IMac doesn't want to stay turned off

Whether I shut down manually, or automatically, the computer decides to reboot anytime from a few minutes to an hour later?
Any way to work around this?

It should not be "grayed out". It should just not be checked. Then the EyeTV Helper application will not wake the machine up. It worked for me. Perhaps something else is wrong with yours.
My machine would always start up again anywhere from a few minutes to almost an hour after I shut it down completely. I was not able to find an entry on the Elgato site about what minute of the hour the app wakes the mac up again, but it seems to be on the zero minute. So if I shut down at a few minutes before the hour it wakes up in a few minutes. If I shut down a few minutes after the hour it waits about an hour to come on. It does go back to sleep normally. I thought something else was wrong. I do not like it waking up like that, so I have disabled the auto check for remote setting of programs to record.

My blackberry curve 8530 shut off and now it doesn't want to completely turn on it stays loading.

Hello !
Try the following.
Just pull out the battery and reinsert it again for the POWER restart.
Once it reaches to the loading screen, just connect your device to the charger and keep it idol for 2-3hours.
At times BlackBerry Curve 8520 takes longer time then the usual for rebooting.
Hope this resolves your Problem!

LG Ally It won't stay turned off and texting.

I just bought two Allys. The one I gave my son will stay turned off until he decides to turn it on. Also, while it is charging, his screen goes into sleep mode. The one I have will not stay turned off. If it is turned off and I plug it in to charge, it will turn back on. I then turn it off again. It is off for about 3 seconds, then turns itself back on again. The whole time it charges the screen NEVER goes into sleep mode. If I turn it off and leave it (not charging), it periodically will sound as though it is coming on again and the screen will light. Within about 5 seconds, the noise stops and the screen again goes blank. Have any of you had this happen to yours? I think I should take it back. What are your thoughts?
Also, I can receive texts, but it will not send them. Any thoughts?
I appreciate all the help I can get. This is my first Smartphone, and......it doesn't seem to be very smart so far.

Sorry about the problems you are seeing. I'm surprized you're Son's Ally is turning off during a Charge, normally they stay on. The Screen should go into Sleep mode at the interval you set, like 30 Sec, 1 Minute, so on but the phone is on with the LED Lite displaying the charge status, Red, White, or Green. What do you have your Screen time out set to??? Look under Settings>> Sound & Display>> at the very bootom of the menu is Screen TImeout..
The Ally you have that keeps power cycling sounds like there is an issue with it. I know you are running Android 2.1 but what version of LG Software do you have in the Ally? It should be version 'ZV6' to find this out,, Look in the settings> About Phone>> and at the very bottom "SW Version" It should end with 'ZV6"
With the Txt messages, we have seen some issue we think are with Android delaying messages... Not stoping them but some times they come in groups... Is this what you are seeing? Are there any Errors? Have you checked with Verizon to make sure your settings on the network end are correct?
SOmeone mentioned reseting the phone... You can do this if you like, it will erase all of your Personal Data and any Apps you have added, but it will restore the phone to the Factory defaults, just like it came out of the Box... I have seen this clear up some oddities...
Let me know what I can do to help.

Imac screen image size fluctuates then turns off

imac screen image size fluctuates then turns off. I have an Imac G3 (slot drive/Grape). It is running on OS 9.2 and I believe has 288 MB Ram.It started acting very odd yesterday. First, I noticed that the image on the screen had shrunken in on the sides and was elongated up and down. I restarted and when it came up the image still wasn't right, but it wasn't as out of proportion. I ran norton and first aid which both said everything was fine. By this time the image had stretched out to its normal size. I printed a couple of things and shut it down. This morning I started it up to have a look and the image was all shrunken and stretched again. The image started pulsating then the mac shut off. A few minutes later it started up again on its own so I turned it off. Until yesterday my Mac had been working just fine. Any ideas about what this is or what to do about it? Thanks for the help.

