How to change power settings?

My G series Windows 8, 64-bit laptop keeps going to sleep after about 2 minutes while plugged in.  I changed the power settings via Windows 8 (by personalizing desktop and / or clicking on battery).  But it still keeps happening.  Is there another setting I need to change specific to Lenovo?  It's annoying as all get out, and frankly a little ridiclous I need to waste time tracking this down.
Thank you.

There are a couple of free utilities that purport to intercept the power key, but neither of them work for me with Mavericks and a 15" Retina MacBook Pro:
PowerKey
PowerBlock – I thought it might work with Mavericks contrary to what the site says because someone posted in another forum implying that it works with Mavericks.
AFAIK, Keyboard System Preferences cannot change the keyboard shortcut for the power key.
It'd be great if Apple gave us a way to prevent accidental Sleep, which can be a killer when doing something mission critical. I'm pondering removing the physical key altogether…

  • How to Change Security Settings on an Existing Wireless Network

    I'd like to change existing network security settings to WPA2, AES or at least to from TKIP to AES.
    I'm familiar with browser access to the router and with how to change the settings on the router.
    My question is how to do this as painlessly as possible for the network.  Step by step would be nice
    I guess first I have to change the router settings using the computer running Easy Link Advisor?
    Do I then have to disconnect/reconnect that computer?
    Do I have to disconnect every other computer and then connect each one again with the updated settings?
    Will the change in security settings affect my print server?  If so, do I have to set it up from scratch in ELA?
    For the record, I have a WRT-300N and the print server is a 54g.
    Anyone who reads this may also want to look into recent news.  May not be a big deal, but a vulnerability of WPA/TKIP has been identified.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who answers.
    Solved!

    Do I really need to set security for my wireless connection. I searched for available WiFi in my area prior to installing my  network and none were available. Does that matter?
    The network never did function right from the start. My desktop is a Dell Inspiron 510n and is not wireless capable? So when I tried to add my HP mni 1000 it did not let me access the Internet.
    So now I have an unsecured network. Am I vulnerable to attack?
    Which leads me to my real question How do I change the security settings?
    Oh yeah, my home computer crashed due to a program I downloaded, so I do not have access to it. i'm a mess....
    Thanks,for any help

  • How to change Preset settings (CS4)

    Hello everyone,
    I'm going to make a video with Adobe Premiere CS4 and I need to know how to change Preset settings or however it is called, because I think none of the Presets match with my videos (tried some and my videos were bigger or smaller).
    My videos are .mov, 800x600, made and rendered in Autodesk 3ds Studio Max 2010 (3D Program).
    Could someone please help me? I don't know if there's a preset for me or if I have to change settings or something like that (and where). Yes, I'm new! I'm from Spain if you need it.
    Feel free to ask anything you need, of course.
    Thanks in advance,
    Marta

    Marta,
    Welcome to the forum.
    In CS4 and CS5, one can set the Preset at the Sequence level. Before, it was more global, at the Project level.
    In Sequence New, you will choose the Desktop Preset, and then you can alter almost every displayed attribute, such as Frame Size, or Frame Rate, etc. you want to match your Sequence to your source footage 100%. After editing with those attributes matching, you can then Export to a desired output setting with AME (Adobe Media Encoder). You choice of Desktop, allows you to customize the settings to match. I wish that Adobe had named it "Custom," as the term "Desktop" is a bit abstract, though it has been around for a very long time.
    Good luck, and do match your Sequence settings (Desktop) to your source footage.

  • Tecra A3 does not work after changing power settings

    I changed my power settings in my tecra a3 laptop and now it won't start properly. wants to start but just keeps going back to press F2 or F12 please help.

    Hi,
    where did you changed them? In the BIOS or in the Toshiba HW-setup?
    I would suggest you to go to the bios after powering up your machine. You must just hit F2 ant then in the bios search for the setting "setting everything to default" or something with "bios setup defaults" to reset your bios settings.
    After that your machine should boot up again.

