Mbp restarts over and over

my mac book pro keeps restarting over and over

Hello,
Every macs have this temperature sensor what it does is it senses the temperature and analyses with the given operative temperature if your devise thinks the temperature is beyond that limit, your Mac will restart to lower its temperature to a moderate level. Your mac could heat up because:
1. It might not get enough air from its fan because of dirt in it thus your processor can't be cooled. So what you can do is clean up the fans and do not block it airflow making easier for to flow throughout your system.
2. It's a bit complicated method and do it on your own risk, if you not to do it on your own get it to apple store to get it done. The method is reapplying the thermal paste. You may need to this if your Mac is old and the thermal paste is no longer able to transfer the heat from your processor to the heat sink.
3. Your OS X might have some kernal panics or there could be an error a simply reinstalling might help.
4. There could some incompatible software installed in your Mac. To determine if that is the issue simply run your Mac in Safe Boot by pressing the Shift after you hear the chime.
Hope it helps
Thanks

I need to restart - over and over...

My iBook which is about 2 years old, has been shutting off when the charger is not in, like some previous posters' machines, for the last couple of months. Which is annoying, but I can cope with that.
But just the other day, the machine went all black and would not turn on at all. When it finally did, the screen was white with some black printing, and I needed to either re-boot or shut off. I tried both, but the same message came up if I managed to turn it on again (most times it would just sound like it was turned on, but the screen would remain black).
Now I have reached another level, without doing anything but what I have mentioned above: I manage to turn it on, and it all seems ok - my wallpaper and everything appears for a few seconds. Before I get the "switch off" wheel, and "You need to restart your computer". I do, then turn it back on, and get the same message, over and over and over...
Can anyone please help, or give me some hints on whether all's lost for my iBook?
Thanks!

Hey Sasti and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
"You need to restart your computer". I do, then turn it back on, and get the same message, over and over and over...
That's a kernel panic. Look here:

The first suspects would be Airport card, added RAM and bad OS/hard drive.

Downloaded Firefox 4--computer asks over and over to restart, Firefox will not load, cannot remove it!!

I received an update message after my system had installed the newest Firefox 3. something, approximately 4 days ago. (Today is 3/22, so about 3/17--18) The newest update , when started, took me to the Mozilla homepage, where It was suggested I download and comment on the new Firefox 4---I do not normally do this, but am so impressed with Firefox versus most others, that I did, now, I cannot open Firefox at all, the older version, 3. something, is not in my system, only 4, but my system/PC upon trying to open the new Firefox, prompts me over and over to restart the system, (which I have done 3 times) I figured I would then simply remove it, (Firefox 4) and either try it again, or re-install the newest 3. something---I cannot remove it, even using my anti-virus program to do so, it simply prompts over and over to restart, wether I try to open, remove, or access it in any way---I do not wish to use system restore, but that seems my only option, please help!!!

I had the same problem and the solution is quite simple:
- delete all data that has to do with Firefox and Mozilla
- Reinstall the new version Firefox 4
You have to make sure that everything is deleted and well yes you will lose your profile data but at least it works again without any problem.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
Starting The Computer In Safe Mode;
If running, turn your computer off.
Remove any disks and thumb drives that are in your hard drives or ports.
Now start your computer but also;

'''Mac: '''Hold down the Shift key.
'''Linux; '''Using the command line, Linux/Unix computers can be booted

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

Trying to update my software (iPhone and iPad) it says my iTunes software needs to be updated, but it is already is. I try this over and over again. I've already reinstalled iTunes and have shut down and restarted my Mac several times. How can I fix this?

This is what worked:
"In iTunes, I signed out of the store. I exited itunes and restarted it, logged back into the store (with my apple id), then I pulled down the iTunes menu in the menu bar and selected Check for updates.
At this point it said that iTunes 11.1 was available and I'm downloading now " Quoted from a fellow user.
It fixed my problem.

