I'm unable to turn of the lidwake.

With my powerbooks I always turned off the setting that wakes the computer from sleep when the the button is pushed. This is essential when I travel as I don't want the thing waking up in my bag accidentally.
But this doesn't seem to work on the MacBook Pro. I tried entering in sudo pmset -a lidwake 0 and it doesn't seem to take effect. It asks for my password and then nothing. Re-entering it won't even summon a password check.
What's going on? I really, really need this feature.
Paul

it seems like apple is not supporting lidwake for the macbook or just not the version of pmset that ships with the macbook
if you run terminal and type "pmset -g" on a powerbook or ibook, you see a list of settings, one of which is "lidwake". however on the macbook this and other settings do not show in the list. oddly trying to set the lidwake flag still seems to work (it doesn't return an error code) yet apparently it does nothing.
i'm not sure what the implication is but it would be really unfortunate if this lidwaking behavior is now hard-wired.. i for one like to be able to specify when the computer turns on the old fashioned way

You will have to restore your phone as a NEW device, not using backup at all (unless the backup predates the implementation of the restriction password).

Do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple log and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

TS1398 i am unable to turn on the Wi-Fi.

i am unable to turn on the Wi-Fi.

I had the exact same issue with a 2 year old iPhone. I read up on it all day and tried everything. Last ditch - I tried a weird solution I found online and it worked. Overheat the iPhone gently with a hot hair dryer until it gives the Temperature alert and goes into recovery mode.
Now put it in a Ziplock bag and place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. If it comes back on you are ready to do teh following.
Go to Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings. Reset it.
This takes a few mins. Once complete - force reboot the iPhone holding down the Home and Power buttons for about 10 second simultaneously. Once you see the Apple reboot let go.
It's weird - it was my last roll of the dice - but it worked. I was able to switch on the WiFi and it connected.
There is a Canadian post online where many people have had the same success

I turned on the itunes radio on my computer - I am unable to turn off the music, I turned the volume down, however this isn't the answer

I turned on itunes radio on my desk top computer - now I don't know how to turn it off or get to the icon to at least change the channel. I turned the volume down on the computer! any help anyone can give would be appreciated

even if you wipe the drive LoJack is still there, it's installed in a hidden partition so you would have get rid of the entire OS. I caught a glimpse of the culprit and from what I seen he is more of a low life than a computer nerd. It is possible he could have tried to log-in but didn't notice the guest and admin account. While I see what you're saying I still have some hope, from what I've read online it took people more than a day to see that their laptop had gone online. If it can't get replaced LoJack has a $1,000 guarantee but that still doesn't make up for the $3,000 worth of equipment lost.

TS3274 I am unable to turn up the volume on my iPad

I can get my alerts to sound under settings and I can turn the mute button on because the mute icon pops up when I hit the mute button. But, when I try to adjust the volume the volume gauge does not show up. How can I fix my my volume button?

Last resort, force iPad into Recovery Mode.
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

Unable to turn back the capacity to the Mac HD

Hi
I used to have a Windows 7 on my Mac Pro. I used Boot Camp Asisstant to remove the storage and return it to the normal Mac HD. But it ended up with a failure. It took a lot of time like 45 minutes and made me to cancel the process. Now I have lost the availability of Windows 7 remove option in th asisstant although still have another disk with the capacity of 100GB. Please help me out how can I remove it out properly and get my space back.
Thanks in advance.

For the first time, you can redistribute disk space in Mac in minutes!
In the past, to reallocate free space on your Mac, you’d need to back up the Boot Camp partition, delete the partition, recreate an NTFS partition with a new size and, finally, restore the Windows partition backup to the new NTFS partition, a process that could take anywhere between two to five hours. Fortunately, Paragon Software has developed Camptune X, which achieves the same result in a matter of minutes!

How do I turn turn off the right pane in Adobe Reader XI?

