Monitor no longer powers down after Gnome 2.26 upgrade

As the title says, after upgrading to Gnome 2.26, my monitor no longer powers off after my set 10 minutes. I have fiddled with the power manager settings, but the monitor now just stays on the screensaver forever and won't sleep. Anyone else?

It's possible, but one component doesn't necessarily requires another component of the same version. GDM has been on "2.20" for a long time now and it still works. gnome-power-manager 2.26 has just hit the repositories though.

Iphone 5 has started powering down after upgrade to 7.02, help please.

My iPhone 5 started powering down after the 7.02 upgrade I did almost a week ago (3 times). I realize now that it starts after I see a message notification on the home screen and click on the slider to enter my passcode and reply to the message.
I never get the chance to enter my passcode and the phone turns itself off. The only way I can bring it back is to connect it to my Mac and launch iTunes. Then it reboots itself and behaves normally for 2 days.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows 7 home premium pc keeps powering down after startup.

Windows 7 home premium pc keeps powering down after startup The only thing I have noticed different is the heat sink fan RPMS rev quicker and seem to stay reved for longer periods. The COMPONENTS ARE DUST FREE. Components do not feel warm to the touch. Ventalation Is over done. The pc will no longer run long enough to do a lot of testing. I will be honest I do not know much, so lets change testing to trial and error.

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

HP w1907 monitor no longer wakes up after system was doing some Updates

last night, my computer tried to do some updates, and then when it rebooted, i had an error and it said it needed to do some kind of special recovery during the reboot cycle. the blue window looked like old W95 era. i came back after a few hours, and the computer was on, but the monitor no longer responds. i tried a cold reboot, and the computer boots, keyboard lights on, hard drive spinning, but the monitor remains dark. also, nothing brings it back to life. while i would think this could be a driver that got messed up during the Update process, or even a bad video board, the monitor itself doesn't respond to normal buttons like the menu or select buttons. For example, with the computer "running" (in whatever state it is in, I cannot tell), and the monitor is quiesent, when i push the MENU botton, the light on the top of the monitor goes from orange to blue briefly, then the monitor says "monitor going to sleep", and then the light goes from blue back to orange and nothing else happens. driver? monitor?? i dont have any other DVI equipment at home to do a swap and try things out. anyone have a best guess??

Volume keys don't work anymore after Gnome 2.26 upgrade

I have two pc: a desktop and a laptop. The desktop doesn't have this problem. While on the laptop, a sony vaio fz21s, after the recent gnome 2.26 upgrade, the volume keys don't work. The osd appears on the screen but no change in volume is observed. Through the gnome-volume-applet i set "Principal" as main device. Controlling the volume with the gnome-volume-applet works.

Portege 4000 powers down after 20 mins

My Portege 4000 turns off abruptly after about 20 minutes, sometimes it holds our for 30-40 mins.
It then won't power back on for a few hours.
Here's what I've tried, and it still happens:
-On AC, with and without battery
-With a different (identical) AC apator
-Unplugged running on battery
-Held at BIOS screen (incase it was a Windows issue)
The fan is working, although it doesn't feel very powerful.
And the power LED is flashing an error code (how can I decode this?).
Although I don't really use it very much, I really don't want to junk my little Portege.
Any ideas?

Hi
It sounds like a notebook overheating if the temperature is too high the notebook shuts down to prevent the hardware from damage
But the flashing error code is unusual. In my knowledge the long means 1 and short 0
Then you will get a number like for example this: 0001 0001 because of LSB (least significant bit) you have to read from behind 1000 1000 then convert it in HEX. Thats all

But listen buddy I think you should contact the service technician the guy should check this notebook the fault is a little bit strange

No longer shuts down after recording

I'm using TV anywhere master. I removed it to put on a different computer but it didn't work so I put it back into the original computer. It has Windows XP. Now after recording , it doesn't shut down. I didn't change any settings on the original computer. So I tried reinstalling it and looked for the updated drivers that I knew I had somewhere on my computer. I found what I thought were the correct ones but the problem still remains. Any suggestions?

I wasn't aware that the TV@nywhere Master supported this feature ???

MacBook won't boot after trying to repair with Disk Utility. Cannot boot in Safe Mode. Just powers down after about 5 minutes. Apple Hardware Test says error 4SNS/1/40000001:IG0C-0.265 But I cannot find anything on the net about it. MacBook 4,1 Intel.

Hello Everyone,
I am in dire need of assistance I am hoping someone could provide. I have a MacBook 4,1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor 4GB Ram. It is taking over 10 minutes to boot up past the gray apple screen when I turn it on. First I cleared the PRam (?) then I checked the disk using Disk Utility Verify, and it said the disk needed repairs. So I ran the disk repair and it said it was unable to fix the errors on the HD.
I did a little research and tried booting into the Single User mode, then running /sbin/fsck -fy. It said that it found errors but could not fix them. I ran it two more times as suggested and got the same result each time. I then tried rebooting and now instead of taking 10 minutes to boot up, it takes about 5 minutes on the gray apple screen and then just turns off. I started in Verbose mode to try to troubleshoot the error and it appears the last thing to come across the screen before power down is a message "Apple Yukon 2: RxRingSize <= 1024....etc".
I decided next I would run the Apple Hardware Tester. The test came back with an error code "4SNS/1/40000001:IG0C-0.265". I am very good at searching the web but I could not find any errors that had the IG0C or IGOC or any combination at the end, but plenty of 4SNS/1/40000000(1) errors with different endings. From what I can tell people are saying anything with 4SNS/1/4000000 is a logic board failure, but this computer was literally just booting this morning until I did the /sbin/fsck -fy.
Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

