HELP! Forced Shutdowns!
Hey,
My 2 year old iBook G4 keeps randomly shutting off unexpectedly and all by itself while I'm using the battery (also the battery life has dropped from about 2 hours 30 mins to around 1 hour). It mainly happens when I use a few programs at once, but nothing too strenuous...
Some days it is really bad, and other days it may only happen once. I think I've only got it to do a full cycle (charging battery, then running it right down till it puts it self to sleep) once since it all started to happen a couple weeks ago...
I need to get another year out of her before I can afford to by a new one.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks...
When a Li-Ion battery like laptops use gets older, it's resistance rises so max current output gets lower. It may run the computer for quite a while if you're web browsing or typing a document and not hitting the disk a lot. If you do something which requires a heavy spike of power, like inserting a CD or DVD, it may be more than the battery can deliver, and the computer will shut off. Does this fit your situation?

PiCked up a virus/malware please help me get rid of it. While browsing with Safari got pop up saying I won a prize. Click OK to find out what I won. Did not click Ok, but cannot close Safari without using forced shutdown. Powering down computer and restarting then selecting Safari brings up same prize window. Just installed Trend Microsoftware for Mac. It's scanning now. Don't think it will work.
If I open another on same iMac everything seems ok.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksI am also running Lion and had the same problem: a persistent popup on top of a half-opened Safari window saying that I had won a prize and should click OK to claim it. If I forced Safari to quit, the same pages and popup menu would appear when I then reopened Safari. From what I can tell, the problem results simply from the fact that Safari in Lion defaults to auto-reopening web pages that were open when Safari last quit, including those suspicious pages that may have prompted the user to force-quit Safari in the first place. I solved the problem this way:
(1) After force-quitting Safari, I went to my user Library folder and found the Saved Application State folder within. I then found the folder for Safari (com.apple.Safari.savedState), opened it and deleted its contents. Now the next time I open Safari, there will be no pages to auto-reopen.
(2) Since this problem could happen again, I decided to disable the auto-reopen feature in Safari. I did this by highlighting the "com.apple.Safari.savedState" file and choosing the File-->Get Info command, and then in the Get Info box, I turned on the Locked checkbox. This prevents Safari from adding any files to this folder.
This solution has worked well for me, and it has the advantage of not requiring the user to reset Safari. It also preserves Lion's auto-reopen feature for all other applications.
I need to give credit to David Pogue for the information I used to solve this problem. He describes this procedure on page 169 of his book, Mac OSX Lion, the missing manual.

I did force shutdown on my MacBook Pro (2006 year, 15.4"), so, when I tried to boot, it shows apple logo (as usual) and shuts down. When I booting MacBook with Option key pressed it shows lock icon and field for password. Please help me.
Wait for advice on repairing a damaged filesystem. Forceshutdown stops processs in mid-stream and leaves some parts not-valid.
Do not proceed until you get that avice. -
IPAD: Forced Shutdown During Update. iPad No Longer Working! Help?
I did a force shutdown during the latest ios6 bug fix update and now my ipad will not work at all. iTunes does not reckognise the device when I connect it to my pc via usb. I have tried everything I can think of to have it start but with no success. It just keeps displaying the Apple logo, then flickering, then showing some text data in white, then goes to a blank black screen, then the logo and all over again. It does shutdown but cannot do a startup to the swipe lock page.
It would be hard to believe one could fully kill an ipad so quickly and easily. Please tell me that this is a fixable problem! Any way to get it to start again?
Thanks!
ManahenYou will need to restore your iPad to factory from recovery mode and connecting to your computer. Connect your iPad to your computer and hold the home and power button down for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple. Once you see the silver apple let go of the power button but keep holdng the home button until you see the itunes logo and white usb cord. At this point you should be able to restore in itunes.

I force shutdown my MacBook Pro and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.
I force shutdown my MacBook Pro by pressing the shutdown button for a long time and when I reopened my laptop, my files and apps are all gone.
When I reopened my laptop, it said that some files have been deleted or hidden (I don't know if it said hidden, I don't remember). my dock and wallpaper were set back to default.
This isn't my first time force shutting my MacbookPro.
How can I restore/recover back my stuff?
i heard time machine restores your stuff back.
And please don't tell me to go to apple because I have made an appointment with them but I'm still worried.
Please if you know anything about this please tell me anything you know.
Please help me.Given that you sound a nervous wreck and a neophyte in matters Mac, it would be safest that you put the Mac away, go take a chill pill, grab a bite, get some rest. Then take the Mac to its scheduled appointment with Destiny, er, the Apple Genius.
There's a good possibility of data loss and munging around unknowing, following instructions that will probably be hard to grasp will only increase the amount of damage. -
I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

