Shuts down, Z60M with Windows XP

My Z60M is about 3 years old, it has never been opened or modified. It's not a heavy use computer and has the original battery. I have had it in a docking station with dual monitors on and off for 6 months. It has been working fine until a couple weeks ago when it just shut down. No lights were on so I undocked it, pulled the battery, reinstalled the battery and still not lights. I pulled the battery and plug it in directly, lights came on and it ran fine. I re-docked it without the battery and started shopping for a new battery. It worked well for a week and then, it started again! Docked with no battery, just shutting down from 5 to 10 minutes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks...

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer.

When an internet connection is available, I run iTunes and it shuts down on my Windows 7 64bit computer. It used to crash when I went to the iTunes store but, after installing the newest version of iTunes it crashes if there is an internet connection. I can turn off my internet access and then run the software but, once I try the iTunes store again it crashes. It does not give an error message as to why its doing this. Just says it encountered a problem. I cannot do anything with my iPad or iPod without this working. Its extremely frustrating.
I have also contacted Apple several times and they give me links to other's problems but, none have worked to fix this.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

Iphone usb cable shuts down laptop with error any ideas why

every time i unplug the iphone usb cable it shuts down laptop with an error,i'm running windows7 on laptop and get a blue screen error.

This is a common problem with corrupt USB drivers. Try using a different user account, and make sure that you eject the device properly before removing the iphone cable. I don't know what system your running so I can't link you to any USB drivers, but google is always your friend. If all else fails, un-install itunes, re-install it again, back it up with all your documents to a USB drive, then re-install windows 7. Not pleasent, but possible.

How can I shut down when printer window is locked?

How can I proceed to shut down when printer window is locked?

Thank you, i will try this option. Only thing is i did read another person having this problem and he did shut down his computer and now his photo library in unaccessible!!! Ugh. I do have an external back up hard drive. I sure hope that my photos are on there to reload into iPhoto!!!!
I did try to place my mouse over the iPhoto icon @ the dock and held down the control key with no results in shutting down the application.

Shut down maintenance with revision codes

Hi guys,
For creation of shut down order, revision is needed, in IMG we can create revison (Revision is created with planning plant number and revision number and start and end of revision dates.) and this number is to be mentioned in order, could you plz tell me what is revision code and where revison code is used.
As per my understanding shut down orders with revison numbers can be used again and again, for easy identification of shut down orders for particular operations are to be carried out at the time of shut down processing, is it correct understanding??? If i am wrong please correct me and give me the entire shut down process with use of rivision code.
Thanks,
Bhanu

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 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". I replaced the power supply, reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM, but the problem continues. Can anyone help me?

My 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". So far I reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM. I even replaced the power supply but the problem continues. My error and system logs seem unhelpful too. Can anyone help me out?

You can get a shutdown like that if the computer gets too hot. Make sure the air intakes on the bottom and the exhaust vent on the top are clean and are not blocked by something in your workspace like papers or the back of the computer being too close to part of the furniture. You need a good six inches (15cm) of clearance between the exhaust slot and other objects or surfaces.
Anti-virus/internet security software, especially the "pay for" kinds, can increase operating temps. So can third-party backup software furnished with many "name-brand" external hard drives.
Fan motors and/or temperature sensors can fail. If you have the original grey disks that shipped with your iMac, find the on that has Apple Hardware Test (AHT) and run it. If you have a failed heat sensor or fan motor, it will detect it with an error code containing "SNS" if it's a bad sensor or "MOT" if its a bad fan motor.
AHT instructions here:

Mainly Firefox shuts down my browser window with all tabs intact; sometimes it throws up a dialog box that threatens to close all my tabs--why?

I would like Firefox to let me close my browser window retaining all of my tabbed sites. Usually it does this with no argument '''but''
sometimes it pops up a dialog box reminding me that I'm about to close multiple tabs....
I do not want to shut down multiple tabs, '''but''' I do want to have Firefox restore all these tabs (7 or 8) when I next log on, so that I can continue to work on these sites without having to look up their URLs each time!

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

How do I prevent windows from shutting down ITUNES with a Data Protection Execution error when trying to sync with my Iphone 4S in a 32 bit windows environment?