I have been using Adobe Reader since 2007, and recently I have been unable to turn off the right pane while reading. If anyone knows how I can deal with this problem, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Don Randall

How To Turn Off The Right Pane
To stop the "Tools|Comments" sidebar from automatically opening every time you open a PDF so that you can view your PDF in full screen, this solution worked for me on both my desktop PC and laptop.
This is the solution:
Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 64-bit) or C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\Services (for win7 32-bit)
Find and Delete these 2 files: DEXShare.spi and DEXEchoSign.spi
Yes, you will still see the word "Tools| Comments" at the top but at least your PDFs will open in full screen and you won't have to click "Tools" to hide that stupid sidebar every time you open a PDF.

How do I turn off the Audio included in "Epic Drama" so I can hear my own soundtrack?

I have used "Epic Drama" to create a Movie but I am unable to turn off the audio included with it so I can hear my own soundtrack. I have clicked on the little speaker symbol within the frame and a line goes through it but the sound s NOT muted. Any ideas please?
Thanks
Rick

Ok, well to begin with when you unpin a music track it goes from 'floating' to 'pinned' - floating is the opposite of pinned (if something is not pinned down it is floating), so obviously you cannot unpin something from the floating box because it is already unpinned.
But you are on the right track - just wrong screen. After you have unpinned go back to you main movie editing screen - you will have noticed the purple box around the outside of your movie in the timeline has now turned green. This green box is the sound track you want to delete. This should now be easy - just click once on the green box to select it (it may look like you have selected the entire project but you haven't and then hit the 'delete' button on your keyboard and you are done.

Monitor f1503 - blue led power light not showing power available. unable to turn on

Hi ,
I have had my f1503 monitor in storage for a while and it was working at last usage. Connected all power and PC connections correctly and turned the power on but no blue led light working and unable to turn on the monitor. Checked the power adaptor - green led lit on power transformer and 12.33 volts were showing at the output end of the monitor power plug. The monitor power plug was inserted into the correct socket. Please help?
Does the monitor have a fuse that may have blown?
This question was solved.

Unable to turn down sound in Yosemite

To all,
I have a problem that I haven't seen until I upgraded to Yosemite. The situation is, Im listening to Pandora or iTunes, and Im unable to turn down the sound from the speaker icon in the menu bar. No matter where I put the speaker, it will not decrease or increase the volume, however if I go into System Preferences and then sound, I can adjust the sound from there, or individually in applications like the ones previously mentioned. Thanks for the help!
Todd

If you have the ambient light sensor on and are under bright lights, that could be the outcome. You can turn off the ambient sensor to see if that is the issue. The check box for this is right below the slider you referenced.

Device get Automatically switched off and unable to turn on ...

Hi experts,
I wish u happy new year to everyone..
I am facing a critical issue in my bb torch 9860,device get automatically switched off and unable to turn on the device by switching the power button .after doing hard reset it turns on ....iam missing calls .please help me how to trouble shoot it

It's obviously a software issue so I suggest jumping right to an OS reload. Battery pulls are always a good place to start but after that you should reload the OS.
To do this, plug your phone in to your PC and open BlackBerry Desktop Software. Click Device at the top of the software then Restore. Choose the most recent restore point and load it.
Let us know if that helps you.

Track Pad on T400 - Unable to turn off

I have a T400 and am unable to turn off the track pad. I have tried Fn F8 which does not work, and have tried looking for trackpad options in control panel (Win7 64bit) but cannot find any.
95% of the time I am using a mouse, but want the option to turn the trackpad back on for the 5% of the time I will need it.
Any help would be greatfully recieved, but please be aware that I am not majorly tekkie.

@bouncy,
If by using Fn + F8 and choosing to disable the trackpad did not work. Try doing the following.
- Uninstall Power Manager
- Uninstall Power Management Driver
- Uninstall UltraNav driver
- Uninstall Hotkey package
- Reboot
- Install Power Management driver
- Install Power Manager
- Install UltraNav driver
- Install Hotkey package.
