Power down for the day

Hi, when I'm done with my laptop for the day, should I just close it or should I be shutting it down with the power button?

Hi A,
Either way is fine. There is no "correct" way. I used to just let mine sleep all the time, for years. Now I shut it down for security reasons.

    v 3.6.13 - what has become of 'Restore previous session'? I've lost track of many topics in tags I had open when I had to shut down in advance of a power down by the electricity co. for day-long maintenence work in my area. Being able to quickly close all tags, knowing one can recover them later is invaluable.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    Two days ago, I loaded Light Room 6. Today I went back to Light Room 5. LR 6 corrupted an entire folder of images, and caused errors on my Raid 5 causing win 7 to run "Chk Dsk" and fix the errors to the operating system. LR 5 has not shut down for the last 5 hours. LR 6 has a serious bug. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Yesterday I was on tech support, waiting for 3 hours, finally they picked up and informed me there department was closing and someone else would call me on Monday. So, I'm working today and all day Sunday to make up for the down time using LR 6.
    I don't know if the bug exists in the program or the "Creative Cloud.
    Question: Does anyone know why if I bought Light Room 6 [NOT Light Room CC with the monthly rental], I have to enter my serial number if I want to use it?

    Entering the serial number is probably part of the registration process.
    Just out of curiosity, what were you doing on LR6 when the folder of images became corrupted?

  • Itunes support deauthorized myaccount and ignores all emails for 5 days. 6 emails have gone unanswered except for automated responses. Does ITunes support exist anymore? Calls to apple support tell me they can only chat with ITunes which is down for 4 day

    My ITunes account had an unauthorized charge. I changed my password and notified ITunes support. They disabled the account, told me to chnge the password and then they would re enable the account. I emailed back that the password was changed, they have not answered or re enabled the account. I have emailed the non-existent person who disabled the account and ITunes support 5 times but the only response has been an automated one. Calls to Apple support only and I was told the ITunes chat for them has been down for 4 days. No answers and no way to get a human respond and no way to get the ITunes account turned back on. Does anybody actually work at ITunes support? Is there anyway to get a human on the phone or chat directly at ITunes support to re enable the account? I am totally fed up with this complete lack of support or response.

    Find another app to make an inexpensive purchase from.  I know there's stuff for like 99 cents.
    If you can make that purchase, but not one with Blood Brothers, then what does that tell you?

  • When I connect my MacBook Air to iPads through a powered USB hub the power cord for the hub explodes and trips the fuse on the building. I've tried different iPads, cords, power points to no avail.

    When I connect my mac air to some iPads through a powered USB hub for VPP/Configurator, the power point for the hub blows out (tripping the fuse in the building). I've tried different iPads, cords, power points and of course hubs. Also the computer has a habit of shutting down when any type of USB device is removed from it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've done some experimenting, and this is what I've found out:
    1) The problem persists when I reformatted the USB HDD devices to ExFAT, so the problem apparently wasn't due to NTFS for Mac OS X by Paragon.
    2) The problem persists even when BackBlaze is paused, so I don't think that it's due to BackBlaze.
    3) The internet cuts out as soon as data begins transferring either to or from a USB HDD device and won't reconnected until I eject and unplug the device.
    4) The problem affects data transfers through either USB port.

  • If my computer is not fully charged but i'm shutting it down for the night, is it better to leave it plugged in or to unplug it?

    If my computer is not fully charged but i'm shutting it down for the night, is it better to leave it plugged in or to unplug it?

    Your computer will not overcharge, even when off. If the battery is sufficiently low, it will top off the battery and stop charging. By morning, the light will be green because it is done charging.
    There is no need to disconnect the power when you shut it off. The SMC microcontroller will continue to supervise charging the battery, even when the main processor is shut down.

