Macbook turns off randomly *please help*
I have seen this problem allot on the forums, but this has just been happening recently to me. Can some one help me pleas? I do not know what it means below:

Full charge capacity (mAh): 3015
Cycle count: 221
Condition: Check Battery
What does it mean when it says "check battery?". Do I need a new battery?
Your full charge capacity is about 75% of what it started as, and "Check Battery" suggests the system software sees a problem with your battery. You should start by resetting your SMC:

But it looks as though your battery is about done. Given that it has so few cycles, you should call AppleCare if you are still under warranty, and they may replace it at no charge. If you are out of warranty, you will have to buy your own battery.

My macbook turns off randomly but not completely because when I tap the touchpad it goes to the password screen and I am back to it in seconds. It's really annoying. HELP!!!
1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

Hi kingminjing,
Have you checked your Control Panel to make sure you don't have the flashlight turned on?
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and make sure the flashlight icon (bottom left-hand corner) is not white. If it is, tap on it to turn it off.
Cheers,

My Mac Mini starts to boot up then after a few minutes turns off. Please help.
My Mac Mini starts to boot up then after a few minutes turns off. Please help.
seen this happen many times, usually always due to corrupt memory.......could be a power module in the Mini, but unlikely. hold down command R on startup, see if you can get into safe mode or ANY SCREEN ...If under warr. call mac for a service check, ....BUT if you have spare memory around that is compatable, try that first, process of elimination diagnostics.

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?
You might be right about the reheating. Get iStat Pro https://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html

I tried resisting my phone it didnt work. Please help? This is the first time it has ever happens and has been doing it for a week. The sound will only play without headphones or speakers is when I'm listening to my ringtone. And my phone won't turn off. It turns off then just turns back on.
There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

Ipod nano firewire error and will not turn off! PLEASE help
I am having the exact same problem as I see may of you unfortunate Apple users are. I am receiving the error message about firewires and I have never used one. The nano will not turn off and I have to let the battery run out. The play/pause function works perfectly fine, but not to turn off the nano. The sleep function does not do anything either. I am so disappointed with Apple because they would not help me on the phonbe since it is well past my first 90 days of ownership. I may have gotten a single drop of water on it, but that was about 2 weeks ago, and still having the same problems. I don't know what to do, but I see that Apple has gotten mighty rich off of their JUNK products! Anyone out there, help me please!
Do a reset. You will not lose any data: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If this does not help resore from a backup. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Lastly try restoring to factory settings.
If none of this works, it's probably a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your Apple store. You are under warranty and they will fix or replace it on the spot. -

Hey Guys,
I just recently finished building a new PC. Well its not complete yet I used some parts from my Older Dell which I plan on Changing in the near future. My problem is that I got everything set up and the System Runs GREAT! its just when I go to shut down the monitor and peripherals turn off but the case fans and cpu cooler keep on running. Am i missing a driver or is there something in the Bios that I am missing? please help!

Are you pushing the power button on the case or shutting down via Windows? It may be going into S1 standby.

Well I get the same Result weather I push the power button or shut down in Vista it turns the screen and keyboard off ( i have g15 keyboard with lcd display) and the case fans still run.
The question is, what your case power-button and the Vista Shutdown function are configured to do.
Make sure the Vista-shutdown-function is really configured to shut down/turn off your computer and not just to suspend it to S1 standby state.
Also, enter BIOS Setup and check that the option "Power Button Function" is really set to "On/Off" and not to "Suspend".
If both settings are configured correctly already, try to set ACPI Standby State to S3 in BIOS and see if the FANs keep running, when you try to turn off your system.
Post your results here.
Also, What BIOS Version are you using? -
Ipod touch 36gb 4g keeps turning off. Please Help!!!
A few days ago, my ipod started turning off by itself. Now, I can't get it to turn on at all.I pluged it into Itunes, and it says it needs to restore my ipod. The only problem is, it will delete everything. I had my ipod backed up a while ago, but I am afraid some of my pictures and new apps will be deleted forever. It won't let me back it up or do anything to it except restore it. Also, it keeps saying there isn't enough storage in icloud. PLEASE HELP!!!
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Macbook won't stay turned off. Please Help
so i spilled some water on my keyboard and a few of the keys are no longer working however one of the keys is acting like its held down thus keeping my macbook powered up. so every time i shut down it just powers right back up. My question is will an external keyboard cancel out the built-in keyboard and is there a way to make my macbook only power up by pressing the power button at the top right to temporarily fix my problem until i can get it fixed or buy an external keyboard. Any help is good help at this point.
Thanks
JeffI've had this same problem off and on for months. It is a major pain since the battery drains quickly win the phone won't stay in the standby or off modes.
I went into the genius bar once but it stopped having the problem about an hour before my appointment.
Usually when this occurs I just dock the phone and hope for the best. Sometimes it fixes itself when attached to the doc and sometimes a hard reset works, but not always. Of course, when I'm out and about I'm screwed since the phone drains quickly.
I am currently experiencing the same problem so I will try a restore at home.
I want this addressed before my warranty is up!
