IMac randomly shutting down for randomly/no reason!
I have had this for the last few days, so I don't really know what's going on...

2011 iMac keeps shutting down at random after Mavericks install.
Installed Mavericks day 1 of the public build on App Store and ever since my Mac will just randomly shut down and not let me power it back up. Only has happened when browsing the web and after shut down I have removed power cord from iMac and wall, and also tried different outlets and nothing the first two times I was able to get it back up and running after about 20 minutes of it just being off. Third time it happened I was not so lucky, made an genius appt and they ran diagnostic test and checked power cord and it of course worked fine for them, took it home and booted instantly... Now 24 hours later it just shut off again and no luck getting it going. Suggestions please or should I schedule another appt and have them send it in?

Battery issue, random shut downs for no reason
Okay, so I've had a MacBook for about 3 1/2 years now. The old battery I had that came with it had clearly run out of cycles because the computer could only last for five minutes without being plugged in. But when plugged in, it worked fine.
So, about a week ago, I ordered a new battery and got a generic one off Ebay b/c the "official" Apple batteries are $120, whereas generics are around $40. I'd rather buy the Apple part, but frankly, the amount that Apple charges for replacement parts is completely ridiculous.
In any case, the battery worked fine for several days and then in the last three days, the computer just shuts off randomly with no warning. It can be plugged in or not plugged in, it doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes I turn it on and it's fine for two hours before this happens and other times it turns off in 5 or 10 minutes. It seems like it must be the battery since that is the only thing that has changed in the last couple weeks. And the display is always telling me I have plenty of juice (between 80% and 98% when it shuts off). It recognizes the battery, calculates the time left, and does not give me an "x" but shows it to be charging when plugged in.
To test to see if it was the battery, I put back in the original MacBook battery. Even though it has no juice, I could previously use my MacBook without issue as long as it was plugged in. But again, I encountered the same issues with sudden and unexplained shut downs at seemingly random intervals whether it was plugged in or not. Just a sudden click, my screen goes black, and the power is off.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this or approach fixing it? I thought it might be an issue of a dud battery, but that wouldn't explain why the original battery doesn't work now. Any solutions? Anyone else had this problem?
Any help or pointers would be invaluable. Thanks so much.Hi Eloco,
Smart idea to try putting the old battery back into the machine, that was going to be my first recommendation in component isolation. Next step... reset the SMC.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
I'd say reset the PRAM but I given what is that the PRAM controls, I don't see any change in system performance as a result of resetting it.
It's possible, that the issue is with the machine (the battery is just coincidental). With that being said, given the age of the machine you're outside of any AppleCare coverage... even if you had it.
There are three areas I'd consider further troubleshooting, whether you decide to do it yourself or go the route of a service center:
1.) The battery connector (sleep switch adapter)
2.) The MagSafe board/DC-In board
3.) The logic board
I'd recommend in that order, as well, ironically the service parts also go from less to significantly more as you move down the list.
Good luck! -
My Imac won't turn on. Randomly shut down and randomly shuts off
Yesterday night i was working on my imac and left it on for about an hour leaving the desk. When i came back it was shut down and wasn't able to turn it on. This morning i unplugged it and plugged it to another plug and it turned on. After a while it turned of again and wouldn't turn on. I re-changed plugs here and there with random success. I then changed the the ram as i had put 2x2gb instead of the original 1x1gb si i replaced the original one and it turned on. So to make sure it was the ram i re-inserted the 2gb but it wouldn't turn on and to my great disappointment it wouldn't turn on when i re-inserted the 1gb original ram either... Bit lost. Not sure if it has to do with temperature issues?
Please help!!!!Sounds like either an unseated or bad Ram module.
Try pushing real hard on each module with both thumbs to insure that they are firmly seated in the slots. -
T40 shuts down for no particular reason
Within the past two weeks, my T40 has taken to shutting down somewhat arbitrarily. The fan seems to be working fine and it doesn't appear to be overheating. Often something like running a YouTube video is enough to shut it down. The only thing that I have upgraded or changed besides the standard monthly Windows upgrades is the Think Vantage Toolbox. I can't see where that would be a factor. Battery and power supply check out O.K.
Perhaps it is just showing it's age. Any idea what would be causing this?
Oh yes, one other item, when it shuts off, I have to re-sign into my Yahoo homepage, otherwise I just get the generic Yahoo page.
T41 2373-7FU
Windows XP Pro, 1.6GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD
Solved!
Go to Solution.Power Management was indeed the answer. Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't spot the change at first, but once I did, it worked.
For some unknown reason, when installing the Lenovo Toolbox, the Power Manager reset the Performance setting from "Adaptive" to "Highest." I have now created a new power scheme with everything the same except for an "Adaptive" level for the CPU speed. The CPU temmperature is back to running a more reasonable 44C to 70C and it doesn't shut itself down like before. Big difference.
My T40 is back to whatever normal is for this seven-year old modified laptop, You have no idea what a relief that is. I was already shopping new laptops. Now, I'm thinking that this laptop can become my road warrior, and I will look for a Desktop PC with a bigger screen, instead. That's what I had secretly wanted to do all along.
This forum is outstanding. It has saved me on more than one occasion. Thank you so much.

