Imac shuts down after update

My iMac has begun shutting down (twice in the past day and a half) after downloading the newest update, (I didn't get OS Lion) just the new updates. I have i5 intel mac and it is less than a year old. I am just curious if anyone else is having similar issues. Also it is important to include that when I turned my cpu back on I had to unplug it from the wall first, the power button was unresponsive.

I have 2 of the same iMacs in addition to 2 macbook pros with quad cores that are very new. The latest update rearranged my bookmarks on one machine to a previous set and, more importantly, disabled a program I use to disable keylogging. On another machine, some website settings were dropped in addition to the keylogging program. The macbook pros, which are brand spanking new, also had some minor glitches. I know these guys have a lot on their plate right now since they have obviously released Lion before they fully debugged, but those of us who had sense to wait a few months for them to get things straight should not be punished by the release of a buggy update of the migration tools. Apple is such a strong company and culture that I would have expected them not to rush to unleash this Windows-like buggy set of updates and releases.
MAKE IT RIGHT, APPLE.

IMac shut downs after Apple logo appears!

I've looked for similar problems but I've other issue here, I've a login security username\password. So, I can't pick the hard driver and repair it simpley!
Any help...

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

IMac shuts down after removing Mini DisplayPort to SVGA

Hi,
The last couple of years I have worked with a 27 inch iMac in combination with a HP 27 inch monitor. This monitor is connected via a Mini Displayport to SVGA connector. Because I am going to use this external monitor anymore, I disconnected it today which made my iMac shut down imediately. Then it keeps rebooting and trying to start up but shuts down again. Over and over.
The problem stops as soon as I connect the monitor again.
Anybody have any thoughts?

MacBook Pro (10.7.3) not shutting down after updating to latest iTunes

This is a bit of a strange one, and after searching high and low, I haven't seen any other references to it, so...here goes:
I'm working on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) running OS X 10.7.3, and the complaint is this: the system will not shut down or eject a connected iPod (classic) or smartphone (Verizon Android phone) after updating to the latest version of iTunes.
I've been troubleshooting this for several days now, and I've tried the following:
1. Created a new admin account and tested from there. No change.
2. Created a backup image of the hard drive, erased & reinstalled 10.7, created temp admin account - issue resolved, but iTunes library unable to open because it was modified by a newer version of iTunes.
3. Ran software update to bring system current (as of 20 April 2012)
4. Issue reappears after software update.
5. Reinstalled 10.7.3 from Recovery partition.
6. Again, issue resolved, but unable to open iTunes library modified by newer version.
7. Update iTunes, issue returns.
I actually did several variations of the erase & install routine, as well as several admin accounts, but the basic gyst of it is that after updating iTunes, the system hangs at the spinning gear on shutdown every single time.
The version of iTunes that is reinstalled with Lion is 10.5.1. I don't know which version between that and 10.6.1 is causing the problem.
Not sure where to go from here, so I figured I'd throw it out to the community.
Thanks.

Well, after throwing my hands up in the air, I returned the MacBook Pro and iPod classic to their owner because I'd held onto them for over a week trying to troubleshoot the issue with no success.
Two days later, she contacted me and told me her iPod was the culprit -- it had some bad sectors on the hard drive. I had thought to check that, but she had data on the iPod that wasn't backed up anywhere, so I back-burnered that until later.
Glad to see I'm not going insane, though. ;^)

Macbook Pro doesn't shut down after update

After downloading the update for Safari 5.1.2, I restarted my computer to finish the installation but it stayed stuck on a grey screen with the software update bar on top. Now I can't shut down my computer. Everytime I shut it down I'm brought back to the same grey screen and nothing other than the power button will shut my macbook down.
I'm running Lion on a Macbook pro 2.4 GHz

How long are you waiting? I've waited as long as 3-minutes in Leopard already. I was about ready to force shutdown, but then all of a sudden, it shut down.
If yo don't reboot that often, you may have a bunch of virtual memory swap files it's unloading. Try shutting down right after a reboot and see what happens.

