G5 shuts down but runs all day long in Target mode

I have been having a problem with my G5 shutting down just after the star window. However in target mode the G5 runs all day and I can back up all my files. I even tried to install new system software, but it would shut down before it would finish.
What's causing this to shut down during start up... but keep running in Target mode? Bad memory? Bad card? etc.
Vic

I would run your Apple Hardware Test and see if it flags anything!
Cheers!

Why does my hard drive run all day long when not in use

my hard drive does not sleep it continues to spin all day long

As dwb stated, if the drive is FW then it will not sleep with Mavericks unless it has its own power chip. I had to switch to USB for it to work.

Extremely slow, often down, internet. ALL DAY LONG.

I'm a software engineer and very familiar with wifi/router setups. I don't see any issues with my equipment at home, and have rebooted all the equipment and computers in my household. I have already sent a PM to Uverse Support and have not received any response. I live in Los Angeles, in the Glendale/Eagle Rock area. My internet has been extremely spotty, mostly very slow (when up at all), and generally awful all morning and continuing into this afternoon. I work from home and this issue is severely impacting my ability to work. As I write this, I'm attempting to download a file for work. It's downloading at < 20KB per second, and has already failed twice. This is a 45Mb line. I've been logged into servers for my work and am constantly getting disconnected. This isn't a minor issue. It's almost useless, and extremely frustrating as I can't get my job done. It's been difficult even getting to this site to send the PM and now this. Is there a PHONE NUMBER I can call? Maybe there's one listed somewhere on this site, but I'm having a hard time even loading pages to look around to find it. In addition, the Community forum keeps telling me it doesn't recognize my login id even though I have already had it reset my password once (which then logged me in a couple hours ago when I sent the PM, but now it won't let me login again). I am desperately trying to NOT reel off a string of expletives here because I know that won't accomplish anything, but my frustration level is through the roof on this as it has been ongoing since at least 7AM this morning (now 4PM).

Since it's a 589 RG, have you disabled IPv6? That cause reboots, disconnects and browsing problems on the 510/589 RGs.

Shutting down my iPhone 4S no longer removes all the apps that have accumulated on the multitasking bar. What happened?

Maybe I imagined it, but I could have sworn that holding down the home button and sleep button at the same time until the slider icon appears at the top of the screen, and then engaging the slider icon, completely shuts down your iPhone and also removes all the apps that have accumulated in the multitasking bar. But, that does not work anymore on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1 (9A405). The iPhone shuts down, but the apps in the multitasking bar remain after you turn the phone back on. Did I imagine this feature in the past, or has something happened that no longer enables this functionality? Closing all those open apps in the multitasking bar one at a time is a PIA.

On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best."
My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals. Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

If MacKeeper corrupted the Recovery partition then even I underestimated its potential for damage. Garbage "cleaning" apps will cause misery but I have not found that the Recovery partition to have been affected by using MacKeeper or anything like it. I doubt that it did so, but I have learned not to underestimate the potential for such things to result in system corruption.
Before concluding your Mac has a hardware failure, try booting OS X Internet Recovery by holding command option r on startup (three fingers). That will force your iMac to bypass the Recovery partition altogether, and convey the ability to create a new one.
An Internet connection will be required (wired or wireless).
At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
Assuming the HD remains usable you can then use Disk Utility to erase it. Reinstall OS X, restore your essential software and other files, and don't reinstall the junk.

HT1222 Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that

Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that.

It's definitely a crash. I'd maybe look into reinstalling the operating system.

Make sure you back up first though.

I carry my macbook around all day long at school while it's asleep. Am I damaging it?

I've had a pro for a little over a month now. For the past couple weeks it's been lagging during startup and general activity of different applications (even safari). I only use it for school and music, nothing too crazy.
I'm wondering, could it be that its slow performance is due to my carrying it around in my backpack all day long on sleep? Come to think of it, I rarely even shut it down. Am I overworking it? What should I be doing differently? Any other tips on keeping it running smoothly for as long as I can?
Thanks!

Dont do that.
Mac laptops have been known to mysteriously turn on when in sleep mode and get extremely hot. It seems to happen more when the unit is carried around too--like in a backpack. sudden motion sensor.
As Jason, a member here notes:
"On my old Santa Rosa MacBook Pro I definitely had a few incidents where the machine woke up in my bag as the lid had been falsely opened in transportation."
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1935
Ive never experienced same because I would never pack around a laptop with a platter drive while it still has power running thru the system.

However people differ on this, many pack it around in sleep, but many also advise against same.

My Firefox 20 seems to not shut down but only restart. Also, rather than my home page, the last pages visited appear.

