Odd Power(maybe) Issues

I've just recently purchased my Mac Pro and have tried multiple times to leave it on, with the monitor set to sleep (using hot corner) and the computer set not to sleep. The purpose is to be able to access my music library while on the go. For some reason, when I come back to the computer it won't wake, the power light is on so I'm assuming it froze or had a kernal panic.
I'm running Simplify Media and a Hawking USB wifi adapter to access my music on the go, no other 3rd party peripherals. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I use the hot corner to sleep the monitors, not the computer. I use the hot corner because of sheer laziness. I have one LG LCD and one Samsung LCD. As far as I can tell the computer hasn't had any issues since the first two instances. I am leaving it on again today, so we'll see.

  • G5 Powermac Dual Core Power Supply Issue

    My G5 Dual Core 2.3 GHz was working fine till this morning when at about 6:00 AM the power supply started making a bunch of noise. Luckily I was at home not at work so I pulled the plug...waited a while, powered on again, saw the apple logo and decided to turn it off till I get it fixed.
    This is the third G5 I have with power supply issues. The first one was a dual processor that hums when doing a lot of networking or when attaching USB flash drives...so apparently there was a extension program on that one. I sold that and switched to the dual core machine, then both of the dual cores had power supply issues. One got replaced under Apple Care. The 3rd one just had the issue happen.
    Anybody having bad luck with these? My old G4 DP 1.42 has been running almost flawlessly since it came out (only replaced the main fan for a more powerful and quieter unit).
    Have the power supplies for the Dual Core G5 machines been redesigned or should I expect my new one to fail again?

    Hi Jack,
    I'm sorry. You did note that with your first G5 you knew of the extension program. Too early in the day for me I guess. Personally I haven't sensed from the G5 discussions that Power Supplies have been a major continuing issue, but there certainly have been a lot reported. Usually it's Logic Boards that keep getting fried for one reason or another. Fortunately it doesn't seem to be the most expensive thing to replace, especially if you buy a used one. Maybe someone will chime in who is more observant then I am this morning.
    For what it's worth I still have the first Mac I ever bought which is a PM8500. It still runs fine whenever I pull it out from it's dusty storage. By contrast this is my third G5.
    Edit: Up early and fasting for a test... I just caught your reference to 3 years. That time frame I have seen a lot here, usually 3 years plus a few months, just out of Applecare. Apparently for G5s thats like 90 in Mac years.

  • Power on-Power off issues with X200

    I am having power up and power down issues with my Lenovo X200.
    Prior to the immediate problem, I would experience occasional unexpected shutdown of the computer (I would hear a relay click when it happened), and on some occasions when I put it into hibernation, then power it back up later it would not resume, instead, it would restart with a new session of Windows.
    About a month ago, it shut down while I was using it.  I powered it back on, but it took a long time (nearly a minute) to get the “ThinkPad” initial boot screen, then the screen would be blank for about a minute, then I would get a screen that read, “Intel Management Engine BIOS Extension v 4.0.4.0007” and also “M.E Initializing……”   That screen would show for about a minute, then I got another screen reading “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair.  Please wait.”  That screen would show for about 5 minutes, then it would read, “Generation failed!!!” for about 5 seconds.  After that, it would boot to Windows (I am using Windows 7 Professional).
    When I would shut it down, either in hibernate mode or full shutdown, after the hard drive icon stopped flashing (indicating it had shut down), the power icon, battery icon would stay on, and the “sleep” icon would flash.  I would have to hold the power button down to turn those icons off; if I failed to do that the power would stay on until the battery completely drained.
    I read something about the “Security chip is generating endorsement key pair” message so I went into BIOS and changed the security chip from “Active” to “Inactive”.  However, when I would start the computer with the chip “inactive”, it would go first to the initial boot screen, then to the “M.E. Initializing” message, then the screen would go blank and remain blank, not ever booting to Windows.  So I went back to BIOS and changed the security chip to “Disabled”.  With it disabled, it will boot up, but still is very slow booting and I still get that “M.E. Intializing” message for about a minute, and also I still have to hold the power button down to power down the computer after I shut it down (or hibernate) with Windows.
    The good news is that, after this started happening, I have not encountered an unexpected shutdown nor has it failed to resume the previous windows session if I hibernate it.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your help.

