IChat keeps shutting off when using a different login...

I recently set up my sister's new iMac 20" Intel. Her login is the administrator. I also made a login for other members of the family. iChat works using her login but when I login using another login on the list (i.e. her daughter's login) I try to turn on iChat but then it crashes and the software shuts down. Doesn't anyone know whats going wrong with this?

HI Xterratop,
Did you manage to set iChat up in the duaghter's account ?
Were you using your screen name ?
Did you type in your Real Name in the set up screens ?
It may be there is a problem with the Name you entered in the set up screens and the one in the Address Book at the Me card for that Mac account.
Go to the /Users/(That Mac account)/Library/Preferences and delete all the apple.com.ichat.xxx.plist items you can find and force it to go through the set up screens again.

Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

My iPod keeps shutting off when I go onto apps. It has shut off about 3-5 times in the last hour. Help?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

With the iPod still connected, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

Then you may have to Restore your iPad from backup in iTunes?

My ipod keeps shutting off when go to the music menu

I have had my black 4 gb nano for a while and today it started shutting off when i push the center button when going into the music button kind of like it is going to sleep because when i turn it back on the apple logo shows up does anyone know how to fix this i already tried resetting it and does anyone know where to buy the invisible shield? thanks.

I had the same problem (now I have a different problem). This happens when you delete podcasts from the nano but do not delete the podcast directory from the ipod itself.
In iTunes, click on your iPod on the menu on the left. Then click on "podcasts" -- below your ipod. Then look for any podcast directories without actual podcasts below the directory. Delete the directory(ies) and you should be okay.

Computer shuts off when using Firefox.

When using Firefox on my XP machine, the computer shuts down while on the Internet at random. I removed FF and reinstalled it, and it still shuts my computer down while on the net. I swap over to IE and there is no problems so it's in the Firefox program. Did not do this until a few weeks ago. HELP

I had this same problem, searched the net, got frustrated, but finally worked it out. If I used Mozilla my computer running Xp would shut off, if I used IE I could surf the web. However flash was not working on Youtube. In the end the problem was simply that my version of Adobe Flash was not the current one, this was causing a software conflict, which in turn was shutting down my computer while running firefox. I simply went to the Adobe site, and updated to the latest Flash, and also downloaded a debugger program for IE. Since then everything is ok, Mozilla no longer turns off my computer, and IE8 works fine with Youtube.
Hope this helps, as it sure frustrated me at the time.

IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

MBP shuts off when using Skype

I recently downloaded skype to stay in touch with family who don't have a .mac. However, now if I'm not plug into an outlet and I use Skype, the MBP will randomly and instantly shut off. My battery displays full or near full life and I don't have this problem if I stay plugged in. I've updated all software and this hasn't resolved the problem and I don't have this problem when not using skype. Please Help

I checked the system profiler and the full charge capacity is 2657 and the cycle count is 107. This only confirmed my earlier diagnosis. The battery is failing. It is now happening when Skype is not on. I think it was just a coincidence that the problem appeared after installing Skype. I've also now noticed a bulge around the battery area and intermittent trouble with the track pad and button. I contacted Apple about the battery and was told I'd have to buy a new one. I'm only out of warranty by a few months and my battery was not part of the recall. Thanks for the help.

Why does my iPhone 4s keep shutting off when it gets to 15% battery life?

It just shuts off, and once I put it on the charger, it will turn on with 18% or more. This has been happening for the past few days now, and I don't know what's going on o_O

Have you been doing the recommended running the iPhone until it powers down then recharging to 100% once a month or so, in order to keep the charge readout calibrated?

MacBook Pro keeps shutting off when locked or shut. It does not turn back on unless I disconnect then reconnect the battery connector.

I don't want to have to take apart my laptop every time I need to use it. Is there a permanent solution to fixing this problem? Trying to avoid a trip to the Apple store.

If you have a Time Machine back up you can try Restoring it, then run your software update before opening and see if it will download the Mavericks compatible version.
I am not to hopeful here. There is no stand alone Safari download for Mavericks.
You would have to reinstall the OS. It should not touch your user files when you install on top of your existing OS.
Always prudent to have a backup.

Why my iPad 3 calendar on iOS 5.1.1. keeps shutting off, when trying to open it?

Hi!
I noticed that other had a same kind of a problem, but in my case I can't open the calendar even for a peek... I´ve deleted an event from 1th of April, but still the same problem! I used iCloud for that one. This is a very disturbing problem, due to all important marks are now only visible from iCloud...

Problem solved

Why does does my MacbookPro screen keeps shutting off when I open it more than halfway?

I Have a very new Mac, and for some reason, the screen goes black when I open it more than halfway. It happens to all the users, and even if it is or isn't charging. The brightening keys also doesn't do anything for it. I don't know if this is connected, but I also have half of the lights on at the dock, it kind of looks like lights on a stage.......
please help if you can. i can't live like this anymore!

Anything that is repeatable can be fixed at the genius bar.
You appointment for an evaluation is free at an Apple store, in warranty or out.

Apps keep shutting off

My apps keep shutting off when I am using them

Quit/close all apps completely and restart the iPad. If this helps, make note of the app that you last launched if the iPad crashes again and assume that app is the culprit causing the crashes.
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.
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.
You can also try rebooting the iPad and see if that helps. Reboot 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.
