Zen Jukebox 30G "Shutting Down" then ha

I bought this unit about a month ago, and I am not very pleased with it so far. The biggest problem I encounter too often is when I power up the unit, it shuts down after playing for about 5 seconds. However, it hangs on the "Shutting Down" message, and it never goes away. I have to remove the battery or press the reset button in order for it to go away.
The battery is nearly fully charged.
I can get it to go away by letting the battery discharge, then charging it up again. But this is a hassle, I don't want to have to do this. After the battery discharges again, and I recharge the unit, I am back into this cycle again.
I upgraded the firmware to the latest version on the creative site.
Please let me know what I can do to solve the issue. I am ready to take the unit back to best buy and get an ipod instead.

If you upraded the firmware then all you can really do is run a disk cleanup. To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.
If it still misbehaves then the player is faulty.
My only iPod owning friend has had to return his twice with battery problems. And I monitor an iPod forum which also is full of people with problems.

When switching on my Mac Pro on bootup it keep shutting down then eventually it works fine

I also have the exact same problem with my early 2008 Mac Pro. Last spring, the video card that came with the unit burned out. I brought it in to the Apple Store in my area, but they were unable to really help me out. I ended up replacing the card, but about two or three weeks ago I started having the same exact issue that you do - the Mac would suddenly die occasionally, and then would take quite a few tries to come back up. It seems that resetting the PRAM helps temporarily with me. It has been up since about 3 PM so far, and it is behaving.
My main issue is that replacement parts are expensive for this machine. If I were to replace the power supply and the logic board, Apple would charge me about a thousand bucks! That's simply too much money to drop on a 4 year old computer.
My solution is that I will run it for a while longer, and replace it with the Mac Mini with the ATI GPU. The Mini is about 85% as powerful according to Geekbench, and if it dies I will not be out more than a few hundred bucks.
I will be migrating all my OpenCL code to FreeBSD as well, because replacing a power supply or motherboard in a generic DIY PC is only a hundred or two dollars at the most.

I MAC SHUTS DOWN THEN QUESTION MARK APPEARS

NEW TO APPLE MY IMAC SHUTS DOWN THEN A QUESTION MARK APPEARS THEN IT RESTARTS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES ANY IDEAS IT DOES SEND A REPORT TO APPLE THANKS

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.

MY ipad will not power down anymore. Each time I try to power down it shuts down then powers up again.

See if this fixes it. Reboot and let the iPad start up, then try to power down.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

P55-GD85 shuts down then reboots on its own?

I have just set up a new P55-GD85, when I shut it down, it reboots on its own?
I would appreciate ideas on how to fix this do do a normal shutdown

Did you try disabling every option in the "Wake Up Event Setup"?
I just checked the Changelog for the latest BETA Releases for your board. The latest BETA Version is A7585IMS.132 [v1.3b2] and among other things it includes the following fixes that seem to address the problem you are experiencing:
Quote
- Fixed WOL still work after disable LAN controller.
- Fix after use LAN (on PCIE slot) wakup S1,system can't shut down from OS issue.
For you, this means good news: Your problem is already known and was, at it looks, already fixed. All you have to do right now is to contact MSI Technical Support and ask them to provide you with that BIOS Release.
http://support.msi.com/
Once you have the BIOS, ensure that your system is stable and then use the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to flash it (please avoid M-Flash or Windows based method for minimum risk).

