Qosmio X870 shut down all of a sudden

My Qosmio X870 shut itself down all of a sudden and wouldnt turn on or charge for about an hour, what does this mean?

I think it was a high temperature issue.
Mostly the notebooks shut down automatically to prevent the hardware from damage.
If the cooling grilles are full of dust or debris, its advisable to remove this using compressed air spray.

MacBook Pro Shuts down all of a sudden... and How to use A

Hey,
My MacBook Pro recently has been shutting down for no apparent reason... This is really annoying as you can probably guess!!! Especially when you are a student writing a 4000 Word Essay!!!!
Apparently you can use activity monitor to see why it has shut down, and can you recommend something i can do to stop it shutting down
Thanks :]

Mmm,
The Globe is usually associated with trying to do a "Network Boot"!
This may suggest that there may be a problem with your hard drive. Try running Disk Utility to check the drive and see whether , when the Hard Drive itself is selected, S.M.A.R.T. Status is shown as "verified".

1st Generation iMac G5 shuts off all of a sudden

My iMac G5 keeps shutting off all of a sudden. Also when I turn it on it shuts off 2 out of 3 times in about 5 secs. anyone have any ideas on whether this is a hardware or a software problem?
I had the power supply replaced through the warranty agreement about 2 yrs ago.

I too have a rev a imac and I too had problems a year ago, with kernel panics and sudden shutdowns. I took it for repair after noticing capacitors bulging and leaking, just to the right of the power socket. The bad capacitors had "x" on the bottom. I was told the mid plane had been replaced and everything seemed to be ok.
Guess what?
3 days ago, it started happening again.
Just now I had a look in the back, and surprise, surprise, there are bulging and leaking capacitors, this time to the left of the power socket. Again the leaking capacitors are ones with "x" on the bottom. All the other capacitors have a "y" on the bottom.
I suggest you take the back off your imac and visually inspect the capacitors.
i am very very annoyed at this situation.
The las fault occured when my imac was 11.5 months old, so I panicked and paid for Applecare. Then I found out that the warranty had been extended on all rev a imacs. Now my imac is one month short of 3 years old, and again this is happenign just before my apple care runs out.
This does not give me any faith in the future of my imac.

Trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper

trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper ad - after I install what I thought was an update since I already had MacKeeper, it would not allow me to continue without buying the new one. Make a long story short I switch to Firefox and deleted as much as I could of Safari (files, preferences etc) Now I'm at OS Yosemite X 10.10.2 and would like to get Safari up and running again - I've searched for Adware in applications etc but could not find it. Found what to do from the community, but before I go that route...Do I have to know where or if I actually have this spyware?    And if I were to reinstall Maveric - would my files and such be undisturbed? so that only Safari would be replaced?    I"M LOST .... (as if you couldn't tell)
I've been working with Mac for 30 years or more and although I'm hands on taught the only thing I lack is the newer "buzz words" so if you can help me out - please make it simple ?? thanks

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

When shutting down all devices at days end is it advisable to pull the power plug daily on the Time Capsule.

When shutting down all devices at days end is it advisable to pull the power plug daily on the Time Capsule.

It is up to you to decide.
My opinion would be that if Apple wanted you to power down the Time Capsule on a regular basis, they would have included an "Off" switch, or a means to power off the Time Capsule from your computer.

HT4993 My iPhone 5 keeps trying to download something. The wheel by the wifi symbol is continually spinning. What can I do to stop it? I have shut down all apps.

The wheel that shows your downloading something on my iPhone 5 will not stop spinning. What can I do to stop it? I have shut down all apps, restarted my phone as well I have pushed the power button & home button at the same time. Still no luck.

If restart and reset don't solve this problem then something must be being started when your iPhone starts up that cannot complete.
You might consider restoring your iPhone to Factory via iTunes.

Safari still shuts down all internet...