I keep getting a forced shutdown and then my mac sends a panic report
my Macbook pro has the lion OS. I have Kaspersky internet security. My mac book pro started acting slow a couple of months ago. Thats why I loaded the Kaspersky to it. It keeps doing a forced shutdown when I am online. I can be just reading news on Yahoo and go to shut down Safari and a screen comes down like someone was pulling a curtain down over the viewing screen. It tells me to hold the power button down until the computer shuts down. I can't do anything else until I shut it down. everything freezes up. When I power back up, it says that a kext releasing a surface root has corrupted the registry.
This only seems to happen when I am online.
What can I do to make this stop? I have contacted apple 3 times on this and they have tried to help by deleting files and emptying trash and it still continues. Ofcorse, it doesn't happen when I am on the phone with the Apple Tech. Just like my old car. Lol!I want to give an update on my issue.
I deleted my internet security from my Mac Pro and it started acting normal again. It seems that it was the Kaspersky internet security that was causing the problem. After contacting Kaspersky, The agent told me that they were having issues with their older software and he had me download the newest updated security. I'm not quite sure about their answer because updates were installed on a regular basis. Anyway, I will see if this works any better and if not, I won't hesitate to delete the software from my computer. I hope that this will help someone elce. "Thank You Melophage for your help." -

I keep getting the following message on my phone "Sorry! The application Email (processcom.andriod.email) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and there is a force shutdown button, which I push but keep getting the message. Any ideas how to make it go away so I can get my emails?
Have you installed any applications recently? A task killer maybe? You can try rebooting the phone and see if that helps.

Force Shutdown during boot camp partition process. Left with no space on mac and no partition.
I opened boot camp assistant.
I clicked continue on the bootcamp introduction screen.
It asked me to select one:
a) Download the Windows support software for this Mac
b) I have the Mac OS X installation disk that came with my Mac or I have already downloaded the Windows support software for this mac to a cd, DVD or an external disk.
I selected b, and then partitioned as much as I could.
The loading bar reached approximately halfway.
My macbook pro then froze with the spinning rainbow of death as my cursor.
I force shutdown by holding down the power button.
I turned the computer back on, and I saw that my mac only has 9 GB left.
I check Disk Utility. It says 100% of hard drive is my macbook pro, no windows.
Any fix? Help me get my space back. thanks.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It could be that the space used for Windows is free space, so you don't see it on a volume.
1. Open Disk Utility, select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar and go to Partition bar.
2. Select Macintosh HD in the partition bar, click the bottom right corner, drag it to the end of the bar and press Apply to recover the lost space -
ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
Opmnctl: graceful stop of processes failed, trying forceful shutdown...
Hi Guru's
I have installed BI for my billing system on HP-UX 11i , with application server 10.1.2.0.2.
Last thursday we suffered from sudden power failure and all our servers went off.
After rebooting everything, opmnctl wasnt starting, so after further digging it turned out that the problem was with the dcm.conf file and quickly found it was cleared and had a 0 byte size. So, I copied the .bak file to the original name.
After that, all the services start gracefully apart from the HTTP Server which doesnt.
The logs are pasted below:-
/bi/appl/oracle/ORABI/102/opmn/bin$./opmnctl stopall
opmnctl: stopping opmn and all managed processes...
================================================================================
opmn id=biapps:6201

Log:
/bi/appl/oracle/ORABI/102/opmn/logs/HTTP_Server~1
opmnctl: graceful stop of processes failed, trying forceful shutdown...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kindly assist me as there are bosses of mine breathing down my neck.
Thank Rajab.There isn't a direct way to avoid OPMN having to try graceful stop first and directly go for force stop. But what you can do though is reduce the amount of time it waits for graceful stop request to finish (the timeout). For that you can change (reduce) the value of "timeout" attribute of <stop> element for the component in your $ORACLE_HOME\opmn\config\opmn.xml file. Refer this for details:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13996/common.htm#CACIFHJI
You can set the timeout to a very low value.
But keep in mind you should only do it when you understand the side effects of force/kill stop approach. Following explains the difference b/w graceful and forceful shutdown of Apache (same is applicable to OHS as OPMN under the cover uses apachectl to stop OHS):
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/stopping.html
Hope this helps.

Shutdown failure, have to force shutdown evertime
After pressing the shutdown button, normally there'll be a circle running on the lower center of the screen. But after reinstalling my OS it startEd to not appear and I waited for minutes but still didn't shut down. Tried a few times but I have to force shutdown evertime. How to fix? Thanks!
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
