Macbook 10.6.8 has recently started to do instant shutdowns....
Hello All,
it started to do the shutdowns in the last few weeks, this after i've noticed that the fan runs a lot more than it has in the past.
i've reset PRAM, reset the power manager, repaired permissions, and so far it hasn't shutdown.
I ran the hardware test and get this error, "4SNS /1/ 40000000 : TBOT". if that error means that the ethernet card is fried, I know that already
if it continues to shut down, what next?
thanks in advance, Ramsay
According to an apple article, your macbook was not designed to run without a battery installed. see link http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2332
You actually get a 37% drop in performance. Long term, I don't know what this can do, but your Macbook has thermal sensors in it. Depending on what programs you are running, the fan comes on and cools your processor and graphics card. the hoter they get, the faster the fan runs. It can get to 6500 rpm. If it can't handle the heat, the thermal sensor tells the Macbook to shut down. If the sensor is reading wrong, then do a SMU reset. Or zap your pram.

MacBook Pro has recently started to crash.
My MacBook Pro has recently started to crash. It sometimes crashes when watching streamed video (youtube/netflix), and will always crash when using high processor programs (e.g. final cut X, Logic Pro) and cannot run any games without crashing. Usually starts running hot before cutting to a blank screen (and any audio starts to loop), and requires a hard reboot.
Any help would be apreciated.
below are the latest error report, and hardware copied from settings.

You probably have the issue addressed by that article.
Take the computer to Apple or an authorised repairer, tell them that you think it may be the problem mentioned, and they should run a simple pass/fail test.
The service is only for three years after initial purchase, but several users here have reported getting free repairs even after that limit, sometimes after contacting Apple customer relations, pr speaking to an Apple store manager. -
My Macbook Pro has recently started to mute/unmute itself randomly. VERY FRUSTRATING! It doesn't matter whether I have speakers connected or using the onboard speakers. Any suggestions?
I have looked at other forums and the fixes suggested do NOT work.
What would cause this?
How is it corrected?Hello DChrystal
Try paying attention to the Keyboard Viewer to see if any keys are being pressed that could be causing the sound to be muted. If it is, try it in another user to see if it is software that is causing the issue or if it is the actual keyboard that is having the issue.
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond

My mid 2010 Mac running yosemite has recently started to lock up when I do a swipe on the magic mouse to scroll a web page. Anybody having a similar experience? I believe I've taken the last update to Yosemite within the last several weeks but this behavior did not start in concurrence with any system maintenance events.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -

My MacBook Air has recently started having substantial WiFi connectivity issues. How do I fix this?
For the last couple weeks my MacBook Air has started having some mighty substantial connectivity issues.
When I wake it from sleep, or if I'm using it for an extended period (say, more than 5-10 minutes), the connection will become extremely unreliable. This primarily happens with browsers, or the Twitter application. For example, if I start a call on Skype the call will continue to function just fine, but I won't be able to connect to any websites through any browser. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox while the connectivity problems are occuring. When they do occur, a full shut down and cold boot are required to make it work again for a short while.
Does anyone know what might be causing this? I've done numerous checks for malware using Clam Xav and Sophos Anti-Virus. (I didn't suspect that this would be the issue, but it was still something that I decided to rule out.) Additionally, I've tried connecting using both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands on my wireless router. Neither seems to be more successful than the other. (Note: The 5GHz works perfectly and without interruption on my iPad and desktop PC. The 2.4GHz works perfectly with my iPhone 4S and Xbox 360. I feel that with that in mind, I can safely rule out the router as the root of the problem. Both of these examples go on for very extended periods of time. I game regularly using both my PC and Xbox 360.)Hi Jollified,
Does your sound work when you try to use head/earphones? If so, try the following:
Plug your Headphones into your Mac.
Play a sound through them (a song for example), then stop the sound.
Make sure 'Preferences' is isn't open. If it is, Quit.
Launch System Preferences > Sounds.
While the Sounds tab is open and set to 'Headphones', pull out the Headphones from the jack.
You should see your Mac reset to 'Internal Speakers'
Also, I see you have tried resetting the PRAM, have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)? Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
As for your MacBook not sleeping when you close the lid, there are many reasons this can occur.
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following:
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck! -
Hi
My macbook has started getting really hot after using it for only maybe 10 minutes or so, it can go up to 73 degrees quite quickly, I am only surfing the net etc but have a few pages open at the same time.
Also should I switch it off after I finish using it or is it ok to leave it in sleep mode for long periods of time......
it is about 1 year old
thanksFirst try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
If there is no change, install istat menus:

Open Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and %CPU to display values from high to low.
Look for a process that consumes a large % of CPU.
You may post images of both for inspection.

