The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

  • My 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". I replaced the power supply, reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM, but the problem continues. Can anyone help me?

    My 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". So far I reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM. I even replaced the power supply but the problem continues. My error and system logs seem unhelpful too. Can anyone help me out?

    You can get a shutdown like that if the computer gets too hot. Make sure the air intakes on the bottom and the exhaust vent on the top are clean and are not blocked by something in your workspace like papers or the back of the computer being too close to part of the furniture. You need a good six inches (15cm) of clearance between the exhaust slot and other objects or surfaces.
    Anti-virus/internet security software, especially the "pay for" kinds, can increase operating temps. So can third-party backup software furnished with many "name-brand" external hard drives.
    Fan motors and/or temperature sensors can fail. If you have the original grey disks that shipped with your iMac, find the on that has Apple Hardware Test (AHT) and run it. If you have a failed heat sensor or fan motor, it will detect it with an error code containing "SNS" if it's a bad sensor or "MOT" if its a bad fan motor.

  • I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    I am trying to move a pdf file onto my iPad2, and it says that the device is not connected or has stopped working.  But Windows 7 recognizes the device and I can see my pictures.  Same thing happens when I try to put music onto the iPad.

    When in iTunes on the computer,my our ipadmshould show under devices.
    Click on your ipadmunder devices then go to music at top center of the iTunes window, check what you want to sync for music. You need to set it to a folder if I remember which would have your music in it you want synced.
    Same with PDF files.....there should be an option for data or even PDF files at the top center area of iTunes when the iPad is clicked under devices.
    If your iPad does not show or you cannot click on it under devices which is in the leftane of iTunes, the iPad is not being seen by the computer.
    Try unplugging the USB cord from the laptop then give it a few and see if the computer picks it up.

  • New upgrade messed up iBooks - keeps shutting down & how do I get to the store now

    Since new IOS, my iBooks shuts down while I am reading and when I get it back up, it is on page where I started and not page I was on when it shut down.  Also, the store link in upper left hand corner never shows up now.  Anyone know what problem is??

    You reinstalled an old version of iPhoto after you updated your library to the newer version.
    Update ALL your software and try again.
    Click the Apple Menu at the upper left-hand corner of your screen and select "Software Update..."
    Repeat until it tells you there are no more updates.
    AND, launch the App Store application located in your Applications folder to see if there are any updates there as well.

  • Windows keeps shutting down iTunes because of Data Execution Prevention. is there a DEP version of iTunes?

    My iTunes program keeps shutting down shortly after loading.  I get an error from Windows stating that a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Then I get a message that states iTunes was closed because of Data Execution Prevention.  It states to find a version that allows DEP or change your DEP settings.  I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but still have an issue.  Does anyone know how to fix this so that I can use iTunes?

  • IBooks keeps shutting down, and............

    Since downloading iOS8 on my iPad 2 my iBooks App is a mess.  Shuts down every few minutes and when I reopen it it goes to a page I read long ago or to the end of the previous book I read.  Facebook freezes frequently, and iCloud is totally messed up.  Is there a fix for iPad 2 users in the works???  I truly hope so.  My iPad is almost too frustrating to use.  

    Hello there, Katsusbo.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps to try when applications are not working as expected:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected,  restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),  reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • TS3274 Ipad keeps shutting down when on the internet

    When using Safari, Facebook or Pintrest my ipad shuts down and returns to the main page. I can tap Safari the page resumes but after a few min or so, sometimes just a few seconds it returns to the main page on my ipad. Any ideas on how to fix? Rebooted, have my debug set to on, updated ipad but it did not solve my problem.

    Try closing all of your apps. If you are on ios 6, then double tap the home button and hold down one of the app icons until a - symbol appears, like if you want to move apps on your home screen. then close all of your apps. If you are on ios 7, then double tap the home button, and when the different app windows appear, swipe up on them to close them. Once you have done this restart your ipad by holding down the home button, and power button to turn it off. Then hold down the power button for 2 seconds to turn it back on.
    I hope this helped!

