Subject: HP Pavillion zd8000 shutting down still after full cleaning

Like many my screen has a bunch of lines on it, but recently it started shutting down after 5 minutes of operation or so on top of that. The battery hasn't worked in years and the LED on the A/C adapter wasn't on, so we bought a new A/C adapter. Still shut down. I tore it apart to clean it, sure enough it was filthy. Now it's nice and clean inside and STILL shutting down. HELP!

Do you still have the "lines" on screen? You probably need to replace the graphics card. Did it just shutdown or you have a blue screen?

Macbook pro 2.33ghz shuts down still after new battery.

I recently got a new battery for my macbook pro because it was randomly shutting down when not connected to power. The Genius's said the problem was the battery separating from the aluminum or battery warping. Anyway, that didn't seem to fix the problem and I have since had problems with the computer shutting down without warning when not connected to power. So I took it back to the genius's who kept it for 24 hours to run some tests which turned out no useful info. The Genius then suggested a clean install of leopard to see if that would solve the issue. I have since done the clean install of Leopard and still have the shutting down issue. Any idea of what the problem could be? The genius did mention the logic board as one possibility. I think that is like $800-$900. Anyone have any less expensive ideas? I'm not sure it is worth replacing if the problem is the logic board and it costs that much...
Oh yeah, one other symptom: my fans are constantly running at 6000rpm with one or no apps running. Even right now after a restart and just running safari they are running at 6000rpm.
Thanks in advance. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

You might want to run the Apple Hardware test--the fact that your fans are running all out may indicate that your thermal sensors aren't working or may be disconnected. So you might well get an SNS type error. Run the extended version. If you do get one or more error codes, that would be a more specific indication of what the problem is. It is way too easy to just blame the logic board--best to try some troubleshooting first.
I'm wondering if a malfunction of the thermal sensors might make the Mac think it was too hot and might be shutting it down to prevent it from damaging itself? Maybe that's also why the fans are running so fast? It's just a theory, but the fix should be cheaper than a logic board. And the AHT should be able to find something like this.
Good luck!

Macbook shuts down unexpectedly after an hour of use

I've had my MacBook since 2006, and I've had some minor problems now and then.
But since few days ago, my mac shuts down unexpectedly after I use it for about an hour.
at first I thought that maybe it's the fan, cause I've never cleaned the fan since the day I've bought it and my mac gets pretty hot after a while. but it used to work just fine when it got even hotter.
now I'm guessing maybe it's the battery? I've also never replaced the battery to a new one, cause I've almost always used power adapter instead of using battery alone. but I think I've heard it somewhere that the battery still dies even when you only use power adapter. is this true?
I usually just turn mac right back on when it shuts down, and it goes well for about 30 mins and then it shuts down again.
could anyone please be kind enough to tell me if it is the battery that's causing this such a frustrating problem? I don't know if this would help figure out the problem, but this is what battery info says,
Battery Information:
Battery Installed: Yes
First low level warning: No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh): 3674
Remaining Capacity (mAh): 3648
Amperage (mA): 0
Voltage (mV): 12443
Cycle Count: 105

Thank you so much for answering! I've actually read your answer to other similar forum, and have just installed iStatPro. it says that my fan is "exhaust" and at 0rpm. do i HAVE to replace the fan to a new one? can I just open up my mac and clean out the fan? if so, would you recommend this instead of buying a new fan? one last thing, if I buy a new fan, is it easy for me to replace it by myself? again, thank you so much for your answer.

My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening.

Hello, My calendar just shuts down immediately after opening. I reset the ipad and it still isn't working Any ideas? iPad 2

I only kow how to disengae yahoo but maybe the process will help for other email accounts linked to ipad calendar. Just remeber to go to email accounts and shut down any associations with other programs.
Here is what I did in yahoo.mail
Went to My Yahoo
selected quicklinks (on top left of page)
Calendar was not shown , so I selected more yahoo services at bottom of list.
Candar was among many and I selected it.
You then see your calendar with a margin on left that probably shows a checked box of te name of you calendar. Uncheck it.
Also check the subscriptions. You must decide what makes sense for you there.
To be more sure, delete any recent calendar entries in your yahoo calendar or ipad calendar that might have cuased the problem. that's what happened to me. I noticed the problem right after I accepted a ics invitation from some else. I think the ics invitation that I accepteed from my email was the real culprit but who knows. All I know is that all these things combined solved my problem.
Close the My Yahoo
Remeber to check your ipad for any associations and eliminate them and point the ipad calendar to icloud.
Reboot you ipad
Check for results
I hope this helps

TS1717 iTunes shuts down immediately after opening (Windows 7)

I'm having trouble with iTunes shutting down immediately after opening. I've tried reinstalling iTunes and QuickTime, but I'm still having the same problem. Any suggestions? I have a 64 bit version of Windows 7, and the iTunes installer file has "64" in the name, so I think it's a 64 bit version as well.

