My PowerMac G3 300MHz 512MB restarted automatically after shut down

The only way to turn off my G3 now is to switch off the mains. The problem still persists after clean install of the OS to 10.2.8. Also the shut-down key on top right hand corner of the keyboard no longer works. Is there a bug hidden somewhere in my desktop?

I'm thinking some hardware is causing this, do you have any PCI cards or USB/Firewire devices connected?

Oh, after turning off the mains, does it startup by itself again when turning on the mains?

ok, I see, it doesn't matter if it is antec or whatever psu as long as it is +400W with decent V12.
If I knew that before, I would have purchased the sonata with my own chosen psu.
now I will have a good 350W antec psu for nothing.......
I will purchase a new psu, some you guys are mentionning (thanx a lot guys )
I will give my whole computer to the shop, they will remove the mobo , replace it with new one (they just called me) and if the problem persists,...welcome antec full power....
I cannot do another thing than this. I don't want to blow my pc. it is running perfect except of that , except the reboots and won't starts....:D

Why does Airbook sometimes restart itself after shutting down?

My MacBook Air sometimes restarts itself after I shut it down. At first I thought I was carelessly choosing the wrong command, but now I'm clear -- it's the Airbook. Also -- I had thought this was unrelated, but now I'm not so sure -- it's been forgetting to start up automatically some mornings. And yesterday at 3:19 pm it informed me that it was getting ready to shut down, "as instructed" (the actual instruction in the Energy Saver is for midnight).

Sounds like a Broken Drive...
Most of the times this will be solved with a HardDrive Replacement
although,
you could try this
Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R).
Keep holding these keys until the Apple icon appears.
This indicates that your Mac is starting up.
After the Recovery System is finished starting up,
you should see a desktop with an OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" window.
After you do this, select Disk Utility and run it.
On the next screen,
Select the hard drive in the left hand column,
the First Aid tab on the top, and click on Reparid Disk. (bottom left)
When that is done, click on Repair Permissions.
When that is done, quit Disk Utility and restart.

After installing Snow Leopard, Reboots automatically after Shut Down

Here's what to do to correct :
Erase those 2 files : "com.apple.AutoWake.plist" and "com.apple.PowerManagement.plist" in the Directory:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
While done, shut it down. If it restarts again, just shut it down one more time. After this, it will stays quiet until you ask it to reopen.

My Thinkpad L540 restarts immediatly after shutting down!

My new Thinkpad L540 is working correctly, except that the only way to shut it down seems to be holding the power button for four seconds. In particular,
If I turn the laptop off normally from my OS (by pressing the power button or entering some command), the laptop shuts down properly and starts again after a second.
If I press the power button when the laptop is booting (on the Lenovo logo), the same happens.
If I turn off the laptop by pressing the power button for four seconds after booting and the power cable is on, the laptop also turn on.
If the laptop is off and I connect the cable, the power button blinks a few times but this time it doesn't turn on.
Any ideas of what may be causing this?
Also, when I try to suspend the computer it also resumes immediately. I guess these two issues may be related.

My BIOS has an option to switch on when AC is attached, but it's currently off. I tried to set it on and off again just in case, but that didn't work.
I installed GRUB (since the Poweroff command on syslinux don't work on ACPI, for some reason) and tried to do what you wrote (pulling out battery, pressing power button for a few seconds, putting battery back in, and issuing "halt"), but the result has been the same as always. I also tried installing the 2.6 kernel on a new Ubuntu 12.4 installation, but nothing changed.
I did order my laptop with an SSD which was originally an SSHD in the Windows 8 installation, but now I'm using it to put the root partition on my Linux installation. I'll try to reinstall Windows 8 to see if that solves anything.
I'd probably try to find my warranty at this point, but unfortunately I live in Argentina where importing and exporting technology without bringing it yourself is pretty much impossible since a) I have to pay excessive taxes for everything, b) That means the "fixed" laptop will be stuck in the central mail for a while and c) There's a 100% chance it will be stolen by some employee there. I'll see if I can get back to a world with sane commerce laws before my warranty expires

Why is my computer powering up automatically after shut-down?

My Power Mac G4 has mysteriously started to power up in the middle of the night and I can't figure out why? I am on high speed cable hook up and don't recall changing strat up functions. Any advice?

Hi, SoCal -
Resetting PRAM used to be (and sometimes still is, by "old-timers") called 'zapping' the PRAM. In olden times, like back in Mac Plus days, it was necessary to remove the battery to do it. In more modern machines it can be done via the startup keyboard command key combination of Command-Option-P-R.
PRAM retains various settings used by the Mac during startup - what monitor settings to use, clock info (time and date references), what boot volume and OS to use, and several other things. Sometimes PRAM values can get contaminated, damaged, or confused - and the Mac does not behave like it should.
Resetting PRAM reverts the settings in PRAM to default (factory original) settings. Doing this can clear whatever data corruption there may be in PRAM, forces the Mac to review what hardware is available and other configuration items, and, depending on model may (sometimes temporarily) reset some user settings (like date and time) to default values.
This can often cure some issues related to booting or resulting from changes in hardware.
There's a bit more info on that here -

Satellite 2450 turn on automatically after shut down

My laptop is a 2450 Satelite and it has started to turn itself back on when I shut it down.
I believe this to be either a power supply problem or a mtherboard problem.
Has any other users had this problem and what was the remedy?

