Shuts down completely and randomly

Hi. I recently purchased this iMac thru eBay and the seller accurately described the fact that it shuts down after a while. Everything runs perfectly until without any warning, I'm looking at a blank screen. I have put in a brand new battery as the clock was defaulting to 1970. My other 2 G3 iMacs run in the same room, from the same power point just fine.
All suggestions gratefully received.

There are three possibilities that I see here:
1) the iMac could be overheating. this is not common, but the iMAc is designed to shut down if it gets too hot. Make sure the top and bottom of the machine have adequate ventillation.
2) There was a batch of slot loading iMAcs that had power buttons that tended to get slightly stuck. this would cause random shutdowns. The solution was a bit of sand paper taken to the hole for the power button.
3) A very common cause of this is simply a bad power cable or bad connection with the power cable. Double check that before anything else.

  • I tried downloading the iOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it finished downloading it shut down completely and it said there was an error and no the iPod is in recovery mode. What can I do to restore it and update it? Please, I need help.

    Hello,
    I recently tried downloading the IOS8 to my iPod 5th generation and when it was almost done the computer said there was an error. Right after that, the iPod shut down completely and now it's on recovery mode. I plugged it in and it said that I had to restore it and update it so I could use it again but it doesn't let me. What can I do? I even did a backup before the update.
    I really need help.

    What happens when you connect to computer and restore via iTunes?
    Without knowing that:
    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I have updated my ipad 2 and it has shut down completely and won't do anything ! Help

    I have updated my ipad 2 and it has shut down completerly I can't even switch it.  any ideas???

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

  • When I remove the battery charger my computer shuts down completely and won't start until I plug the charger back in

    When I remove the battery charger the computer completely shuts down and won't start up without the battery charger. I have to restart all my windows when I turn it back on. Before it would just go to sleep and if it was charged it would come back on without batter. Any suggestions on what this can be?

    Any suggestions on what this can be?
    A dead battery.  Buy a new one.

  • Angry birds rio quit working on my ipad.  When I try to start the game, it shuts down completely and goes to the main menu screen.  This started when I downloaded the latest app.  The other angry bird games still work.  I really need help.

    Angry birds rio quit working when I installed the latest app.  I even uninstalled it and started over.  When I try to start the game, it goes back to the main menu.  I need help badly but in simplest of terms so I'll be able to follow.

    Have you tried closing the app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Angry Birds 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Angry Birds app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • MBP 15Inch Shuts Down Frequently and Randomly

    I appreciate if anyone taking a look at this report can shed any light... I've checked previous replies and tried most of the suggestions... but the problem persists... Short of going to buy a new one... what can I do (I live in Mallorca, Spain... and while there are authorized technical suppliers here, they inform me that it will take at least several weeks to check the equipment and determine a solution). I don't have time! Thanks in advance,

    You have the Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro, and the log shows that your NVIDIA GPU is damaged. "GPU Panic" means that the GPU is damaged.
    Mid 2010 15-inch MacBooks Pro have got a defective NVIDIA GPU that may cause unexpected restarts, black screens, kernel panics... See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Apple is repairing all of these MacBooks Pro free of charge if they were purchased less than 3 years ago, so make a backup of your files with Time Machine and take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. Print the log in case Apple refuses to repair the MacBook.
    Send the link to one of the resellers there because Apple should have told them more about the replacement program. Anyway, you need a new logic board, so if resellers haven't got it now, this may take weeks.
    As a temporary fix, download gfxCardStatus > http://gfx.io Then, open it and put it in integrated only, so your Mac won't use your NVIDIA GPU anymore. You will experience a GPU performance decrease

  • My iPad randomly shuts downs apps and safari...any suggestions? The pad it's self doesn't shut down..it just closes the page or app I am on..

    My iPad randomly shuts down apps and Safari...any fixes for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps might help. If you are using the iPad 1, low memory issues may be causing the app and Safari to crash.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Definitely do this - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
    If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

  • My ipad2 shuts down completely after I press the sleep button and does not start.... Help please

    My ipad2 shuts down completely after I press the sleep button and does not start.... Help please
    This started since the latest update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Alkaf,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPad will not turn on. Take a look at the iPhone article linked below, it provides tips that will help resolve power issues for both iPhones and iPads.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • Random shut down issues and more, apple recieved puter today, on hold

    Ok so i have all the signs of a bad logic board or messed up puter. Mooing, random shut downs, dies during screen saver, and dies when lid is closed. I sent unit in yesterday, they got it today. Website sai on hold for infomation. So I gave them a call. They said they reseated the ram and its working and what else was wrong. I told then the mac genius did this twice and did all the other reset, then i got it home and it died again. There gonna start running more tests on it, i told her to tell the tech of the terminal thing to do to cause shut downs. ANd i told her of this post. She was extreamly nice to me and said there going to take care of me. they have had it for one afternoon, so i cant yell yet. I did ask that they replace the unit and send me a new one, she said they will run a more tests and go from there. I pointed her towards this forum as im sure many of you have and she said there going to and have been checking it out. So I guess there ontop of the issue. My bigest fear was getting the unit back andhaveing same problems. But hey thats what customer service is for so ill give applecare there fair chance first. Ill keep ya updated.

    here another scientist.
    Firmware is reversible by reflashing it ... it just
    need another set of istruction in binary package.
    My ISSUE is related ONLY with firmware,
    mathematically.
    Actually that's only partially true. It's only reversible by reflashing if someone has released the "reflash" package, which Apple has not. And so long as the changes it made allow a rollback of sorts. Many firmware updates will very clearly state that they can not be removed or undone. So... in your case, the previous poster was correct... it is impossible, through software to reflash your MacBook firmware
    Go ahead and try to even reload the firmware, your MacBook knows it is already updated and will not allow the firmware to be reflashed.
    Please, put your energy towards some other project, the SMC Firmware update, no matter how "coincidental" the timing of your RSD was, is not the root cause of the RSD.
    BTW - I will echo the same comments about your experience with the so called Apple Genius, he's a tool
    Call Apple or go to the Store and speak with someone else, in fact ask the Apple Genius if he is familar with the MacBook Random Shutdown. If he is not, ask to speak with one that is. The Apple Genius I spoke with was indeed familar with the problem and was simply great in processing my repair. Every instance so far has been related to a hardware problem.
    Good luck
