Can't turn off Verbose Mode after running disk defrag in minimal environment using Drive Genius 3

New to posting on here. I'm using a
Mid-2009 15in MacBook Pro
2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB memory
After running Disk Defrag in a minimal environment using Drive Genius 3 my MacBook Pro only starts up in Verbose Mode.
I've done my searching on how to turn verbose mode on and off on the web and it gets me nowhere.
Using
sudo nvram –p
in terminal shows that there is no " v" after " boot-args "
Using
sudo nvram boot-args=
to turn it off hasn't done anything.

I'm having the same issue but the solution suggested by prosoft doesn't work because that file des not exist.
Prosoft was able to help me.
First, FileVault is not reccomended and they are adding a FAQ to address that. Next, they said to trash this file:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
and to restart. It seemed to have worked for me.
If anyone has any other suggestions then I would be grateful.
Many Thanks.

Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.

Thank you for all of your answer.

I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Can you Restart the machine?

How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

Hello everyone
I am selling my Portege R830-10Q so I want to restore it to factory settings (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.
I have successfully brought the laptop to factory settings by using the _TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard_ and choosing *Recovery of Factory Default Software (Recover to out-of-box state)*. However, at the end of the recovery process and after everything is re-installed I was not able to TURN OFF the laptop. I was only given the option of restarting it. After restating it, the Windows set-up process starts.
I don't want to set-up Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows set-up for the person who buys the laptop from me. How can I switch off the laptop after the system recovery without having to set up Windows?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Regards
Pedro

When recovery procedure is finished and you are asked for restart just press power button and switch it off. I think it only thing you can do.
Anyway, why not to start Windows and go through setup option. New owner can change this basic settings anyway. As username put Admin and language and keyboard can be set as default.
For instance, if you have German recovery image set everything to German. New owner can change it anyway.

Trying to run 2 external monitors, can't turn off clone mode

I have the 13" macbook pro running snow leopard, and recently bought two acer VGA monitors with a Matrox DualHead2Go. My problem: each monitor shows the same exact thing no matter what i do. I understand this is called "clone mode," and i can't seem to turn it off. I downloaded the driver for the matrox, and have tried a million different things to get clone mode to turn off. It seems like my computer only recognizes one monitor. When i try to arrange the displays under the preferences, it only shows only one external display. I have scoured the internet--no one else seems to have this exact problem. My guess is something's wrong with the dualhead2go, or maybe the one i have isn't the right one, or isn't for mac. Help please!
thanks,
hcm

If it's not too late to look at other products, you may want to check out Tritton's USB for multiple monitors. Before I switched from a PC, I had used Matrox Dual Head2Go with hit and miss luck. I then switched over to Tritton's product - it was a lot cheaper and worked better for me. When I switched to my MacBook Pro, I was able to continue to use the Tritton USB. I am currently running two monitors (VGA), plus my MacBook montor, for a total of three monitors. For my two VGA monitors, I am using a DVI to VGA plug, and the Tritton USB. It's been working great for me, and no problems with using extended desktop (as opposed to clone).
Good luck, and let me know if you have any folow-up questions.

Network Save Issue--Can't turn off Protected Mode

So my original problem is one that's been asked here a few times before: when I try to save a document in Acrobat, it makes me save a new version with a different name (so that I have to go back and delete the old version). If I try to just hit "Save," I get the error message: "This document cannot be saved. The file may be read-only, or another user may have it open." I am on a local area network with just one other computer (so I know the document isn't really open), running Windows 7 with Acrobat X. I should also mention that I've checked numerous files and none are read-only.
When this question is asked, it often gets the answer to turn off Adobe's Protected Mode by going to Edit-->Preferences-->General and unchecking Enable Protected Mode at Start-up.
Fair enough.
The problem is, I don't have that check box in my General Preferences menu. It's especially puzzling since I've seen these instructions given to other users with Acrobat X, who have said it worked. Am I missing something? Is there some other option I can chack or uncheck that is equivalent to this? Thanks for your help.

