My computer keeps shutting down when I try turn it on

Sounds like you may have hard drive issues. 
You can try using built in diagnostics if you have them by holding D on startup.  If nothing special happens, your model does not have them.  You can then try to boot to recovery by holding Option while starting up and selecting Recovery HD.  (Run Disk Utility Repair)  If no Recovery HD appears, then you have a bad hard drive or an older OS than supports it.
If neither of those works I'd take it to an Apple store or Authorized Apple Service Provider near you for a diagnostic test.  Apple will do it for free, so it's preferred for a test, but may not be the best price for a simple hard drive replacement.  Head over to locate.apple.com to find the nearest AASPs and Apple Stores and set up an appointment.

  • My Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to see my inbox messages

    MY Facebook app keeps shutting down when I try to open my inbox messages . It happens on both my iPhone and my iPad

    I'm having the same issue and I think I've figured out why: apparently, Facebook had an issue with it a few days ago and shut them off until they've fixed it. Here's a link to the info:

  • My CS4 keeps shutting down when I try to use it,why?

    How can I stop my CS4 from shutting down when I try to save or even open a file in it?
    I have tried resetting the preferences file. This worked once but so far has not worked again(I found this solution just by googling). It is obviously a common problems but I cannot find a solution that works or an explanation as to why it happens.
    Please could someone at least explain what causes it? And preferably how to fix it?
    It cost a lot of money and I don' yet understand why I should lose the right to have a functional programme. I'm not interested in having any new features etc. It takes me ages to work out how to do easy thing each time a new programme comes out!
    Thanks

  • ITunes keeps shutting down when I try to go to the iTunes store

    iTunes works fine on my laptop, until i try to click on the store.  it gets about half way booted up and then shuts down the entire program.  I have thought about downloading the entire program all over again on the web, but have close to 3000 songs and apps on my iPad I am nervous of losing.  thoughts?

    How did you get the songs on you iPad? My library contains over 18,000 songs in it and I have a portable hard drive that I use as a back up, not only for my music but for everything else on my computer. I accidentally deleted my library once and had to restore everything from scratch, so I learned to back everything up so in case the computer bites the dust, everything is on a portable drive, which I also take with me when I leave the house so also in case of a robbery and the computers are stolen, I have everything that is on them.

  • My programs keep shutting down when I try to print!!!

    I have no clue what is going on. This is happening in both "word" and "pages". Typically I finish my work on my ibook (G4) then connect to my printer via USB to print when suddenly the program shuts down. Once this happens, the only way I can print the document is to copy the content, open a new document, paste the content on the new document, and then print. This is extremely frustrating. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate it.

    Try deleting print prefs - search for files that start with com.apple.print (File>Find) and delete them, then restart the Mac, then try printing.

  • HP support assistance keeps shutting down when I try to open it.

    When I try to open HP Support Assistant I continurally get a message that it has stopped working and windows is trying to find the cause.   On some other programs the message says that internet explorer has stopped working etc.  I have done malware and virus scans and adwcleaner, but still unable to get certain programs as they keep stop working. 

    Hi @hurmie 
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a terrific place to find answers and information!
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    I understand that the HP Support Assistant and other programs will not open.  You have checked for viruses and malware but it did not help.
    You can try this step as it will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them
    Go to the command prompt and run as administrator
    Type sfc /scannow and press enter
    Wait for it to complete.
    If this has not helped you can try  uninstalling  the HP support assistant and reinstalling it.

    You could also do a restore back to a known good time.  Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
    If the issue should still remain, I suggest doing a recovery back to factory.
    Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7)
    During the recovery there is an option to backup your personal data to prevent data loss. If you have not done one recently  I suggest you do one now.

  • Just purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro and it keeps shutting down when I try to open it.

    I keep getting an error message that acrobat quit unexpectantly.

    Hi Anna.
    Were you able to activate the product post purchase ? Try the following step and advise if this was able to resolve the query for you or not.
    1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache and rename SLCache to SLCache_Old.
    2) Navigate to C:\ProgramData\Adobe\SLStore and rename this to SLStore_old
    Post doing the above, launch Acrobat and try to activate the product.
    NOTE: If you have any other application installed on the machine, the above step would remove the activation for those products as well and convert them to a trial version.
    Cheers,

  • Computer keeps shutting down when trying to update Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2! But says I have installed it 4 times already.

    Hello All,
    Today I updated my MacBook Pro Early 2011 from Lion to Mavericks. I then went onto my App Store and it says I have an update that I need to install. This update is the Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2. Everytime I press update, it says that it is downloading, but suddenly my computer just turns off with no warning when the download hasnt even started. I'm worried that this will damage my computer! What I don't understand is that App Store says that I have already installed this update 4 times. But if so, why is it still saying that I need to update it?
    Any help will be most appreciated!
    Celine

    Unfortunately after that I have no other suggestions... if it was my computer I would reformat the entire computer but you need a good backup to do that something is obviously corrupt and not acting right otherwise if you have another computer that you can use to update..

  • HT201401 My camera keeps shutting down when I try to take a picture

    I've used my camera successfully for several months.  However, last weekend it began having problems.  I would focus the lens, hit the button and the camera went black.  I had to try several times to get a picture.  Now I can take a picture of me while holding it, but I cannot take a  picture of something else.  I get a black screen and then see the subject.  Once I push the button to take the picture, the screen goes black again.  Please help.

    First try a reset, which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.

  • IMac shuts down when i try to log into some user accounts

    Installed Lion on my mid 2010 iMac.
    Now when I log into one of my accounts it starts to log in, then decides it doesn't want to and restarts the machine.
    Guest account works fine, and when I made another account that works fine as well.  Just keeps shutting down when I try to log into my main account.

    Thanks for that.  It looks like it is mail causing the problem.  Took mail out of launch at start up and seems to be working ok now.
    All I have to do now is make sure I remember to turn off mail before I shut down my computer.
