Any fix for a macbook not sleeping/shutting down?

I have an early 2009 macbook running OSX 10.8. If I close the lid or manually select sleep/shutdown it works fine, BUT whenever I plug in my iphone to sync or charge, the macbook does not respond to a sleep/shutdown command (whether manual or by closing the lid). I cannot be the only person this is happening to.
Is there a fix for this?

Any fix for TM buttons not displaying glitch?

I see others are having problems with the Time Machine buttons not displaying properly. But I didn't see any fix yet. On my MacBook, the problem only occurs with an external display.
Hope this gets fixed soon.

It looks that you have made changes to the appearance of button that cause items and text to be larger.
In your case this doesn't seem to work properly with the consequence that the middle part of the button gets distorted.
I'm curious if this artifact would move to the other (Cancel) button or disappear if you would use the Tab key or cursor key to set focus to the Cancel button or if it is a problem with the label text that isn't default (OK or similar).

G5 will not sleep (shuts down instead) !?

Appreciate any help here guys. Twin 2.5 G5 has started shutting itself down as opposed to sleeping. This occurs if I select sleep from the menu or the energy saver reaches the time set for it to sleep.
When this happens there are 4 to 5 clicks from the tower (same as the normal single click at power down) and then it shuts down.
Log states: Jul 2 15:20:04 localhost kernel[0]: ApplePMU::PMU forced shutdown, cause = -122
Appreciate any help....
Thanks
Power Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
There is some recent discussion of -122 here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=984175&start=0&tstart=0
It seems that in this case the predictions of doom were somewhat pessimistic. Apparently.
If you have any questions please post again. Good Luck.

Any fixes for system pref not responding after a few seconds in 10.7.4?

I'm openning System Preferences both from the dock and by clicking the black apple, it opens and stops responding after about 5 second and the beach ball of death appears. Tried restarting the unit, safe boot, verify and repair disk and permissions. Always the same issue. HELP!

Running out of "moving parts"...
Two (last?) things to try.
1. Instead of launching system preferences through the menu launch it explicitly by double clicking the app in /Applications.
2. Temporarily rename ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost. For example, stick a 'x' on the end of it ("ByHostx"). I don't want you to delete ByHost. Only temporarily rename it. This is the last possible directly-related system preference data that could have a problem.
If it still hangs after this I am not exactly sure what to pursue next. It can't be a login item or launch agent since these are suppressed when booting in safe mode. You deleted the system preference cache and plist. ByHost is the only thing explicitly related in you home directory.
One other thing would be to open Console for all messages and see if anything gets displayed when launching system preferences.

Since the new IOS7 the ipad has become so slow as to not really be usable. It has turned the IPAd into a kindle as all I can do is read a book its so SLOOW. Any fixes for this

These last upgrades have really made this Ipad an I Brick. Any fixes for this slow devce that frezzes half the time and sometimes takes seconds to recognize my typing.

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings

My iPOD classic (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what happens when the headphones come out. Any fix for this?

My iPOD class (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what
happens when the headphones come out. Is there any fix for this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shuffle but just repeat the 1st song played. Any fix for that? Thanks. HMK

When I press any of my music lists to "Shuffle" it will not shufle but keeps repeating the same song first played. Any fix for this? Thanks, HMK

When you get to "Now Playing", tap once on the artwork in order to see the timeline of the playing song. Look on the left side, the repeat one button is probably active.
Tapping once this icon bring the repeat option, tapping again will bring the repeat one option. There you can also tap the shuffle button on the right.

bug fix for watson 2887837 Not getting duplicate session detected error when same flex client id is used from two different HTTP sessions in CRX.
get the sessions id before we invalidate the duplicate session.
Checkintests pass
Modified Paths:
    blazeds/trunk/modules/core/src/flex/messaging/endpoints/BaseHTTPEndpoint.java

For our profect I think this issue was caused as follows:
Believing that remoting was full asynchronous we fired a 2 or 3 remote calls to the server at the same time ( within the same function ) - usually when the users goes to a new section of the app.
This seemed to trigger the duplicate http session error since according to http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/2011/05/duplication-session-error.html two remote calls arriving before a session is created will cause 2 sessions to be created.
Our current solution ( too early to say it works ) is to daisy chain the multiple calls together .
Also there seemed to be an issue where mobile apps that never quit ( thanks Apple! ) caused the error when activated after a few hours.
I guess the session expires on the server and the error above occurs on activation.
So the mobile apps now ping the server with a remote call when activated after sleeping for more than one hour.
All duplicate http errors are silently caught and reported.
Fingers crossed we won't get any more!

Any fix for the "remembering passwords" problem with MAIL?

I've been following the other threads on this topic. I am a new Mac user (all of 5 days) with 10.5.2 preinstalled on a macbook pro, so this is not a migration problem. Applecare has been unable to resolve the issue. My setup is a Verizon FIOS POP account. I've tried all the repairing, creating keychain suggestions. My incoming and outgoing accounts function properly, then they mysteriously forget the login credentials. Is there any fix for this, this seems absurd coming from a PC background? Thanks.

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar "behave"?

MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.1) calendar continues to "connect to server" and will not allow shut down or restart. Force quit worked. How can I make this calendar usable? The problem began after I updated to Maverick.

babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?

After upgrade to Mavericks I have to shutdown using the power button. Any fix for this?

I have a mid 2011 iMac, just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. It will no longer shut down using the menu. I have to push and hold the power button. This sometimes results in a very loud "snap" from my machine. Tried reinstalling but still does the same. Any fix for this? If not, how do I redownload Mountain Lion?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Macbook slow and shuts down when battery indicator is not empty

Hi everyone,
I have a 17'' macbook pro bought mid June 2007.
Three weeks ago I noticed that my macbook pro would shut down at 20% battery (if I was not plugged) and would not start back until I plugged it in. I figured it was a battery problem. However, my macbook started getting really slow with the little 'volleyball' icon appearing more and more often without having to use lots of different of programs in parallel.
Also last week I realized that now my macbook pro shuts down automatically at 67% battery! I checked the little button behind the battery and when this happens it shows to me 3 out 5 light indicator. So I'm guessing that the battery is not dead and yet my computer shuts down.
I resetted my SMC (I think that's what it's called) and repaired my disk... I have not reformatted it though.
Can someone help me out? Is the fact that my mac is slow related to its shutting down prematurely?
For info: my battery is 2y old and has 360 cycles.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
Cheers
aqualover

Good on resetting SMC.
You should properly calibrate your battery:

If that doesn't fix the problem, contact AppleCare about a replacement. Battery warranties were extended to 2 years and maybe you still have a warranty:

Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.
