  • Startup gets past Dell logo to Windows logo, but not further unless I put it to sleep mode and then wake up

    Hi guys, new to the forum and very much hoping to get help to the following problem:
    I'm experiencing a very unusual problem that I've never encountered before nor read about anywhere on the internet. After installing a clean install of Windows 8 on my Dell Inspirion N5050, startup does get past the Dell logo and onto the Windows loading logo.
    However, it won't go further than this. The logo goes away, leaving the screen blank (NOT black) and it won't continue to the logon page or start menu. All lights are burning (meaning it's working somewhere underneath that weird blank screen). And the funny
    thing is that when I press the power button (or close the lid) to put it to sleep and then wake it up by pressing again, the logon/start menu is there and Windows is working perfectly.
    In short: everything works perfectly, except that I have to put the computer to sleep and wake it back up in order for me to see/get into windows.
    Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'm so utterly confused here!
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Hi,
    This issue can be caused by failing to load files or drivers.
    First, I suggest you to try to boot into Safe mode, and shut down and power on to see if there is the same issue:
    Please use these steps to boot into Safe mode:
    Windows key + Run -> Type msconfig, and press Enter -> Under Boot tab, check on “Safe boot” -> Click Ok to restart computer.
    To disable boot into safe mode automatically, repeat above steps  and uncheck the Safe boot option.
    If the issue not persists, please try to disable fast startup to make sure all the drivers were load properly and check the results:

    Can we get this done?
    If the issue still persists, please post back the event log (System) here for further research:

  • Itunes wont open unless restarting computer

    itunes wont open unless restarting computer. Bought my first piece of music through itunes store. Shortly thereafter couldn't open itunes after closing it unless restarting the computer. Had no problems previously. Not very computer savvy. Computer usually opens straight to admin user. Created a new (standard) user account as suggested. Opens,closes,reopens ok there. Tried disabling Bonjour, didn't help. Ideas?

    No. Computer set up to automatically open "admin" user account when starting. Only created new "standard" user account to see if that worked.  It did. But still had same problem in admin user account.

    Remove "Boom" and test.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery.

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

  • Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode

    Hi. My Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode with varying time between each instance. It usually goes for a few minutes or even hours without doing it and then will go through periods of fluctuation between the modes. I believe this to have started with a minor orange juice accident rather than it being anything software related.
    Any ideas as to how I might rectify the problem? Thanks very much in advance,
    Danny

    When you say it goes into sleep mode ...do you mean you actually see the white pulsing light?
    It may be that there is an application running (perhaps in the background) that is keeping your book awake. Printer software sometimes does this for example ...try logging out and seeing if it sleeps like that. If it does, then it very well may be a background process running.
    You may find some items in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items that may be the culprit.

  • My 3050 J610 printer goes into standby or sleep mode and then I cannot print docs to it wirelessly

    Everytime I do not print something for a few hours, my printer goes into standby or sleep mode.  When it does this, it cannot be used to print from my laptop or android to it.  Is there a way to set this up so that it doesn't "go to sleep" and it is always available to me to print with.  I like the printer, but it seems kind of off that you cannot print on it wirelessly and it is considered a WIRELESS printer.  That's the only reason I bought it and now I can't even use it without walking downstairs and turning the printer back on again.  If I wanted to do that every time I would just print from my main computer!
    Thanks,
    Ashley
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Ok, I know this thread is a little old, but it would not allow me to start a new one, since I am new. I am having the same issues with my 3050 J610 as everyone else. It makes you think there is a wireless connection problem, but that is not the case. The printer goes into a standby mode and there is no way to bring it out of it, unless you cycle the printer. The panel buttons will still work, you just lose the ability to print wirelessly.
    I have had my 3050 J610 in two different rooms, master bedroom and basement office. Both areas work well when it is connected and awake. After a while of inactivity, it goes into standby mode and cannot print wirelessly. Here are steps I have taken so far:
    When the printer goes into standby and will not print wirelessly, I have check to make sure there is still a connection between the router and the printer - There is
    I have set a static Id for the printer at .210
    Cycling the printer brings the connection back instantly.
    The front panel buttons work just fine when it does not have connectivity
    In the basement, the machine has excellent signal and connection.
    I have checked the recommendations in this thread, and like others, there are no options under the advanced tab of the maintenance page. The problem is a standby or sleep issue. When this arises, it has connection to the router, but the wireless computer does not have connection to the machine. I know when it was in the bedroom, the light would blink 3 or 4 times now and then throughout the night. We need a way to turn off the standby, or bring the machine out of standby mode. It is not an issue of the router, channel, interference, or software. It is the sole issue of standby or sleep modes. I have been pulling my hair out for almost two years over this issue. I swore I would not buy another HP product after the problems I had with a printer and laptop. But I thought I would give HP another chance.

  • RBDAPP01 going into SLEEP Mode and Idocs still in 64 status

    Hey all,
          I have a Inbound Idoc interface which is being processed using RBDAPP01 Program. The Issue I am facing is that the job running the rbdapp01 program goes into sleep mode even though there are idocs present in 64 status. I tried to debug the work process using SM66 but it does not open any debugging window although it says debugging started. If I cancel the Job and run it again it processes those Idocs Any input on how one can resolve this issue?
    Thanks.

