my mac is on an APC ups and the power was stable at 8:04pm
programs running
mail
firefox
remote desktop
ichat (aim and bonjour)
internet sharing (to ethernet 2)
any thoughts on what could cause a power off?

Same here. MacPro 3.1.
ALSO on an APC (Back UPS RS-1500). Woke up yesterday to the sound of it (UPS) beeping, red light on, computer off. Happened today, same way. Checked energy saver settings.
Wasn't using it, so did not hear click.
MacPro starts ok, shuts down ok, sleeps ok.
I had it plugged into a wall socket for two weeks while I configured it. No problems. Only after plugging into to the UPS. This UPS has served well backing up a Dual G5 tower previously.
Battery shows 100%. No heavy periphs (like printers) online.
Had a multimeter in the UPS the first time around and got 122 volts in the line.
Could it be the UPS?

Mac Pro turns off for no reason

For the past week or so my Mac Pro is on occasion just turning off, as if the power cord had been suddenly pulled. But only the Mac itself is cutting off, the monitor and other peripherals in the room remain running. There's no dimming in the power as far as I can and after today I don't believe that it is a power surge or loss that is causing the problem. Today the computer has started almost continually turning itself off after shorter and shorter time periods. Just winks out. I've checked all the plugs, ran DIsk Utilities and have the most current OS version installed.
I'm stumped and find that with the machine only staying on for 5 minutes max now that my ability to tech the machine is severely hampered. Any ideas where to begin to look?

I wasn't talking about one line per computer, just one line to your office and equipment off the circuit breaker that isn't shared by 1000W of other equipment.

Mac Pro's wake from sleep inrush current (check wiki).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current
The Mac Pro wasn't behaving but nothing we can do. And rather than occur on cold boot, it was at its worse on wake from sleep, which a firmware update helped resolve, and models built after April didn't suffer from.
A UPS protects your equipment and extends the life probably of components, like modem and the rest, and keeps it running better with fewer problems. I would never run a workstation and $5000+ of equipment (and data has value) without. While no single power conditioner can correct all power quality problems, many can correct a variety of them.

The Quad G5 was like... walking into a hornet's nest to listen to, and see the 100s of posts in a single thread on "what UPS does this thing need" freakin' out so many.
Surge strips have their place, just not going to do a lot to clean or condition voltage or some problems, and sometimes just a way to overload an outlet. I've found the best surge protectors in hardware supply store.
A 1300VA $150 and 1500VA $175, plus best in line conditioner from ZeroSurge.

Why does my mac mini turn off by itself?

My 2009 mac mini turns itself off after a few minutes. This started after a power failure. Might the logic board be fried?

1. Reset the SMC, as per > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Zap the NVRAM/PRAM, as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
3. Boot into Safe Mode, as per > Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Then boot back into normal mode and if it is still turnning itself off...?
Run the Hardware test, as per > Using Apple Hardware Test

Mac pro turning off

Was charging my computer, then unplugged the charger to get more comfortable and then the computer turned off. When turned back on (required charger first time) it resseted my clock and said I had 15-20 percent battery. Second time i reset and it also reset the clock and didnt let me access the internet (said things like security isnt confirmed or something similar). This happens every time I try to charge my computer and move (even barely touching), my cable cord. Sorry if not clear, kind of tired while writing this. Please help and thanks for reading this

ggar11,
which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?
When your MacBook Pro is connected to the charger, open System Information, and select ▼ Hardware → Power on the left-hand side of its window. What data are shown in the Battery Information and AC Charger Information sections on the right-hand side of its window?

Why does my MacBook Pro turn off by itself?

I bought my MacBook Pro 13" on August 26th 2011. Later that day while I was using it, the screen went off and it was silent. I moved the cursor because I thought maybe it went to sleep mode, but it stayed off. I waited a while and then hit a key to try to wake it up. Nothing happened. I hit the power button after about 4 minutes. Still, nothing happened. After about 10 minutes, it powered up and was on the "Log-In Screen". I logged in and everything was fine.
This is my first Apple product and I didn't know much about it so I asked a friend who has had a MacBook for a long time. She said that it was normal and that it's updating or something. "/ I didn't fully believe that, but since my computer was seemingly fine after that I didn't worry.
This random shutting down has happened several times since then and it is VERY annoying to be in the middle of typing a document and have your laptop just cut off only to come back on when it FEELS like it. It happens when I have in the power cord AND when I don't. My battery lasts for an extremely long time so I don't think I have a problem with the battery.
I've read several people's posts on this topic and I'm not really understanding the problem. I bought my laptop from my school's bookstore. I have never dropped my laptop, no water damage, etc. I have the AppleCare Protection Plan, but I don't know how many times you can have your laptop looked at before you lose the plan. Is this worth getting my computer looked at???

Call them ASAP, that is what you paid for. AppleCare

Yes, unless you don't mind your mac randomly shutting down.
Please, call AppleCare.

