Hp c8180 shutting down & turning back on

My printer (HP Photosmart c8189 All in One) seems to be stuck in a loop of shutting down and turning back on--power button unresponsive--tried unplugging everything -- tried changing the power cord - that's about all I know to do. Any suggestions?

I have been having the same problem. Unfortunately, HP is slow in providing answers or not at all. I have been on other HP discussion boards where there have been at least 100 questions over a period of a month that have not been answered. I hope you and I get a quick response since I need my printer for business and I can't wait very long. Good Luck!

Hello All,
I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
Could this be a hard drive issue?
Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
Thank you so much for your input!

Interclue fails to initalise upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time.

Interclue fails to initialize upon restart from either shut down or back out of hibernation. Works when re-installed, but then fails every time. What would cause this situation. Never had problems with this add-on with Firefox until I downloaded Firefox 4.0. I can disable, re-start, enable,re-start, and it works fine. The same scenario holds true if I uninstall and then re-install add-on.

Just a guess, but I wonder if you have some application or process hanging up that's stopping it from shutting down? You might try closing each application individually and see if this helps.
Good luck!

I have an MAC OSX 10.6.7 and when I turn it on the fan keeps running. I shut down/turn on and it's the same. Any suggestions? Thanks.

jean156,
I am a little confused, you are posting in an iMac forum however your profile only indicates you have a MacPro. While I agree a SMC reset may help please carefully read the link The hatter provided because different Mac's have a different processes for resetting the SMC.
In the mean time you may want to update your profile (Your Stuff in upper right and click Profile) and also please post in the correct forum to avoid confusion.

Computer shuts down when backing up

Hello,
I am using an iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.3. My Apple Airport Extreme is about one year old (fully updated and current). I am on a DSL connection with AT&T. I am backing up to an external 1.5 TB hard drive (non-Apple brand). There is lots of room remaining on that drive (about 700GB).
All backups in the past have been smooth sailing with no problem.
What's happening now are two things (but one of them I think I fixed). At first, Time Machine would try to back up but it would never succeed because it would give a message that there is not enough space available in the drive (it was saying that it needed 10 more GB of free space). But I know that's wrong. I could not figure out how to fix that issue, so I erased the drive completely and started over. Now, I no longer get the "full" message and all appears to be going well----UNTIL......(see next paragraph).....
Now what happens is that it begins doing the backup process like normal (this would be the first/initial backup since I erased the drive and started over), however, once it gets about 100 GB or so (very rough estimate), the computer SHUTS DOWN. It turns itself OFF. No error window, no warning, no nothing----it just "POOF" turns off. To get it working again, I have to push the power button to turn it back on. There is no error message when I turn it back on.
I am copying (below) the two most recent Time Machine messages from last night from that neat widget/app that I think pondini invented. I sure hope this helps to diagnosis what is wrong, because I'm stumped.
The backup log that says "Automatic" is the first one that failed where it claimed there was not enough space to complete the backup. Once I erased the drive completely and started "fresh", that is what the second "Manual" backup is.

Do a verify of the local disk. The sudden complete failure sounds like a hard disk or memory issue.
A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
So the hard disk is plugged into the computer directly?? If not, then I think you should do it that way. Backup to Extreme USB drive is not reliable.
YOu don't have an error message for the manual backup.. and I am uncertain what the problem is.
Do a reset of Time Machine. A4.
And try again with the hard disk plugged into the computer directly.
You can look at other suggestions on the troubleshooting page.
eg http://pondini.org/TM/C4.html
But if you are doing it with the usb drive in the Airport Extreme please read this.

IPod shuts down, comes back, shuts down, etc...

