Hardware :: Imac Powers Up Automatically

Jun 18, 2008

Lately i've been coming home to find my imac on. I've been shutting it down due to all the thunderstorms in my area. Under the energy saver options, wake for ethernet... isn't checked off. I do run eye tv but i dont have anything scheduled. Is there anything else i should check? I have an external hard drive and printer connected to the usb ports. It's an intel imac, 5 months old, 1 gig of ram and running the latest version of leopard.

IMac (Intel) :: Powers Down While Starting In Safe Boot Mode Running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

Sep 9, 2014

My 2014 21" iMac powers itself down after about 10 seconds while trying to startup in safe boot mode. I'm not even sure why it is trying to start in safe boot mode. I shut it down after a power outage while plugged into an APS UPS. I'm guessing that since I interrupted the auto shutdown it is restarting in safe boot mode. Either way, I get a grey screen with a big apple and a progress bar. The progress bar gets to about a tenth full and the power just shuts off. 

I've tried starting up while holding the alt key to select the Macintosh HD. The same thing happens.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

MacBook Pro :: Only Powers On When Upside And Almost Closed

Nov 3, 2010

I have an older MBP (1.83 Intel Core Duo) When I push the power button, I hear a little electric noise, then a fizzle noise. It won't turn on. However, if I close it almost all the way and turn it upside down, it powers up fine. Once it's running, no issues. Any idea where to start with trying to correct this problem? I don't know what part could be making this happen. And yes, it has to be both upside down and almost totally closed.

Mac Mini :: Powers Up But No Chime Or Video?

Nov 8, 2009

I have an '07 vintage (DVI) Mac Mini I use as a media center. I haven't used it in a few months & its been shut down during that time. I went to start it up today & the power light went on & I could hear the fan start up but no start-up chime & no video.

I did an PMU reset to no avail. I'm thinking the logic board is done (it's under warranty & I have an appt. with a "genius" tomorrow). Just wondering if there is anything else I should try before I bring it in.

Mac Mini :: Powers Off Before Boot Completes?

Nov 9, 2009

My Mini powers itself down before it finishes booting.

It's a 1.25Ghz G4 Mini, so it's a few years old. As of the last few days the computer turns itself off. So I push the power button and I get as far as the grey screen and I see the circle logo rotate and I can hear the disk heads seeking if I place my ear near the Mini. But before the OS boots, while the screen is still grey the Mini powers off. It does this with the recovery DVD in the drive too. Either way it never boots

Is there a way to diagnose this?

Intel Mac :: Powers Down Before Boot Up Is Complete?

Jun 8, 2012

After a forced power down my iMAC won't boot again.

The machine simply powers off after the spinning gear on the gray start up screen spins for a few seconds. 

I've tried booting in safe mode, doing a PRAM reset and inserting the Installer DVD but I don't even get to any of these steps and the machine turns off.

OS X :: 10.4 Not Mounting - Powers Up - Not Complete Start Up Sequence

Apr 12, 2009

Problem: powers up, will not complete start up sequence What led to the problem: Ignorance, mostly. CD was stuck in vertical bay and I tried someone's suggestion to eject via terminal. If you are laughing (and/or groaning), you know what must have happened. Here are steps taken to rectify disk eject and start up problems, with the results. Note: iMac install disk one remains in the vertical bay, unable to be read or ejected. applejack, fsck -fy ... multiple times. Results: disk & permissions repaired and/or verified but OSX still will not start up. It starts with grey screen, goes to blue with grey window. Progress bar moves slowly from left to right and seems to reach 100%. Operation stalls at that point. Note: Any attempt to use diskutil stalls and commands such as list, mount do not execute. drutil eject gave these results: dyld library not loaded: /system/library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/versions/A/openGL referenced from: /system/library/frameworks/QuartzCore.framework/versions/A/Quartzcore reason: image not foundTrace/BPT trap

Mac Mini :: Core Duo 2 Powers On For 3 Seconds Then Turns Off

Dec 4, 2009

My first mini has a problem. It will power on with the light and then promptly turn off in about 3 seconds. The hard drive spins up but the fan does not turn on. No image on the screen or anything. the mini is open for diagnosis and will do the same thing if the CPU is not installed. Interesting question what will a mini do when it is powered on but doesn't have its CPU installed?

MacBook Pro :: Retina Mid 2012 - Powers Off While Sleeping

Aug 29, 2014

I have a recently-purchased MBP Retina 15 inch from Mid 2012. 

Every time that I put my laptop laptop to sleep while it is on battery, it sleeps fine for about an hour.  After an hour or so, I hear the boot sound come from the laptop.  When I open the screen at that point, the laptop is powered off.  I have to power up the laptop.  The laptop is not in hibernate mode, but has actually shut down (pressing other keys on the keyboard doesn't wake it up, I have to use the power button).   

Applications start back up when I log in, however for example VMWare has rudely powered off (so I lose the state of my virtual machines), and any terminal programs that I was running (even if I just had a document open in 'vi') are also terminated. 

I wonder, what causes this behavior?  Is my system defective in some way, or is there an OS tweak in Mavericks to stop the computer from rudely powering off/force quitting all open apps in the process? 

I've read that OS X now likes to hibernate laptops after an hour, but clearly hibernation isn't what's happening here.

IMac :: Comes Out Of Sleep Automatically?

