TS4185 My Face Time always shuts down after using it for about a minute. Can anybody suggest a way to stop this happening?

Hi. My Face Time continuisely shuts itself down after about a minute of use. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this and how I can sort it out. This only happens on my MacBook Pro and not on any of my other devices.

Creating a new profile and deleting the old one seemed to fix the problem. Why the problem occurred in the first place, is beyond me. But after creating the new profile, restoring all my bookmarks, and reinstalling Flashgot, everything seems to be behaving wonderfully. For anyone else having similar issues, I recommend creating the new profile. It's easy to do, as long as you save your old one, so you can copy all the necessary files to restore your preferences and bookmarks.

Several Apps seem to just mysteriously shut down after using for a while. Same with Safari, I will be using Safari and it shuts down. Face book too. I've reset and shut down my iPad 3 and restart it, but it stills shuts down. What to do?

Several Apps seem to mysteriously shut down after using them for a while. Face Book shuts down , netflix, Safari, and other Apps. They work fine for a short while, or a long while, and then shut down and it brings me to my regular desktop screen. I've tried restarting by completely shutting down the IPad until I see the apple pic and turned it back on, but the shutdowns of apps continue. Anyone else have this issue? It generally started shortly after downloading and installing IOS 7......

Why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

why it takes long time to shut down after i upgrade to OS X ver 10.8.2?

Can't really say, but I see this occurring on all of my Macs since the 10.8.2 update and keep reading about it at several other Mac user boards.
Bottom line: it's a general problem, but more of an inconvenience, than a serious problem. Probably will be solved with the next update.

My new ipod touch goes dim after switching on for about a minute?

You're apparently in the hairy edge of ambient light being just barely dark enough to justify dimming the screen.

Your put your Air into sleep mode with headphones attached, I assume.

Powerbook g4 shut down after turning on for the first time every day

in recent 2 weeks, my g4 suddenly shut down after turning on 5min to several hours the 1st time everyday. after turning on 2nd time, a note show on the screen that "your computer clock is set to a date before March 24th, 2001, this may cause some applicaiton to behavior erratically" and recommed to reset the date and time. but the time is correct when i check the date&time. the battery is not out of power at that time. anyone has the same problem?

I'm not really familiar with System Optimizer, but I guess it is somewhat like Onyx or Cocktail, a system utility. You must be cleaning your caches too deeply. When you launch a document after this, an alert message appears. This relates to Security Update 2004-06-07 which was issued before 10.4 was released. So it existed in Panther, too. I would say if your utility gives you any control of what is cleaned in your caches, be choosy about it. See Dr. Smoke's FAQ here:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
If I might quote one passage:"However, after performing a System-level cache cleaning, you may again see these alerts for previously-approved applications as a System-level cache cleaning may remove the
com.apple.LaunchServices*.csstore
files in your Computer > Mac OS X > Library > Caches folder. These files save, among other things, information indicating the applications you have previously approved for launch. Some cache-cleaning utilities retain these files to preserve your list of approved applications, while others remove them as they are saved in a System-related cache folder."
However, it would be best if you read the entire FAQ.

Windows 7 64bit will not shut down after using firefox, Why???

After using Firefox the only way I can shut down is to kill the power, normal shut down does not work. When I use internet explorer I have no problem, unless I have used Firefox during the session.

The idea of a 3rd party unrelated app didn't seem reasonable, but in Windows, I brought up the the Windows Task Manager (similar to MacBook Activity Monitor) and started "ENDING" the tasks that seemed to be unrelated to the system but used for certain applications.
When I stopped a task related to my Linksys Music Bridge (I was using Airlink-101 music bridge tools to access the bridge) this allowed iTunes to start and stop without automatically restarting.
On XP, the task was "CMFLYWAV" not sure why it's called that, but I now use Bluetooth to send audio to my HiFi using a Logitech Speaker Adapter that works great, and doesn't cause problems for iTunes.
There are probably other unessential tasks running on those machine that still have this "won't shut down" problem.
Thanks for the hint, but I was heading down that road as the next step, assuming something else was forcing iTunes to stay active. But I would not have expected it to be a network speaker driver as it was in my case.

