Ignoring my Power Options and Volume when I restart

When I restart my MBP it loses my volume setting (comes up half way no matter what I had it set to when I shut down). It also loses my Power settings, specifically dimming the screen, I have it set not to dim before sleep but it still does unless I toggle it on and then off again.
Please help

I have the same problem. Every time I restart, my screen dims after a few minutes of non use despite having unchecked the box in system preferences. If I check and then uncheck the problem goes away. Same problem with the volume as you but no soluion yet.
I have tried resetting PRAM and SMC to no avail in fact when I do this my sleep and screen saver settings revert to default as well (I believe this should happen with a PRAM & SMC reset though)
Any help would be good

    Have iPod Nano Shuffle 6th Gen.  I purchased it when I had Windows Vista.  I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate .  Was fine with Vista.  Now, it keeps shutting off during the song, 3 or 4 times.  Have to press power button and then arrow to restart song.  I went to my iTunes and ran diagnostics.  Passed all until the end.  The last test had a red dot failure.  It said no iPod, iPhone, or iPad found.  Does someone know how I can correct the problem?  iTunes is always updating, so I am current.

  • Update weight and volume when changing the quantity

    Hello ALL,
    For some configurable items, those whose weight and volume depends on configuration, when changing the quantity at set level, weights and volumes are not calculated again and order item is saved with wrong data about weights and volume.
    when ever changing the quantity we will get a message - " Changing date/quantity may result in different BOM Please configure"
    if we do explicitly by clicking "Item Details Configuration' then Weight and Volume will get update automatically.
    my requirement is Weight and volume should get update automatically when changing the quantity with clicking on "Item Details Configuration'.
    could you provide any OSS notes available for this or any help to achieve this functionality.

    Dear Prathap Naidu P,
    Did you solve this issue?
    Because I have the same problem, and I was looking for hints.
    Thank you so much for any help.
    Best regards,

    Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

  • TS2972 i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2,

    i have done all 7 steps recommended by the troubleshooting articles and only when i restart my router does my library show on apple tv2 but only for about 5 minutes, this was never a problem before the updates of itunes and apple tv2, i have spent insane amounts of money on the apple store buying movies and tv shows that i cannot watch anymore, and no there is no firewall on my laptop nor my router, so no port configuration is needed
    i have read many articles for this problem but there is no solution, some say restart the router, others say uncheck the option to sync iphone over wi-fi, others suggest not hitting the "done" button after setting up homeshare on itunes, NONE of them work. My itunes library disappears from ym apple tv 2 after 5 minutes or so

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

    Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone?  If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
    Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP.  I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
    Good luck and don't panic.

  • I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. How do I fix?

    I have a PowerBook G4 with a non-functioning monitor.  It used to work with an external monitor, but I reinstalled the OS, which cleared the display preferences and now when I restart it won't detect the external monitor. This means I can't use the computer anymore. How do I fix? I tried using the Command+F2 keyboard shortcut, but it doesnt' work.  It's possible that since I reinstalled the OS, it still needs to be set up, so there's only a welcome screen (but since I can't see it I'm not sure).

    There is no limit to the number of times you can re-install Office on the same computer.
    You can activate by telephone:

    I was having the same problem.... But I keep forgetting that when you upgrade firefox... or it updates automatically... you need to right click on the firefox start up icon, go into properties, click on the compatibilities tab, and put a check in the "Run This Program As An Administrator" box, then hit apply. Start Firefox, and it should work OK. Problem is...each time you upgrade firefox and/or I think Adobe flash... you need to make sure that box is checked. This is on Firefox 15.0.1 with Adobe Flash 11.4.402.278 all up to date, Windows 7 64bit. If Firefox has Adobe flash add-on, it needs to run in admin mode or it will crash.

  • Iphone 6 mutes sounds and volume when traveling

    When i am driving, the phone volume mutes itself. There is no message tone, even if a video is played through social media, it mutes itself despite the volume button showing max volume

    Is it connected to the bluetooth in your car? That appears the likely explanation or are you plugging it in to the USB of car?
    Check Settings - General - Accessibility - scroll down to Interactions - Call Audio Routing
    Try and change the option and see what happens

  • Satellite A500-1GL - Windows 7 power options and gaming

    Hi all
    Some may know from my previous posts about my issue with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL causing me concern when I am online gaming. Hitting 90% is worrying. And its still happening with the BIOS update and Toshiba now advising to do a factory restore then if that fails send in for repair.
    Looking at the power options,
    I was wondering if anyone could recommend what power options I should consider and would this make any difference for the fan gaming wise (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan cranking up)
    Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of anything that could help that may be an easy solution to this fan issue
    torti :)

    Hello
    To be honest a lot of fan activity during gaming would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run on a very high level. That means a lot of heat will be produced and this must be cooled to avoid hardware damages.
    Furthermore if I play games, its not important how much noise the fan creates because I hear the game music or dialogs Isnt it so? ;)
    Anyway, from time to time its recommendable to clean the cooling system of your notebook using compressed air spray:
    [How to clean the cooling system of a Toshiba notebook? |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]
    And for gaming you can use High Performance or Balanced power option of Windows.
