Macbook shuts down automatically when playing flash

Macbook with OSX 10.8.3 shuts down automatically when playing flash

Hi
Have you solve your problem yet?  Mine was the same - it's Dockables "fault"
Were you able to boot into Safe Mode, by pressing and holding Shift key at Start up, I think you need to press and hold a while, till you see a progress bar below the Apple logo.
Then you can quickly go and delete all the Dockables.
If you found another way to boot up, also delete Dockables immediately.
Cheers

    Sorry, there is no feature for that built into Firefox, and I haven't seen an add-on to add that feature to Firefox.

  • Shut down automatically when downloads complete/finished

    Hi all,
    Does anyone know of a way to shut down automatically when downloads complete/finished (other than estimating how long they will be and modifying the energy saver schedule).
    Thanks, C.

    Guess not, huh.
    Seems like such an obvious feature?

    This is most often due to faulty battery. Apple Genius can perform a quick several minute battery diagnostic test. Make Genius Reservation.

  • TS3899 iPhone 5s Mail app shut down automatically when try to send email

    I just set up new iPhone 5s two days ago from iPhone 5.
    Everything works fine except Mail app.
    Due to Mail app, I had to set up new configuation instead of back up from old iPhone 5.
    Mail app works fine 1 day, but after the day after, the mail app shut down automatically when try to send email.
    Just one specific email account has problem. It worked fine on iPhone 5. Same setting on Pop and SMTP. Exactly same~~
    - I did try to reset iPhone 5s pressing home button and sleep button for 10 second. It did not work
    - I did try to reset all information and install iPhone 5s and the problem still exists.
    - I did try to delete specific email account and re-make it, but it did not work
    Funny thing is that if Lanuague is English, then sending email is working. Absolutely no problem.
    However, if Language setting is Korean, then Mail App shut down automatically.
    I'm heavy email maker and if it is very annoying.
    Does anyone have same issue like this?
    I believed it is iOS7 bug?
    Can anyone help me on this???

    Am having similar problems with a new iPad Air. It will recieve email in Mail as directd from my domain email account. It will not send, advising server does not recognise account. I have checked and re checked settings.
    My computer and old iPad work perfectly. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
    By the way sending email directly from the domain email account works perfectly but I prefer using Mail.

  • Mac Shutting down automatically when not in use for awhile

    Please excuse my non techinical explanation of this problem !
    Model: Macbook Pro5,1
    OSX 10.5.7
    2.4 GHZ intel core 2 duo
    2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3
    Im first time mac owner and have very little technical ability ... !
    Problem:
    Laptop shuts down automatically if idle for about ten minutes ... this time can vary.
    Prior to this happening it makes alarming noises which appear to come from the on/off button area. Initially I thought it was a CD banging ... but its not that.
    This is the extent of my diagnostics at this stage! I have limited warranty on (based in Ireland) was planning on getting extended apple care warranty only last week ... not sure should i still get the extended warranty now I know this problem exists, cant find apple service centre in Dublin and not sure if I would be covered under limited warranty.
    Any advice would be appreciated
    thanks

    Hi Bibii and welcome to Discussions,
    first of, you have posted in the Mac Pro section not the MacBook Pro section here http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=190
    Anyway, is this really a shutdown or is it just sleeping ?
    If sleeping check the Energy Savings settings in the System Preferences for when your MBP should go to sleep when inactive.
    Regards

  • MacBook shuts down unexpectedly when the MagSafe is touched or removed

    Hi, I got my new MacBook during November of 2009 but two weeks ago it started shutting down by itself once I touch the magsafe of the macbook or remove the magsafe. All it needs is a simple touch and it shuts down. When it does shut down, the light indicator doesn't come on anymore. I have to keep removing the magsafe, and plugging it back in like 20 times until it starts charging again. So now I just let it fully charge every time I use it since any sudden movement will cause it to shut down. I will be making an appointment next week at the apple store because I had no time to go these past 2 weeks. I never dropped it and take good care of it. I am just wondering what might be the cause of this? I hope they do not take weeks to fix the mac since I have a lot of homework to do... Thanks!

    Anything is possible, but a firmware issue is not very probable.
    Did Apple troubleshoot and repair your Mac? It's not the iBook as listed in your profile is it?
    If Apple recently did the repairs and the problem persist then you should contact them, as they are obligated to fix it.
    Did they for sure rule out the Magsafe adapter?
    Which board did they replace? The logic board or just the DC board? Or both?

  • Macbook shuts down unexpectedly when battery reaches 20% and unplugged

    I noticed this behavior after installing the Bonjour Update 2010-001 (version 1.0) and the Remote desktop client update (version 3.3.2) last night. Upon reaching 20% of battery capacity, the macbook shuts down, and will not restart until it is plugged in. There is no warning, it just turns off.
    Does anyone know what's going on?

