iMac Late 2012 Continually Losing Power

1. Use a different power socket as a test.

2. Reset the SMC and PRAM and test.

3. Unplug all external peripherals except network, keyboard, mouse/trackpad and test.

You are trying a new power cord which is a good idea.

If the above fail take the computer in for service.

regards

Macs are extremely sensitive to RAM, uninstall the RAM you put in and re--test with original RAM that shipped with the computer. If the machine begins working OK then you have pinpointed your problem. Then replace the purchased RAM with high quality RAM from either Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com), you may pay a bit more but your problem is fixed.

If RAM is not the issue then please run an EtreCheck report and post the results here. Then we can look for any obvious software issues.

I see one major issue and possibly another, first is you use third party maintenance utilities on your iMac. The one I am referring to is Cleanmymac, this is crap ware that will bog down a systems operation. If you use any party utilities to maintain your system not only are the 100% unnecessary they can (and most of do) harm performance and system operation. Follow the developers instructions for uninstalling the apps 100%.

Find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this

You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.

Open Console.

If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.

Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.

To do that type the words shutdown cause in the Filter field at the upper right of the Console window.That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words.

Copy and paste those entries in a reply.

Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

The following recommendation regarding the CleanMyMac garbage is also applicable. It may not be the sole cause of the random shutdowns you describe but given the extent to which that Mac has been modified, it should be considered:

If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.

Using CleanMyMac to remove what it considers "junk" will corrupt a system.

Nothing less than erasing your Mac and rebuilding it from the ground up will undo the effects of having used it, and its developer's instructions for uninstalling it are not completely effective. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving those components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.

I know of no way to recover from the effects of having used CleanMyMac than to completely erase the volume on which it was used, reinstall OS X and essential software from their original sources, and restore your essential work files and other documents from a backup that has not been corrupted by CleanMyMac or anything else.

I know no other way to recover from having used it other than these recommendations.

May I suggest that you review the following setting in System Preferences?

Although you may easily override that setting, it will serve to protect you from inadvertently installing garbage.A downloaded disk image or installer package file itself can do nothing until it is opened and installed, and the above setting (known as Gatekeeper) will prevent that from occurring.

Randomly shutting down, if in fact that's what it is really doing and not just entering system sleep, strongly suggests a hardware fault but it would be preferable to confirm that suspicion with the system logs.

If you find no shutdown cause recorded in system.log scroll down the column on the left and examine the archived system log files. They start with system.log.0.gz and are numbered sequentially from there. It is possible an unexpected shutdown due to a hardware fault might not be logged.

While you're there examine the system.log file for other likely causes that preceded to the unexpected shutdown.

To do that type the words bootlog in the Filter field at the upper right of the Console window:

That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you started the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to shutdown.

Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.

Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:

All previously displayed log entries will reappear.

Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "BOOT_TIME". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before shutting down the Mac. This will result in a selection of perhaps 100 to 200 lines or so.

One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the unexpected shutdowns.

Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. Remember to delete or obscure any personal information before posting it.

Hi John and Lifeless Potato,

I too have the same problems of random shutdowns. I have had it in at the Genius Bar. They tested it for a week, put it on the brink and couldn't make it randomly shutdown. I have tried the lot, removed peripherals, changed power cords and even installed new power points. Alas the problem recurs.

My console gave me the following results in the past two hours:

Dec 8 20:33:34 localhost kernel[0]: Previous shutdown cause: 0

Dec 8 21:15:35 localhost kernel[0]: Previous shutdown cause: 0

Dec 8 22:14:22 localhost kernel[0]: Previous shutdown cause: 0

Dec 8 22:32:39 localhost kernel[0]: Previous shutdown cause: 0

The following is my bootleg search:

Dec 8 20:33:31 localhost bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1418034811 0

Dec 8 21:15:30 localhost bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1418037330 0

Dec 8 22:14:15 localhost bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1418040855 0

Dec 8 22:32:36 localhost bootlog[0]: BOOT_TIME 1418041956 0

Here's the log entry for the last BOOT_TIME:

Hi Guys,

Turned out to be a hardware issue for me. Genius Bar had to replace a number of parts in my iMac which solved the problem.

Hi all,

Anybody solved this issue? I had same model, same symptom for a while, recently happening more frequently.

I brought my Mac to Apple Store, tested for about a week, got power supply replaced. It looked good for about 2 weeks but I am experiencing same symptom again. Once the machine lost the power, I cannot turn it on. I have to unplug, wait 10+ seconds (press power button some time) then plugin and power on. So it became clear, it is not power supply issue.

I am not sure if software can cause this kind of issue. It is really sudden black out, not normal shutdown process. Symptom was there both on Mavericks and Yosemite(current OS). Not sure if I should just try clean install of OS?

Nothing seems to work for me, and I've heard conflicting reports about replacing logic board, graphics card, or power supply.. Afraid I'm just barely out of warranty, and I don't want to dump unnecessary $$ on this hunk of junk. I wonder if Apple diagnoses the problem, suggests a repair, you pay for that repair and it doesn't solve the problem, will they refund you or continue helping to repair? Or is it just money going further and further into the toilet??
