Power saving features do not work

I use the better performance when plugged in and normal when unplugged. Shouldn't the dispaly change from max to a lower setting when i unplug the power cable etc. Also i leave the keyboard brightness to full but at times it drops to a lower setting etc. It shoud either be full or off depenind on the light in the room.

Richard,
Open Energy Saver preferences. While there, unplug the power connector from the MBP? Does the display dim a little bit? If not, toggle the Optimization to one of the other settings then back to Normal like you want. Did the display dim? Now plug the power back in. Did it work as expected?
As for the keyboard, if you want it to remain off in low light conditions, uncheck the Illuminuate keyboard in low light conditions option. You could look at the keyboard brightness keys as setting a max brightness. The keyboard brightness will still fluctuate based on the light level in the room but will only get as bright as the setting you put in.
Did I make that clear as mud?

  • Printer power saving features activates and deactivates at random

    I have a C8022A all in one 8500 printer which has a built in Power saving feature that is supposed to put the print6er in sleep mode after sevaral minutes of non use and turn on printer when a new print job is sent to it.Duringg the first 4-5 months of use it did that - now it seems sometime to go into sleep mode 4 hours after it stopped being used and coming on at random 2-4 hours later for no apparent reason - talked to 2 techs in India with HP chat support but it was useless, and could not get through to live 800 support - tried 5-6 times.!

  • Help! Built in features/hints not working flash cs6. Need fix ASAP

    Loads of built in features are not working for me in Flash CS6. When I was using CS4 they did, now they aren't. I will give two examples. Say for example I am writing code in the actions window and I type "green_btn." in regards to the name of a button instance, what usually happens when I hit the "." immediately after "green_btn" a menu will pop up showing me every option I can pick, like green_btn.addEventListener() etc etc. There is usually a menu that comes up, but for me there is no menu. I have also created a button symbol, placed an instance of it on the stage, named the instance and tried it again (cs6 is supposed to recognize the "_btn" automatically and make the menu come up even if there is no button created, but I decided to create one just in case), and no menu pops up, still . Something is wrong here, it used to work for me when I had CS4 installed. Another example is if I am in the actions window again, and I type in a function like trace(); for example, you are supposed to be able to put your cursor infront of it, or highlight it and hit F1 and it will take you directly to the help page for that function. This does not happen as well. As I go on and on I seem to keep stumbling across all these built in features for convenience that are not working. And I know 100% that they are supposed to be, I am actually in a class right now for flash and I watch demo videos where it works perfectly. What is going on with mine? I have checked every possible preference and option, I have everything and I mean EVERYTHING up to date with the most current versions. I'm stuck, and I am getting really pissed off to be blunt, I need to fix this ASAP because it is going to affect my studies which are currently ongoing, I have deadlines to  meet and I am dicking around trying to fix this. PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME! Any suggestions and solution will be greatly appreciated on my behalf. If anyone helps me fix this I'll kiss you!!!!!!!!

    I increased the cache from 800 to 5000, is that sufficient?
    The .fla is saved to my harddrive
    still no code hinting. I also unchecked and rechecked the code hinting, and even did a reboot on my comp and still nothing.
    everything is updated, EVERYTHING, to the most current version available. I updated everything possible through the "Adobe Help Manager" and also through the help menu within the programs themselves; Help->Updates. I made slight progress with the help issue, in general settings withing the "Adobe Help Manager" I changed it to display local help only. So now when I initiate help by either right clicking, and then going to "view help" in the pop-up menu, or by hitting "FN+F1" (hp laptop) it brings up the flash_reference.pdf but it does not go directly to the function selected as it's supposed to. So maybe that isn't even progress...
    I watched the demo video for the course I am in, and it shows our instructor put the cursor immediately infront of trace(); (within the actions window) and go to help and it goes directly to the help section on trace, and then he also highlights trace(); and goes to view help and it does the same thing.
    I am also in touch with him (its an online course) to see if he can figure out it, and I am still waiting to hear back from him, but no one seems to know. I even contacted ADOBE today and got passed on to 3 different people only to be given the toll free 800 number because no one knows how to fix it.

  • MSI X79A-GD45 8D overclocking 3930k question about Power Saving Features

    hi guys
    i could do the oc for my 3930k.Now i am on 4.3ghz.Here are the settings i made ;
    i didnt change the cpu multiplier left it on auto.
    EIST and Turbo features are on.I just change the multpliers of the core limits for every core.I made core limit 43 for all cores.
    Also i set the vcore offset feature to %12.5 and it made the voltage under load 1.280 which can hold system stable @ 4.3ghz.
    when cpu is idle multiplier and voltage decreasing and when the cpu is under load voltages and multipliers increase.
    thats what i want.  But;
    i tested the vcore offset as %100 the auto voltage under load increases to max 1.344.If i go for 4.8ghz probably i would need more than 1.344 on this situation what will happen?because i will need more than 1.344 but the auto voltage will give me just 1.344.How can we arrange this?
    then i tried to enter voltage manually but the voltage didnt decrease even all the power saving features on.I haven't change any settings  i mentioned above for the 4.3ghz oc.I just changed the vcore voltage to manuel. Everything stayed the same like decreasing multiplier under idle and increasing multipliers under load except the voltage.It stayed the same as i gave in the bios.
    from here
    I read from somewhere that on msi boards if you put the cpu multipler manually you loose power saving features.Everytime under load or idle cpu will be stay at the same ghz.Is that true?
    if i give the cpu multiplier manuel or vcore voltage can i benefit from the power saving features like  decreasing voltages and multiplier under idle and  and incresing them under load ?
    or when i enter the cpu multiplier and voltage manually ,does the power saving features go away?

