Automatic shutdown after 1 minute

My macbook displays the turn on/off window(restart, sleep, cancel, shut down) after 1 minute and that only happens if I havn't typed anything or touched the touchpad. If I don't click the cancel button or move the pointer around the computer shuts down after the turn on/off window have been displayed for 5 s. By doing this the "clock" restarts and I got another minute of the same procedure. I've reset the PRAM and the PMU and it didn't help. Any suggestions??

I have the same problem. Also, when I close the display, instead of sleep, computer shuts down. I hope somebody can help us. Computer works great other than that. Larry

    Try System Preferences > Energy Saver.
    If 'System Preferences' is not in your Dock you should find it in /Applications.

  • Windows 8 automatically locks after 1 minute of inactivity

    I read on here that the solution to this issue is to reset the security options under User Accounts.  I don't seem to have that capability.  Is there another fix for this?  Or a way I can add that option under User Accounts?  I set a
    bunch of other settings to a high number and that seemed to fix the issue for a day.  Then today the issue came back in full effect even though none of my settings had changed.  This is extremely frustrating.  Thanks for any help you can provide.
    UPDATE: I just wanted to post that after I did the Windows 8.1 Update, this issue went away finally.  Thank god.

    Thank you for the quick reply but as I stated in my original post, I don't have a reset security options under my user accounts.  And I haven't found anything that explains why some people have this option and others don't. 
    Your second solution also doesn't work.  There currently isn't a password required for wake up already.  The problem is the lock itself.  I have programs that are running in the background that get put to sleep every time the computer locks.
    Thanks for trying.  Any other suggestions?

  • Problems with random shutdown after replacing a swollen battery

    Hello all,
    Perhaps one of you can help with this issue.
    I'm using a Macbook Pro 17" mid-2007 model. A few months ago, the power disconnected from the machine when the battery had already run down and the machine did a hard shutdown. When I booted it back up there were serious problems with the display. Eventually it stopped working altogether. I took it for service and it was determined to by the NVIDIA graphics processor problem, so Apple replaced my motherboard.
    When I got the machine back from servicing, there was a rattle in the right fan that gradually got worse. After a while the touchpad button stopped depressing in the center. I also experienced several random shutdowns while operating on battery power. I learned about the swelling battery issue with macbooks and ordered a replacement. By the time the replacement battery arrived my original battery was quite swollen. I'm concerned that the swelling battery may have warped the case a bit, leading to the fan noise.
    I have now replaced the battery, but I'm still experiencing random shutdowns after 20+ minutes of use on battery power. I have done the RSS tests that were recommended in other forums and there doesn't seem to be any random shutdown problems when I'm plugged in -- only under battery power. My understanding is that a swelling battery can sometimes cause the battery to disengage from the electrical contacts on the MB, causing a sudden shutdown. I'm wondering why the problem is persisting now with a new battery? After one random shutdown, I tried to power up again using the battery, while pushing the battery into place at various angles, but I couldn't find any angle that would give power to the machine. The fan noise is also still present.
    Can anyone offer an explanation or advise on any methods to overcome these random shutdowns? I have checked the console and the machine isn't registering any error when it shuts down, although when it restarts it says "DirectoryService[35] Improper shutdown detected"

    Yep, it is video (or: or audio for video) so unless you're sure you need it (because you work or will work with the DVC Pro HD video/audio codec), you can remove the plug from its' folder and put it in your documents folder (don't trash it, I have no idea if it is necessary for non-DVC Pro HD users to have it installed too).
    The WWW is littered with posts from people encountering bugs and crashreports with DVCPROHDAudio.plugin as the main suspect. Most of those posts seem to be from video people rather than audio folks.
    http://www.google.nl/search?q=DVCPROHDAudio.plugin&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=or g.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
    But, if you get crashes and you see this one mentioned in the report, disable it, restart, and see if the problem's gone.

  • After a minute of inactivity shut down menu appears?  And will shut down if not cancelled.

    My macbook will ask to shutdown after a minute of inactivity - including if I'm watching a video.  If I don't cancel it will proceed with shutdown.  I have adjusted the screensaver setttings and that is not the issue.  I have done all the software updates.
    Any help is appreciated!  Thanks!

    Check System Preferences > Security > General; there is an option to log out after a period of inactivity.

  • My iPod(4g) is slow and when i open a app, after few minutes it automatically closes and also takes about 4 minutes to enter settings app.

    My iPod(4g) is slow and when i open a app, after few minutes it automatically closes

    Sounds like a software issue. Back-up the iPod to a computer and then restore the software via iTunes and set it up as a new device. If it is working fine then restore your backup to the device. If it is still playing up before you put your information back on then it is most likely a faulty device, and would need a service.

  • Automatic log-out after 20 minutes working in a layout

    Hello
    We have an automatic log-out of the layout after 20 minutes of work. The time out is set up at 58 minutes. Does anyone know of a paramater in a 3.0B that would trigger this log-out ? Something separate from the main time-out ?
    Regards
    Fabrice

    It is not different from main time-out as per my understanding.
    As step 1, pls check your patch level to SEM. The current patch level is 12.
    Step 2: The time-out/idle time parameters are set by the Basis consultant. Please explain to your Basis person and he/she will help you out.
    Step 3: Have you checked that whether you are locked? whether your transactions take longer or longest time to excute? or hangs over? Then it may be a software bug. Please take-up with SAP OSS support.
    PS: Please award suitable points if the answers provide direction and clue.

  • Leopard install disc ejects automatically after a minute or so

    Whenever i put in my leopard install disk, it simply makes some noises then ejects itself automatically after a minute or so.
    I have an iMac which is about 2 years old and am currently running tiger 10.4.11
    Really stuck on ideas on what to do
    Even tried the whole turn it on its side trick which didnt work
    Any help would be great, Cheers

    I also checked if i had a dual layer dvd drive, which i do so really dont see why it wont work
    The suggestion to copy the disk requires a drive that can write (burn) dual layer DVD's. Essentially all DVD drives (including all used by Apple) can read dual layer DVD's.
    I got it off the internet so im not to sure if i can get a refund
    What do you mean by "off the internet"? Is this a retail, Apple-branded Leopard DVD or something else? All the retail disks are black, with a large "X" that almost goes from edge to edge of the disk. Other Apple-branded Leopard disks are gray & only work with certain Macs. They are bundled with the Mac they are meant for & their labeling indicates they are not to be sold separately.
    If you have been sold a gray disk, this is almost certainly your problem.

  • Windows 8.1 automatically logs me out after one minute

    I downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 Pro a few days ago from TechNet. I'm logged in only with my Microsoft account (not a Domain account).
    For some reason, it logs me out automatically after one minute and takes me back to the login screen where I have to click and enter my password in. I checked all of the Power settings and the Screen Saver is off.
    Also, I've wanted to disable the login screen entirely since I live alone.  I've seen many articles about being able to disable it by unchecking the box in the netplwiz app, but the option doesn't even exist.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    May be you can try to boot into safe mode for test, or create a new account.
    In addition, netplwiz is a command to open Manage User Accounts. I doubt whether you had use it correctly.
    Press WIN+R, then type netplwiz , press
    Enter.

    I booted into Safe Mode (after figuring out the new method) and it logged me out after one minute.  I logged back in, created a new user, rebooted in normal mode, logged in as new user, was logged out after one minute.  Double-checked Advanced
    Power settings again -- nothing indicating this should be happening.
