Power Button - Modify Behaviour

I'm sure this must have been asked before but I've done a search and can't find any answers.
My phone power button gets bumped when it's in my pocket many times every day.  I hear it tapping away.  I can enable the double tap to start function which works fine.  
I would also like to modify the behaviour of the power button so that pressing it does not turn the screen on.  Can I modify the power button behaviour?  I would like it to only be used to turn the phone off.

You can't do that.

  • Power button behaviour

    By default, when pressing the power button on my mac, OSX pops up a dialog asking me what I want to do (Shutdown, sleep, restart): is there a way to change this behaviour so that pressing the power button has the same effect as selecting sleep?
    Likewise, and more importantly, I have a keyboard with a suspend button that when pressed pops up the same "shutdown, sleep, restart" menu. I'd like this button to directly chose sleep, but can't find where I configure this :/

    I fear it too
    I'll check it as soon as I get home (now I'm at work) but I think that the mac mini doesn't support that option, or that it's simply hidden in the pref pane :/
    I fount it should be changeable using a command in the terminal but I don't think it's a good idea...
    The command is
    sudo pmset powerbutton 1
    to turn the power button to sleep button
    sudo pmset powerbutton 0
    to make the power button show the "sleep, restart, shutdown" dialog again

  • IMac power button behaviour

    Having purchased an iMac for my parents and parents-in-laws, I've come across a fundamentally bad (in my opinion) approach to the power button on iMac's. I personally use a MacBook Pro and the light indicator for when the laptop is in sleep mode is a very useful thing and this is greatly missed for the iMac. My parents could come back to the computer after it has put itself into a sleep state (from inactivity of keyboard and mouse) and the computer will look as though it is off. To make matters worse, if the power button is pressed in this state, the computer doesn't wake from sleep - instead a key needs to be pressed or the mouse clicked... so my million dollar question / suggestion is why not have the power button able to wake the computer from the sleep state induced from inactivity? In my mind this would make logical sense - or is this sleep state different to the Sleep state accessed from the Apple menu?

    From further tests, I think there is a difference between the sleep state that is activated from keyboard and mouse inactivity.
    If you activate the sleep state using "Apple -> Sleep" then you can use the Power button to wake it up.
    However, if you leave the keyboard and mouse inactive for your set time to enter Sleep, the power button alone cannot wake the computer... and I think this is because this sleep has set the display to sleep and the computer to sleep... for me, this is strange logic and could be solved if the display sleep time could be set to "never".
    Telling my parents to press the space-bar before pressing the power button everytime to turn on the computer seems against the simple approach that I thought Apple stood for. This problem all comes about because the iMac in sleep mode looks exactly the same as when it's off.

  • After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans at full speed.

    After reading and resetting everything with Keyboard I still get blank white screen on 2nd? page of boot. The only way I can boot to Mavericks is unplug power cord, push and hold power button while plugging power cord in. Fans run at full speed, machine boots then runs normal except the dvdrw will not . The mid 2011 IMAC had the same problem with LION. I changed hard drives, formatted, and installed a clean install of latest os x mavericks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Use the uninstaller provided with the Sophos software. You can uninstall CUDA via the preference pane. Be sure you remove the com.nvidia.CUDA extension which is located in the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder. Not sure if Fan Control has an uninstaller so you will have to do it manually:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper
        2. AppDelete
        3. Automaton
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller
      10. Spring Cleaning
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.
    Be sure to remove your two Login Items. Finally do this:
    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

  • Power Mac G4 power button activates sleep instead of shut down.

    I am setting up my G4 as a 'backup' machine for a macbook pro. The G4 will not have a monitor attached, so I will not have access to the normal 'Apple>Shut Down' menu or key commands.
    The power button on the G4 powers up the machine just fine, but pushing the power button to turn the machine off seems to put the system to sleep (including the monitor) but doesn't shut anything off.
    Any ideas as to what could be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: Host <to clarify Title>

    Hi, Ryan -
    If you are using an Apple Pro keyboard on that machine, there is a set of keystrokes which may allow you to shut it down 'in the blind' (they work with OS 9; not sure about OSX) -
    Press the key combo Option-Eject (Eject is the topmost-rightmost key above the keypad). This should bring up a splash screen displaying buttons for Restart, Sleep, Cancel, and Shutdown. As I recall, the default (heavy-border or blue) button is Shutdown - pressing Return or Enter should engage it.
    Note - not sure if the modifier used with Eject is Option (I think it is) or another one... I don't have a machine available at the moment which has an Apple keyboard on it with which to test.

  • HT201150 How do I configure what the Power Button does?

    How do I configure my power button so hitting it does not automatically put it to sleep?
    Because it is right by the delete key I am hitting it accidentally all the time.  Also my cat is constantly putting my computer to sleep when I am working.  Is there a config file or a hack I can use to force a dialog (Restart/Sleep/Shutdown/Cancel)?