Imac G5 shuts down for unknown reason
When I turn on my G5 the screen lights, the Apple logo appears, the twirling dial showing software is loading starts to twirl, and then after about 30 seconds it just shuts off and goes dark. Never happened before but happens repeatedly now. Help!
imac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)Welcome to Discussions: It's always helpful if you specify excactly which model you have, you can check iMac release dates here.
Welcome to Discussions -
If you have the Rev A, your power issue would be covered under the Rev A repair extension program.
Check and see if you qualify, and then call Apple, it definitely sounds power related.
Polease post back,

4 gb ram, using up to date Win 7 and Norton . Notice no pattern but perhaps it could be Adobe related (also up to date) since I have had Adobe PDF's open and/or downloading.
hello kheikal, i can detect no apparent cause that triggered those 2 crash report. as a general advice try to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] & check the integrity of your system's RAM with a memtest tool...

Macbook randomly shuts down while in use. still has batter power.
About six weeks ago I posted this same problem. It seemed to go away on its own but now has happened again (once today and once just two days ago). I couldn't find any thread that had the same problem as mine.
I have a Macbook that I bought in January, 2007 and I've had very few problems with it. Starting last early spring, after a little over a year, the battery started taking less time to run out. It also occasionally took a longer time to come out of sleep mode, usually only a few extra seconds but a few times it took nearly a minute, and once it was nearly ten minutes). I know I need to replace it, but overall, it isn't drastic. It just runs out maybe 25% faster than it used to (and hasn't really increased since), and rarely has problems with coming out of sleep mode.
Three times now my computer has randomly shut down for no reason while I was doing things. Once in August and twice in the last couple of days. It isn't related to a particular program, as I was never always using the same thing. The last two times (today and the other day. And I think the first time, too, though I can't remember), I had my computer unplugged and it had been being used for some time unplugged (once it was around 50%, once around 40%, when it shut off). When I try to turn it back on, it just shuts off again and only stays on when I plug it in again.
I am UP TO DATE on all programs. Is this a common symptom of a battery dying? I'm wondering if maybe the gauge that tells me my battery power is screwed up somehow and isn't giving me accurate numbers (though when this happens, the lights on the bottom still appear as if to say I have battery power left).
Basically I'm wondering if this is a simple battery problem I can solve by buying a new one or if there is a more serious problem with my computer. IS THIS NORMAL? Please help. I love my Macbook.Mine does that. Around 40-45% battery life it just dies.