You've a couple of issues .... when Disk Utility tells you it can't repair a drive, if the error is a soft error, like an invalid tree or node, Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro) can handle it. However, if Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro) can't handle it, you can erase and write zero's to the hard drive and restore to it, or you can buy a new hard drive. Sometimes running SMART Utility can provide additional insight into the health of the hard drive.
THe 4SNS error is a sensor error. You could install iStat Pro to see if something is indeed getting too hot or remaining room temp or less. You may need to take it into an Apple shop so they can use their thermal diagnostics to test and isolate it further.

2 new HDDs powering down after 5 minutes??

Hello,
I am new to the mac world. I bought a custom mac pro and i've been working my way around trying to learn leopard. I installed two 750GB Seagate ES hard drives. I've noticed that between 5-10 minutes, the 2 hard drives both power down when not in use even though i'm currently surfing the web or whatever and the first hard drive is acting like normal. Then when i click on the hard drives on the desktop, they power back up again. I'm just wondering is this normal or should i be worried? If its normal, where can i find out where the options are to change when they power down?
Thank you!

There is a also Power Management setting called Disk Sleep Timer that can be found under the Power item in System Profiler. The default setting for Leopard is 180 minutes, but your Mac's default setting may be different. You can access System Profiler under the Apple Menu> About This Mac> More Information.
This setting can be changed by typing the following command in Terminal:
sudo pmset disksleep ?
Replace the ? with the number of minutes you want to set and press <Return>, then when prompted, type in your password. If you use a setting of 0 (zero), the hard disks will never sleep, unless you checked "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver Control Pane.

HT1695 I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little bit of information in the folder that came with it, all I can do is turn it on, but it just powers down after a few seconds. How do I work this thing?

I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on. Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything! Help! What do I do to get this thing going?

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

Application folder slowed down after 10.6.5 upgrade

Hi,
im not too sure whether this software upgrade cause the problem. my application folder slowed down when i am scrolling. it will lag and not as smooth as previously.
any way to resolve this problem. hope to hear from you guys soon. thanks alot: )

Are you referring to the list view in the Applications folder while open in Finder?
Did you take the usual precautions before and repair permissions after the latest software update?
If not, go to Disk Utility and repair permissions first. Restart.
If problem persists, it could be a corrupt preference file; go to Users -> Library -> Preferences and trash this file: com.apple.Finder.plist. Restart and see if the issue is resolved.

Cant shift virtual desktops after gnome 2.28 upgrade

Im using openbox, it wont work with mouse over desktop, and with keybinding.
And submenu on right click on taskbar (move to #desktop) is gone.
I guess system thinks that there is only 1 desktop.
Oh! Why did I update, will I ever learn????

I was a joke ngoonee, about updating.
Here:
(openbox:3273): Openbox-WARNING **: Openbox is configured for 4 desktops, but the current session has 1. Overriding the Openbox configuration.
I have told you its not openbox to blame, but new gnome...
I have tried metacity, and it shows 4 desktops. After that, I did openbox --replace and it also shows 4 desktops.
But when I log out or restart, problem is back.

Slow down after my line was upgraded to ADSL2+

Hi there
a couple months ago BT upgraded our line from ADSL 1 to ADSL2+ now it all sounds good but I have experienced some major slow downs since they have done it and constant calls to CS have just resulted in my line getting tested and then having a different person phone back to give the results but just end up getting another line test done and it is starting to get very annoying.
Before the upgrade I was downloading at around 8.1Mb/s, uploading at 1.1Mb/s and had a ping of around 15. Now it is this.
Is there anything else i could do that could improve my speed?
Thanks for reading my wall of text.

Mac keep shutting down after cancelling Snow Leopard upgrade DVD

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my computer with the Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD. The upgrade failed twice, so I decided to quit it and to restart my computer with hardware, but then, it doesn't run more than 35 sec and then shuts down automatically. I have tried 5 times to restart it, but it shuts down even before I can see my desktop. Ho yes, and I ejected the DVD from it.
...help please! : )
Thank you!

Sounds like you've damaged your system by forcing it to quit and restart in the middle of installing. You probably also had something wrong with your machine that was interfering with the installation in the first place, as the Snow Leopard installer is ordinarily pretty good at failing without damaging anything if something causes it to fail.
I would advise [repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417]. If that fails, you'll need to erase and repartition the hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard from scratch. If repair works, but you still can't boot, you probably have corruption in important system files. You could try installing Snow Leopard over it at this point, while booted from the Snow Leopard disk. If repair shows no problems, post back here, as you've got something a little more exotic than simple hard disk damage going on.
Do you have a backup? If not, it's possible all your data might be gone at this point, depending on what exactly has gone wrong with your computer. You can try to back up from Disk Utility running from the Mac OS X install disk... see the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to which to copy.