I have looked on the board for this problem, and have found a few similarities, but none that actually match my case. So, here goes...
First of all, my iPod: he is a very old 20GB iPod, a gift from Christmas 2003, and I have been considering replacing him or his battery, but I'm not sure that replacing the battery will fix this problem and I'd really rather not shell out $400 when all I want is my same iPod only working (I've got no interest in getting a new color iPod that holds a bazillion songs and plays videos and mixes songs and predicts my future and can save the world and everything--I just want to listen to music, that's all).
Anyway, so the problem is as follows: my iPod worked fine for about two years, aside from some minor problems (for example, sometimes if I clicked on a song he would think for a few seconds and then move to the song after it--but all I'd have to do is go right back to the song I wanted to play, and there would be no problem). No real difficulties charging, holding a charge, going to sleep, waking up, etc.
Then, last summer, I joined the cross-country team, and wore him when I ran, and he started having more problems. I have a little blue iPod belt-pack that I wear when I run, and it's supposed to keep the iPod from bouncing out and crashing onto the floor, which it does. However, it does not keep him from bouncing, and I think this is what started everything. I have a certain playlist that I listen to when I run, and sometimes he'll finish one song and the bouncing will mess him up and he'll skip several songs and move to one towards the end of the list (and refuse to play the skipped ones, even if I click on them manually--he'll just skip right over them again). I'm fairly sure it's the bouncing because I have noticed that if I run more slowly and softly when he's finishing a song, it reduces the chance of him having a hissy-fit and skipping the next seven songs.
(I should probably note here that he does not always skip the same songs, and all of my music plays fine most of the time, so it's not a song problem.)
Anyway, shortly thereafter he started having battery problems when I ran--occasionally he'd crash in the middle of a run, and display his Angry!Battery! sign when I tried to turn him back on. Annoying, but he didn't seem to have problems any other time, so I'd let it slide.
A few weeks ago, however, he started having SERIOUS battery problems. I'd be listening to him when I was doing homework or reading or some other mundane activity that involves little to no real motion, and he'd suddenly shut down after about half an hour and display his Angry!Battery! sign at me when I tried to turn him back on.
So this went on, and I got very frustrated, blah blah blah, and then he started being a NEW kind of broken.
Now, he'll shut down with no warning (although I have noticed that it happens quite often when I am scrolling through a song--it's not nearly as frequent when I just listen to a song all the way through), but turn back on when I try to turn him on. The battery is displayed as empty, but it refills itself as he plays, until he suddenly gets mad and shuts down again. Sometimes, I can turn him back on, and he plays for a good amount of time; sometimes, I can turn him back on and he plays for about a minute and then dies; other times, there'll be an Angry!Battery! sign and I have to plug him in.
So, to recap my most current problem, because this post is getting long:
-iPod shuts down randomly
-iPod turns back on, shows empty battery, but plays anyway and battery slowly refills
-iPod shuts down again after about half an hour
-iPod occasionally turns on and plays as normal, often for as long as an hour; if not, iPod either turns on and shuts down after a few seconds, or shows Angry!Battery! sign and refuses to turn on.
Also I should probably mention that my brother got an identical iPod for Christmas the same year, and has never run with his or really used it for anything except listening to music when he studies or drives (he has one of those car gadget things), and doesn't have the same problems.
I'm thinking it's a battery problem, but the fact that sometimes he'll shut down and then come back and play for his usual amount of time (remember, this is a 2003 iPod, so the battery has never been as powerful as the new ones), and also the fact that it happens most often when I am moving through a song, makes me wonder. Should I pay the $60 to replace the battery, or is it time to just get a new iPod? (I really miss running with music.)
Thanks!

It's not the tracks that are causing it to freeze up. It's random!
All these tracks have been on my iPod since day one and played fine and most of them are from iTMS anyway.
So your suggestions is not quite relevant.

Shuts down/ turns fuzzy

My iphone occasionally hangs and screen turns fuzzy or all blue/red then shuts down.
It's also hard to turn it back on after that. HELP!

Your software could be corrupt. Try to create a back up and restore it as new through iTunes to see if it resolves it before putting your back up back on the phone.

Shutting down/Turning on iMac, Lion Bug?