My MacBook keeps shutting down, then restarting, endlessly

Hello,
Posting from my phone. :(
Have reviewed all related questions but nothing sends to help this situation.
For no apparent reason, my Mac shuts down and attempts to restart. This happens whether any programs are running or not, and regardless of whether I am even touching the computer. It has happened when I have been working, or in the other room. When it attempts to restart and fails, I have to hold down the power button, wait, then turn it ok again. The restarts were only every few days but frequency had increased now to every few minutes!
What can I do, and what could be the problem? I am out of warranty.
Context is relevant: two months ago my old battery died, and the fan was ticking loudly and always on. Brought her to the Apple geniuses at the local store. They were to take my laptop for an hour to replace the fan and battery. When I came back in an hour, my hard drive, which I had installed myself a year ago but had had no problems till then, had inexplicably failed. They could not restart. I went home to pick up my backup drive. They restored my computer there in the store, and put in a new hard drive, gratis, along with the new fan, which I paid for. Something about their anxious behavior and how long all this took suggested something else went wrong, but I could not ascertain what, exactly.
When I got home, everything seemed ok till my computer randomly shut down and restarted twice. This picked up in frequency over the past two months, and you know the rest of the story, except this:
When I opened up my Mac, under the battery, my warranty sticker had been partially peeled off presumably by a Genius, and was sticking up. This was a month ago. Yesterday I took out the hard drive and held a flashlight to the inside. There were little bits of glue-balls rolling around, which I picked out, and a random orange wire sticking up. One of the little rubber tracks that support the drive is missing, but this has been the case for a year, with no problem. The glue-balls and the wire, however, were new additions.
I am a student trying to graduate, pending on whether I can finish typing my final papers....
HELP?!
Thank you!

Try Apple Hardware Test - you need your original system installation DVD. Insert the DVD, and reboot while holding the D key.
If it is randomly rebooting due to a hardware fault, AHT might not even run. With all the detritus inside your MacBook that you describe, anything is possible.

Intermittently shuts down, then slowly gets worse - Satellite P30-133

Hi
Since I purchased this laptop in May 2005 it always had a sudden shut down problem and I am always on Mains!
I did set it as High Power and keep the CPU at 3/4 as well - this way the Fans are working better and the CPU does not overheat.
That was solved.
Then It started to do it again (very rarely) for no apparent reason.
I keep 'all' my computers well updated (drivers included) and lately when I started to do a HDD 'cloning' back up (using
Acronis) it starts the back-up and after a few minutes it shuts down. NOTE: I have been doing this since nearly 2005 wiht no
problems and I have installed the latest update (Acronis), to try and solve the problem.
THe problem is the laptop, as I use that program with other PCs with no problems at all.
Sometimes worked/sometimes not.
Lately (the last few weeks) it started to do it more often and I thought the ext. HDD was gone (I do not believe it!) and I
replaced the ext. HDD with another one I had (new).
It did work fine. Then the next time it did exactly the same (strangely, the other HDD seems intermittently recognised by
Windows (I connected it directly using a IDE/USB lead).
This is not the end.
In the last few days I had this lapto shutting down at its pleasure.
This morning, I switched on and after a few minutes I found it off! - Please note, I do have a new battery too.
Now it starts and as soon as it finished to load windows it shuts down.
I disconnected any external device and still the same - there are no drivers problem.
The other day, when it shut down and I re-booted, windows told me that there was a problem with the Audio driver which I
have installed using the link furnished.
Apart from that, I am completely in the S***
Any help, any idea.
Power supply and battery are new and working fine!
Instead of spending money (I did not want to) on the insurance which is a shambles and never used it (!), I could have purchased a MAC.
You can be very good wiht computers these days, but they are 'mostly' untrustable and all your effort to keep them fine - do
all your backups etc. are of no use and I am a tidy person by nature ! What more can I do? Use my old 386 or 486 - both still
working fine after 20 years?
I do not have a back up and I use it for business too.

