You'll want to reset your SMC (System Management Controller). Instructions are simple:

  • Just bought pro with new os installed - will not let me run install disk for lexmark printer

    just bought pro with new os installed - will not let me run install disk for lexmark printer?

    Is that disc for Mac systems or Windows ?
    I suggest you visit Lexmark web site and download and install drivers for your exact printer manually.

  • Macbook - Shuts down with low battery and doesn't go to sleep

    I have a Black MacBook 2.16 core duo and have been dealing with this same issue for about 6 months.
    At first, the MB (macbook) worked perfectly. battery would get to 5% or so, warn me then go to sleep, then write a safe sleep image, then shutdown. I would turn it back on and it would restore the image to where I left off.
    After about 2 months this stopped working properly. When running solely off the battery, the MB would get to about 20% and just shutdown. ppbbbbllltt!
    I've spent endless hours on the phone with people in the Phillipines and sitting at Genius Bars. I've gone through all the things mentioned in Apple's support thread: calibrated the battery, reset PRAM, reset SMC / PMU, updated the battery uupdater to 1.1 then 1.2 (I think that 1.3 is only for MB Pros)
    I'm on my THIRD BATTERY..it's happening again...at least with the first 2 it worked for a couple of months. With this battery, it bombed out on the first cycle that I went through.
    Is this the logic board or the motherboard or something else??
    Any other ideas on what to try?
    Is this a hardware issue (IE motherboard, logic board...) ?
    Is this a software issue (IE - OSX) ?
    Is it a firware issue (IE - battery firware) ?
    I'm at a loss....

    If it's your third battery you need to have Apple look at the computer itself. As you know now switching batteries is not fixing it. I would guess it is in the power control circuit which is on the motherboard. You need to call and get it checked out.

  • AE with inbound SIP and RTP over UDP - Will not open ports

    I am using a Linksys SPA962 IP Phone via an Airport Express with the latest firmware connecting to an Asterisk PBX (http://www.asterisk.org) over the internet. I may make outbound calls and have my incoming and outgoing audio over RTP with the appropriate UDP ports no problem. But, when I receive an inbound call, I get the SIP INVITE no problem, but the AE refuses to open those RTP ports. I have NAT keep alive at 15 seconds.
    Now, I have tried almost every combination. Enabling NAT-PMP forwarding to all of the appropriate IP/Ports, turning it off (really should not be necessary with keep alive on register with the Asterisk). I am stumped, it is almost as of AE does not like UDP for inbound. I have others using Linksys routers with a similar configuration working inbound and outbound no problem.
    I am stumped. Ideas? Chuck the AE in the bin?

    I Googled up the following:
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/Macnetworkprog/2006/Jul/msg00040.html
    I am having this issue:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7256265#7256265
    Are all these things the same issue?
    My ISP "tells me" that they will not allow more than one IP address per account. I have a basic cable modem i.e. not a router. Its a D-Link DCM-202. I have been told to try a level-2 switch but I can't see how that will work. As far as I can see the DCM-202 cable modem is bridging to my AEBS so that is allocated the WAN IP address by the ISP's DHCP server. Does this sound right?
    I'd like to create an actual DMZ but since my cable modem only has one port I can't see how I can do that unless I use 2 routers. If I try this I am expecting that I'd have complicated port forwarding configurations no?

  • M45-S165 with new Hard Drive will not reformat and recover.

    I replaced the crashed Hitachi 80GB hard drive with a new WD 320 GB WD3200BEVE. I have the Toshiba Recovery and Applications / Drivers DVD Satellite M40/M45 Series CD, media number TK143/PMAE00300010. I start the computer, insert the disc and shut it down and wait a minute. When I restart the computer and press the F12 key when I see the Toshiba screen and I select boot from CD Drive and press enter. Then the screen goes black and "Starting Windows 98" shows up with other copy. Next I get "Welcome to the Toshiba Recovery Utility" and press F1 for OK to accept license agreement. Next I get "Recovery in process" briefly then the WARNING screen for erasing hard drive and press "C" for continue. Next "Toshiba" screen comes up again then "starting windows 98" again, then "Welcome to recovery utility" again. I press F1 then "C" and it starts all over again. What am I missing?

    Hi, hjbugs, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Disconnecting the drive while your Powerbook was accessing it probably caused your problem. It may be repairable using DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, but if you don't have access to one of those and aren't going to buy one, reformatting the drive with Disk Utility may be the only other way to make it usable again. If it contains data you need to recover first (i.e., data that isn't also stored on your internal HD or other storage media), download the free demo version of one of the data recovery utilities mentioned in this thread and use it to see what is recoverable. If the files you need are recoverable, buy the full version of one of the utilities and recover them.

