Why does my Mac not restart after resetting SMC ?

I have a MacBook white intel base 2.4 duo mid 2008. I reset the SMC because the message kept coming that was going to shutdown. If you did not select cancel it would shutdown. Since then it will not restart? The choices were sleep , cancel or shutdown . Performe all the trouble shooting I could find it still came up with message
Any ideas
Regards
Denis

how did you do the SMC reset? the following article tells how to do this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
use the section for batteries that can be removed to perform the reset then see if it will start up
if it doesn't what OS are you running?

Why does my Mac wake up after "clicking" sleep with my mouse?

When any user on my iMac tries to "sleep" the computer using the mouse and any "sleep" comand on either the user screen or as a logged in user the computer "re-awakens" by itself. If the power button on the back of the iMac is pressed the computer will go to sleep and stay that way until "awakened" by any normal means (mouse click, keystroke, or turning on a periphial like the printer, which is normal and expected).
Can anyone help explain why "clicking" sleep with the mouse does not allow my computer to stay "sleeping"?

Tried another mouse?
Tried resetting SMC?

Why does my mac not switch focus between applications

All,
I have a very inconvenient problem on my mac.
Every time when I click on a link in e.g. Mail or Twitter, my Mac opens the link in Safari but does not switch focus to the Safari window with the loaded page.
Similar behaviour in every application.
Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks,
equi

Carolyn,
thanks, but this did not solve my problem. The issue is, that Safari itself does not get the focus and I am not brought to the space where Safari has opened the page.
I tried your suggestion, turned the setting on and off and on again, but the behaviour is still the same. I assume that it has something to do with spaces itself.
Thanks for your time having responsed to my post,
equi

What version of OS X are you currently using?

Why does my Mac keep restarting?

My Mac is randomly restarting. I was in safari when it started and now it will not even complete the startup sequence. I tried holding the shift key down to do a safe boot but that didn't stop it from restarting. I use a wireless mouse and keyboard. I am not sure of the exact version of the os but it is os 10 latest version but no lion.

Sounds like hardware problems. It may be time to take it to the Apple Store and ask them to repair.

Why does my mail not work after installing Yosemite?

I just installed Yosemite. Right after when I tried to open my mail, it right away wants to download all my mail. Then it fails in doing so and says to continue in order to launch Mail Import Assistant. Then I push Continue, and it then says; "Your mail has been damaged. To repair it, quit mail. Says mail will repair itself the next time I open mail. But then I tried to open mail and it goes back to the fail...vicious circle and getting nothing solved. Help!

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 icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

Why does my Mac not play this streaming radio station

Hi all.
I have no trouble listening online to streaming radio at this site:
www.6ix.com.au/streaming/stream.htm
Yet when I try to listen to another online station, CurtinFM Radio found at:
www,curtinfm.com.au/listen-now.html
The 'connection' window comes up but when I try to connect I am advised that something or other is not supported.
Both stations utilize Quicktime to play, and as far as I can tell I am up to date with Quicktime updates.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards

Hi there.
That was quick!
Yes I do have FlipMac installed and again, I think that it is up to date. By default both stations open in Quicktime. I think that I have fiddle with FlipMac in the past without results in this regard, so at the moment I seek guidance as I am stuck. More advice in FlipMac I will also try.
P.S. I am at the present listening to 1080AM radio on my Windows machine <:-{
Mind you, this IS my kind of music. Geeze, I hope this does not date me.

If yours is a 15" MacBook Pro 6,2, there is a recall program in place for it. It is described in this article:
TS4088- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
PRINT out a copy of the article as a hedge against "we never heard of this." Make an appointment at the genius bar. Do not leave until they have run the special VST test that ends in a remarkable PASSED or FAILED screen. [The typical "overnight bake" will not find this problem].
If failed and they refuse to accept it for repair under the program, the store manager may have additional latitude to help you. You MUST be polite and professional at all times. Apple wants you to be a happy customer. Folks who shout and threaten to sue everyone will never be a happy customer, so all they get is to be shown the door.

Why does my mac not work with cisco E3000 router

Why does my Mac not allow me to use my own printing preferences? Windows does.

I have a new Mac and have found to my dismay that I can no longer have any control over what type of paper I want to print on, along with many other printing preferences that I want to have control over as I did with my Windows Computer. Therefore, I am at the mercy of my computer or printer to figure out what kind of paper I am using...which is ridiculous, as that is impossible. Needless to say, many of my photos that I am trying to print on different papers, are printing out all kinds of crazy ways. I am using my same printer than I used with my Windows computer....the Epson Artisan 810 Photo Printer. I am a very serious photo printer person and I want my control back. What is the problem here and when will it be corrected? Thanks for any help that anyone can offer me.

Hi ,
Go to System preference > Printers & Scanner
select your printer and change its default print paper .
If you want to change more settings .
1) Open any image in PSE EDITOR.
2) Go to Print.
3) Select your printer Click on Print button w/o changing the size and other things.
4) save the settings in this window.

Why does my Mac go black after plugging in USB?

Please help I'm beginning to freak out nobody here seems to know the prob..
Thank you

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. You need to get it checked out by Apple.

hi everyone!
I'm kind of noob here but my story is...
My macbook pro is a mid 2012 and i am having a strange problem. My mac started to became slow and constantly showing the spinning pinwheel in every move. So i've changed the hd (that originally is a 500gb 5200rpm) for a 160gb that i've found in my home.
I've changed it and re-installed the OS X Mavericks and the spinning pinwheel still show up. So I've decide to reset the SMC ( with the original hd) and no sign of change, reset the PRAM and still the same, then I've re-installed in the 500gb hd the OS X and get back to normal, but that was yesterday.
Today the pinwheel show it up again...
I am going to buy a new hd but I'm afraid that nothing changes.
If anyone have a idea, i'll thx a lot!

Sup guys!
Well, i've bought the hd and that resolved the issue, so that was the solution for this one!
bye!

HT1386 Why does my sync not complete?

Why does my sync not complete after step 4 of 4 when it says "waiting for changes to be applied"?
I have tried to sync four different iPhones including three 4S and one 5. It does not work for any of them but does not come up with any error message. There is enough room on all of the phone and I have only selected some song, albums, artists and playlists from my music to sync as to not go over the capacity.

Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
How long to they play
Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

MAC Mini does not restart after Yosemite update

I bought my MAC mini in 2011 and I successfully updated to Mavericks with no problems. I am not sure why my MAC Mini will not restart after I updated to Yosemite. The completion bar gets stuck around 30%.
Any help or ideas appreciated
Larry

Okay, this is strange. I tried restarting three times yesterday with the same results. In fact I left it go overnight only to find the next morning that the bar was still stuck at 30%. I did a hard boot a little bit ago and waited a few seconds. I restarted an it booted up fine.

Why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting

why does my Mac Book pro keep restarting and how can it be fixed

It would be nice if you could include a kernel panic log to verify that your problem is...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
