Was watching a dvd, later, G5 was off - should I worry?

I dozed off while watching a dvd. When I awoke, the computer was off. What could be the cause (it's running just fine, for now)?

I checked, - 'system log' and 'console log' only show today's activity. Next, I opened a new 'system log' window and found activity for predawn yesterday, and I think this corresponds to the time I was asleep:
"Feb 17 03:15:00 terry-browns-power-mac-g5 cp: error processing extended attributes: Operation not permitted"
After this there is no activity until 9:15 that morning, presumably when I restarted the computer.

My Mac got hacked. I was working on a word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how the hacker is skillful. At the that time I was on a password protected wifi and file sharing was off.

This is the first time I get hacked this bad. I was working on a microsoft word document when the computer suddenly started typing meaningful sentences on its own that describes how skillfull the hacker is. At the that time I was on a friends wifi network that is password protected (not sure about the encyrption), the Os X Firewall was on. I was using the admin profile, however, file sharing was off. I'm very careful not to install any suspecious 3rd party software.
So far I have verified permissions and fixed some errors there, and changed passwords.
Do I have to erase/format my computer and reinstall the Os? If so is it adequte to use the internet recovery tool or will it use old and possibly infected EFI/Root files?
Would appreciate the advice of all the Mac experts out there. Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Hi guys, My iphone got stolen yesterday, it was off but i've just got an email the last place my iphone was found yesterday night and again it got off, i went to the address but they said they have not found any iphone, what should i do?

Hi guys,
My iphone got stolen yesterday night, I activated lost mode but the phone was off and couldnt be tracked, today i just got an email about the last place the phone was found yesterday night, its off again, i went there but they said that nobody has found an iphone, police does not do anything also, what should i do?

My iPhone was stolen. Straight away I used the findmyiphone app. No surprise that the phone had been turned off, rendering the app totally useless.
I thought its ok, I've got a pin code. My brother then goes on to tell me that they are easily bypassed.
My brother states that if you put an iPhone in dfu mode, connect that iPhone too iTunes
That iTunes detects the said phone is in dfu mode and does a system restore.
Wiping the phone and giving the Theif a brand new iPhone!!!
Someone from apple please tell me WHY THIS CAN HAPPEN?!
iPhone 4, iOS 6, Stolen iPhones

I lost my iPhone 4 in Brussels last week. It was in airplane mode when lost. I also use a code to unlock the phone. The phone was off when lost. My question is: Can a person access my personal data on the phone?

I lost my iPhone 4 in Brussels last week. It was in airplane mode when lost. I also had a code to unlock the phone. The phone was off when lost. My question is: Can a person access my personal data on the phone? Can they take the chip out and place it into another iPhone and access the personal info on the chip or is the personal data on the phone itself and could they put a new chip in and access the data?

I have Find my iPhone App, but it says that it is offine.
I've checked all week and it is offline.
I clicked on erase iphone when phone accesses the internet on the Find my iPhone App.
I just want to know how safe is my personal information that I have on that iPhone?

I was sharing same id for 2 phones.i deleted my photo stream my one phone stream of other phone was off wether these photos save in i cloud?? how to delete from both phones

i was sharind my apple id with my sister . i made some photos from my phone after that i deleted them from my stream .my sister,s stream was off.there is no photo on her phone but is that possible these photos might b saved on i cloud?? if so how to delete them

I had my phone replaced by Apple on the 8th February at the Apple centre in Trafford Centre. They asked me if I wanted to download my information from iCloud which I had last saved on the 6th February. The photos that were download were not my photographs. Some of them were of a highly explicit nature of persons (male/female) whom I do not know. The couple in question would be mortified to know I have received their intimate photographs off iCloud. All the photos were deleted and I was told an iCloud representative would get in touch with in a couple of days, which they did not. Since then I have been on to Apple again about a differed matter and they tried to get my original photos back on my phone but again these initiate explicit photos were downloaded to my iPhone. My 13 year old niece has been staying and has used my phone but thankfully did not look at the photos. I have complained to Apple and had no satisfaction and I found their representative Alex de Matos rude and condescending, He also told me this had never happened before, he needs to read this website. I am now going to get in touch with the Trading Standards agency and the Data Protection agency as Apple have violated principle 5.

