G4 Sawtooth upgraded to 1.2Ghz Shuts down During Post after Leopard Install

Hey everyone I also have a G4 sawtooth and I attempted to 1st upgrade to Leopard and the machine would boot to the Apple logo and shut down. I checked the HD it was fine I was able to slave it to my MacBook. So I partitioned and Clean Installed Leopard took a while to install and then I transferred all my settings and files over. Worked for one boot and same issue Apple Logo and quick shut down. I think I am gonna image and not transfer settings to see what happens. Anyone have this issue?

Update: I removed all third-party PCI cards and peripherals, and was able to boot from the Leopard DVD. Performed an archive/install, and everything worked properly. Reinstalled/reconnected all the hardware I'd removed, and it all works fine.
So, the moral of the story is:
* Remove all third-party hardware prior to the upgrade
* Perform an archive/install (or an erase/install)--DO NOT simply upgrade!
* Reinstall third-party hardware one item at a time to check compatibility
List of third-party stuff I removed & reinstalled, for the curious:
Sonnet Tango FireWire/USB PCI card
MacWireless 802.11g PCI card
Acon USB PCI card
External FireWire disk
iSight
D-Link DWB-120M USB Bluetooth module
USB-B2K Skype telco adapter
The Sonnet 1GHz CPU upgrade works fine. When I originally purchased it, the 1GHz model was the fastest one that didn't require special firmware, and I figured that was the best way to go. Sure enough, no CPU-related issues with the Leopard upgrade. Now, if I can lay hands on a Radeon 9700 or 9800 Pro graphics card...

My PC shuts down during render after CC update

Hello all,
I just rendered a video last week with no issues. I updated After Effects CC a few days ago and now my PC shuts off about half way through a render. It is only a ten second clip with very little effects in it.
I have tried different video formats and codecs, I also tried to render the project in Media Encoder and Premiere Pro...the same result. My system is fine and I was rendering videos no problem until this update. Can we roll back updates?
I can't get through to Adobe to get help so I am trying the forum. This video is due tomorrow so I will probably lose a lot of money and a client.

I do appreciate the suggestion, I thought about doing the same approach. I had to dumb down my graphics a lot to at least get the titles done in After Effects. I basically had to recreate my animation, add one effect, render, and wait to see if it shuts down. I was able to render all of the effects, particle systems, motion blur, and camera movements last week with no issues. I updated to AE 12.1 and now I can't render anything but basic applications.
I am now having the issue in Premiere Pro CC after it's update. I rendered out three one minute videos with no problem in Premiere Pro CC last night. I did some edits to a five minute video that I have been working on for a few weeks today, go to render, about half way through...shut down. I am sure that I will have to start another thread on that issue.
I am about ready to get out of Adobe and go to Autodesk for editing and compostiting if these issues keep happening.
Adobe Tech support claims that my PC isn't powerful enough to handle AE and PPRO CC, but I was rendering with both programs with no issues a week ago. There is no problem with my PC. I believe they have no answer to my problem. I may have to reinstall CC and not update, but I know that I need them for other issues in the programs. I am stuck and I have projects due.
Thank you for listening to my venting. I will update if I find a solution.

Macbook pro shuts down during reboot after flat battery

Hi, I have a macbook pro (early 2011) And it went flat two nights ago whilst watching a movie. It was plugged in but I've been having charger issues. Anyway, now that it's fully charged, whenever i turn it on it gets to the apple logo with a progress bar (restoring the previous session maybe?), but then shuts down. I've tried a few times and its the same everytime.I suspect that it's trying to restore the last session (the progress bar - I cant recall whether that happens normally) and running into problems because of the flat battery episode. Can a session restore be cancelled?
I can still boot up the windows partition by pressing the option button during start up, its just the mac partition that wont boot. Also, I am still running Snow Leopard (what it came with, though with all updates).any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?

Mac Mini shuts down during startup after update

I've got a Late 2009 Mac Mini running Snow Leopard Server. Occasionally, it takes me awhile to restart after updates, so this could be due to the most recent update or possibly the combination of the last two...
I went into my office, saw that there was a Safari update and decided to let it do its thing. When I came back 30 minutes later, my machine was off. I turned my machine back on, got the gray Apple screen with the spinning cog and the progress indicator for the update. A little over 10% through, the progress indicator reset. No biggie, I figured. Second time it got to the same point, it just shut down. Nada. When I restart, it does the same thing.
I've tried resetting PRAM.
I've tried resetting SMC.
I've tried booting in safe mode, but that isn't working at all – just does the same thing as when I (fail to) boot normally.
Everything but one of my screens and my keyboard is disconnected. ****, I even tried booting without either one connected (I just waited to see if it would turn off), and it failed.
Can't think of or find anything else.
Anyone?