The fact that it is starting up on its own either means that it is scheduled to, or that there is some problem with the power supply, which as far as I can tell, would cause the monitor to do that.

M92p won't stay turned off

Just got a brand new M92p here which will not stay turned off. I perform a regular shutdown in Windows, the system turns off for about a second or two, then turns on again automatically and boots into Windows. I turned off all the Wake features except WOL and also disabled Intel AMT. Bios is also set to stay turned off after a power loss.
Any ideas what's going on here?

Well, I don't really know exactly what the problem is for you that's waking up your M92p's. I'm only responding to your comment that you seem to have narrowed it down to those machines which make use of a USB cable connecting the M92p to the Samsung monitor, which has a built-in USB hub.
And the USB hub entries in Device Manager do have a "power management" tab that does have a checkbox that says "allow this device to wake the compurter". So it seemed worth looking at.
It may well be that the "allow this device to wake the computer" is already UN-CHECKED in the power management tab, and in fact I believe it's the Windows default setting for that checkbox. So it's likely that this particular possibile explanation for some way that your Samsung monitors might have been responsible for your M92p's mysteriously waking up, and an easy thing to try with a simple un-check of the option, turns out to be a dead end. But it still seems worth looking into as a possibility. Can't hurt.
And if it turns out that you DO actually have to un-check this option (which for some reason has gotten checked) in all of your machines that use this particular Samsung monitor with the USB cable connection as that DOES fix the problem of all the M92p's waking up unexpectedly, well... that's life in IT I guess.

Mac doesn't seem to want to be turned off

Processor 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Mac OS X 10.5.5
I've had my Mac Pro for 1,5 years now and I never really had any issues with it. But the last few days it's behaving strangly.
- When I try to turn off the computer, it doesn't respond.
- When I try to turn it off with the power button it goes to sleep in stead of turning off.
- When, this morning, I finally could turn it off with the power button, when I turned it on again, I got the message in the little black/transparant window: Please turn off your computer using the power button (or something similar).
- Also, (and this is happening for a few weeks now) when I try to turn it off, it looks like it's switched off, but it's just the screen getting black, and nothing responds anymore.
Anyone know what could be the cause?

I have had my computer for 1,5 years now, I know it will only shut down when I hold the button for a long time
And yes, the problem was that it didn't shut down from the apple menu shut down option. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that.

I have problem with Flash Player. Full screen doesn't work correctly. Turning off hardware acelleration helps but I want this option to work.

Problem exist only on YouTube. When i want get full screen, I have black screen with audio. If I click few times full screen button it helps, but I want to go to full screen by one click.
If i turn off hardware acceleration everything is ok but vids looks terrible.
I have this problem with Flash Player 10. No 9 works good, but some websites wants no. 10

Generaly FP works, but problem is that i must press few times full screen button. Now i have turn off hardware accelleration, but movies are quite bad.
I have already installed newest graphic drivers but it didn't help.
Everything was good unless Flash Player and Mozilla notificated that update is necessary :<

Ipod doesn't seem to be turning "off"

This happened once before with my iPod and I remember the solution being pretty easy--but I don't remember what the solution was! Here's the deal: when I stop using my iPod, I do what I've always done, which is hit pause and lock it. Only now, it doesn't seem to power down after a minute or so. Instead, it stays on--in a paused mode--and continues to drain the battery. Is there something even easier than a software restore that I can do or is that the best way to go? (When this happened before, it was about 10 months ago and has behaved wonderfully since--until now.)
Thanks!

