Macbook shutting down when not touching any keys

Help! I am having an issue on an old MacBook (white, not aluminum). The computer shuts down if I don't keep touching the mouse/trackpad or press keys. If updater is running, movies are playing, anything at all, it doesn't matter, the computer shuts down unless keys are being pressed or the trackpad is being twiddled.
Sometimes I get the dialog window asking "Do I really want to shutdown?" with the options to shutdown, restart, etc. Even if this pops up, the computer may still shut itself down.
This happens within the minute of not touching the inputs, usually within ten seconds.
Things I have done that didn't help:
Resetting the SMC
Zeroed drive and reinstalled OS
Updated OS
Booted from other OS versions
Booted from externals and DVDs
Zapped PRAM
Ran Fsck -f
Ran virus scans
Ran Disk utilities and repaired permissions
Ran Hardware test, no problems found
None of the above found anything (some permissions fixed, but didn't help)
PLEASE HELP!!!

MacBook shuts down when not connected to power supply

Hey everyone, I'm making this topic for an issue that has gotten me edgy lately.
My MacBook (not new) has a habit on shutting down on me instantly for some reason when the MacBook is not plugged into charge. Here is the strange thing though, if I unplug the charger plug and set it still on my desk, I have more of a chance of the laptop not failing on me, but when I carry the MacBook around, it has a 90% (guestimate) chance of shutting down on me.
Even after having the laptop plugged in for 12 hours, the laptop just goes into suspend mode.
I have to wait a couple of seconds before I can turn it back on (by pressing the power button, not any key).
Also, when I shut down more programs at certain times when not plugged in, and having the screen brightness low, the Mac does not shut down so fast.
Any advice?!
Thanks

Could be you battery. Mine shuts down when showing 40% charge left and I have to plug it into the power supply to fix it. I found out it was the battery by downloading coconut battery. It's an application that allows you to check the status of your battery (Link at bottom). I suggest you get that and when your macbook shuts down again, plug it into the mains, start it up and run coconut battery. If it shows your nearly out of battery power then that's your problem.
I was showing 40% left when it shut down. Did the above and I had no power left. It happens when the battery is old about 250-400 loadcycles
Hope this helps.

IPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?

iPhone is 17 month old and shutting down when not connected to the mac any this I can do about it?
should I bring it to apple ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
Replacing or even suggesting replacing hardware without doing basic troubleshooting first is not very smart.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve, take it to Apple for evaluation. There is no obligation to pay for anything, the evaluation is free.

Shuts down when not plugged in

My new (got it in July) MacBook shuts down when it's not plugged in. I usually turn it on and it will last around 2-3 minutes before shutting off completely, then if I try to turn it on it will make the turning on sound and immediately shut down. If I plug it in it will stay on. I looked at downloading OS X 10.4.8 in order to download the suggested firmwire to help with this issue, but will that cause me to lose all of my photos and everything else stored on my computer? Could there be any other solution to my malfunction?
Thanks for your help!!

Hi -
When it's plugged in ...does your battery show a charge? Also, if you press the little button on your battery (on the bottom of the macbook) a series of green led's should tell you if you have a charge. just asking this because your macbook may not stay on if your battery is not charging/dead.
Yes, you should also update you system and firmware as well.

Qosmio F10 shut down when I touch it

Hi everybody
Since yesterday, I've a problem with my F10.
It quite paranormal, so i give you the facts.
- the computer shut down when I touch it (when I close the screen, or touch it at bottom left)
- after that, the alimentation light flicks with this scheme:
1 long (blank) 6 shorts (Blank) and 1 long
- to shut up again, I must remove the battery and the alimentation, wait a little, and it can shut up again.
I've installed no updates, no software, and it looks like to be motherboard problem...
Naturally, it is not under warranty anymore...
So if you have answers !!
Thank's
Eric

I can't logon with Eric4, but it doesn't matter.
So, ok, I phoned to Toshiba Fr who saied me it was an electrical problem, and i should bring the computer to us.
So, I decided to take a screewdriver, and I opened the computer. I've used a dry spray, and I closed the box.
So, there's no problem anymore. I don't know the word in English, but I think it was a small metal dust on the motherboard.
Thank you for your help (but I must particulary thank my screewdriver).
Eric

Why does my macbook shut down when I am watching a film using airplay on apple TV?

