IMac shuts down when using Safari 2.0.4

My iMac shuts down when I visit certain websites such as Pogo or video sites. Took it to the Apple store and of course the problem wouldn't replicate there. They kept it to check out the scripts and logs to see if they could find a problem - without success; although they did suggest my house is haunted. Brought it home and it quit again.
We thought perhaps we were getting interference from other wireless devices and unplugged our cordless phone which worked for a day. The computer always turns back on so its more of an annoyance than a real problem, but I'm baffled.
It also happened once when I was downloading from the iTunes store, but is most prevalent with Safari.
We have wireless internet connected via ethernet to an Airport Express.
Any ideas? Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi Barry -
Yes I do live near a ghost town (kinda) - Virginia City, NV. And I did tell any unwanted visitors to leave.
Actually, in the last year, they have replaced the Super drive, power supply, inverter and logic board. The only reason I'm not thinking power issues is that it only happens when I'm in Safari or iTunes. I would use Firefox except I've got java issues with that. I can (and do) use the machine for other things all day long without problems. I can use Safari all day long as long as I'm not playing on Pogo or certain video sites. Maybe Pogo is haunted?
It also doesn't happen on my husband's iMac on the other side of the house. Is there something that could cause enough interference to actually make the machine shut down? Oh, the antennae for the satellite TV and internet are on the roof directly above me, if that would have anything to do with it.
Thanks for your help.

Why does my Mac shut down when using Safari?

Every once in a while (randomly) my mac will reboot due to an error even when I only have the Safari Application open. How can I stop my mac from doing this. I have the 2011 macbook pro 13 inch with the latest OS (Mountain Lion). Everything is up to date but why does it keep shutting down?

Hi Sebaz, first try repairing permissions. Go to Applications-->Utilities-->select Disk Utility. Select your drive then select the First Aid button then at the bottom right click Verify Disk and after it verifies your drive click on Verify Disk Permissions on the left. If there any errors click on Repair Disk Permission. Reboot your machine and test your Safari to see if the issue comes back.

Imac keeps freezing when using safari

my imac keeps freezing when using safari or finder
The beachball appears and I have to wait.
My safari cache is emptied, have run Disk Utility to check permissions.
Rebooted various times.
Sorted out ``the community toolbar not supported" issue and still it's happening.
Anyone any tips on what to do next??
It's a 24 inch iMac - early 2009 version
Processor is 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Software is OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)

I have only been able to read your reply by going online on my phone -
I started up my iMac in safe mode on Saturday morning and reran Disk Utility , no problems.
I shut it down and re started it as normal. Whilst I was able to use my Mail and MS entourage and Safari brower,
the computer was very slow and the beachball appeared briefly each time I used a program.
On Monday , it didn't recognise one of the printers and was continually hanging.
All software is up to date and I have run Disk Utility - repair permissions again.
I shut the computer down yesterday and rebooted in Safe mode this afternoon so that I could try to look in
Console.

Photoshop CS6 shuts downs when using the move tool

Photoshop CS6 shuts downs when using the move tool. It seemas to run fine until i try and use the move tool. PS worked fine just a few weeks ago and now it has this issue. What can i do to resole this issue?

7. If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
Multiple video adapters can cause problems when OpenGL and Photoshop use the GPU. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Also make sure that they both support the same versions of OpenGL and Shader Model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.

Appreciatte your Help

Yeah, I hope it is just a firmware-problem. AND that Nokia will release an update soon. The version on my phone now is 021.013, and it is from July. A firmware update is long overdue now, especially after all the other problems reported with this phone. And btw I have turned the phone on and off several times without this helping to fix the radio-issue...
I guess I will have to return the phone soon, if Nokia is unable to release a fixed firmware.

IMac Shutting Down when DVD player is in use

So, I know a lot of folks have been mentioning the new iMacs heating up and shutting down. I'm managing my heat issues okay to this point, and I use Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign every day.
But - the thing keeps shutting down when I try to play a DVD!
Anyone? This one has me stumped.

Imac shuts down when not in use

I purchased my 21.5" imac July 9, 2011 with Snow Leopard. No problems for 1 month. Then about August 12th or so, my imac started to mysteriously "shut down" when not in use. I'll be working on it, then get up to go pour myself a cup of coffee or something...then I come back to my computer that has now shut off. It is NOT asleep...it is OFF. So I turn it back on and it is fine. This has happened a few times now within a week. Anyone else have this problem?
By the way, I am now running Lyon, as of August 18th. When the imac shut down, I was usually viewing photos or on the web.
thanks!

