Computer automatically starts up when connected to power source

I turn it off, I close the top, I tuck it away on a shelf for the night, and plug it in to charge up while I sleep.
And it turns itself on.
Am I missing a setting in the System Preferences, or is this a glitch? It's a bit of a pain, I don't want my computer on all of the time, and if I neglect to plug it in before turning it off I have to wait for it to power up so I can turn it off again.
It's a Macbook Pro, brand spanking new, and what with all of the changes Apple has made to its operating system and user preferences, I don't know if I'm somehow missing something, or it's misbehaving. Any help would be appreciated.

Dammit. I was worried that was the answer.
Thanks, I'll try to find one in Cornwall, UK

Nano doesn't automatically start playing when connected to docking station

I have a Philips CD/Radio/ipod player that is compatible with my nano. My husband has the a nano (same generation) and when he connects his to the docking station, it automatically starts playing. He can use the controls on the machine vs on the nano. I can only start playing mine by clicking the play button on my nano.
I've gone through both of our nano's to see if there is a difference in settings and I can't find anything that's different.
Please help...it's really annoying.

So once you start it, can you then use the controls?
So what does it play when he plugs it in? It seems like he must be pre-selecting something to play, so maybe it's already in progress when he plugs in, and you are not doing that. Put some of his music in your iTunes and tell him to make it work - watch what he does very carefully
Does the ipod player say anything in the manual about more than one iPod or automatic playing?

Kernel panic after installing Yosemite (when connected to power source)

My Macbook Pro is crashing regularly since I installed Yosemite a couple of weeks back. This only happens when the laptop is connected to a power source and not in use. I get the following Kernel Panic message. Would really appreciate some help since this is beyond my pay grade
Thanks

Hey there Ketan,
In order to help you troubleshoot the cause of this Kernel Panic, I would recommend you use the troubleshooting in the following article:
OS X Yosemite: If your Mac restarts and a message appears
If your Mac restarts unexpectedly, an error known as a kernel panic occurred. After the restart, you’ll see a message that your computer restarted because of a problem.
The most likely cause is faulty software. A kernel panic can also be caused by damaged or incompatible hardware, including external devices attached to your Mac.
Important:    To print these instructions, click the Share button  in the Help window, then choose Print.
If the kernel panic is caused by a known problem, the faulty software is identified. To make sure that this software doesn’t continue to cause kernel panics, move it to the Trash.
If the faulty software is not identified and your Mac continues to experience kernel panics, try the following:
Restart your Mac in safe mode. If it successfully starts up in safe mode, choose Apple menu > App Store, click Updates, then install any available updates.
Uninstall any plug-ins or other enhancement software from manufacturers other than Apple. If you recently updated OS X or an app, plug-ins and other software that worked in the past may no longer be compatible. Read the manufacturer’s documentation (including Read Me notes) to be sure the software is compatible with your version of OS X.
Disconnect all USB and FireWire devices, except for the Apple keyboard and mouse. Remove hardware upgrades from other manufacturers, such as random–access memory (RAM) and Peripheral Component Interconnect cards. Then try restarting your Mac.
If this resolves the issue, reconnect one device at a time, restarting your Mac after reconnecting each one, until you determine which device is causing the problem.
Reset parameter random-access memory (PRAM).
Use Apple Diagnostics or Apple Hardware Test. These apps can tell you if hardware you installed, such as additional memory, is incompatible, improperly installed, or defective.
If the steps above don’t help, try reinstalling OS X.
Note:    If you moved or renamed an OS X system file or folder, you must reinstall OS X. It won’t work to just replace or rename the specific item.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Satellite L650-12Z: Led does not light up when connected to power source

My L650 does not show the white light anymore when the cable is plugged in.
The connectors are clean, and the adapter is working.
The laptop does still run on the battery ( when there was still power in it).
Also without the battery, there is no white light indicating that the laptop is connected to the DC.
Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to solve it?

Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately the battery does not charge when connected.
Only when connected with the full battery it is working.
I have measured the adapter with my multimeter and it seems to be working properly.
Like you said, letting a technician look at it would be a smart idea.
I decided to send it to a service center in my city, in about 4 weeks I would have the notebook back they said.
Weird thing for me still is, that around three weeks ago the same happened. Windows said the power was not connected. But after plugging the power in and out a few times it worked again. Maybe this is a symptom of something?

Automatically starting iTunes when connecting iPhone

I have tried searching the community board but I haven't fouind an answer that fits my problem.
I am running Win 7, iTunes 11.03.42 with a iPhone 4S.
When I open iTunes, Preferences, there is no option to check that says open iTunes on connection. I remember that from older versions of iTunes.
What do I do to make iTunes start upon connection of my iPhone?
Thanks, everyone