Humm.. you'll need to startup from your System Install Disc to test, repair or restore from Time Machine.
Some options for Starting up from your Install Disc include:
1. in an External Optical DVD Drive.
2. from another iMac in Target Disk Mode.
3. from a copy on a Thumb Drive or External HD.
It's to bad that you are using Time Machine on the second HD instead of a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner - Home or SuperDuper! that you could boot from for testing, repairing and/or restoring.
If none of the above helps?
There is one good thing about a Mac Mini, it is much easier to tote into the local Apple Store or AASP than an iMac. see > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

2011 iMac keeps shutting down at random after Mavericks install.

Installed Mavericks day 1 of the public build on App Store and ever since my Mac will just randomly shut down and not let me power it back up. Only has happened when browsing the web and after shut down I have removed power cord from iMac and wall, and also tried different outlets and nothing the first two times I was able to get it back up and running after about 20 minutes of it just being off. Third time it happened I was not so lucky, made an genius appt and they ran diagnostic test and checked power cord and it of course worked fine for them, took it home and booted instantly... Now 24 hours later it just shut off again and no luck getting it going. Suggestions please or should I schedule another appt and have them send it in?

Dreamweaver shuts down during launch after transfer

When I try to lauch Dreamweaver, a dialog box pops up saying 65016. I press 'ok', and the program shuts down. (I just transfered my Creative Suite from my old macbook to my new Imac, and the rest of the programs work fine.) Anyone? I've tried Adobes online support chat but they ended up refering me to here.

If you have a valid Serial Key even though you don't have a CD/ DVD drive, you can download a fully functional 30-day trial of CS3 from here:
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Read the 'Very Important Instructions' section carefully before attempting to download the trial install files. Note that this website lets you download from adobe.com only. The reason to share this link is because Adobe.com doesn't officially list out previous version downloads any longer.
Once you download the trial from here, use your original serial key to activate your installation.
If you're in no hurry however, wait till you receive your Ext. CD Drive to proceed with your installation!

Mac shuts down during startup after removal AppleSetupDone in Terminal, can I fix this ? 'touch' didn't help.

Hi, first of all thanks for reading, and I apologize for fooling around in Terminal.
I followed a method to remove applesetupdone in terminal, in order to enter the menu to create a new admin account. I had done this before on a computer that was given to me and it had worked very well. This time it didn't, though. I know I used a different website this time, I'm pretty sure the previous one made use of sudo, this one didn't.
I must have done something wrong. Perhaps when I followed a hint that came up inside terminal that told me to load something, because what I wanted was impossible / read only.
In any case my MacMini (1.83 ghz, Snow Leopard) starts up and shows the grey apple logo and the progress 'wheel', then shuts itself down. It does not mount when I connect it to my macbook with firewire. I can still get into sum / terminal but I don't know what to do. I tried 'touch' to restore applesetupdone but it didn't work.
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!

Km2m shuts down during boot after running via chipset driver install

Ive recently purchased a new computer with a km2m Combo mobo and am having trouble getting it properly configured and running.
I attempted to run the "One Touch Setup" on the drivers and utilities CD that was supplied with the system. Reeceived a message to first install the VIA Chipset drivers. I ran the chipset driver install and simply clicked NEXT on all the screens accepting the default options. The install appears to complete successfully and restarts the pc.
during restart the pc abruptly powers off!
I can reboot the system in safe mode.
I've run msconfig and disbabled everything and the system still powers of during a normal boot.
If I restore the registy (scanreg /restore) the system again boots properly.
What causes this anomaly and how do I resolve it? Is there some sort of hardware incompatibility? I'm stumped!!!
AMD XP 2400+ 266FSB
OS = Windows Me
PSU = +3.3/28a +5/40a +12/18a -12/1.0a -5/1.0a +5SB/3.0a
what other info is needed?

Yes, problem with the video card sounds plausible! Any not so successful updates recently? It is sometimes to make a good uninstall, which is required to make a good install.
4in1 drivers should - esp. with W98 and ME - be installed while in SafeMode and with all autostarting programs disabled, for example Antivirus and utilities.
Else, since you have a damaged regedit, I would reinstall Windows. You might have done something for example an upgrade or new install the registry, not healthy, has made a note of. Some utilities also overwrite and change system files without good results.

Itunes Shuts Down during/directly after syncing.

The sync is never successful. I try to put some music on my 2nd gen. Ipod Touch and it closes. I get the "Itunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

My profile says windows xp it is really windows vista. I just tried a second generation ipod nano and it synced perfectly so i think there is a problem with my ipod now.

N200 shuts down during boot

Dear Lenovo,
I have a problem with my N200 laptop. Notebook shuts down during boot. Sometimes it is immediately after "Lenovo screen", sometimes it is when Vista logo appears. I found out that this is always when notebook is "cold". It does't matter if I want to switch on my notebook or if I want to restore it from hibernation or sleep mode. Next thing is that it always crashes when fan starts work at full tilt (I checked the fan but it is clear). When notebook starts correctly then it works without problems. Usually I have to switch it on about three times then it is OK. This problem takes about 2 weeks. I have my laptop about 7 month. Do you have any ideas how to solve this problem?
And another thing - I forget to send registration card to Lenovo and now I am afraid that I will be without warranty. Can I send it still now?
Thank you for answer and sorry for my English.
Gabi

HP Pavilion a1730n shuts down during boot

Have been using the Desktop Pavilion a1730n for several months after upgrading to Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Without any warning signs, now the CPU shuts down during boot up. When I shut the main power supply switch off and then turn it back on, then switch the CPU on with the front on/off button it gets 15-20 seconds into the bootup and then powers off spontaneously and completely.
If I try to start it immediately again without turning the main power supply switch off then on and only depress the front on/off switch, it starts to boot but only gets about 10 seconds (varies) in to the boot process before in shuts down.
What could this be? the power supply? the mother board?
ANY ideas would be appreciated.

