Laptop Appearing Not to Shut Down Sometimes

I have a 15 inch Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4. Sometimes after I unfold my laptop, I see the log in screen (the log in screen you'd get after the laptop goes to sleep). However, I should not be seeing this screen because I have shut the laptop down, not put it to sleep. A few seconds after unfold the laptop and seeing the screen, the screen turns grey and shuts down. Why is it doing this and how do I fix it? I'm very sure I'm actually shutting the laptop down.

Does the operating system on the laptop have to be shut down completely before the lid should be closed?

Question about shutting down the middle tier while leaving the DB up

Hi,
We just successfully upgraded 11.5.10.2 from running on 9.2.0.8 SOLARIS SPARC 32-bit to 11.2.0.1 SOLARIS SPARC 64-bit.
I am in the process of rewriting the backup scripts. We used to do a once-a-week backup (zip) of the middle tier directories,
after shutting down EVERYTHING cold (MT first, then DB listener, the DB). Our DB consultant likes hot-only backups of the
DB so we are going to keep the DB running all the time and always do hot backups from the DB, but keep MT cold backup.
We want to keep our MT cold backup so we retain our downtime window that users expect (Saturday night - Sun morning).
So my question is ---- is there any issue with shutting down the entire MT- only (adstpall.sh) -- but leaving the DB up?
When I do a adstrtal (via my script) the next morning--- everything should just start fine with no DB bonce having been done, right?
In the past, once I have the MT down, wait 5 min, kill any stray FND processes, I usually go on to bounce the database
"for good measure". I am 99% sure that I don't have to do this... and that there is no harm in "not" doing this, just need
some confirmation.

One more piece of information - Our concurrent managers shut down cleanly almost all of the time without putting jobs on hold.
We don't have many users (< 60) and while we do have autoinvoice that runs every 5 min, I haven't had to do a big bounce
with cmclean.sql very often-- only about once or twice a year when users lock each others tables and the cleanest fix is to bounce
everything --very rarely.

My laptop heats up and shuts down

I bought my laptop in US and am using the same adapter. Maybe this is the reason, but I'm seriosly worried as my laptop after an hour of use becomes very hot and shuts down. I don't know what the problem really is, but lately, it seems to shut down even quickly.
I thought the fans might not be working, but they were when I looked at them. It's happened from the brand new, and I've used it like that for six months now. But since the problem's become worst, I thought of asking for help here. Is there anything I can do?
Thank you.

HI Shalav,
Your notebook will most likely be using a 'universal' mains adapter so it will work perfectly well in the UK as well as the US.
Your problem is most likely to be a build up of dust in the CPU heat-sink which will reduce its effectiveness to the point where the build up of heat causes the thermal protection circuitry to opertae and shut off power.
Clean out any accumulation of dust and also make sure that there is sufficient air able to circulate through the cooling system. Leave plenty of spoace around and under your notebook.
regards,

Laptop over heating then shutting down

Model; Satellite L355-S7812
I've hade this computer two years. It started over heating then shutting down soon after I purchased it. It use to take 4-5 hours before it overheated now its less than an hour. What can be the problem?

Probably the fans. They may need to be replaced. The Qosmio I purchased in 2005 had the same problem. I replaced the fans twice over the 5 years I used it. Fan issues are known problems with certain models, especially those that have high CPU usage. By the way, a Toshiba technician told me never to place the laptop directly on the lap or on a soft service like a bed. The fans can't ventilate properly, especially if they are located on the bottom of the computer. Since I have done that, the fans have worked fine.

Mac book pro shuts down in middle of booting up

I am using a 15' MBP 2010 OS X Lion. Earlier tonight I was following advice from a cnet article on how to prepare for a clean install to Mavericks. As suggested, I started up in Safe Boot mode and ran repair permissions. After completing that I restarted the machine and now it complete shuts down in the middle of the start up process. At first I get the grey screen, apple logo, turning gear, but then a progress bar appears at the bottom of the screen. After a few minutes the fans start to really kick in and then suddenly everything shuts down.....silence.
I can start up in recovery mode and have (re)selected the start up disk, but the same issue occurs.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi mkostiuk,
If your machine is shutting down while booting with a progress bar, you may want to try using Disk Utility from Recovery Mode to see if there are any disk issues. You may find the following article helpful:

Laptop overheating and automatically shutting down

I have a Compaq Presario A900 laptop. It always had overheating problem for which I have a cooling pad. However, for the last few days, the overheating phenomenon has increased and the system is shutting down automatically... Please help.......