Safari still shuts down all internet access when browsing abcnews.com and cbsnews.com at random times. Mail stops connecting, safari just hangs... Good thing that turning off Airport then back on again trick works everytime. So if anyone is getting this scenario, just quit all internet related apps and quit Airport and turn it back on, it should work again.

I would suggest you to upgrade/reflash the firmware of the router.Reset the router for 45 seconds and reconfigure it from the scratch.Download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads,enter the model no in the search box and choose the correct version number...download the firmware and save it on the desktop.Login into the linksys setup page and click on Administration tab to upgrade the firmware.

IPhone4 shuts down all by itself

My iPhone 4 shuts down all by itself , even though battery is more than 50% ? How to get this fix this ? I have tried resetting this phone, but still did not work.

Hey Anantharam!
I have an article here for you that can walk you through some troubleshooting steps for this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically, this section will be the most relevant for your question:
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

Programme closes down all of a sudden

hi
since i work on FCP HD it often occurs that the programme closes down all of a sudden. (this never happend when i was working with FCP 3)
What can be the reason for this?
g4 533mhz dual Mac OS X (10.3.5)

MAny many things can cause this. Most likey are damaged preferences, so it would be wise to download FCP rescue and run it...it does it automatically for you.
And while you are at it, run the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions. Always wise to do when stuff like this happens.

G5 shuts down all the time

My G5 2,5Ghz shuts down after one minute after starting the computer
and loading a program, Logic Pro 8 or Final Cut Pro 6, then it starts automatically again and loads up the desktop. All my unsaved work is gone. This happens many times until I manually shut the G5 down and wait or unplug the current for a while. It is impossible to get any work done, and I have a time limit. All the fans are working and I have not detected any coolant leakage. I had this problem even before I installed Logic and Final Cut. Some days the G5 is working without problems for a couple of hours.
Does anybody recognize this problem?

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
When the shutdown occurs, how does it shut down? Suddenly, just going black, then proceeding through a restart?
It may be an issue with power management, which could be solved by resetting the PMU or SMU, depending on which G5 it is that you have. Yours being a Quad will have a SMU:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1436
If that does not solve the issue, there may be a hint in Console/Logs/System Logs.
Look for entries preceeding the shutdown.
It may be easier to recognize the startup and work backwards. Look for "com.apple.SystemStarter" to indicate where the startup begins, noting any error prior to.
You will see something like the following, as well, near the startup point:
Oct 31 19:23:59 localhost kernel[0]: Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993
Oct 31 19:23:59 localhost kernel[0]: The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
Another place to look for a clue is to look in the System Profiler/Hardware/Diagnostics.
Additionally, installing a fresh PRAM battery (the small battery located on the logic board) is probably a good idea.
There may be other help within this article:

IPhone 4s looks shut down all the time.especially when the 3g is on.in the forums its said to push the use button and the power button at the same time.the people calling me cannot reach at my phone.what should i do ?

my phone looks like offline all the time.its all about me to notice that its offline.then i have to push the main button and the power button together to open it.then the apple sign comes on the screen and the phone turns online.but i cannot receive the information of who called me at the time that my iphone 4s turned offline by itself.i cannot receive messages at all.what can i do now ? i sent the phone to the service and they just told me that they installed the current version.but i guess nothing happened.its doing the same thing again.i cannot use my iphone.
From Turkiye.

I've tried all those.But nothing works.The phone seems to be shut down.But it is not.When i get it out of my pocket, for example to call someone, i touch to main button but nothing happens.I solve it by pushing the power button and the main button together just for a couple of seconds, as its said so in the forums.
also, people told me that they were calling me, my phone was ringing but i didnt answer?...i checked it for millions of times, it seems to be shut down, but its normally not.then i push the buttons together and the apple sign comes on the screen.it searches for the network.and it works.
but i do not see any calls, texts anything.but for the others, they say my phone seems to be workin.
I thought it was 'cause of the 3G is switched on but when I turn 3G off, it does the same thing.it seems to be offline all the time.
