My mac keeps shutting down without warning
Can anyone help. My imac will suddenly turn itself off, this happens when I am not online and I can start it again immediately.
What model iMac do you have? G3, G4, G5, Intel-based? How old is it? What OS are you running, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, etc.
It sounds like your power supply is going bad. Here's a link to an old discussion with a similar sounding problem:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/1938289#1938289
This may or may not be a repair that you can do yoourself, depending on you iMac model. I've never had to do this repair so I can't help you out that way.
Good luck.

Mac pro keeps shutting down without warning
I have a 15 inch Macpro running Mac OS X Lion, version 10.7.3. It keeps shutting down without any warning. The screen just goes black and I have to press and hold the power button for a while till a hear a sound to turn the system off. This is happening like, more than 5 times a DAY. Please help, any suggestions are welcome.
Dose this issue happen when the computer is plugged in? or only when it's unplugged from power?
Have you checked for software updates? if so, have you installed all the updates? (apple menu, software update, install updates, reboot, repeate untill there are no more updates)
If the issue is happening while power is plugged in, have you tried a SMC Reset and NVRAM Reset?
Is there any thing externaly connected to the computer besides power? if so, haveyou tried removing those items; to see if the issue only happens while those devices are connected?
Do you know if yoru MacBook Pro has a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT? (apple menu, about this mac)
Do you have any kind of keyboard cover? if so, have you tried removing the keyboard cover, dose the issue still happen?
You could also try running an Apple Hardware Test. If it give you any error codes; I would suggest writing down the exact error message it displays.
Also it might be a good idea to set the graphic card to run on the high end card; and see if the issue still happens. (apple menu, system prefrences, energy saver, At the top there should be a check box along the lines of use best graphic performance at all time, check this box) -

thanks very much for the help; the problem only started after I upgraded to Mavericks and started immediately after that. I have seen that there are other problems with my GPU particularly the icons on my desktop decaying. My computer is a mid 2010 CPU, it backs up automatically to our AirPort
In any case here is the full error message:

Mac is shutting down without warning
Hi.
Yesterday I suffered a freeze on my Mac pro (early 2009). After this, I couldn't boot from the original boot disc (verbose mode gave an error about a missing file called BootCache.playlist). Luckily (I thought) I have Time Machine and a second, cloned drive, so I booted from the clone and continued to work.
Overnight, I restored a Time Machine backup to the orignal boot disk, but this failed to boot also, so I continued to boot and work from my clone drive (this is a work machine, and I'm on a deadline). I decided to wipe my original boot disc, and use Carbon Copy Cloner to restore my boot drive from my clone drive.
This appeared to complete fine, however, this also refused to boot, and when booting with the Alt key held down, there was no recovery partition (just a somethine called 'EFI' something). So, continuing to work from my clone drive, my Mac suddenly started shutting down again – no warnings, just a brief freeze, then black screen, booting to the 'You Mac unexepectedly shut down ...' message. This happened repeatedly, usually about three minutes after booting up.
I've now resorted to reinstalling Mavericks (10.9.2) onto my original boot drive, in preparation for a TM restore – however, as a double-check, I thought I'd do a quick Disk Utility check on the original boot drive, seeing as my Recovery partition had now been reinstalled, and I get an error saying "The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system." DU can't repair it though – it just says "Live file system repair is not supported".
Does anyone have any experience of this EFI warning / error, and is there any way around it?HI Arthur.
I did think that the EFI warning could be a spurious error (I've had a few such errors before).
In desperation, I wiped my original boot disc, installed a fresh Mavericks OS, and then restored from TM, but from a backup before the original shutdowns occured (luckily I have multiple backups for my working files). I had to leave this restore over the weekend (it's my work computer), but it appeared to have worked this morning.
I've been very careful in what I've done since, trying to keep an eye on any processes, apps or combination of things that could trigger a shutdown, but – so far – I've not been able to replicate the issue. It may be that a vital system file became corrupted during my work or during the kernel panic – hence the repeated panics – but I don't see how that would explain the same issue on my clone drive.
I'm also being exceedingly vigilante for any signs of disc issues, just in case the EFI warning is an issue.
Interestingly perhaps, I was using Illustrator CC at the time, and I've had experience (or rather a colleague has had) of Illustrator files causing the Finder to freeze, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Adobe / Illustrator / CC related. I also know that the graphics card in this particular Mac pro is a little buggy, and I've had GPU-related kernel issues in the past, too.
Hopefully the problem won't resurface, but I'll keep this thread open for a while, just in case.
Thanks again Arthur. -
IBook g4 keeps shutting down without warning! Help please!
Hi everyone,
The problem in brief (as I'm scared the laptops gonna shut down again and I'd have to restart)
- I just upgraded my Tiger to Leopard
- Everything WAS running smoothly for approx. 4 hours, then as I was playing around with iTunes, the mac shutdown
- I had to restart it but as soon as I logged in, I was told "My Time and Date is set to a date before 1970", and that I was not connected to the Wireless.
- Just as I was connecting to the wireless, it shut down again.
-Once again I turned it on, and the same messages appeared. This time I managed to open safari before it shutdown again.
- I took out the battery, and used the AC power, but it shutdown as well.
- The battery, which was shown as fully charged 10 minutes ago, now on the lowest green light out of the 5 green lights situated at the back of the battery pack : s
So right now I'm running on AC power without a battery, paranoid it's gonna shutdown again without warning. Does anybody know what's wrong?
Your help will be much appreciated
Thanks.
Dakota.Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
It sounds like a bad battery. Try putting the battery in while it's running on the adapter then launch Apple System Profiler (Apple Menu>About this Mac>More info) and click on battery. See what its capacity is compared to the absolute capacity (4400). If it's 50% or less you need a new battery.

