Why would my Mac OS 10.4.11 MacMini repeatedly dive into sleep when watching videos on web over any browser?

Mac OS 10.4.11, pre-intel, updated as far as I can with the OS and as far as I can update for Flash and...well any other update-able items, given the OS I am stuck in (for now). When I "check for updates" I am always told that there are no updates available.
The unit works normally for hours. I can watch movies via DVD, .avi, no prob.
I can watch youtube and other types of web vids for...sometimes...5-10-15 minutes, then the computer fan revs up and it goes to sleep; it comes right back up and goes to sleep again....on and on.
If I quit the browser, all seems well.
I tried clearing history, cookies...I even freed up a bunch of HD space. But I already had 29gig free, now I have 69 of 149 gig free.
I am hard wired, not wi-fied.

Firefox 4 and later require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 or later (Firefox 16 runs on Intel OS X 10.5).

The last Firefox version that runs on your setup is Firefox 3.6.28:

For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.5 ESR compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log in. Safari won't open the secure page. Advice?

Why would Safari try to insert an s, as in https, into the facebook log-in page. "Safari can't connect to this secure page." I've checked preferences and cannot find a reason for this change to the regular facebook address. Safari 5.0.5 on MacbookAir. I can't even download the updated software.

If you leave your session idle for a while, the site might log you out due to inactivity, but... I wouldn't trust that, either.
Usually your bank will have a link, menu, or some other way to log out. Certainly that is the best thing if you can do it. Sometimes if a site is not fully compatible with Firefox its style rules will result in a jumbled layout. You can disable all the style rules and view the site in a plainer layout to see whether you can spot the missing link. To do that:
tap the Alt key > View menu > Page Style > No Style
(The tab will remain unstyled going forward. You can use the same menu to reapply the page's style sheets later.)
Also, if you want to break the connection between Firefox and your banking session, you can clear your cookies for the bank site. This won't necessarily have any effect on your banking session ''on the server'' but should make it impossible for someone to use your Firefox to do anything in that session. To clear cookies for the current site, you can use the Page Info dialog. Here are 3 ways to open it:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* click the padlock on the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then reload the page and the site should behave as though you are not logged in.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Mac Tower Pro 10.8.5 keeps going into sleep mode

Purchased from Apple, refurbished 2012 Mac Tower Pro. At the same time, purchased a new Dell U2713HM, 27" monitor.
Have been operating on this new system since about the first week of December 2013.
Issue:
The computer has constantly gone into sleep mode after a few minutes of no activity. I can have iTunes radio playing, but the system still goes into sleep mode. As I am typing and moving the curser, the machine stays awake.
This has caused much frustration because when it goes into auto sleep mode, it quits all programs that I am in, and when it does this, I lose all the work I had accomplished. It litterally closes everything and goes to sleep in about 2-3 minutes of no activity.
BTW: the computer and monitor have all its new OEM cables that came in the box, when I purchased the units.
Solutions attempted:
System Preferences — Energy Saver: computer sleep and display sleep set to "never" and unclicked the box "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Dell settings: Turned off all energy savers.
Results:
Nothing. Problem persists.

I apologize for the angst. The problem has cost too much money in lost time and material because when it would automatically shut down after a few minutes, all my work was lost.
I misunderstood the terms of the warranty. Thank you for your input and patience. Much appreciated. For the benefit of others that experience this with a new Mac that auto shuts down. Check the following:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Security and Privacy.
3. Click on Advanced (bottom right corner)
4. If the first line is checked (Log out after 5 minutes of inactivity); uncheck it and then click OK button.
5. Be sure to click the lock before existing Security and Privacy.
Now the machine will cease shutting down programs to go into sleep mode as soon as machine is inactive for a few minutes.

Mac crashes when watching videos. What's going on?

About two days ago I was watching an instant movie on Netflix. Ten to fifteen minutes into the movie my entire Mac froze. I restarted my computer and then tried to watch the movie again. And after a while my computer completely froze like it did last time - only this time it made these really AWFUL repeated screeching noises. I freaked, restarted the computer, shut it down, and unplugged it. (I was terrified it was going to catch on fire or something ridiculous, haha.) The next day I got on and did usual things: listened to music, surfed the web, etc. Then I started watching a YouTube video and without freezing or making the noises my computer went black then simply restarted itself. I can't videochat or do anything with videos without my Mac restarting itself now.
So what the heck is going on? I'm not a huge computer person, but I do know my way around pretty well. My dad can build a PC from scratch, but doesn't know a thing about Macs. He thinks it may have something to do with the video card, but I honestly have no idea. I believe we got my iMac in 2006. It's Mac OS X version 10.5.8. Over the summer I updated it from Tiger to Leopard. I'm not sure what sort of information to post but if you post telling me what I need to show to you I will.
Thanks for reading my ridiculously long post

I'm not sure you'd want to use the backup from your other Mac, because to do so you'd have to erase that drive. If it's big enough, after erasing, you could create two partitions, one for each Mac.
Cloning a drive for the first time, however, can take some time and it might not make it through all the way. In that case, you'd have lost the data from the other Mac for nothing. So, this is kind of a rock and a hard place thing right now.
If you've backed up your important stuff, then, if you determine the drive is failing, you can move that back over after you have a new drive installed. (I don't think your iMac is that easy as a DIY project. But depends on your skills.)
To get an idea what's involved, you could take a look at these excellent, illustrated instructions. You can find your model here. The EMC # is located under the foot of the mac.
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Browse/iMac
For cloning. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, freeware. It's very popular, easy to use and highly recommended. There are other ones out there, such as superduper, and tri-backup (this one not free.)
http://www.bombich.com/
Once you get this sorted out, you definitely don't want to be without an external, bootable clone.
SMCFan control

EDIT: You could open up Console in Applications>Utilities. In System Log, see what kind of entries there are just before these events, and just after booting up again. There might be some clues there as to just what is going on. I'm not great at reading these, but you could post parts of these logs. Might be able to tell if it's heat related.