Imac shuts down when not in use

I purchased my 21.5" imac July 9, 2011 with Snow Leopard. No problems for 1 month. Then about August 12th or so, my imac started to mysteriously "shut down" when not in use. I'll be working on it, then get up to go pour myself a cup of coffee or something...then I come back to my computer that has now shut off. It is NOT asleep...it is OFF. So I turn it back on and it is fine. This has happened a few times now within a week. Anyone else have this problem?
By the way, I am now running Lyon, as of August 18th. When the imac shut down, I was usually viewing photos or on the web.
thanks!

First thing I would try is to reset the SMC, it can help with power related problems. Shut down the Mac and unplug everything including the power. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Plug in the computer but be careful not to press the power button as you are plugging it in. Wait a few seconds and turn it on. Hopefully it won't happen again. There is always Apple Support. Don't let the problem persist until your free phone tech support has expired (3 months). I would also recommend using the iMac with an UPS, and at the very least, a high quality surge protector.
If you have MS Word or a similar word processor you could try enabling the autosave feature and set it to 1 minute intervals. Keep a document open and if you come back to the computer and it has shut down, you can look at the last time the document was updated and know what time the comptuer turned itself off. It could be useful in diagnosing the problem.

Macbook shuts down when connected to network

My Macbook Pro continues to shut down and restart itself - ONLY when connected to a new network wirelessly. It works fine at our office, but when I take it home or to another network, it starts the shut down/restart

Hi Residae,
I understand you are having issues when connecting your iPod to iTunes. Lets see if the iPod Troubleshooting Assistant resolves this:
iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
Reset
To reset your iPod:
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
If the above does not help, please try the remaining 4 steps.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does my macbook shut down when the lid is closed?

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (mid-2012) running 10.9.1
Last week out of the blue, the Macbook started shutting down whenever I close the lid.
When I open the lid, the logon screen appears (as if it's been asleep as normal) but almost immediately reboots itself.
Has anyone else got the same issue? Any idea how to resolve?
Thanks

If after you open the lid you do get the login screen, almost immediately, but then it restarts your system is not shutting down when you close the lid. It is going into a sleep state but then crashes when trying to come out of that sleep state. There are quite a few posts on this problem and it seems to be caused by the system going into the Deep Sleep state also known as the hibernate mode. That is where the contents of the RAM is written to the hard drive and the system suspends supplying power to the RAM chips so the system uses even less power then in regular sleep mode.
That is only supposed to happen after the system has been in the regular sleep mode for an extended period of time.
To check the state of the huiberbnate mode open terminal and type in, or copy and paste, this command.
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
To check the state of all power management settings use the command.
pmset -g

When not touching any sound buttons, it goes all the way up to full on its own? please help!?

My iPhone is reasonably new. When just holding the phone (Not touching any buttons) It will turn the volume up all the way on its own and the "ringer" picture will not go away until I hold down the ( - ) button. about 5 seconds later it will re-appear and the ringer will be turned up all the way again. Someone please help! I'm going crazy!