Mac Mini shuts down without warning, doesn't want to re-boot again
My mini is only 3 months old. I upgraded to 2 gigs of Ram when I got it (saved about a hundred bucks). It seems to be overheating and shutting down, problem is it happens all the time. When I try to restart it, I must wait until it is cold to the touch otherwise it will lock-up and I have to manually shut it down again. I have tried raising the mini up a little to try and get some extra air underneath but no luck. Should I take it back/get it serviced?
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is it just coincidence that several people are finding this issue arise at this point in time or has an update affected it (not that I've updated anything on it recently other than installing the new version of Inquisitor for Safari).
It's just coincidental I think - and given you've not updated anything, it is therefore not an update-related issue. However, the way the G4 mini's cooling system is designed, it's entirely possible for many things to potentially contribute to escalating heat issues in the system. In the first instance, the systems tend to collect dust and debris inside and around the vents as a result of the way the airflow is directed, so cleaning can be helpful. A strong vacuum cleaner used around the vents at the base and on the back can remove a lot of material and help system cooling. There's also potential for the CPU heatsink to become dislodged if the system has been opened or subject to movement or vibration, or for the thermal paste between it and processor to degrade, reducing efficiency of the heatsink. In addition, there's a thermal pad squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the casing, designed to help draw heat from the CPU and dissipate it that way. The pad can deteriorate - it's a service part so can be replaced. Add to that the possibility for the fan to fail, and for any combination of the above to occur, and you have a number of scenarios in which an otherwise healthy Mac mini can begin to show thermal problems.
In your situation, I'd start by cleaning the system out. If you've previously opened it, I'd say do so again and take some time to ensure that all dust and debris is removed - blowing through the system can be sufficient for that. Also check the heatsink is secure and that when running, the fan is actually spinning. If you haven't previously opened it and don't want to try, try the vacuum cleaner method on the vents to see if that helps.
If those steps don't help, then it becomes increasingly likely the system needs some service attention, and the thermal pad and paste become likely culprits. -
Laptop keeps shutting down without warning because it thinks the battery is low, but it isn't.
My laptop is about 9 months old and recently it started to just shut down as if the battery were low. It is not low. It just did it now and the battery was at 80%. If I try to restart it it shows low battery and won't start. However, if I remove the battery and reinsert it, it starts up fine. Or, if I plug it in for a moment to start it up and then unplug it it works fine. The battery obviously still has plenty of juice left, but the computer is misreading it somehow. Although it still shows an accurate reading in the task bar. Any thoughts? Thank You.
UltimateBid,
Thanks for the update. I do not see anything on my end that talks about it, you can try to update the BIOS and see if that resolves the issue, otherwise I would recommend service possibly.