At times there also seem to be some issues with saving to a network link. When this happens, try saving locally and see if that does the job. Try working on the document locally and see if the issue goes away. If so, then you are dealing with a more complex issue involving networks. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution in that case, but it might be helpful to know if that is the issue.

Can't turn off apple tv after 5.3 update

yeppers can't turn it off after the update and playing around with HBO GO. pressed the play button for many seconds, signed on to HBO GO and logged off. nada. I turned off wifi and everything is still working as if I had wifi on. I close iTunes and the only thing different is home sharing is off but I can listen to my songs using the music icon just can't see "my" movies. open itunes and all is there as if I had wifi on. yes, wifi is not turned on. any ideas or should I have read something about 5.3 that I didn't see.

**** never knew it just went to sleep, always thought it went off, geeze just found this out, lol. I updated from 5.0.1 or something like that to 5.3 so I guess lots has changed. I used to have to turn on wifi from the menu bar for anything to show up(other than the icons) and press the play button for a few seconds and it went to sleep(what I thought was off). now, it's always on, I can see the music, the movies(except the ones in my library). when I open itunes, I can see my movies in the library, all without turning on wifi in the menu bar. could this be because the wifi is always on and the update enables me to not have to turn wifi on in the menu bar, like I had to before? or is this a non issue because that's the way it works now? whew.
thanks all

Firefox turns off fullscreen mode after switching to another programme or desktop.

When i alt-tab or just switch to another programme or desktop from firefox in full screen, the full screen mode is turned off.

I also ran across another work around today:
It looks like there was an about:config entry that was created, but is no longer in the current build. It may be possible to create a new entry and add it back:

Please be warned that this will change the default of your installation, but I do not know how this will affect other functionalities of the browser.

Can't turn off my Toshiba notebook running Vista

Everytime I try to turn off the computer it keeps on re-initiating.
I've checked energy options and changed the configuration of the ON/OFF button but it still doesnt work.
Any idea?

hi,
no I didn't noticed it in the first 2 weeks, then all off a sudden i wanted to shut down and it happened. No updates are downloading or installing (checked it several times). But i did some research on this thing and there is known that antivirus programs like norton can cause this kind of trouble. something about firewall i think. but you shouldn't always uninstall ur AV to shut down ur computer normally, that's just crazy. The worst thing i find is that microsoft doesn't want to answer ur e-mails unless u pay them 70 ?.... I'll try some further searching, and just pull out the cable every time :)
Thanks for the respons!
grtz

Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
Thanks in advance.

WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
They are not connected.
Mute and rotation lock are independent. However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.
I wrote:
You can change the behavior in Settings->General->Use side switch for
Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

Can't turn off Apple TV after update

Updated my 2nd gen Apple TV this morning to iOS 5.1. Now I cannot put the ATV to sleep by pressing the middle button anymore. Anyone know how to put it to sleep, besides going through the setting menu?

After upgrading to itunes 11 my apple tv2 no longer appears in itunes. Airplay?! So those of us with wired networks are now S.O.L.? This makes no sense. I remember after upgrading to OS 10.8. that my 2 year old intel i5 imac can't use aiplay to stream movies to the apple tv. Fine. So, now Apple have applied the same built in obselecence approach to itunes audio, requiring those of us with 2 year old equipment to go out and by new stuff just to play music on another set of speakers? How does that strike you for environmentally friendly? 2 years. Sorry for the rant . If anyone knows of a workaround I'd love to hear about it. Maybe if I turn everything on and off enough times it will work...

Can't turn off offline mode

Hello i got this problem with my nokia 5230.I insert my main sim card and it doesn't show no zone it's in offline mode.And i can't change another mode it just shows no sim card inserted....
I put another sim card in it works just fine and asks to run or not to run offlien mode at start.
So do you have any suggestion on my problem?That number is really important for me

If you have a locked phone, and the sim isn't from your airtime provider it won't work, you should be able to get your number ported to the sim that works, or if it is from your current airtime provider, ask for a replacement !
Good Luck