Do you get an error message when iTunes shuts down? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

PPC MacMini shuts down immediately after boot, LED blinks

A client gave me his PowerPC MacMini which boots up but then shuts down after a few seconds. Unfortunately, there's not enough time to open the system preferences between booting and automatic shutdown.
I've tried to boot the computer from a system DVD and with "T" pressed for target mode, but it always boots up completely from the internal drive. Booting with "Shift" pressed boots in safe mode, but the machine still shuts down after a few seconds.
Interestingly, the power LED blinks about once per second. I wasn't able to find anything about this on the Net.

AndyO wrote:
If, on the other hand, the mini is starting up, and then failing, and the light isn't so much blinking as pulsing, then the system may be suffering protective shutdown as a result of overheating. That can be tested by seeing whether it runs longer after being left unplugged for several hours, thus being cold, than it does if it's been running (or attempted to be run) for some time, and is thus already warmed. In that event, the mini will need to be disassembled to some extent to try and identify whether the fan is running, the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced.
I have a Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo that is suffering almost the same symptoms (shut-down almost immediately after startup); however, it DOES appear to be for a variable length of time based upon how much time I let it sit and 'cool' down; therefore, I believe I'm experiencing an over-heating issue.
I've installed a matching 1GB pair of RAM about 1.5 months ago and all has been fine until now. The unexpected (which is now expected) shutdown after startup is occurring on both Mac OS X 10.5.2 and Windows Vista (on Boot Camp partition) ... of particular note ... the Windows side shuts down more quickly (likely due to it not having the same system monitoring/energy handling tools that would be available to the Mac OS X side ... so I would suspect it to over-heat sooner on the Windows side).
Successfully completed Hardware tests (simple & extended) reported memory and other system hardware was fine. 'Check/Verify Disk' on Mac/Windows side reported no issues with either partitions.
Attempts to reset the PRAM and SMC have not solved the problem.
There was one instance, after startup, that the fan ran at full speed continuously and noticed that the power light was not on at all ... at the time, I was on the Mac startup disk and it stayed up and running for about 20 minutes or more until I decided to shutdown and test the Windows side. Upon restart, the fan did not run continuously, and the Windows side shut-down shortly after start up.
Overall, I'm fairly convinced it is an over-heating problem. If anyone has any ideas or reference material to confirm or how-to-do "the CPU heat-sink is firmly attached and the thermal pad which is squeezed between the underside of the logic board and the base of the system is replaced" that would be greatly appreciated.
I am not ruling out sending the machine into the retailer for servicing/diagnostics; however, if there's a relative quick fix so that I don't have to identify and remove confidential/sensitive info first, that would be preferred.
Thanks.

My imac 20.5" is shutting down unexspectedly after about 10-15 minutes of use.

My Imac shuts down unexspectedly after about 10-20 minutes of use. If I unplug the power and wait for a period of time it then boots back. Not sure if there is some type of sensor that detects heat and then shut down the computer as a safegurad. Coudl the sensor or some other sensor be decting a situation that automatically shuts down the computer?

That's extremely unfortunate. From what I've seen, this could likely be a logic board problem. Just to make sure it is not some kind of software issue, do you have another computer that you could download a linux distro such as Ubuntu? If you do, please get a blank CD or DVD, and burn the distro of linux to it (but not just like you'd burn a normal file, if your on a mac, you do it by opening the DMG (linux distro) that you downloaded with Disk Utility, then burn it from there. If you have a PC, I can give you further instructions, or you can follow the instructions for burning the CD on Ubuntu's website (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download) and scroll to step 2, or you can order a free ubuntu cd, but that can take weeks to arrive.
After you have your CD burnt, insert it into your iMac, restart your iMac, and boot from your optical drive during boot by holding down the C key as the computer is starting up. Eventually, the Ubuntu main install screen appears, and select, using the arrow keys and the enter key, the option for trying Ubuntu on your computer before installing. This will start up a live environment of linux that is running on your computer off of your RAM and off of the CD, but has nothing to do with your hard drive. If there is no shutting-down issue in Ubuntu, then you could try mounting your main hard drive from linux, getting all the files you need either uploaded to the internet or copied to an external drive, then re-installing your iMac's software from the original restore discs, then installing all of your software again. If you have a program from Adobe that you paid for (aka not Flash player and stuff like that) say, Photoshop, you need to deactivate your Photoshop license before you restore your operating system, or else you'll have to contact Adobe support because your product may complain, on reinstallation, that your license is already in use.
If indeed the shut-down happens while you have Ubuntu booted up, then it is a hardware issue, such as the logic board, in which case your best option would be to take it to Apple and have it fixed, especially if the iMac is still under warranty (Applecare, considering the age of your iMac if it is not one of the 21.5 or 27 inch). Replacing the logic board yourself would involve a lot of work on your part, and you would likely break another of the delicate parts inside of the iMac if you don't have the proper tools and aren't too caught up with the anatomy of your iMac.

Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again...without no error information

I have Adobe Premium CS5 for MAC. My Dreamviewer CS5 opens but shuts down right after first view again and again. With no error information.
I have tried to download it again (web download link) with reopening the computer, but still it does not work.
Did not ask any serial numbers at all so I assume I was able to "smell" existing program on computer.
As Dreamviewer is part of bigger package, do i have to install only this program, web design set or what?
Do I have to download some other programs to get it work? All other graphic and web programs open and work properly.
What to do? Will it install it again if not uninstalled first?

For something like this, I would try clearing the program cache first: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Then restore preferences if the cache trick didn't work: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6
And finally, if neither work, reinstalling using the cleaner tool instructions here: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

IPad mini shuts down unexpectedly after ios7 why.

My mini shuts down unexpectedly after installing iOS 7. Happens during app use, email, web etc. no warning and takes 1 to 2 min to boot back up.

I have JUST started experiencing the same problems where I'll insert a DVD and the computer may or +may not+ shut down unexpectedly in the middle of playing. When I try to restart with the dvd still in the laptop, it may also shut down again before I can successfully log in. This has also happened with several different DVDs over the last 4 days, so I don't think it's tied to the DVD itself...
I also have the computer on, plugged in, with the battery taken out, and with an external harddrive and mouse plugged in. Are the peripherals making it worse?
I bought my macbook in the US with a 3 year applecare plan and am now living in Beijing, China. I would like to be able to get this issue fixed, but don't know where to begin with calling a place in China. What is the protocol?

InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support

InDesign keeps shutting down, even after reinstall. I want to know how to get technical support so I can get this fix.

I feel your pain Robert. I do believe VZW and Apple knew all along the I6 Plus would not be available on 19 Sep and that it was a way to bolster new contracts, renewed contracts and apple sales stats. It's unfortunate the company wasn't more clairvoyant, most of us would have still pre-ordered but been a little less frustrated.

MacBook Pro keeps shutting down immediately after startup chime

I booted into Windows 7 on my boot camp partition and was about to play Dirt 3 for the 1st time. I was in the options menu of the game and my MacBook Pro just shut down/turned off instantly.
I turned back on, holding in Option so I could boot into Windows again, but the computer just turned off immediately after the startup chime. I turned on again, this time I didn't hold in Option, so I could boot into OS X (my default startup volume) and the same thing happened - MBP shut down immediately after the startup chime. I tried again, same thing. I tried again, and this time it booted fine into OS X, and all seems ok.
Any idea what's going on?

Hi. When you were in the recovery drive doing permissions, did you try and run a repair of the boot drive? Did you try single user mode? Try these first and then go back and try to reinstall the operating system.When I say repair boot drive I don't mean permissions. There are both options in disk utilities.When you open disk utilities ,you will see in the left column two drives plus possibly a boot partition that look like an external driv. click on the second drive and in first aid use repair disk. If you still can't boot and it will not let you restore, you may have to do a clean install. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18869?viewlocale=en_US

Final Cut Express Shuts down right after capturing

Hello all:
I am using FCE 3.5. I have used this for about a year now and I have developed a problem with FCE shutting down right after I hit escape. I run a lab for a university and it is doing it on ALL of them so it isn't an isolated incident. I repair permissions, reset the PRAM, trashed the prefs and I don't know what else to do.
I am running imac G5's using 10.4.11 and the new imacs running leopard. Both sets are doing it.
Any help would be appreciated since our classes start soon.
Thank you.

Can you tie the crashes to a recent event: a software update, a new piece of hardware? What else is connected to the computers?
(You have, of course, triple-checked that the FCE Easy Setup matches the footage you're capturing, yes?)
After the program crashes, is the captured footage saved?
What's the lab setup? Does each student have an individual user account? On each computer?
Lots of questions, I know...
Here's a suggestion:
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Create a new admin account on one computer. Set the FCE Scratch Disk to the internal drive. Disconnect everything but the camera. Try to capture. See what happens.

Will I lose my emails I have on there? I have numerous client email files and can't afford to lose any of them. I do have everything backed up but I'm fearful of losing important client info. What if something happened during the back up and it doesn't have my files?
