Powering up after closing the screen

Ok so this is somewhat of a odd question I know but please hang in there. So I have a rental MPB and well it is generally crappy. I am having some issues with it that are so infuriating that there are times I just want to throw it out the window. So as I said it is a rental and I have been keeping it booted into Windows 7 via bootcamp because I have a better MBP and I like usign that in OSX. Additionally, there are a suite of programs that I need to run on a frequent basis, about 3-7 or more times a week and it is a pain to keep booting into windows and back on my other computer and additionally I am not a huge fan of keeping parallels running all the time and booting that up takes just about as long as an entire reboot. So now the rental MBP is what I think a 2009 model and it has an Intel Core2 Duo 2.26GHz and 2GB RAM and is running a 64-bit OS. I have the setting configured on the MBP in windows 7 enterprise to put the computer to sleep when I close the lid. Now my problem is I am having the hardest time waking the computer sometimes. I regularly cannot get the screen to come on or the computer to wake and am forces into hard shutdown and reboot. How can I avoid this? I need to be closing the lid often and opening it because I am very mobile with the labtop and need to transport it. I know it goes to sleep by the glowing light on the front, but when I open the screen it goes off and the screen just stays black. I cannot get it to show the login screen after sitting and just pressing and and all of the keys on the keyboard. Is there any way to aid in waking this computer, am I experiencing this problem because I am using bootcamp?
P.S. all of the apple software is up todate I have been checking reguraly.

You're probably experiencing the problem because of the defective GPU on the 15" mid-2010 models. While it's a repair that Apple will fix for nothing, since the computer doesn't belong to you I don't see that there's anything you can do about it - complain to the rental company about not having the problem 'fixed' I suppose.

Sorry that I can't give you any real 'tips' about how to solve your problem...

  • MacBook Restarts After Closing The Screen

    I have a new MacBook that I purchased the first of October. It has been running great until recently. About a week ago it started restarting itself after I closed the screen. I can use the laptop with no problem and then close the screen to let it goto sleep. When I reopen the MacBook it will restart the machine. At first I thought there was something with OS. So I installed a new hard drive and reinstalled OS X. The MacBook still restarts after I close the screen. I have installed the new firmware updates that has come thru on software updates. I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks.

    The same is happening here, though only intermittently. I have a MacBook 2.0 purchased in May. The issue just started within the last day or two. I have not tried reinstalling anything or swapping drives, but on the surface, this would appear to possibly be related to the "MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.0" released and applied 11/13. This was said to address "start up and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook computers."

  • Macbook pro not turning on after SMC reset. I have the following problem. Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011does not sleep when closing the screen. smc due loud fan and an X on battery symbol

    Yesterday I noticed that my mbp 2011 dos not sleep when closing the screen cover. Today I Turner my laptop in. However the fan was working loudly and stayed loud. After Start I noticed an X on Battery symbol. Clicking on it, it showed 'no battery.' I found out that a potential solution for this problem was SMC reset. I also noticed that the leds on magsafe was not lightning. Despite this I tried to execute the smc reset as described on apple support site. Switching off, plugin the magsafe connector, pushed the buttons shift + alt+ ctrl + power. Then i pushed the power button, but my mbp is not turning on. I pushed several times on the power button but nothing works. The magsafe is also dark meaning the leds not lightning. Can anyone here help me on this ?

  • Premiere Pro CS 6.exe stays active after closing the program

    I am experiencing a problem with Premiere Pro CS 6.03. When I close the program, the second monitor would not return to desktop (it stays a black screen). The premiere pro cs.exe is active in taskmanager. Only after I end the exe process would the second monitor return to desktop. I am not using any third party hardware, only Adobe player for second monitor out. This problem occurs often, but not every time I use Premiere. I have never experienced this problem in Premiere Pro CS 5.03, which is still installed on the same PC. The technical Spec is: Intel 3930K, 32 GB RAM, GTX 560, Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. I have tried to toggle between different NVidia drivers, but with no effect.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I've had the process stay open after closing the program as well, but only on one of my two machines.  For me, the 6.0.3 update seemed to correct the issue.  Not sure why it's still happening in your case.