2006 Macbook running 10.6.8 shuts down without warning
It's a 2006 Macbook (I bought new in 06) running os x 10.6.8. Up until 6 months ago no problems what so ever with the computer. I would be working and every once in a while, it would just shut down. Replaced the battery less than a year ago. Power supply (60w charger) had a short, so I replaced that about a week ago. Computer is still shutting down without warning. I did the 1.1 update on the OSX but it still acts up. I'm lucky to be able to use the computer right now (it's been running for 20 minutes...this time). Would it help if I upgraded to LION, or would it still do it then? Any help please...I'm a musician and it's my livelyhood.
Thanks,
DavidWhen a Mac shuts down without warning, it's doubtful an upgrade will be the fix. You need to find out what's causing the problem.
Check the startup disk.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If Disk Utility reports errors, restart the Mac while inserting the install disc and holding down the C key simultaneously. From there you should be able to repair the startup disk.
No errors were found, run the Apple Hardware Test > Using Apple Hardware Test
If installed, anti virus software can cause system anomalies such as an unexpected shut down. -

My G5 Power mac keep shutting down
Hi,
All of a sudden My mac keeps shutting down, I have installed nothing recently no changes nothing for months
and all of a sudden it keeps shutting down.
Check the hard disk using disk utility and it says it appears to be okay
CPUs running at 60 to 62 degrees
please help
JohnI believe -122 is a power issue...
Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange problems...
See which one your G5 has...

My MacBook shuts down without warning. Recently installed snow leopard. Battery is fine. Any ideas?
My MacBook shuts down without warning. I recently installed Snow Leopard and increased my RAM/Memory. My battery is fine. When I took it to the Genius Bar and they ran a diagnostic, nothing showed up. It appeared fine and did not shut down during the time I was in the Apple Store. Of course, once I made the two-hour drive home, my computer shut down within two minutes of using it. Any ideas? Do I need a new computer? This one is about 5 years old.
Sounds like a buggerd battery chip. If the MacBook turns off at a certain percent all the time, then your battery's status chip is damaged and is (quite literally) lying to Mac OS X.
If it is actually hitting 0%, then temperature could be an issue or a there may be an issue with the battery itself.
My advice: you may need to get a new MacBook as a new battery for 2006-model MacBook may be hard to come by (and defintiely no warranty support from Apple). -
MacBook shuts down without warning during calibration (39% battery power)
My MacBook has been shutting down without warning during recent calibrations (which I've done approximately every two months). Most recently it shut down after 2 hours and 20 minutes on battery power with a battery reading of 39% -- i.e., nowhere close to the 0% of a fully rundown battery.
The result is that:
I'm not seeing the 'low battery' warning dialog before the computer shuts down; and
(ii) I'm not able to save current work and close all applications when the battery's charge gets low, before the computer goes to sleep (because it just shuts down without warning)
Can I do anything about this? Is it just an unavoidable indication of declining battery performance?
My MacBook is 15 months old. Current 'battery information' is listed below.
Thanks. Replies appreciated.

