Unexpected shut down when trying to start from a osx cd or dvd

I cant startup from an osx cd or dvd. Ive even tried a norton utilities disk and I can boot in 9 but not osx. i have both original panther cds and tiger dvd. the machine has 9.2 and 10.1 and runs fine on both systems. but i cant get the install cds or dvd to work. When booting of the cd/dvd i get the gray scree with the apple and then the blue screenwith the spinning cursor the the computer shuts down. The shutdown is the fastest with the tiger dvd and longest with the panther cd.

As for firmware, check http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117.
Reset the machine's defaults. Restart the machine booting into Open Firmware (holding down these keys until you get a text screen: OPT+ CMD + O + F). Then, enter these commands, following each with hitting the return key:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
For details, see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60285. Note that, although the article is an overview for network servers, "most of the information included applies broadly to all PCI Macintosh systems" and is, IMHO, their definitive guide to Open Firmware and I recommend its perusal.
If that works, you might have to reset some System Preferences.

ITunes shuts down when trying to import from CD

I have changed every setting and gone through every help file and uninstalled/reinstalled, etc and no matter what I do, when I try to import songs from a CD to iTunes, I get the message that iTunes has encountered an error and will be shut down at which point I have the option to send or not send the error report.
Why is this happening to me? I bought an iPod for my sister for a gift last night and loved it so much I went out and bought one for myself today and now I'm a little upset the only songs I can put on them are ones I buy from the iTunes music store

hiya!
just checking ... is that a dual core or dual processor PC?

IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
Thanks

rk87,
Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

Iphoto is unexpectedly shutting down when trying to buy book

Lion Recovery Mode shuts down when trying to start it.

When I start recovery mode (in verbose) I get 'proc 98: load code signature error 9 for file "securityd"' among other bugs/errors. See attached image.
With this I am unable to get into recovery mode. Booting and holding cmd+r/option will allow me to start the boot into recovery mode. I've also tried using the recovery assistant to put it on a external drive, but to no avail.
MBP15" Early 2011. It does have a firmware password (which I cannot remove due to the inability of getting in recovery mode).

After toyin around a bit more, I managed to attempt to mount the boot dmg on the RHD. The follow happened:
This confims to me that my boot dmg is corrupted. However I wanted to rule away the option of the firmware password, and hence mounted the dmg with no verification. Using this I was able to sucessfully remove the firmware password. After rebooting I got indeed not prompted for a password when holding alt. The problem with my RHD however persisted.

The first error has nothing to do with Photoshop - that's some .NET application.
The second error is most likely connected to a third party plugin or driver.
And you're running Photoshop CC (14.x) instead of the current Photoshop CC 2014 (15.x).

Palm Desktop shuts down when trying to view calendar by month

I'm using a Palm TX with the latest edition of Desktop installed (I think that's 6.2). Everything is normal except, suddenly, I cannot view my calendar in monthly view. Daily, weekly and yearly all work fine. Desktop shuts down when trying to view in monthly view. I did a system restart, a Desktop reinstallation, a download of the latest version and installation of that version and, finally, uninstallment of the existing Desktop, download of the newest version and installation of that version. Nothing seems to enable me to view the calendar in monthly view. This is a spontaneous event. I've been running Desktop on a Vista Ultimate system since February without incident. I have no idea about how to solve this.
Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

Well, here's where we are now. It's a good thing that I have desktop on my office computer because when I tried a Hotsynch with my home desktop, Hotsynch wiped out all the data on my handheld and then hung up both the handheld and desktop in the middle of the Hotsynch. I'm going to overwrite the entire handheld with the office desktop file. As for the home setup, I'm thinking the only thing I can do now is uninstall Palm and wipe out the entire directory of files. Am I correct about this? Do I need to do a clean uninstall?

Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

Soundtrack Pro Shuts down when trying to fix analized Action

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try if there isn't an easier answer out there somewhere. If I pull the card will I have to reload the software and drivers?
If my project is saved and I have a copy of the project saved will I be able to reload Adobe without losing anything? What I mean is will I be able to just import my whole project once reloaded?
I just don't understand what could have happened, since I was doing this with no problem a couple of days ago.
Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

System Preferences shuts down when trying to apply .CR2 image as background

Hello-
I have been trying to apply a photograph taken in RAW as a desktop background image. The file is .CR2 and when I click done to set it as the background, the background does not change and the notice comes up that System Preferences has unexpectedly shut down.
Please help !
Thanks

As far as I know, the things you can do with a RAW file are pretty much limited to processing it with photo editing software. You could use iPhoto and save it as a jpg file.

Unexpected Shut down when moving macbook pro on my 'lap'

In the last month or so, I've been suffering from an unexpected shut down of my mac book pro - which is quite annoying.
The issue seems to be (and it is reproducable) that after a few minutes (or seconds sometimes) of moving my mac from a flat surface (e.g. a coffee table) onto my 'lap' the computer just shuts down (no warning).
I can reproduce this by holding my mac in both hands above my lap and rotating away from me (i.e. screen closer and keyboard futher away)....
After some googling, I think this could be related to the sudden movement sensor (and a suggestion was to reset my smc by doing shift-ctrl-option-powerbutton when the mac was powered down). But this hasn't worked.
Anyone experienced similar issues?
I'm using a 17inch early 2011 mac book pro, running OS X 10.8.3 with the latest software updates installed.
It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, i.e. watching videos, writing emails, using lightroom, photoshop.
I wonder if this is related to any recent udpdate?
Thanks