  • When setting the split-days to "every 15 minutes," the week and comparison views show incorrect time ranges for the day

    When I change the "split-days" interval time, under Options > Settings, to
    15, or every 15 minutes, the week and comparison views don't show the correct
    time range for the day.
    <P>
    For example, if I click View to display the calendar and then click Week to get
    a weekly view, the time range displayed is from 6:00 a.m.
    to 4:00 p.m. If I click Comparison to get a
    comparison view, the time range displayed is from 12 p.m.
    to 6:45 p.m.
    <P>
    In this example, should both of these views show the same time range, from
    9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.?
    No, the two views will not necessarily show the same time range. The time
    range for the comparison view will start at the beginning prefs time only
    if you have something scheduled (on any day of the week) starting at that
    time. For example, on one of the days during your week of comparison, if you
    create an event that starts at 9:00 a.m. and then open the comparison view, the
    time range displayed will start with 9:00 a.m.
    <P>
    Additionally, view times will expand past the configured settings if events
    span past the time range. That is, if you have an event that spans from
    5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., the event will be reflected in the view, even though
    your time range may be set to go only to 6:00 p.m.

    Umm yes.
    The settings are stored in ''prefs.js'', so you could swap various copies of this file in and out.
    However, the system will load ''prefs.js'', then, if present, ''user.js'' , so you can set up just your changes in ''user.js'' .
    The sort of line you need to look for is like this:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    You'll need to do some research to identify which of your accounts is which.
    Search for the account's email address:
    <code>user_pref("mail.identity.id10.useremail", "xenos&#64;example.com");</code>
    Use the id number to locate the account number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.identities", "id10");</code>
    Use the account number to find the server number:
    <code>user_pref("mail.account.account29.server", "server14");</code>
    Finally, you can then use the server number find the account's time setting:
    <code>user_pref("mail.server.server14.check_time", 10);</code>
    This last entry may not exist, if you have never changed the setting from the default 10 minutes.
    Do be careful with your typing and copy/pasting; if the file fails the syntax parser it will silently fail.
    And make sure Thunderbird is shut down when you do the swap. If it's open, it may overwrite changes, and in any case, it only reads the settings file when it starts up.

  • I can't RDP my VM anymore suddently after shutting it down for one day

    I can't RDP my machine suddenly after shutting it down for one day. can anyone help please ?
    If it's this reliable we don't need it but we will make this decision later. we prepared this machine for demo today spending one week on it and today when we need it, its not working. typical microsoft product.

    Hi,
    Which region is that VM in? In addition, what error messaga have you recieved when you connected into the VM?
    Firstly, I recommend you to check the quick glance of the VM to make sure that all the parameters are displaying. If not, please restart it to see if the issue persists.
    In addition, you can refer to the article below for troubleshooting:

  • Ultra 10 down for the count

    I mistakenly switched off my Ultra 10 as it was starting the boot process. Now it won't boot, even respond to Stop-A, or anything else. Just a blank screen after the keyboard is acknowledged. No OpenBoot, anything.
    Any ideas?
    U10 w/ Solaris 10
    Peter
    It is now running after being without power most of the day.
    Thanks.

    Hello Peter,
    <b>ultra 10 remote access</b>
    did you obtain the USB-Serial adapter for your notebook or have another system with a serial port available?
    I would suggest that you attach to the serial port of the Ultra 10 and review the output.
    <i>Just a blank screen after the keyboard is acknowledged</i>
    Maybe the system is running full-diagnostics. Check if the keyboard is properly attached.
    If a serial console ist still not available, use the <b>Power-On Self Test (POST) / Keyboard LEDs</b> from the following document.

  • How do I choose which items appear when I open my Imac for the day?

    How do I choose which items appear on the screen when I open my Imac (intel) for the day, after shutting down the night before? Thank you. ArmandL

    There are two ways. Mt Lion and Lion have a feature that launches all programs that were running when you logged out or shut down. You can toggle this feature on and off when you shutdown/log out. Or you can set up login items in your user settings which will automatically launch any program you set there. To do this launch System Preferences, select Users and Groups and click on the Login Items but near the top part of the dialog. Click on the + button to add programs you want to be launched when you login or start up the computer.