First low level warning: No

1. I'm not sure how to match the path you listed re: the '1.3 battery update' to what's on my MacBook. Maybe I just don't understand how to interpret it, but I don't have a root folder (or any other folder) identified as 'MacBook.' When I used Spotlight, I also didn't come up with a BatteryUpdater.bundle. A file named BatteryUpdate2007001.pkg was all that Spotlight turned up.
On my MacBoook my hard drive that I boot from is named Mort's MacBook. Yours may be similar I don't know. It is the drive you boot from. Mines shows in finder as the top level drive. The next level in column view. Then you find the System file and go from there.
If your not sure what you named your drive or which one it is click the apple in the upper left corner and then pick *About This Mac* You then should see *Startup Disk* and next to that the name is what you refer too when you look for the folder path I gave.
2. You recommended resetting the SMC. However, the info file you provided a link for says it shouldn't be "necessary except as a last resort in cases where a hardware failure of the power management system is suspected." Does that accurately describe the condition I reported? Also, the problems listed as possible reasons to reset the SMC don't include the one I posted about.
The reason I suggest resetting the SMC is that your changing one of the components that is controlled by the functions of the SMC. The battery is a big part of the system which the battery update changes. To get it to be sure to recognize the new bundle you reset the SMC. The instructions linked are not all inclusive but if you don't want to reset it that is up to you.
3. Similarly, re: the 1.2 Battery Update, it's not clear to me that any of the listed 'symptoms' of a faulty battery apply in my case -- unless what I reported indicates a "+low charge capacity/runtime+." Does it?
The battery update instructions are again not all inclusive. If you don't want to do it that is fine. All I know is you have a MacBook Pro update installed at the moment. You don't have a MacBook Pro. This suggestion of mine has helped many people with problems as reported by you. You do not have to do anything you don't want. That is your choice. Is your battery cutting off at 39% considered normal operating or capacity to you? I personally would call it a faulty battery, but thats just me.
What would be your definition of a faulty battery?
4. Apparently, you had a faulty battery which Apple replaced. I wasn't sure from your message whether you had other things going on that made it clear you had a faulty battery, or only the same symptoms I reported. Were there other power-related problems in your case, or only, as you wrote "the same thing as yours except mine cut off at 28%"?
I guess I misunderstood your original post, everything yours was doing mine was doing except mine cut off at 28% not 39%. I can only give advice on what you post. Are there other things happening that you didn't mention?
My idea of a faulty battery must be different than yours. If I don't get warnings I should and the battery does not work like it used to then that is a faulty battery in my opinion.
If your not comfortable with any of my suggestions contact Apple support and maybe they can help you. Possibly one of the other posters on here can give you different advice that you agree with. Never do anything advised in the forums unless you agree with it. -
Hi,
this is a bit of an awkward problem – not sure if someone can help me out.
I work on a MacPro (early 2008) but have updated it with two hard drives (SSD) and 24 GB RAM. So it works pretty well.
The computer is connected to a battery back up because we have lot's of brown outs in my area. My computer battery got fried 2 years ago (after a black out) and I think I have a third party battery now in the machine.
Everything has been working fine these last two years but now my Mac keeps shutting down and tries to start up again without success. I tried to find the problem and tested a new external battery back up, which wasn't the problem. I check our electrical outlets. They seem to be OK, though the electrician found out that they weren't wired properly – so he fixed it. And it works fine for a week. During that week I unplugged the computer from the outlet so that the internal battery can drain. When I stopped doing that and left the cable in the machine over night, the problems came back and the Mac kept shutting down. So my guess was, that there is something wrong with the internal battery of the computer. The strange thing is that the Mac works fine when I plug it with an extension cord in an outlet downstairs. This is confusion since there might be really an electrical issue in our home (?)
Then two days ago I realized that my memory RAM shows up only 12 GB instead of 24 GB. So I took the RAM out, dusted everything and put the RAM back in. The Mac was back at 24 GB.
So far the Mac hasn't tried to shut down on it's own. The cable is plugged in in my office outlet; not the ones which worked fine downstairs but I unplug it over night; just in case. As you can see, there is a lot of confusion in finding the problem. Perhaps the shut downs were related to the RAM? I'm just concerned that the problems come back.
Has anyone a clue what the problem is/was. Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Thanks for you input.I assume that you realize there are cheaper and now better FBDIMMs should you need to narrow down and find any that are offending?
Often heat and dust, and FBDIMMs run hot, age, go bad over course of time. New ones run cooler, that helps.
That you have now probably a 900W or higher, 1500VA UPS, and that you should not have to turn off, leave it on, shutdown or leave the Mac running, up to you.
Resetting the SMC and NVRAM probably done more than enough. USB devices are also able to cause erratic behavior. Been there and done that.
We also have a fair share of power oddities and UPS is a must - all my TVs and such have one, any electronics and floor lamps.
But you also want your modem, router, and important equipment on UPS too, and I found my old APC would interfere with modems and routers, my new-ish Cyberpower do not and work fine so I feel more protected (having had a modem problem is no fun, it was semi functional, semi not (illiterate) if you will (now have spare modem and router too). If you don't filter the RJ45 out of the modem, there can even be too much for the router or the RJ45 ports is what APC told me in a conversation years ago.
3,1 has been more prone to shutdown issues. So yes there are - some early versions of 10.8 for some, for others it was that they upgraded from 10.5 on and had never made a clean break esp. when Lion dropped support for older Rosetta dependent code.