    The difference may be that the G5 iMac bus (where your fire wire plugs into the back) is a powered bus. What this means is the LaCie drive will "sense" the power from the bus and not turn off. The power it gets from the fire wire bus however may (is) not be enough to actually operate it, only leave it on. You still need to the drive into a power outlet.
    In the LaCie manual (CD that comes with drive) and the FAQ section of LaCie's web page it states this as well.
    What I do is manually turn the drive on when needed (performing back up or for scheduled back up). The LaCie drive should be quiet when not in use as it has no fan.
    PS - try SuperDuper for backups, much better (IMHO) than Silverkeeper.

  • Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz - Bad Logic Board or Power Management Issue?

    I have a Power Mac G5 DP1.8GHz/1.5GB/80GB which I bought non-working. It has not yet been disassembled or examined by a certified tech. This is it's issue (which replicates): the computer powers on. It makes a single warning tone, then the LED flashed at least 15 times (too fast to count). Then the posting chord is heard. Hard drive spins up. Then nothing (no video). Won’t boot from any disk. I have changed the RAM and tested the RAM banks with known-to-be-good RAM from another DP1.8GHz G5. The warning tone stopped once or twice after this switch, but then it didn’t chime. I changed the PRAM battery, but not with as new one. However, after installing the used one and then resetting the PMU, it displayed video briefly for the first time. While installed in the other 1.8GHz G5, the hard drive was formatted, given a clean install of OS X 10.4.11, and then moved into this computer where is never mounts. The computer is not accessible through TDM.
    Do I have a bad logic board? Bad CPUs? A power managment issue? A RAM issue?

    Through my own trial and error troubleshooting, I have found the CPUs to be in good working order and the logic board passes the Apple Service Diagnostic every time. Despite the installation of numerous pairs of modules that worked in another DP1.8GHz, the computer has a RAM issue-it gives the "no good RAM" tone most of the time when it powers up (after a PMU reset it does not). Also the computer boots from disk or into Open Firmware but the disk utility can't see either hard drive so I may have a bad SATA controller.

    Did you try downgrading to 3.11 to see if that helps ? Looks like other people may be having similar issues - see the later posts in this thread here .
    That was originally about a issue with suspends on 3.11 i386 only that was fixed in 3.12. But the last few posts seem to indicate a different issue that started with 3.12.

  • IPhone 5 Power button issues after recent update.

    After this most recent update, my power button is not working as it normally does.  It takes two or three attempts to turn the phone off and more than once to turn it.  Sometimes it turns on and immediately turns off.  This is happening only after this update.

    Yes 7.1.2  I had a 7.1 backup, and no issues with that... but then I did a clean DL of 7.1.2 and once again with NO apps on the iphone power button issues... as mentioned.  So it is not the apps, nor songs, nor anything else...just 7.1.2  I am now running 7.1  no issues.

  • My Time Capsule has just failed, 2 months after the end of 12m warranty. same old known power supply issue, "just unlucky" says my local Apple service center. ***?

    i bought a 2TB Time Capsule in Sep 2010. its just failed last week, less than 2 months after the expiry of the 12month warranty.
    and 3 months after the end of Apple's offer to replace all the many Time Capsules that have failed previously due to this same fault.
    nice timing guys.
    "yeah, its dead. same old known power supply issue", says my local Apple service center, "just unlucky".
    huh? "unlucky"? you sell products with known defects, and when it fails i'm "unlucky". nice.
    "OK, anyway, how much to fix it ?", i ask.
    "you can't fix them, its closed", is the reply, "you have to buy another one".
    "hmpf. OK, how do I get my backed-up data off it ?"
    "you can't. we could try break it open and recover the hard disk i guess, but no guarantees we'd get it, and you'd have to pay for us to do that, whether it works or not of course".
    "er.... is there a hidden camera in here? are we on TV? you can't be serious ? ..and this piece of garbage is what i've been using for a secure backup of my precious, irreplaceable, priceless personal data  ???"

    ceeb28744.  Welcome to the Apple Users Support Community.  Sorry to hear your TC died!  You said it was a 2TB so I would guess it be the model A1355/MB997LL/A or MC344LL/A.  Believe it or not all users of these time capsules will eventually experience this problem like you have.  There is a 99.5% (or better) chance that the only thing that is wrong with it is the internal power supply.  If you will go to this site.... https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair  and once there look over at the left side and you will find:
    Apple Time Capsule Repairers    and from that list you will be able to choose from a list of individuals that could repair your TC and have it returned to you fully operational again.  The individuals on the list are hardware technicians and they can save you a lot of money and time.

  • Network Card turned off and Power regression issues.