HI;
The easiest thing to do is to spray canned air into the vents by the fan and heat sink. If a lot of dust comes out, that will probably take care of the issue. If no dust comes out, then you have other issues causing overheating and thermal shutdown. Take care not to overspin the fan blades when you blow the air into it.

How do I restore my IPod? I shut down in middle of updating, now it's a BLANK white screen??

iPod 4th gen was manually shut down (holding both buttons down to shut off...) while it was in middle of updating to ios 6, and now every time I turn bk on, it's a blank white screen! Looks like iPod has been wiped out! Please tell me how to fix this? I hooked to Mac, and still blank screen!!!

Like I said in your previous post:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

X100e too hot, shuts down

Over the last month or so, and in 4 different occasions, my X100e (AMD Athlon Neo MV-40, 3GB RAM) has gotten too hot, to the point that it has shut down by itself. I didn't get any notification that it was an emergency, temp related shutdown, but I assume so because the bottom of the unit was extremely hot.
One of those occasions I was transferring video to my Zune player, 2 other occasions I was downloading music and 1 just listening to music while browsing the web.
Does that seem normal? I ran some tests with the Thinkvantage Toolbox and it said the temperature reached 86 c degrees... and it didn't feel as hot as those other times.
I've been a Thinkpad owner for over 10 years and I've never had this kind of trouble. I'm not sure if this is normal for this model, or I got a defective unit.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sorry for my bad English by the way.
Solved!

Hello,
Just to check, do you have the latest BIOS firmware installed for your X100e?
You should be able to download it from this page on Lenovo's support web site.

SInce updating my iphone 5S to ios 8, iTunes shuts down during the app sync process. Any ideas how to fix? I now have the newest version of itunes on my laptop and it still shuts down.

Since updating my iphone 5s software to ios 8, iTunes shuts down everytime in the app sync process. I have the most current version of Itunes on my laptop. Any ideas of how to fix?

I feel its more of my sync drivers for itunes/iphone not working if that makes sense. Its not my itunes that stops responding, its more of that if the phone syncs up it fails to anything further.
I've tried sync another iphone to the same itunes and windows autoplayer will allow the photos sorted on the iphone to be saved to the laptop but itunes won't even recongise the device is plugged in.
Although it will charge the battery

Laptop wont start after shut down.

Hello, i got problem with HP Pavilion g6.
Yesterday i watched youtube, and laptop was on side, when i got too tired, then i shut down and left it on side for the night.In the morning i got home and thinked that battery is too low to start but when i plugged in power cable then the light even didnt turn on that's next to plug in hole. I have checked my power cable,it works fine but laptop dont do a single thing, even not the single light wont work.
Sorry for bad English,and its hard to write with phone.
Thank you.

Hello Uku,
Welcome back to the HP Forums!
I understand your HP Pavilion G6 notebook does not turn on. If the light around the power connector on the notebook does not light up, either the connector is not functioning or is not getting power from the adapter. If the LED indicator on the adapter is lit, it's a good sign that the adapter is functional, but is not a 100% fool-proof way to determine if it is working.
If possible, try another power adapter. Any adapter that fits will work for testing purposes. Once you have determined if the adapter works or not, discontinue use immediately and replace the original adapter if an alternate adapter works. You can order parts here: HP Part Surfer. You will need the exact model or product number to use this website. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
You may also want to try reconnecting the power connector inside the notebook. For steps on removing and re-seating the power connector you can check out our Maintenance and Service Guide. The steps you're looking for can be found on page 63. Simply remove and reconnect the power connector and see if that resolves the issue.
If the above suggestions do not resolve the issue, I recommend you contact phone support for available service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.

Laptop battery drains after shut down

Hi, I have bought hp pavilion 15-no28se six months back,
Its working good, but one issue is contantly irritating me, it is due to its battery drainage after shut down overnight.It almost drains 8-10 percent withing 12 hours. Whereas, I properly shut down it and caliberated as well, but of no use. Although, battery status is OK, and I think battery is fine becasue once I took out battery from laptop for 24 hours, then inserted again and checked it and not a single percent dropped down.
I am so tense that why it is draining when battery works well and properly shut down?Please guide me on this.I am waiting..

