Power Outages shut down Fios for 24 hours??

I have had Fios for a few years now, and every time that there is a power outage, even if briefly, the Fios internet goes down and will not connect after power is restored. There is then a beep from the box in the garage, and the light has then been moved to an orange color. It takes about 24 hours for the box to reset, generally the next morning it will work.
My boyfriend has the same Fios box, however when his power goes out at his home, this situation never occurs and the internet will come back as soon as power is available.
Is this normal? Is there a way to fix it. It is an incredible inconvenience and am tempted to switch just for that fact
Please help!!.

The beepin on the ONT means that it is still running on battery power, definately call the FSC (Fiber Solutions Center) if it is still beeping. They will most likely have you make sure that the outlet that the box is plugged into is getting power and no breakers were tripped. If all is ok on your end they will most likely send a technician to get this repaired.

How to find out why my MBP will always try to shut down after 1 hour

Dear all,
this is a question too complicated for me to answer; I have previously tried to solve this problem in a usenet forum (comp.sys.mac.system) - but we didn't get it solved there, and I finally gave up on it. However, it still persists, and it is so annoying that I want to try another approach on it this time using the Apple Discussions Forum.
The problem is as follows: my relatively new (bought in december '09) MacBook Pro 13" (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) has a problem: always when I leave it untouched for one hour, something within the system would try to make the computer shut down (system halt). Please note right that this seems NOT to be a hardware-related issue (al least not simply a bad mother-board or sth. similar - there are a lot of threads about MacBooks that seem to shut down immediately, like fainting - this is not the case here). Instead, the system behaves like anytime when a user-requested shut down is invoked - for example, the running applications would check if any changes should be saved, and ask questions. The only thing is: I did not request a system shut down, and even more: I do not WANT the system to shut down. In fact, this whole problem is extremely annoying, since it constantly messes up my open documents (e.g. the TextMate workspace I usually set up, or similar things), forcing me to reestablish my workspace at least once a day. Over time, this can be very annoying for a computer that's used for work!!
During the course of my earlier discussions in the forum, we tried to find out what makes the computer go down - looking through the system log files etc. - but to no avail: we couldn't trace back the event that has caused the system to invoke the shut down procedure. However, it seems that this issue is related to the Mac operating system, and not the hardware - and this is why I ask this question here (and not in the MacBook Pro section). It may be that we simply didn't look in the right place - or not with the right tools - and I hope that there may be some people here with some new ideas how to trace the reason for this procedure. Everything I can tell now with some certainty (and I couldn't do it before in the usenet forum) is that the shutdown seems to be invoked about one hour after the system has been left untouched by a user (no key strokes, no mouse movements); I know this because I use my Mac for a wake up call now - and, since I sometimes need more than an hour for that, I can tell that this problem causes iTunes to quit one hour after the Mac has booted (which makes my wake-up music to switch off... and some of the running applications with no changes to save).
It would be very important for me to solve and remove this annoying problem, and I think that this really shouldn't happen! Needless to say, I haven't set the energy savings settings such that the system would shut down after one hour (in fact, I have set the system to always stay on when attached to a power supply); still, the problem prevails.
Does anyone of You specialists have a good clue or smart suggestion where (or probably how) else to look to find out what causes the shutdown? Thanks a lot for taking the time and considering this annoying problem!
Best,
Björn

Yes - it is a bit frightening... Had other Macs before this MacBook (Pro), and never experienced such a problem. Don't know - of course I look into the Preference settings from time to time, and maybe I have changed that setting on the other computers... it never occurred to me...
What an annoyance such a simple decision to make the auto-shutdown after one hour a default can be! Probably, Apple reconsiders :-D I'd rather prefer an auto-lock of the account (instead of an auto-log off)... but I believe it has been expressed often enough that, in this particular case, the - pardon me - Windows-solution (to offer a simple lock of the account, the Windows-L-key combination, IIRC) is much more practical... to copy that behaviour under Mac OS X, You'd have to go through lengths...
Anyway! Pondind, thank You very much!!! Solved a kind of embarassing, but huge problem of mine!
Best,
Björn

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!

Unfortunately this means that there is a problem in the boot sector of your hard drive. It might be indicative of a fundamental corruption in the coding that allows your computer to boot your operating system from your hard drive. I had this problem twice and it resulted in me having to get a new hard drive and restore my data.
In other words, your computer can't talk to your operating system so you can't access your data.
Here is my advice: DON'T CALL APPLE TECH SUPPORT though they are kind and usually helpful it will take you an hour just to explain the situation and they will only tell you to do what I'm gonna say here.
First: Shut down your computer completely
Two: boot up while holding down the following keys: command, option, p, and r. The computer will reboot 3 times. This solution will likely fail so if you're frustrated skip to the next step.
Three: Boot up while holding down the option key. Select recovery drive. Select your default language. Select disk utility, click on Macintosh HD, and select "verify and repair volume." Likely the verification will produce some line like "unused node not erased." Or something like that. If anything using the words "node structure" comes up, you need a new hard drive.
If after verification and repairs you still can't boot I sincerely hope you have apple care because you will need a new hard drive. Set up an appointment to come in to the apple store, they will tell you to go and get data recovery, just ask them to give you the old hard drive. Unless you have an up to date backup in which case you can just restore from that. If you're lucky the only issue is with the boot sector which means that if you ask them to give you the old hard drive, you can buy an enclosure and you have effectively been given a free external hard drive. It still works to store data just not to load an operating system.
If you have a back up drive bring it to the apple store and they'll do the whole thing right there, it should take around an hour and a half but may take longer.
Hope this helps, it's annoying but it's your safest bet.
All the best.

Mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use

mac book pro, overheats and shuts down as 2 hours the use

Hi, I am facing the same issue.
Did you able to solve your issue? Please advise.