Firefox has recently started freezing and unfreezing, how do I fix this?
As noted above Firefox seems to be having trouble with freezing, I have reinstalled Firefox, Java, and Adobe Flash, all without any success. I am not having such trouble with IE running on the same computer, and going to the same sites. This has happened several times while I type this little bit of text. The text that I input finally shows up, but some mouse clicks don't get through, and I have to make them again.
Edit: I also have cleared the cache, recent history, and deleted all cookies trying to fix this issue.
New edit 12/22/2011: I have now uninstalled 8.0.1, and installed 9.0.1, with the same bad results. I really want Firefox working for me again.Thank you for your reply.
The problem self corrected about a month after I posted that, and I forgot that I had made the post.
It may interest you to know that I only have addons of the plugin type. There are eleven of them, and six of those have had updates with the sort of timing that leaves me not knowing if any of them had an update around the start of the problem, or around the end of it. their most recent updates were at least 1 month after the problem ended, and I have no record of any updates before that time. Two of those six are Java plugins, two are shockwave plugins, even though I don't know exactly when they were updated, I do know that they were updated at lease once during the time I had the issue, and those updates didn't fix it. Leaving only a Google update, and Pando web plugin for suspects.
In my OP I likely should have mentioned that in the past I had had short periods with this problem as well, and it always had self corrected in just a few days. The problem wasn't as severe in the earlier cases ether. Next time it happens I will try your method and see if I can end the problem on the spot. The down side to that is that if it's not the Google or Pando plugins, it would have to be one of the ones that most everyone depends on for much of their enjoyment on the web.
Is there anything else you can think of that could be suspect? BTW, I maybe should mention that I don't allow any extra tool bars to install on my browser, It's part of how I like my web experience. -
Doppler-style whine has recently started appearing
Recently, my iMac G5 has started emitting a series of tones that have me vaguely worried. It will make the noise four or five times in a row (never more) and then carry on as if nothing had happened. Putting my ear closer to the panel, the noise seems to be coming from the lower right corner.
The noise itself is always the same tone: it fades in, sounds for about three seconds and then fades out. If you've ever heard a relatively high-pitched distant lighthouse or warning buoy in the fog at night, you'll know exactly what I'm describing. In fact, when I first heard it, I was convinced it had come from a nearby work site!
The machine doesn't seem to be running hot or anything like that although the area that whines is slightly warmer than the rest of the display's front.
Any thoughts?
GavinSince you are connected to an Airport, suggest that you also crosspost in the AirPort Forums just in case your issue is Airport related.

ANE has recently started throwing error #3500 in Flash CC
I have been using the same ANE for about 18 months now for native alerts in AIR on Windows desktop. Just recently AIR has started throwing the following error when trying to call any of the functions in the extension (in this example confirm is the function being called in the NativeDialog ANE):
ArgumentError: Error #3500: The extension context does not have a method with the name confirm.
at flash.external::ExtensionContext/_call()
at flash.external::ExtensionContext/call()

at application.ui::NativeAlert$/confirm()[G:\Authoring\application\ui\NativeAlert.as:34]
at application.control::CommandCentre$/execute()[G:\Authoring\application\control\CommandCen tre.as:119]
When the app is published and installed it seems to work fine - the error only occurs when debugging in Flash CC. Has a recent update to Flash introduced this or is there some way around it? I tried going back to AIR 14 and the issue still occurs so I don't think an AIR update has caused it.This is the ANE:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3481579/NativeDialog.ane
Can be used as follows:
import com.nemenvisual.NativeDialog;
var nd:NativeDialog = new NativeDialog();
nd.alert("Alert title", "Alert message");
This ANE is for Windows desktop only. -
I have had issues within the last three weeks or so where Firefox will lock up when accessing websites like deviantArt.com or Facebook, and sometimes even Google searches. When trying to load these sites, sometimes the program locks up and starts using 50-60% of my CPU and sometimes a steadily increasing amount of RAM. The only way I can fix it is to go into Task Manager and kill the program, then restart Firefox. This isn't always a fix, either, as sometimes the same exact problem immediately occurs when I reload Firefox and have to kill it again through TM. I typically have four to six tabs open, and have never had issues with Firefox like this before the approximate date of the 17th of September. Could this issue have been caused in the more recent updates?
try this:
For me the solution was the network.http.max-connections setting. Lowering this setting from it's default of 256 to 32 fixed the issue. If you haven't tried changing this maybe give it a go by typing about:config into your address bar, then click on the network.http.max-connections setting and changing the value to 32. -

How do I correct this recent issue where my iPhone 4 powers down overnight? It started shutting down as if I turned off the phone. It began around three or four weeks ago in December 2013. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I bought my iPhone 4 in January 2010 and use Verizon cellular service.
At first I suspected a bad connection with a Sharper Image charging dock. But I find that it shuts off overnight even when I don't charge it. I can have it charged up at night, not go to use it until the next morning and have to hit the Home key either with a quick double-click or long hold down on Home key until the Aplle logo appears, in order to be able to use the phone again. I have not resorted to wiping the iPhone to full restore yet.
