Can i turn my notebook on without pressing the power button?

I have several MacBooks (no! not MacBook Pros) and I wish to build a stamnd for them on my desk so that they all stack up, and can be controlled though a KVM.
I have all the hardware and infrastructure designed, but I can't seem to find any way of turning them on except by opening the cover, and pressing the power button.
I can't really imagine Apple designing the perfect tool with this sort of problem?

Restore the device.
If the problem continues, restore as new.

Aside from Wake on LAN, how can I turn on my S10 without pressing the Power Button?

Hi,
FIrst of all I have not tried Wake on LAN on this S10 of mine, yet. I don't even know if it will work or not.
Anyway, this is my main concern. I'm planning to mount my S10 on the back of my monitor, I'll be putting a wire mesh kinda box that will hold it. I will then hook the VGA monitor/audio cables to my S10. I'll also be hooking my wireless Keyboard so it will look clean as possible. With this setup, of course, the LCD lid will be closed and I'm thinking of ways on how to turn it on with the Lid closed. I'm currently finding ways on how to do this? I was hoping NOT to go to the rear of my monitor >> lift the S10 from the mesh box >> press the power button >> close the lid >> place it back to the mesh box mount.
The wireless keyboard has a power on option (I have Logitech MK300) but does NOT work. Would a Wired USB keyboard work?
Fortunately, I have a deskop computer (which has its own monitor) that will sit beside my S10/Monitor. The two computers (Desktop and S10) will run independently.
What do you think guys? What options can I go with? Is my only hope Wake On LAN? Oh yeah, it is even possible with the S10?
Maybe there is a USB device or a hack that can be done (not voiding the warranty)?
Thanks!

Yeah, I just noticed it So does this mean I can't wake my S10 thru LAN right? Anyway, do you have any suggestions? I'm looking for a Docking Station, but I can't find any. Can a USB replicator turn this on? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
Thanks!

Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

After install Mavericks I can't turn off my MacBook Pro from the power button.

Dear all, prior to install Mavericks in my MacBook Pro, when I pushed the power button it appeared a dialog box which gave me the option to turn off the copmuter choosing the right option.
After the installation of Mavericks,and obviuosly having the system running, when I push the power button it does just nothing.
Does anyone have the same issue? Have someone solved it?
Thank you very much in advance for your answers, for your attention and for your help.
Kind regards.

You can turn off this new sleep feature and restore the shutdown/sleep dialog box to pop up when you press the power button.
In Terminal copy & paste in the following command and then press enter:
defaults write com.apple.loginwindow PowerButtonSleepsSystem -bool no

Is there any way to turn an iPhone off without pushing the power button (it's broken)?

Power button on my 4s is broken. Is there any way to power the phone off besides the power button / slider shut down combination?

Assistive Touch, tap Settings App > General > Accessibiltiy > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. If you touch and hold Lock Screen you will get the "slide to power off". This will turn OFF iphone. To turn iPhone ON, connect with USB cable to power, charger or USB of computer.

How can I start up my macbook without using the power button ?

Hi guys,
I think my macbook's keyboard/trackpad/power have died. I was wondering if there's anyway to start up my macbook without the power button, I was thinking about an external keyboard that would hae a power button on it, I don't know ...
I have not used my Macbook for the past 4 days and i think it's making me sick ...
Thanks !

hey,
So i bought a G3 keyboard with the power button and i just received it but my macbook still doesn't want to start up.
It's pretty strange because my macbook was still running when the top case died and I had to unplug it cause i couldn't shut it down so I was sure that buying this keyboard would make it work but it doesn't. I am wondering if it could be from the power button that would be died cause when i push it, it doesn't feel like the one on my macbook . It's pretty hard to explain but could someone tell my how it supposed to be when i push the power button . On my keyboard it just goes down and goes up without doing anything...
I'm pretty sad cause I haven't used my macbook for weeks and i'm started thinking it will never start up again ...
Thanks

How can I turn off my iphone without using the power off button

I dropped my Iphone 5s in water and now the screen won't allow me to slide it over to power off. There's some water in the screen and it's not working correctly.

Press and hold the "Sleep/Wake" button located on the top of the iPhone.
Hold the "Home" button on the front of the iPhone while continuing to hold the Sleep/Wake button.
Release the buttons as soon as the iPhone's screen turns black to turn it off. Do not continue to hold the buttons or the device will reset.
Hope it can help you.
Merry Christmas!

HT1212 Is there any way to unlock a disabled ipod without pressing the power button?

My ipod has been stolen at my high school for over six months. Long story short, i retrieved it and it turns out that my ipod is being disabled for 22,135,578 more minutes. I checked the apple forums and i saw how you could reactivate you passcode but unfortunately my ipod power button is broken. also im not even sure what ios is running on and well imma get my screen fixed because its cracked

at home, i dont remember the ios, but im certain its ios 5.0.1, im using my mac computer
also the file for Recboot v1.3 say that it has been removed and the Recbook v2.2 the webpage isnt found, i think Recbook only works on ios 4 devices only.

Is there any add on which i can reload all tabs from offline mode to online immediately without press the resend button in each tab?

is it illegal to record a conversation without the other caller knowing?
That depends on where you are... In the state of New Jersey, where I live, I believe that it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party to that conversation knows that it is being recorded, and there is no legal duty to inform the other party that the conversation is being recorded.
This means that I could legally record all conversations I have with other people within the state of NJ, and likewise anybody whom I call or who calls me can record out conversations. However, it would be illegal for a third party to record out conversation without our knowledge and consent.
Now the situation becomes more complex if I call somebody, or somebody calls me, across state lines... I've not made a study of the laws in every state, but I would not be surprised if there are states where both parties must give consent for the conversation to be recorded. This is probably the reason for the announcement "your call may be monitored and recorded for quality purposes" at the beginning of every call to customer support...
Wikipedia has a useful introductory article, and a quick Google search turns up much more information.

Three beeps at startup almost always indicate bad RAM. You probably need to get your RAM replaced. Bring it in to Apple for a definitive diagnosis if you are unable to run the Apple HardwareTest