    Hi Aparna,
    Here is extract from SAP material on running RBDAPP01 transaction and possible reasons for delay in processing. HOpe this can help you.
    To automate the treatment of IDocs, you must run the ABAP program RBDAPP01 (transaction BD20) in job. This program has a very good option for parallel processing which can reduce a lot the time required for treatment. However use it carefully and make sure you set a packetsize high enough to avoid that your SAP system be overwhelm by demands for available dialog tasks (don't forget one dialog task is monopolized per IDocs packed to treat).
    Best Regards,
    Krishna

  • 24" imac goes into sleep mode and lights on circuit flicker

    Hi -
      I have a 24" imac and have found that when the display goes into sleep mode the lights on the circuit flicker.
      I have searched the web and other users have complained of the same issue with no resolution.  
      Here is a similiar post - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2606099?start=0&tstart=0.      The resolution is probably you need to get the iMac serviced,  what i'm wondering is what is the problem in the imac that is causing the issue.    Is this a defect?
      Before anyone questions the circuitry in my house here is what I have verified.
      An electrician has come and verified the electric panel is good and all circuit breakers are good.   All circuits in my house are copper, no aluminum.
      I can plug the iMac into any circuit and the problem starts right when the Imac's display goes to sleep.     I have owned the iMac for approximately 5 months now (bought it used) and the problem started about a month ago.
      Assuming this has to be serviced I dread to wonder the price .
      Thanks for anyones help.

    The sleep timeout has nothing to do with disk activity. It's based on user input, although some background processes can pre-empt it. If you don't want the machine to sleep automatically, disable automatic sleep in the Energy Saver preference pane.

  • IPhone 5c IOS7.0.3, other people can no longer hear me during calls unless I tap into speaker mode and back?

    Hi,
    I'm currently using an iPhone 4S, but my partner has just bought an iPhone 5c. A while ago, before the IOS7 upgrade, my phone would for some reason act as if I had clicked mute during calls. Nobody would hear me, but I could hear them perfectly. The only fixes were to hang up and recall them back, or to switch it to speaker mode and back again. Very annoying. However, after updating my IOS, it suddenly stopped doing this. It was fixed, I was happy, game on.
    But recently, my partners phone which was working perfectly fine before the new IOS7.0.3 update, has developed this problem. Exact same issue, exact same solution. I wouldn't mind so much, but shes bought this phone in the last month, its a brand new phone, new software, new model... It shouldn't still be doing this! Whats worse is that when driving, its very dangerous for her to have to keep switching between speaker and not just to get her phone working. (She drivers with the phone in a cradle with hands free on).
    This issue is... Annoying. I've found that its not exactly a rare thing, and that a lot of people have had it for quite a while, but the only solution I've seen is to open the back of your phone and cover a certain part with paper/cardboard... Not exactly what we want to do is it.
    Does anybody have any advice or a solution to this, as I'm going a little crazy trying to reset everything and fix it!
    Thanks in advance!

    Same issues here. Sometimes during outgoing calls, people cannot hear me at all, even when the signal strength is good. Only solution is to soft reset the phone. A couple of times the person could hear me for the first few seconds of the call then it dropped completely.
    I also experience the issue with the 3G data as you described (I think they are related... i.e., when the 3G data isn't working, the issues with outgoing calls exists too). The phone will just randomly seem to lose it's internet connection, even with full signal strength. Soft reset/toggling airplane mode fixes this.
    I called Apple support; they asked if I was covering the microphone during outgoing calls (as if I'm that stupid). Come on Apple, I have a University degree in Computer Engineering, don't insult my intelligence! They then asked me to restore the phone (which I already did). Next solution they offered me was to replace the phone by sending me a new one first (at a cost of $35), or I could send it back and be phoneless for a week while they send a new one (which is not an option for me). I also put on a $30 Invisibile Sheild so if I exchange it, I already lose that. I believe the issue is not with the hardware, since the microphone seems to work just fine. Given that it is intermittent like this, it seems there's a software/firmware error somewhere that gets the phone into a bad state.
    Very disappointed that the $800 phone I just bought functions worse for phone calls than the Nokia brick I had 8 years ago.
    If anyone has a permanent solution for this that doesn't involve exchanging the phone, please let me know.

  • I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly.  I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect.  It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

    The problem is not happening with any other device that I have.  My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine.  In fact, it's not even the connection.  The computer will connect to the net.  It just will not open any page.  It starts to open and then hangs and hangs.  It will not move.  Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing.  Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING!  Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network? 

    This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
    To make it work i followed those steps.
    1.- Restart
    2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
    3.- Uninstall netwokrs
    4.- Shut down
    5.- SMC reset
    6.- Reinstall networks
    I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
    Hope it helps,
    Cheers

  • Computer went into sleep mode and will not wake up!

    I have a HP Pavilion a350n which I love and have never had a problem with it.....until now.
    When I turn it on I get a black screen with a small window that reads "Warning" "PC entering power saving mode"  Then the screen goes blank and the blue power light on the monitor turns an amber color.  The only way I can turn off the computer is with the blue power button on the front of the tower.
    Every "fix" I have come across says to do a System Restore from the Start Menu....How do you get to the start menu when you can't wake up the computer!
    I have tried disconnecting the main power cord from the outlet and reconnecting it and turning the computer back on.  Nothing but the same "Warning....."
    I tied hitting the F1 button at turning on the unit and nothing......
    I checked the monitor connection at the rear of the computer and can't see any bent or broken pins.  Cord looks great too.
    I took the back off and was going to try and unseat the memory card and reseat it again, but I don't know much about the inside of a computer and am not sure where the memory card is or what the hec it even looks like!
    Thanks for any help!

    First try another monitor. What type and model of monitor do you have now?
    If the computer turns off also, it could be shutting down due to hardware issues. Open the case and clean out the dust and then pull the video card and memory and reseat them. Then try to boot up.