- Try directly downloading/installing it on the iPod. As long as yu are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased it you will not be charged again.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Macbook shuts down when plugged

I have my macbook for 2 years, and last month it started to behave in a weird way.
First when I let the battery drain out it shuts down when the battery reaches around 2-3%, it doesn't go into deep sleep. I've checked the battery capacity and it's around 2852mAh, and the check battery sign just started to pop. I'll probably have to buy a new battery. (That doesn't bother me much, because I use it mainly plugged on power.)
But last week it has gotten worse, now my macbook started to shut down when it's plugged. It takes a minute so I can reboot it (not even the battery indicator works for a while), and the charger stops working right after it's off. I'm using a new 85w charger (the old one got ripped off), because they don't sell the 65w here in Brazil. Needless to say I've tried do reset the SMC, PRAM, NVRAM.
Ps: On january I upgraded my RAM with some used module I got from buddy of mine.
Pps: You should know that there's no apple store in Brazil. Don't tell me to ask the genius :P

I took my macbook to a apple technical support provider, and they're replacing my charger. I wonder if the faulty charger could have damaged my battery, the check battery sign first appeared after the shutdowns caused by the charger.

Macbook shuts down when booting

Dear friends I have lot's of problems with my Macbook late 2009 when trying to boot.
Few days ago I tried to verify my disc in Disc Utility and I had this message log:
Invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
As soon as I did this my Macbook freezed and I couldn't do anything except trying to rebooting it.
From that moment when I try to reboot I have this kind of problem here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3148?viewlocale=en_US
but when it tries to load my Macbook shuts down by it self.
I tried to repair the disk booting from the MacOS disk and then used utility disc to repair it but an error message appeared saying that it was impossibile.
I don't know what to do, I need to get my files back because I don't have back ups. What can I do?
Please help me.

not much.
if disk utility can not repair the disk, one option is to completely erase and install. but your hard drive may be physically damaged in which case you've to get a new one. thinking of a backup after the worst case scenario happened is regretfully a bit late.
i can think of various ways for trying to retrieve your data from the disk, but for that you'll need another hdd drive and an external usb casing.
first way is to clone a bootable system from another mac to an external usb drive, start up your book from that external drive and then try to access it's internal drive via finder or third party data retrieval software. then reformating the internal disk and doing a fresh install, hoping that the damage was not physical.
second way is to install a new HDD in the book, install os x and then putting the old one into an external usb casing, so that you can later try to access it from the fresh installed book.

MacBook shuts down when closed

It's connected to power and I don't understand why it keeps shutting down when I close the computer. I just want it to sleep. Is there some sort of setting I need to adjust? I've looked everywhere.
TIA

I am having a similar problem, I have looked for settings that could be adjusted. I did not changed any settings previous to the problem starting. When I open the lid the keyboard is lit but the computer does not respond to mouse clicks or typing, the sleep light is off. I have to hold the on/off button until the keyboard goes out then turn the computer back on.

Macbook shuts down when low battery instead of going to sleep

Hi
Well basically my laptop shuts itself down instead of going to sleep when my battery gets low. I also do not get the low battery message. My macbook will usually shut down when it gets to approximately 6% of battery life. What should I do?
Thanks
Sarah.

Have you done the battery update? You might also try to reset the SMC and/or PRAM.
If it doesn't work you may need a new battery. The original core duo batteries have had an extra year added to their warranty so even if your computer is not covered the battery is. My MacBook was doing the same thing except at 28%. Apple replaced my battery and it works fine now.
If you call Apple be polite but firm some people have had trouble from some of the reps. Mine went smoothly I had a new battery in 3 days.

MacBook shuts down when sleep, asks to shut down, screensaver changes

Hello. My MacBook is having all sorts of problems and they just started occuring recently.
1. It shuts down when it's 'sleeping'. When I open it, I have to press the button to turn it back on. Sometimes it wouldn't reboot and the log in page would pop up, but rarely.
2. While I'm using my macbook, a window would ask me if I want to 'shut down, restart, sleep, cancel'. Or something like that. It would do this every few minutes.
3. I noticed that my screensaver would go back to Flurry/default.
Could this be a battery issue? I noticed that it says 'replace soon'. I will definitely go to a genius bar, but I'm too busy right now with school I don't know when I can make a trip to the nearest Apple store.

You can get a new battery fairly cheap on eBay if you have the Early 2008 MacBook with the easily removable battery.