  • Mac OS will not allow me to put my computer to sleep with the power button

    With my old operating system I was able to press the power button one time and it allowed me to transition to a sleep mode after downloading new operating system I am not able to do this function anymore has anyone else had the same problem or is there a known fix for this problem.

    In Mavericks the behaviour changed to turning off the display.
    By holding the power button for approximately 3 seconds the dialog known from previous versions of OS X shows up from where you can put your computer either to sleep, perform a restart or turn it off.

  • Cannot shutdown by pressing power button

    Hi,
    I have SunFire v120 S10 server which doesn't react to pressing the power button. Normally it should send 'powerfail' signal and run 'init 5' to poweroff the machine. I don't know how to debug this problem. Server is running core system packages only, perhabs some daemons/libs are missing?
    Regards
    Tom.

    I have the same problem with a Sun Blade 150. If anyone knows the reason why pressing the power button does not initiate shutdown, please let me know.
    FYI, /etc/inittab has not been modified and still contains the standard powerfail entry.

    Some keys don't work as expected
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Speech.
    Click the Text to Speech tab.
    If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
    Click the Universal Access pane in System Preferences, click the Keyboard tab.
    Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
    In the Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
    If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
    If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
    Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
    Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
    From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
    If the keyboard is connected and detected by Mac OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
    Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working.  If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly.  Use Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.

  • How to configure X220 to ignore power button and only boot via fingerprint reader?

    Hey all, sorry if this has been answered. If it has I haven't seen it.
    Is there a way to set the BIOS to only bot via a successful fingerprint swipe? this seems like such a better way of doing things. I am interested in security, but only so interested that i can swipe a reader instead of hitting a button; putting in a password every time and that is way too much effort for me. But when I swipe an unregistered finger, the computer stays off. When I swipe a registered finger, it turns on. Thats awesome. Now how can I make it so I ONLY can turn it on that way instead of just pressing the power button?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    welcome to the forum!
    short of physically modifying your keyboard, it's not possible.   if for some reason the FPR were to fail or fail to read a configured finger then there would be no way to turn the system on.
    the system is no more or less secure with an enabled or disabled power button.   anyone who really wants your data and actually knows what they're doing doesn't need a working power button to get it.

  • [SOLVED] Power button and laptop lid close rules not followed (KDE)

    I'm using KDE 4.9.1, and the rules I set for the power button and lid close events in the KDE power management settings are not followed.
    Currently, I have the power button press event set to trigger hibernation, and the lid close event set to turn off the display. Instead, the power button causes the laptop to power down immediately, as if the 'poweroff' command was issued. Closing the lid causes the system to suspend to ram.
    This problem seemed to have started when I installed 'laptop-mode-tools' and 'acpid'. The problem persisted even when I uninstalled the said packages from the system. Most solutions on the internet involve adjusting the contents of files in /etc/acpi/, but that directory does not exist on my system. I also tried deleting the power management configuration files in the ~/.kde4/share/config directory, but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Hibernation works if I choose 'hibernate' from the KDE menu.
    Thanks for any help.

    That's not a good solution.
    Changes in systemd default behaviour are reasonable. It guarantees that if your graphical enviroment has no suspend support, it will still suspend when the lid is closed.
    For example, closing the laptop lid at KDM login screen will now suspend the laptop. I remember a topic when someone nearly killed his notebook battery with overheat in that situation (the laptop did not suspend when the lid was closed at kdm screen).
    This change also brings native (non-acpid) suspend support to lighweight desktop enviroments.
    The source of the «double suspend» problem is in acynchronized update of systemd and KDE.
    Updating KDE to 4.9.2 (which will be released in several days) will fix this without editing the config file.
    Make sure you restore the original logind.conf after updating to KDE 4.9.2.

  • HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

    As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

    If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

    Hmm. The problem still may be the RAM - Apple buys the RAM it puts in its machines from third-party vendors (usually Hynix) so it could be a RAM problem.
    There are a couple of things that you can do yourself before taking your machine into an Apple Store or an AASP... download and run an application named Rember that will run a RAM test for you - let it run for a couple of hours or even overnight. If it turns out that your RAM is faulty, Rember will let you know. If it is faulty, then you have a couple of options - replace the RAM yourself or (particularly if you're under warranty still) take the machine to an Apple Store or AASP and have them replace the RAM.
    If Rember finds no fault with the RAM, then you'll need to take it into an Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis on the machine. Three beeps do usually indicate faulty RAM, but if it tests good with Rember you likely have another problem - it could be something as simple as the RAM, somehow, not seated correctly or signs of another hardware problem.
    Run Rember first... call back with results.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
