Hot even after shutdown

i just bought my macbook pro yesterday! i turned it on and started to configure it and after being fully charged i turned the power off. this morning it is still buzzing and is super hot. should i just take the battery out whenever i dont use it? this seems very inconvenient for a 2000+ dollar laptop

How did you turn off the power? Did you use the Shut Down... menu item in the Apple menu?
There won't be any fans once it is shut off but it may take a while to shut down. You might want to watch and wait for the shutdown to be complete to make sure you don't have a software problem.
Once the MacBook Pro is shut down properly it won't wake up again unless you schedule a Start up or wake using the Schedule... button in the System Preferences, Energy Saver panel.
This is different from sleeping where many things could cause the MacBook Pro wake back up. If you unplug the MacBook Pro and close the lid, it should stay sleeping if it is working correctly. Even if you wake up the MacBook Pro in that state using the remote control for example, it goes back to sleep in about 5 seconds.

Devices remain on even after shutdown

Since installing BIOS 1.4, or since converting my IDE drives into Promise RAID-0, I have noticed that my peripherals do not turn off after shutdown. My keyboard lights turn off, but the optical laser on my mouse stays on, as does the LED on my joystick. However, if I unplug the computer and plug it back in, the devices remain off. Can anyone help me out?

I have the same probelm with my system, my micorsoft optical mouse stays on after power down. It only started after I upgraed to BIOS v1.4. However, here's a link to a microsoft support articel about this (atricle 325975 at the knowledge base) ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;325975&Product=hdw). It's apparently not a big deal and it happens. I haven't tried switching over to the USB port yet for my mouse, it's still in the PS2. My only reason for not wanting the light on, is I wonder if it degrades the life of the mouse? The microsoft atrcile says "If the continuous mouse light is acceptable to you, you can safely leave the mouse connected to the PS2 port. ". However, that might be covert talk for "please leave it plugged in so it dies sooner and you have to buy a new one and fatten Bill Gates' wallet". Anyway, I don't think it's a huge issue. Odd that it only happens with v1.4 though....

Hi Thatigowtham,
Welcome to Lenovo forums
As I understood that you are facing the issue with the laptop where the LED lights are glowing after laptop shutdown completely.
I would like to suggest few of the trouble shooting steps:-
Try to boot the laptop by connecting only battery, remove the adapter.
Try to boot the laptop by connecting only adapter, remove the battery.
Also perform the power drain, by disconnecting all the extrernal devices connected to the laptop.
Turn off the laptop.
Remove the battery and also the adapter. Now press and hold the power button for 30 seconds.
Connect the battery and adapter and try to power on the system.
Also check in safe mode for the issue.
Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.
Best regards,

Why is my Macbook so slow, loud & hot even after upgrades?

I upgraded my Macbook a bit over a year ago with a Crucial m4 256 gb SSD, plus 8 gb of RAM compared to the old 250 gb hard drive and 2 gb of RAM. The extra RAM was just for some apps and games, and the SSD was supposed to make the computer silent and cool. At first the system improved a lot, from startup times to overall performance, but ever since this summer, and especially this fall after upgrading to Mavericks, the performance has slumped quite drastically (might even be worse than before the upgrades). Also, there seems to be a lot more RAM usage than there used to be, although I hardly ever run more than two applications at once (iTunes and Google Chrome). Is it the processor (2.4 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo), the new RAM, the new SSD, or the new OS/other programs?

whats going on with my mac??

Your Mac comes with software that measures temperatures and adjusts fan speeds to suit the environmental situation and operational parameters. It's part of OS X.
If you want to take over responsibility for this function by using additional software, then I'd suggest
A) You need a good reason to do this, and I'd be interested to know what this is
B) You need to equip yourself with the knowledge and skills to drive that extra software
If the software you are using is safe to use, it will provide guidance on its use, so that it doesn't get you into trouble. If it doesn't do that and you're not a suitably skilled engineer, then I'd say, get rid of it quickly and let OS X do its job without interference. Otherwise, you risk overheating expensive components as you've already discovered.

Can I set my screen view to zoom out (ie to 90%) permanently, so that after shutdown it remembers the settings for all pages whenever opened (until I change it again) ?

On internet explorer I can set the 'zoom' to 90% and all subsequent internet pages, tabs, windows display at this setting even after shutdown/reboot etc. It is a permanaent setting until I change it. I need this for my eyesight (long-sighted). Can I set this with Firefox?

If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts?

Unable to STARTUP after SHUTDOWN

HELP !!
My main experience is with M/S SQL Server. I am taking an Oracle class and am having a really weird problem. If I log into SQL Plus with SYSDBA privileges and initiate a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE, it shuts down successfully, but I am never able to startup (although I can startup from the Database Control or by re-booting). This is a new install for school and I have never been able to make it work. and Yes, I have waited more than a minute for the LISTENER to try and re-start.

Can you explain exactly what I need to put in the listener.ora file to make this work? I'm not sure I understand completely your solution.

Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

Hi there,
I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
Has anybody got ideas?

Hi
Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
I hope you understand this.
So back to the notebook issue.
There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
I think you should check this out.

Toggle Full Keyboard Access is Not Working after Shutdown/Reboot

Hi,
I'm yet another keyboard maniac and somehow as above subject was keep re-occured every time after enabled it, I've turn it on full keyboard access in system preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. All seemed to be good before I shutdown or reboot my macbook pro. I could access all the dialogs and windows. After a reboot or shutdown, all the dialogs from any other apps can still be accessed via keyboard except one single window, the shutdown window (both from hitting apple->shutdown and control+eject.) I have to toggle control+f1 or control+f7 every freaking time in order to enabled keyboard access to shutdown/reboot. I've tried "defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode" in terminal and it returned 3 which is "Full Keyboard Access ON and All controls" even after a fresh reboot:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
But when I'm using sudoer to check the result was set to "0" means disable:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
Password:
0
+++++++++
So what I do for the workaround/fix is by the set value to enabled it using root access level or sudoer:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleKeyboardUIMode -int 3
+++++++++
Once done do reboot your Mac & check the result in Terminal should shows as below:-
+++++++++
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ sudo defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
=========
Ben-MacOSX:~ Ben$ defaults read -g AppleKeyboardUIMode
3
+++++++++
So it's fixed for my issue. If anyone have better suggestion or the proper method please share.
Thanks in advance.

Settings reset after shutdown + popup

I don't usually shutdown my 2014 Macbook Air except the occasional freeze but recently decided to do so while I wiped the keyboard clean. Once I turned it back on and signed in, I found all my preferences reset including trackpad set to 'tap to click', dock icons reset to original, etc. It seems like everything was reset to factory settings.
I tried going to Preferences to change the trackpad to 'tap to click' but discovered that it was already set do so...yet I'm unable to 'tap to click'.
The other problem is I get this annoying popup which I've never seen before titled "OSX needs to repair your library to run applications". Even after entering the correct password, the popup reappears. Then I tried just hitting cancel repeatedly until it disappeared. That's when a different popup appeared--something titled "mail chain...enter your password"--can't remember exactly.
This was all occurring on one of my user accounts so I tried switching back to the original Admin account and found the same issues occurring there (the account also reverted back to factory settings).
Any ideas? Your help is much appreciated.

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