I first was not able to install ITunes 10.5. Apple upgrade installer caused a data protection execution error and windows reverted the process back to the original software. I then removed ITunes through the control panel ap. I removed Bonjour and quicktime. I could not use the windows uninstaller to remove the apple upgrade installer and had to find a fix it program on the microsoft web site to fully remove this program. After doing this, I was able to load and install itunes 10.5. However, now when I try to sync my new 4S phone, the sync only goes to the 2nd or 3rd step before eliciting a DPE error and causing itunes to shut down. I tried making a new user profile. Opened I tunes in the new profile and began to search for music on my computer. The program again elicited a DPE error. I looked to see if quicken was still on the computer and maybe causing a hangup, but it is no longer installed. Ok, I am at wits end and have spent much too much time on this issue. Please help.

I was able to finally stop ITunes from crashing after many days of searching n restarting my computer many times.
a) First I went to this site ->http://forums.techarena.in/guides-tutorials/1119812.htm that showed me how to disable DPE. Please make sure that u have good virus...etc.. protection first before doing this. I have Avast Internet Security. RESTART UR COMPUTER..
b) I then uninstall ITunes by following this site ->http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923 RESTART UR COMPUTER..
c) I then downloaded a beta version of ITunes. I happen to download beta 7 before the final of 10.5 version came out. Installed it. After installing I click on it n it said somewhere along the line of "this ITune ver. expired" I checked in my Programs n Features n notice that QuickTime was installed w that beta version.
d) Go online n download the final version of ITunes ->http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ ...... After u finish dling install that. After that's done connect your IPod, IPhone...etc... n click on ITunes, it should sync all the way.
I was finally able to sync all thru the steps insteading of it crashing on me midway. Hopefully this will work for you. Good luck !

Why would you want a start button to stop something?
Seriously, I would not routinely shut down your Mac. It is not necessary. Just set it to sleep in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
When you are not using it, just walk away. Things will work better that way. Most of my Macs don't get shut down except while restarting them for software updates. This might be once every couple of months.

