OS X :: Mac Tower Randomly Wants To Shut Down?
Jan 12, 2010We have a Mac Pro Tower Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 Mhz. with Apple HD 30 inch Display. OS X 10.5.8 with no Raid card. 4 GB ram, 300 GB hard drive, with only 30 GB left to use. A random message comes up asking me: Are you sure you want to shut down your computer? Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shutdown. I ran Disk Utility off the CD, repaired permissions. Rebooted computer and the message re-appeared after it loaded the OS X. I removed all startup process from 3rd party software. Turned off Bluetooth settings, as I have a wired keyboard and Mouse. What could be happening? No new hardware or software has been installed for 1 year. All OS X updates are current. I attempted to look in the console logs but some of the information is foreign to me.

Sep 15, 2009I installed Snow Leopard about a week ago on my MacBook Pro (purchased in early 2006). Since then I randomly get a blue screen and all the open applications shut down. I then have to re-open them. I can't see a pattern but I mostly use Microsoft Office for Mac and it occurs when I am in the middle of a word or excel document. I have found no reference online to this sort of problem. I have not installed any other new software or hardware during this time.

MacBook :: Pro Randomly Powering Off / What To Fix It?
Feb 24, 2010I'm hoping for some kind of insight on a phantom random shut off issue I'm having. I have a 2007 2.2ghz MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and upgraded to 4GB ram. Within the last month, it has started to randomly power off. At first it only happened when I closed the lid and it went into sleep, but when I would arrive at school it would have shutdown on the trip. In the middle of this, I also replaced the battery. The day I put the new battery in, the thing freaked out. It powered off randomly while I was working. I was in the middle of the first battery calibration so I thought it might be a battery issue. When I tried to power back on, it would start to load the desktop and then power off again. I couldn't get it through a full boot cycle. I tried various configs of old battery, new battery, with power, without power cord and nothing seemed to work. Reset the SMC and PRAM as well to no avail. The longer I let it sit the longer I could work prior to power failure. So I assumed it was FUBAR and walked away.
Next morning called apple care and of course, things seemed fine. However, 1.5hours in, shuts off. Crap, Apple Care said go to Genius bar get it checked. Three days at Genius bar, full hardware and stress test and everything passed flying colors. I thought maybe it was a naughty little gnome who had decided to move on and torment some other guy. 3 days go by no problem, then today during sleep it powered off again. Then tonight, twice while working with powercord attached (one time losing about an hours worth of Excel work, which was a nice bonus).
Since everything checked out fine, I'm struggling with what to tell Apple if I take it back for repair. I need the laptop, but trying to work expecting impending doom when it randomly decides to shutdown sucks. I have apple care, but if they can't find any issues then it doesn't do me any good.
Any suggestions? Is it worth trying to do a clean install or look at some kind of software issue? Has anyone else dealt with this kind of issue?

MacBook Pro :: Why Does It Randomly Go To Sleep
Mar 21, 2012I just recently noticed that in the middle of doing normal things on my MacBook Pro, it goes to sleep randomly. I have the 2.4ghz 13" 2010Â model. It happened twice so far within a 10 minute period. It has happened while charging through the AC adapter. It wakes up fine like usual, and when i close the lid and open it up, it actually wakes up faster than normal. I'm wondering if i should contact apple, or bestbuy (i have a 4 year warranty there)

MacBook Pro :: It Cuts Out Randomly
Apr 2, 2012my macbook pro has started to just cut out randomly. I have had this with an expanding battery and haven't had the money to replace it yet, but I don't know if this is part of the issue. When my computer cuts out, it is as though the power cable has been pulled out and the whole system just shuts off in an instant. I know that the power cable has definitely not come out, though.

Macbook Air Won't Shut Down?
May 1, 2012I'm a new Mac user. A few days ago, I tried to turn my Mac Air off by clicking "shut down" as I always do.But it wouldn't shut down.Moreover, there was no indication that I had even clicked "shut down." No rainbow circle telling me to wait.Days later, I'm still trying to restart or shut down my Mac, and I can't.It's like my computer isn't hearing what I want it to do!I press "shut down" and nothing at all happens.I can, however, just resume using my Mac as usual (internet works, ITunes opens, etc.)I've been browsing forums all day and nothing has helped.
