If it sounds like a RAM issue it could be one of the RAM chips has failed. You could try removing the RAM one at a time and see if it starts with one still installed.

Mac shuts down when I turn my external hard drive

Hello,
I installed Yosemite 2 days ago, and something when wrong right away: when I turned off my LaCie external hard drive, my 27 inches iMac immediately shuts down (I tried a couple of times), to restart a few seconds later. A message lets me know if I want to send a notice of the problem to Apple (which I did), and then everything is fine. Except its not, and whenever I turn off that hard drive (that is connected through thunderbolt), same thing happens. It never happened with the previous OS, so I hate myself right now for moving onto Yosemite.
Does anyone when through the same thing, and possibly has a fix ? Thanks.

Hmmm. Did you ever install any external software (i.e. some LaCie installer disk) or something? That's my guess, that you have 3rd party software (which is totally not necessary) which is incompatible with Yosemite and is causing a kernel panic. The solution would be to uninstall the software - it is never necessary to use 3rd party software to use a hard disk, and it can cause system instability and data loss.
If you don't know how find this out, you could download and run a program called 'etrecheck' (just Google it) and post the output here.

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

My mac shut down when trying to download Combined Mac OS X- update

I recently bought Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.3, after installing the software I have also updated the software updates from my apple menu.
The Combined Mac OS X update 10.6.8 is the only update that will not download and my mac shut down my mac when its halfway downloaded. I notice that my mac/processor got extremely hot, so I thought this is the reason why the mac shut down. But even my mac is cold when I start, it still shut down half way in the downloading process and today the mac was also hot, but not as hot as last time as I started when it had not been in use.
Why is this happening? is it because the processor gets to hot or is it that my mac cannot download this?
I have even tried putting the mac in the window so it gets cold air, even near the freezer, it helps thew mac not getting too hot, but it still shut down, so I start to wonder if its something wrong other than its too hot??
What can I do? because I read that this download is recommended for all who has Snow Leopard and its necessary for the mac to be ready to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion.
My mac did not get so fast hot when I used Mac OS X Tiger version 10.4.9/10.4.11

Ok that is good to hear though. I followed your link and first I got this message twice : "activation failed ". I tried again third time after filling up more quota to use and I thought it was going to be finish downloading, I am so disappointed my mac shut down only 4 minutes before it would be totally finish. Only a minute and it would be finish. I just have to try again.
I wonder something that worries me, every time a download fail does this mean I am wasting my quota I have paid for? does the quota goes in the trash so I have to buy more and more quota?
How can I know how much quota I have left to use, so I can be safe downloading without worrying buying more quota? is there a way to know this?
Is quota the same as disk space available?

My iphone suddenly shut down when i turn on cellular mode

My iphone 4 using ios 7.0.6 . Everytime i turn on the cellular mode, it suddenly shut down. I turn it on and it will be on for few second then the apple logo appears again and shut down, everytime. The way to keep using it now i change the airplane mode (need to hurry when it on for seconds) and it will run normally. I use wifi only to keep using it. My iphone 4 turn out to be ipod now. Somebody know how to fix it? Is it might be hardware or can i just connect to itunes and reset it to factory setting? I need help. Thanks.

I just upgrade the iOS 7.1.1 but nothing works. I havent set to the factory setting yet. So when i turn off the airplane mode, it run normally and when cellular on, it dead and show the red battery icon and lightning even when the battery still 90%.

Firefox does not automatically shut down when I turn off my computer. It used to before this latest Firefox upgrade.

In the past, when I shut my computer down, Firefox would automatically close. Now, Firefox has problems closing at shut down. This happens every time I shut off my computer. I'm using Windows XP pro on a desktop.

Yep, that did it. Thanks for that tip.
However, the other issue is that whenever I start Firefox, the tabs I had open when I shut down do not automatically load. Again, this did not happen before the latest Firefox upgrade.
I have to say that I like the idea of AVG watching my back against malicious links, and not that it's disabled I'm concerned about viruses. Or should I be?
Thanks again for the help.

Why does my Mac shut down when using Safari?

Every once in a while (randomly) my mac will reboot due to an error even when I only have the Safari Application open. How can I stop my mac from doing this. I have the 2011 macbook pro 13 inch with the latest OS (Mountain Lion). Everything is up to date but why does it keep shutting down?

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

Mac shuts down when 90% POWER and its PLUGGED IN!