Hi Stephen!
First of all, be sure that your "Hold" switch isn't turned on (the hold switch is located on the top of your iPod).
Then, after you’ve verified that your iPod’s Hold switch isn’t on, here a few things to try:
-- Reset the iPod. Be sure you're doing it the correct way: Press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for about 5-10 seconds.
Be sure to also try connecting your iPod to a power source while doing this step, as it can be more effective.
-- Try toggling the Hold switch. Flip the "Hold" switch on your iPod (located on the top) back and forth several times.
If a bit of "regular toggling" doesn't seem to do anything, try this:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
3 - After you've done that for a little while, eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.
-- Try letting your iPod's battery drain out. Use your iPod enough that its battery finally goes completely dead, asking for you to re-charge it.
At this point, connect your iPod to your computer's USB port, or connect it to a charger, and leave it there for a couple of hours.
Now see if your iPod will turn off after trying that.
-- If none of these work, you might want to try Restoring your iPod. Note that this does delete all the contents off the iPod, but often clears up iPod issues you might be facing.
For more info on this process, take a look at this Knowledge Base article:
Restoring iPod to factory settings
-- Also, try Reformatting your iPod in Windows if the previous steps don't make any difference.
To do that:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
2 - When iTunes has finished syncing with your iPod, open "My Computer".
3 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format". (If your iPod is not showing in My Computer, make sure that disk use isn’t enabled in iTunes).
4 - Here, verify that your formatting settings are "Default", with the format type set for FAT32. Also, make sure that "Quick Scan" is not selected.
5 - Then, click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
6 - When this is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod in iTunes again, so as to properly reload the firmware back onto it again.

IPhone 4s mobile data does not stay turned off.

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.1.2. When I go into the mobile settings and turn off the mobile data on my applications that I don't want to use my mobile data for, when I exit out of the settings and go back in, they have been turned back on. I've tried a hard reset and doing a reset and then putting the back up back on the phone and none of it seems to help. Its already cost me an additional $40 on my last phone bill because the settings didn't stay off and my songs auto downloaded even though I had the settings turned off.
If there is a fix other than having to reset and not use my backup I would love that, as nothing else I seem to try works.

Clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush.
If still problem, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

HT4413 I migrating from my macbook to new imac. nothing showed up until I turned off the imac but everything I had done previously on the imac disappeared.

I was migrating from macbook to a new imac.
Nothing showed up until I turned off the imac.
When I restarted the imac everythign I'd previously done was gome and the migrated macbook desktop had taken over.
How do I bring back the original imac settings.
Thanks

You can't. When you migrate user accounts, those settings will be used. That's the point of migrating, not to have to reset things Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide for details.
If you want to revert to the original user settings, create an new admin user account. That'll use the default user setup.

Want password function turned off at start up.

Having problem finding help for a simple bit of info. I simply want to turn off the password function so that when I boot up, the enter password window doesn't request for me to enter my password. Simply don't need this security function. Please help!

Didn't work. As you said, I opened the Security pane, clicked the lock to open it, unchecked the box that says "Disable automatic login", clicked on the lock again. Then went to Accounts pane, unlocked the lock, clicked "Login Options". By "specify" your account at the top, I assume you mean click on my name in the top left column which says "My Account" in gray above my name, then has my name, which is NOT gray, then underneath that it says Admin, which is gray? The only thing that changed is now it is asking for my name and password when I start up.

When javascript is on, I see The jre Version: 1.6.0_31
When javascript is turned off, I see The jre Version:
But I still see my url in the Java console as new url is : http://localhost:8080/test/jstest.jsp?javaVersion=1.6.0_31
This says that my browser isn't being refreshed with the following statement in the applet - getAppletContext().showDocument(new URL(getDocumentBase(),newUrl));
Any thoughts please ?
Thanks!

Pass, but "the applet viewer or browser is free to ignore showDocument()". And why all that mucking around with the URL? The URL string you first created is all you need..

IMac Intel Core 2 Duo Screen Turning Off

Hello! I have a 17" iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2ghz Model # 5,1 and the problem is after turning the machine on, and getting logged in, the screen turns off while the backlight is still on forcing me too shut it down via holding the power button down. I cant plug in an external display because that causes the screen to turn off. Im thinking its the logic board (more specifically the video card) that needs to be replaced. Does anybody know what I can do to fix this? Besides buying a new logic board? Maybe its because its running Snow Leopard and cant handle the OSX?

A good chance, but...
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
