Shuts down when held with one hand or tilted

My Macbook Pro recently started shutting down if it was tilted on my lap or if I grabbed it with one hand in the middle left hand side. It is very weird and any explanations as to why this is happening would be appreciated.

I know it's always like that .. how about trying to nail the scenario well so you can demonstrate there ?maybe catching it on video ???

  • InDesign shuts down when dealing with Arabic

    The program shuts down after approximatelly 30 seconds as soon as I start playing with the font - changing to Simplified Arabic etc.
    The same problem occurs on two seperate computers, where CS was installed  - work computer where I'm using a purchased version and home computer where I have a trial version installed.
    I didn't seem to have this problem until I downloaded a script for RTL.
    Now I have donwloaded the Arabic version of CS6 with an in-build RTL option and the problem is still present.
    English materials work fine.

    Um. This post is full of guesses.
    I am going to guess that under Edit -> Preferences -> Clipboard Handling you have "All Information" instead of "Text Only." Is my guess correct?  Because copy/pasting RTL stuff from Excel has been problematic for me in the past when Excel's native styling made it into InDesign.
    I would furthermore guess that:
    1) it worked before because the RTL text flow was turned on in Word, and that info carried across on the clipboard, but
    2) now when you try to turn on RTL text flow in InDesign it's freaking out on "Left to Right" versus "Default direction" properties
    So my final guess would be that a change in workflow will end the crashes. It's a long shot, but I would suggest that you either
    1) Only File -> Place documents, never copy/paste
    or
    2) Change the Clipboard Handling settings to Text Only, and continute using your copy/paste workflow. But the text will always flow in the wrong direction until you apply one of the RTL paragraph direction scripts.
    I'd strongly sugggest that you abandon the habit of copy/pasting complex-script text. It's a disaster, really. Most of my complex-script workflows tend towards trying to strip as much Word garbage off of text as I possibly can, all the way down to raw Unicode text when I can do so, and then placing those stripped-down files into Word.
    When I can't do that (when I need to preserve some parts of Word formatting), one trick that I've used in the past is to have character styles called "Overt LTR" and "Overt RTL" in Word when I needed English words in the middle of Arabic paragraphs, and vice versa. This is necessary because InDesign has a setting that I don't think Word has: "Default Direction." So in a mixed paragraph, it will try to apply LTR to Latin script and RTL to Arabic script. This causes problems of all kinds, especially when you have mixed numerals (e.g. phone numbers in Arabic numerals, but all other numbers in Hindi numerals).
    But since Word and InDesign handle complex and RTL scripts quite differently, there will always be some pre-InDesign hygiene necessary, and some significant cleanup within InDesign once the text is in.

  • Phone shuts down when pairing with bluetooth

    I've had a Samsung Renown for a while and just installed a new hands free device in my car. When I pair the phone with the HFD or pair the HFD with the phone, it connects, then the phone reboots and the connection is lost. Any ideas ?

    I researched your issue with the phone resetting when pairing to your vehicle, and I have some good news!  It appears that there were some problems with pairing via Bluetooth to vehicles using the old software on the device.  You can view your software by going under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> SW / HW Version.  
    The new software is u810.DE01.  If you have any version besides u810.DE01, you will need a software update to fix the issue.  If your current version of software is u810.CE14, you can most likely update to u810.DE01(the new one) over the air. All you need to do is go under Settings & Tools> Phone Info> Software Update> Check New.  You will then be prompted to update the software.
    If this over the phone method does not work and you have u810.CE14 as your current software or you have an older version of software than u810.CE14, please take your phone into a Verizon Wireless Store to have it flashed with the new software.  In the software update notes to the u810.DE01 software, there are very specific details about it resolving issues with pairing with vehicles.  This sounds like an open and shut case of a software update.

  • Why is iChat shutting down when trying to video-conference with Windows?

    My friend and I are trying to video-conference.
    I use an iBook G4, with an iSight.
    My friend uses a HP Pavilion ZV5000.
    For some reason, my iChat shuts down when it's connecting.
    It'll connect for one second and then, my iChat will close.
    I don't see what's wrong :(!
    Help me, please!
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi Bill,
    Yes I saw that kellyRAWR mentioned that they were using AIM.
    And Tony explained about the AIM 5.9 issue.
    I was merely offering another option that she may not know about, since the AIM->iChat is flaky at best.

  • Safari shuts down when I try to do anything connected with bookmarks...

    I can't import any of them from IE nor add new ones...What to do?

    There are experienced and helpful people here who run Safari under Windows. Be patient--this isn't chat and Monday mornings tend to keep people busy with work.
    Allow me to offer a suggestion that might help you get noticed by the right contributors: Before 15 April 2011, there were separate forums for the Mac and Windows versions of Safari. The new forum software unfortunately lumped a lot of stuff together. So....
    ...were I using Safari for Windows, I would insert "Windows" in every title I posted here so those people most experienced with it can see your post at a glance, rather than having to open the hundreds of new posts every day to find the 20-40 that are about Safari for Windows.
    For this thread, the title could look somthing like this:
    safari (Windows) shuts down when i try to print
    or
    safari for Windows shuts down when i try to print
    Hope this helps,

  • Why is my phone shutting down when the battery is @ 94% doing anything with it? Is the recent upgrade a chance to get us to buy and Iphone 4?

    My I phone 3ga 16gb shuts down when I open any app and surf any webpage unless plugged in to the charger. I have 94% battery and as long as I don't do anything with the phone except answer it when I get a call it will stay on. I recently upgraded it to the 4.3.5 os and was wondering if that is my problem? if it is how do I get it back to an older operating system?

    Highly unlikely that 4.3.5 itself is the problem as there would be millions with the same problem... there are not.
    Restore your 3GS from your backup.  If still a problem, restore as new, i.e. without your backup.  One of those will most likely solve your problem.  If not, you may have a defective battery.

    Hi ohmghimire,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you're seeing unexpected behavior when using USB devices, try resetting the SMC on your MacBook Pro:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the article with these steps here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    If you still see this behavior after resetting the SMC, or your computer won't turn on, try the steps in this article next:

  • Reader X shuts down when trying to open more than one pdf, or when clicking certain categories in settings

    Until a few weeks ago I have never had a problem opening more than one pdf at a time. Now Reader just shuts down when I try to do so. The same thing happens when I click on the yellow highlighted categories in settings. All the other categories open fine.
    Appreciate the help of anyone who can help me solve this.

    I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
    The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
    You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

  • If your iphone 3gs just shuts down when theres something wrong with your hardware,is there any possible way to get all your pictures back?

    if your iphone 3gs just shuts down when something went wrong with your hardware is there any possible way to get all pictures or other important stuff onto itunes?

    What happened to the phone. Did it just go black? Did you try to plug it into Itunes and see if it can be seen or throw it on the charger. You can still try the reset procedure listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 and see if the phone turns back on.
    The only way to get things back is to have backed them up ahead of time.