IPod shuts down after playing music for 1 minute

Whenever I try to listen to music or radio the device shuts down after exactly 1 minute. Can't find a setting to change this. I already did reset all settings, to no avail. Any help? Thanks!

Make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen. You shoul hear a sort of clicking noise when inserted the headphones to signal that they have been fully seated.

Each time i log on firefox works ok for about 5 minutes then becomes unavailable

i have logged on with an excellent signal many times in the last week but each time i use the computer to look at pages after about 4 to 5 minutes a page comes up saying server not available

The answer is that Animated GIF files include a Loop Enable Flag as well as a Loop Limit Count. This GIF had a count which should have allowed it to loop for almost 2 hours. But in Firefox it only loops for about 5 minutes.
It appears Firefox is misinterpreting this value to be a Frame Count rather than a Cycle Count.
Is there any Firefox Employees reading this, and can acknowledge this has been added to their Opportunity (a.k.a. Bug) List?

IMac won't shut down after using Time Machine

Here is the thing: My iMac (late 2009, 24", 8 GB RAM) won't shut down when I use my external HD for Time Machine. After the back up I try to eject the external HD but the icon won't disappear on the screen, it only gets blank and is not clickable anymore. It is still visible in the menu of the Finder but with no ejection sign anymore. Programs that were open before won't close even if I use the forced shut down function. But it seems like they are closed as they don't appear on the list anymore. When I then try to shut down the whole system the screen goes black and the wheel turns for hours! So that I finally have to shut it down manually.
This happens only after using the external HD for the back ups and when I then try to eject it. If I don't eject it everything goes normal. If I don't connect it everything goes normal. Sure, you might say, hey leave it plugged in then. But as it is a 3 TB HD I also use it for my MBP so I have to eject it
Is this a known issue or a bug in the system of Yosemite? With Mavericks everything worked really well - no problems at all. On the MBP (late 2011, i7, 8 GB RAM) it also works well. So I am kind of annoyed the I always have to shut the iMac down manually which can't be that healthy for the system.
Any insights on that issue are highly appreciated - thanks a lot!
Birgit

Okay, just realized that the same problem occurs with the MBP after rejecting the external HD
Icon gets blank, cannot be clicked anymore, while shutting down the MBP normally the screen goes black and the wheel is turning forever but nothing else happens. So I have to force it to shut down.
It seems to be a general problem with connecting an external HD once in a while for doing a time machine back up regularly and then eject it. So the question is: who has the same problem or does everybody have their HD permanently connected to their Macs for Back ups? Either by USB or WLAN? It never was a problem wit Mavericks and I don't want to permanently back up my system every hour - once a week is good for me BUT this cannot be adjusted in the time machine settings which would be a very good idea.
Any solution is still highly appreciated !!
Thanks a lot,
Birgit

Macpro 17inch just shut down while using. Tried removing battery and SMC to no avail. Have had this problem before over the last six months but would always restore. Now you just click on the power button front light stays on for 2 sec

Hi, My 17 inch Mac pro laptop just shut down and I can't get it to turn on again. This has happen multiple times over the last six months. Looked through the forum and tried removing the battery and resetting the SMC control to no avail. I was having issues also with the screen a month ago but that resolved by itself. When I took it into the genius bar for screen problems I was told I'd probably need a new CPU board because the vram may be going bad and they just don't fix that
problem. Have held off because of a potential $500 repair and awaiting ivy bridge technology. Does anyone in the community know how I can restart my portable. Right now you turn on the machine and the front light stays on for 2 sec and you hear the machine click off?

I think you may have already been told what the problem is. However look at this and maybe it will help:

Probably another genius bar appointment is the best way to exactly define the problem.
Good luck.
