MBP 2.33 Shuts Down When Closed (after 10.5.1 update)

Subject says it all - everytime I open my machine, it's shutdown, not slept. It *****. Anyone else seeing this?

The airport is designed for use by both Macs and PCs, so it uses file sharing protocols (for accessing hard drives via the USB port) used by both systems (AFP - Mac, SMB - PC).
Your Mac, which works with both AFP & SMB is simply 'seeing' both the AFP share and the SMB share. As SMB is used by PCs, it uses a PC icon to represent the "PC" in Finder.
So it's not a bug. Having said that, it would be nice if there was an option to enable or disable each protocol as, like you, I have no need for the SMB sharing capability.

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.

Itunes causes my computer to have a blue screen and shuts down when closing out Itunes window?

When I close out my Itunes window my computer goes black then to a blue screen with words about crashing then shuts down in Windows Vista!

Thanks, I did that yesterday and it worked. I tried to repair it but it said there was a fatal error and I don't even need that Mobile device support. anyway. So after I uninstalled it, it never happened the next two times I closed out Itunes after that.

Computer shuts down when closed

So, one time a few months ago, a little bit of water got into my MacBook Air. Luckily it didn't kill it. It killed the trackpad and keyboard, so when I got home (I spilled water while in the car) I plugged in my iMac's Mighty Mouse and keyboard (both wired Apple keyboards, I still haven't updated my iMac hardware) and it sort of.. '"woke" the MacBook's keyboard and trackpad, so I didn't have to use an external mouse and keyboard anymore. xD So then I used it as normal, and it has continued to work like normal. One problem though - if I close the laptop, it shuts down. It doesn't sleep like it is supposed to. The even weirder thing is: While sitting there, closed, idle, occasionally it will make the boot up sound and the Apple logo on the computer will light up for a second. It will do this every few minutes until the battery runs down or I boot the computer again. This is a Macbook Air 11" 2012 running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4.
Any fix for this?

Satellite U300 - Internet Explorer 7 shuts down when closing a tab

Hello all!!
I've got a new Satellite U300 laptop and since the first day I bought it I have a problem with Internet Explorer 7 (running Vista). Whenever I close a tab it shuts down automatically.
The same thing happens when I open two IE windows.
When I close a tab in one of them, both windows shut down.
Tried and installed all updates from Microsoft, but no resolve.
Can anyone get a hint what to do?
Thnaks

Ups,
Seems like it's going to be harder than I thought... I cant't download IE7 from Microsoft webpage. It says that the browser is already installed on my machine. And since it was sold with Vista already installed on the laptop, no way to roll it back to the previous version. IE7 for WinXP won't work either! I even tried the beta 2 vesrion of IE8, but it's much worse, because it freezes every time I try to open any page!!
I don't even want to consider reinstalling the OS from recovery CD just to make IE work properly!! It's absurd! Don't want to waste time and my files. Could try using another browser but I like (or LIKED) IE!!!

Ipad shuts down when battery is at 20%, since updating to 7.0.4

I've read a few posts about battery issues and I've tried everything from battery saving tips, to resets, to restoring my ipad. Nothing is working. My sister also has an ipad 2 and has exactly the same issue except hers shuts down at 35-45%. This is only since updating to iOS 7, possibly only since iOS 7.0.4.
Can anyone help? Apple? Why can't we roll back a version any more?
My ipad is out of warranty and I don't want to pay for a new battery when it seems to me to be a software issue...
All replies appreciated.

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can't Log Out, Shut Down, or Restart after 10.5.2 update

Since updating I've been unable to log out any user, though I can switch between users via fast user switching. Selecting Restart, Shut Down, or Log Out [User] makes any active windows become inactive, but does nothing else. (The same happens selecting restart from the system prefs or an updater/installer.) After the 10.5.2 update I had a major kernel panic that locked-up the whole machine and had to hard shut down. I've had several mini-panics since then, but the machine operates normally otherwise. I did a thorough Apple Hardware test and everything passed. None of the utilities I ran could find any issues. I am able to Restart and Shut Down via the Login Window (under the fast user switching menu). I have to enter an Admin account override, so I'm not sure if this is causing any system damage. I'm very frustrated with my very new computer. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

