Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
HELP!

Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

T400 Not shutting down due to driver error.

Hello!
I have recently purchased a refurbished IBM ThinkPad T400 (TYPE: 2767 DM9). The laptop came shipped with Windows XP SP2 Professional 32 Bit; originally in great working condition. However, I had it upgraded to Windows 7 SP1 32Bit Professional (Clean installation) so as to run my applications on Windows 7 platform. My machine works in an overall great condition except the fact that I am not able to install some missing drivers.
I tried looking for driver support at Lenovo but unfortunately, it displays a list of drivers that are not exactly needed by my system - the driver martix at lenovo is somewhat not reflecting exact drivers for my system. When I try and look intot the device manager, there is a unknown device found for which, I even tried windows search for driver update but all in vain.
There is a SIM slot in the battery pack module not sure what it is or what it does. Perhaps there is an LED next to my WiFi LED indicator that is not turning up. I have installed rest all other drivers but somehow, something is missing and not sure what! I even did a system update through system upgrade but that didn't help either.
When I try to shut down my system, it hangs and gets heated where in, I have to manually force the application to close and then only, system would shut down.
System details:
IBM ThinkPad T400 Type: 2767 DM9
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 32Bit SP1
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 160GB
Video: ATI Radeon
I would be really glad if some one can be of any help in this forum.

There is a definite device conflict/driver missing on the system due to which, system is hanging up during shutdown. Unfortunately, lenovo doesn't support a utility to download the exact device drivers based on the model number - it rather lists a dreadful list of device drivers which aren't even meant for my for system. For instance, the list for my Wireless WAN goes like this...
Lenovo Mobile Broadband Activation (Ericsson F3507g, Qualcomm Gobi1000, Qualcomm Gobi2000) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Qualcomm HS-USB Wireless WAN (UNDP) driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit) , Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) and XP
Qualcomm HS-USB Wireless WAN (UNDP) for Gobi 1000 NV Updater Tool for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), Windows 7 Mobile Broadband, Vista (32-bit, 64-bit) and XP
Now, how the hell would I know which is meant for my system? And this happened even after selecting my exact system which is T400 Type 2767 DM9.

My computer shuts down after 45 seconds from when I push the power button. Anyone have an idea why?

After pushing and holding the power button on my Mac the apple screen comes on and after a few seconds there is a loading bar that tries to load something for a few seconds then it shuts down. I would say it is approximately 45-50 seconds after pushing the power button. Power comes on then shuts right off. This all originated when I tries to log in as a different user. It froze for a while, then I shut down the computer with the power button. Because I couldn't so it from the apple icon on the desk top

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

My Pavilion G4 shuts down after a few minutes when I plug it in

My hp pavilion G4 shuts down automatically after a few minutes when I plug it in. It does not happen regularly so I'm not sure of the reason of why it happens. The laptop shuts down and when I press the power button, the light on the power button just flashes but it does not start. Even if I remove the charger and push the power button, it doesn't start. I have to remove the battery and place it again to be able make the laptop start again.

I understand that you are having a problem with your g4 shutting down randomly after you turn it on. When this happens do you get an error message at all? If so, what is the error message?

Oh-oh. Ext FW drive shuts down my MacBook and PC when I plug it in

I have an Acomdata 250 GB ext FW HD. Suddenly, whenever I plug it into my MacBook (10.4.9), it immediately shuts down my MacBook without warning. Ditto when I plug it into the FW port on my PC (Win XP Pro SP2). When I plug it into my Digital Audio DP G4, it doesn't shut down. But no computer recognizes the drive any more. The drive seems to boot up OK, but it's not recognized. Any ideas on what's wrong? The drive holds my iTunes music, so I am pretty freaked out if the data is lost forever (yes, I backed everything up on DVDs last week).
I tried different FW cables, with the same result. Other FW drives work fine with my Macs and PC. Could the HD enclosure be bad?

You should contact the drives manufacturer. If it does it on your Mac and PC it sounds like the drive enclosure may have a short somewhere. Luckily you backed up or you may have lost everything.

After plugging in a USB video capture devise, the computer shut down with a fatal error message.

I tried using system restore and continued to get fatal error messages. Pressing escape, F8,F9,F10,F11,& F12 all resulted in fatal error messages. One time the F10 woked and I pressed exit and save. I can't get it back again.
I tried the recovery disk and after he sixth try I was able to get to the screen where I could restore the computer to the original factory settings. The hard drive was reformatted and the software was reinstalled. After restart I had an initial start up screen. On the first screen all of the defaults were correct english, USA, etc. I hit next. On this page I was to input My Name and the computer name. My keyboard would not input anything, therefore the NEXT would not highlight and I couldn't go any further. I powered down and restarted 2 more times with the same result. On the 4th try I was back to fatal errors and am stuck there. Even the Recovery disk no longer works.

It could be that the database entries for that particular book are corrupted. Apply the fix below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
iPhoto 8 (09) and earlier- run the options indicated
iPhoto 9 (11) and later- run Option #4 to rebuild the database

Computer shuts down with "Fatal eror" message when I plus in USB for synch

During instillation I was able to synch my Iphone. However, every time I attempt to synch the Iphone, a blue screen now appears with a "fatal error" message and the computer has to be restarted with the USB cable unplugged. Can no longer synch.

Hey rbtvwestfall,
This may be a driver conflict issue. Take a look at this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306048

Windows computer says 'Format disk in drive E' when I plug in iPod. Will this erase everything?

When I plug my iPod nano into my Windows laptop, it says 'Format disk in drive E'. Will this lose everything if I do this?

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized.

My 120GB IPod classic is not recognized by my Windows 7 PC. When I plug the ipod into my computer I receive a message saying that the USD device is not recognized. The Device Manager lists it as an Unknown Device. I've tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it, but it had no affect. The odd thing is that our other iPod (160 GB Classic) is recognized on the same computer using the same USB cable. When I plug the ipod in question into another PC, the PC seems to recognize the iPod and lists it in Windows Explorer (iTunes is not installed on this machine). There seems to be something out of wack with this PC/iPod combo. Any thoughts on what I can do to try to resolve this issue? I tried all of the steps listed here, but they didn't help me. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

Hi. I recently got a new computer and transferred all my files across using TimeMachine. Whenever I try to sign into any CC program (including CC) the program instantly shuts down and an Apple error message comes up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CC twice with no avail and deleted every Adobe product on my computer and nothing is working.

I have seen similar discussions before... transferring does not work, you must install

Unknown error {-53} Computer shut down

My computer shuts down while updating my ipod. Gives me an unknown error {-53} and sends my computer all wonky. I then have to reboot and start the mess all over again. What to do?

Hello Peter,
I already have the new BIOS you sent me. The problem persists. Toshiba has no Authorized Service for computers where I live (Brazil) as far as I can see on their site, which I can't understand since it is a global company. So, I can not use my business computer now. Apparently, I either have to ship it to the States (which will cost me more than the computer is worth, and I'm better off buying a new one of a brand that takes care of its customers globally), or I have to try and find someone here who thinks they might be able to discover the problem and fix it. Any suggestions?
