Media keys won't turn off when computer shuts down

I've been experiencing a problem with the media keys on my P305-S8834 laptop running vista 64. The computer will shut down completely, but the media key lights remain on. They will go off when I start and shut down the computer a couple of times. This problem is recent. Up to about two weeks ago the shutdown was normal. Appreciate any help with this.

Media key problems like that are sometimes solved by resetting the motherboard.
With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for 30 seconds.
Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.

IPod classic won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock; what's up? will it hurt to leave it on all the time?

I bought a new iPod Classic and it won't turn off when plugged into a home theater dock. Is this normal and will it hurt the iPod if i leave it on all the time?

Hi there,
How old is your Classic? Often, after a couple of years, rechargable batteries begin to fail, especially after such a long period of inactivity. This happens with any gadget with this type of battery.
Try leaving it plugged in for 24 hours, and try again, to rule out that it isn't just really low on charge. If this doesn't help, it may be a good time to buy a replacement. New iPod Nanos and Touches will be released this October.
Below, I've linked to an Apple website which explains rechargable batteries, and why yours may not be working.

I hope this helps, and I hope upgrading your device will not feel like an unnecessary expense. Let me know if you have any more questions,

MacBook Pro 15" won't turn on after a shut down.

My MacBook Pro 15" late 2008 mavericks won't turn on after a shut down. Tried SMC reset, plugged and unplugged charger multiple times as well as installing the battery. It has started that after a while I have replaced my old battery with a new one,upgraded to Mavericks and increased my memory to 4GB. In the beginning after I would install every time the battery ,it' would turn on after 8-10 tries. Today it's completely unresponsive . Tested different outlets, with and without battery,nothing worked. I also heard that some other people have this issue once they have updated their operating system from 10.5.8 to Mavericks. Is that the problem.? Has anyone found a solution to this?

IPod won't turn off when plugged into computer! PLZ HLP!

I have an iPod touch 2g, and now whenever I connect it to iTunes, it won't turn off. It will just turn itself back on.

If you are unable to give specifics about the problem or what you need to do, it's going to be rather hard to give you recommendations or alternate suggestions.
As I said, if I recall correctly, the iPod will stay on if it's being charged. But, in case I'm misremembering, are you holding down the button until you see the red arrow that says "Slide to power off"? Have you tried restoring it?

N95 light won't turn off when slide open

I just find this, in rare occasions the backlight won't turn off and auto keylock not fuction(s/w) when the slide is open, but the phone is too shy to do it again after reboot, this is definitely a bug to me. It is a N95-1 with V21.0.016 f/w.

How do i get my hp officejet 4500 g-510-g-m to auto shut off when computer shuts off

how can i get my hp office jet 4500 g-510-g-m to shut off when my computer shuts down. i manually turn it off but some times forget

Hello Caddilacman,
I understand you want to have the printer to shut off when you turn the computer off.
Well I checked out the manual for your printer and I didn't see the option listed there, so I consulted with a printer expert and they explained to me this printer doesn't have that function. So you would have to manually shut it off with power button the way you’re doing it now.
Here is the link for the user guide for the printer to show any other questions that you might have.

USB external HD does not turn off after system shut down

This is not a new issue in Leopard. I had this issue also in Tiger but I never bothered to ask whether there may be a solution to this issue.
I have firewire as well as USB HDs attached to my iMac. If I put my computer to sleep both the firewire and the USB HDs turn themselves off. The HDs come back to live after I reawake the Mac. But if I turn off the iMac then only the firewire HDs turn themselves off. The USB HDs remain turned on.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so that the USB external HDs turn themselves off after system shut down?

Since the issue is not a Leopard issue, and maybe not even a Tiger issue, you might check with the drive manufacturer for some assistance.
Does the drive turn off when you eject it and then pull out the USB plug? That's important.

Toshiba 32RV635D does not power off when computer shuts off

Hello,
I've inherited a Toshiba 32RV635D. I have a linux-based PVR (Mythtv) hooked up to the TV via HDMI, plugged into a Nvidia GT610.
With my previous TV, a cheap Vistron LCD panel, it would go into standby when the PC hibernated, and would power-on when the PC came back on.
This required no configuration from me, it just did it. The Toshiba TV doesn't.
With this Toshiba TV, when the PVR powers down the TV screen goes blank but is actually still on - the power led remains green.
Same with the other way round - if I put the TV in standby and power-up the PVR, the TV doesn't respond and I have to manually bring it out of standby.
I've updated the firmware and this hasn't changed anything, and I also can't find anything related to power management within the TVs menus. I've even tried just pulling the HDMI cable from the back of the TV so it has no physical active inputs, and it still doesn't drop to standby.
The Amazon page for the TV mentions power management features, and from what I understand it should behave in the way I was expecting it to.
I've read a lot about HDMI-CEC, but to use this with my existing kit I would need to buy a USB-CEC adapter, and that seems a bit odd seeing as my previous cheap-as-chips TV just did this...
Also, the various utilities within linux would suggest it thinks its making the right noises - running 'xset q' when the computer is idle tells me that 'Monitor is off' when actually it's not.
Any clues?

