HELP!! MBP wont stay off!

Hi,
My MBP for some reason wont stay off. I shut down, close the lid, go to work and when I come home its asleep! Open the lid and its as if I had just turned it on. I have no idea whats causing this but I do realize it only happens when I leave the power adapter plugged in. If I unplug the adapter in the morning, then plug it in when I get home, it boots up immediately, without me touching the power button. I am sure its not scheduled to come on at anytime. I tried setting the schedule for a weekend and on a week day it came on. Does anyone have any idea why this happens?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks - Sara.

When you go into the system preferences menu under energy saver, just make sure that when the power adapter is plugged in that you make sure that the check box that says, "put hard disk to sleep when possible," which in fact will put you MBP to sleep instead of shutting it off. Also, make sure that when you hit "shutdown," that you wait until the screen goes black before you close the lid because it will sometimes cause it to stay asleep.

Itunes purchase wont stay off my phone

I'm running iOS 7 on an iPhone 5s. Old song purchases wont stay off of my phone. I've unselected 'show all songs', 'automatic download', etc... I've logged off from iTunes app, and re-logged on. This technique has made the songs "go away", but once I shuffle songs or connect to bluetooth, these songs reappear. I cannot figure this out. Any hints?

Hello simplyamazingyu,

Restoring your iOS device
Connect your device to your computer.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. Select the Summary tab, and click the Restore button.
Click Restore.
iTunes may prompt you with a software license agreement. If you click Agree, iTunes will download the iOS software file (.ipsw file) before restoring.
After a restore, the iOS device restarts. You should then see "Slide to set up". Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant.
If needed, restore your device from a previous backup.
Best of luck,

MBP Display stays off during power up

So every time I power my MBP up, the screen stays off, and I have to manually adjust the brightness to turn it on and up. I'm guessing it's just a setting I need to change, but I haven't been able to find it. Any Help? Thanks

Managed to get it going agin by doing a restore from my backup. Had to do the <Command, R> during power on, and do it from there. Hopefully it will be ok now.

HT201263 i tried the "unable to update and restore" for my ipod but it wont stay off when i try to turn it off with the sleep/ home button. what else can i do?

my ipod touch 4th gen wont turn off and just keeps showing the apple logo. i tried to do the recovery mode stuff on it but it dosent shut off it just keeps restarting. i dont know what else to do. help?

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the recovery and DFU mode again.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Screen wont stay off when turned off via ctrl - shift - eject, turns back on within 5-10 seconds - 10.7.2

I usually have my MBP next to me and when I'm not using it I either use the hot-corner to turn the screen off or the ctrl - shift - eject keys.
But when the screen is off it wakes up within 5-10 seconds every time, nothing I can see has changed since this didn't used to be an issue.
It's always stayed off but recently it hasn't been.
I'm on 10.7.2, I even shut down every app and just had it running stock OSX and it still does it.
I have no peripherals connected to it, bluetooth is also off.
Does anyone know of a fix or is this just happening to me?
Many thanks in advances.

i would take back to store and exchange.
if this is new behaviour then make sure you running the latest update.
if that doesn't fix it...hold off a few months and upgrade to torch 2 but if you still within exchange time from when you got it...exchange...within warranty time? rma it.

Thank you sir for your reply, but the problem existed before the rooting.
amralomari,
I advise sending the phone to a Nokia Care Centre or to the retailer where you have acquired the phone for further device evaluation. Since you have mentioned that you have rooted the device, the warranty may get marked invalid by the Care Point.

Sounds like a hardware failure.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

My computer wont let me download MP3 rocket because it says its in DOS mode. Im 14 so if someone could help me turn it off step by step thank you.

From what I know, MP3 Rocket is a program that will only work on a Windows computer. They don't make a version that will work on a Mac.
If you need to convert Youtube files to MP3, then you may want to try Smart Converter. It is available in the App Store for free. Just launch App Store, then look in the Top Charts section, under FREE, select "see all", and look for the the download shown below.

MBP display won't stay off, wakes from sleep

I have a newish 15" MBP, 1680 display, hooked up to a Dell external monitor when it's at home. When I go to bed I cut power to the display via control-shift-eject, but generally don't put the computer to sleep overnight.
With this new machine, after it's been running for a while (as little as a day, or as long as a couple weeks), the displays will come on again in the night. Once this happens, the displays won't stay off for longer than about five seconds. If I then put the machine to sleep, it'll wake itself up minutes or hours later (generally not long enough to miss a Time Machine interval). The only cure is rebooting.
I tried an SMC reset, but that fix only lasted about as long as any other reboot.
I've since tried systematically removing every peripheral (a USB hub, the external display, any directly-connected iOS devices) and testing display-off after each; no change. I've turned off my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, then disabled Bluetooth on the computer, turned off wifi, quit every menu extra (jitouch, Viscosity, Dropbox, Pastebot, Fastscripts, Transmit, Teleport), and quit every running application. The problem remains repeatable after every step.
It's repeatable at the moment — any suggestions for other things to try, preferably short of the reboot which temporarily masks the problem? I'm a little concerned that it's going to manifest at some point while I have the laptop sitting in a bag, which will then cook itself.
I'm on 10.6.4 now, the problem started on 10.6.3.
Thanks.

Try checking the system logs in Applications/Utilities/Console.app for clues. The entries carry time stamps. Usually a wake event will leave some trace. By matching time stamps to the time of occurrence you may find the culprit.

Help! My Ipod wont switch off!

please help me..
my ipod wont switch off..i hv a 30GB ipod video..
normally it will switch off automatically after a few mins if i dont play songs, but recently it wont switch off and it's using up the battery!
and when i press hold Play button to switch off manually, it doesnt hv any effect..
help!
does this happen to any of you??

I think this is some type of bug. I have had this problem with my iPod photo and now my 5th gen. iPod.
It's most noticeable after ejecting the iPod from the computer. It takes a short while before you an turn the iPod off. Sometimes it will not turn off when viewing a video. So hit the menu button and start playing a song - then it will probably turn off. It's a bug because the iPod will sense the button press by changing the top porting of the display (toggling time etc..) but it simply won't turn off. I wonder if it's something to do with the hard drive spinning at the moment???
Anyway, try playing a song and try again.
