Backup drive keeps rotating after shutting down the iMac

Hi,
since I installed Leopard, my backup drive (LaCie USB) stays in operational mode after I shut down the iMac (intel 20").
When I choose to shut down the mac, the drive starts to rotate but doesn't stop... Under Tiger this wasn't an issue.
I think the problem is that Leopard doesn't "tell" the LaCie drive to go in sleep mode before the computer shuts down.
Does anyone experience the same problem and know what the solution is?
regards, Martijn

Actually it does open but nothing shows up. I can't use my iMac unless I use the Safari browser and I want to use Firefox! I'm at my wits end as to how to fix this. I have tried everything that troubleshooting has suggested on Mozilla support. Help!!!!!!!!

HELP: torch keeps rebooting and shuts down

I've tried the application loader software on desktop and from the BB site and with and without the battery in and in all cases it does not recognize any software is loaded. All i get is that i have to add some software and I found online some forum that suggested to download any game and add it so it will stop it from rebooting. I can't figure out how to download a game with .ali or alx. Can anyone help as I have gone through all the help messages on here.

Make sure to remove your battery from the 9800 then do the following >
If you have desktop software downloaded you will need to go into your windows files on your computer.
Go to > program files (x86) > Common Files > Research In motion > App Loader > Loader.exe
Click on the loader.exe
Once it loads up click next then plug usb cable form your computer to the 9800 it will detect it.
Keep the battery out, once it finishes loading and it goes into reboot put the battery back in.
Viola like a brand new 9800.

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them. The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer. What is happening

My iMac screen keeps showing pixels of previously opened documents and Safari tabs and hour or two after closing them.
Even when I swipe to the dashboard the outlines are still there when I know they should not be.
The shadow of those opened documents are still there hours later after shutting down and restarting my computer.
What is happening and what shall I do? Thanks in advance.

Not much to go on in your product info, but maybe this will help: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program. If not, then it's time to visit an Apple repair station.

IPod Touch 2.0.1 Reboots and shuts down randomly

I have an 8gb iPod touch on the 2.0.1(5b108) firmware that now reboots and shuts down randomly while just sitting idle. I've tried restoring and resetting and it still does this. In terms of the shutting down randomly it seems like my hold button is sticking or broken, but I can't explain the random restarting. This has only been happening since I updated to 2.0.1. Any advice?

As posted before as m9performance but the forum would not let me logo on as that.
This has been going on for some time now Apple was to fix this problem with the 2.0 update absolute rubbish it is now worse that before just turning it self off and resetting it self e.g. tonight from 17-30h to 18-45h it did this 3 soddin times.
Where as before it would be about once every 3 weeks or monthly it is about time Apple started to honour their customers with a product that works e.g. it dose what it says on the box and plays music until the customer tells it not to.
Come on Apple fix up and fix your product lots of people have mp3 players with out the touch problems like I have said before never mind bringing out a new bigger one 32G get the old ones working first. At the end of the day it is down to YOU Apple and not for the users to have to keep posting the same problems hoping that you as a company decide to fix your mistakes and eventually look after your customers.

IdeaPad U430 touch turns itself on after shut down

Hello,
My laptop keeps turning itself on. If it is NOT plugged in, it reboots itself immediately after shutting down (10 seconds). If I leave it plugged in, it reboots itself overnight, or if I unplug the charger (while it is turned off).
It is not related to any wake timers (disabled), I even completely reset my computer and wiped all my files - no luck, still occurs. I tried downloading a new BIOS but it failed to install. I tried updating other drivers, but most of mine are newer than what is available for download on the support site.
I ran a system scan and there were no corrupt files, no viruses or malware detected (McAfee, Windows Safety Scanner, and Webroot).
I think this is a firmware issue. I disabled AOAC, and still had the issue. Could it be a hardware issue? My PlLenovo is about 7 months old.
Please help! I'm out of troubleshooting ideas.