Ricklous, it may be helpful if you have a look at the url
http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/Country_Specific/RV635-323742-English-Specific.pdf
if you wish to download the English edition owners manual for your model, I have not read it through, but it may prove helpful to you.
Incidentally, I have the model 32RL900A, and find that a PVR plugged into the SCART socket claims the screen whenever it turns on while the TV is tuned to a FTA (Free To Air) channel, and then "hands back" the screen when it (the PVR) switches off, and this, I found out, is a characteristic of the SCART system.
I don't know if this information is useful to you, but hope it helps.

My Imac won't turn on. Randomly shut down and randomly shuts off

Yesterday night i was working on my imac and left it on for about an hour leaving the desk. When i came back it was shut down and wasn't able to turn it on. This morning i unplugged it and plugged it to another plug and it turned on. After a while it turned of again and wouldn't turn on. I re-changed plugs here and there with random success. I then changed the the ram as i had put 2x2gb instead of the original 1x1gb si i replaced the original one and it turned on. So to make sure it was the ram i re-inserted the 2gb but it wouldn't turn on and to my great disappointment it wouldn't turn on when i re-inserted the 1gb original ram either... Bit lost. Not sure if it has to do with temperature issues?
Please help!!!!

Sounds like either an unseated or bad Ram module.
Try pushing real hard on each module with both thumbs to insure that they are firmly seated in the slots.

IMac won't turn on (has been shutting down abruptly in the past)

Okay, hi everyone.
I've got a second hand iMac G3. It had problems with the hard drive earlier, so that's been replaced...
In the past month and a bit my computer has been abruptly turning off (not completely, the white light of the power button is still on when this happens) with no aparant cause. The screen just goes black like turning of a TV screen and I can't do anything but turn it completely off by holding the power button.
After this happens I would try and turn it back on, almost imedeiatly, but it wouldn't turn on: The power button would light up, and blink just slightly, with a slight tick/beep sound to accompany it. This is only straight afterwards though, if I leave it for a while then boot it up, it will be fine.
A lot of the time this has happened when I've just walked away from the computer without it doing anything, other times it happens right in the middle of doing something..
I haven't followed up the problem due to not knowing what it was at first and lack of time, especially this past month since I've been away overseas.
And now it's the last time it's shut down on me. I tried to start it up again straight afterwards, and of course the power light blinked slightly along with the accompaning sound. Turned it off, tried again a bit later, still didn't work. Now when I try to turn it on I press the power button, it lights up for a second then turns off. So my computer wont turn on, and I don't know what to do.
Hope one of you guys know what the problem is.
I was looking at these threads and someone had a similar problem (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1168792&tstart=0), something about the flyback transformer I think, whatever that is. Does anyhone think this could be the problem??
Another thing. Just days ago I was having problems burning cd's (probably still am), something about error code 0x8002006D and not being able to calibrate enough laser power. I don't know if this has anything to do with it...
Thanx for putting up with me, usually it's my dad but he's asleep sick..

No Kittytom is referring to his having found that his iMac wouldn't boot right side up but would upside down. Further circuit disturbance showed that it was bad soldering on the Flyback transformer that was the problem.
Also common were bad soldering on the HV capacitors in the area of the FT. Or just bad capacitors.
If your iMac had cap problems it would exibit that behavior.
Slow breakdown in the insulation of the FT would also act like that.

3G phone discharges when computer shuts down?

I have a 3G iPhone that is synched with my desktop G5 system. I use the supplied cable that's plugged into the front panel of the G5. When the G5 shuts down for the night the iPhone, which had been charged completely at that time, is about 2/3rds charged in the morning. This doesn't seem right to me. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
Thanks

Hi,
This sounds normal, if you power off the G5 It should not charge USB devices.

Turn off display without shutting down?

I'm downloading a pretty large update (nearly 4GBs @ 190 hours estimated time) to my office computer (a Mac Pro w/ large display) and I would like to shut off the screen display, yet leave the computer on over the weekend. Reason being is that I am the only Mac in the entire building and well...lots of curious, lookie-loos like to salivate over my machine. Usually, I simply Log Out every night.

Grant Bennet-Alder wrote:
4GB should not be taking 190 hours to download. That is about the size of the 10.7 download, and if you get lucky that should be done in an hour.
You can turn off your display whenever you please, with impunity. If you have multiple displays, you may find all your open windows on the "last display standing" when you resume.

Are you referring to a MacBook Pro? I have the tower.
As far as the time to download...I noticed we were having connectivity/transmission issues before I left the office. Not sure why.
So Grant, are you saying that I can put the computer to sleep and it will still download the files? I have to go back into the office tomorrow so I'll check to see if transmission improved.
Thanks all!