Hello again rocket_sc,
I hope you had a great weekend!
To test, calibrate, and re-synchronize your battery you will need to first follow the steps in this document on Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8). Once this is completed, and the battery continues to drain, then you can move to re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
I understand that this process can be a little overwhelming, but not to worry! I would gladly expand on the steps provided above!
To answer your first question: you are not uninstalling the software as you would from Programs and Features (like uninstalling software downloaded from a CD). Instead, you are removing small driver components removable from the Device Manager.
To get the Device Manager, please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Go to Device Manager:
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 2. Select Batteries:
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
a. If you see any duplicates of the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery", please select them both.
Step 4. Click Uninstall
a. You might also see an option that says "disable." Please disregard this option, and click on Uninstall.
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Restart the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for one minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find and install the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 9. Select Batteries
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there (there should only be one).
Step 11. Click "Update Driver Software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
a. If you do not see this parcel of software in the Device Manager, please skip this step. If you do, the same steps would include:
* Right-clicking this device driver in the Device Manager
* Click on "uninstall"
* Put a check in the box next to "remove the current driver" and pressing "ok"
* Restarting the computer
* Remove the battery for one minute, then re-insert it
* Return to the Device Manager
* Right-clicking the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
* Click "update driver software"
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

G4 733 Quicksilver shuts down in middle of startup chime

I've installed a new 80 gb harddrive (setup as master) installed latest drivers, installed a new pioneer DVD "superdrive".....for the purpose of upgrading my OS from 9.2 to 10.4.6 "tiger".....now machine shuts down almost immediately after the startup chime sounds....Do any of y'all have any ideas on this one.....any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated....many thanks......

Many thanks William...I had already tried that several times to no avail......But then I remembered something similar that I witnessed at a Mac store when one of the techs was "tearing his hair out" trying to figure out the solution to similar symptoms...He took the memory boards out (one at a time) and, sure enough one of them was causing the problem. I did zap the pram again after reading your comment, but it was still the same. This machine had two memory boards in it, a 128, and a 512..ALL of them must be functional, AND making a good, clean connection. Well, I took out the 128 first, cleaned it, put it back in tried startup....no change. Then I removed the 512, cleaned it, reinstalled it, and when I hit the startup button, it started so quickly, (and the superdrive disk drawer flew open) that it startled me...Problem Solved......What a Christmas present I just got. This machine had been doing really strange things for several years, but was fairly reliable on 9.2. I actually was so aggravated with the G4 that I had just bought another one like it that han a new 40 gb drive in it with OS 10.2.8 already installed along with classic. I put this 40gb HD in this computer, and the new 80 gb
in the new G4......they are both running on X now....I'm so excited, forgive me, but I feel like a kid in a candy store....Happy Holidays to all of you Yeah, MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy NEW YEAR......thank you all

Why does Computer shut down in middle of burning DVD?

Please help me! I am so frustrated. I have been using PE3 with no problems for over a year. This past week I downloaded the free trial version of PE4 and it kept crashing so I removed it. I made a project in PE3 and it's been crashing every time I try to burn to DVD. So I also removed and re-installed PE3 and re-created the project and once again it gets so far into the burning and then the computer shuts down. This never happened before and has only happened since I had PE4 on my machine, which I removed through add/remove programs. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I have deleted Quicktime and checked to make sure my audio driver is up to date, it is. My video files are MPEGs and I do have some stills on the timeline but when I removed them it still crashed.
Steve - I have done everything except #1 and nothing works. I cannot burn to a folder.
Here's what's different and maybe the culprit(s). This is the first project since -
1. I downloaded the PE4 trial version. I have since removed it and re-installed PE3 with patch. (Vista still crash)
2. Best buy installed SP1 on my system - hmmm, could SP1 give me this issue?
Thanks.

Ipad shut down in middle of an app and wont turn back on or charge. what can i do?

While using my ipad watching a video on youtube, it just shut down and went black. i have tried to charge it and it doesnt even show that it is connected. Ive tried turning it on from different buttons and still nothing. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?

Reboot your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