My iPhone 3GS randomly shuts down for no reason, and apparently I am not the only person having a problem with this. This happens regardless of how much battery life my phone shows, or whichever application I am using. IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS!!!!!!! I understand that cell phones are not built to last forever, but my phone is in to good of a condition to go out and purchase a new one.
Before you get your knickers all in a twist, try the basic troubleshooting steps Apple recommends:
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation. -
The MacBook keeps on shutting down for no reason
Hi,
Well my MacBook is acting kind of weird lately. It'll constantly shuts down for no apparent reason and when I do turn it back on, it would turn on but shuts up right after. It does this about 5 times. I do not DL musics, movies and etc on this laptop. I just don't know whats wrong with it.
Please helpI've had the exact same experience. About two weeks after getting my Macbook (in November) it started shuting down randomly with no warning. After a quick search on the net I found that this was a well documented and fairly widespread issue with Macbooks.
There are whole websites dedicated to it including 'autopsy' photos of Macbooks showing detailed images of the, apparently, faulty hardware that causes the problem and the changes after the repairs. It seems the only real fix to the problem is to have Apple replace these bits of the hardware (seems they are now replacing heatsinks and insulating some wires for heat).
I've updated all the firmware ect. and the guy from Apple Care walked me through resetting the PRAM, but the shutdowns continued the next day...
If you phone up Apple they seems to imediately recognize that it's a problem and schedule for you to send it in for repairs. That's where I'm at now and I'm hoping it will get done fast. I'm new to Apple (just swiched from a PC) and must say that as a new customer I'm really upset that they would sell me a computer that had a very well known and documented flaw (unforuntely I only found that out after I bought it and found the problem myself). People had been reporting these problems for months before I purchased my computer. Now I suppose my opinion Apple, after having switched from PCs, will be largely based on how well the customer service deals with this issue, their customer relationship management and how fast my Macbook gets repaired and returned.

MacBook random shut down (again)
My MacBook has been randomly shutting down for the last week, regularly but unpredictably. It's a number of years old at this point, but has rarely given me problems. The battery is long since dead, so I have had to have it constantly plugged in. I've tested with other adapter cords, but the shut-downs still occur. I anticipate it must have something to do with overheating? Any insight for how I can fix this issue, or whether doing so is even worthwhile?

I have a macbook that keeps turning its self off. The system will shut it self down within 5mins of turning on. If I hold down the power button until I hear a loud beep, the macbook will last about an hour until the dreaded random shut down.
Any idea of the problem is?There was an update many months ago that fixed this issue. I had the random shut down for a while until the update fixed it. If you have the update you'll have to take it to the Apple Store and find out what's going on. I hope you have Apple Care.

How can I stop random shut downs on my MBP?
15" MacBook Pro - late 2007
Mac OS 10.7.3
2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 128 MB
I've been getting random shut downs for several weeks. It basically is like a power failure: straight to black, no warning, no reboot. Sometimes a very short beep/buzz occurs right as it dies. It seems to happen when I'm moving, holding, or have my hands resting on the computer, but not always. I've done the SMC and PRAM resets. I did a clean install of Lion. I just put in a new battery. I'm starting to think that it has to be the motherboard. Any suggestions or ideas?
Oh, and the error in the console is always the same: "kernel: Previous Shutdown Cause: -2."
Message was edited by: davishmcclurgI did not run the extended test, but I did take it into the Apple Store and they could not duplicate the problem. They told me they ran hardware tests on my software as well as their own and it never happened.

Firefox keeps shutting down for no reason!
Firefox keeps shutting down for now apparent reason. I'm typing away and boom, it's just gone! I've lost everything I've typed and have to start all over again!
No errors, no new software, the computer sits on a cooling fan and it hasn't run out of memory!
Am I missing an update? Though I'm NOT really thrilled with the fact that I can NOT choose my own home page! It defaults to the Firefox home page no matter what I put in as my home page in SETUP!
But that's yet another issue!
Please help me with this!
Sincerely,
RodneyHi Rodney, since your More System Details shows that you have MySearchDial, I suggest starting with a little malware cleanup.
Open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to group the items by date. This should help identify how MySearchDial got installed, probably as an undisclosed part of a bundle, and better let you zero in on unwanted software that may be tampering with your Firefox settings. Take out as much trash as you can here.
You may also want to supplement your regular security software with some of the scanners in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
