HT201150 the function of the power

can can you switch the function of the power to where you hit it once it brings up the dialog box and holding it for 1.5 sec will put the mac to sleep

In System Preferences > Keyboard uncheck Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.

    Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

    I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?

    Hi,
    PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
    NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
    http://www.canuck-software.ca/
    PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
    This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
    The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
    The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
    If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
    The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
    The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
    NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
    If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
    You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
    All the best, woz of oz

  • HT201150 when i tab the power button its not sleep please tell me solution

    when i tab the power button its not sleep please tell me solution

    OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
    You have to tap and hold for a second or so to initiate sleep function.
    The new update changed the behavior of the power button a bit to avoid accidental sleep.
    Best.

  • My iphone 4 photo auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. Please advise how to unlock it.

    My iphone 4 photo/message auto rotation was not functioning, might be accidentally locked as I can see a locked symbol with a circle with an arroe surrounding it at the top right angle , next to the power % indicator. This function was working perfectly since day 1.
    Please advise how to unlock it.

    Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. You will then find the orientation lock in the top row, last icon on the right. White is on, black is off. Tap and turn it off. If you see the lock symbol, then orientation lock is on, and that is what is keeping it in the portrait mode.

  • Precision of the POWER function

    Hi,
    I found something strange with the POWER function.
    In SQLPLUS (or SQL Developer)
    SQL> column test format 9.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
    SQL> select power(9,0.5) test from dual;
    TEST
    3.0000000000000000000000000000000000000100000
    SQL> select power(4,0.5) test from dual;
    TEST
    1.9999999999999999999999999999999999999900000
    These results should be equal respectively to 3 and 2? SQRT function returns the correct result... Is it a bug or did I miss something in my maths course?? ;o)
    Thanks

  • I love the 6th Gen. iPod Nano but it has a major deficiency, the power button. I've bought 2 and they both have given me the same issue of the power button becoming slack and not functioning. Why is this so, and how can I fix it??

    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,
    M.

  • HT201150 How do I configure what the Power Button does?

    How do I configure my power button so hitting it does not automatically put it to sleep?
    Because it is right by the delete key I am hitting it accidentally all the time.  Also my cat is constantly putting my computer to sleep when I am working.  Is there a config file or a hack I can use to force a dialog (Restart/Sleep/Shutdown/Cancel)?

    See the 'More Like This' threads… (right sidebar)
    Power button behaviour
    Power button behaviourRe: after installing maverick power button does not provide options to sleep, shut-down
    The first one is resolved but I can't see how. 10.9's pmset command didn't have the 'power button' setting when I looked recently, it looks like this feature was deleted to me.

  • HT201150 How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?

    How can I turn off this "feature" and have the power button bring me the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by default again?
    With the position of the power button on the Retina MacBooks, any mistake turns off the screen in the middle of a presentation or any activity using a projector or big screen — a huge waste of time to wake up the display, enter password, have the projector sync back, watch audience disconnecting from what was being discussed, etc.
    This is very annoying, and seems to add to the increasing collection of options Apple decided to make by itself instead of allowing the user to choose.
    Come on Apple guys, I'm using my Mac because I want options and lots of preferences to tweak to my needs.
    If I needed the lobotomized version I'd be using my iPad!
    Any way (official or hack) to change this button back to its proper funcionality?
    Thanks!

    Not what you want, but you can get the shut down / restart / sleep dialog by holding the power button

  • My iphone wont turn on and the power button is not functioning

    my iphonw wont turn on and the power button is not functioning

    If your power button is broken, there's not much you can do. You could go to an Apple store & do an out of warranty exchange...Apple doesn't fix iPhones, they replace them. But, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as the iPhone 3G was discontinued almost three years ago & won't run most apps in the app store.
    You'd be better served by selling it for parts & using the money to purchase a new phone.

  • HT201150 the new behavior of Mavericks power button does not make sense

    It should go NOT to sleep when the power button is pressed...if people wants it to go to sleep just close the lid!
    Instead, when the button is pressed, the dialogue box should show up asking people what to do.

  • I got a new apple iPhone 6 today and the power button is not responding after functioning for some time

    i got a new iPhone 6 today itself . i didn't put a sim in it. and after few start ups the power button stopped responding can anyone please help me with that

    Take the issue up with whomever replaced the device, whether that is Apple or another company.
    There is nothing that we, your fellow users, in these user to user support forums can do for you.

  • Can I simply swap the power lead over & it will function the same?

    Can I just use a UK plug on the EU item? I have an Apple airport extreme 5th  gen MD031Z/A  which I used during my time in Germany.  I was just wondering if it will work the same in the UK, if I simply replace the European power cord with a UK figure 8 power cord?
    Are the MD031Z/A (EU version) and the MD031B/A (UK plug) exactly the same? Apart from the power supply?
    I just don't want to damage the unit by swapping the cord?
    Thanks

    The AirPort Extreme will run on 100-240 Volts and 50-60 Hz, so power wise, it will work just about anywhere in the world if you have the right power adapter or power cord for the wall sockets where you will be going.
    Last time I checked the wireless standards were the same in the UK and the rest of Europe, except Switzerland, so things should be fine in that regard.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air - Yosemite keyboard and trackpad stopped working, the only button that worked was the power button, only one USB port works.

    I have a Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
    Upgraded to Yosemite last week.
    Three days ago I was using my Macbook Air for the first time since upgrading to Yosemite. I had been using my Macbook Air for approximately 30 minutes, I was using safari and the keyboard and trackpad stopped working (would not respond). The only button that worked was the power button.
    I rebooted and they were still not working. I plugged in a USB mouse and external USB keyboard, only one USB port would work (the Left USB port if looking at the screen) so I had to swap between keyboard and mouse.
    After logging in there is a bluetooth icon at the top of the screen with a sawtooth line through it. Bluetooth is unavailable and the bluetooth icon is missing from the system preferences menu.
    If I run a hardware test by holding D (on USB keyboard) at startup it says that no problems are found and at the conclusion of the test the keyboard and trackpad start working again. When I log on the bluetooth is working again.
    I shut down the Macbook Air and when I started it again the keyboard and trackpad and right side USB ports were all not working again. I logged in using the USB keyboard and mouse and the bluetooth not available sawtooth icon had returned.
    I ran the hardware test again and at the conclusion of the test the trackpad and keyboard started working again.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and com.apple.Bluetooth.plist.lockfile from /Library/Preferences/ and tried resetting SMC and Power Functions but this did not fix the issue. The only thing that seems to work is running a hardware test - obviously I don't want to do this every time I use the computer.
    I do not believe any hardware is faulty/damaged - I think it has something to do with bluetooth/Yosemite.
    I do not have the Macbook with me at the moment, if you have suggestions that I can try or additional checks/info you require please let me know and I can get back to you.
    Thanks,
    John

    Hi!
    I have exactly the same problem, and I can't find any solution.
    I can't even track down the root of the problem: the Bluetooth/Wifi module? The trackpad? The keyboard/top case? The logicboard?
    I've tried all the usual: SMC/PRAM reset, clean install, kext cache clearing.
    Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
