MacBook Auto Start with power?

MacBook Pro is starting up whenever there is any power available to it. It doesn't matter is the AC Adapter is plugged in or not.
Plug in the power adapter: it turns on.
Shut down: turns back on
Shut down with no power adapter: turns back on!
Shut down with as little battery as I can possibly have: TURNS BACK ON.
I've looked for the option to turn on after power faliure, I can't find such an option. I've done the Shift-Option-Command and the Option-Command-P-R,  no avail.
Don't know if this has any relation, but my Bluetooth has disapeared as well. Recently installed a new hardrive, do you think perhaps I accidently disconneceted something?

Thank you for all who replied! My question did get answered, and I also found another method...... DVD Studio Pro Thanks again.
Oh, by the way.. I do not see the area where I could put that these answers were helpful (they were).

  • Skype 7.2 doesn't auto-start with Windows

    A week or two ago, Skype stopped auto-starting with Windows.  At the same time, I started appearing as offline to my contacts and cannot message any of my contacts.  I've uninstalled/re-installed Skype but it hasn't fixed my issue.  I suspect this coincided with a Windows Update but I can't be 100% sure of that.  I've searched thru Event Viewer but don't find any Skype errors.  Can anyone offer a suggestion on how I can get Skype working properly again?

  • I plugged IPOD in to sync ( first time in over a year) it auto started with the "Do Not Disconnect", but did not sync.  Now the IPOD is stuck in that mode, won't shut off, won't sync, won't work.  is there a way to reboot it?

    It has already been 6 days from your post, my apology for responding so late, but it is my habit to help only the leftovers, which the other contributors missed.
    Toggle the hold switch make sure there is no red showing.
    To reboot an iPod. (Or RESET in Apple iPod jargon)
    Press Menu and Center button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON , this would not erase any data from your iPod.
    I would advice you to leave the iPod charging for about 4 hours, if it has been discharged for 1 year or more, and also Apple recommends that you charge the iPod at least once a month, to prevent a discharged battery leakage, which may corrrode the circuitry in the iPod.
    Hopefully you don't get the dreaded RED X on the iPod screen.
    Good Luck!

  • Getting Started with Power BI

    Microsoft Power BI helps you stay up to date with the information that matters to you.   With Power BI, dashboards
    help you keep a finger on the pulse of your business.  Your dashboards display
    tiles that you can click to explore further with reports.  Connect to multiple
    datasets to bring all of the relevant data together in one place.
    Want more information on how to get started with Power BI? Read our tutorial here:
    http://support.powerbi.com/knowledgebase/articles/430814-get-started-with-power-bi
    Or
    take a look at our getting started video.

    I haven't started using Power BI yet, but one thing I am finding difficult is getting a definitive list of technology dependencies.  There are now multiple BI components available that use various incarnations of Office / SharePoint and, despite the
    plethora of documentation, it seems to be hard to hard to figure out what bits work together.
    For example I have read both that Office 365 is only a cloud based solution and, elsewhere, that it can be 'on premise'.  If it is on premise, is it the same as Office 2013?
    Does Power Bi work with both?  What version of SHarePoint would the on premise version work with?
    Does anyone know of a single document that presents clearly, which bits work where and with what?

    Tried SMU, PRAM, MMU resets, but nothing helps...

    You need to take it in for service, it may be a stuck key or component failure.

  • How much usable "space" does a MacBook Air start with?

    I am contemplating purshasing a MacBook air and would like to know how much "useable" space it starts with. I know there are two options for storage (128GB and 256GB) but I would like to know how much of that is left after a base installational of Mavericks.
    Also, is there a resource that will tell me how much space common apps will take up? (Numbers, Pages, etc)
    Thank you

  • Auto shutdown with power left in batt

    In the last 2 weeks my Macbook, when using batt power, has just switched off on its own with plenty of power left.There was no warning, it just shut down. It has got gradually better i.e. the first time it occurred with batt at about 90%, after 3 weeks it had improved on its own to about 64%. Could it be overheating? or is it something else.

    I don't think so. The reason is that when you turn your iPod off, it automatically pauses. When you hit the Select button to turn it back on, you still have to hit play.
    I would say the Hold has nothing to do with it, but rather the iPod software itself.
    I hope this helps! (even though I am sure it is not what you hoped).

  • Auto Start, with no theme

    Hello Folks,
    I am new here and found the FCP discussion to be very helpful, so.... here I am.
    I have just updated to iLife 06' and have a question. I don't want a theme whatsoever. I want the DVD to be able to start when it is loaded into the DVD player without having to push menu buttons; Although I have completed the first task of dropping the clip into the auto start area, I do not know how to get rid of the theme. Please help.....
    Thank you in advance, as this is probably a novice question to the talent on this discussion board.

  • Do people auto start with init?

    Hi. I was just wondering whether it is a common practice to auto start an entire stack (e.g. Node Manager, Admin Server(s), Management Server(s)) all via init scripts+chkconfig?
    I have been doing this for Oracle Application Server, now requested to do this for WebLogic Server so that someone can bootup/shutdown/restart the OS without care.
    What do you guys think?

    Hi,
    But general common practice is starting nodemanager as background process. Starting AdminServer and Managed Servers is based on customer's requirement.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Murali.

  • Macbook a1181 starts to power up but switches off

    Starts to power up from either mains supply or battery, but always switches off after anywhere from 10 seconds to a few minutes. Chimes, usually gets as far as screen coming on etc but then you hear the power cut and it just switches off  (sometimes gets as far as login screen). Any ideas? Have tried NVRAM reset SMC etc.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • TS2570 macbook air : start with grey screen... help !!!

    I have a new macbook air (3 months old) and all the sudden when I start it I have a grey screen with a question mark. The relevant Apple support page doesn't take into consideration the fact that you can't put an install disk into a macbook air. Help !

    Thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, I had already tried this online recovery (it also works if you boot holding the option) but the utility program didn't offer me the possibility to repair (when I selected the disk, this option wasn't available. In fact, I couldn't choose any option at all for my disk).
    I had just done the last system update proposed by Apple today. I never had any problem with a mac before and I am really in trouble in my work because of that. How can I try to save the most important files I was working on ? I am in Brazil so there is no Apple store available near my house.
    I also have external hard disk, an imac and a macbook but I don't know if I can use any of them for that...

  • Want my DVDs to auto start with the main menu when inserted into a player

    I used idvd to burn an imovie that I made. I have a main menu theme from idvd on the project but when I insert the dvd into a dvd player or computer, the project automatically starts playing without going to the main menu first. How can I make it so it goes to the main menu first, allowing me the chance to click the button I made on the menu to play the project. THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR ANY HELP!!

    By default, projects created with iDVD will always go to the menu screen first. If it doesn't that usually means you made a change to the iDVD map.
    To check, click on the "Map" button (Three small squares joined by a line at the bottom of the screen).
    Take a look at the far left menu square. If there is anything in this square it will play that square first before going to the menu.
    Click on that left hand square and tap the delete key to remove the auto-play item.
    Hope that helps.
