Mac Mini, Turn off Power Light

Hi
I just wondered how you can disable or turn off the power light on my computer while using it.
Thanks

Tape it over? I'm sure you'll find some cute little sticker to put over it. Is the LED annoying you?
Cheers
Steffen.

Mac mini turns off without any reason

My Mac mini turns off without any reason. I just want to make a backup with time machine and after a while the computer doesn´t work anymore. I just see the start-screen with all the users and I had to sign with my user password. After the mac restarts, I had to start time machine again. I stopped energy-management, because I thought that might be the problem but not. Time machine should work the whole night, but I don´t want to sit the whole time next to the mac to wake him up every several minutes. What can I do?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy
If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, click it and enter your login password when prompted.
Click the Advanced button and, in the sheet that opens, uncheck the box marked
Log out after … minutes of inactivity

Why does my mac mini turn off by itself?

My 2009 mac mini turns itself off after a few minutes. This started after a power failure. Might the logic board be fried?

1. Reset the SMC, as per > Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Zap the NVRAM/PRAM, as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
3. Boot into Safe Mode, as per > Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Then boot back into normal mode and if it is still turnning itself off...?
Run the Hardware test, as per > Using Apple Hardware Test

Mac mini turns off after watching movie in front row

we were watching movies through front row on my mac mini (intel core duo from 2004, 1 gb processor) and it turned off a few times, all within about 15-30 minutes of each other. I just upgraded to leopard a few months back but have not had any issues until now. the mac mini is also connected to a hard drive where we store our movies.
Has this happened to anybody else?

I have the same problem. It's pretty annoying and renders the app useless. For now I solved the problem by preventing my Macbook going to sleep via the power settings. Since this is a waste of energy, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Satellite A660 How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.
However bothers me is the lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
In Bios I could turn off the led illumination, but the power on/off button is still lighting,that distracts me when i am working.
This notebook has two power LED, so the power on lighting is in my opinion, unnecessary.
My question is: How can i turn off the lighting of the power button?

Here you can see the LED with the same function in front of you: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/t009aae62jpg.jpg
Yes in fact, the difference is color, design, but also location and brightness of the LED.
For me, this LED is too bright and it is distracting in the dark, as you can see here: http://s3.imgimg.de/uploads/leddf570760jpg.jpg
I was today at a local electronics store, and saw that Toshiba has the brightest Power LED on A660, but why it must be placed under the LCD and not in the front as in my old notebook Toshiba A210.
I also had the idea with a tape, but it would look ugly, and it must be removable without residue.
P.S. Also the fingerprints on the glossy keyboard do not look nice.

C5550 printer gives error message "Turn off power, then on again" with all flashing lights

This printer all of the sudden in constanty jamming up and gives error message "Turn off power, then on again", makes a lot of noise, and does it again. Can't get any printing done! I'm about to throw it out the window. Any suggestions?

Hey,
I have been looking around trying to find the error that is associated with the blue blinking light above the memory card slots on the lower, right-hand side of the front of the printer. I have found that it is called the photo light; but, in regards to the flashing of it, I can't seem to find what that means.
I recommend removing all memory cards from the slots, unplugging the power and leaving the printer unplugged for a while. Hopefully when you plug it all back in, everything will be ok. If not, let me know. In the meantime I'll keep looking and when I hear back from you I'll hopefully have some more information for you.
Thanks for your detailed reply, have a great day, Look forward to hearing back from you.

Mac Mini Doesn't Power ON

While watching a movie, the mac mini suddenly switched OFF. I tried several times to turn it ON and tried different wall outlets but it doesn't turn ON.
Anyone knows what is this problem? does the mac mini have a power supply inside? and how to make sure it's not the adapter that was fried?

Since you posted in mini (2009), assume you have an Intel-based mini. Reset the SMC:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
If there's not a more serious problem, that should take care of things.

Mac air turning off after starting

Mac air turning off after starting

Hello
Did you check the power saver settings?
Push he first slider far to the right up to never so that your Mac Mini never stops.
Also untick the suspend hard drive activity as soon as possible to avoid lag on your Minecraft server.

How do I TURN OFF power management???

My computer still keeps going to sleep and the only way to wake it up is to hit the reset button. I tried enabling the keyboard-wake-up to wake it up, but then it started rebooting itself spontaneously every 15 minutes -- without any warning from Windows. It doesn't matter whether I select S1/POS or S3/STR mode -- it does the same thing every time. I don't want S1 or S3 power management. I want to TURN OFF POWER MANAGEMENT COMPLETELY! I only want Windows to turn off the monitor. The BIOS should do nothing!
How do I accomplish this??????????
BIOS v1.3
NEO2-LS
Quickboot - disabled
IDE Busmaster - disabled
ATA mode - native
ATA config - P-ATA only
Performance mode - slow
dynamic overclocking - disabled
S.M.A.R.T. for hd enabled
Power Supply - @Power EP43057 (430W)
HD Western Digital UATA WD800JB
video card - MSI FX5600TD128
512MB Elixir 400 MHz DDR Ram
Lite-On DVDROM
Pentium 4 2.6GHz HT 800MHz

