Suddenly prompted to shut down

My mac book will suddenly prompt me to shut down or will shut down as soon as I start it up. Any ideas on how I can solve this problem?

If About This Mac is reporting 2 GB of ram, is that what your MacBook is supposed to have, or is it reporting less? If that is less than is installed, then that could be the source of your problem...defective ram causing kernel panics.

Suddenly Weblogic instance shut down after issuing HANGUP

Suddenly Weblogic instance shut down and when I check the logs, there is no exception or error.
There is only one word "HANGUP" which is new and after that there is no logs

This looks like a crash, check if there is any file generated with extension .pid?
If yes, please paste the contents here.

Did you try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple then let go? Did you try to restore as new in iTunes on your computer?

Hi fransiscasanti28,
If you are unable to power on your iPhone you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
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 LCIs and 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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why is my Macbook Pro suddenly and constantly shutting down/crashing on me and giving me a blacked out or blued out screen with lines? Seems like a total system failure is happening?

Macbook Pro- shortly after upgrading to free software upgrade to Mavericks- 10.9.5-
has suddenly been freezing up, but went more directly to 'shutting down,' CRASHING on its own. Most of the time, if I'm even able to successfully get the laptop turned back on, it only stays up/on for a few moments before repeating the failure. The failure is often accompanied with the monitor going 'blank,' or most typically either 'blacking out,' or going blue/green or grey screen with lines or grids all over the monitor. All Desktop visibility, functions or applications in process disappears. This has caused repetetive 'forced shut downs,' which I never usually do, unless prompted to because I have no choice like this.... Or as I said, the computer itself will just shut down and turn off by itself.... Can anyone tell me what this issue is, and I'm pretty sure other Mac users have seen this exact thing I'm describing happening on their laptops, with their systems or on their monitors. Someone please explain or point me in the right direction... as naturally my laptop just went out of warranty as well.... And I don't know if this means the entire system is basically corrupted, dying/dead... and or if it is a monitor issue, a hardware issue, software issue or if there is anything that can be done to restore, repair it, etc.? Also another thing I have noticed ever since getting this laptop- (few years old now...) is that it runs VERY HOT... has in fact burned my lap /skin many times... and seems like the fan or internal operating systems/functions are also perhaps not functioning properly. Can this also be causing the problem? Or is it a corruption or virus of some kind? etc. Thank you.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

IBook g4 prompts to shut down contstanly...

My ole ibook has been giving me problems where it randomly brings up the Shut Down prompt like I hit the power button. Sometimes I can just hit escape it'll go away and sometimes I'll have to hit escape and it'll bring up the prompt 10 times or it'll just bring up the prompt and shut off my iBook.
Its pretty annoying especially since it takes like 3-5 minutes to book up the computer.
Any idea whats going on?

Hey kst and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
you need to restart your computer. Hold own the Power button for several seconds or press the restart button.
OK that sounds like a kernel panic:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392
Here's a site on resolutions:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
You could also send us the log of what was going on when the panic occurred.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2546?viewlocale=en_US
Generally speaking try removing your Airport Card then any user installed RAM as these are the most common causes. Then work through that page of resolutions.
Good luck.

How to remove installer prompt at shut down?

Talking about a MacBook Pro running 10.9.5. Something I brought on myself. I downloaded an installer for an app and began the installation, but changed my mind, canceled the installation and removed the app, installer and associated files. However, now at shut down I get a prompt with an installer icon asking if I want to abort installation or not. Choose abort and the computer shuts down. Choose "Yes" to continue the phantom installation and the system looks for the missing app then shuts down. How can I remove this prompt? Thanks in advance.

When you restart or turn off your Mac, OS X is set to automatically open the apps that were opened when you turned it off, so this could be the reason why the installer always pops up during shutdown.
To avoid this, uncheck "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window, or start in safe mode once (hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting up) and restart. This should fix the issue.

See case #188305. There is not a whole lot of information there and we really don't like to reproduce this.
If it happens again we will add more info to the case. In the log file we have seen 'class not found' for
weblogic.utils.... classes before it shuts down. Boot it again under no load and it comes up fine.

Hmm.. that's interesting.
What version of WLS, SP-level? what 's the avg load that you are putting on WLS? Is it in a clustered environment? what
the min/max heap size, executeThreadCount etc...
Any other details that you can provide us would be helpful for us to debug further.

We have seen this as well when load testing. It's hard to ignore the WL server shutting down by itself for no reason.

You will only see this, if WLS shutdown is commenced and if you try to PING the server.
you can safely ignore it.

My macbook is not responding to the prompt to shut down

using the Recovery HD...it prompts me: "holding down the Command key and the R key until you see the Apple logo"...but nothing happens...HELP PLEASE!

What are you trying to do? If you are booted from the Recovery HD you shutdown by selecting that option from the menubar's Apple menu.
If you are trying to boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

My MacBook frequently prompts to shut down. How can I stop this?

I have a MacBook 1,1 running on Mac OS X 10.6.8. Every few minutes or so, a box pops up asking if I want to shut down. How can I stop this?

What version of OS X are you using?
If it's Lion, OS X 10.7, there's a couple of possibilities -
* Right-click or Control-click on the Word icon in the Dock; in the popup menu that appears, look in the Options submenu, If the item "Open at login" is chckmarked, select it to uncheck it.
• If you leave Word running when you shut the machine down or restart it, and do not uncheck the setting to auto relaunch running apps at startup, it will be started again automatically.

Suddenly Shut Down my mac book pro, late 2011

Hello guys, i need your help.
Last 2 weeks, suddenly my macbookpro shut down, and it makes me shock.
After a few second shut down, i try to turn it on.
it just make sound like turn on your mac and suddenly shut down again.
It shut down for 3 times and more.
When i plug in the charger, it turn on.
But after i unplug the charger it suddenly shut down again.
i try to shut down my mac properly, and when i turn on again it works.
My friends say that it could be my battery, i checked it, and my battery was normal.
And i search about this issue, some people say to reset SMC, i dont know if it would works or not.
Did reset SMC will makes you lose you data or something?
Now, i must plug the charger when i want to turn on my mac.
Did this a serious problem or not? i need you advice guys.
Thanks!

No data is lost due to resetting the SMC.
But after i unplug the charger it suddently shut down again
The problem may be the adapter. Try here > Apple Portables: Troubleshooting MagSafe adapters
Hopefully your important files are backed up just in case.
