Cannot deactivate "Sleep and charge" option

I cannot deactivate the "Sleep and charge" option. I do not need it and it perturbs the functioning of my scanner. Apparently one should have two types of USB ports: ones with the "lightening" sign (used for the "Sleep..." options) and normal ones. I have on the left of my Satellite laptop two black ports and on the right two blue ports.
I cannot find the "lightening" sign anywhere and the Sleep ..." icon appears every time I plug in the scanner; this happens for all 4 ports. I have entered the "Sleep..." Set up menu and try to deactivate this option but it does not work. I have tried to uninstall the "Sleep..." option, but it does not appear on the list of programs one can uninstall.
One should be able to eliminate completely options that one does not need, but I cannot manage it.

Hi Dan
Sleep and charge option can be disabled in BIOS settings. Have you tried to do this already?

Windows 8.x does not shut down completely by default. (It hibernates the Windows kernel instead.) But you need it to do so in order to reach the UEFI (BIOS) on boot.
You can shut down completely by holding down the Shift key when you click Shut down.
When you Restart Windows, it shuts down completely.
This shortcut will shut down completely.
   shutdown /s /t 0
This shortcut will restart Windows.
   shutdown /r /t 0
You can access the UEFI directly from Windows this way.

A305 - Sleep and Charge problems

I have a 2 week old Toshiba A305 satellite laptop.
Ever since I bought it from bestbuy, I could not get the sleep and charge feature to work. I am trying to charge a Blackberry Pearl (cell phone) or a Sidekick LX (cell phone). I tried it when the laptop was in sleep and even when shutdown. Neither has worked.
I have already tried reading the PDF file about sleep and charge found here:
http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/productcontents/tecra/PTM91C-TG109C/HAN-GM9024708110_E.pdf
Still does not work.
I also tried changing the USB Sleep and charge mode between mode 1 and 2 and neither mode will fix it.
Can anybody help?

That may be a setting in the BIOS. Check it out.
Otherwise, upgrade the BIOS.

Toshiba USB Sleep and Charge causes s3 wake issues

Toshiba Satellite P500-ST6844
PSPGSU-0Q2012
Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64
I have posted before about an issue with my laptop not waking from sleep properly, (see here)
basically my problem is this:
I put the laptop to sleep and everything appears to go normally. but when i go to wake the system up, the Toshiba boot logo is shown, and i have lost my windows session. the system acts like it is cold booting, except for a 30 second pause following the boot logo. Just to be clear, once my windows is up and running again my session is not restored, so my system has not gone into hibernation. this issue does not affect hibernation mode. Hibernation mode works perfectly. Only taking out the battery and unplugging the machine and then pressing the power button for 30 secs. seems to alleviate the issue. but the issue always seemed to return. after much trial and error, I have narrowed down the cause of the issue. if the Toshiba USB Sleep and charge feature is used, the sleep problem is triggered, even if the sleep and charge port is not being used. This issue occurs even in a clean state (clean from a factory restore using restore media). this sleep issue has been occurring since i bought the laptop in 2010, but it has been only in the last 2-3 months that i have been able to narrow down the exact trigger for the issue.
I have updated to the latest version of the sleep and charge app for my laptop, but this does not seem to help any. the issue does not seem to be triggered by just activating or deactivating the USB sleep and charge feature in bios, but using/configuring the sleep and charge feature using the Toshiba application in windows, does.
I don't know if this is indicative of a bios, software, utility, hardware, or power supply issue. I am hoping some one here might have an answer for me, or at least point me in the right direction on where i can go from here.

this behavior even occurs in a "factory fresh state" - (restored from OS recovery media). In that state, only toshiba stuff is installed..
Sounds like you found a bug.

Why is the "Don't Sleep whilst charging" option buried under Developer options?

A very useful option to prevent the screen "Sleeping" after a set time delay when the phone is charging, is buried under Developer Option, which requires arcane knowledge to activate! Why?
How do we go about getting Sony to transfer this to the general Display options so that we don't have to go searching the Web to find out how to display it and use it?

