OS X :: Update And Shutting Down Automatically
Feb 1, 2010Does anyone know anyway of updating and then shutting down automatically (like on windows) on 10.6. If there isn't then is there any third party apps that can do this.

Aug 3, 2009I have a MAc Pro, Bought in January 09, pretty much stock except for an exta 500 gb drive and the Nvidia video card.
I have a strange problem, I will be using the computer and it will just shut down. Ie my LCD monitor shows the "RBG MODE" screen which it shows during a reboot or if turned on when computers off. My Intelli mouse explorer laser mouse turns off but if I click the laser turns on and off with each click and the power light on the tower is lit but nothing turns the machine off/on unless I hold it down till it reboots.
This has been happening since about the beginning of July, happened last week again every 10 minutes or so it would do this. Saw a post that said it's cause its too hot and its shutting down for safety, I have Istat and the temps at that time was 35 degrees celcius ambient and the processors when watching a dvd or somthing was around 40 degrees, I installed smc fan control and ramped up my fans and with them runing 1500 rpms the temperatures have been steady at around 32 ambient and 35-37 for the vaious sensors. Today the heat wave is over and istat says the ambient is 26, processors and drives are still 35-37 and it rebooted again.... is my machine running hot or is it somthing else.. I am at a loss. It is a Stat holiday here so I cant call my local repair place. Running OSX 10.5.7 any other info is available if needed.

MacBook :: Overheating And Shutting Down On YouTube - Fans Not Running?
Jul 5, 2012My Macbook's been overheating and shutting itself down the past two days, usually when on YouTube. Having installed the Fan Control system preference, I can see the fans aren't running at all. My first thought is that they might be broken, but this happened for a little while last year, too, and the fans started working again after a while. Also, it's been miserably hot in my area the past week, and I wonder if that's contributed to it, too (even though the laptop's in an air-conditioned room). Anyway, should I wait and see if the fans begin working again, take it to a repair shop (warranty's expired, so I'm not keen on that), or maybe buy a cooler pad?

Aug 23, 2010Is there any way to have Terminal automatically run a command each time it is opened? I want to always have my background as my screensaver with the command
Code:/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background & and I have made an alias for the command so that I can just type in ss, but I have to type it in every time I open up terminal. I'd like to have Terminal start at login in the hidden state and run my screensaver background command automatically.

IMac PPC :: G5 Keeps Shutting Down
Jul 1, 2012Recently a email link was clicked on and since then my wife has been having issues with her G5 shutting down. Sometimes the box will not completely boot at all and others it will boot up for a moment and then shut itself off.
I have looked for teh Flashback Trojan and appear to be clean. If i boot the box in safe mode when booted in safe mode all seems okay. I have also recently reset the PRAM and have had the machine up for a few minutes and it has not shut down yet.

Feb 2, 2009I have a refurbished iMac G5 that randomly just shuts off. It makes a little "zzzttt" sound, like something is short circuiting and then dies. Sometimes I can power it right back on and sometimes I have to unplug it and wait a few hours before it will come back on. While it's running, there are no issues. It functions beautifully. Anyone else had this type of problem or can you suggest a solution? Here's the info on it:

OS X :: New IMac 20" Not Shutting Down
Feb 4, 2009I've learned quite a bit from this site in recent weeks as I found it following my purchase of a 20" iMac (2.66 GHz) a month ago. I've got a question for the group and I'm quite certain it's a stupid one so please be gentle. As I do every night, last night I put my iMac to sleep at around 11:15 pm before going to bed. Upon awaking this morning I couldn't get it to wake up. Hitting keys on the keyboard didn't do it, nor did moving the mouse around. I'm not sure if this is important but both my keyboard and mouse are wireless. Power to the other things on my desk was still on so it wasn't a power problem.
Anyway, I hit the power button on the back to see if it had simply shut itself off and nothing happened. I hit it again. still nothing. Finally, hitting it a third time did the trick and the computer roared to life and came on normally. It had never done this before. It had always immediately awakened in the morning upon hitting a button on the keyboard. First, is this common for an iMac to shut itself down? Second, why would the power button be unresponsive? Finally, if the machine had actually not been off (which I doubt very seriously) did I do a big "no no" by hitting the power button to turn it off/on?
MacBook :: Shutting Down Randomly - How To Prevent From Shutting Down
Mar 23, 2010I have a MacBook which has recently been shutting down when it feels like :/ this all started a week or two ago (well not the shut downs but other issues that I'll get too), basically the fan I think has been knocked as it is bumping the top or something as the whirring is getting loud and it sounds like every now and again it hits something
Also CPU usage seems to be averaging out at 20% for Safari and 100% for HD Video where as it used to be very small amount for Safari and 30 - 40% for HD.
PowerPC :: IMac G5 Overheating And Shutting Down
Dec 31, 2010I don't know if it is a fan or a drive that starts up and runs really fast and loud, then the computer shuts off. I always thought it was the fan, but now am not sure. I have moved it to a place where it is exposed to more air, but that has not seemed to help. Does anyone have an idea or solution to this problem? The nearest Mac dealer is about 80 miles away, so if I can fix this on my own, I would like to try.