I recently took over my husbands mac pro OS 10.4.11. At first, all was going well. Then I noticed one day, it shut down on me and I was like, that's weird, I had no warning. I did see other postings about this so it must be common or an issue with the battery. The thing is, its plugged in 100% of the time when I use it...if I do not have it plugged in, well, it shuts down after about 5mins...if that. I am not sure what is going on. Does anyone know (if it is the battery), roughly what a fix like this would cost? I read on other posts that you need the battery info, etc....this is what my mac says: Anyone have any idea just looking at this?? I greatly appreciate it!!!!!

Actually, it just shuts right off, even being plugged in. For instance, it has been plugged in all day and my battery icon (at the top right) shows 98%...but the power cord (normally green light shows, is orange)...it just shut off on me about 5mins ago again. No warning, no programs saying they will close, just went black. No hibernation, etc...I had to push the "on" button to get it back on...It's so frustrating. Almost like it has had enough and goes off or like it's dying....So even though the battery shows fully charged, it still just shuts off....and I can be in the middle of typing or web surfing, etc...it doesn't happen when I just have it on but not using it (like a power saving thing)..it shuts off even when it is actually being used. I have no clue what to do.
Thanks so much for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it!

Mac shuts down when booting Recovery HD or holding down Command R

Ok, so I had Windows 7 installed on my MacBook Pro. I decided I wanted to get rid of it because I no longer needed it. I started to remove it via the Boot Camp Assistant when suddenly, my computer froze halfway through its' progress. I held down the power button and restarted my computer. I went to check back and Windows was gone. It only gave me the option to install Windows 7 instead of "Remove Partition". A few days later, I decided that I wanted to restore my mac to it's factory settings however, every time I held down Command+R or booted Recovery HD via the option key, the screen would go grey with the apple logo followed by the spinning icon underneath. After awhile, it would shut down. I boot it up again and it will only boot to the desktop. What should I do? Bootcamp assistant won't even open either. The icon flashes and then it disappears.

Just got this responce dont know if it works, havent tried yet

Re: Mac recovery doesnt work in response to Phatwo
Boot OS X Internet Recovery:
using three fingers press and hold the following keys: ⌘ (command), option, and R.
With a fourth finger press the power button to turn on the Mac.
Keep the other three fingers where they are until you see the "spinning globe" icon.
Your 2011 MBP will have required a firmware update to enable this option. It was released years ago so it's very likely you complied with it.
If your HD is damaged, it will require replacement. The effects of "repairing" it using Disk Utility will be temporary, at best.

My macbook pro shuts down when I turn it on, its fully charged but shuts down automatically when I turn it on, how do I solve this?

I have the older 2008 version of the Macbook Pro and since Friday when I closed it and opend it again the screen wouldn't come back on and I'd have to press down the power button and restart the machine again completely. Then when I turned it on it would sound like its powering up but after three seconds it would make the bleeping sound and shut down again, its fully charged and I have taken the battery out and put it back in but nothing is changing, is there a way to solve this problem?

Why does my i mac shut down when sizing photos?

I have a new 27' i mac with 2t drive and 16 gigs of ram the Pentium i5 quad core 2.8 ghrtz computer running OS 10.6.7. I have the Adobe Master collection CS5 installed and when sizing photos in photoshop my computer shuts down completely. It crashes the computer not just the program.I have re-installed all software including the OS twice. I have all the latest updates installed.
I have tried using earlier versions of the OS and still have the same problem. One apple tech said there was a letter put out by Adobe in January talking about a conflict with Adobe CS5 and mac OS 10.6.7 but I can't find it. I am also having problems online when filling out online forms or copying and pasting can turn it off as well. Has anyone run into this or similar problems.

I took my computer to the apple store and they tested the hardware for a week and they did replace the power supply but said they could not find anything else wrong and that the ram was ok too. They said the stressed my computer to the max and could not produce the errors that I could do be sizing a 2mg photo.I've been trying to get this fixed for months.
One apple tech said that the error message when he saw it crash said it happened in Quartz? I think thats what it was. They reinstalled my OS to an earlier version and thought that might fix it until Adobe came up with a fix. When I got home I found they installed the wrong version of OS. They walked me through a few downloads to put my computer on 10.6.6 they thought the10.6.7 was the issue but its not.

Mac shuts down when in sleep

I have a macbook late-2009 and when I am in boot camp and my computer goes to sleep, it shuts down the computer and gives me an error that the hibernate file was corrupted. I am thinking that it might be the main battery or the CMOS battery.
