Three computers shut down over the course of three days non will reboot
I wonder if anyone can help me - over the course of the last three days my three home computers have all shut down and all will now not turn on. It started with my daughters eee as us netbook, which powered down and wouldn't switch on. The battery and power light are on but you press the start up button it flicks on and then two seconds later shuts down and won't boot up. A day later my iMac stopped working, similarly it shut down and wouldn't switch on, then the next day the same things happened to my dell netbook, same problem. All three computers will not power up. The only link between them is out home wireless system and electricity supply. Anyone have any ideas?????????
When I say it should be between 110 and 120v, that is if you are in north America.
If in Europe, it should be around 220 to 240V
Many Asian countries are on 100v.
Do all of the machines power up but fail to boot?
Is there a power light turning on on all of them?
If nothing at all is happening, it could be the power supplies that got fried by a power surge or even the hard disks.

WRT54GS v7. Slows down over the course of a day.
I've got a WRT54GS v7 router with the latest firmware as of writing this. It is connected to a wired PC, a wireless PC, and a Wii (wireless).
I get great connection rates with the setup and everything seems to work fine, for a while. But after about a day (sometimes more or less) the connection rates on all of the machines slowly drops to intolerable levels. Worse than dial up levels.
A hard reset (pull the plug for a few seconds) on the router will bring things back to a normal pace, but only for a day before everything repeats. I've tried tinkering with settings and such but can't seem to figure out what is causing the problem.
Has this sort of behavior been seen before? What kinds of things can I do to stop it? Thanks in advance.

Over the course of many years I seem through using different computers to have several apple ids and three email addresses, this is causing problems with synchronising, I have an iPod, iPhone and ipad
Hi there
Sorry for hijacking your thread as put by Dahveed. However I have resolved my issue so I thought I'll share it with the rest of you.
I checked for the error 3194 in youtube and I found some good videos that tell you how to resolve the problem. The issue I was facing was the actually (I know because I have resolved it now) the communication between my computer and apple server which can be fixed as following (if you are using windows):
There is file in following directory:
C:\Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
The file normally has no extension and it is in file format. You need to open it and make sure that every line that has apple server id starts with "#". In my case one of the line started directly with the ip address and then gs.apple.com.
Perform your restore/update after that and hopefully it should be resolved (mine did).
Cheers -
When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn. I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start. Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up? Am I screwed? HELP!!
What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
It will take noticeably longer than normal to start. -
I am getting ready to call and schedule to take imac in for service. Thought I would try on here first. It is shutting down all the time. Its like it just crashes.

I am unable to update software, transfer purchases, sync, or backup any of my 3 devices. I have tried using iTunes on other computers, uninstalling iTunes with tech support walking me through, using a different user on my computer, deleting photos off of my devices, using an ethernet cable instead of connecting with wifi, uninstalling my antivirus software and firewall, and had my laptop examined by several techs who all determined there was nothing wrong with the laptop that explains what has been going on. I am also unable to view or download purchases on iTunes. Clicking the Itunes store results in a blank white screen. I get various error messages, including -9886. Apple techs and now the engineers have been unable to resolve the issues thus far, even after several hours of phone support over the course of several months (about 5 hours this month alone). I have done everything they've suggested, even when they've suggested I do something over again, and I'm becoming frustrated. I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you in advance for your time.

Premiere Elements 4.0 shuts down at the 15 min mark of my slideshow
I have created a photo slideshow in Premiere Elements 4.0. I'm using a Gateway Laptop - 2.00 GB, 32-Bit operating system. I checked available space on my C-hard drive and it shows: 43.6 GB of available space.
At approximately 15 minutes and 44 seconds, the end of one of my songs starts to skip, and an error message pops up that says: Microsoft Windows: Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
I checked the song where the issue occured. It plays fine in other applications. I checked the format of the photos - all are Jpeg. I even deleted all files from that 15 min 44 sec point in my project and it still hits something it doesn't like and shuts down with the error message. I defragged and performed a disc cleanup. I re-started the computer and tried it again - same issue.
So I started over. I checked it every time I added something new. Photos worked; transitions worked, the theme worked..... and then I got to music. I added 3 tracks and at 15 min 44 sec, my issue started again. I thought that maybe I had run out of hard drive space (I've read several threads on here that suggest a laptop is not ideal for PE 4 - a CPU works best). But if that were true, shouldn't my project have worked when I deleted the songs from the project? I've tried everything and am a loss. I've contacted Tech Support and am still waiting for an answer. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!Hi, bbhill. This is the photoshop elements forum. You'd probably have better luck in the Premiere Elements forum, which is here:

2008 mac pro shuts down over night with os 10.9.5
Updated clean install of OS 10.9.5 to new HDD on my 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8 via the app store: The Mac seems to shut down over night. Not overheating. Energy Saver, Computer sleep set to Never, and Display sleep set to Never. Screen saver set to never. Very odd. will see if it does it 3rd night in a row.
Also: anyway to get rid of the password log in when I turn Mac on?Open the Console app and look for log entries right before your had to boot up the Mac. Post them here.

When trying to import photos from iPhone to iPhoto, iPhoto begins the import but then immediately shuts down. over and over again. I've looked online for a solution but have not found anything that I have tried. I am not very comfortable with technology so hesitate to try anything without some direction.

How would I be able to pull up all of the text messages tat were in my phone over the course of 2 years and back them up to my computer since my phone has a broken screen and can no longer read the mesages.
If the messages are stored on the device and you can power the device up you can use the application posted at https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/770529 , the application has a screen capture option and you can use the screen as a guide to install MyBackup from Market or a number of backup apps from Market and then you can run the applications and backup data to your SD Card to restore to the replacement device.

My girlfriends Macbook Pro shuts down at the Apple Logo....
My girlfriends Macbook Pro shuts down at the Apple Logo....
1)I start the computer
2)It loads to the apple logo
3)A progress bar shows and loads about 5% then it dissappears and a few seconds later the macbook pro shuts down.
Any solutions?
If not, is there any way for me to reinstall the os without losing any files such as(any of her pictures, music, etc)?Hi S,
See if you can run Repair Disk: Boot frominstall disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key andkeep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screenselect the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in themenu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the leftside> click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice,and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’thappen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directoryis damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damagedHD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HDitself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, andrestart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > DiskUtility and run Repair Permissions. -

My mobile phone is always automatically shut down at the time of the photo.
Plug the device into a wall outlet and leave it for about 20 minutes. If it has not powered on at that point try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for about 15 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

Windows 7 Home Premium on X200