Howdy Westslope,
Here is an article outlining a preference that would prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
iTunes 10 for Windows: Prevent unprompted syncing of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH1677
To prevent unprompted syncing for a specific iPod, iPhone, or iPad:
Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
In iTunes, select your device (below Devices).
Click Summary, and then deselect “Open iTunes when this Device is connected.”
To prevent unprompted syncing for all iPod, iPhone, and iPad devices:
In iTunes, choose Edit > Preferences.
Click Devices.
Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted.
To sync your iPod, iPhone, or iPad when unprompted syncing is disabled, connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer, and then choose File > Sync “Device Name” in iTunes, or click your device (below Devices) and then click Sync.
In the second part of that snippet
"Select “Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.”If this checkbox is selected, any connected iPod, iPhone, or iPad won’t sync without being prompted."
It will also prevent iTunes from opening automatically.
Cheers,
Sterling

My ipod touch is completely unresponsive. Will not turn on at all even when connected to power???? HELP!!!

button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer and see if iTunes sees the iPod. If it does try restoring the iPod via iTunes. If it is not visible try the following to make it visible:

My Macbook Pro ran out of battery last night and wouldn't turn back on even when connected to power for a period of time. However, when I woke up, it did turn on. Is there a reason this happened and should I get it looked at?

Last night, I was watching something on my Macbook Pro and it died (out of battery). I went to plug it in and waited a couple of minutes to try and start it back up. However, when I connected the power source the light was green, which could not have been the case since I know 100% it was out of battery. I proceeded to hold the start button for a long period of time, but my computer made no noise and refused to turn on - it looked like for all intensive purposes it was dead. I left it alone overnight praying that it would be alright in the morning and luckily, when I opened the computer this morning it was restarted and fine. I'm concerned because I've had this happen to me a couple of times and while it always turns back on, I feel like there is a bigger issue that I need to get addressed. Can anyone help me with this? Any ideas? Thank you!

Apple Does Not recommend that. Please Read.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
From that article
"Portables with built-in batteries"
Current Apple portable computer batteries are pre-calibrated and do not require the calibration procedure outlined in this article. These computers use batteries that should be replaced only by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Apple recommend calibrating the battery when you buy a new Macbook and then every few months, or monthly if it used on mains all the time. This, as Apple says is to keep the battery operating at maximum efficiency. When the battery discharges and shuts the macbook down, it still has reserve power for a good number of hours. There is also a logic board battery to hold various settings.
I rather think I will take Apples advice on using their equipment not yours, but I would be intrigued to discover what is it you know that Apple doesnt about its batteries?

MBP shuts down when connecting to power

Since a week or two, my MacBookPro from early 2011 shuts down when connecting the magsafe to power. Also when starting up again it will start up fine and fast from battery, but I need to hold the power button for several seconds when connected to power.
Another problem I had earlier as well is CPU (kernel task) of over 90%, which I now see clearly, only occurs when connected to power. I used to solve this problem by putting the MBP to sleep, but now, when put to sleep, it will shut down.
When on battery, I have no CPU problem and can put machine to sleep without a problem.
I recently started uploading everything to dropbox, and activate caffeine to make sure it will keep uploading. My computer will run for days on power combined with caffeine, but is as slow as **** because of a >90% CPU.
The battery has had a notification for maybe a year, that it needed service, so today I finally bought and installed a new battery, but the problem is not solved. Is this software or could it be my magsafe adapter? Thanks for you help.

It sounds like a problem with the power management inside your MBP. I suggest you call Apple to make an appointment at your local Apple store for them to check it out for you.

My MacBook Pro will not powerup (even when connected to power supply).

My MacBook Pro will not powerup (even when connected to power supply). The caps lock key is the only light on.

Hi PatB11902,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your MacBook Pro does not seem to power on, but the caps lock key will light up when you press the caps lock key, you are likely seeing a video issue.
There are several steps that can help troubleshoot this behavior, found at this link:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Start with these steps:
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Start up in Safe Mode.
If your Mac does not start up normally after these steps, here are some additional tips that can help:

Verify you have a good connection from your Mac to the wall outlet by confirming the power cord and adapter if present are securely connected and plugged in. To check if the wall outlet is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.
If the wall outlet is working and you continue to have no power try another power cord or adapter if available. If it works you may need a replacement cord or adapter.
Disconnect all accessories that are plugged in to the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
If your Mac supports user-installable memory, solid state drive, or hard drive, and you recently installed any of these, make sure they are installed correctly and are compatible with your computer. If possible, reinstall the original memory or drive into the computer to find out if the behavior persists afterwards.
If you are still unable to start up your computer after trying each of these steps, visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for further diagnosis. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ (available in some countries only).
Note: Diagnostic fees may apply for issues not covered under warranty or the AppleCare Protection Plan (APP).
Sincerely,
Jeremy

In Lion, running on an i MAC (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs from automatically starting up when I start my MAC?

In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

Why would my iPod show a full battery when connected to power but when not connected it will no longer turn on

For both
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB?

    How do I set up my iPhone 4s to sync automatically to iTunes when connected to my iMac via USB? Currently it only syncs when I manually click on sync.
    Somehow I do have my 5th gen. iPod set up to sync automatically with the same iTunes / computer. But I do not actually see a checkbox for either device.
    (yes, the 'prevent devices from automatically syncing' is unchecked)
thank you!

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook?

Is there a way to prevent iTunes from starting up when connecting an iPad to my Macbook? We use Apple Configurator and would love to be able to set up the MacBook to open Apple Configurator when we plug in an iPad.

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.