Have you enabled developer options?

Cannot Pre order and charge to the account...ouch (bound to happen)

Will this put a hamper in peoples plans to pre order the iphone next week? Esp those paying full retail? Well not I, thats for sure.

I'm pretty sure as long as the amount is not over the amount you're allowed to bill to your account this wouldn't be a problem. Last August I purchased 2 blackberry storm 2's and billed them to my account without a problem at all. I think the total billed to my account by the time I billed the phones and accessories was around 550 or something like that. I have 5 lines on my account so I believe it's around 700 per billing cycle that I'm allowed to bill to my account. However, I had no intentions of billing the iphone to my account, but I would think it should work the same as any other phone if your account is able to be billed to I would see no reason they wouldn't let you bill the iphone to it. In fact I just ordered iphone accessories from Verizon about 15 minutes ago and did use the bill to my account option without a problem at all.

Battery and charger options

I have a mid mac book pro 2009. Tha battery has been going for a while, but that has not been bothering me because I use energy intensive prgorams (Adobe Creative Suit), and if I don't keep it plugged in it over heats. Recently the charger has not been connecting as well. I am going to probably have to get a new charger, but should I get a new battery as well? The computer has been functioning fine expect for the charger not staying in. Any suggeestions?

If your battery isn't working properly, you should replace it, too. See "Battery Replacement" > http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=Macn otebooks

Cannot change sleep and screen saver

I do not have File Vault activated.
I have tried all the usual tricks ( as well as the proper method) but once changed and closed the setting reverts to the original setting.
I have searched Google and many people are having this problem and no-one in Apple seems to care to resolve this issue.

Step one is to create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists.

Re: Mifi and Charging - does this work for charging the iPad?

I found the following post on here - but it is too old for me to reply directly to it - however, this was a very good post and it worked for me and I would really like to get in touch with mikebob to see if the same thing would work for charging the iPad - his ideas really work. And does he or anyone know how to charge the iPad from batteries?
thanks a lot

Re: MiFi and Charging

I finally managed to figure out the proper cabling to get the Verizon Mifi 2200 to charge using a generic USB charger. To recap the problem... The mifi device will only charge when using the supplied micro usb charger, or when connected to a computer USB port using the supplied micro USB cable. When connected to a computer, the device reverts to it's connected data mode, which turns off the wifi ssid broadcast and requires the Verizon access manager application to be launched. Most third party chargers will not work... including most 12V lighter to USB adapters, and most backup battery solutions.
Here is what is going on... Per the USB specification, Pins 1 and 4 are 5V power and ground respectively. Pins 2 and 3 are data+ and data-. In most chargers, pins two and three are tied via a pullup resistor to the 5V line. If you measure the voltage on 2 and 3 you will see around 3V, equivalent to a logic high state. This has something to do with allowing the device being charged to identify whether it should be in a fast or slow charging mode. More importantly, it is what the Apple iPod expects to see . So, anyone wanting to build generic USB chargers will probably implement this way in order to tap into the single largest device market around. Unfortunately, the mifi does not like the logic high on pins 2 and 3. I haven't yet sorted out why, but when it sees logic high on pins two and three, it refuses to go into charging mode.
The solution is to use a cable where pins 1 and 4 (5V and GND) are carried straight through. Pins 2 and 3 need to be disconnected from the charging source and shorted together at the Mifi end. If this was a miniUSB instead of a microUSB, it would be what is called a "charge only" cable. I have not found any vendors yet for a charge only microUSB cable so I went ahead and performed surgery on a standard microUSB cable. I took a standard USB cable, cut it and then connected it to a microUSB connector from an old Motorola bluetooth headset charger. Interestingly, the microUSB connector from the Moto charger already has pins 2 and 3 shorted together internally so all I had to do was connect 5V and ground and heat shrink tube the whole thing. With this cable I can charge the mifi from any generic USB port, including those on 12V lighter adapters, and rechargeable backup batteries. In addition, I can also connect the Mifi to my laptop to charge while continuing to access the Mifi via wifi.
Only word of caution... You really need to connect the Mifi to your computer using the standard data cable on occasion, say once per month. The reason is that it is only in this mode that you will receive notifications of S/W updates and/or the need to update your PRL. (preferred roaming list).