  • How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

    I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5.  Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software.  I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap.  I removed Bonjour and quicktime.  I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program.  After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5.  However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down.  I tried making a new user profile.  Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer.  The program again elicited a DPE error.  I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed.  Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue.  Please help.

    I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
    a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923      RESTART UR COMPUTER..
    c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.   
    d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
    I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

  • Dates and convert to Unix Time Stamp using strtotime

    I kind of asked this before but now I really need this to work since I'm currently creating a form using the Update Record Form Wizard and the Date Picker to add/update/delete tour dates and this DB was created years ago and uses Unix Time Stamps to enter dates in the DB (example: 1202596733) and I know ADDT's date picker automatically doesn't support that format but there's got to be some way to incorporate the strtotime PHP command into either the add page or the tNG.dispatcher.class.php file. But how? Has anyone experimented with this previously? I was on another forum and they told me to add this:
    $timestamp = strtotime($_POST['tourdate']);
    to my code but they didn't tell me where and nothing seems to work in making it happen. Anybody got a clue?

    Hi Sean,
    You should be able to simply add the new directory to your include path. But this might fail if relative rather than absolute paths are used
    Indeed, ADDT internally uses relative paths at various places, e.g. the file "includes/common/KT_functions.inc.php" has function named KT_getSiteRoot(), where the variable $siteroot has the following value:
    dirname(realpath(__FILE__)) . '/../..';
    In addition many scripts are defining an absolute path to other scripts, e.g. the Captcha configuration file sets the global variable "KT_CAPTCHA_TEMP_URL" to "includes/common/_temp/.captcha/" -- means that moving the ADDT libraries to a folder like "includes/ssa/" will not work without modifying whatever ADDT script which uses such a hard-coded path, and there are plenty of them.

  • I have a load of music on my ipod..sadly lost my hard drive to my IMac, so now with the new one I have no music!! How do I get the music from my ipod to the computer??

    Need help with ipod to Computer transfer

    You can transfer music imported from cd's to your iphone.  This has never been a restriction.
    You are having a problem in your individual case.
    Have you tried basics fro the manual?  restart, reset, restore.

  • When i search through google and the page opens, it freezes showing that it is transfering. Also when i try to access my yahoo mail the same thing happens. I will uninstall Ver4 beta. and re install 3.6 until u guys find solution to this

    I clicked on yahoo mail, it opened the page but then freezes showing that it it still going on.
    Same thing happens when google page open for search.

    Don't have McAfee, Norton, AVG, actually nothing else running. Had Firefox 4 installed on 5 computers at home and 2 at work. Completely separate ISP's at home and work. XP and WIN7 computers. Yahoo mail freezes and I tried the old Yahoo mail, the new Yahoo mail, and the Beta Yahoo mail. The only way I can sometimes get mail to open is to right-click and open in a new tab or window. I uninstalled all of the computers running Firefox 4 and went back to 3.6.16. Just too buggy and the look of it is strange.

  • Ibook G4 shuts down unexpectedly and resets time and date

    More and more frequently my iBook will shut down completely unexpectedly when not plugged in. This happens regardless of how much battery life it has or it claims to have (80%, 40%, 20%, 12%). It will not start up again from battery only. When I plug the computer and restart it, it has reset time and date to Wed March 31 1969, 19.31 pm. It alerts me that the time is set to before 2001 and this may lead applications to behave erratically.
    Is this normal? Why is this happening?
    I have a few months left of my APP, but that doesn't cover battery related problems, right?

    Hi astaver and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you are still using the original battery from a nearly 3 yrs old iBook then it is almost certain that the battery has reached the end of its useful life. The symptoms you describe more or less confirm this.
    To check on battery health go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac>More Info>Power>Battery and copy/paste the info into a reply.
    You can also download and install Coconut Battery which gives a GUI to the same info.
    You are right in assuming that Applecare doesn't cover you for a dead battery of this age but you might like to see if you qualify under the iBook & PowerBook G4 - Battery Exchange Program.
    Good luck,
    Adrian
