My imac is 2008 model OS X (10.5.8) . It shuts down suddenly often by itself. And sometimes not able to restart. Any idea how to fix?
I know exactly what you are going through. I am almost 100% sure it has to be due to these other failures involving temperature. Mine is in this group. Here is a further discussion:

As an anecdote, our 20" early 2008 iMac has been running fine since we bought it nearly three years ago. The AppleCare is up at the end of this month so unless Murphy's Law notices we expect another year or two out of it before we upgrade it. It's on probably 18-22hrs out of every day.

My iMac starts up and then shuts itself down during the boot up process. it shuys down half way through the Apple logo appearing. any ideas how to fix?
Hi daveormond,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iMac. If you continue to have issues with your Mac shutting down part way through the boot up process, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful (given your description, it sounds like it could be either issue, or a combination of both):
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup - Apple Support
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem." - Apple Support

my birthday events for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?
I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks! -
Is it just me or is the last safari update for Yosemite slowing everyone down? Any ideas how to fix it?
When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is especially bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down when I save a file I am working on. Any ideas how to fix this?
Photoshop CS6 continually shuts down on me when I go to save a file I am working on. I work primarily in this software, and this continual shut down happens at least 10+ times a day. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
Does that happen with that file only or with any other files as well?
Did you try to create a new file and save it?
What error message do you get? Please attach an error screenshot.
Which operating system do you use?
Since when are you facing this issue? Did it ever work before?
What changes did you make after which you are facing this issue?

Since updating my iphone 5s software to ios 8, iTunes shuts down everytime in the app sync process. I have the most current version of Itunes on my laptop. Any ideas of how to fix?
I feel its more of my sync drivers for itunes/iphone not working if that makes sense. Its not my itunes that stops responding, its more of that if the phone syncs up it fails to anything further.
I've tried sync another iphone to the same itunes and windows autoplayer will allow the photos sorted on the iphone to be saved to the laptop but itunes won't even recongise the device is plugged in.
Although it will charge the battery -
ITunes reboots automatically every time I try to shut it down, any ideas how to fix this?
Hi! Every time I try to quit iTunes, it shuts down and reboots automatically, so once I've started it I won't be able to turn it off. And further more, if I want to shut down my computer while iTunes is on, it just won't happen, and the only way to do it is by pressing the Power button for a couple of seconds, then a dialog box will ask me if I'm sure what I to do, wether rebooting or shutting down, and only then I can shut my computer down.
Is anyone familiar with this issue?
Thanks!For starters lets try this .. Close FF, locate your profile main directory and the file "localstore.rdf", make a backup copy then delete the original file. Restart FF, you may lose some custom settings but easy to restore. Does it still crash?

Any suggestion on how to fix the problem or what the problem is...would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi there,
Here are my answer to your questions.
1) What's causing this problem -- me, software, or hardware?
Depends are you listening or playing those songs online ? This Can be caused by Software or Hardware. but based on your description it sounds like that this might just be a driver issue
2) How can I avoid it? (work-arounds)
Reinstall SOUNDCARD DRIVER or get a faster internet connection ( For streaming musics )
3) How can I eliminate the problem completely?
Reinstall the soundcard driver, or get a faster internet connection ( For streaming musics )
4) Is there any way that the sound and internet are actually related problems, or are they just coincidental?
Soundcard and Internet will be related to each other if you are listening or Playing those songs online. Since it needs to buffer first before you will be able to play the whole song completely without cutting off.

Set "hot corner" to put iMac to sleep. Doesn't work. Selecting the corner will momentarily put to sleep, but immediately rewakes. Have tried all four corners with same result. Have tried with wireless mouse and with corded mouse with same result. Any ideas as to how to fix?
You've been so great, I want to thank you for all the help over a very frustrating day. Last evening, I redownloaded and installed the fresh copy of Mountain Lion. The problem remained. After installing the new OS 10.8, any clicks on a web page (Firefox browser) didn't open the page, but instead made a copy of the page on the desktop. Felt it must be hardware degrading, so I set up a case with Apple support for today. Early in the diagnostics, I had swapped out for a corded mouse and the problem remained. As a last try, I changed out my wireless mouse for a different wireless mouse. That seems to have done the trick. My Logitech mouse is incompatible with OS 10.8.
Thank you again, so much!

I got my iPhone 5 64GB last Saturday and the battery is a pile of wank!!! Does anyone have any idea what I could do to sort it? I know about brightness and wifi, I do all that! Many thanks.
Your battery experience is unusual. While I don't use my phone a lot it is on 24/7. The mists I've seen my battery run down is to abut 45% after 10 hours offi the charger.
Here's how to reset (reboot) your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.
If that is what you did I suggest making an appointment at and Apple store for a consultation. -
After the most recent Firfox update, the Add-on page locks up when I click on options for any add-on. Also my AddThis button is gone.
# Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
# Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
# This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]] -
My 2006 - 2008 Mac Pro running Lion will not play HDV 1080i60 footage in FCP 7. When I open the sequence settings, all HDV codecs are hdv1, hdv2, hdv3, and so forth. However, when I open the project on my other Mac Pro running Snow Leopard and FCP 6, the footage works fine as it does on my newer Imac running Mavericks and FCP 7. I have tried a Quicktime update on the Mac Pro that the footage doesn't work on but it says that I already have the newest version of Quicktime installed. I have also tried reinstalling the Final Cut Pro Studio twice, still no fix. I'm completely out of solutions and need to be able to edit HDV footage on this machine. Any help would be great. Thanks.
there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc. -
Unfortunately, I have a printer who is working on Illustrator 3 (Don't ask). Any work arounds that you know of that can fix this issue? I can save all of the way down to CS without issue, but anything prior is giving me the following message:
Cant Open the Illustration. The illustration contains an illegal operand.
Offending operator: {ps_metadata_stream}
Context:
I am at a loss right now. I've removed metadata using Bridge and Acobat to no avail.Are you trying to open the AI3 file or is the printer? Who is getting the error message?

The new updates to 6.0.1 has messed up my phone. Face time is always every5-10 seconds saying reconnecting poor quality when both users have full wifi signal with nothing else running in the back ground taking up bandwidth. What's the deal an it seems like I am not the only iPhone user that I have come across that is having this problem iPhones ranging from the 4,4s,5,ipad2 and ipad3 users seem to be having this same issue is there a fix. If not is there a way to go back to the 5.0 iOS that was alot more stable with no issues.
Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
Its Working Great! -
I installed iOS 6.1 to my iPhone 4s and the next day, the battery drained in about 6 hours, where it used to last all day or longer. I also noticed today that it is running very hot. I disabled location services to see if that would help but it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!!
I have the same problem since updating to 6.1.1. The battery has never been great but since the update it is ridiculous. It drains by 40% in an hour with no use at all and all background programmes closed.
Please fix this!