    VDroop set to 100% is all you are going to get. 1.344v's should get you about 44-46X on the cores on 'Auto'. The voltage goes down from there with the lower VDroop settings. With CPU V. set to 'Auto', you get power saving, soon as the CPU V. is taken out of 'Auto', you lose it. No, the CPU speed may lower, but the voltage going to it will not.
    VDroop is not a true offset feature like can be found on other brands of boards. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162779.0
    Most folks around the industry recognize 1.350v's as the recommended limit for socket 2011 CPU's, so 1.344v's is fairly close to that anyway.
    So when i set the voltage and the cpu multiplier i loose power saving features right?
    Thanks for the reply

  • Look Up feature is not working properly.

    Look Up feature will not work if another word is selected inside the Look Up display of the first word. The only solution was to the problem is to click on the word "Dictionary" (so that you will be using the Dictionary application instead) and then you will be able to look up for the second word that was originally displayed in the Look Up display.
    It's really annoying this extra step just to look up for a word. That problem did not happen before installation OS X Yosemite update. I hope they fix that problem

  • Windows 8.0 Photo Feature - Collage not Working after Windows 8.1 Upgrade

    Purchased a HP ENVY 23-d160qd TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC  with Windows 8.0 Professional factory installed.  Loved the feature that Windows Photo had that would randomly display an ever changing full screen collage of all the jpeg photos save on the computer.  Not sure how this all happened- how configured.
    When I finally updated to Windows 8.1 Professional a few months ago, this feature was not working or available.
    What am I missing?  Really miss this feature a changing collage of 15 years of my history.

    Ranne,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    I think you can recover the setup.
    One method to try:
    Windows key (opens your Start Screen) > type anywhere Background >
    Select Change Desktop Background
    There you can select:
    First, Navigate to the the folder from which you want to pull the photos you want to see
    Next, place a check mark next to each photo -- or just select "all" to select the group
    Select the duration (time) for each photo to remain on the screen
    Click the Kudos Thumbs-Up!
    It is a nice way to say “Thank You" for the help.
    Although I strive to reflect HP's best practices, I do not work for HP. 
    Kind Regards,
    Dragon-Fur

  • The 'share' feature is not working in iMovie...?

    The 'share' button does absolutely nothing. I went through the same upgrade on my daughters Mac (Mavericks etc), and it works perfectly well on hers. Does this mean I should re-install iMovie? If so, how on earth to do I unravell the mystery of achieving that?

    I have the same problem. The 'share' feature is not working in iMovie...?
    I deleted iMovie from the Applications folder and emptied the Trash. But the App Store still shows iMovie as "Installed" so it won't reinstall. What else should I try?
    Why has Apple not issued a fix for the "Share" bug? It means that iMovie 10.0 is unusable. Little by little the quality of Apple products is sliding downhill.

  • Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer.

    Using a Windows 2012 RDS Environment, we have users connecting to a CPD website, and as part of the CPD they need to run a systems checker.  When they run the systems checker they get the following error message: "Adobe Flash FAIL:  Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect.  Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer". All users are connecting to this environment with Windows CE Clients,I have checked the setting on Adobe Flash and they seem correct but as each user has its own profile on the RDS session, is there something that I should be setting for each user. I have added the website to the trusted sites and it has made no difference.   Any ideas

    It sounds like what's happening is that Flash Player can't write or read from the local shared objects in the user's redirected home directory because we disallow traversing junctions in the broker process.  This behavior was disabled to address a vulnerability identified in some of John Forshaw's research into the IE broker last year.
    You can enable this behavior by adding the following setting to mms.cfg:
    EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior=1
    That said, you can probably gather from the name of the flag that we don't really recommend this approach, and disable this attack surface by default.  There's some risk that a network attacker could craft content that abuses fundamental issues with how Windows handles Junctions to write to arbitrary locations.
    Unfortunately, there's not a simple or easy workaround that I'm aware of (but it's been ages since I've administered a Windows domain) for this kind of NAS/SAN-backed terminal server environment where Flash is not able to access \Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\ without traversing a junction.

  • Drag and drop feature is not working in Maverick?

    what can i do when the Drag and Drop feature is not working in my I Mac Using Maverick 10.9.4, it will not do it at all i must do copy and paste.
    reading from earlier forums this has been a problem in earlier versions for the mac.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