  • HT201177 My Macbook pro: After sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then blacks out.  When I close the lid and reopen it the same thing happens.  The screen only does this after waking up from sleeping.  Help, thanks!

    Macbook Pro:
    When I raise the lid after sleeping, the screen comes on momentarily then backs out.  If I close the lid and raise it again, the same thing happens.  It is sometimes necessary to force quit.  Once restarted, there is no problem unless the lid is closed for a short time and the machinge goes to sleep.

  • 'You can post in new year only after closing the previous year

    Hello Experts,
    I am also getting same error while executing depreciation run AFAB ''You can post in new year only after closing the previous year''.
    I found one OSS Note 18800 and it is saying solution as below ...
    At the first depreciation posting in the new fiscal year after a shortened fiscal year, the fiscal year variants must, in all cases, still be entered in asset customizing and in FI customizing for the affected company code. If necessary, all periods for the following fiscal year must be maintained with the variant of the shortened fiscal year.
    Up to 2.2D the following correction must also be installed:
    Please carry out the syntax check only in main program SAPLAFAR.
    But in my case there is no shortended fiscal year.
    Can I apply this OSS note correction instructions ?
    Please suggest me.

    Hi
    I don't think so. Moreover that is applicable till 2.2D.
    Moreover depreciation is to be run for all periods you have not run earlier. Please check upto which period dep run has happened. Thereafter close the fiscal years in order thro AJAB.

  • I have customized my Firefox toolbar. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?

    I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
    It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

    see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
    If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.

  • MissingResourceException when I iterator a collection after closing the PM

    I retrieve a collection, call pm.retrieveAll on it, and then close the PM.
    When I try to iterator over the collection, I get a
    MissingResourceException. I can't figure out why I'm getting the exception,
    if I do a retrieveAll it should retrieve all the fields of all the objects
    in the collection. It's as if there is a rule "Thou shall not iterator over
    a collection after closing the PM". Is this true?

    Monitor m = (Monitor) i.next();
    log.debug("m id = " + m.getId());

    It appears to be a query in which case, yes, a Query result Collection cannot be iterated over.
    The simple way to bypass this is to transfer the results to a non-closing Collection.
    Collection results = (Collection) q.execute ();
    results = new LinkedList (results);
    pm.retrieveAll (results);
    pm.close ();

    iTunes 10.5.3 restarts itself after closing the program. How do I fix this?
    Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

    I've had this problem on my Windows XP for years. it's been around, unsolved, or no solutions in these forums.
    It keeps reminding me why Apple will never be the primary office computer company. Anyone running a business cannot have software running that will not behave, won't shut down, or behaves without any explanation, and this problem has no explanation, or solution that I can find except to use task manager to kill the process and only use iTunes when I'm expecting to shut down or kill the process.

  • Apps Tabs get don't reload after closing the firefox

    I just today tried to use apps tab. I set some links as apps tab and then closed the firefox. When i stared it again the apps tab were not there anymore. However according to this release the apps tab should be retained even after closing the firefox

    Go to about:config (enter it in the address bar), and find '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set it to '''true'''. This will make Firefox ask you each time if you want to save your session to restore the next time you open it, like in 3

  • Depreciation run problem."You can only post in new year after closing the"

