Computer Shuts down when trying to update to v4.2

Hi Internet,
I am trying to update my firmware from version 4.1 to 4.2 and as I click the update button, my computer just shuts down and does not update.
It's like the update button is acting as the shutdown button from the start menu.
Is anybody else having this problem?
I have tried contacting apple customer support and end up playing the ping pong game from operator to operator.
Please help

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..

Mail will shut down directly after launch

Once I launch Mail, I will see 2-3 second view of my "inbox" and then it will shut down. I tried restarting my computer, which made no change. My software is updated as far as I can go.
I have not noticed anything else wrong with my other programs or the computer in general. Although in Safari, my back/forward buttons were missing from my tool bar. I've added them back along with a couple other buttons and they seem to be working fine.
I also had the bright idea of re-installing the mail software, but could not find it it on the original disks, nor could I find it on this website.
If anyone can offer some suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I had the same issue just now. It happened to me after a system crash. I ran disk utility to fix my preferences, then disk warrior. Right after that, the mail closed down as soon as it started up. I seemed to have fixed it though. First I went to my system/Library folder and copied my Mail folder to the desktop. I then went to my user folder/Library/Preferences and deleted the file com.apple.mail.plist. This forces you to re-install your mail server settings. After your account is re-made, it will ask if you want to import mailboxes. Choose the mail folder you copied to the desktop and you SHOULD have your files back. Someone may have a better system, but this seems to be working for me. Good luck.

Macbook Air Shutting Down Intermittently After Yosemite Update

Since installing Yosemite my MBA keeps turning itself off, randomly. I've noticed a few posting saying it's when theirs goes to sleep but mine is switching off at all different times, even when not running anything other than one browser window (no streaming/videos just basic facebook or something)
There are no error messages and it's almost presents itself as if there is an overheating problem or something but I have checked the temperature and it's never over 36 degrees (C)
I called Apple support and they had me reboot in safe mode, check all disk permissions, reset PRAM and SMC etc but nothing worked. Spoke to another advisor and he said to try reinstalling the OSX but other than that i will need to take it for repair. I'm unable to reinstall as every time i boot in recovery mode and attempt to it encounters an error.
I ran the hardware test on via diagnostics but it says no issues.
Also, on a couple of occasions after it has shut down it has reset the clock as well. Oh, and when i try to switch it on (which sometimes takes a little while) it will only do so if it's plugged into the power cable.
Anyone had any issues similar or can help? I'm stumped and the machine is less than 6 months old I can gather I'll probably need to take it to be repaired somewhere but would appreciate some advice so they don't try and fob me off when I speak to them next.
Jen
PS - Sorry I'm not that techy, tried to explain as best I can.

I experienced exactly the same thing and rolled back to a Mavericks time machine backup.
Since then no issues whatsoever.
Losing out on all the nice bits in Yosemite though

When I insert a CD or DVD, my computer shuts down.

Just wondering if someone knows about this problem and what to do about it:
When I insert a CD or DVD, my computer shuts down. After I restart the computer, it lets me insert the CD without a shutdown. That's really weird. It's annoying.

Hello BabyBoomer;
Thank you for your post. My computer is running with Magsafe.
Earlier I had been repairing disk permissions. No problems were found.
Now I started Disk Utility and verified disk for errors.
Following Problems were found:
Volume header needs minor repair.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Volume needs repair.
Though when I repaired the disk, no problems were found??? But problem still exists. I'm getting a new hard drive soon. Maybe that solves the problem, if the problem is the hard drive.
Also, sometimes when I start disk utility, the computer crashes.

Computer shuts down after 5-15 minutes

After 5-15 minutes of inactivity the computer shuts down when on battery. As long as the computer stays active, it will not shut down; ie: netflix watch now not a problem.
Support had me do a hard reset with battery removed; repair permissions; and reset pram; but the problem continues. The Leopard I am using is an upgrade, clean install with latest update. This behavior does not occur when I run the computer off of an external usb inclosure with old Tiger operating system, running on the original disk . So this suggests to me that it is a software and not hardware problem. Also when plugged in the computer will eventually quit and restart on its own.
Is there anything else to try or is archive and install the only option left because I have a corrupted Leopard install ??
Thanks for any suggestions !!

rakki,
Just curious. When did this problem start? Possibly when you upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5? (10.4.11 to 10.5.5 even?).
I'm having similar though not identical issues with battery performance that started the day I upgraded to 10.5.5 from 10.4.11.

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Computer shuts down after exporting H.264 from mts file

My computer shuts down after trying to export a H.264 file from a .mts file. I did this with no problems a few days ago, twice! This time line is longer, about 6.5 minutes. I have a I 5 processor, a gtx 660 graphics card and 8 megs of ram. I exported audio as a wave file and added those to the timeline. In the events panel, I get a message: "file importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of audience_end_short.wav. Reading and writing this files metadata (xmp) has been disabled". it said the same for another short bit of audio, .wav file. I thought maybe there was a over heating issue, but to no avail. Do I need to get an I 7 processor? Please help!

sorry about the spelling! Still going. About the driver issue. I was updating Geo Force drivers and my friend said to revert to the original install, which I did a while ago. That helped, but obviously didn't cure it. Wonder if I should do the same for windows updates. So although I'm still rendering after 2 hours, perhaps the new user acount will get me through this. So strange that I was able to render/export the exact files the other day. Like I said, this mts clip is longer by a minute. Plus, I got rid of the wav files that had a meta data issue. Thanks for helping me everyone. I'll keep you posted. But I do believe an I 7 processor will at least help in the speed department right?

I have been edited a project for weeks. Today, a few minutes after opening the project to work on it again, my computer shut down abnormally. The timeline disappeared. All the media is still in the project but my edited timeline is gone. Please help!

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Far as your Safari problem do these things until it's resolved:
1: Software Update fully under the Apple menu.
2: Check the status of your plug-ins and update (works for all browsers) also install Firefox and see if your problems continue. You should always have at least two browsers on the machine just in case one fails.

Computer shuts down while updating Ipod?

Hi
I have a Video Ipod and an old laptop, my problem is that my computer shuts down 2 minutes after I open Itunes.
My question is, whether the Ipod saves the little data that is transfered, when the transfer is abrubted by the computer shutting down?
(If it saves it I can keep on updating tiny bits of my music libary, otherwise I will stop wasting my time restarting the upload proces over and over again)
Thanks

Macbook shuts down right after update.

I downloaded the last update. When the Mac shut down and restarted to install the update.. The computer shuts down. Not sure what is going on. Hope someone can help
I attempted to add picture

Hi DBolick5,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is not starting up after installing an update, first try booting into Safe Mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Starting up in Safe Mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Regards,
Jeremy

Ok. so I updated to iOS 5. Downloaded it from iTunes and all. But in the middle of installing the iOS, i fell asleep. not knowing my computer was at a low battery charge my computer shut down. I did a DFU already but i'm not sure if it the os is complete.

Restore to factory settings. That will use the latest iOS and then restore from a backup.
Never, never, never attempt an update/upgrade on any portable computer device without plugging it into its AC charger.

Hi to all, I use Windows 7, 64Bit and Lightroom 5.7, Camera Raw 8.7, when I develop or export files (mostly Raw Fils from Nikon D810) after 10 to 20 pictures my computer shuts down or I get a bluescreen. Please tell me why.

Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
Make sure your video driver is up to date.
If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly.