It's as if Firefox 20.0 never shuts down but only restarts.
Even when I close Firefox 20.0 by clicking the X button on the top right or use "exit," when I open Firefox, it acts the same as if I'd used "restart," namely the tabs don't load until I click on them. Furthermore, the 4 pages I use as my home pages aren't there but rather whatever pages I had up when I last closed my browser.
I have tried creating a new profile, which worked ONE TIME. Then, it went back to my problem.
I have used "restore" to go back to a time before the problem started but that hasn't worked.
I removed the addon I had downloaded in that time period but that didn't help, either.
Thank you for any help you can give. I know you're all volunteers and your time is important.

Does it seem like that Firefox is crashing? Try checking if there are any crash reports by going to about:crashes in your browser. Alternatively you can try safe mode as outlined below:
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

How to stream Live News on Apple TV Gen 3 all day long

I have searched and searched and cannot find any help with this matter. My searching must need some help.
I am trying to set up this apple tv at my office. Model A1427 so it should be a Gen 3 correct? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT200008?viewlocale=en_US
What I would like to do is to get rid of our cable provider! Why pay $50/ month when I have 2 apple tv's! All we use the cable is to have a news type station playing all day long. Like CNN or CNBC, Fox news. You get the idea. Can my apple tv do this?
I have updated to the latest version, and now I have bloomberg news and sky news. I have also set my sleep to never as well as the slideshow.
However when I run bloomberg, it stops playing after every "show" Then I have to go select it again. Is there a way to get around this? All I want is it to play 8 hrs a day and for me not to select or press any buttons. The sky news appears to do this, but I would rather have a USA news type station.
Any help would be very much appreciated. If there are topics on this already, please direct me to them. I have searched for several hours yesterday and today.
Thanks!!!

We don't have access to Sky news here but I believe that one has the ability to play the live feed.

Multiple Gateway/Modem Reboots All Day Long

The gateway/modem is dropping phone calls and internet connection anywhere from 10-30 times a day. The modem is completely rebooting during these issues (meaning it's not just loss of signal ---the entire reboot/restart process happens).
It's totally at random. We can go up to six or seven hours with no interruptions OR we can get 15 reboots over one hour. It's at any time of day or night. Totally intermittent.
That means --- no help. No techs on the phone or at the house will escalate the problem because they aren't experiencing the issue for themselves. The techs who HAVE seen the issue replace the modem to fix it because of some reason and then leave...and the issue happens 30 minutes later.
At this point, we have had 5 techs out and 1 supervisor.
The signal is wonderful (and indeed when the modem isn't resetting, we get excellent speed and connection). The television and on-demand do not go out. This loss of connection and reset only affects the internet and phone as far as we can tell.
The wiring in the house is now new. There is 1 splitter which is now also new. It's also been bypassed to see if the issue fixes, and it does not. Random things in the box on the house have all been replaced. The line from the pole to our house is new. Meaning ---all these techs and supervisor have "verified" there is no issue from the pole to our modem.
I'm not sure why a line tech can't be sent out if it's "obviously" (their words) not an issue from the pole to our modem. It doesn't leave a lot of options other than the line to our pole unless I'm missing something.
Then again, today's tech showed me on his tablet some page that showed all the reboots from our modem just for today. So, how's it working if he could see it's obviously not?
Two modem replacements, rate codes fixed, blah blah blah.
Just hand them an incredibly stupid amount of money for no service or fixes I guess? I mean, I'm dealing with this because I WANT comcast. I don't want dish or direct. Google Fiber is being installed in my city, and I'd switch for that.....but I'm the only one fighting to keep comcast. I love Comcast, but I'm not going to pay for service I'm not getting. The $40 refund for the last 3 weeks isn't going to cut it when it's STILL not fixed.
The last tech left and 5 minutes later...internet is down and phone is out...and I'm waiting on the reboot. He switched to a different port on the pole and said he hoped it fixed it because he saw no issues.
So basically...this must be the service available to my house if I want comcast.
Nobody will even look at the error logs on the modem. One guy who said nothing was wrong with my signal or service said "yeah we see that before we even get to your house" and wouldn't look. If he saw it, how is there nothing wrong?

2nd Modem replacement stopped the T3 and T4 timeouts. The following is an example of the log both before and after the rate codes were changed. This sample happens all day long over and over and over. This is a sample from about 30 minutes this morning.

