MacPro 2,1 apparently rebooting itself in the night?
Hey everyone,
I have a Mac Pro 2,1 running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and almost daily, when I wake it up from sleep it acts like it has rebooted itself at some point during the night (login items showing). I do have it set to wake on LAN, and going back through the console event logs, it appears like it's waking itself up hourly to announce itself on the network, as it should be. But I'm also seeing indications that some of those wakes are triggering reboots, and I have no clue why.
I did recently upgrade the system with all new drives (240GB Samsung 840 SSD for OS, 2x3TB Toshiba HDDs in RAID1 for my User folder, 4TB Hitachi for Time Machine) and a Newer 2-port eSATA card (in slot 4), but the machine was exhibiting this behavior before the upgrades. I reinstalled everything from scratch at the time of the drive upgrades, so I doubt it's anything to do with the new hardware... I hoped that the clean install of everything would fix whatever was going on, but obviously it didn't.
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the phantom reboots?
Thanks folks,
Jeff
using an older too small UPS and have issues, of course it could be showing its age (or not) but always worth looking at.
Rosetta and upgrades - of course a day will come when Mac Pro might not support pre-Lion, right now we can dual boot 10.6.8 and Lion/ML if desired.
Not having any device connected except kb/mouse, nothing on that Newer card incl. the Voyager would reduce that as contributor.
Rosetta has to act to translate and be its own super process VM, getting rid of it was a blessing. I would "consider" a dual boot setup and have Lion... just for testing your system... unless this more academic curiosity and worry.
FBDIMMs are always worth making sure that they are not just working, but working as cool as possible, closer to 60*C and how old or what mix of size and brands are in there.
My system iwth dozen plus programs and using half the 16GB is like silk the way it handles and responds now. Never better and I attribute that to both Lion and of course SSD Samsung. I use to use an older SSD (Dec 2010) and I could not tell the difference between it and a 150GB 10K VR. Now it is night and day on the Samsung 840... Yours should be doing the same.

I'm not sure what do do, everytime the battery goes up my phone reboots itself, im not sure if its to do with my battery or the new charger or just my phone?
Check the USB port and the USB cable for any kind of lint, debris or bent pins.
Try another, working USB cable.
If still no luck, get it checked by visiting an Authorized Apple Service Provider or contact Apple Support to get it serviced:

My Macbook is rebooting itself all the time randomly! - Help!
My Macbook is randomally rebooting itself (seems like it's juicing memory like it was a hot day). although I have 3 things opened (firefox, word, powerpoint) it seems like it's too much for it.
It's a Macbook 13"- Aluminum from late 2008
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB

Luckily 2x4GB 1066Mhz is very cheap, change the modules. Use Crucial (they have a configurator) or OWC.

Surface Pro 3 keeps rebooting itself into the BIOS
I have a Surface Pro 3 running 8.1 Ent with the latest firmware / updates. It is a machine that I intend to use for testing so right now there is nothing on it other than the base image (Office 2013 / Adobe Reader X / Trend AV).
Yesterday, while sitting at my desk, I noticed that it was suddenly at the BIOS screen. If I restarted from the BIOS screen, it would cycle, say Surface and then boot right back into the BIOS. Not wanting to spend a lot of time with it, I reimaged it and
figured that should be good.
Today, the machine did the same thing. If I power it completely down from the BIOS and then power it up again, I am able to get back into Windows, but it keeps shutting down and then booting into the BIOS at random intervals.
Being that this isn't my primary machine, I haven't caught it happening. I've taken a quick spin through the event logs and I can find the kernel power events but thus far I don't see anything real relevant right before those events occurred.
Frankly, I have too much to do to spend a lot of time troubleshooting one machine, but as we are looking to start deploying these in the future I figured I would reach out to see if anyone else had a similar experience or had any thoughts on what I could
look for.
Thanks in advance.
WBI got the same problem today. Solved it by pressing 'VolumeUp + Power' buttons at the same time. Next time I rebooted, it booted normally to O/S instead of the BIOS.
This button sequence is one technique how to enable access the BIOS screen. I believe this button sequence acts as a "toggle" switch, instead of just a "momentary switch" or a once-only switch. I think what happened to me
is that I "toggled-on" this switch, and I kept rebooting to BIOS until I "toggled-off".
This is different behaviour than what I'm accustomed to on PC's, where I have to hit F2 (or F12 or DEL) every time, if I want to access BIOS screen.