Jun 3, 2010

Whenever I put my iMac to sleep it comes out of sleep immediately but the second time it goes to sleep and stays asleep.

I believe this is due to the bluetooth mouse I'm using however I have the setting to allow bluetooth to wake the mac turned off. Is there anyway I can pinpoint exactly what's causing this.

IMac :: Computer Goes Into Sleep And Wake Up Automatically

Dec 15, 2009

I had my iMac 27" for two months, and I am very pleased with the machine - except for one thing. When I put it to sleep, the computer just go to sleep in a couple of hours and then return to no-sleep. It started just after I bought the computer. I always set my computer to sleep, and so I did even then - but the first thing I noticed was that the hard drive was started during the first night. Strangely, I thought and put it to sleep again. Then I fell asleep, but when I woke up next morning the computer was on.

Then I wrote on another forum and they told me to check out: Wake up in network access, which I did. And then it got better. Now the computer has been without problems for a month, but then a few days ago it came back. This box is still check, so it can not have anything to do with it this time. I've also tried turning off all programs, the keyboard and mouse when it has gone down to sleep, but it still restarted. What is wrong? Please run with Sleep and it is a program that will prevent the computer to wake from sleep, but not:

2009-12-14 00:12:00.870 Please Sleep [8574:207] Sleep notification received from the system
2009-12-14 01:12:38.522 Please Sleep [8574:207] Wake notification received from the system
2009-12-14 01:13:53.122 Please Sleep [8574:207] Sleep notification received from the system

2009-12-15 00:50:54.357 Please Sleep [6883:207] Application is enabled
2009-12-15 00:51:57.358 Please Sleep [6883:207] Sleep notification received from the system
2009-12-15 04:05:05.591 Please Sleep [6883:207] Wake notification received from the system
2009-12-15 05:22:18.061 Please Sleep [6883:207] Sleep notification received from the system
2009-12-15 07:27:34.597 Please Sleep [6883:207] Wake notification received from the system

What can I do? Can I submit it to Applecare? Some peoples say you do not have to turn off a Mac, but I want to put it to sleep, but it starts up the next day. I've also restarted the SMC, but it gave no effect.

Hardware :: IMac G5 Automatically Goes To Sleep Mode?

Mar 5, 2009

My iMac G5 (OSX 10.4) starts up as normal, runs for about 5 minutes and then automatically goes to sleep. It will wake up if prompted, but every time it goes back to sleep in seconds. If left in sleep mode for a few minutes it will wake up again for 1 � 5 minutes before once again automatically returning to sleep.

It is definitely not due to hot corners. I changed the power saver settings several times, restarted and also reset the SMU but with no luck. I�ve also ran an apple hardware test which got the fallowing error code: �2FAN/4/8: CPU Fan�

Anything else I can try besides taking it in to an Apple service provider?

IMac PPC :: Make It Automatically Index A USB Drive?

Jun 13, 2012

When I connect a USB drive, it shows up on my desktop, but Finder won't find anything on it because it doesn't get indexed. I'm running OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) on an iMac G5 with a PowerPC G5 (3.0) processor. The drive in question is NTFS, but it also seems like the Mac doesn't index FAT-formatted USB drives if they were formatted on a PC. Is there any way that automatic indexing could have been turned off?  I think the department that had this system before we got it would have turned that off if possible, and I'd like to find out how to turn it back on?

OS X Yosemite :: Automatically Login To IMac Without Password

Dec 5, 2014

Recently brought iMac in for software upgrade. now 10.10.1 

After i got home, i realized that the iMac now always asks me to login with my password (which i do). But i would prefer not to have to login/put in password every time. just want my iMac to open as it always had. 

I assume i go to system preferences/users & groups. i see i am the current user/administrator. When i click "change password" it says: "*** is using an iCloud password to log in and unlock the screen.

do you want to change your iCloud password or stop using your iCloud password to unlock this mac AND CREATE A SEPARATE PASSWORD?" 

Don't want separate or any passwords. Do i just want to click the "change iCloud password" button? Ijust want to log in without a password. How do i do that?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7 8GB 1600 MHz

OS X Mavericks :: Photos Duplicating Automatically On IMac

Jun 27, 2014

I had around 300 photos on my iMac, (running OS X Mavericks), and whenever they I open them, or sometimes on random, they will duplicate themselves. I started with 300 original photos and by the end of 3 month, i had 5000 photos!!!! I have taken my computer to the Genius Bar 3 times and they have tried, but had no luck in fixing this image-duplicating bug. Last month, I painstakingly deleted all of the duplicates manually (as duplicate "finders" only found around 60 duplicates) and then though that they wouldn't duplicate anymore. Now, one wonth later, I have 2496 photos!!!!!!!! These photos are not in iPhoto.

IMac :: Magic Mouse Automatically Scrolls Down Quarter Of Way

Aug 3, 2010

I've been playing with my new iMac for 3 days now and I am still at awe. It's my first Mac. It's a completely different experience from a Vista. However, there is a minor, but quite irritating issue. I don't know if it's with the iMac or the magic mouse (which I've got comfortable with) but any web page I go to, it automatically scrolls down almost a quarter of the way. I've tried different surfaces. Happens all the time. Just as I start reading something, it scrolls down and I've to scroll back up and it would do it again.