    Hi,
    We are implementing Asset accounting to one of our co code.New Assets were created in Jan and when I tried to Post depreciation for Jan, I get an error log that says "You can only post in new year after closing the previous year."
    When i double click on error message.
    Diagnosis
    You want to post in a new fiscal year. However, a posting must have been made in the last period in the previous fiscal year before you can do this.
    Procedure
    Post to the last period in the previous year first.
    So I went ahead and opened the previous year, posted the depreciation, closed the year and tried to post Period 1 again, but still get the same error.
    Why do I need to post the previous period if I just created the assets in this period?
    I Have completed AJRW, AJAB also.
    I think it may be a problem with Table. Please suggest me.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Please check the following :-
    1. Check the Last Closed year in your Asset Accounting.
    2. Check the Last Depreciation Posted in Your Asset Accounting.
    These 2 menus are available in "Data Transfer in Fixed Asset Accounting".
    revert back to me for further actions,
    regards
    N.Kumar

  • Equium A60-692 won't restart after closing the lid

    Most annoying, the only thing I can do is hold the power button to switch off &switch back on again. Is there some combination of keys i should be pressing to bring her back form the brink after closing the lid, or is this a fault?
    Thanks

    Usually when the memory size changes, the system can recover.
    Remove the battery and AC Adapter, then remove one of the Memory Modules, and power up.

  • Asset You can only post in new  year after closing the previous year

    Hi Experts,
    I am getting below error while running the depriciation:
    You can only post in new  year after closing the previous year.
    Message no. AA687
    Diagnosis
    You want to post in a new fiscal year. However, a posting must have been made in the last period in the previous fiscal year before you can do this.
    Procedure
    Post to the last period in the previous year first.
    Note : I closed FY09, even though there were no assets in it at the time.  The first  asset was capitalized on 12/29/09 (clearly in FY10).  I tried closing FY09 again and got the messege  No year-end close is necessary for company code XXXX .
    Could you please any one help me on this.
    Thanks In Adwance
    Regards,
    Saritha.

    Hi Saritha,
    Please check the following settings:                                                                               
    o Is there one ore more years since the last depr. run?                                                                               
    Solution: in this case an entry must be made into the table TABA. 
                      Note 144441  gives a solution to make a "Dummy-entry".                                                                               
    o If there was never a depreciation run, the there must be 000/0000 in
      TABA and T093D.                                                                               
    Solution: please take the report from the note  Note 144441           
                      and put the values  000/0000 in this fields.                                                                               
    o Do you  have a non-calendar fiscal year (e.g. 2009/10)? In this case
        you should have in the field T093D-AFBLG the year 2010.             
        Solution: Correction with note 26073

  • How to Direct control to application's window after closing the popup?

    Hi,
    I am using 10.1.3. In my application I am unable to direct control to application's window after closing the popup, if I open any other window at the same time.
    For more info see the below step:-
    -> Open any popup in my application.
    -> Open any new window (lets say Google.com).
    -> Now restore popup on Google window.
    -> Now close popup
              - control goes to Google window but not the parent application window.
    How to direct control to the parent window?
    Can anybody help me regarding this?
    Thanx...Abhijit

    Hi Abhijit,
    You can do this using Javascript alone. Below are the two sample files I created.
    main.html_
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>Testing popup</title>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function openPopup() {
        window.open("popup.html");
      </script>
    </head>
    <body>
      <a hr_ef="javascript:openPopup()">Open popup</a>
      <input id="something" name="something" type="text" value="something">
    </body>
    </html>
    Note: hr_ef should be href. The code tags are messing with the link.
    popup.html_
    <html>
    <head>
      <title>This is the popup window</title>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      function goToMain() {
        window.opener.something.focus();
      </script>
    </head>
    <body onunload="goToMain()">
      This is the popup window. Close this window to return to main window.
    </body>
    </html>The idea is to call a javascript function in the popup window that tries to focus on an object (eg. InputText) in the main html.
    Although, one point to take note is the naming of html objects by by these ADF UI Components. If you named your form id as "*form1*" and input text id as "*something*", your input text id will end up as "*form1:something*".
    Therefore, you will have to tweak the code above to the following:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function goToMain() {
      window.opener.form1['form1:something'].focus();
    </script>Regards,
    Chan Kelwin
