Cinema 23" Power button preference settings and Windows XP
Here is an obscure one.
I have a Mac Pro with 10.5.6 and a Bootcamp WinXP partition.
In System / Display / Preferences ~ options, I have the "Display Power Button Behavior" set to "Does Nothing".
When I boot into Windows XP, and then back to Mac OS, the "Display Power Button Behavior" is now set to "Turns the Display on and off"
I figure that there is equivalent behavior setting for the display in Windows XP that is resetting this, but have been unable to find it.
Anyone got any thoughts on how to keep the behavior of the power button as "Does Nothing" even after being in Windows?
I downloaded the most current version of WinACD, and it sort of works but does not solve the problem.
It appears that the most recent version of WinACD does not yet have the newer Apple monitors in its list of supported ones. So the control panel will say "No monitor present".
Here is a link to another discussion on this issue:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8967945�
So until WinACD is updated, this is a close but no cigar solution. It should work, if it was just updated to include the newer ACD monitors.

I just installed OS X Yosemite on my MacBook. I now cannot get the computer to start up. If I hold down the power button to try and power it back up, it will not start. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Download and install the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Combo Update.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X

I need an application that will turn off my iPhone on the home screen just by a one click since my power button has sank and is no longer working--anyone have ideas?? I don't like having to use assistive touch and hit three buttons to lock my screen
No such app exisits or can exist. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone. Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it, within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?
That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility. -
I tried following the directions that I received about restoring my iPod touch. But there is one flaw. My power button is stuck and I am unable to turn it off. How can I go about either getting it fixed or restoring my iPod?
Easy, first make sure that the itunes on your computer is up to date. Next connect the ipod to your computer. If you have itunes 11.0 or above, wait until the device appears in the upper right hand side of the screen, or you can press ctrl-s, and the side menu will appear, and you can see more clearly the ipod appearing under the device category. Next simply click on the ipod and on the summary screen, you should see restore. Press restore, and you will see a dialog box asking to back-up & restore, restore only, or cancel. If you have information to save, press back-up & restore, if you want to wipe the device clean and start over, press restore. Once it's all done, you should be good.
If your ipod is less than a year old and not a refurbished device, contact Apple at 800-676-2775 for assistance on repair and replace. If you are near an Apple Store, go to http://www.apple.com/retail/ and find your local Apple Store and set-up a genius appointment and go in and have your device repaired or replaced.If your ipod is a refurbished device, it has to be 90 days old or less to be repaired or replaced for free.I hope this helps. -
I have just required a second hand mac and when I try to download a song or import a cd to iTunes an error notice says that I am not priveledged to make changes? The preference settings and apple I'd seem to be ok. How do I fix this?
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

Pavilion 25xi has power button lock out and keeps turning itself off
My Pavilion 25xi has the message "power button lock out" and we have tried holding it for 10 seconds (hard with a swipe button). We have also disconnected the power for 30 sec and then reconnected. All these to no avail. It also id prone to turning itself off and when the screen is reset, there are no icons and none of the programs on the task bar are able to be opened. This means turning the who;le computer on and off, thus losing any work on the computer that was in process. Help!
Hello @BillHendo,
I understand that you are getting a 'Power Button Lock-out' error when you push the power button on your HP Pavilion 25xi monitor.I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Hold the power button down for 30 seconds
Step 2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 3. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 4. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 5. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 6. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 7. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

MacBookPro 15.4 keep freezing up with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart
MacBookPro15.4 less than a year old keep freezing/locking with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart THEN repeat successive times after restarting it?
If you're able to boot, 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.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. -
my iPad 2 started to backup iCloud and its now locked up. How do i unlock it, the button for settings and close are not working. What can I do?
Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

MAJOR DEFICIENCY = WASTED MONEY:
