My PPC G5 Mac Has Been Randomly Shutting Down...
Is there anything else that it could be besides the power supply? It's happened maybe once daily for the last week or so... Always powers right back up though. Are there any tests and such that I could run to get more information? Any help appreciated!
Well, it could be several things. First, when your G5 freezes the fans run high because your OS is no longer controlling them. Since it doesn't know what temp your Mac is running at it goes to a fail safe mode...runs high fans just in case you are overheating.
First, try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
If it's still freezing it may be the following;
The original Apple Pro mouse cable frays in the chord just as it exits the mouse, over time, and shorts out causing symptoms similar to yours. You can't see the fray by looking at it thru the exterior covering. This can happen to third party mice over time too.
Mine did it. I plugged it into a different port, so the chord exited the mouse in a different direction, and had very few freezes after that. Once I got over my frugalness (cheapness!) I bought a new one. Eventually it got to where I couldn't even work for more then a few minutes without a freeze.
So, try a known good mouse to see if that's the problem. Perhaps borrow one from a friend so you don't purchase something you don't need.
Don Archibald, a Level 5 here, said the USB ports on the keyboard (for you desktop users) are underpowered and can cause this problem also if the mouse is plugged in there. This can even fry the keyboard sometimes (happened to him). Try plugging your mouse into a port on your monitor or tower.
If you still have trouble post back! You may need a stronger utility then.

I evaluated the internal temp (using Istats pro) and it is at 86.5 degrees feh (about 22 c*). Is that normal? What tools can I utilize to ensure that the internal system prevents from overheating. I have the Mac running on a cooling fan.

A.) I accidentally hit the solve problem when responding to your comment... Is there a way I can undo that?
AS Ralph indicated, the system does not allow for that.
B.) I will post the Istats screen when I get home from work.
My concern is that the temperature you reported is abnormally low. Thus I would like to see an image of the temperature monitor. In sounds more like Centigrade.
Also post an image of Activity Monitor showing ALL PROCESSES and % CPU displaying values from high to low. This way we can determine if the temperature readings reflect the activity being performed on the MBP.

My Mac has been randomly blacking out and is unresponsive.
My Mac has been randomly going to a black screen during use and becomes unresponsive. Usually I can get it going by pushing the button on the back, but this time it is not working. I have even unplugged trying to reboot. Any suggestions?
Yes ML latest build. It's very random. I have checked temps of power supply etc and they seem ok, not too high. It basically loses connection on the ATV as the iMac and iTunes has shut down. I can straight away switch it back on and no crash reports are visible in the folders or console. It's very annoying when watching a movie as you can imagine.
I posted the content of the console here https://discussions.apple.com/message/23414478#23414478 -
Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
Ever since we down loaded the new iOS , my I pad has been crashing, shutting down & freezing ? Can u tell me what's going on.
You may want to try this:
1. Backup iPad
2. Setup iPad as new. Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
3. Test iPad thoroughly
4. If everything is fine, restore backup to iPad -
Please help!
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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, 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.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
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.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
I have a 64gb ipad mini that's been updated to iOS 7.0.4. Lately it's been shutting down in the middle of almost any app and the screen goes black and then the apple logo appears as if I've done a hard reset. I've tried both soft and hard resets but with no results. Sometimes thes happens several times in a row. Does anyone have any ideas? I did read discussions and close running apps to make sure there is enough memory. In the past this sort of happened (rarely) and it just left an app and went to the home screen, but this is a total shutdown.
I think you have covered most of everything that you could possibly do at this point other than restoring the iPad iOS software. That's what I would try now. If that doesn't fix it, make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask a genius to evaluate the problem for you.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
My Mac has started to shut down unexpectedly since we installed google chrome. Any ideas?
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and also installed Google Chrome. Since then our Mac will shut down unexpectedly. Any ideas?
Hi, lindafrommendota.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your Mac restarts unexpectedly after the install of Google Chrome. Here is a troubleshooting article that will walk your through some steps for this issue. However, since this issue started once you installed a specific program, I would uninstall this program and test the results.
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."
Cheers,

It has also gotten rid of the "personal hotspot" option. How do I get that back?
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Restart / Reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Backing up, Updating and Restoring
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

MacBook random shut down (again)
My MacBook has been randomly shutting down for the last week, regularly but unpredictably. It's a number of years old at this point, but has rarely given me problems. The battery is long since dead, so I have had to have it constantly plugged in. I've tested with other adapter cords, but the shut-downs still occur. I anticipate it must have something to do with overheating? Any insight for how I can fix this issue, or whether doing so is even worthwhile?

Both drivers can be causing kernel panics but start with removing the Soundflower driver first then restart your Mac.'
If that didn't help, remove the BlackBerry driver as well then restart to test. -
My 8x has been randomly shutting down as of about a week ago. I updated the phone, performed a soft reset and hard reset and none of that has helped. Has anyone else had the same issue?
Yes Geordan_Ganka,
I have an HTC W8 phone (WP8X). There appears to be no rhyme or reason for the shutdowns. Sometimes, I'll just reach into my pocket and pull it out, press the power button - and realize it's OFF, when it had been ON when I deposited it earlier. Other times I'll be actively using it (typically Pandora) and it'll just power-down - I do see the "Goodbye" screen. It doesn't vibrate or make noise when this happens and it's sudden. I would say the phone shuts off about once daily, if not more frequently than that. I refuse to use the phone as an alarm clock because of this and it has resulted in a multitude of voice mail, which I'm not pleased with as the phone is my only line.
Do these symptoms sound similar to your power-down issues? -
MBP randomly shuts down without warning
Lately my MBP has been randomly shutting down when not plugged in to charger.
No warning, battery isn't low (usually about 50% charge), and the machine just turns off completely and won't turn back on until I plug it back in.Here's what that shows (not sure what to look for):

MBP randomly shuts down every few hours (while plugged in)
MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2009
3.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Battery has been shoddy for a few years now. Only lasts about 15-30 minutes, but I just use the power cord.
Recently, the MBP (with cord plugged in) has been randomly shutting down every few hours. Immediately prior to shutting down, the status bar says the battery is fully charged, and I can unplug the cord, and there are no issues. When restart the computer, the battery will now say it's anywhere from 0-60% full.
The fact that the MBP shuts down even with the cord leads me to believe it's a logic board issue. If that's the case, what's the best option?
I figure I can either:
1. Replace just the battery and assume the healthy battery will weather any logic board lapses
2. Replace both the battery and the logic board
My local Apple Store said they could replace the logic board and battery for $300 total.
Is this necessary, and if so, is it worth buying the parts and trying to replace myself?Yes, it's the flat-rate depot repair.
Ok, you've (mostly) answered my primary concern... I was wondering what would happen if it turns out this isn't a logic board issue, and if my $310 would go to waste. The thing is that, right now, my MBP appears to be working perfectly fine until it randomly shuts off, which can take a few hours. So, if the depot replaces the logic board + battery, the MBP appears to be working there (I can't imagine they'll test it for more than 5 minutes), the depot sends it back, and after hours of use, I still have the same issue, I'll be able to get a refund, yes?
If so, I'll probably just opt for this deal since replacement parts on eBay appear to be about the same price.
Thanks for the help! -
