Mac OS restarts itself on its own

2 weeks ago my mac OS has begun to restart itself very often (every 1.5-2 hours or sometime even more often) on its own. If i don't have any word or excel doc opened, Max OS fails to restart as it stops at the moment it asks to save such document.
I also have a mac book pro 13 inch (besides MacBook Air) which runs OS 10.5.8 and it now experiences the same problem. Both macs are sync through Mobileme.
Please, advise how to fix this bug.
Thanks!

Reinstall OS X and start doing some basic maintenance:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack (not compatible with Snow Leopard.) If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
8. Data Backup (Commercial)
9. SilverKeeper 2.0 (Freeware)
10. MimMac (Commercial)
11. Tri-Backup (Commercial)

    If you bought a new iPhone, it is covered under warranty.  There's nothing to get, it simply is covered.

  • MBP restarts itself on its own

    I own a MBP 3.1, with 10.6.7 installed.
    Now and then, especially when it's under load (switching to Safari while a movie is running), the MBP restarts the OS and goes back to the login screen. It doesn't reboot, but all unsaved data is lost. No sign of problems on the logs, doesn't even log the reset.
    What do you think might be the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Mac mini shut down on its own, will not restart, grey screen, spinning wheel. Unplugged everything, will still not restart. Did safe boot, will not restart after safe boot, only grey screen with spinning wheel.

    Mac mini shut down on its own. Could not restart, chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Unplugged everything but monitor, still only chime, grey screen and spinning wheel. Started in safe boot, shut Down, will not restart.
    This happened a couple of months ago, unplugged everything and it restarted, now that won't work.

    Hi BDAqua,
    I just did the repair as you suggested. T ran the disc repair, and twice it cam back, the volume macintosh seems ti be okay, I also ran the verify and permissions repair, both came back okay.
    I was actually hoping that they would find something, so they could repair. I shut the computer down, and restated with out holding a key, and I started up great. I'm baffled.  I have moved 20 GB to an external hard drive, as I only had 10% open space.
    I have Tech Tool 6, would you recommend to run a repair check on that, or just leave well enough alone.
    I agree with you on the new Mac's, I have problems with no disc for back up, until they realize their mistake I will stay with Snow a Leopard. This is the first problem I have experienced, so I can't complain. Their last programs are not as perfected as under Steve, prior to his handling over the reins, hope this is not going to be the future we can expect from Apple.
    I will wait to here back as to your suggestion regarding the Tech Tool check
    Thanks for all your help.
    Gratefully,
    Cheri

  • I have a iPhone 4 that will not stop resetting itself on its own this is my fourth phone and the second to have this problem

    I have a iPhone 4 that will not stop resetting itself on its own this is my fourth phone and the second to have this problem. I have AT&T so I need to post here instead of actually being held to get help on a Sunday night. this is a extremely frustrating situation as I count on this phone for business.

    Are you restoring your phone from a previous back up? If so there could be a problem within the back up. Try restoring your phone as a new device and then manualy reinstall all apps.

  • My Ipad keeps rebooting itself on its own

    My Ipad 3 just started rebooting itself on its own.  I had the computer powered off and locked and then turned it on.  It came on and then within 30 seconds shut itself down, only to reboot itself without me touching it.  I am using 7.1.1, I am using AT &T as the carrier.
    I have tried to reboot it holding down the on/off button and the home button at the same time as someone suggested that.

  • Mac Mini - Screensaver starting on its own and clock is fast ...

    Hi there experts ....
    I've got a 4 month old Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
    I've noticed for the past couple of months the clock is 4 minutes fast ....
    And the screeensaver is coming on by itself out of nowhere ...
    I/ve run disk repair ... Maintenance ... put screensaver to never and even disabled front row screensaver
    I've reset pram and nvram ... ANy clues ....?

    So even if you put the screensaver to never it still starts on its own?
    Also you clock runs faster by 4mins?
    I smell an OS issue. Partition your drive and install a fresh OS onto it. If it works(no problem there) then restore the partition into 1 drive. Zero out the drive and put a fresh OS in it
    **back it up first
    If the fresh OS on the new partition still fails. it could be a hardware failure.

  • Mac Pro wakes up on its own!

    I have had my Mac Pro for over two years, but only since maybe two weeks ago have I had this issue. I always put the computer to sleep when I'm not using it, but lately it will wake up "on its own" with the least provocation. The most frequent catalyst is static electricity, when I feel a spark from touching my doorknob, or turning on my lamp, or taking off my sweater, the computer will turn on, even if I'm a few feet away. Plugging the power cable into my nearby MacBook will do it too. And I think, though I can't remember exactly, that it sometimes happens without anything electrical happening nearby, just seemingly at random! Does anyone know if I can do anything about this?