First thing I would try is to reset the SMC, it can help with power related problems. Shut down the Mac and unplug everything including the power. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Plug in the computer but be careful not to press the power button as you are plugging it in. Wait a few seconds and turn it on. Hopefully it won't happen again. There is always Apple Support. Don't let the problem persist until your free phone tech support has expired (3 months). I would also recommend using the iMac with an UPS, and at the very least, a high quality surge protector.
If you have MS Word or a similar word processor you could try enabling the autosave feature and set it to 1 minute intervals. Keep a document open and if you come back to the computer and it has shut down, you can look at the last time the document was updated and know what time the comptuer turned itself off. It could be useful in diagnosing the problem.

IMac shuts down when a GPU incentive app starts

Hi guys,
My iMac a 24" EMC 2267 A1225 (Snow Leopard), is shutting down when i open an application that makes use of the graphics card. It started as a random shut down symptom for example when i was starting Adobe Lightroom. Now it shuts down once it boots on the login screen.
I booted into Safe Mode and tried to push the machine to its limits by opening many apps but the machine is not restarting so i am suspecting that this is an issue with the GPU.
I already installed iStat menus and the only thing that worries is me is the Northbridge 70 and NorthBridge Heatsink that goes up to 70-75 Celsious degrees.
I took it already to an authorised reseller in Cyprus and they have told me that this is a logicboard issue, i do not beleive this and a 700 euro replace is not an option for this 3 year old machine.
Please post your ideas on how to debug further in order to be sure before i go for a GPU replacement.

You may be in luck if you can find one over there...

Photoshop CC shuts down when using Contact Sheet?

Everything just turns black, and I'm getting to the start/login screen in windows 8 when the contact sheet is under progress or done.. I pick like 30 images in jpg, so it can't be that it is to big or many files..
And I will have to say this "forum" is very complicated and there's really no time to search around to find some kind of support.. Takes hours.. And the login function seems to be out of function a lot or something.

IMac shuts down when commanded to print

A friend of mine got a new Samsung color laser and when he tries to print his computer immediately shuts down. I uninstalled/reinstalled the printer software, ran FSCK which fixed some disk directory problems (probably from the unexpected shutdowns) and ran Cocktail, which did the cron scripts and cleared out the caches as well as repairing permissions. It seemed to be working normally, but he just called to tell me that the machine shut down again when he tried to print a document.
Anyone have any ideas about what's going on and what to do about it? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
PowerMac G5 2.0 DP Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for all the help.
I went back to his house tonight and we figured it out. I reset the SMU and installed the latest drivers, but the problem persisted. It was a little warm in the room, so we turned on a small fan on his desk next to the iMac. The next time we tried to print, we noticed that the speed of the fan dropped for a moment at the same time the iMac shut down. I then looked to where the equipment was plugged in and found one of those battery backup power strips with the printer plugged in to one of the backed up outlets. I moved it to one of the non-backed up outlets and the problem disappeared. I'm thinking that the printer was pulling too much power from the system and the iMac was shutting down due to low voltage. Just proves you have to check everything.

IMac shuts down when i try to log into some user accounts

Installed Lion on my mid 2010 iMac.
Now when I log into one of my accounts it starts to log in, then decides it doesn't want to and restarts the machine.
Guest account works fine, and when I made another account that works fine as well. Just keeps shutting down when I try to log into my main account.

Thanks for that. It looks like it is mail causing the problem. Took mail out of launch at start up and seems to be working ok now.
All I have to do now is make sure I remember to turn off mail before I shut down my computer.

Computer shuts down when using Aperture

Hi, does anyone knows what cause Mac to shut down? It first happened when I was using 1.5, stopped behaving this way for a while but now its back shutting my Mac down again. Tonight, it shut down when I was making batch adjustments to several images. When I turned my Mac back on and went back to the same Aperture project, it shut down again. I did this a few times but always the same result.
What is causing Aperture to shut down my computer? Could it be due to lack of memory or something more sinister?? Please help folks.
Mike

RAM anomalies immediately came to my mind too.
Note that 3 GB is a very limiting amount of RAM for a Mac Pro anyway. RAM is inexpensive now. I suggest that you add 4x2GB matched RAM; one good source is OWC: http://otherworldcomputing.com/. The new RAM should be installed on the top riser, old unmatched RAM removed or installed on the bottom riser.
Make sure that Aperture and the OS are fully version-current. Immediately prior to and immediately after every installation of any kind (essentially anything that asks for sysadmin password) I recommend repairing Permissions. Note that repairing Permissions at other times does not have the same effect as immediately prior to and immediately after installations; i.e. repairing Permissions is not some kind of magic fix to use after problems present.
On the Photoshop forums for years there have been many instances of some folks getting poor or unstable performance out of setups that other folks get good performance out of. We see the same thing here on the Aperture forums. The suggested protocol of repairing Permissions is one of the routines that many of us with long term good Adobe performance have tended to follow.
There are many tens of thousands of files with Permissions settings. IMO maintaining them in a consistent state immediately before and after each installation of any kind is a potentially useful protocol with no down side risk.
Good Luck!
