Installed Yosemite...Mac won't turn off.

Installed yosemite, now my mac won’t turn off completely. All apps are off. After choosing shut down, It doesn’t shut the white light. It looks like it’s in power down mode. But nothing will turn it back on except having to hold down the power button to completely turn it off in Yosemite. then pressing it again to turn it back on. Help!!!!

My Screen Saver won't turn off on my I-Mac. Is there a way to fix this?

I have an I-Mac that every once in a while won't turn off it's screen saver when I move the mouse. I can see the mouse move and switch to the screen with the caculator, but I am unable to get the screen saver to stop and view the screen proper.
It has been updated with mavericks, but was doing this before the update. It's set to update on a weekly basis, so It should be good in that department.
so far, any suggestiosn I have been able to find haven't stopped this from happening. i'm looking for a way to exit out of the screen saver.

Have you tried going to System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Screensaver, and choose "Start after Never"? That turns off the screensaver. Then, under System Preferences/Desktop & Screensaver/Desktop, choose the image you want. You can vary the sleep by playing around with System Preferences/Energy Saver, and playing around with your preferences.

Mac book frozen, won't turn off or restart. I don't have any programs open.

First thing this morning my computer is frozen, it won't turn off or restart. I don't have any programs open.

Thanks, that didn't work a few minutes ago but it did this time. I guess it just needed a few minutes. Problem solved. Thanks again!

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts. Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
Now what?

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?). I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something).
It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to. (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath. When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen. So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
I have tried to turn it off, with no luck. I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

HP Color Laserjet 3550 - the "attention" light won't turn off

I've tried everything I can think of for weeks but I can't get the "attention" light on my HP Color Laserjet 3550 to turn off. It originally came on when a page on from the manual input tray got stuck maybe 20% of the way in. It was a real easy fix, I pulled the page out and now the "attention" light won't turn off. So I can use the printer at all. I've had this printer about a year. I purchased it used. I've always had the manual feed tray as the default because I use this printer mostly for envelopes and less than 81/2 x11 printing as I have an old workhorse HP 4+ for all my straight 81/2 x 11 printing. I've rebooted. I've unhooked cables and the router. I've opened up the printer and removed the casing (the plastic apparatus on the door) and replaced it. The router is a 2Wire HomePortal 1800HG. I'm just baffled here I've printed so much with the manual feed tray and I've had allot worse things happen that I've had to fix. Now a simple stick like this and the light just wont' go off.

HI Vern,
Where did you bought the printer? may you bought it from a different region than your current one?
What is the exact cartridge number of both the black and the tri-color ink cartridge, as well as their product number?
I bought the printyer in the US and the cartridges also came from the US, probably no the same state. Cartdridge # 97, black # 96. I don't see a product number. This is the same # that was in the printer before and the same one I always used. As soon as I pull it out the light goes out, and on again as soon as I install it. This is before the printer even cycles through it's "new cartdridge" routine, if you know what I mean.
thanks for the reply

PLZ Help. PC won't turn off because of EAX Mod

Help! Ever since i installed my X-Fi Fatalty, when I go to turn my computer off, it says now ending EAXModule. After that, the computer won't turn off, but I can't do anything because it says the window station is shutting down. It is very annoying because all my settings aren't saved and I have to turn the computer off manually.
My system:
Athlon 64 4000+ OCed to 2.64 GHz
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
2GB Kingston Hyper X
2 MSI 7900GT's in SLI
50GB Western Digital Raptor
Creative X-Fi Fatalty
Antec 550 Watt PSU

I'm also having a similar problem now, however, if I wait a minute or two the system does shut down. I'm using an ASUS M2N32 WS Professional board, with the my X-Fi Platinum card in the second PCI-X slot; I couldn't get it to work at all in the board's one PCI slot, and the first PCI-X slot has my RAID card in it (Areca ARC-0). My GeForce 7900 GTX is in the second PCI-E slot, since it's too big to fit in the first and leave room for the RAID card.
For all that, the sound card, video, everything seems to work perfectly except for this problem with the EAX module at shutdown. It's very annoying. I've tried stopping CTDetect from running at startup, I've tried completing the registration. Nothing seems to work, but I want my Creative applications. Any ideas?

HELP!! IPOD WON'T TURN OFF

No matter what I do. It's stuck! It won't turn off. Right now it's unplugged from the computer & won't turn off. The battery will run down completely now.
I also had trouble with my computer recognizing the iPod after I installed the iTunes & software & imported a CD into iTunes library.
HELP!!
Lee

you might try putting it to sleep. go to the main menu and choose settings, and then look around there for "sleep" it doesn't shou up on the main menu by default. select sleep and turn it from "off" to "on" then go back to the main menu and select sleep (press center button) and it should turn off.

IPod video won't turn off

I have only had my 30G Video iPod since November and i have taken really godo care of it. Suddenly i take it out charge in my computer, eject and it won't turn off. If i hold pause or wait, it simply wont turn off, but everything elese works. Any advice? Is there a setting i messed up to make it do that or is it simply broken?

Make sure you don't have the hold switch on first.
Then hold down the Menu and Centre buttons at the same time until the Apple Logo appears on the screen. This will reset your iPod, it will not damage the contents of your iPod.

Umm...it won't turn off

I hope I'm not just being dense and missing something obvious, but my iPod simply won't turn off. It's not locked, and I've tried resetting it, but absolutely nothing happens. It will play music just fine, which would be lovely for walking to class if I didn't have to leave it on the charger all day for fear of the battery dying. Any help, or even a "Katelin you're so stupid, just do this" would be greatly appreciated.

try this
settings>main menu>sleep
toggle sleep to "on"
"Sleep" will now show up on your main menu
scroll to "sleep"
hit center button
It should turn off now. If it's a brand new ipod, I would return it.
hope this helps

IPad won't turn off, returns to Connect to iTunes screen

My iPad constantly shows the Connect to iTunes screen. Okay, something's wrong, although I have no idea why . But I won't be near my computer for a few days. I'd like to turn off the iPad until I can, as it asks, Connect to iTunes. But the iPad2 with recently updated software won't turn off.
If I hold just the power button for 6 seconds, the screen goes black. Good, I think, it's turned off. Then 4 seconds later the Apple logo appears and then the iPad shows Connect to iTunes.
If I hold both the power and Home buttons for 10 seconds, the screen goes black and then immediately the Apple logo appears and returns to Connect to iTunes.
How can I get the iPad to turn off and stop burning that image into the screen? Do I just wait for the battery to die?

Got the same problem with my Ipad2. Went do to the update late last night and it seems like the update quit half-way through the install.
Now all i get is the screen telling me to plug in the USB cable and connect to itunes.

E72 WiFi Icon Won't Turn Off

Eversince I installed Whatsapp on my E72, the WiFi icon won't turn off. I've tried uninstalling Whatsapp to no avail. I've also installed NetQin to use it to manage resident apps. I've disable all non-core apps and the icon still appears.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I'm hoping that this won't drain my batteries excessingly.
Many thanks.

This is not a solution...this is just closing your eyes to a problem...
When you set Show Wifi Connection to Never..it just stop displaying the icon...
After setting value to Never, just go and connect to WIFI...now the wifi icon will not be visible...
So if you are connected to WIFI then you will not get notified.
I would suggest dont install whatapp unless you are sure as it does some internal setting in Nokia so that wifi remains connected even after you remove whatapp...
