Since yesterday my iPhone 3gs won't shut down automatically. How do I fix this issue?

Yesterday I was using my iPhone with google maps to find some places I needed to visit. First thing I noticed was that my battery had gone from 100% to 26% in a very short period of time. Then I discovered that it wasn't going into its usual standby mode and nothing I could think to do has corrected the issue. I turned it off, I did the reboot. I checked all my settings. Any suggestion to fix this issue? Thank you.
Oh yeah, I did read 5 pages of posts trying to see if this was a known issue but didn't want to go further.<G>

Some crappy software you have installed caused your Mac to shut down. Boot into safe mode and see if you have a kernel panic log in Console, System Diagnostic Messages. If so, post it here.

My mackbook air won't start it shows the gray startup screen with a loading bar then just shuts down again how do I fix this?

All it displays is the gray loading bar like it is updating then it gets a quarter of the way through at which point the wait circle appears and the computer shuts down. I need to get my computer working for college again anyone have any suggestions. I did the hardware test an it shows me a -1007D

You probably have some type of hardware failure. The only people that can fix hardware failures are Apple or an authorized Apple repair center by replacing the part or parts that have failed. So you'll need to take the system into Apple to be diagnosed and repaired.

My Itune match doesn't work. When it tries to update, it stalls on step 3. If I don't cancel it, I get a window saying "Itunes has stopped working" and the program shuts down. How can I fix this???

When my Itunes Match tries to update, it stalls every time on the third step "Uploading remaining songs and artwork". If I don't cancel it, very shortly I get a message saying "Itunes has stopped working" and then Itunes shuts down completely. Is there a fix for this? I have the most recent version of Itunes. HELP!

My desktop picture keeps changing after each log-out or shut down. How do I fix this?

I have a new MacPro, and I would like to stop my desktop photo from changing every time I shut down, or lock my computer. It's truly annoying.

Close all windows and quit all applications.
Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
Look for these three files.
com.apple.screensaver.plist
com.apple.desktop.plist
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Right click each one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
Restart the computer.

it basically turned into my brother's iPhone 4, since I had synced his phone with my iTunes once before
so...
will it help to restore my phone to factory setting?
or ... is there any sort of automatic backup on the cloud service?
& if I restore my phone, is there any way to keep the apps I've payed for?!

Since update to v4 chatroom page will not update automatically. how can i fix this?

Since the update to V4.0.1 when using prodigits chat, the chatroom page displays a warning bar stating ,Firefox has prevented this page automatically redirecting and an allow button.
Pressing allow does refresh the page, but only once! Using the page's manual refresh button also works, but this is really annoying! I have tried enabling/disabling cookies but neither has any effect. Please help me get rid of this pesky bar!! thanks in advance.

Thank you John99. I used a combination of your suggestions above. The "Reset Firefox" worked the best, after I did a System Restore!
Thanks for your help.

the thing is that when i did the clean install they did check with a hardware test first and nothing was wrong, i guess it was a false-positive, is there anything in the kernel report from which i can say it's either hardware or software related

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

This is most often due to faulty battery. Apple Genius can perform a quick several minute battery diagnostic test. Make Genius Reservation.