  • How to change colour settings on Satellite Pro P300

    I just got my new laptop and can't for the life of me find how to change the colour settings in the monitor.
    On my old desktop there was a button on the monitor.
    Being a first time laptop user im going nuts trying to find how to change my monitor settings...
    If anyone can help id be so grateful

    Please dont mix the notebooks internal monitor with the external desktop PC monitor.
    You will not find any control unit like on the external monitor which would help you to change the color.
    I dont know what graphic chip your notebook uses but my notebook supports Intel graphic card and the preinstalled Intel graphic media accelerator (in control panel) provides some settings for color correction;
    The settings are; color, gamma, brightness and contrast
    There you can set the values between 0 and 100

    Yup got it back after waiting, followed the remaining directions, but didn't work for me... not sure why?  Upon rebooting folders do not change after I readjust settings and click 'use as default'.... strange...

  • When closing and reopening, my tabs aren't restoring like the once did. My history is only keeping one day. Need to know how to change these settings.

    When closing and reopening Firefox, my tabs aren't restoring like they once did. I used to have all my tabs restore each time I opened Firefox. Now it starts with one fresh new tab and all my others are lost. I do a lot of research so this is important.
    My history is only displaying one day even though I have never changed my settings even after I updated it last year.
    Need to know how to restore these settings.
    ***OH! special note: I can't use the recently closed tabs or recently closed windows because its a grayed out option****

    Are you using cleanup software like CCleaner?
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • How to change sequence settings without CC 7.1 update?

    Well, i was hoping that Adobe will release 7.1 update on October 15th, as promised on some websites. I don't recall, maybe it was Creative COW or any other.
    That's why i have created 720p PRORES proxies for 9x multi-camera live performance shoot which lasts for 2 hours for lag free, fast editing.
    I have sucessfully edited it and promised my clients that on October 16th they will get the whole show in 1080p, high quality.
    So, there is no update yet, and yes, i can relink files to original 1080p, but the multicam sequence is capped to 720p and i simply can't find a way to change it's size.
    The old fashion copy/paste way from one sequence to another does not work, since 720p sequence is linked to multicam edits. In CS6 i could edit ".prproj" file in text editor to change any properties (including sequence properties), but right now in CC, .prproj file contains binary data only, so i can't do it that way either.
    Maybe someone knows any other way to change sequence settings right now, or what is the exact day for 7.1 release?
    Thank you!

    Hi Paolon!
    You need to extract your .prproj using WinRAR to a text .prproj file, then use some text editor such as Notepad to search and replace sequence dimensions
    For example find "1920" and replace it to "1280" if it looks like Īt belongs to a sequence definition.
    I don't recall how it was called, maybe "VideoFrameRect" or something similar.
    First create some very simple project to experiment with, and always make a backup copy in case something goes wrong

  • How to change jumper settings on Toshiba hard drive?

    Hello,
    I have a 1.33 ghz 12 inch Powerbook model. Recently, I had been experiencing occassional failure on the internal 60GB hard drive, and I decided to have the drive replaced altogether before the whole thing died. I've got a new drive in the computer now - and wanted to get back onto the old one to access some information. I picked up an external 2.5" enclosure to access the drive as an external drive - the only thing is that I believe I have to change the drive's jumper settings to "slave," and I can't figure out how to do it for the life of me. Anyone know how to change this setting on these internal drives, or what I need to do in order to access my information using an external drive enclosure? Thanks so much...

    What kind of enclosure is it? For more than one HD so it would be the second one? Otherwise you can just put the drive in the enclosure and use it over FW or USB. Single HD external disks work afaik best with the HD set to master or cable select -> most times no settings change needed.

  • How to change sync settings in iTunes

    How do you change sync settings in iTunes? I want to be able to connect my iPhone to iTunes and not have my iPhone automatically sync information to/from my computer and iPhone.

    At least taking a glance through the iPhone user guide may be a good idea for you especially if you don't know how to change your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. With your iPhone connected to iTunes, select your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list. The various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes will be available in the main iTunes window.