Hi
There are F18 and F5 marked screw and you must get them all off.
Some of them are inside the HDD compartment.
I think I have got them all and I am now opening the part near the Screen hinges.
I already opened a Toshiba Pro sometime ago for one of my customers and repaired the DC socket - did it the same day for a business and saved his life! He is still thanking me.
There must be 1 or 2 screw left as I remember the keyboard comes 'swiveling' up towards you at the same time the top part near the screen hinges lifts up.
I have nearly done it!
After you get all the screw out, the silver surrounding comes up a bit, by inserting a tiny blade in the surounding gap.
Last time I did lift the keyboard easily, but not this time.
I cannot lift it !
Done it!
As I remembered the other one.
Just lif tthe silver part near the screen hinges - 'carefully! - and then the keyb has a couple of screws.
Obvious connectors to disconnect, get rid of the screen, etc.
Now I have the whole bottom part wih the mobo and I have taken out a few screws.
I cannot lif the mobo yet!
Once lifted, just a bit of cleaning - when?
Mind I have a antistatic bench and I am earthed!

Macbook Pro shuts down, then restarts every few hours

Hello,
I have a new Macbook Pro Retina 15"
OS X 10.9
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
A week ago I spilled some water on my macbook. I was able to wipe it off quickly, and shut down the mac. I let it dry for 24 hours. I then started it back up and it worked fine for the next few days. I'm not sure what's happening now is connected to this incident. I think it most likely isn't.
Today, my Mac randomly shut down on it's own in the afternoon. I didn't know if this was overheating, or RAM or what. I didn't know if it also had to do with how many files I was downloading as I don't have much space on my mac.
I connected it to power, opened it back up and it worked. Then I took off the charger, and went back to where I was. After a few hours this happened again. It shut down on its own. I should note that during this the Macbook didn't display a message of "Your macbook restarted because of a problem." It just shut down and restarted.
This happened again 3 times. I checked the System Diagnostic Reports, and I could not see any Kernel panics. I have no idea where this is coming from. Please help.

Hello,
Thanks for your quick response. I have checked the software, and its status read that my Mac will never shut down automatically. I have since deleted the software and all its related files, but still have the problem.
I took your advice about checking background processes as well, however, and using Activity Monitor saw one called 'task3runnerLE.' When I stop this from running I can download again without the Mac shutting down. So far so good! Problem is that when I reboot the computer ‘task3runnerLE’ is running again, and the Mac tries to shut down automatically after downloading. I could of course manually stop task3runnerLE from running each time I switch on the Mac, but I’d prefer to stop it from running at all. Any idea where this might have come from? (My guess is Mac Shutdown).

Satellite P100 shuts down then reboots

G'day, my laptop boots up fine and then after some time, a couple of minutes to a couple of hours, it will instantly die with no warning, then reboot as though it was a fresh start. There are no errors captured.
I've had the system checked, wiped the hdd, changed the hdd and mem, I'm runnimg XP pro.
it's on now in bios ok, but when in windows it will shut and restart. I don't think that temp is an issue because of the restarts at 4mins. 3yrs running fine, then this.
Any ideas???
Neil

Hi njgo2,
If you have already reinstalled Windows, it shouldnt be a software or driver issue. Theoretically it could be shut down due a higher internal temperature. Your notebook is 3 years old so have you already cleaned it? If not its time for that because a notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months. If you use compressed air spray, you will wonder how much dust comes out. ;)
So before you change anything, clean it firstly. It takes only few minutes and therefore its not necessary to disassemble it.

Why does my iPad 1 shut down then reboot by itself?

We have a first gen iPad that suddenly has begun shutting down by itself, then rebooting. Of course, it's just out of warranty (by 2 months). I've read some posts that suggest it is battery related, others that it is related to software. Any help from the experts out there would be great!

Hi amy,
I really doubt it is battery related, as batteries usually last a few years, however in some rare occasions there could be some form of fault.
It sounds like maybe there are some dodgy connections inside the device, which only a repair can solve.
Try restoring your iPad in iTunes - Plug the device in, and click restore under the summary tab.
If this doesn't help, I reccomend heading to an Apple Store and booking a genius appointment - these are free even if you have no warentee. Here they can discuss options with you, and will offer you a discounted replacement price. As your warentee ran out so shortly before the problem arose, they may be able to offer an exemption, ask nicely!
Regards,
Nathan