Try resetting the system management controller.
Many of us rarely shut the Mac off. We just put it to sleep. It is built to run 24/7

MSI Z87I Won't Reboot or Shut DOwn

My new system won't shut down or reboot from the OS (Ubuntu 14.04) or from the BIOS settings, i.e. Settings -> Save & Exit -> Save Changes and Reboot will not reboot the system. All my peripherals will turn off, but the fans stay on and the only way to power off the system is to long-hold the power switch on the front of the case or turn off the power at the PSU.
There is ONE case in which the system will reboot. If I go to Settings -> Save & Exit, choose "Restore Defaults" and then select "Save Changes and Reboot," the system will reboot one time, but it won't reboot or shut down after this.
I'm already on my second MoBo since I thought it was a MoBo issue.
Specs:
SSD: Patriot Pyro 60GB
Memory: 2x PNY 4GBH2X02E99927-16-H
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 LGA1150
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 500W
I've tried reseating the MoBo as well as testing it outside of the case with no luck.

Ah, thanks! Got it.
It looks to me like that is a different link to the same program, as when I downloaded it I got 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer(1).rar' as the filename, since I had just downloaded 'MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar' from the link I posted (or perhaps from a page pointed to by that page, I've already forgotten where I got it...)
I notice that the '180' file has a batch file that runs 'fpt'. Am I supposed to run that batch file, or run 'efiflash bios.bin'? (Or both if this is the first time I've flashed the motherboard)

em nope, its the same program. (1) is auto renamed because the same name was already existing in your download folder

no need to run anything
just let the tool to prepare the USB key then boot from it
when this menu appear select option 2:
1 Run Memtest
2 Proceed with BIOS Update
3 Flash back to prevision bios
then press any key after read some safety instructions
then when asked if you want to Run Memtestx86, answer with "N"
then flash will start and will be asked for reboot when its done
you no need to type or run anything manually, its tottaly automated

IPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down.Have done system restore but no improvement. Suggestions welcome.

iPhone 3GS keeps turning off/shutting down. After numerous attempts I've managed to get it on again. Any ideas - could it be battery? Suggestions welcome.

Try forcing the phone into recovery mode and restore as a new device.
Follow these steps:
iOS: How to back up your device and setup as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Doing this will help eliminate any possible software issue that could be causing this. Setting up a new device will bypass a backup with possible data corruption.
If the issue continues after this, you should contact Apple for service for the phone as it will very likely be a hardware issue.

In 2 node RAC. After shutting down database not able to connect.

I have 2 node Oracle 10g RAC (RAC-1 and RAC-2) on Windows 2003 Server.
After shutting down instance on RAC-2
I am not able to connect to database from any node.
I did this on RAC-2 :
SQL>shutdown immediate;
Database went down smoothly.
SQL>conn sys/oracle@rac as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currnetly know of services requested in connect descriptor.
My first node is running fine but I am not able to connect to database from first node or from client.
Any suggestion???
Regards:
Sushil

One question I want to ask, what should be the Listener Services startup mode in RAC? MANUAL or AUTOMATIC???Ideally, if you are instances and other oracle resources are set to autostart then there is no reason for you to set the listener to MANUAL. You may like to change it to AUTOMATIC so that on reboot it comes up without manual intervention.

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

After shut down screen light was on

after shut down my screen doesn't sleep

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computerwill not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
and uncheck both boxes marked
Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
Step 4
Reset the SMC.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 6
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 7
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

My MacBook pro is stuck on white screen after shut down. Now, neither this is turn on nor turn off.

You should be able to turn off your MBP by pressing the power button down continously for about 5-10 sec. When you reboot it you are going to want to enter into a terminal screen. Hopefully the following YouTube video helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKOX72xNmbo

Mac mini restarts on its own after shut-down.

The Mac mini will restart by itself about 10 minutes after shut down. I turned off all the restart options in energy saver. Funning 10.4.8 with the latest firmware instalation.
Any suggestions how to stop this?

I have had this problem for a looooong time and I think I finally resolved it. Last weekend I was trying a demo of MacPilot 3 and found Elgato's EyeTV had two items in the Power > Events list. Apparently when you set EyeTV to start up the computer for it's schedule it restarts the computer randomly rather in a reasonable amount of time before the recording begins. Since there were two files, I think 1 was left over from previous EyeTV version and was starting up the computer even though I told EyeTV not to start the computer at a later date. Deleting both files seems to be the solution.

Keep rebooting after shut down.