This is then not a permissions issue with your existing accounts since it is system wide.
Your hope is that if you run Disk Utility Repair Disk Permissions would fix and Apple Installer installed files (the main system) permissions. Also do a Verify Disk to check for any underlying directory corruption. The safe boot means the issue is not extensions or fonts. There could still be a plugin somewhere screwing things up but it is unlikely.
If repairing the system file permissions and downloading and re-applying the 10.5.2 combo update does not resolve the issue you have corrupt files in the system and need to reinstall the system.
There is one more potential source and that is what are known as page faults. These originate with cache files which can't be loaded back as expected. This is a conflict issue and could be the source of the problem.
You can manually dump the root and system cache but a better alternative is probably to download a program like Yasu. It is configurable, has a simple interface and will repair permissions and clean the cache.

Randomly shuts down when closing screen...power related?

I'm not 100% sure this is power related, but I see all kinds of other posts about similar phenomena. I'm posting anyway because I didn't find one that is exactly the same as this issue. If there is a thread I missed, please point me to it.
Anyway, here's the problem. Sometimes when I close the lid of my macbook to put it to sleep it will restart. It will play the startup sound almost as soon as I close the lid. This happens without regard to whether the computer is plugged in or not. I have checked software update, and it's not telling me I need a firmware update or anything. I even tried downloading a firmware update that was recommended for some issues, but my mac told me I didn't need it (so I didn't install it). I would appreciate any suggestions.
I have a second issue which may or may not be related - sometimes my macbook will not wake up from sleep, and I have to hold the restart button. This also happens without regard to whether the computer is plugged in. Again, suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You might try to reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and/or PRAM (Parameter Random Access Memory). Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM?
The SMC controls some of the sleep functions.

MBP Shuts down when case pressed

My 2007 2.4GHz 17" MBP has started shutting down when any pressure is put on the RAM cover. Does not matter if the battery is installed or not. Any ideas on a fix?

Does it do this when on the A/C adapter or just when running on battery. If the latter, remove the battery and inspect it for any swelling, deformation of leakage. If it's leaking, the goop will look like blue-gray papier máche at the joint between the metal and plastic parts of the battery case.
If you've not tried replicating the shutdown while on A/C power, that would be a good next step in the diagnostic process.

MBP Shuts Down when Power cord is removed

My MBP almost instantly shuts down when the power cord is unplugged. The battery has been fully charged; I've tried restarting the laptop, holding down the power button for 10 seconds, and resetting the SMC.
What is going on??

I'm having the very same problem, and unless I find something on the discussions, I'm taking it into the Apple store as soon as possible.
This is my third battery, and each one seems to have a lifetime of about three months. This situation is different, though. The first one was bulging and shutting down when the battery was below 25% charged and the max battery capacity was dropping sharply. The second one was part of the exchange program, but I noticed it was starting to bulge and the max capacity was starting to drop (below ~60%).
This time, the max capacity is around 75% and I first noticed that it would shut down from sleep sporadically when on battery power. Then today, when I opened it, it shut down immediately. The battery was ~90% charged, but it wouldn't start up without the AC adapter. Now every time I unplug the adapter, the computer shuts down within 3 seconds. I also reset the SMC, which I think is the same process as resetting the PMU, perhaps they are equivalent terms or analogous devices, but the problem persists. There is no way to calibrate the battery since the computer won't run off it.
Unless there is something else to try, I recommend anyone with these problems should ask for a replacement battery.

My macbook wont shut down when I close lid, how do I prevent this?

My macbook wont shut down when I close lid, how do I prevent this?
This had happened before and I seem to recall having to disable blue tooth.
Is this correct?

It's not suppose to shut down when closing the lid, it's supposed to sleep.

MBP suddenly shuts down when using the superdriveP shuts down when u

Randomly my husband:s MBP shuts down when using the super drive. What could be the cause of this?
Appreciatte your Help

Yeah, I hope it is just a firmware-problem. AND that Nokia will release an update soon. The version on my phone now is 021.013, and it is from July. A firmware update is long overdue now, especially after all the other problems reported with this phone. And btw I have turned the phone on and off several times without this helping to fix the radio-issue...
I guess I will have to return the phone soon, if Nokia is unable to release a fixed firmware.

MBP shuts down when connecting to power

Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
Another problem I had earlier as well is CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.
