Hi, Lately many times my MBP15 shuts down a few second after waking up from sleep mode. Any ideas why? I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away...

I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away, but I'm not sure. After shutting down it automatically restarts and gives me a message Ÿour computer had to shut down because of a problem, press any key to restart..." and when it comes on again it gives me an option to send an error report to apple.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah your Mac is having a Kernel Panic and the option to Restart the system when that happens is checked. So the system Restarts Automatically. Uncheck that option. For some unknown reason it is located in the Energy Saver applet in System Preferences.
As to the ROOT cause it could be software or hardware problems. There should be a Kernel Panic report in the console logs.
But if you do a search of these forum you'll find many that are having these restarts waking from sleep. So it would seem to be a hardware problem.

Pavilion dv6z notebook - shut down a few seconds after pressing the power button

Pavilion vd6z powers up for 5 seconds (I see the HP logo screen and the Windows startup asks if it should launch the Repair or Start Normally) then it shuts off.
I have removed the battery/disconnected the adapter and held the power button in for over a minute several times, removed and replaced the memory, blown the dust from the cooling fan & heat sink. I also have tried booting with the hard drive removed. The same issue exists if I have the battery in or not. After all of the these steps, the system still starts up and then powers off after just a couple seconds.
If I press ESC to enter SETUP, the system will still power off.
The warranty expired a few weeks ago and HP tech support can not help me...other than suggesting that I put a post on the forum.
Has anyone experience a similar problem and found a solution?

Hello again visionpga.
If you've used known working memory and the problem still exists then you've ruled out many of the causes as you've tried testing all the hardware which you can test. I believe you're experiencing a motherboard issue which is likely a short. This repair is possible for you to do yourself if you have technical experience or you could have the notebook repaired by HP.
If you want to try repairing the notebook yourself I'll need your product number. This document shows how to locate the product number.
The US/Canadian number for HP Support is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another country you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to locate the contact information.
If you have any other questions just let me know.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Why does it shut down a few seconds after turning on

I just did the most recent update for my Macbook Pro ( I am posting this message with my older macbook pro), and after the update finished, now when I turn on the unit, the pinwheel spins for about 20 seconds, then the unit shuts off. I am unable to interrrupt it and get it to open to any screens.

Try to start in Safe Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
See if you can get in that way.

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there some way to avoid this?

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there a way to stop that?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
What version of iPhoto?

A few seconds after Firefox opens it suddenly scrolls down a few lines and then proceeds normally.

Firefox on occasions behaves like very early versions of Explorer when opening a new web page. A few seconds after it opens, it suddenly scrolls down a few lines and then proceeds normally. Why? Can it be fixed?

I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset and SMC for good measure.

Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
Try booting up to Safe Boot and see if you still have this issue in "safe mode." This will help you determine if the issue is caused by 3rd part sofware, or some other type of OS corruption.

Iphoto keeps shutting down when making a book

Iphoto just keeps shutting down when I am trying to make a book. Every time it shuts down, it erases most of the content of my book. Help!

birdiemac:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where in the process does it shut down? When you try to drag a photo into the book or into a page?
If it's when trying to add a photo, can you edit that photo without crashing and do you use Photoshop Elements or Photoshop for any of your editing?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar

What does it mean if my computer turns on and automatically shuts down a few seconds later?

I tried to restart my desktop but every time it tries to reboot, it automatically shuts down within 30 seconds. Is there an easy resolution for this or do I need to bring it in?

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down before I can even start it up, what do i do?

My MacBook Pro keeps shutting down when the loading-circle appears at start-up. I can only log on to my Bootcamp Windows mode. When i try to format Mac (via command+R) i'm told i'm not allowed to since the disks are locked - Mac is administrator, and obviously I'm not logged in. What do I do?

Try a SMC reset.

Music app quits a few seconds after I open it

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the default Music app -- it quits about four seconds after I open it. During those four seconds, I can scroll through the list of artists whose songs I have, but if I try to select an artist or change to a different list (Playlists, Songs, etc.), the Music app will close immediately.
All of my other default and downloaded apps work perfectly.
I've tried doing the force restart, but that didn't help. Is there anything else I can try besides restoring my itouch to factory settings?
Thanks for your help!

I have OS 3.1.3 and around 10 smart playlists. I used to turn off Live Updating when I'd sync my smart playlists, but when I updated to the latest OS, I left it on because I thought they had fixed it. >_<
I can't look at my smart playlists right now because iTunes isn't recognizing my iTouch at the moment -- the iTunes and Music app problems occurred at the same time, and I was hoping that fixing the Music app problem would also fix the iTunes problem.
... While I was writing this response, I used MediaMonkey to +sort of+ fix the problem. My iTouch was appearing in MediaMonkey with no songs; I added a song to my iTouch using MediaMonkey, and after that the Music app worked and iTunes recognized my iTouch. Yay!
However, I can't see most of my music library -- I only see the songs I had purchased on my iTouch. I suspect that the rest of my music is still floating around on my iTouch somewhere, though, because now I have a big chunk of memory taken up by (orange) Other data.