TS4002 iCloud was off for two hours, what about the messages sent in that particular time window?

my account was off for two hours due to overloaded mailbox, is it possible that some messages were sent to me at that time and therefore I won't receive those messages sent to my account during those two hours? Thanks...

Messages sent to you while your mailbox is full would've been bounced back to the sender.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

So, my worst fear came true,
I've droped my ihpone in the toilet and it was off. It went off before was able to pick it up.
I've tried to dry it in rice and after two days it won't turn on , the only thing that does turn on is the flash.
I want to know if i should send it to repair or if i should forget it cause it doesn't worth.
Is there any tip?

"It is most likely fried. You can exchange it for an out of warranty replacement at an Apple Store."
how does this works ?

Phone was off for almost four days, haven't received texts from when it was shut off

I read that Verizon continues to send messages for five days if the phone doesn't receive them. it was just under four days my phone was off, and when turned back on, I only got messages from that day. I know for a fact I was sent messages in this time, important messages, but I haven't gotten them. Is there anything to do about this? Pretty pathetic that the only way to get any type of customer assistance is to post on a forum.

Call *611 to get to Customer Service. Better yet call 800-922-0204 from another phone and choose option 3 from the menu tree.
As for the issue, try calling *228 and choose option 1 from the phone to reset the 1's and 0's on the phone.

Firewall was off on my MacBook Pro -- Afraid someone hacked into my computer

While I was checking my comcast email this morning (not on Mail but on the comcast website) I heard something that sounded like a door slamming and saw a brief flash. I subsequently realized that my firewall was off. I turned it back on and changed my email password. None of my passwords for any site I go on are saved. Is there anything else I need to do or check to be sure my MacBook Pro (running Yosemite) is safe? Thanks, Maria

The firewall does absolutely nothing to protect you from malware, so leaving it off is not an issue. It should be off if you're on a private network behind a router.
There is no known malware now in circulation that could be spread merely by checking email.

Hi, I just picked up my phone to check the time, and it was off, which was weird because I just checked it a minute or so before. i tried to turn it on, which didn't work, then i plugged it in, and it has still shown no sign of life.. what do i do?

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the off slider that appears first, then release.

Kernel Panic occured when Macbook was off (2nd time this has happened)

Hey guys today I came home from work and I heard that my MB's fans were running. I turned it off last night completely (not sleep) and didn't turn it on in the morning before work. Also the sleep light was on (when the display was closed) and the computer was a little bit warm and the fans were blowing out warm air. This is the 2nd time this has happened, once with the original memory, and today's panic with the 2 1gb sticks of Patriot RAM I installed a couple days ago.
Any info on how to fix this problem or what I should do is strongly appreciated

I don't think you got a KP when the machine was off, but rather you may have closed the lid before the MB was fully powered down and it went into a sleep state.
Did you try running the Apple Hardware Test to see if the ram is bad? Since yo never had a KP before adding new ram, and the only change was adding said ram. My guess is that its the memory that is the cause.
I cannot vouch for patriot ram, but I suggest in the future you consider Crucial as its a higher quality ram.

Help! Copying DVD onto hard drive to watch at a later date- HOW???

I am very new to the world of MacBooks. Does anybody know if I am able to copy DVDS onto my hard drive to watch at a later date without having to carry disks. After some reasearch it appears i may have to download a program 'Mac Ripper.' Is this necessarily the case or am I able to do this without having to down load this program? I have the latest MacBook Pro OS X 10.4.8.
Any advice would be appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes, you'll need a ripping application of which MacTheRipper is a good choice. Once you've ripped a DVD to your hard drive you can play it using DVD Player (selecting "Open DVD Media" from the File menu).

TS4006 My kid misplaced her iPad, we can't find it for almost three months already. It is connected to our other iDevices by 'Find My iPhone/ Mac' and the iPad show still offline until now. Is there any way to find the last location before it was off ?

My kids misplaced her iPad, we can't find it for almost three months already. Check using 'find my iPhone' it show the iPad still OFF. Is there any way to find it last location before it was OFF ?

Simply stated that is design. If you want to suggest a change, there is a feedback section elsewhere on this site.