This is strange - my understanding is you would usually use the Power button to wake the suspended PC...
Could what you are experiencing be more of a shutdown or instability?
Is it due to BIOS setting or Windows? Here are some possibilities
1. What is your selected Power Scheme? Are your options for Turn off hard disks, System standby & System hibernates set to Never?
2. These BIOS settings work fine for me ...
ACPI Standby State : Auto
Power Management/APM : Enabled
Suspend Time Out : Disabled
Set Monitor Events
FDC/LPT/COM Ports : Monitor
Primary Master IDE : Monitor
Primary Slave IDE : Ignore
Secondary Master IDE : Ignore
Secondary Slave IDE : Ignore
Set WakeUp Events
Resume on PME : Disabled
Resume on RTC Alarm : Disabled
Keyboard PowerOn Function : Disabled
Mouse PowerOn Function : Disabled
3. Does your keyboard have any of those quick buttons for Power / Sleep / Wake ? Could any of them be stuck? (Mine has these in a most inconvenient place - between Delete/End/PgDn and arrow keys, so I sometimes accidentally pressed them)

My C5500 keeps on saying to turn off and lights flash all the time

Hi, My C5500 printer keeps saying to turn off power and lights are blinking? Should I uninstall and re install? What happens to info already on the computer?
Thanks,
T

Hi Tinkerbelll,
I understand that you are having an issue with the printer. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. In this document for 'Turn Power Off then On' Message Displays on the Control Panel there are steps to clear this error.
Let me know if this helped or if you need further assistance.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Mini turning off without reason

Hi all,
I am a bit ****** today, since this morning my so far beloved mini stopped working. I just went of during a normal Safari session. I tried restarting everything without luck. After a while I figured out that unplugging the PSU from the wall outlet and waiting 10/15 seconds will eventually help. So I did and the mini booted up again. Tried to analyze the issue without luck.
So I decided to make a backup of all data first. Backup started but about 10 minutes later mini turned off again.
I tried pretty much everything I can think of (unplugging all devices, resetting PMU) without luck. I also opned the case and tried it open to see if it is a heat problem (allowing more air).
Again the symptoms:
- Suddenly turned off
- will not turn on unless unplugged from wall for about 10/15 seconds
- time staying on varies from 10 seconds (not enough to boot up) to about 10 minutes (not enough to work)
- fan seems to work, I can hear noise and feel the air flow
- Neither PSU nor mini itself feels extraoprdinary hot
So I am at the end of my wisdom. Any hints?
Obviously my mini just ran out of AppleCare in august. Great timing!!
If I cannot find any idea I will bring it in tomorrow to analyze, may be it is a small thing .....
Any idea would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel

Sorry to hear about you Mini's problems.
I'd suggest running the hardware diagnostics. You do this by starting the Mini from install disc 1 while holding down the "D" key until you see the "gear" spinning on the screen.
Hopefully the Mini will run long enough to get diagnostic results.
Also, if you are near an Apple Store, perhaps they could check the power supply of the Mini.

Turn off power saving for USB

Hi!
I have a problem with my external soundcard needing disconnection/reconnection after my MacBook's been sleeping. As a workaround I would like to turn off power saving for USB when the Mac's not running on battery. Is this possible?
Kind regards.

Mac mini won't power up, any suggestions

My Mac mini won't power up for more than a couple of seconds, I've tried disconnecting the power supply for 24 hours and it still won't power up. Any suggestions?

I just fixed mine today after 3 previous failed attempts to fix. While this probably will not be your solution, it is worth a shot. I too had a board that would not power, NOTHING. With a volt meter I could confirm that the Power Supply was good, and was also delivering voltage to the Mother Board at the connector.
The root cause in my situation:
The SMC reset button on the Mother Board was stuck in the depressed position (i.e. a short).
The Fix:
Pry SMC Reset button off the board with a very tiny screw driver or other such tool. It cleanly popped off the board.
The pads will remain, allowing you to still reset SMC in future if needed by just shorting them the old fashion way.

I messed up migrating from old iMac to my shiny new one. I didn't turn off power saver. How do I start again, it's all gone wrong, help

I messed up migrating from old iMac to my shiny new one. I didn't turn off power saver. How do I start again, it's all gone wrong, help

Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility and wipe the HD. Quit DU and restore the OS. On first boot, migrate properly, using the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

Turning off power saver temporarily.

Is there a way to let the computer know I want to turn off power saver(dimming the screen then turning the display off) when watching DVDs? I seem to remember it was automatic with an older version of DVD player. Also is the solution applicable to VLC?

Yes, but I have to do this every time I want to watch something with either of those programs. I'm sure the old version automatically overcame this problem. At the moment I have to keep moving the mouse or touching the keyboard every few minutes.
