Apple at 1-800-MYAPPLE ask for software sales and tell them you need a set of iMac replacement install/hardware test discs. You'll need to give the Apple rep your iMac's serial number.to get the appropriate discs. There will be around a $16 or $17 U.S. charge for discs.
    Since your iMac is still freezing, I now wonder if it is RAM and/or hard drive related.
    Your iMac maybe freezing because of serious lack of RAM.
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    You only have 1 GB of RAM installed.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard really needs more RAM than this.
    Intel versions of OS X use more CPU, GPU, RAM and hard drive resources.
    OS X, running alone (without any other applications running) can use up between 2 and 4 GBs of RAM memory.
    Youf iMac model can 4 GBs of RAM, but only about 3.1 to 3.3 GBs of it will be recognized.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Without being able to run the Apple hardware test we have no way of knowing the condition of your iMac's hard drive.
    The freezing could, also, be caused from a failing hard drive.
    If you do not have any backup of your data, this is the time to create one.
    Backup your important data to either DVD discs, flash drive/s or purchase an external hard drive to backup all,of your data to.
    You can make an exact clone of the data, on your internal hard drive, using a data cloning like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. OR purchase the external drive and use OS X Time Machine to automatically backup your entire internal drive.

  • My ipad is not going past the logo screen and it shuts down when I have battery, then it says I need to charge it. I am charging it but it isn't charging. Then my ipad isn't charging (doesn't say not charging) I've tried everything!

    First, my ipad wasn't charging. Then it shuts down when I have 7% battery, now when I turn it on, it says to charge it. And when I do charge it, it doesn't work. Now, I did it once it worked. Now I can't get past the logo screen and when I do it shuts right off again. Please help!

    Hi InternetHogger,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations where you cannot boot your iPad and cannot charge your iPad can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article as a reference for troubleshooting.

  • Random black screens and occasional shut downs on iPad 3

    Hi everyone,
    I've had my iPad 3 since early August and I've noticed this problem since I got it.
    First problem:
    This happens EVERYDAY. I will be using my iPad and the screen will randomly go blank. There is still noise in the background and when I press the button at the top, it puts it into sleep mode, then I press the home screen and it's fine. This happens at random times throughout the day. Restoring it hasn't helped the problem.
    Settings-->General-->iPad Cover Lock/Unlock -turning this OFF hasn't helped the problem even though it seems like that would be the issue. Any explanation?
    Second problem:
    This has happened 3 times in the last month and two of those times were this week so it's bound to happen again. This happens when the battery is full so that is not the issue. Anyway, my iPad will randomly shut off and holding down the buttons won't turn it on, no matter what I press, it won't turn on or reboot or anything.
    After this happens, I begin to charge the battery, and after about 5 minutes of charging, I can hear that noise that apple products make when they charge, but the noise keep going on and on for a few minutes as if I'm taking the charger in and out of it.
    After those few minutes of annoying sounds stop, the ITUNES plug screen finally comes up on my iPad and I connect it to my computer and it restores my iPad.
    I presume this isn't normal,please help!
    Is there any way to fix this without going to the apple store? Can anyone relate? Am I missing something?
    Thank you in advance!

    If you've already restored the iPad, I don't see what else you could possibly do. Take it an Apple Store, let them evaluate it. Tell them what you are experiencing. If they can't figure it out, you should get a replacement.
    None of what you are experiencing is normal.

  • Mac-boot and auto shut down (quirky behavior out of nowhere)?

    Brand new powerbook and these two things started happening and would like to know how to correct:
    1. Upon starting PB, rather than booting up, get a DOS looking screen with message that to boot up I should type in "mac-boot" after which machine boots up normally. What is this? How do I change/reset so it boots normally?
    2. Upon moving the mouse after machine is resting a few minutes (but well before going to sleep), dialogue box pops up asking me, "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" How do I get rid of this?
    Thanks so much for assistance,
    Bill Bellet

  • Black screen and random shut down

    When on battery power my ibook G4 will randomly do one of two things: the display will go almost completely black, or it randomly "shuts down" (although I can still hear the fan) and will not turn back on. For the frist problem closing the lid and putting it to sleep are sufficient to fix it. For the second I either have to hold down the power key in which case it acts like it shuts down, or I have to remove the battery. Both problems happen while on battery power and has happened while running a lot of programs and only a few. I brought it into a an Apple store a couple months ago and the genius reset PMU and reinstalled the operating system as well I think. It worked for a while but has now begun acting up again. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Ok so, unfortunately I have no answer (and this is my 3rd try posting this because my g4 kept shutting down) Anyway for about the last week my ibook g4 has been shutting down for no reason. Even w/a full charge. The only way I can get it to restart is to plug it in. I'm also getting a weird error message sometime when it restarts that says "your date/time is set to a date before 2001 so some applications may behave erratically" or something. However, the time and date are set to the current date and time. Also,sometimes when it restarts there is an outgoing e-mail that pops up saying this has not been sent. However it has been sent, according to the sent box and the recipients.
    yuk, I hate problems, I don't want problems.

  • IdeaPad U330 shows a blue screen and then shuts down while trying to Backup using onekey recovery

    I have a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad U330 2267-58U preloaded with Windows XP Professional. After I installed some application software I tried to use the Onekey Recovery (from the Start menu) to create a backup of my system partition (C drive) for the first time. For backup mode I chose "Full backup" and for Compression Type I chose "Quick compression" (I tried the no compression option and it didn't work either). I then clicked the "Next" button and left everything unchanged as the default setting (backup location set to the D: drive). As soon as I clicked the "next" button, and then the "start" button, the screen turns blue and the system reboots. The system then reboots with the blue disck-checking screen.
    Any fix to this problem??  I haven't been able to create any back up for my system or create a recovery disc so far.

    have you checked your disk(s) for error(s)?

  • AutoTrim & Include Subfolders From A Folder & Preserve Subfolder Structure & Auto Shut Down Computer - ALL In Batch Processing Mode And Match Volume Mode ?

    Hi! I salute you all!
    First of all I want to excuse my english (it's not my native language)!
    In 2014 we are dealing with thousands of files (video, audio, etc.), because of the present powerful technology, still... we are missing very important and useful parts for doing our jobs properly and very quickly!
    In this case is Adobe Audition too, in my oppinion!
    Adobe Audition is a great program, which help us to edit in many ways our audio files, but... unfortunatelly has major missing parts, which would be nice to be implemented as soon as possible!
    Some of them are are right below this line:
    1. AutoTrim (for removing silences from audio files, before and after)
    2. Include Subfolders From A Folder (when adding a folder for working with, we should have the possibillity to add its subfolders too)
    3. Preserve Subfolder Structure (when exporting a folder with its all subfolders, we should have the possibillity to export the exact structure like the original)
    4. Auto Shut Down Computer (when all the tasks/jobs are done, we should be able to auto close the program and auto shut down our desktop/laptop as well)
    When you will add these features which are so wanted, to have them all in Batch Processing mode and Match Volume mode as well, please?!
    Many other audio softwares have all of these "old" possibillities, like "GoldWave" for instance (I am not advertising it at all), but the Adobe Audition which is more complex...doesn't so far!
    I thank you all and I really wait for these very next future feature requests!
    Have a nice day!
    P.S.: Is this message/question read by Adobe stuff members (persons who can take decissions in this way) too, or only by us, the comunity members?!

    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