    Wow! I recently had this same EXACT problem and called Apple Care about it last week and said that they cannot do anything about it since my battery cycle is too high ( only 315) ! MacBook is the same model as yours. I finally brought mine in today at a local genius bar (Otay Ranch) and they replaced the battery even though My Mac's just a little over a month its 1 year warranty. I will now calibrate this battery and see if the same problem persists. When I called about this problem, the Apple Care rep says that he has never seen this problem before but now I just saw this and glad that I wasn't the only one, maybe its a faulty design on the first generation Unibody with removable batteries (Late 2008)

  • Imac safari browser shuts down automatically when using Flashplayer. Any fix ?

    safari shuts down automatically in combo with FlashPlayer.  Any fix ?

    You may have a Safari add on installed that's not compatible with Flash. A crash report may reveal what's going on...
    If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.
    Make sure and include the "binary images" section.
    BEFORE you post a crash report, reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
    Retart your Mac, try Safari. If it still crashes, then post the report in your reply.

  • My macbook pro shuts down when I turn it on, its fully charged but shuts down automatically when I turn it on, how do I solve this?

    I have the older 2008 version of the Macbook Pro and since Friday when I closed it and opend it again the screen wouldn't come back on and I'd have to press down the power button and restart the machine again completely. Then when I turned it on it would sound like its powering up but after three seconds it would make the bleeping sound and shut down again, its fully charged and I have taken the battery out and put it back in but nothing is changing, is there a way to solve this problem?

    Check this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 and this one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
    If it sounds like a RAM issue it could be one of the RAM chips has failed. You could try removing the RAM one at a time and see if it starts with one still installed.

  • My iphone 4s shuts down automatically when it's battery percentage is fine.

    my iphone 4s automatically shuts down when it has about 50% or more battery life left. when i try to turn it back on it pops up with the low battery symbol. about 5 minutes later i can turn it back on again and the battery will be fine. each time this has happened i have been outside. i have drained the battery and then charged it and i have reset the factory settings. How do i stop this from happening? and do i need to buy a replacement?

    It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else.  If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
    If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If  you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

  • Macbook shuts down randomly when ichatting

    I've had my white macbook for about 5 months. I recently moved to Europe to study abroad and the macbook has started giving me trouble.
    Specifically, my computer shuts down without warning when I'm using video chat on ichat or watching streaming video for more than 20 or 30 minutes. I can turn it back on and restart the chat, but it shuts down again a couple of minutes later. This has happened both with the power plugged in and going off the battery alone. I've never had it shut down like this when I'm just using the internet or the word processor or something (only ichat and watching streaming video).
    Any ideas? I'd really appreciate the help!

  • MacBook shuts down spontaneously when on battery power

    My 2.0GHz MacBook has started shutting down spontaneously after half an hour or so of waking from sleep. After it shuts down, when I try to reboot it it shuts down straight away after the boot sound.
    Plugging the power cable in seems to allow me to boot, but it has also shut down randomly a couple of times whilst plugged in.
    Is this enough of a problem to get an entire machine replacement? I also have the stain issue (early signs of unremovable stains after only two weeks with the laptop), the moo issue, casing around the screen that is loose and at least ten keys that sit on the keyboard at an angle with one that was broken from the day I opened it (the "." key no less).
    Will I be able to get a replacement unit if I go to an Apple Store genius bar? I'm thinking either London, or Bluewater. I only ask because I have a conference that I need to report from in the next couple of weeks and can't afford to:
    a) wait for repairs if I send it off to Apple
    b) trust Apple to fix all the issues I have with the machine.
    I want a complete replacement, that's the only way I have a guarantee this problem won't come back in the middle of an interview recording.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Conrad

    What do you mean with "shutdown"? If it powers off all of a sudden, without kernel panics or going through the OS shutdown procedure, then it must be somehow related to the hardware.
    I had a similar behaviour (random power offs and inability to restart my MB for a while) after installing two new RAM modules. I noticed that putting back the original modules solved it so I inserted the new modules paying more care and eventually everything started working properly.
    Good luck...

  • PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) shuts down automatically when starting up.

    I use a PowerMac G4 (Mirror door drive) 1.25 Ghz processor with1.25 GB ram, 80GB HDD. OS 10.2.7
    Recently I could not start the machine as it automaticallyshuts down during starting when the log in dialog box appears. It also creates excessivesounds (hopefully from the processor fan) during starting up.
    What is the possible cause for it? Upgrading the OS (10.5.8) could solve it? Or suggestions from exparts like you? Plz Help.

    Thanks BDAqua. Sorry, no actionsworked. I think, the possible cause might be, the processor heats up more andthe fan start rotate more to cool down the processors and it makes the sound.But processor becomes hotter and the CPU automatically shuts down.
    Apple service center in my townseparated, cleaned and reinstalled the processor & motherboard from thecase but NO IMPROVEMENT. They are trying to suggest (with confusion) changingthe processor. Do the diagnosis going right path? They do not have any G4 1.25 GHzprocessor, where will I get it?  Anysuggestions from the experts of this forum?
