    My ipod jumps, skips and slows down while playing songs. It is very annoying. Is it fixable??????

    I have the same problem. Often, the songs worked perfectly fine before, even the previous day! Changing the format does not help either, nor does restoring iPod settings. In another case, a song WILL work after settings are restored, but after a few plays will return to its old state of making the ipod reset.

  • Potential Args, Computer shutting down while playing a game

    I've only had this mac for 5 months, but it keeps shutting down while I'm playing StarCraft II. It should be able to handle the game, but it keeps telling me to restart and I have no idea what the error says or means. I'm not sure what (4 potential args on stack) means. I'm not sure if it is a frame rate issue and how to fix it or change the frame rate if needed. Any help would be much appreciated. The error is below:

    You are only just beginning to feel the pain of Starcraft II on your Mac. Have you seen this List of problems?
    Blizzard created the junk, and it's up to them to properly patch it. The list of other well known and respected programs it's incompatible with (LittleSnitch, AppCleaner, FileVault, and PeerGuardian to name a few) doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy.
    The page also mentions that your CPU can overheat, for whatever reason, and that means total failure for a laptop or early component damage to a motherboard. Gee, that sounds like something that shouldn't be run on a regular basis.

  • Computer shuts down while playing Facebook games

    I've seen some of the threads regarding this but none of the fixes work for me.  I formatted my hard drive for reasons other than this so it has a fresh install of Windows XP Home Edition, the latest video drivers, and the latest Flash.  When my wife plays Cityville or Castleville, her computer shuts down.  I checked the system logs and nothing is there regarding the shutdown.  I tried changing the hardware exiliration setting and that didn't help.  We've tried the games on Firefox and IE 8 with the latest updates and it still doesn't work.  Any help will be appriciated.

    The operating system, XP in this particular case, will shutdown the system to prevent damage to hardware if it encounters an instruction which can damage the system. It will usually logs an event which you can view by clicking Start, then in the Run field, type eventvwr.msc and click OK. Then open the both the "System" and "Application" submenus and look for events which are prefixed with a white X inside a red circle. The 6th column from the left will contain the Event ID which can be used to try and track down the source of the problem.

  • HELP! L305D-S5881 shuts down while playing

    I bought a satellite L305D-S5881 about a year ago. It never malfunction or anything. About a month ago I was playing Heroes of Might&Magic Dark Messiah when it suddenly shut down. When I turn it back on, just before windows loads it shut down again. I unplugged de laptop, waited a couple of minutes, and worked perfectly.I didn't pay much attention, I wasn't able to play again for work issues, the computer seemed to work just fine, it remained on for days and nothing happened. Yesterday I tried a couple of games, knights of the old republic and king's bounty and it did exactly the same thing. About five minutes after i start to play, the computer crashes. It shuts down, if i want to start it right away, same thing, before windows loads. Wait a couple of minutes, and it just works perfectly.
    I've tried another game, mass effect 2, and it work just fine, the computer doesn't crash.
    I don't have the slightest idea what it's happening, and i'll be very gratefull if someone could help me.

    See my post, about the same issue, here: http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Satellite-A205-intermittently-turning-off/td-p...
    The reason it starts back up after waiting a few minutes, I've read in other forums, is there is like a "safety" power surge protector which gets tripped when a surge happens. You wait a few minutes for that to reset and the laptop will turn back on. When you tax the system it tries to draw more power and a surge happens again. This is likely due to a bad AC adapter (which can be cheaply replaced), or something internal (bad solder on the motherboard, loose wire connections).

  • Macpro 17inch just shut down while using.  Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail.  Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore.  Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

    Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again.  This has happen multiple times over the last six months.  Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself.  When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
    problem.  Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology.  Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable.  Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

    I think you may have already been told what the problem is.  However look at this and maybe it will help:

  • Itunes shuts down while downloading cd (music)  onto itunes please help!!!!

    My computer has been shutting down each time I attempt to transfer music from a cd onto itunes. I have tried deleting my itunes from my computer and installing the new version, however I continue to experience this problem. Itunes will allow me to get 6 to 8 tracks downloaded from my cd and then it shuts down my entire computer. Any help would be appreciated...THANK YOU!!!!!!

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300198
    I would start here. I would also go to your computer manufacturer's site and download all the latest firmware for your computer, including for your CD drives.

