MacBook doesn't reboot on its own, but will from Startup Manager
I have an early 2009 13" MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. About a week ago I attempted to use Boot Camp to install a Windows partition, and for reasons that don't matter to my current problem, I gave up on that and used the Book Camp Assistant to remove the Windows partition and return to a single Mac OS partition.
Since then, if I reboot the machine and just let it reboot on its own, it will stop at a black screen that says "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have to power off the machine to reboot from this point.
However, if I reboot the machine and hold the Option key to get the Startup Manager, my hard drive will be shown which I can then select and it will boot Mac OS like normal. After that it will run like a champ.
Any idea how to fix this short of a fresh install?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Glad to help.

Wondering if I can get the attention of some of the mods -
My iPhone, when docked and playing music, reboots on its own. I touch nothing, it is not connected to anything but my desktop speaker system and it is working itself through the playlists.
Odd behavior that I have not seen when it isn't docked.
Thoughts are welcome.Try a powerdown. If that doesn't work. Try a reset. If that doesn't work, try a restore. One of those should take care of it.

My Mac reboots on its own a few times a day. I have checked all the permitions and have checked the disk. No issues found. After the reboot this is the report I send:

Your graphic card is damaged. This could be related to extensions, but the kernel panic gives you the message that your graphic card has failed.
You can only make a backup of your files with Time Machine or Disk Utility's Restore feature, and take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller. Your computer has got the graphic card soldered into the logic board, so this will be a very expensive repair -
Why does my mac reboot on its own?
Why does my mac reboot on its own?
Oh den.thed... I saw your post this morning and I was so excited.... ran to the Mac and got to Energy Saver, and... the checkbox is already unchecked.
Long story, I'll make it short. Just got the Mac back after having the HDD replaced. (It stopped working after less than 500 hours.) This rebooting thing has been happening ever since I got the computer in 2010, and I was hoping it would coincidentally stop happening after having this crashed HDD replaced last week. No such luck. Still doing it, even after getting the computer back from Apple. Two of my kids have macbooks, have used the cr*p out of them, and have had very few problems (nothing big). I bought this Mac, to replace a dead Dell desktop that got very little use, and so far I am not sure I did the right thing. Really wish I could get this "automatic" rebooting thing fixed. (Reboots with no notice, while doing normal tasks - internet, word docs, etc.) Thanks again for your help. Let me know if I should try anything else. -
Ultra not booting, reboots on its own, display - possible solution for all.
I had a problem for a few days where my Ultra 24 would stop (the screen would freeze for a sec), the fan would make a lot of noise and the PC would reboot on its owns. Sometimes it would be on a loop or not start up at all.
I perused through these boards and saw other people with similar issues and solutions. (Mine was to take out MB battery and reset bios).
This fixed the problem but it eventually came back at least once a week.
Anyways after calling Sun and spending a lot of time on the phone I determined that this is related to the graphic card. You'll notice that the nvidia driver these workstations come with are really outdated drivers (mine was the quadro nvs 290).
After I updated the driver (05/08) the problem has gone away and graphics perform MUCH better.
I am running running Solaris 10 and XP.
Hope this helps some of you out.

Edited by: Rhuobhe on Jun 24, 2008 1:24 AMWe have a T-Mobile corporate account with several of these 8120's. We have had them since mid-July and now 3 out of 10 of them are having the reboot issue as well. We, however, do not have or use any memory cards in them, so I don't think that is the problem either. We've reinstalled the software (they had the same version as the newest already installed) as tech support has suggested, and still the problem happens. It happens sometimes when the phone is idle, but most of the time they reboot during a conversation. This is quite annoying as they are business phones and it takes 3-5 minutes for the phone to complete the reboot process. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Just bought this ipad in June 2013 and then all of a sudden about two weeks ago, I discovered the machine reboots on its own and would only be active for less than 2 minutes. I check the auto-lock assigned minutes and it was set on 15 minutes even at this, it will still go off after less than 2 minutes. I then checked on some of the suggestions on the net for a similar problem and resolved to pressing and holding the sleep/wake button simultaneously with the Home button to force a reboot. Even at this no change. Then I tried connecting the machine to a PC logging on to the itunes to do a backup and restore but the machine will not stay long enough to complete the procedure before rebooting on its own. Any help?

My iPad mini keeps on rebooting on its own, any idea why?
my iPad mini started rebooting on its own about a few days ago.
it keeps on doing this after I use it for a little bit.
sometimes it is a few minutes, other times it may be after a while.
sometimes it happens when I just open the cover .Checked and I bought it last October, so it is under warranty.
Chatted with Apple support and they asked me to restore to factory defaults.
Spent 40 minutes restore it to factory defaults and it still does it.
They made me an appointment for store tomorrow and if they can confirm it, they will most likely replace the unit.
I am glad it is under warranty, but it was very close to one year.
Hopefully this does not happen again in another year.
It seems to happen a lot when i use the cover.
So....is this a reoccuring problem with the magnetic cover switch??? -
Rebooting on its own, return it?
Hello all, My Satellite Pro A200-EZ2204X works fine for a while, but will then just reboot on its own. I have reinstalled the OS, drivers, and software twice but it keeps happening after a while. I don't think it is my software because it is all "name brand" stuff from big companies. This is still new, should I return it?
Most likely the software or hardware you installed caused the problem. Getting it replaced with another then loading the same software and hardware/drivers on it likey will cause the same problem. So better to try to figure out what the real cause is. Try doing another recovery process but don't install your hardware or software, instead test it until you are sure it is working fine. Then install one new thing at a time and test after each step. When you find the problem, call the manufacturer of that problem, or do a google search for the problem and the product name as it is likely others have had the same problem.

My Droid X2 keeps spontataniously rebooting.
As you might imagine, this is a bit annoying. it MIGHT be because of the Amazon cloud player, but it rebooted this AM when I tried to fire up the camera, and it's done that afew times before, also when I tried to open the gallery application.
It rebooted any number of times yesterday but it was running very hot as it was downloading files over the 3g.
Is anybody else having this problem?
--woodyIt really sounds like you have a rogue 3rd party APP causing your problems. Are there any common APPs that you & your son installed? Can you put your finger on roughly when the issue started - or has this been going on since day 1 with the phone? When you say it happens "a lot" - and assuming by that you mean at least several times a day - I would boot into SAFE MODE and run for an extended period of time, just to see if the problem goes away. if it does NOT reboot on its own, you probably have a 3rd party APP causing your grief. Other options? Just make a list of your APPs and then start Uninstalling them from last-installed date - maybe groups of 5 at a time, then test for a while. A Factory Reset - but turn OFF the automatic reinstall of your Apps.
Let us know if you can't find the procedure to do either of those & we'll direct you to the instructions. (Try SEARCH bar just above).
Oh, and welcome ... good luck.

Check your mouse configuration, if you have a Mighty Mouse, one configuration is to have the side buttons launch Dashboard (widgets) or click the scroll wheel for example.