Z77A-G45 start up-shut down loop with more than 1 stick RAM

New Build, personal use and doing it myself:
BOARD: MSI Z77A-G45
BIOS: *?* click-bios reports "E7752IMS V2.5", but "MS-7752 VER: 1.4" printed on board?
PSU: Thermaltake 850-watt Black Widow 69A 12v rail
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K BX80667i73770K - Quad Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 3.50GHz, 77W, Unlocked, fan included, no extra cooler yet
MEM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B 2x4GB 1600 MHz, 9-9-9-24, PC3-12800, 1.5V
HDD: WD Blue WD10EALX 1TB, SATA 6Gbs, 7200RPM, 32MB Cache
CASE: Thermaltake VN770M1W2N Overseer RX-I Full Tower
OS: Win7 Pro 64-bit
System bought as bundle including the 2x4GB Corsair RAM. Assembly went well but took me a long time to make sure I had it all right. Then, nothing happened at power-up, no lights or anything. My first reaction was to replace the included Thermaltake power supply (700 watt 52A 12volt rail) - I disconnected all power to the unit and removed the original psu and, on a whim, I booted up with the original power supply outside the case and the lights came on with the psu laying on it's side! Got the start-up and shut-down loop (lights up and spins all fans for a few seconds, then shuts down and repeats ad infinitum), which I was not expecting. Replaced the original power supply with the Black Widow (specs listed above) and got same shut-down loop.
Started checking the memory sticks one at a time in DIMM2, each produced that shut-down loop. Also tried with two sticks of Patriot Viper 3 PVI316G160C9K 2x8GB 1600 MHz, 9-9-9-24, PC3-12800, 1.5V (which doesn't appear on MSI's compatible list...but I had it handy) Then, With the last 8GB Patriot stick in DIMM2, I finally let it go through that shut-down loop 5-6 times out of frustration, and then it suddenly powered up "normally"!
I took advantage and have smoothly installed Win7 Pro, and mobo drivers from CD, no glitches, USB working fine. Then tested each stick - all 4 RAM sticks work individually in DIMM2, but the board will not accept a 2nd stick in 4 without that same shut-down loop (tried using either matched pairs). Manual specifies using DIMM2 and 4 (which are the black ones) for dual channel. Have also tried slots 1 and 3 (blue) with same shut-down loop results, no BSOD or error codes, not even any beeps. Computer boots normally and runs Win7 just fine with one 8GB stick in DIMM2. Also boots Windows and runs fine with one 4GB Corair chip in DIMM2.
Have done CMOS clears and also re-seated the cpu and heatsink/fan, and all pins and board connections looked OK.
Have some problem getting into the BIOS screen to look at things - seems to boot up so fast with a re-start that Delete key and F11 don't quite catch before Windows starts (8-year-old Logitech USB keyboard?). Have to completely power down and start up to get into BIOS, but that doesn't always work either. System recognized the memory change to the Corsair stick, but the screen went by so quick I couldn't catch it to get into BIOS.
Questions:
1) I've searched this board and read for hours about similar shut-down loops problems, but either nothing seems to match my particular quandary or I don't know what to look for. I don't understand what's happening with this shut-down loop - since all four sticks work individually in DIMM2, could DIMM4 slot be defective and I need to RMA the board?
2) I have not yet removed the board and tried to start it outside the case - could a short be causing the 2nd slot to malfunction? Standoffs are built into the case but they didn't seem too low, and the amount of standoffs matched the mobo mounting holes wiwth nothing else protruding. It's a really solid board that did not bend when being attached. It's also possible to look down behind the board with the front cover off and see that nothing is touching it. Will breadboard it next, since I have to take it out, anyway.
3) Where exactly is the Bios version printed on the board? Click Bios reports version as 2.5 but appears that 1.4 is marked on the board. Have done no updates of any kind, only thing I did was disable the splash screen so I could see POST (like I could read that fast...!). Do I need to contact MSI to find out what Bios version actually shipped with this board? It's OK if I got an older board with updated BIOS, but it's confusing when something different appears to be printed on board.
Additional info: Phase lights - LED is lit and all lights flashed at boot-up. CPU temp running for three hours idle is steady 37-38C, mainboard system temp 25C. Went with a larger power supply because I intend to use Crossfire and more drives in the near future, but using onboard video for now. System to be used for graphics/video processing with multiple programs running.
I'm currently working from an ASUS M3A78-CM board with AMD Phenom 9650 2.4 GHz. I've never dealt with an MSI or an Intel system before, and the Click-Bios is something new to me. Alas, I'm not an expert, but I've followed the basic steps I knew. What did I do wrong, overlook or just plain don't know? I sure would appreciate another opinion before I give up. I'm amazed at the speed of this motherboard/CPU combo - it's probably more than I need, but I'm intrigued to figure it out.
Looking forward to those opinions,
Jilliebob

Do this, and while it is in the open re-examine your cpu pins w/ a bight light and hd zoom or a magnifying glass.
Thanks, xmad, I'll look at th CPU again tomorrow/next day under the glass when I take the board out. I already checked them under magnification and was leaning toward a funky board, but it never hurts to re-check. Eyesight is not what it used to be, for sure (I miss DOS, if that's a clue...). Don't want to flash the BIOS if not necessary, since it runs Windows fine and everything works except that RAM.
Bernhard, I don't have CPU-Z installed on that machine and don't want to install anything else until it's working normally. I'd never seen Click-Bios before and just need to get over my initial suspicion of something new! Also learn my way around it before I change anything. I'd never encountered a board reporting a bios different than printed on it. I've never messed with manual memory settings or done more overclocking than just a little exploratory and suprisingly successful nudge - if you could point me toward a good basic explaination of all those settings, I could learn from there.
Appreciate your input very much.
Have learned a lot just reading the threads here for the last few days. This is the best forum I've ever encountered. I'll report back - some suggestions in other posts resembling my problem ended with no resolution, and that's a shame because one doesn't know if it worked or not.