IMac won't start up Mac OS X - Restarts over and over again

Last night when I put my iMac to sleep, the screen turned off but then the fans kicked into overdrive and the computer was unresponsive. This has happened before (once in a blue moon), so I just manually shut it down and went to bed. When I turned it back on this morning, it boot up normally and all of my startup applications opened. Then when I went to open Safari, its dock icon would blink but never actually open. Force quit failed from every possible direction, then Activity Monitor would do the same thing. These also prevented me from logging out or restarting, so again, I had to manually shut it down when it became evident the problem was not going to resolve itself.
Upon pressing the power button and starting it again, the iMac would load the grey Apple screen with the spinning gear, but after about a minute and a half restart on its own, over and over like Groundhog's Day. I tried resetting the SMU - nothing. I tried resetting the PRAM - nothing. I tried staring in Safe Mode - nothing. Where do I go from here??

So I fixed the restart problem. It was some sort of mounting error that was remedied when I reinstalled Tiger from my original grey disks. I chose Archive and Install, like I have done in the past with my PB, and am left in a state of confusion. Rounding off to even numbers, I probably had 30 GB of music, 35 GB of video and 50 GB of photos. Expecting those to be gone, I was able to transfer them to an external a friend let me borrow, in hopes of copying them all back to my disk if the archive and install worked. Well, it did to the point that I am running a fully operational OS X.
So, I now have two questions:
- If all of those files are nowhere to be found in Finder/Spotlight/anywhere, why do I only have 14 out of an original 150 GB hard drive?
- Is there a way to gain permissions to the files and folders in "Previous Systems," even if there may be nothing in them?
Sorry this was long-winded, just trying to keep all up to speed. Thanks again for any assistance.

HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.

Commando sensors dead at times and restarts over and over

In Dec my commando did an update which wasnt the gingerbread update. since then my phone hasnt worked right. All my sensors have stopped working unless i restart the phone but then they stop working after a bit. Due to the Prox sensor not working properly i drop calls all the time. And its restarts over and over about ever 20 min. Did a master reset and didnt help at all. Went to a verizon store and they said i had to go to a Corporate Store. Now I have to drive an hour out of my way to get to one.

Hello dmmcallister26
Wow that's not how the Commando should be responding. The problems you described are very upsetting. Let's get this resolved immediately and save you a trip.
What software version is on the Commando? To check the software version:
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch About Phone
View Information under Baseband Version & Build Number
When you completed the master reset did any third party applications reload? Were there any anti-virus or task killer applications loaded on the device? If so please remove and retest.
Please Let me know the answers to these questions. So we can get this resolved quickly.
Thank you

My iPod touch 4th generation suddenly started restarted over and over for no apparent reason...

So, last night while I was asleep, my iPod Touch started to restart over and over. It loads with the Apple symbol, but with a little settings cog at the bottom of it, and when it get's to the password screen, it stays there for about one second, and the process starts over again. It wont respond to being turned off or on, and the password numbers are unresponsive.
I tried pressing and holding the off button and the home button, and it turns off briefly before starting up again. It turns on without the little settings cog, but as usual, it stays at the password screen for a second, then the loop continues.
I've tried plugging it into my computer, but all that does is make it do it's little 'I'M CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER' beep every time it turns on! I don't fancy taking it to Apple to repair, as I use it every day and I don't really fancy spending the money and having to wait. If any one has had any success with this issue, I would be extremely grateful.
Any suggestions would be completely welcome - even if they're not things that have proved to work. I'm pretty desperate.

Use RecBoot to kick it into recovery mode and restore it.

KDL-43W800C BRAVIA Android TV Restarts itself over and over

KDL-43W800C BRAVIA Android TV Restarts itself over and over.TV purchased on 30/6/2015 from PAI International Bangalore getting restarted automatically hightly disappointing ,considering Sony Brand value i purchased this costly LED .Sony Service request # 26296866.Sony chat representative asked me to do factory reset which didnt yield any result.Sony design & Manufacturing team could you please google with search word "Sony Bravia restart itself" & you will find multiple posts like below ;
https://www.community.sony.com/t5/Television-General/KDL-52V5100-BRAVIA-Restarts-itself-over-and-over/td-p/130867It is proved to be a Known issue with Sony Bravia TV's & Sony seems to be not serious to fix this issue but selling the defective / Problematic products to customers who gets fooled after paying high price just for the Brand value. My question here is IF SONY DOING PRODUCT TESTING IN CUSTOMER PLACE ? , Do you have Known error database , Root cause analysis , Problem fixing approach atall ?.Did i do a mistake by selecting your product ? if this issue isnt fixed i want you to take back the set & refund the entire amount. Please Dont sell any product till its completly tested & verified from now on..