Satellite A200 - Can't find Sleep & Charge option in BIOS

I have been told that turning "Sleep to Charge" on in the bios of my satellite A200 will help my iPhone connect with iTunes without freezing it. I have downloaded the latest bios (2.50) and cannot find anywhere in it that will allow me to turn on "Sleep to Charge".
Can anyone help?

Hi
If you cant find this option in BIOS your notebook doesnt support this feature. With this feature you can only charge USB devices while the notebook in sleep mode. It has nothing to do with the connection while notebook is running.
So I doubt that this can solve your problem. You have to search for another solution.

Activating Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional on new computer when old computer died and cannot deactivate

My computer died with acrobat professional 8 installed. When I tried to install and activate acrobat 8 professional on my new computer, it would not activate until I deactivated the software on my old computer. My old computer is completely dead and therefore I cannot deactivate the software. Please advise me.

Customer service is terrible. They don't give us the tools to help ourselves, so we are FORCED to call their service number. Then we get transferred 3 times, then disconnected - just to have to repeat the process again. Adobe recorded phone messages advises "due to high call volume, estimated wait time is 12 minutes". An HOUR AND A HALF later while still waiting on hold, I get disconnected.
I've tried the customer portal. They CLOSED my case without resloving anything or even commenting!
Where is Adobe's accountability? They don't mind charging high prices for their products, and they certainly wouldn't accept me telling them they'll have to call my 800# and wait on hold in order to get their payment. But once we purchase their products we are a prisoner of this process. There is no web interface to deactivate products. Hard drive crashes do not permit the manual deactivation on our end.
Adobe needs to either answer their phone without disconnecting me, answer their case number number without closing it for no reason, or give us - the customer - the tools to deactivate our own products. If activation can be done over the internet upon installation - then deactivation can't be much more difficult.
I honestly can't imagine how it can be legal to sell a product then cripple an owner from using it.

My computer with a licensed copy of CS4 died. I want to install it on my new computer. I cannot deactivate CS4 on my old computer, because it no longer runs, and I no longer have it.

I want to install my licensed copy of CS4 (from the CD--Windows version) onto a new computer that I recently purchased. My OLD computer died in July. I cannot deactivate the CS4 software on that computer. It has now been gutted (because a local tech guy was trying to fix it, but he couldn't) and I no longer even have the computer. So I would like to transfer that license to my new computer.
I have been able to "install" the software from the CD, but it doesn't completely "work". It looked like everything was OK initially but it won't recognize certain keystrokes, etc. and is not functional, which I figure is the software's way of saying "too many installs on this license."
So now what do I do...is there any way I can get "permission" to install this so it will work?

I doubt the license is affecting the performance - it might be a case of the software being too old for the machine.
In any case, you can contact Adobe support thru chat and have them reset your activation count to eliminatre your doubts regarding the license.

Sorry, but if you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your phone, the only option is to restore, backing up the phone is not possible at this point, even importing the photos might not work anymore.

Waking while closed and charging... every 15 seconds? iBook Sleep Apnea?

Ok, here's a weird one...
When my iBook is closed and charging, every 15 secs or so, it tries to wake up (you hear the drive engage and the apple logo lights up) for 1/2 second and then goes to sleep... and the repeats over and over again. If it's shutdown this doesn't happen but only if it's closed and "sleeping".
And speaking of sleeping... it doesn't seem to want to sleep either... If the power cord is not plugged in and I go away, it does not go into auto-sleep and eventually the battery dies. (The screen dims but that's it.)
I've tried the PMU reset (cntrl-command-option-shift-power) but I am not sure how to tell if that worked, other than the clock being reset.
Any other ideas? It's quite odd and can't be healthy for the machine.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)
