tigerton,
When you say "shut down" do you mean that computer shuts off or it blue screens (which usually means it reboots).
Shutting off usually means that it's overheating. Check the fans, check the heat sink.
The computer shutting itself off is a sign that it is overheating.
Sometimes this is solved by a BIOS update. If you tell me the model / manufacturer of your computer (or motherboard), I can help you find out if there's a BIOS update.
Clean out your fans on your computer. Clean out your heat sink. If there's a speed switch on your fans, make sure it's set to the highest setting.
You might consider downloading a motherboard monitor that will let you see how hot the laptop is getting inside of it. There is a shareware one that might work for your computer at http://mbm.livewiredev.com/. Download the MBM 5 software. And this will let you keep track of the temperature inside your box.

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.

Why does my Preview app keep shutting my computer down?

For weeks now I've been reporting this issue to Apple but so far I haven't had any response or update fixes. When I click on a picture file Preview attempts to open the file but then quits or shuts the computer down. Any help with this?

Hello,
I wouldn't expect to hear from Apple or see any fixes for 10.5.x at all.
Sadly that excerpt doesn't help me at all, we might get more info by having Console open before you try Preview...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Click on the top line we want, Shift plus click on the bottom line we want, CMD+c to copy, then paste the text in a reply with CMD+v
A few dozen lines should be about right, hundreds or thousands won't likely be readable.

Itunes is shutting my computer down!

Hi all, have a problem with my itunes and mini ipod. When I try to open the itunes application my computer shuts down. Have tried uninstalling itunes but when the process is roughly half way thru the same problem happens. Anybody got any ideas? Many Thanks. B

hi B!
When I try to open the itunes application my computer shuts down.
are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

IPod keeps shutting my computer down...

I have no idea what is happening! My iPod was working fine for about a year, and then about two weeks ago, I plugged my iPod in to sync it, and it showed that it was synced, so I ejected it and went on my merry way. When I got out to my car and turned my iPod on, all of my music had been erased. Several hours later, when I got home, I plugged my iPod in and iTunes didn't recognize it, then my computer went to a blue screen and shut down. It now does this every time I try to plug in my iPod with iTunes on.
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Bump!

Imprting cd tracks shuts my computer down after Itunes upgrade

Updated to the latest Itunes 6.5. Anytime I try to rip songs and add them to my playlist, it shuts my computer down. Was not a problem on previous version of Itunes. I've tried 10 different cds and each one does the same thing. Any suggestions, or anyone know how to download an older version of Itunes? I searched the site, but it keeps sending me to the download page for Itunes 6.5. Thanks

Sounds like some conflict in your system. Try going to the PC makers site, MANUALLY looking for updates to your model and downloading all updates they offer, especailly BIOs, chipset and firmware for the CD ROM.
I say to manually look because some PC makers have some kind of "Auto update" software on the PC or there web site and they usually can not pick up the BIOs and things like it so even if theres an update you need it won't show it
Do you get any flash of a blue screen with an error code when this happens?

ITunes keeps shutting down when I open it up. The message says iTunes has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solutions is found.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried something like the above then try opening iTunes in safe mode (press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases. You may find that iTunes opens normally now.

My itunes keeps shutting down with an windows error

My itunes keeps shutting down with a windows error everytime i try to convert someting to AAC.

Im having the same issue. It starts up shutsdown and pops up an error has occured message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it 3 times and even downloaded the Quicktime and ITunes seperately. But the same message appears everytime. I did discover that it was the Quick time messing up though... so uh this might not help but maybe someone else know something about the Quicktime problem.

Download the latest version from here ONLY:

also, make certain your Mac OS X software is completely up-to-date. There is a Trojan Horse that pretended to be a Flash update, and installed Flash with malware included. The latest security updates removes the malware and all older versions.

I have an imac that has erratic scrolling, it just scrolls to the bottom of the page or in whatever area the cursor is positioned at. It comes and goes and sometimes it's just best to shut the computer down to solve the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi..
Command + Option + Esc will prompt the Force Quit window.
You can also force quit an app from your Apple menu top left in your screen or by using the Activity Monitor located in Applications/Utilities

Firefox won't start,but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running. What is the problem?

Firefox will not open, but when I shut my computer down it says that it is running and must be forced quit. Once I rebute the computer it opens but is very slow and hang up on many web pages. I have reinstalled it with little help. In contrast, Windows Internet Explorer works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?<br />
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.<br />