Router randomly reboots itself almost every night
I've been with Sky for a few months now and this is becoming an increasing frustrating problem. Everything is fine until, somewhere between, I think 10pm-2am, the internet would slow down and after a 2-3 mins - grind to a halt, the connection drops (smiley face disappears from router) before it re-establishes a connection. This doesn't feel like an interference problem as the connection does not just drop - it gradually slows down before reseting itself. At first I thought this was just a firmware check/update but surely this cannot be happening almost every single night? I've called Sky to run some line checks and everything seems normal. I'm already at the master socket and done the usual checks. Now I'm starting to think that somewhere between my router (SR102) and Sky, there is some sort of scheduled 'link refresh' which makes the connection reset itself almost every single night. Anyone with a similar problem - any advice much appreciated.
Mine is the same but reset randomly (Disconnect and connect) about 20 + time a day. Rang Sky and done all test, I am thinking it was the Sky hub (Router) might have gone faulty but they not offer to replace it and want to do more check.
Mine once on smily face in Amber, it sometimes doesn't turn back to white which mean broadband is not connected at all. It has been 1 week now like this. -
Driod 4 keeps rebooting itself and battery won't stay charged
What do I do about my droid 4 constantly rebooting itself after the verizon wireless update that was pushed out March 23 or so?
1st my phone was frozen after the update and I had to request a replacement phone.
2nd the replacement phone randomly just reboots, whether I am using it or not.
The battery barley stays charged even when it's on the charger. I have all the data syncs off
I can't update my apps because the phone says it does not have network access., but I can make call and send text messages.
very upset about this, verizon should have tested the update further before pushing it out. there was nothing wrong with my original phone, now I h ave a large paper weight that has to stay hooked to the charger.Hi alval!
I am sorry to learn of the rebooting issues with your phone after the latest software update. Let's get your phone our the paper weight mode and back into the awesome wireless device that it is! I had similar issues with my phone after the latest software update and I resolved all issues by doing a factory reset http://vz.to/TZvgLF as this clears any third party applications conflicts and any potential system errors created while processing update. Make sure to back up all your important media before doing factory reset as this process deletes all media and bring phone back to original state. Keep us posted.

Nano reboots itself everytime I attach it to/remove it from dock connector
I've had my 16 GB 4G Nano since January, and only in the last 4 weeks or so it has been rebooting itself everytime I connect or disconnect it from 2 docking ports:
the LG LDF750 micro home stereo & the Sony ICF-C1IPMK2 Speaker System and Clock Radio
The Nano would reboot itself to the black screen with the Apple logo, and I would lose my menu settings. I don't know if it's caused by static, or a software upgrade from iTunes, and I don't know if there's any long-term damage. I never had this problem before when I had a 6G Classic. I did a firmware restore about 6 times, and that did not solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated; thanks!After almost 2 months of the constant rebooting, I finally took the Nano back to the Apple store a few days ago, as it was still under warranty. The clerk ran a diagnostic software on it, and found out that it wasn't holding its charge. He said it may or may not have anything to do with the iPod rebooting, but it was serious enough that it warranted a replacement. I ended up getting it exchanged; so far the new replacement iPod is working beautifully with my dock connectors.

IPod touch rebooted itself!
My iPod touch 3rd gen (with 4 gen software) rebooted itself. The ipod told me to connect to iTunes, but when I connected the iPod, iTunes told me it can't connect to my iPod because it is locked with a passcode, and that I have to type the passcode on the pod, and it does have a passcode I programed.. But I can't type it on because the iPod is telling me to connect to itunes!
What happens if you try to manually place it in recovery mode? See this article for information on getting it into Recovery Mode.

I have 2 iPad minis and a 5S in the house and they are all fine. It is only the IPad Air that is causing the Superhub to reboot. Virgin say it's not their equipment! Any ideas?

You might learn more about what's causing that by launching the Console utility and looking in "system.log" or "Console Messages" for events that happened around the time of the reboot. -
Hi, My name is Cassie.
I bought my iPod off of amazon just around the end of January of this year (2012). Last night I was playing around on my iPod. Listening to pandora, and editing pictures. I got to a picture and clicked edit, and then my iPod shut off. It rebooted itself and seemed to be running as if nothing had happened. I put my music back on and went back to the picture and tried to edit it again. I clicked the edit button and the ipod shut off again. This time, it kept rebooting. It went to the apple symbol to turn on and about thirty seconds, the time it normally takes to turn on, the whole screen went white and then shut off and tried rebooting again. It kept doing this over and over again. After a while, it did eventually stop, but only to a completely white screen. It was like that all night long because I fell asleep. (gave up on it). It is now the afternoon and after I held the lock button and the home button down the screen when off. I let it sit for about a half an hour, then I tried turning it on again. But it still is doing the same thing. I have no idea what I could have done to make it do this. Unfortunalty, I am not home to connect it to my own iTunes, but regaurdless, it wont even connect to the computer. I did have my ipod plugged in the whole time it was rebooting and shutting off last night. It was connected to my wall jack which normally works fine. But even having it plugged into the computer as it is now, its still doing the same thing. I am dissapointed that I might end up loosing everything that I have on it. I have not been able to sync it to my computer to save all the apps and pictures and music I have stored on it. I really do hope I can get some help or advice!
Thank You!!

I have had it for 2 weeks now, got it brand new at the apple store, it freezes all the time, and reboots itself, sometimes when i start it, purple dots cover the screen and i have to hold the power button. a 2 week old computer is not supposed to do this! it wastes all its time being so flashy that it just craps out all the time. sometimes i feel like i should have stayed with my virus covered PC. at least when it shut down randomly you could turn it back on, but with the macbook pro, it just keeps restarting itself over and over. need help with this, any answers?
Here's a novel thought. Take it back to the vendor. Should have done that one week ago.

Recovery Mode is your last resort per the instructions here. Also, read this.
If still no joy, make an appointment with the resident "Genius" at the closest Apple Store. -

Try restoring the iPhone from recovery mode.
If that doesn't do it, the iPhone will beed to be sent back to Apple for repair, head on over to the Service Answer Center for the iPhone.