OS X Yosemite :: IMac Shutting Down Unexpectedly
Dec 6, 2014I have a late-2009 27" iMac i7 with 8gb Ram and a 1TB HD. I updated my OS to Yosemite soon after it came out. Now, I admit I don't use the computer that often, so it took a while to notice the issues but, we first realized there was a problem in early November when my husband could not download a game (presumably because of the wi-if connectivity issues supposedly fixed in the latest update). It was around a week after he finally was able to download tthe game, that he was playing it and the computer would just shut down out of nowhere. No warning, just shut down and restart with the "your computer shut down unexpectedly" screen.
Now, because it happened so many times, I started to get worried about all of my photos and music that is stored on thIs computer, so I went to do a back-up on my time capsule. This was when I noticed my computer had at some point been renamed (not by any human) to "my Computer (3)" when prior to yosemite (as far as I can tell) it was named "my computer". Also at this point I could not for the life of me get the time capsule to back up the computer as it was looking for "my computer" and all that was available was "my computer (3)". This is when it had been working flawlessly for years. I ultimately had to wipe the TC completely, reformat it and start a back up from scratch. It was for the short period of time that the time capsule was not connected to the computer that we noticed it was no longer shutting down unexpectedly. however, one the TC was reconnected and doing a back up, anything extra that you would be doing (with the exception of web surfing) caused the computer to crash.
So, simple fix, right? Turn off the auto back ups while and try to remember to turn them on every so often. fine , dandy, whatever. However, I have done the latest yosemite update and the wi-if still does not seem to be staying connected, disconnecting every few minutes. Now I'm seemingly having more issues with a game that is well within the limits for my computer and the game will not start.

OS X :: Macbook Running Leopard And IMac Running Tiger - How I Can Upgrade Them Both?
Nov 15, 2009I have a Macbook running Leopard and an iMac running Tiger. I am looking to upgrade Leopard to Snow Leopard and Tiger to Leopard. If I were to purchase Snow Leopard and install it on the Macbook, would I then be able to use the copy of Leopard that came with the Macbook on the iMac? I am not trying to use 2 copies of the same thing on different machines, I just want to put a new os on one machine and move the existing one to another.I am reluctant to purchase the Mac Box Set version of Snow Leopard for the iMac because I do not want or need iLife and iWork.

Dec 16, 2009I don't know if this has been discussed here but all of a sudden my iMac, running Snow Leopard, 10.6.1) keeps waking up all on it's own. I believe this started after the latest update of Java and Super drive firmware (I believe these were the latest updates).
Is there anything I can do short of shutting the computer down.

PowerPC :: IMac G5 Started Randomly Shutting Down When Not Used
Feb 5, 2008I looked into my issue a little but recently my IMac G5 started randomly shutting down when left unused for a bit but that seems to have stopped as far as I have noted. Now occasionally when it goes into sleep mode it will freeze on the black screen and the fan will go crazy. I plan on buying a MBP, if the update ever comes out, and then ill just completely wipe the IMac and give it to my parents, who still use the original I mac, G3 or something. I read a certain series of I Macs were having motherboard problems, W950 or something, but mine wasn't that serial code.

Mar 29, 2009I use "Ctrl+Shift+Eject" to shut off my iMac screen (not shutdown) usually before I go to sleep, but recently, I've had to hit it 5 or 6 times before it actually turns off the screen. It also happens when putting the computer to sleep pressing "Option+Command+Eject".
