Dark Screen During Shut Down

After installing Maverick on my 11" macbook air I notiice when I go to shut down my mac... I used to hit the power button to shut down
now the screen goes black..can't use that option...whats up with that?

I think now Maverick assigned the power button to Sleep mode...
I want the older option to select Shutdown, Sleep or Restart when I press the power button. Any way to re-assign it?

White Screen During Shut Down

Hi all,
When I try to shut down my system I am presented with a white screen and have to push the power button on my iMac to turn it off. This has only started happening recently as far as I recall.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
Currently running OS 10.8.2.
Thanks,
Bryan

I have had the same problem, and connected it to a problem with Western Digital HD software. I use an external WD HD for time machine purposes.
I then uninstalled all the HD software, and it now seems everything works fine. You may try this. Ref this article:

Screen unpredictably shutting down during phone calls.

Anyone understand the logic behind when the screen shuts off during a phone call.
I'm using the keypad a fair bit and sometimes the screen will shut down during a call, hiding the keypad. I can shake it and it will come on again but then sometimes it goes away.
Sometimes it just stays up the entire call.
Sometimes it shuts off during the call.
If it shuts off during a call I can shake it to get the screen to come on.
Sometimes it just stays up for the rest of the call.
Sometimes its shuts off again.
If it shutss off during a call I can shake it to get the screen to come on.
Repeat...
Quite frustrating. How do I get it to stay up?
Can I?

My iPhone does the same thing. When I make or receive a call the screen seems to do the opposite of what it should do. When I put the phone to my ear the screen activates, when I pull it away the screen locks. This causes me to press the touch screen when talking on the phone, buttons like mute and keypad.. highly frustrating. Also when I try to hang up, the screen locks preventing me to end the call.. have left numerous unintented voicemails due to this.
I have tried adjusting the auto-lock setting but this does not help and is up-to-date. Any ideas?

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down.

My ipad showed a blue screen and shut down. I cannot restart it. A soft restart did not work. I tried connecting to iTunes on the PC but it did not detect the device

Did you try resetting the iPad?
Reset 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- let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't do anything, try this for the issue with iTunes not seeing the iPad.

If that doesn't help, restore your iPad using iTunes or iCloud > iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Shut off screen without shutting down accelerometer in Touch

Due to Apple firmware limitations in the 2G iPod Touch, it is not possible to shut down the Touch screen and keep the accelerometer running, so running the Sleep Cycle application on the iPod Touch causes the screen to stay on all night and become very warm
Apple please please could you change the Touch firmware to support shutting off the screen without shutting down the accelerometer so that Sleep Cycle can be run on the Touch like it now runs on the 3G and 3GS iPhone.
This would open this excellent little application to the whole Touch market segment, making the developers very happy and allowing me to get up in the morning.

Database doesn't shutdown during shutting down the server

Dear Friends ,
I have to use the following dcript to use Auto startup and shutdown my Oracle Database in RHEL 4 .
step 1:
#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
# Set ORACLE_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME
# from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut;
# Set ORACLE_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORACLE_HOME.
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut
su - $ORACLE_OWNER -c "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
esac
step 2:
cat /etc/inittab
*:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:N
orcl:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y
step 3:
Keep "dbora" in following path :
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
And also ,
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
chkconfig --level 345 dbora on
Now ,The script works fine and ORacle Database and Listener service starts automatically during startup the server .But during shutdown the server, I cannot understand or can't recognize that the Oracle Database & listener service are shutdown auto . I think it does not work properly..... So i need to know that Oracle Database & listener service are stop automatically during shutting down the server . Using the above scripts , How can I do it ? Is there any wrong then plz advice me .......Thx ...

step 3:
Keep "dbora" in following path :
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/dbora
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora
And also ,
chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
chkconfig --level 345 dbora on
Check following links are there
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora

My screen just shut down and it wont turn on

My screen just shut down & wont turn back on What can i do?

What happens if you try a hard reset? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You may need to attempt this more than once.
Otherwise, connect it to an external power source and leave it to charge for a little while and then try a reset again if necessary.

You should be able to turn off your MBP by pressing the power button down continously for about 5-10 sec. When you reboot it you are going to want to enter into a terminal screen. Hopefully the following YouTube video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKOX72xNmbo

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a

Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black but I can see the arrow (pointer). And only after few seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down.

Dear all, Since a week ago I observe that when I press the button for my macbook air to start a nap, first the screen turns to black (although I can see it is stil on) and I can see the arrow (pointer). Only after 15 seconds the arrow and the screen really shut down. It did not occur before, as a matter of fact it was instantaneous. What could be the problem?

Note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece. Then, press the button to put the MBA to sleep. Wait until the cursor disappears and for all indications that the Mac appears to be asleep.
Then, wake the Mac the way you normally wake it.
Then, find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's sleep problem. To do that type the words sleep cause in the Filter field at the upper left of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you woke the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to putting it to sleep.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words "previous sleep cause". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before putting the Mac to sleep. This will result in a selection of perhaps 50 to 100 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the fifteen second delay.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.