    Hello,
    Can any one please help me setup wifi/ethernet on my Thinkpad t420? It has Intel Wifi Link 1000 BGN. If i am not wrong it is suppose to work by default. How and what modules do i have to load to turn on my wifi card? I know how to make wpa_supplicant work.
    Their are power regression issues with linux kernel. How can i make pacman to not to upgrade to latest kernel releases?
    Thanks.
    PS:- I have done research but couldn't come find an answer. Sorry if this question has been asked many times.

    Check http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=Downloads for intel wifi drivers
    Pacman should not syncronize system wide missing packages unless specified with the -u [OPTION] on the -S [SYNC] argument, see the man pages on pacman.

  • HT1430 iPhone 4S Power Button Issue

    I have an iPhone4S that has fallen to the broken power button issue - is there a way to restart it without the power button? My phone is acting strange and I know if I restart it then it will be ok. I am already using the Accessibility feature to lock the screen, but cannot figure out how to restart it short of letting the battery run out.

    I have the same issue.... just hold down the lock screen button on your accessibility menu until it shows you the power down option.  Then plug the charger in & it will automatically turn back on.

  • QIP 7216 power on issue

    I have a QIP 7216 settop box connected to the TV via component cables (not HDMI).  Sometimes when I turn the settop on, i get audio, but the video is all black.... If i power the box off, then on again, it's fixed.  If I change channels, it's fixed.... Anyone else experience this?

    I don't have a 7216, I have a 6416 with component cables, and I've certainly seen the problem. the easiest fix is to just change the channel, and then change back to the original channel. I haven't seen the problem on 1.6.2, but I've only had it a few days, so that's hardly a valid test.
    So I doubt it is an HDMI handshake issue. I suspect it is a firmware issue on the box. I don't doubt that unplugging and waiting 60 seconds fixes it, but that's a major PIA compared to just changing the channel, and then changing back. It is strictly a power on issue, so once it is goes away, it stays away until the box is tuned off again.
    Anyway I have come to regard it is a nuisance that is low on the long list of other problems with FiOS DVR boxes.

  • No man power to issue how to map this scanario

    Dear Gurus,
    Pls any one provide a solution for this scanario,
    Oil is received (say 50000 ton) and stored at one location. There is no man power to issue it from that location.Worker comes there with pail (bucket) and collects oil and go. Over a period, the remaining oil is measured (using dip), if oil goes below the minimum level once again PO raised.How we can map this
    into SAP.Its not a pipeline material.
    Regards,
    AnandBalan

    Hi,
    Go through the following steps
    1] Assume that today 5000 L of oil is received in the tank.
    2] The person collect say 50 L from the tank. Now quantity 50 L is not known to the person who is resposible for stocks because there is no manpower available.
    3] But as you stated before, physical stocks can be take with the help of dip.
    The person will take dip and will found level 4950. So he will simply issue 50 L ( 5000-50=4950 L).
    The same will be continued evereday.
    But the problem is how to monitor the stocks and when to procure oil.
    For this reason, maintain MRP Type VB with reorder point for example say 1500 L
    Continuing the above procedure with stock will reach to the 1500 L, automatically PR will be generated.
    With this PR, Procurement cycle will be continued.
    Hope this will help you.

  • HP Pavilion G6-2148TX Power Up Issue after fan replacement

    Hi there,
    After replacing the fan, I have a power up issue with the laptop. Basically, the laptop will only power on with the power cable disconnected at the motherboard. It was by mistake that after the fan was replaced and everything was put back together, that I noticed that the battery was not charging.
    I then reopened the machine and reconnected the power cable to the motherboard and nothing - no power.
    When plugging in the power source with the battery in place, the LED adjacent to the power socket lights up WHITE then stays ORANGE and will not power up. No other lights, no fan noise, nothing.
    If I remove the battery, the LED adjacent to the power socket lights up WHITE and stays white however will not power up either. Same agin, no other LEDs, not fan noise, nothing.
    I have now opened the machine back up and disconnected the power from the motherboard. Put it all back together and the laptop powers up as normal with the battery and it works fine. (Well until the battery runs out anyway)
    I am looking for some advice on what the issue could be given my findings.
    Thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @funksoulbro ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    It is a great  place to find answers and information.
    For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
    I see that after you replaced the fan, when you tried to power on the notebook you noticed it was not charging.
    You reopened the notebook and noticed you had failed to replace the power connector on the motherboard so you reconnected it.
    Once you did that when you tried to power up the notebook the led adjacent to the power socket turns white but then goes to orange and remains.
    If you disconnect the power connection  you can boot up on battery and it works fine.
    Here are two links that I think may help.