  • Macbook shuts down while playing video

    My Macbook randomly turns off while videos are being played regardless if it is a stream or being played from itunes. The computer only does this while running on battery when connected to the power cord it keeps running. When I am just running on battery but not playing video the computer will not turn off and runs as normal. I am at a complete loss for what could be wrong with the computer. I have checked the power saving options and every thing looks correct. PLease Help

    Was this every resolved? I'm having the exact same problem. Notice it especially when I play a fullscreen games (like StarCraft) or video (streaming or iTunes). Just browsing the web doesn't seem to do it, or checking email, etc. Checked my battery cycles and I'm just below 200 (apples says around 300 you'll start to see a decline). Under battery condition it does say "Check Battery", but I kinda feel like this is when the "Check Engine" light goes on in a car - turns on after a certain internal counter goes off but has nothing to do with the actual condition.
    Suggestions?
    thanks

  • MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) shuts down while running on battery

    Hi,
    Five months ago, my MacBook Pro 15'' (2.53Ghz) started showing me the message 'Service Battery'. I took it to an Apple Store and I was told that everything is still fine. Nevertheless, for the past 2 months my laptop shuts down while running on battery (with 20% and 40% levels of charge) periodically. This does not happen every time.
    Does anyone know if AppleCare covers this failure?
    Is there any other way to fix this?
    Thank you,
    George

    Mine does the same thing.  May i suggest downloading istat pro to look at the health of your battery.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Also do you calibrate your battery? 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    I had never done that but after 15 months and 450+ cycles I was experiencing the same problem.  I am a heavy user of my mbp 15"  (2.4Ghz).  After calibrating my health in istat which was going between 30-53 % Is holding steady around 65-mid 70% health wise.  I have also noticed that my battery icon has gone from service battery to replace now to holding at replace soon for the time being.
    I am not sure how many cycles you can get out of one battery but as far as i know 700ish is good.  While i wish i was closer to an apple store (3ish hrs or more) i do hope i have helped you.

  • I-Mac shuts down after sitting for a while, why and how can it be fixed?

    i Mac shuts down when left for a time in sleep mode. Am I missing something or is this supposed to happen?
    It has never happened while anyone is using the computer but that may just be because it often sits over night without use.
    Am using a logitech Wave USB keyboard and mouse because my wife likes it.

    OK reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    4. Release the power button.
    5. Attach the computers power cable.
    6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and check all of the power connections.
    The iMac's are sensitive to power issues (sag or momentary outage) while in sleep mode. If in the Energy Saver preference "Start up automatically after a power failure" is unchecked (as it should be) then you could/would/should find the iMac off after a power problem.

  • Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

    my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

    Hi Monroeeugene,
    I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Change your Mac's sleep settings
    To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
    Open System Preferences
    Choose View > Energy Saver.
    Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
    Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
    Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
    Hope this helps ...

  • MAC AIR SHUTS DOWN WHILE STREAMING

    My MacBook Air shuts down while streaming video.  I am using safari and it works for a while but then shuts down and will not restart for quite some time.  When it restarts I have to immediately close the video window or it will shut down again.  I have the latest version of flashplayer.

    This sounds like an overheating issue.  Flash requires a surprisingly high level of resources.  Do you hear your fans running at all while you are playing the videos?
    Download the free iStat Pro widget directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    It will show you both your fan speeds and temperature.  Start playing a video and let it play for a short while (sometime before it typically shuts off... but long enough to let things warm up).  Then check the temp and fan speed.  Do this while the video is still playing as things can cool off pretty fast after you stop playing the video.  Post the numbers back here.

  • IMAC SHUTS OFF WHILE PLAYING ITUNES

    My IMac shuts off (like the plug was pulled) while playing ITunes and after the computer has been on for several hours.  I am running OSX10.5.8.  Any suggestions?   My fan would not quit running a few weeks ago and I used the Program "clean my pc" and that corrected the problem or at least I thought it did.  The fan does not audible run (loudly) any longer.

    Shutting down like that MIGHT be a sign of overheating.
    Suggest that you download XRG   http://www.gauchosoft.com/Products/XRG/   which monitors your computer's processor temperature and hard disk temperature, and also shows fan speeds.
    Run XRG and watch what it does as you run iTunes leading up to the moment that your Mac shuts down. See if the temperatures are increasing, and if they are, the fans should also increase. If the fans don't run as well when the temperature rises, then they might be broken and can be repaired (typically).
