hey bambino, I have the same problem, try resetting PMU, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1436, if that doesn't fix the problem, refer to this article , http://www.apple.com/support/powermac/powersupply/repairextension/ you might have a power supply problem, which would be fixed by apple, refer to this,
Hope this will work for you, my serial number falls under their specs, so I'm talking mine in today.

After 2 weeks my Iphone 4s shuts down by itself and I cannot turn it on. What can I do. Itunes is telling me to restore the phone but the phone is saying the software isn't available

My Iphone 4s shut down by itself after a phone call and I cannot turn it on. I took it to istore and they said it was unrespinsive and there is nothing they can do? Anyone has a clue what can be done? When I connect the phone to itunes it indicates that the phone should be restored, however when i try to restore it, it says the "software for this iphone is not currently available" Is there anything I can do other than put this brand new iphone in the grabage?

On computer, at the top of this page is a Tab for iTunes, click it, make sure iTunes is up to date. Also make sure computer Fire Wall and Anti Virus do not interfere with iTunes, turn them OFF to be certain.

SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself

Hello Gurus
A few SAPCCM4X agents are shutting down by itself and this is happening
for systems which have a version 4.6c and 4.5B in our landscape like PCX.. Analyzing the log of one of this agents the
message below is informed:
Mon May 9 04:41:10 2011
CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: no permission to
read /usr/sap/PCX/SYS/profile/PCX_G34_zonepcx
CCMCTRL: ERROR: csm_show_file: Please check sapccmsr.ini
I tried to find the profile mentioned in the warning but with no
succes. The cause of the shutdown of the agent is that because the
correct profile is PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx instead of PCX_G34_zonepcx but
why it is looking for the wrong one when everything is configured with
the profile PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx . I also checked sapccmsr.ini but
found nothing.
I can start the agent normally choosing the correct parameter
(PCX_DVEBMGS34_zonepcx) but sometimes the agent shutdown by itself
after 3-4 days with the error message above.
Why the agent search for the wrong profile and where can I change it to
the right profile ?
Or is there any other way to resolve it.
Thanks and Regards
Ashwini

Thank you Mani, I will make this test in only one appl server and monitor.
I will let you know the resul of my tests.

Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
Basically, it makes no sense.

Emctl shutting down by itself after a while

I just got 10.1.0.3 installed and a 9i database converted. I can get the Database Control started (emctl start dbconsole) and use it, however, after a while emctl shuts down by itself. Below is what occurs in emagent.trc just before emctl shuts itself down - apparantly gracefully. All help appreciated

Hi,

I searched through this forum earlier and did not get an answer. Appreciate your helps.
Thanks
SathThere is but a more important question is why does it quit every few days. Solve that problem and you'll be more ahead than with the solution you asked or originally.
You can put the program on a timer and have ti launch every so often; you'll have to have it check to see if it's in memory when you do and if it is, then close the launcher and just let the previous running instance continue.

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself

I'm one of the few who are still using iPhone 4 , but anyway, I had this problem happened twice already today. The phone shuts down by itself. The screen becomes dead and black. I have to press and hold the wake/sleep button with the Home key at the same time for it to start. It works for a while, but then it happens again. Can anyone help? Appreciate it much.

Hello there gilcelis99.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting the issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Particularly:
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 LCIsand 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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

MAC PRO shutting down by itself

Airport Express shutting down by itself

My AirPort Express is still shutting down by itself after using it for a while! I get a connection from my MacBook Pro for a while (green light), afterwards the LED is yellow and my Mac can not find the AirPort station anymore. So I restart the AirPort Express every time by switching it off. After this procedure it works for a while. Also restarts with the restart button do not help. The firmware is the new one; also the Mac has the latest version of OS.
Please help - Thanks!

So, the restart takes about 40 to 60 secounds. After restarting, the green lamp appears for few minutes and then restarting again (yellow lamp) and so on and so on. When I take the station off from electricity for a while the green period takes longer.
Generally, the same problem appeared a couple of month ago, after playing around (I can't remember what) the station worked again, until I changed the place two days ago with disconnecting from power.
So, maybe it's a software problem?

MBP shutting down by itself

Help!
I don't know why my MBP shuts down by itself,
the first time it happened was when i was burning something from idvd
then it happened again when I was just typing something, then again when I was just surfing. Then when i tried to turn it on, it went off again..then finally it is working now.
Is it possible this is happening because of the replacement batteries? i bought my MBP last february when it went out, so it is part of the battery recall. right now im using the replacement. what should i do?
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It's not the battery. Many of the Mac Books have a far more serious problem with their internal hardware.
The first thing i suggest is repair your permissions.
Secondly, make sure you have updated firmware.
Thirdly, try reseating your ram.
Last, alert Applecare. Tell them your problem, and the steps you have taken.
It is likely that you will need to:
a.) have your logic board replaced (it will take about a week, including shipping)
or b.) need a replacement.
I just went through all of this. If you want me to walk you through anything, just let me know.

Why does my MBP 13" 2012 screen shuts down by itself?

The screen of my MBP 13" shuts down by itself, more and more often. It does not happen in a specific situation, and the laptop continues running and receiving inputs. In order to reactivate the screen I have to open and close it several times, or press the power button.
The screen turns completely back and the led outside start blinking like when I close the laptop.
The MBP is new, bought in summer 2012 and does not have any other program installed than the standard ones. I have no idea why this happens but it is occurring more and more.
Do you have any idea?

Windows installation interrupted as Equium A300D shuts down by itself

Dear all,
I have had my Toshiba Equium A300D for 2 years now. During this time, it works normally, occasionally shuts down by itself maye because it was too hot.
Recently, it tried to install updates from Windows but never successful. I left the computer to update for the whole night and it was still 2 out of 12 updates ... all the time so I always had to shut the computer down by pressing the power key.
I was unable to change the setting to update Windows automatically because everytime I tried to do that it froze. Most other commands became nonresponsive even viewing pictures.
It was until my computer was unable to connect to a certain wireless network while other devices can that I decided to reinstall Windows completely. It was installing normally but it got too hot and the computer shuts itself again!!!
I tried to install again and it shut itself down again, but I got into the final stage of set up so when I turned it on again, it was still "finihing the installation may take several mins. lease do not interrupt or shut down the computer". I left it on for several hours but it didnt move to any different stage. Before the computer shuts itself down I think I got to the stage after this.
I tried to press F8 to begin a new installation but it only got into this screen.
What can I do?
Please help me! Thank you a lot in advance!
I am in Germany at the moment but I live and bought this computer from the UK.

I accidentally threw away my Toshiba box without checking what was inside when I moved out last year and I wasnt sure if there was any disk so I dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk.
I was installing using Toshiba Recovery inside the laptop, not with an external Windows disk.
Can I download it somewhere on the Toshiba website?