So as you can see, they tell me everything is fine...but if they'd take 3 seconds to look at this, maybe it would help. If they really "already look at that before" they come into the house, then why keep telling me there is nothing wrong?
I know I'm not getting connection. I'm not technologically stupid (I'm no expert, but I know when my service stops working how it's worked for years. I can see big flashing lights as the modem reboots.)
I'm seriously at a loss at what I need to say to these people that I haven't already. I know it's hot outside, but dang. It's got to be costing them way more money to have tech after tech sit in my driveway for 20 minutes and then come tell me the service is fine as far as they can see.
In all honesty, I know the techs do what they can. They've all been polite, and I know the intermittent issue makes it ridiculously hard to figure out. The thing is, I've been dealing with this issue for way longer than I should be ---while paying a full bill with another due soon. I'm not asking too much. I just want service fixed so I can keep giving them my money. I just need to know what I can tell them other than "just disconnect my service then."
The other thing that points to line issues is that a house on the line before us was torn down. They jerked some lines off the pole, and they loosened up the comcast line. The first tech fixed this, but said it might need to be fixed by line techs if service went in/out during wind or rain. The other techs ignored me, but the tech before today went up and took down the extra wires and all that. He said he saw no actual issues there other than the amp being "about 20 years old" and some type of connection on the cable about a foot down the line that is no longer used by Comcast. He said the amp was really old but functional. Again, none of them want to listen to the glaringly obvious signs that the line techs need to come out and replace some things to fix this. There is only 1 other house after me on this connection...so if here are issues, there isn't enough crying to comcast to fix it like they would if it affected 20 houses in an area.

Thanks again, EG. From the email, I was able to get escalated yesterday. I was put in contact with a supervisor on 1-800-COMCAST's wireless gateway department. He actually took a few minutes to listen to the error logs I had through all the modems over the last month (over 25 total pages). He went in and found the dhcp reset error was a common issue with the gateway we had. The gateway is what a lot of people have, and he said it was close to being on the "end-of-life" list soon. So the guys working on our account went ahead and come today and double checked some things. He replaced a switch outside just in case, but he also installed a new wireless gateway that's one of the newer ones they are installing. It's an XB3 gateway. The guys on the phone were great, and today's tech was amazing! He stayed until the issue was FIXED. Thank you! The corporate service rep also called back to make sure everything was good, and she is reviewing the account to adjust charges. The supervisor is also going to monitor the line for 24-48 hours to check for any other issues. The bottom line is that I've tried for 2 ½ weeks to get a tech to actually look at the log, and that was the key to fixing the issue. So, just updating for the next person who sees the errors I originally posted! Make them listen to ya!

HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed

Hi,
I am having a problem. My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed. I close the lid, and then I hear the shutdown music and then when I open it again it automatically restarts OSX and all my windows and programs are closed, any info gone.
This doesn't happen all the time. Just once a day or maybe twice a day. It seems like it happens basically when I have my computer just the way I want it, to keep an eye on things for the day.
I just recently switched to a mac and while somewhat savvy, I am not a programmer or techie, but it seems to me that when I shut the lid, it should do the same thing every time.
I have a intel core 2 duo 17 inch macbook pro with 2.33 processr and 2 gig ram, if that helps.
I am in alaska and there is no genius bar here and I am hoping to figure this out before I begin bugging our local independant mac store about this.
Thanks in advance,
Lylah

Ahhh, enlightenment!
That would make sense. What I usually do, after closing the lid, is to wait for the apple to turn off and then set it down on it's side leaning it against the side table. I will try to wait for it to indicate that it is fully asleep before I move it next time. Personally, I prefer my computer to NOT fall asleep at all, but I am told it is not an option. Apparently this function is hardware related accoring to my local mac shop. They tracked it down for me because I hated this feature when I first bought my computer and was trying some way around it.
The shutdown music I was refering to was that music the mac makes when shutting down, which doesnt usually occur when it goes to sleep, unless it is malfunctioning like this.
What does resetting the pmu do? (what is a pmu as well?)
Thank you very much.

My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work.

My Ipod nano 6Th sometimes shuts down when I connect the phones, sometimes it not shuts down, but the volume and standby buttons do not work. If I not connect the phones everything works fine. But with the phones connected it goes crazy. I alredy reset, restore and nothing. If I reset and let the phones connect the up and down volumes buttons start to work. But the power/stand by button don´t. I need to disconect the phones to the power/stand by button starts to works. Anyone already have simmilar problem?

A windows error message appears saying iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.
let's get a crash log from itunes, and send it to the Apple engineers for a look.
Typically, you'll need to configure Dr. Watson on your PC in order to generate crash logs. Windows start menu -> Run. Type in "cmd". Hit return. At the prompt in the command line window that comes up, type in
drwtsn32 -i
And hit return.
This will create crash logs in Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Dr Watson\. There'll usually be a file in here called "drwtsn32.log"
prior to collecting the itunes crash log, delete any existing crash logs in there. (we want to make sure we send the correct crash log.)
Generate the crash, collect the crash log, and and send it as an attachment to this email address.
in the email to Roy, be sure to include the following information:
- A link to the thread on Apple Discussions where the issue is being discussed
- The username you are using in the thread
- The version of iTunes you are using or trying to use
- the version of Windows you are using (mention service packs)
- A concise description of the issue you are seeing
- The exact text of the error message you are seeing