IMac shuts down after putting it to sleep

Lately, my iMac G5 has been shutting down automatically after putting it to sleep. If I wake it up within a short period of time it is OK, but if I wait several minutes, it must be restarted.
Did I accidentily change a setting? Or is it a problem with the hardware?
Is there a setting I can check? I have tried to find one in Energy Saver and other places without success.
Thanks,
-tee

Welcome to Discussions - Please tell us which model G5 iMac you have (iMac release dates).I don't think you changed anything, I would suggest that you reset the SMU and see if that helps.
Please post back,
Miriam

IMac Shuts Down after 5 Minutes, No Matter What

Hi Guys,
I have a serious problem. Last night, after about a week of not using my computer, I turned it on, jumped in the shower, came out, and it was off (not sleeping, just completely off). So turned it on again, it loaded up, I opened up Safari, then boom, it shuts off again. I thought it might have something to do with temperature, but I have had temperature issues and I got a new thermal sensor a few months ago (and plus, when it overheated, it went to sleep, not shut down). I tried 2 more times, same results, after about 5 minutes, it would just shut down. I haven't backed anything up on my computer, I was wondering if someone knew what my problem was or any solutions to at least save my data (I was planning on buying a Time Capsule, but now I might have to put that $ toward a new computer).
I have a Rev B iMac G5, purchased around May of 2005. I am on Tiger. Thank you in advance.

"Is there a reason that this happened? What could have been causing it?"
Well, now you know you have a USB/peripheral conflict. You can plug each one back in one at a time until the problem re-occurs. This way you will know which one of your devices is the culprit.
Make sure all your peripherals/devices are up to date in their versions, drivers, etc.

My iphone 4s shuts down after update to iOS 7.1!

My 4s shuts down every time, almost every hour but only since I updated it to 7.1!
I tried everything but nothing helped. No resetting, no going back to factory settings, no pressing Home Button + Power button.
The staff in Apple Store told me that my phone hardware and battery i ok so it has to do wih the software 7.1
They can't fo anything and I have to wait for an update!!
Does anyone has the same problem or a solution?
Thank you.

In Apple Store, they told me that it is a hardware problem and my phone isn't able to use the new iOS 7.1 because my phone is too old but it's only 2,5 years old.
I suspect that something in that conversation was seriously misunderstood. The iPhone 4S runs iOS 7 without any issues.
If the device has a hardware issue, then it does not matter what version of iOS is on the device, it will not function properly.

IPhoto shuts down after update

I recently brought my MacBook into the Apple Store and had someone from the Genius Bar do a massive overhaul software update on my computer. The reason was because whenever I tried accessing my iPhoto it would shut down. Now I can pull up my iPhoto, but if I try to email or upload a photo on my facebook, it will shut down. I saw the guy delete a certain file in my application folder. Any suggestions?

Is this what you what looking for?

IMac shuts down after turning off extrenal HD

Since upgrading to 10.10.2 my 27 Inch iMac 2013 (Fusion Drive) shuts down unexpectedly when I turn off one of my external 4T G-Drive Hard Drive.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2012)
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
I can eject the G-Drive no problem. But if I eject and then turn it off, it also turns my iMac off.
I didn't have a problem before upgrading.
I can eject and turn off my Lacie Drive that is used for Time Machine backups and there no problem.
The problem only occurs with the G-Drive.
I use the G-Drive for extra storage, for my iTunes library and such.
The systems log in console shows the following 'shutdown cause'
> Mar 21 11:17:31 localhost kernel[0]: Previous shutdown cause: -62

Thanks Mark
I just tested and that seems to solve the problem.
Yes also correct about the Lacie Drive.

HT3964 Imac shuts down after start up

New hard drive in Imac when I power it on goes throught the process and then it shuts down, I have new memory as well.

Your capacitors are leaking, this is a known issue with Rev A G5 iMacs, and they should be replaced, along with the logic board. Take it in and if t stays up long enough, try to clone it to an external drive to save your data. I use SuperDuper! to do this.
Let us know how you make out,

Imac Shuts Down after 1 min

Hi
My intel mac is about a year old now, it has been used daily and doesnt normally get turned of or put to sleep it just looks after itself. Recently it has begun to turn off, not go through the shut down process but just turn off. To restart the power must be turned off at the plug and then back on, the start button pressed I may then get 30 seconds to a minute after start up before it urns off again.
Does anyone have any ideas? Know of any safe star modes or such. Any and all help appreciated.
Regards
Ian

IMac shuts down after gray screen/spinning wheel

Every time I start my iMac G5, I hear the chime and then see the gray screen Apple with the spinning wheel, but then it shuts down, never making it to the blue screen and desktop.
Can anyone tell me what the cause of this might be?
Thanks!

Are you able to boot into safe mode? Are you able to boot from your OSX installation disk?