My mac turns off by itself several times a day

I really need to know what's wrong because my mac it's crashing every day!

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution.
Most likely, the logic board will be replaced. Sometimes the replacement is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.

Why does my Mac Pro turn completely off while in the sleep mode?

Why does my Mac Pro turn off completley overnight when I had placed it in the sleep mode?

A power fluctuation may also shut your computer off from sleep mode.
Is there anything in the System Log overnight?

My mac pro suddenly turned off by itself, then after 10 minutes it started to work again with "no battery available" icon and an always-running fan!

My mac pro suddenly turned off by itself, then after 10 minutes it started to work again with "no battery available" icon and an always-running fan!
it's bugging me since I don't know if it's recharging or not..

Mine has just done this too. Did you find out what it was?

Mac pro HDMI video preview goes yellow solid and turns off by itself often

I work with 2 monitors. main monitor is Apple thunderbolt cinema display 27", and second monitor is LG HD tv connected through HDMI of MacPro.
when I use aftereffect, I use my LG TV as video preview, and it goes yellow solid and turns off itself very often.
I use Final Cut Pro X and, davinci 10 lite with LG TV also, but it works well in these condition.
It makes trouble with aftereffects only.
I hope it can be solved.
thank you

thank you, tim.
English is not my first language. so I'm not sure I fully understand with this.
I will show you my full hardware setting
* Does preview on the LG monitor work at all? When does it go yellow? When does it turn off?
- it works initially. A few minutes after I start making RAM preview, yellow screen appear(the RAM preview keeps going anyway),
if I stop the video preview(command + /), and restart video preview, it turns on normal,
but if I don't stop video preview, 10 or 20 seconds later it turns off by itself, and all the options in 'Output Device' disappear except 'Computer Monitor Only', so I should restart After Effects to turn on video preview.
* When you have the problem, if you open Activity Monitor, is Adobe QT32 Server running?
- yes, it(it appears red characters, is it normal?) looks running
* Do you have Premiere Pro installed? Does it have the same problem when previewing to the LG monitor?
- no, Premiere Pro works well.
- I tried to remove Blackmagic Codec.component , but it didn't solve my problem
let me know if you need more information about this.
thank you again.

Apple pro 27" turns off by itself and then u have to wait 15 to 20 mins and have to unplug and reboot

applepro turns off by itself and then i have to wait anywhere from 15 to 30 mins to try to reboot and have to unplug

You should really be asking this question in MacBook Pro: Notebooks: Apple Support Communities
because this sounds like a overheating problem and we're the Mac Pro (desktop workstation) forum.

MacBook pro doesnt start. When I start my lap top, it shows the apple and the line uploading but it only goes like to 1/3 and then it goes blank for some seconds, then it turns off by itself and turn on again and happen the same, apple logo, etc

MacBook Pro doesnt start. When I start my lap top, it shows the apple and the line uploading but it only goes like to 1/3 and then it goes blank for some seconds, then it turns off by itself and turn on again and happen the same, apple logo, line .. the noise like-fan going on, then turn off and turn on again. Tried starting holding option command P and R key and didnt work either. Starting to think I have lost all my data inside

Try a SMC reset.

It might be helpful if you indicated the exact model/year of your MBP. Are you running Lion OSX?

Mac book pro, Turns off and goes under protection especially with an External monitor on.

Mac book pro,
Turns off and goes under protection, sometimes without any specific motivation, but most of the time when an External monitor is pluged-in.
I use it when I work with final cut pro, and this problem it's becoming huge and changing my workplans....
It can turns off also 10 times in two hours.
In many forums I read that the CPU temp could be the problem, but I've checked it and It's always around 62°-68°....
In some others they say that the new RAM could be the problem too.
Is anybody able to help me? (Underneath you can check the Panic Report and my mac informations)
Thank you so much.
Antonio

My Macbook Pro (2010, 10.9.5) turns off by itself randomly

Hi all
My Macbook Pro (mid 2010, 2.53 GHz, ram 4GB, Intel Core i5, Mac OS 10.9.5) turns off randomly while I am working. The screen turns black and I get a message that my "mac was turned off due to a problem". It turns on again and all seems normal. I haven't lost anything (yet), but it happened three times in the last 10 days and I am getting very nervous. Last time it happened I was working with MS PowerPoint, MS Office, Preview and Firefox. I repaired disk permissions, restarted and I am preparing to empty the system cache. I have Avast-antivirus installed on my mac. Any other suggestions?
Does anyone else experience the same problem?
Thanx i advance
Stavrinski

Thanx for the prompt answer. I checked the link and it could be the case. But my machine is 4 years old and- if it is a hardware issue- is not covered for repairs from Apple
I really don't want to mess with Apple service, it is expensive and takes an eternity...
Followed your tip and uninstalled Avast, although it has repeatedly located and blocked malware on my mac...
