New iMac shuts down but does not start as set in Energy Saver Schedule

Set Energy Saver schedule to shut down at 2300 and it does so at approx 2305. Set schedule to start up at 0700 and it does so the next day but NOT after that (have repeated the exercise 3 times - same result!).

You should not be having "Energy Saver" problems on a new iMac.
Have you tried any of the following?Restarting your computer?
Doing a PRAM zap? 
Since you are still under warranty, strongly suggest that you take full advantage of it by calling Apple tech support.  Especially if you are within 90 days of your warranty and/or have AppleCare.

  • New iMac  shutting down and starting up randomly

    My new iMac shuts down and starts up at random (over and over again usually in the first few minutes of start up). I ran a test with the TechTool Deluxe and the test involving "video" failed (all other tests passed). What do I do now? Help!!
    Thank you!

    Welcome to Discussions - if your iMac is new, it's an intel and you can post on their forum, they'll be able to he you better. However, your first thought should be to call Apple, you have 90 days of free telephone help, and a year's warranty. Since what you are describing sounds like a hardware problem, even if you 90 days are up, call Apple (they will provisionally charge your credit card, but will remit the charge if the problem is hardware related). They will take care of the problem.

  • My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again?

    My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again....what can I do?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes charging before it responds) then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My IBOOK has shut down, and will not start back up

    ok here is what has happened. yesterday my 1.2ghz g4 ibook started randomly shutting down. it would shut down and it would take a while of me pushing the power button to get it to start back up. when it would come on, it would switch between charging and not charged quite rapidly even though my power cord was in. now however, it has shut down and will not start up. the battery is fully charged. anyone have any ideas?

    I'm telling you. I have lost all faith with Apple. The old iBook I had, 800MHz G4, simply worked fine with no problem waking up or starting up, although it's just a bit slow. Now, I am super frustrated when it just couldn't wake up, either with the sleep light flashing or not, ie it's black screen initially and when I press the Power button once to get it back to life, it just stays black!!!
    So the only thing to do is to force power down by pressing the Power button for 10 seconds. Then I press the Power button once to start up, but it just stays black screen. I've left my iBook in that state for a day now, hoping that it will come back alife. But no! And the worst is, I had a similar problem starting up from wake just the day before. I called the Help Desk and they advised me step by step, from taking out the battery, to pressing OptionsCommand+PR, and OptionsCommand+OC, and doing Apple Hardware Test. The iBook seems to just work fine while on the phone with them. And barely 3 hours later, the thing just couldn't wake up. I've powered down and up many times now, and I've left it powering up, but still black screen till now (one day already).
    Finding out about resetting PMU on the support page, I've also tried that, but it still can't work.
    And you know what? I've sent this unit for repair 3 times already! First they say it's the HDD problem, so they changed that. Then when it still happened, they say it's the logic board problem, so they changed that for me. And again when it happened, they changed another logic board for me. So now, it's the fourth time, what do you think I should do? I don't think going back changing another logic board will help!
    I am in fact ****** off! If Macs are great, then why me? Why my iBook? I am telling this forum that we cannot accept a big corporation giving us sub-standard products. I've since read this forum carefully and found that many of us faced the same problem! We just cannot sit down idly and let the company get away with it. This is a warning to fellow users out there that face this same problem. Let us voice out our frustrations and make Apple give us some compensation for it. I say this because I depend on my laptop iBook for presentation to clients, and this happened exactly twice when I was in front of my clients. I don't mind losing face but can Apple compensate me for my loss of business and future business from my clients?
    Voice out strongly your unhappiness to Apple now!

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • After upgrading to a new iMac 27 my iPhone does not sync with iTunes

    After having the Apple Store migrate all my data and programs from an older iMac to a new iMac 27" my iPhone does not sync.  After connecting the phone it begins and goes to about steps 3 or 4 and then the "apple" appears indicating it is finished - however new pictures have not been transferred to the phone and updates for apps have not happened.  Any ideas?