I have a 2010 2.93 i7 iMac. When I turn it on, after the apple logo, it refreshes into another white screen with an apple and it comes with a black bar at the bottom. It disappears very quickly and then comes the login screen. When shutting it down, there's a white screen right before the computer turns itself off. Are these known bugs with Lion? Should I do a clean install to fix them or do some of you that have done a clean install experience this as well?

I've read on another forum from another person with the exact same problem and he also upgraded to Lion.
Here's the quote:
"I would like to add, it's quite petty, but it bugs me when it boots up or you shut down, how the screen turns white before the login or when it shuts down. It's brighter than the default apple logo boot up and it just looks off.
When I shut down last night, this white screen hung for a few seconds and showed a pixelated bar at the top of the screen..."
I would like to add that I never had a problem like this when using Snow Leopard.

Ipad2 Won't shut down / turn off

I was sending an email with just under 10mb of photos and my system froze. I left it for a while and nothing happened so then I tuned it off. I now have the rotating clock on a black screen (like that for over an hour). Are there any magic buttons tips I can use push to re-boot please?

After posting this the similar topics to the side appeared. I held the sleep and home button down for around 15secs and it seems to be rebooting.

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

Spontaneous sudden shut down

Hi, I'm new to Macs--about 6 months with my iBook.
Recently, it has been suddenly shutting down, turning off with a black screen. No warning.
When I restart, it checks the disk, then stops showing a couple of directory errors. I have to turn it off then turn it back on to reboot.
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks!

What's the difference between shut down and log out?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Air and will sell it.
I like to take out my name but don't know how.
What will happen if I Log Out (my name comes after that)?
What's the difference between Shut down and Log out?
Help please,
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The shut down turns off the Mac and a log out closes your user and take your computer to the log in screen. To sell the Mac, you have to reinstall Mac OS X erasing the disk. Open  > About this Mac and copy Version

My iPad is about 4 yrs old. It is constantly shutting down on me. ???

Does not totally shut down, just back to main screen.

Your iPad cannot be 4 years old, so I think you are mistaken on that front.
Start with the basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
If none of those things work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad. But try those first.

G5 iMac Shuts Down for no reason

We have an almost year old G5 iMac 2.6 GHz, 20" display, with 1GB of Apple RAM that is shutting down, turns off, it just goes dead, for no reason. Sometimes it runs for an hour sometimes for only a few minutes. It boots up OK, I have run all the utilities that the OS comes with as well as the TechTools software (booted to the Disk) and can find no reason it keeps shutting down. I have checked the UPS (also less than a year old) as well as the power cord and plugs. I have updated the OS and am officially out of ideas. And, NO the boss did not spring for the AppleCare protection plan for this machine (we have it on the other Macs but not this one) This is a print shop so all are Macs are vital to our daily work. Any help will be greatly welcomed.

You still have the balance of the one year warranty to get it repaired at no cost to you, however, if this is being used for the production of income, I also very highly recommend the purchase of AppleCare.
Not only does AppleCare extend the warranty another two years, during that period it allows full phone support for both hardware and Apple software (of which there is more and more available, not less), and might allow for on-site repairs! These features could end up being more valuable to you than the usual repair and replacement of hardware part of the deal.
How long have you been struggling with this issue? With phone support you'd undoubtedly have had it solved by now, and could be using the iMac full time, 24/7, with no down time.

Blackberry shut down

help!!! my BBz10 has gone into an endless loop of restarting by the "red light coming on, THE Blackberry logo is displayed, battery dead signal, shuts down, comes back on, displays bb logo, shuts down, comes back on, displays bb logo, loads OS til 53%, shuts down and it continues repeating the loop. all this happens when its connected to power, and it is connected to power because the battery is dead.
thenks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):
With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the device, LED, or the display does
Remove the battery
Wait 15 minutes
Insert the battery
Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs. If it fails, please try again but increase the step 4 wait time to 2 hours, and perhaps as long as 4-5 hours.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens.
Good luck and let us know!