I have a Mac version 10.5.8 with Safari and I can't watch video's... I can download flash player but it won't work.

I can't watch video on my Mac version 10.5.8 with Safari.

Could be Flash Player problem.
Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
The Adobe Flash patch can be found on the company's website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.

Why would my Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.1 reboot when I do a safe boot?

I turn on the computer. It bongs. I hold down the shift key and keep it held down. The gray Mac screen appears and then the spinning wheel indicator appears and runs for a few minutes, then the computer just reboots. The computer boots just fine otherwise. I can also boot into single user mode with no problem.
I don't recall trying this when the computer was running 10.4.x, so I can't be sure it's specific to the computer, but my guess is that it's specific to Leopard.
Anyone else try a safe boot under Leopard and had a similar experience?
other keywords: safe mode, extensions off.

Here's what looks like the last portion of the log just before it reboots itself

Why would My Mac quit recognizing my gmail and iCloud accounts

Spontaneously my Mac quit recognizing my two gmail accounts, my iCloud account, and my email through a local cable company. They still appear in my preferences, and show up when I go to my favorite boxes; but, the icon in the Dock will not close, and no mail is sent or received. I uninstalled all four accounts and reinstalled them to no avail.

UPDATE: I went through customer support, and the answer was too simple. I disconnected modem and router and reconnected them. The mail had been the only thing previously having problems, and this fixed the problem.

Why Would My Mac Suddenly Run Slow?

For two days now my Mac is just "crawling." I haven't added anything.
Everything was OK before about 2 days ago.
Is this common? Is it a temporary issue? I hope so.

See:
Mac Maintenance Quick Assist,
Mac OS X speed FAQ,
Speeding up Macs,
Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
Essential Mac Maintenance: Get set up,
Essential Mac Maintenance: Rev up your routines,

Five Mac maintenance myths, and
Myths of required versus not required maintenance for Mac OS X for starters.
I also suggest updating to the latest. Check via Software Update. You're woefully behind the curve with 10.6.2.

Why does my mac book pro 2012 15" w/ retina display run slow during a video game and then an SMC reset seems to fix it temporarily?

When I begin to play Diablo 3 with my fairly new 15" mac book pro with retina display, every now and then my computer will be really laggy when playing it (frame rate of under 5). Normally its performance is really fast with a frame rate of about 40-60 frames per second depending on the resolution used. When this happens I have performed a SMC reset and it fixed the problem. However, every few days it will act up again and I will have to do an SMC reset again. It has now happened again for the third time and I am affraid to continue to perform an SMC reset, is this bad for my computer? Should I take it in and have them trouble shoot it? Any help would be greatly appreciated to figure out what is wrong. Thanks.

So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
Thanks for your help,
Tetrault

Why would an After Effects comp be imported without the sound into Premiere?

Hi, everyone. I hope someone can help me out with this. Basically I have a comp with lots of .mts video files and .mp3 audio ones. AE crashes when rendering, blaming the MTS files. I don't fancy converting all the MTS to MOV (huge difference in terms of size), then replacing them with the new MOVs.
I was therefore hoping to be able to import the AE comp into Premiere and render from there. Rendering the video is not a problem, but for some reason there is no sound... Anyone know why this may be?
I am working with CS4.
Thank you!

You may not fancy converting the mts files, but you have to because you run AE 9. If you had AE 10, you wouldn't have to do that.
And you should never, EVER use mp3 files in AE if you want a good-sounding audio track. Or in your case, any kind of audio. In fact, you should never use ANY kind of compressed audio. Stick with wav and aiff files.
So quit wringing your hands and start convertin' them files!

Why does my Mac Pro rearrange my icons at bottom of my toolbar when i reboot?

Since i got my Mac Pro 10.6.8 it has rearranged my icons at my toolbar at bottom..First time it sent an icon to my finder section and i found it and drug it back and yesterday it sent my applications icon to my desktop screen.Is this a glitch? I know it will always be technical issues.But i can't drag it back so i just left it alone after several attempts.So is there a way to drag it back or just leave it alone? I'm sure sooner or later something else similar will happen.

Normally in most cases such as yours, reindexing Spotlight will correct the problem. Try it again.
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716
This seems to be a common problem with Yosemite.
If that does not correct the problem, you may try SMC and PRAM resets:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
http://web.archive.org/web/20140711222006/http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(This is a guess on my part. No harm can come to the MBP performing these resets.)
The last option is a reinstall of the OSX.
May I assume that the overall amount of data is correct? If not, then we will have to look at OmniDiskSweeper and Grand Perspective.
Ciao.