Cannot shut down completely after windows 10 upgrade

Since I upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1, my laptop started to have problems of shut down/sleep uncompletely (the power light is solid and on). I have to force to shut down and reboot. Occasionally it works OK, but most of time won't work well. I found many reports regarding this type of issue of HP laptops. HP Technical Exports, pls help!ThanksFulong

**I have posted this in another area with the same issue** YES!!!!! A Solution that worked. Spread the news. It has to do with the Intel Virtualization Tehnology. Didn't know what that was until this issue came up in Windows 10. First, find out if this is your issue. 1. I installed the 'Intel Processor Identification Utility' directly from Intel.2. After installation, open the program and go to the 'CPU Technologies' tab.3. If it says 'YES' for Intel Virtualization Tehnology, proceed. Solution...(at least on my system) 1. The next thing you have to do is go into the BIOS. If you have not done this before, proceed at your own risk. You need to restart the computer and enter the BIOS (for me I hit F10 at the HP screen)2. Within the BIOS, there is an 'Advanced Options' section3. In this section there is a line for 'Intel Virtualization Tehnology' and it will say enabled or disabled. My computer said disabled.4. If this is the case, change the option to 'ENABLED'; then SAVE and EXIT from the BIOS. The Computer will restart and from that point on Shut Down, Sleep, etc. has worked. WOW this was a frustrating issue. Almost went back to Windos 8. I take no credit for this solution, I pieced it together from other posts on this issue. Hope this helps.

SHUTTING DOWN IMAC WITH 10.9 & MBA issues

Anyone esle having these problems: NOTE ON ALL PRODUCTS
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MID 2011 iMac 21, 16g ram, shutting down with OS 10.9. Pinwheel truning but not shutting down.
I am also seeing the "spinning ball" when moving through different applications or pages within applciations that I had not seen on the previous OS.
Furthermore in regards to my portables; I have two 11" MBA, (mid 2011 4g ram & mid 2012 8g ram and unfortunatly this is not consistant) there seems to be a ghost image (or faint reverse image would better discribe it) of the desktop wallpaper (the universe which I prefer over the wave) on shutting down both of the portables. This did not happen under 10.8.5.
I spoke to Support yesterday who walked me through disk repair and repair permissions and restart in safe mode, however, this morning the iMAC (which was in sleep mode last night) would not start up to the log in from sleep or recognize my trackpad, this is the second morning this has been a problem. Shutting down still seems to be an issue with the imac.
These are defeinelty software issues that need to be addressed in the OS ASAP.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I tried (on both user accounts):
1. Flushing all the caches using Onyx
2. Deleting the 'com.apple.desktop.plist' files.
3. Switching each user account to non-standard resolutions and back again.
The lack of the rotating cube effect is not the worst of it, as about 50% of the time I switch accounts I get an 'empty' desktop in the account I have just switched to, and I can only get the desktop icons to appear again by switching back and forth a few times. Extremely frustrating.
I am starting to think this is yet another bug in Mavericks or a problem with the graphic drivers for the new GTX 775 / 780 cards.

Multiple Start up/Shut down times with Tiger?

Is there a way to schedule my Mac to start up and shut down at multiple times during the week, instead of just the basic options the Energy Saver Schedule gives me?
I start-up and shut down my computer through the Schedule during the week, but I need to run a virus scan on the Saturday when noone is around, and I really don't want the computer on all day on both Saturday and Sunday.
There used to be a shareware app called iBeezz that worked great in Panther, but they didn't develop it to work with Tiger... so are there any other options?
Dual 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi, Crave —
Here are results from a quick search of versiontracker. The last utility on the list, Mac Restart X 1.0.1, claims to be Tiger-compatible.
I haven't tried it. It may help others if you post back to summarize your experience. Scanning the developer's overview, shutdown doesn't seem to be mentioned (Duh?) — so you may have to contact the developer for clarification...
Regards,
Dean

ITunes Shuts Down Over Microsoft Windows Error ALL the time - Help

I've never had this problem until ITunes 7 (and I've had an Ipod for 4 years), but now 1 out of 3 times that I open ITunes, it crashes and shuts down after I get a Microsoft error message - some unexplained problem which I've let Microsoft know about through an error report several times, but they haven't done anything I'm aware of. Sometimes this happens when I've been using Itunes for a while as well - very frustrating. Had anyone else experienced this, and is there a remedy? Thanks!