Do you have a Network cable attached? Maybe Wake-On-LAN is enabled.
Or perhaps the LCD lid switch just needs a clean :p

SSRS 2008 R2 Services not restarting automatically after reboot

SSRS 2008 R2 Reporting instance not restarting automatically after patches install. Is there a way to resolve the issue
Windows 2008 R2 Server
16 GB RAM

Hi,
Follow this article to resolve the issue:
Reporting Services service doesn't start after the installation of MS12-070 security patch
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mariae/archive/2012/11/12/reporting-services-service-doesn-t-start-after-the-installation-of-ms12-070-security-patch.aspx
Workaround 1:
Modify the registry to increase the default time-out value for the service control manager. To increase this value to 60 seconds, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit,and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control.
3. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry.
Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must créate it. To do this, follow these steps:
a.On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
b.Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
c.Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
d.Click Decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.
This value represents the time in milliseconds before
Restart the computer for the changes to take effect. Check that SSRS services can be started now.

Motorola DROID X Restarts Automatically After I Shutdown

I have used soft & hard resets & this problem persists.
Is there a software fix for this?

Thank you Vanessa for acknowledging the problem and for Verizon working on a solution!

my iphone 5 crashes (restarts) automatically after updating to ios 7.1 anyboday facing same issues ? Need help !!!!

I am having the same issues--just got off phone with customer service rep--was told that my phone is in recoveyr mode and that I would have to restore it, however, the only things that would be restored would be from my last backup which was in November 2013! I was also told that apple users should not update as soon as the update is available (so why are they sending it to us if they're not sure that there will be any problems!!!). I can't restore now since I am in work--will do it when I go home tonight. In the meantime, I am without a working iphone for the day! This is horrible--I see I'm not the only one who has experienced this!

How to get Mavericks server that is connected to a UPS to restart automatically after a power outage.

This is driving me crazy. Is there anyone running Mavericks as a mission critical server on Backup Power Supplies that has a way to get the servers to restart automatically after a power outage. The UPS vendors all have software for Windows, but not Macs, and the setting in System Preferences, doesn't work with the UPS's Iv'e tried (2 different APC models (Smart and Back-UPs), one Triplite (Smart) and one CyberPower, (all claiming to be Mac compatible))

APC do apparently still do a command-line daemon (PowerChute Network Shutdown) which monitors over the network the UPS and will cleanly shutdown the Mac. For lower-end UPS devices these are typically connected via a USB cable and the built-in Apple System Preferences let you control the options - if it is a model supported. There is however a big limitation of using a USB connection which is that you can only connect a single computer to a UPS via USB and of course most companies have multiple servers.
It maybe that what is happening even if you use APC's software is the following -
Power failure detected by UPS
Signal sent to Mac
Computer does a clean shutdown
Power restored
UPS has no way to tell Mac because it is shutdown and Mac does not support 'Wake on LAN' if fully shutdown
The Mac does have an option to 'Startup automatically after a power failure'. However this might only take place if the Mac is not cleanly shutdown, it could be that if the Mac is cleanly shutdown it does not count this as a power failure. If this is correct then there is nothing that can be done as users to resolve this, the only way it could be resolved would be if Apple provided a way for a tool like APCs software to both do a clean shutdown and set a flag as this being due to a power failure so that when the Mac does detect the power being restored it triggers the Mac in to booting.
In the dim and distant past when Macs used ADB to connect keyboards and mice the ADB interface did support an external power-on signal. This does not exist for USB.
Personally I have regarded the APC software (PowerChute Network Shutdown 3.0.1) to be so badly supported and so old as to be too risky to use. It lists 10.7 and 10.8 but not 10.9 and uses Java 1.6 which itself is unsupported. There is a third-party tool you might want to look at called NUT (Network Ups Tools) see http://www.networkupstools.org
NUT is free and lets you do clever things like -
Connect a single computer via serial or USB to the UPS
Act as a 'server' over the network to other computers sharing the UPS
When power failure is detected the NUT 'server' sends a signal to the NUT 'clients' so all of them know that there is a power failure and can do their own clean shutdowns
This gets round only being able to connect a single computer via USB.

Mac mini restarts on its own after shut-down.

The Mac mini will restart by itself about 10 minutes after shut down. I turned off all the restart options in energy saver. Funning 10.4.8 with the latest firmware instalation.
Any suggestions how to stop this?

I have had this problem for a looooong time and I think I finally resolved it. Last weekend I was trying a demo of MacPilot 3 and found Elgato's EyeTV had two items in the Power > Events list. Apparently when you set EyeTV to start up the computer for it's schedule it restarts the computer randomly rather in a reasonable amount of time before the recording begins. Since there were two files, I think 1 was left over from previous EyeTV version and was starting up the computer even though I told EyeTV not to start the computer at a later date. Deleting both files seems to be the solution.