    Your music/movies, etc will only be where you put them.

    Hi,
    Firstly, I would suggest we use Exchange 2013 FE as the Outlook Anywhere proxy server.
    For the certificate issue, it mostly occurs because the host name that Outlook are trying to access does not match the certificate SAN. Please check with this point. If they do not match, you
    can change the host name by referring to the following article:

  • I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

    I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

    Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
    One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

  • Mbp 15" does not start from set up disk

    I formatted my MBP because it did not recognize the monitor, had to attach an extermal one to view image.  Now, I cannot install the original OS because it does not start from set up disk.  I was using OSX Lion latest version

    Formatting the entire drive was rather excessive to solve a external monitor issue.
    Likely a PRAM or SMC reset would have cleared it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    10.7 Lion can only be reinstalled via the Recovery HD partition or via a external Recovery USB made in advance.
    Hopefully the Recovery HD partition is still availalbe, hold the command and r keys down while booting (with a actve Internet connection cable attached to the router or modem) and see what happens. If you get something then format the Macinstosh HD partition in Disk Utility (GUID, OS X extended journaled) and quit, reinstall 10.7 from Apple's servers with your AppleID and password.

    If not, then hold c or option key and boot from the 10.6 installer disk, use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive on the left and format same (GUID, OS X extended journaled) then quit and install 10.6, then log into AppStore and update to 10.7 again, the Recovery HD partition will be reinstalled automatically.

  • Why does my IMac shut down five minutes after start up?

    I have a 21" Imac, purchased 2010. If I don't login to a user account within five minutes of start up the IMac shuts down.  It used to go to a sleep mode.
    My OS is Mavericks, 10.9.3.  I also have the latest security update.  A message comes on the start screen within one minute.  It reads, if you are having trouble entering your password press the start button to shut down, then press again to enter a recovery OS.  If I login within 5 minutes of start all is well.
    Thanks, Gary

  • Elitebook works on battery and charges it - but does not start with it (only starting on AC)

    Hey,
    my 8460P only starts up when connected to AC power. Even with a fully charged battery it does not boot, i also have tested this with a replacement battery - but batteries are working on another Probook.
    Strange: If I unplug the AC directly after powering ON, the 8460p continues running on battery.
    What exactly happens:
    I have fully charged battery and no AC connected. I press the power button, the CPU fan makes noise (full throttle), LEDs are glowing: Wireless, Power and HDD. The DVD drive is initializing... and then after 3 seconds device shuts down - BUT the power LED keeps glowing.
    If I then press the Power button once again, nothing happens.
    But when I connect the AC back, the SCROLL LED glows for about 3-4 seconds and then turns off.
    What I did already: The well-known hard reset (disconnect everything, hitting power 30seconds): no success.
    Latest BIOS is installed. Factory defaults loaded... nothing. Played around with different BIOS settings (everything which sounds for "power" or "AC" tried...) nothing.
    This is not OS related - so updating any drivers or software does not make sense. 
    Further remarks:
    Also from the sleep modes (hibernate or S3) it will not wake up from battery... again only when connected to AC!
    Any solution/idea? please support. 
    Thanks a lot!
    regards,

  • My new iMac shuts down in the process of setting up Windows

    Hi, i use an iMac and I also have Leopard installed. Recenetly i picked up a windows xp home edition cd, and decided to check out bootcamp. I followed the instructions, and when i am setting up windows in the blue screen menus, my iMac shuts down while formatting the selected drive. And when i turn it on, it brings me back to the first set up menu. It's very frustrating because i have to eject the CD holding down the mousebutton after a failed attempt at installing. Any ideas on how to successfuly set up the windows?

    i'm having this exact problem.. whew i thought i'd have to send it in. it installs perfectly on my macbook pro. i eventually got to a point where it worked (after trying over 20 times) i hope i didn't damage my system. eventually parallels wouldn't sync with it so i ended up reformatting and am trying to get it working again.