Hi , Sounds like the power supply , when a load is put on the supply it does not seem to be able to cope with the correct output . You can buy a new supply ( same watt output or better )eg; if you have a 400watt supply get 400watt or higher supply as replacment . Checkurtech

Microphoto Freezes and Shuts Down During File trans

I just bought my Creative Zen Microphoto a week ago and was pumped when I got. It worked fine for a couple of days, I didn't have a problem transfering the music through windows media player 0. everything worked fine and i was really happy with it. however, after i uninstalled it and upgraded to wmp version the microphoto FREEZES and SHUTS DOWN during file transfers. I went to the recovery menu and reformatted it and cleaned it up. I tried it again and the same thing happened. It transfered about 25 songs and just froze adn does nothing. I have tried anything and everything . PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!!!! Thanks, Jon

Jason, thanks for trying your help but I'm thinking now it has something to do with the hard dri've failing. But that doesnt make since becase the player still turns on fine and it still works, like i can still use the radio etc. i just can' transfer music. i installed the windows media pack thing and that didn't work. i just don't know what to do anymore. should i install the creative software that i got with my player or would that not matter? i deleted it i just think that it would not matter. it didn't seem to work when i had it installed i stil had the same problems. i just don't know what to do right now jason i am running out of ideas?

Aperture shut down during import

I started the import of photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Aperture shut down in the process. How do I upload only the photos that did not transfer? I tried import again, but it appears to want to upload the entire library again..

Have you done any work in the Aperture Library? If not, just delete it and redo the import into a new Library.
This may be a good idea anyway, until you determine what caused Aperture to shut down during the last import. Aperture allows you to easily merge Libraries.
Make a back-up of your iPhoto data first -- after confirming that nothing was harmed when Aperture shut down while importing.
Also, if you haven't upgraded your OS to the current version (you have 10.7.1 listed), you should.

Computer shuts down during render/prerender

This was not my original problem but it has occured before and I know it will occur again.
My computer shuts down for no reason when I try to render or prerender video in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. From what I can tell it is a general issue with premiere that I am having. I have tried multiple video formats, multiple video lengths, and multiple rendering options and I am still getting random shut downs during rendering.
Here are some specs for my computer which is a laptop:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit OS)
Proccessor: Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.0 ghz
Ram: 8 gigs of it
Video: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
1 Hard Drive w/ 280 gb of space
As a recap.... My exact problem is that during the rendering or pre rendering proccess my computer simply shuts down as in it turns off.
I can also add that the computer does act strangely leading me to believe that theres some hardware or software incompatibility. While it is rendering I can hear the CPU fan pick up which is usually normal for any rendering application but what I noticed was that it doesnt stop speeding up. Its like if it was going into an overload and I can confirm that at its peak, the computer shuts down.
To add troubles... whenever I pre render any video and it succesfully renders.... Premeire will hang up really really bad if I try to play the pre rendered preview. In otherwords when you preview a video that it pre rendered it usually plays smooth and everything is fine. After I pre render something though and play it I can tell its locking up because the timeline bar is really jumpy and the video playback skips also.
This is the problem I would really love fixed. I usually have to button smash my keyboard until I lock premiere up and then once it unfreezes itself i can preview my work smoothly. This is however like a good 5 mins of my time trying to get the preview to play smoothly though so its really hurting how fast I can work.
If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. I will be trying to run the same stuff on my older laptop and observe the results. I personally think CS4 is incompatible with windows 7.

Video: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
If you have a recent nVidia driver installed, you might want to check to see if you have either of these two modules loaded - check in the nVidia console:
PhysX, or 3D Stereovision. If you have them, definitely disable 3D Stereo, and test. If no improvement, disble PhysX and test.
Also, try adjusting your Hardware Acceleration. If Max, set to Min and test. If Min, set to Max and test. If either helps, try incrementing up, or down, until it no longer helps.
Last, check your OpenGL settings. If ON, turn OFF. If OFF, turn ON.
It appears that you have a laptop. Is that correct?
Good luck,
Hunt

HT3964 my macbook air keeps coming up with a message" are u sure u want to shut down..etc" after which it switches off by itself. now it's off and will not power on altogether. any suggestions?

my macbook air keeps coming up with a message" are u sure u want to shut down..etc" after which it switches off by itself. now it's off and will not power on altogether. any suggestions?

Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out