  • I moved some songs from one computer to another with home sharing and now these songs will not play on iTunes on the second computer.

    What can I do without redownloading the songs, since I don't have access to the first computer right now?

    Does it give a reason for why they won't play, or is that a secret?

  • Help- 5 yr old messed with the settings and now App world will not open....

    My lovely daughter decided to mess with the settings. Not being able to read- she just did a bunch of touching pictures... JOY... now when I go to open App WOrld it tells me "Blackberry App works is not currently available in your country". We are in America, and the other PLaybook in the house still functions as per normal.
    Any ideas what my 5 yr  old pressed????

    If you backed the Playbook up on your PC using the Desktop Manager software, you should be able to easily restore it.
    You can also do a wipe on it, and then re-initilaize it back to its birthday.

  • When I turn on my MacBook pro I get the apple and the spinning thing will not boot up what can I do

    Having trouble getting to boot up

    There are four general causes of this issue:
    1. The computer's PRAM no longer contains a valid startup disk setting when there aren't any problems with the disk itself. This can be checked for by pressing the Option key and seeing if the drive appears.
    2. The internal drive's directory structure has become damaged. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to perform the repair.
    3. Critical system files have been deleted. This requires usage of an alternate bootable system to reinstall them.
    4. The internal drive has died or become unplugged. This is the most likely case if the computer took a sharp impact or there are unusual sounds coming from its location.

  • Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work.

    I finally got my ATI 5770 working with Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work

    I just installed what I thought was Directx 11.  The latest file update I downloaded is only 9. dxwebsetup.exe from Microsofts web.
    I have a Dell XPS 8100.  I was on the phone with AMD/ATI, DELL, and XFX.  Dell said the card was an ATI, and AMD/ATI said that ATI now just makes the chips.  I tried Sapphire ATI 5770 and they didn't work, then I tried a program the took off all the drivers and I got the Dell drivers from the web, thinking that they are on OEM and with the DP Adapter, I finally got the 3rd ATI Eyefinity monitor to work. I tried Cuty of Duty and it worked for a couple of minutes.  I'm not into games, but I like the three monitors for learning software. One monitor is the video training and one is the software and the other is the Internet or an ebook.
    Now Premiere doesn't like anything. I tried going back to one monitor, and different resolutions. I had two monitors working at one time on this computer. I like the Time line monitor window on it's own monitor and the rest of Premiere on the left monitor.
    I was reading that Premiere likes 1280 x 900. That is not a mode on the ATI 1280 x 960 or 1280 x 1024.
    Could it be the latest Directx it installed or the fact the Display Port is in the card?

    If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
    It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
    Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

    After some advice, I am new to Apple and looking to purchase either the MacBook Air 13inch with 256GB and 8GB mem or the MacBook Pro 13inch with retina 256Gb and 8GB mem. I am an assistant principal in a primary school and also studying my masters at university. I don't play computer games and I don't watch movies. I do store photos and videos of my kids and music on iTunes. I also like browsing the net with numerous windows open, check email etc. I am really wanting long battery life as I do a lot of my work on the couch - not close to a PowerPoint. Would the air do the trick or will it soon be outdated as Apple move towards retina display? Both air and pro seem very thin  - almost the same? And not much difference in weight either so both very portable which is also a necessary requirement. Just can't help dreaming about that 12 hour claimed battery life. Any helpful advice/opinions, very much appreciated. Thanks

    It's not likely that you'll get 12 hours in reql life. Those benchmarks are set under very strict controlled conditions. Kind of like mileage per gallon claims on cars. If 16GB of ram is an option at all I'd highly recommend you get that. As far as storage 256GB isn't alot, consider storing some things on an external thunderbolt real

  • Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Raw files from the new Nikon D810 will not open with either Photoshop CS5.1 or Lightroom 4.  When will a real Adobe solution be available to work with Raw (NEF) files in their native format, using CS5.1 and LR4?

    Clarification: this is a user forum; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    The answer to your question as phrased is: never.
    CS5 is history and it is not longer supported.  There will not be any updates or bug fixes for CS5.
    You need to convert the raw NEF files from your D810 to raw DNGs using the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 RC (beta), the first version ever to support that camera..

    My new apps have changed to try within creative cloud; and my installed apps will not authenticate.  I recently canceled one subscription and replaced it with another.  Can you please look at it and correct?

    Solution for Windows 8.1: Locate the C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder.  Log out of Creative Cloud and from Task Manager end task for Creative Cloud.  From the OOBE folder delete ALL files.  Do not delete folders (com.adobe.accc.apps & com.adobe.accc.home).  When complete, restart Creative Cloud and log in with ID and Password.
