It sleeps without my permission

This afternoon, my MacBook went to sleep. It should't have, because it had 1 hr + of battery power remaining, and I was actively using it. When I woke it up, it just went to sleep again...and again. I was able to keep it awake just long enough to shut down the computer and start it again. Then the same problem occurred, and I even had to wake up the computer while it was shutting down (it did then shut down).
When I got home and plugged it in, it went to sleep unexpectedly again, but when I woke it up, it stayed awake.
Is this an issue that I can resolve on my own, or should I just resort to AppleCare? I appreciate any feedback on this issue.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

It should. You can also double check the charge in your battery by manually pressing the button on the bottom of the battery - this will give you an LED read out of its charge. If it doesn't come around it may be a faulty battery.
Double check your Sleep settings as well (both Battery & Power Adapter).

From that HT3702 page :
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store or Mac App Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD or the local currency equivalent, to verify your account information.
You might see authorization requests on your online statement. These requests aren't actual charges; they are tests to confirm that your payment card account is active and has available funds to accommodate transactions. Authorization holds are removed by your financial institution shortly after your purchase clears. The time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution.
The number of days that it takes to diappear varies by bank, but it's usually a few days - though with the weekend coming up it might take an extra day or two

A search engine called DynaSearch has taken over fire fox without my permission

I think My brother has attacked my computer, he found my note book and i now have 160 spam when I had only about ten before, and even an xxx dating service used my daughters name to make me click to their site, saying," Sheila has a message for you". Since then fire fox started crashing every ten minutes, and now it's not crashing because a site called DynaSearch has taking over the usual Google trademark that used to apesr on my page, this is a search engine that has taken over Fire Fox without my permission correct. How do I get Fire Fox back, and get them off.

I don't see how the Password Exporter extension would work in Firefox 32. The password files were changed as of Firefox 32, and that extension doesn't look like it was updated.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/versions/
Version 1.2.1
Released August 29, 2010 - ''Over 4 years since the last update.''
Works with Firefox 3.0 and later ....
See if this helps you.
Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
Paste this pref in the Search field at the top.
'''signon.importedFromSqlite'''
Then double-click that pref to toggle it to false, then restart Firefox.
Hopefully your Passwords will show again.

G41m p28 Sleep without fan ?

I can't get my PC to sleep under Win7; the fan stays on.
The manual says:
if the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage
of the CPu fan control.
I've checked the 4-pin CPUFAN and the control pin is blank with 3 only wires to the fan.
Does this mean it cannot sleep without the fan on ?
I have read elsewhere that certain USB pins can be selected so that the whole board powers down on sleep, but I can't find anything that matches that description in the manual.

You need to set the ACPI Standby Mode to S3 instead of S1 in BIOS Setup.

If you downloaded Flash Player from the standard location http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ then you WILL have the option to decline the bundled install:
If you download the installer from Mike's link above (which is posted several dozen times in this forum every day), then you will not get any bundled software.

A config profile deployed on my devices without my permission.

I believe a config profile deployed on my devices without my permission to access my information. These are consumer only products (iPads and iPhones). Is this legal and what can i do to remove them? Profile does not show in settings. I see info via the diagnostics and usage data. I tried wiping all devices but does not remove it. Please help.

What profile? Where are you seeing this? What's it called? Is your phone enrolled in an MDM server??? If you don't see anything in Settings -> General -> Profiles, then none are installed.

If you are talking about your Apple ID password, make sure it IS your apple ID.
In the past 24 hours, I have received two emails "How to reset your Apple ID password". I had not requested any change and I finally realized someone else is trying to reset the password. I have had this Apple ID since 2009 so I am not using someone else's ID.
Again, if you are not receiving the email to reset make sure you have the right ID - it might be going to the email linked to the account, and it might not be yours.

Photoshop CS5 flattening without my permission

No I did NOT uncheck the layers box.
No I did NOT accidently FLATTEN my piece
No I didn't change the color space
With that out of the way I'm stumped as to why the eff my photoshop has flattened two of my PSD files without my permission. I've lost hours of work this way
I work in PSD then when done I hit save. Then File> Save as> PDF then I name my PDFS, do so for my other projects then I close everything. I've had two files already where I have opened the PSDS and they're flattened when I never saved them this way.
What could be causing this?

Same thing.
Again, you saved the PSD without layers because you forgot to turn layer saving back on after saving without layers.

Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

Does iPad/apple block access to some websites without my permission?

There is in fact no native ability in iOS to block specific web sites. All you can do is turn off Safari completely.
As the others have suggested, either those sites are not compatible with the browser in iOS (being based on Flash or Java, or using Microsoft-proprietary components that work only in Internet Explorer, for instance), or your Internet connection is blocking the sites.
Regards.

Today my daughter could download 2 aps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download anything.

Today my daughter could download 2 apps on her phone without my permission. We are part of family share and her settings show that she needs my permission to download everything. How could she download the apps if I did not giver her permission. I thought that was the point of family sharing in the cloud.

Yes, Family sharing is almost not useable this way. Once you activate it you won't be able to load some of the best/essential apps even though they are free. But they are blocked by the Patriarch of the Family. :-(...
I do not understand why this issue does not get bigger Attention? Does noone use familiy sharing yet? Or do they activate it right after they have loaded all those essential apps beforehand?