Yes Restart issue got fixed Sony Service request # 26296866 : technical person visited my place & installed the latest software which seems to have fixed & i have been monitoring it from last 2 weeks.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Along with the above issue i reported "Ghosting on LED screen / White patches all over screen " when on & no signal input mode ,when my set top box is powered off.
My issue is exactly mentioned as "Mura Effect type 1 " in below link : http://sonyclouding.blogspot.in/2007/01/what-is-mura.html
"Mura Effect type 1 corresponds to a lack of homogeneity in control circuit adjustments. From one cell to another color control can change and it will lead to permanent defects in intensity in displayed images.engineer who visited my place to fix the reboot issue said Mura ghosting issue is common on Majority of Sony TV & its not an issue to worry about as the patches are not visible when the tv is on Tatasky mode when pictures are displayed. I should not worry abt this is no signal / black screen mode.I have writtent to Sony as below & awaiting response :1. Do you also agree that Mura effect as a known issue & customers like me need not to worry if so ? Sony are you ready to give my tv the lifetime warranty for the LED screen, if this Mura affect leads to serious damage to my screen after my warranty period i may have to invest 20 to 30k INR to get a replacement screen.2. https://community.sony.com/t5/Television-General/KDL-43W800C-BRAVIA-Android-TV-Restarts-itself-over-and-over/m-p/512249Mura effect issue raised by user of Sony community portal "Steve1570z" dead/stuck pixel on the lower right part of the screen. It was refunded, though - So Sony has accepted this issue & indeed refunded the purchase amount to the consumer.If Sony India can follow the same process or this varies b/w country to country ?

Iphont battery meter not working/ push notifications not working/restarting over and over again.

A few weeks ago, I went on a vacation out of the country. I had my iphone 5 on airplane mode for a week. When I got back and turned it off of airplane mode, it started restarting over and over again right after being plugged into the charger. Eventually, it seems to get ahold of itself and stops turning on and off, but the phone battery meter freezes where ever it is at that point. If it has 100% battery, it says it has 100% battery until it dies. If it only has 1% battery, I'll leave it on the charger long enough to have 100%, but it will still say 1%. The battery life itself is not any different. According to the meter, my phone will stay on all day with 1%. Also, after being dead, my phone would turn on immediately after being plugged in (rather than waiting a few minutes to get enough charge as usual). I think this is because since my phone does not know how much battery it has, it thinks it has enough to turn on right away.
I visited the apple store, and they told me to restore it as a new phone. When I did this, it did not work at first. But after a day, my phone battery life meter started working normally again, and it stopped doing the turn on/turn off continuously thing. BUT imessage no longer worked. It said "waiting for activation" for two weeks. Also, push notifications no longer worked. Every time I openned an app, it would notify my that i could not have push notifications and to connect to itunes. Certain apps wouldnt work at all (snap chat, lulu). They would just give the alert about push notifications over and over again.
I wanted imessage back, so I restored my phone as new once again. This time, imessage, push notification, snapchat, ect. started working again. But, it has gone back to not knowing how much battery life it has and restarting over and over again after being turned on from a dead state. WHAT DO I DO?! I don't want to have either of these problems. It's kind of like my phone has a virus.
note: the first time i turned it on after coming back from vacation, it said "no sim card" for a few minutes.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

My ipad mini 2 gets blue screen and then keep restarting over and over again problem

I'm very frustrated now. Please help me!

I have the same issue and have not found a way to fix it yet. I cant even down grade back to 8.2 because it wont stay on long enough.

I just bought v10.7lion but when I try to install it comes with this error message:"Install Failed"...try to install again. Now I've been restarting over and over again. What should I do?

JPPI-
Did you try it with the iTunes your Mac already has?
Try running Software Update in your System Preferences. That should bring your computer up to the latest software available for 10.4. You would end up with an older version of iTunes, but that may be good enough to activate your iPad.