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
    Mine follow;
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
    Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
    Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
    tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
    After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
    Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
    Check the printer queue!"
    Good Luck!  DALE

  • My mac shuts down suddenly on its own

    Please help
    Since installing 10.4.8 my mac has been shutting itself off on its own.
    While I would normally applaud such energy saving activity, it isn't
    appreciated when I'm in the middle of doing something.
    Pretty much that is the story: mac shutting down suddenly while I'm busily typing something. One moment working, next machine has turned itself off.
    None of the logs show anything interestingly amiss, but I could be wrong.
    Anyone else experiencing this sort of thing?
    Thanks in advance,
    Carol Hatcher

    My Appologies. I mistakenly thought that since I filled out the
    fields below the message box with the model, os and other details that
    they would be visiable to all. What a fool i was.
    I have a iMac G5 running Mac OSX 10.4.8 right now.
    Other details:
    Processor: power pc
    Memory : 2G
    I have owned it since May of 2005.
    The shutdown now occurs while logging in. It took me three tries
    tonight to get up and running.
    Also, when logging in, i have to wait over a minute for the keyboard to be recognized - no response in the password
    field.
    Best wishes to all and thank you all in advance,

  • Mac Pro shut down on its own, then on boot up it beeped steadily for 2 min?

    I put my 2009 Mac Pro to sleep then the next day I find it completely shut down! I boot it up and then I hear a steady beep (every second) for about 2 minutes. After 2 minutes the beeping went away.
    Any idea what caused Mac Pro to shut down on its own? And what does the steady beeping mean? The beeping is coming from inside the Mac Pro's speakers, not from my BOSE 5 computer speakers.
    I don't think there was a power outage as the UPS is fully charged, and I asked a neighbor across the street.

    I wasn't clear in my description, it's a steady continuous beep, it's a rhythmic beep -- it'll do this for 200 beeps or about 2-4 minutes.

  • 2008 Mac Pro restarting itself after waking from sleep

    Recently, my Mac Pro has taken to restarting itself unasked upon waking from sleep. I just moved to a town with a hot summer, and my room has no air conditioning and gets quite warm. Could the temperature in the room be causing this? I don't think so, because it happens in the cool of the morning after an all night sleep, too.
    Another factor I just discovered is that one of my RAM chips has stopped showing up in the system profiler.

    Replace the pair of DIMMs first.
    Monitor the temps inside.
    Install and use SmcFanControl 2.2
    Run Apple Hardware Test
    You may want to try a clean system install to test with once you have the RAM replaced. Faulty RAM can cause all kinds of issues. And dirty files. Some deeper check for corrupt files than Disk Utility is probably in order.
    There is a significant "Inrush-current" on boot and wake from sleep with the 2008s. They need good power, a 1500VA/900W UPS, and sensitive to other equipment on the same circuit.

  • Just got my first iPhone, an iPhone5. I added the contacts via my Mac, but the phone on its own added my 5000 Facebook friends as contacts and won't let me delete them. How can I delete them? Thanks.

    I just got my first cell phone, an iPhone5.  I added my contacts via my Mac.  But the phone on its own imported the contact info of all 5000 of my Facebook "friends."  When I go to one of them, hit edit, and try to delete them, the phone tells me that I cannot delete a Facebook friend.  This is a nightmare.  Please, I beg you, tell me how I can get these Facebook friends off of my contacts list.  Thank you!

  • File association reverting itself on its own

    I have been unable to change the file association for .bib files. I would like to open all of these with JabRef (default is texmaker). I selected one, did cmd-I, went to the "open with" tab, looked for JabRef, selected "all applications" from the drop-down menu (JabRef is not a "recommended application"), selected JabRef. I then pressed the button "Change all" to change all of the .bib files and the file association reverted itself to texmaker!
    What could be the reason for this behaviour? I made sure that the file was unlocked before trying to change its association after it failed the first time, but b/c I did not know what else to do, in fact it seems irrelevant. Any suggestions?

    I did it, but there is no effect. Just to make sure, what is that you mean exactly by quit the app? Quit the Terminal? In any case thanks a lot for the suggestion.
    Besides, I have circumvented the problem by associating bib files with BibDesk, although it is a bit annoying that the file association seems to ahve a glitch.

  • My mac wakes from sleep on its own?

    Hi all, for some reason my mac wakes from sleep overnight, not quite sure at which time it does this but I have found the computer awake and up and running in the morning for a few days now?
    any ideas why it would wake itself up?

    98% likely one of your USB devices is waking it up. Do you have a USB hub attached or a bunch of USB devices (drives, other doodads) attached? The console tip above may help tell you which one it is
