It sounds like you need a new battery. Does it show any charge left when you unplug AC?
If it does, try this:

  • Message "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now"

    I am in OS 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro. I get repeated message  upon start-up "are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" Restarting does not stop the message. Nor does canceling it. It keeps occuring, blocking my ability to do applications. Because it comes to the front all the time, and the "shutdown" button is lit, if I inadvertently hit a return key while typing something else, the computer shuts down. I have a western digital backup disk-dismounting that has no effect. I have also run the disk utility permissions repair a few times to no avail.
    Thanks for any advice.

    This might happen if your power button is malfunctioning.  Remember a slight tap of the power button will bring up that screen.  Bring it in for service if it is readily reproducible.

    Is this after you've chosen to Shutdown from the Menu, or just on it's own?
    You can press the esc key to cancel, or Enter key to shutdown.
    Check your System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule & see if it's set to shutdown at a certain time.

  • "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" message on start up

    This morning on startup I received the popup message "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?". Canceling has no effect. The message just reappears on restart. I've verified the disk; it's fine. I've repaired permissions and I get this message: "Warning: SUID file System/Library/Core has been modified and will not be repaired. Any ideas as to what is going on?

    Can you perhaps look in the console (/utilities/console) and watch for what's written around the time of the dialog?
    Perhaps an indication is there.

  • The "Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now?" window continues to pop up... I'm not pressing the power key on my 2008 Macbook.

    It's easier to just show you -

    The window keeps popping us as if the power button is continually being pressed... however it's not. I've tried mashing the button a few times to see if I can get it unstuck but no luck. Ugh this is so annoying because even if I leave the message open and continue work on another window, it will refresh and become the active window again making me have to click to a different window again to repeat work. Typing this forum entry, for instance, was a pain in the butt because of this.
    Probably has something to do with the coffee that was spilt on it a year ago... but I haven't had anyissues until now. Please advise, is there away to turn it off? any work arounds anyone knows of?
    Johnny

    Check this or maybe the coffee has finally taken it's toll and you might want to take ot in to Apple.

  • Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now? Message

    This seems to happen repeatedly with a Macbook Pro and the 30" cinema display.
    I have resolved this by unplugging the monitor and plugging it back it.
    It doesn't appear to happen when you plug the macbookpro power supply in first before plugging in the cinema display and usb.

    The display consumes much more power than your MBP, hence the glich. Always use your poewer supply, unless it will be a very short presentaion

    You'd have to do more and try eliminating one by one.
    But first step would be clone your system and run Disk Warrior on the clone, then from there, use DW on your system as well.
    As to what other hardware you have, from PCIe to USB/FW, including cables.... the same as FAQ for kernel panics and how to avoid and prevent as the MacFixit/Cnet tutorial goes into.

    Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
    But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out

    Then I suggest you read this thread regarding the 30" Apple Cinema Display and that particular message pop up... several possible causes... common denominator, the display.

  • I am asked repeatedly if I want to shut down my computer when I do not. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am asked over and over again if I want to shut down my computer now. No matter how many times I click "cancel" the box returns with the same maddening question. I'm using Lion on a Mac Pro. How can I get this to stop?

    Perhaps the problem is that your Security setting is set to log you out immediately that your Sleep mode activates. And maybe your sleep setting is quite frequent.
    Otherwise you may have set a shutdown timing in Energy Saver>Schedule that keeps repeating when you cancel the Shut Down window.
    I haven't tried these yet and they are rather obscure, but they may be the software problems to check before servicing your hardware (keys and power button).

    Which Mail icon? That in the Applications folder, that in the Dock, or some other? You do not have to quit your applications in order to shut down your computer (heck, you hardly ever need to shut down your computer).

    Thank you for your reply BDAqua.
    Yes I ran short and the Extended Test. All pass. One of the first things I did is Safe Boot several times I also repaired permissions. Safe boot takes no longer than before the crashes and as long as I stay in safe boot mode it won't crash. What does that mean?I also ran MacJanitor and removed the SCCUZI card Apple put in when I bought the G4 as well as an M-Audio Delta 66 card which I do not use (both) anymore. I also started up on an external firewire drive 10.4.6. It also (crashes) does the same thing.
    I was hoping somebody understands the crash report I enclosed? Isn't that suppose to say what went wrong?
    Thank you again for your input BDAqua

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • How do I get my mac mountain lion to stop saying, "You shut down your computer because of a problem?

    My Mac Mountain Lion desktop computer keeps saying, "You shut down your computer because of a problem." How do I keep this from happening?

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.
