Sounds like you'll need to access that drive while it is not booted. You need to replace it anyway, so do that, then one way or another (ext enclusure, et), access it and copy files.
If you keep trying to boot it, you might kill it for good and not get your files, so just swap it out first.

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 computer keeps shutting down.

My computer keeps shutting down. It just goes black. To turn it back on, I have to wait a few minutes before pressing the button. When it comes back on, it seems to take longer than usual. It seems more likely to do this when I have several programs running at once. There might be a flickering light on the lower right side.
It's a desktop computer.
Any guesses?

I had a similar, but different problem. My iMac running OS 10.5.6 wouldn't start up all the way. I would get the Apple logo and the spike gear on the grey screen, and after a while the computer would go off (black screen). I started from the install disk and got horrifying red messages that disk utility couldn't fix it. AIEEEEE! I bought Disk Warrior, and fearfully rebuilt the disk directory. Problem solved.
Strangely, neither my Apple store nor a large electronics store carried Disk Warrior. Nobody at the stores knew why, although they said they had lots of inquiries about it. Third try I found DW version 4.1.1. Problem solved.

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there some way to avoid this?

My iphoto keeps shutting down while I'm typing a caption. Is there a way to stop that?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
What version of iPhoto?

No. If you do then it will kill the process, unless that's what you desire to happen.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.

First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.
Next
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Is it possible that you or someone who knows your iCloud sign on went into the Find My iPhone app and erased your device via iCloud? Because that is what that message is saying.
Have you tried to sign on with your Apple ID and password?
Was it online prior to this incident happening?

Ever since I got the new update my iPad keeps shutting down apps mid use!

While using my iPad 2 programs and apps keep shutting down mid use this only started happening after I did the update.... Any suggestions?

Try closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if that improves things.
To close apps : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
To do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My computer keeps shutting down and I don't know what to do.

I purchased the student/ teacher version of the cloud membership/ design suite for os x and promptly began downloading the programs that I would use onto my macbook pro. I downloaded photoshop cs6, Bridge, Illustrator, and Acrabat. I havn't used anything but photoshop so far but I have encountered a serious problem. When I first got photoshop I would leave the application open by accedent and my computer started shutting down randomly but only about once a day. As I started using photoshop more I started closing the application when I wasn't using it but when I was the computer would shut down at some point during each project. I could deal with saving a lot as I go but now it shuts emediately every time so I can't use photoshop at all. Please can someone give me some advice, even if it is just to go to the apple store.

I had very similar behaviour occur when I purchased my first MacBrook Pro and it turned out to be a faulty Graphics Card. Take it to the Genius Bar and see what they have to say. If they don't know what's going and it's not a hardware issue, then we need to know a lot more to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

Xperia Z1 keeps shutting down does not restarts,and automatically stops and starts charging randomly

My Sony Xperia Z1 keeps shutting down due to high temperature even though its not overheated, or i am not running any app. It does not restarts even after i give it some time to cool down as it soon again displays the same messege (SHUTTING DOWN DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE), then when i connect a charger it automatically starts charging and discharging (even though if the charger is connected and ON) the cell phone
I request you to kindly look into the matter, expedite the situation and suggest me any possible solution asap
also i would request you to not to release any OS updates unless they are fully stable and functional, i have bought this device 6 months back and it has already malfunctioned 3 times which is a serious concern. I cannot keep on updating and repairing my cell phone after every month or so which i feel is very irritating.
Please stop treating these devices as developers guinea pigs

I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.
How to backup?
If the issue should still remain I think that this needs to be examined and fixed at a repair center. For more information about how to submit your phone for repair and where, contact your local support team.

Macbook randomly shuts down while in use. still has batter power.

About six weeks ago I posted this same problem. It seemed to go away on its own but now has happened again (once today and once just two days ago). I couldn't find any thread that had the same problem as mine.
I have a Macbook that I bought in January, 2007 and I've had very few problems with it. Starting last early spring, after a little over a year, the battery started taking less time to run out. It also occasionally took a longer time to come out of sleep mode, usually only a few extra seconds but a few times it took nearly a minute, and once it was nearly ten minutes). I know I need to replace it, but overall, it isn't drastic. It just runs out maybe 25% faster than it used to (and hasn't really increased since), and rarely has problems with coming out of sleep mode.
Three times now my computer has randomly shut down for no reason while I was doing things. Once in August and twice in the last couple of days. It isn't related to a particular program, as I was never always using the same thing. The last two times (today and the other day. And I think the first time, too, though I can't remember), I had my computer unplugged and it had been being used for some time unplugged (once it was around 50%, once around 40%, when it shut off). When I try to turn it back on, it just shuts off again and only stays on when I plug it in again.
I am UP TO DATE on all programs. Is this a common symptom of a battery dying? I'm wondering if maybe the gauge that tells me my battery power is screwed up somehow and isn't giving me accurate numbers (though when this happens, the lights on the bottom still appear as if to say I have battery power left).
Basically I'm wondering if this is a simple battery problem I can solve by buying a new one or if there is a more serious problem with my computer. IS THIS NORMAL? Please help. I love my Macbook.

Mine does that. Around 40-45% battery life it just dies.