Im trying to erase all the data on my iPhone, it has been on the shutting down screen for about 10 minutes will it ever cut back on

After I clicked erase all data on my iPhone 4S it has been on the shutting down screen for over 10 minutes.. Will it ever cut back on?

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

Toshiba Qosmio X500-12N Shuts Down/Restarts for no reason

As the title says. This started happening some months now. It always happens when I play games, watch Twitch.tv streams or watch XBMC. I took my laptop to the local Toshiba store and told me that the fans were faulty and needed to be changed. They wanted to charge me 300 dollars for it so I decided to order a brand new heatsink with fans included from the internet for 100 dollars. I changed the whole heatsink with a brand new one and it keeps shutting down. They also said that there might be a problem with the hard drivers and that's what causing the problem. What do you guys think is the problem?

Hi KyriakosMenelaou,
I experience this issue before when im playing LOL [Legends of League] my laptop shuts down/restarts for no reason while im playing the game.
I tried to install the latest directX support for my video graphics and update the latest version of my video graphics.
Patch the latest video graphics driver support for the game. If you are using ATI or NVIDIA you can directly go the this website to download the latest video driver.
Until now it works perfectly fine w/o a problem.
But what if the issue still persist?
I might say that you need to do system recovery.
But what if the issue still persist?
I might say that you need to replace you internet hdd.
Hope this will work for you. ^_^

Re: Satellite A215-S7444 just shuts down after one hour of usage

I have a satellite A215-S7444.
My problem is that while i'm on the computer after about an hour or so the computer just shuts down.
I have already tried changing the power manegment settings which worked for awhile but my laptop still turns off after awhile.

Hi Patrick
Im quite sure that your notebook shuts down automatically due to the high temperature inside the notebook.
Its a simply overheating issue which could be caused by clogged cooling grilles.
From time to time its advisable to clean the ventilators. Mostly the dust prevents the cooling modules from properly working and therefore the temperature increases.
I made good experience with the compressed air spray. Such sprays can be purchased from many computer/notebook dealers.
Additionally you could try to google for some online offers too.

G4-450 dual back from repair shop: new power suply shuts down on its own!

Hi
My G4 450 Dual died on me a few months ago, i went to a Apple authorized repair place and was charged over 200 euros+ for a new Power Supply, Obviously they never tested the computer at all before installing it, i know this because when i took it home it started shutting down by itself.
When i took it back to the guys at the shop i was told that it was on all night and it does not shut down, but yet the firewire bus was dead and its due possibly to the logic board and would need to be replaced!
They tell me this after they installed a power suply and charged me money when i asked them to give me a estimate first, now i dont want the pwoersupply all together, do i have the right for my money back for the power supply, i agreed to pay them to test it for the charges of a hour.
please advise anyone..

You are definitly entitled to your money back, they sound like cowboys...

Windows 8.1 Pro Workstations - Not Getting "Install Updates and Shut Down" notification for new updates

We've got a small handful of Windows 8.1 Pro workstations on our domain (SBS 2008).
The workstations show up in the WSUS Console list along with the details of how many updates need to be installed.
On the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations, at the logon screen they display "Important Updates Are Available. Go to PC Settings to install them". If we go to PC Settings or Windows Updates via Control Panel the updates show as awaiting installation.
However, we can't rely on users to go into PC Settings or Control Panel to install Windows Updates. We need them to be installed as per Windows 7 and Windows XP - whereby when the user shuts down their workstations it displays the message "Install Updates
and Shutdown".
Currently the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations do not show this - if you choose to shut down there are no update installation messages and the workstations simply shut down.
Has anyone else encountered this? What needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.
I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

It does sound weird yes.
Id like to try and mirror your setup in my lab.
What settings do you have in your WSUS GPO?
Have you seen this, in the 'Configure Automatic Updates' setting?
On Windows 8 and later, you can set updates to install during automatic maintenance instead of a specific schedule. Automatic maintenance will install updates when the computer is not in use, and avoid doing so when the computer
is running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for 2 days, Windows Update will install updates right away. Users will then be notified about an upcoming restart, and that restart will only take place if there is no potential
for accidental data loss.
Automatic maintenance can be further configured by using Group Policy settings here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Maintenance Scheduler

Sleep or Shut Down? 4 hours a day usage.

What is easier on the hardware and system… shutting down or sleep mode? I use my imac about 4 hours every day.

As the others have said, sleep is better for the machine. In your owners manual (bet you didn't' read it did you ) it says:
_Put Your iMac to Sleep_
*If you will be away from your iMac for less than a few days, put it to sleep. When your iMac is in sleep, its screen is dark. You can quickly wake your iMac and bypass the startup process.*

WebLogic shuts down after 4 hours

Hi:
WL 5.1.0 sp 3
SunOS 5.6
J2 1.2.1_04
I run my application under load for 4 hour and then the server throws a
bunch of exceptions like:
ListenThread.run() failed
<UTILS> UnsyncCircularQueue was full!
when it runs the expand command on the queue. After this it just shuts
down.
Could anybody provide an explanation how this mechanism works and if
there are any tuning parameters to control the size of the queue.
Thanks.

Pl see earlier postings on the same topic (under the subject "WLS dies
during stress testing").

My Magic Mouse is frequently loses power and shuts down. Is there a problem, or am I gonna have to buy a new mouse

Hey. We've had the Magic Mouse for about a year. We bought it along with our iMac, and now it's losing power really quickly or shutting down. What's up? is this commpnplace, and we have to buy a new Mouse (do I got a Deadmau5?)? Is this just our mouse, 'cause if it is, then that's good.

Hello:
FYI, there is no such thing as a "short battery."
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
If that does not help, the mouse is probably failing.
