Re: How to prevent shutdown when closing Satellite A35-S159 lid?

I just inherited a Toshiba Satellite A35-s159.I am running XP.
When I shut the lid,Windows shuts down.
I would like to keep things on, to be able to recieve updates and downloads.
I don't see anything in the "control panel" to allow me to do this.
In the control panel there is "Toshiba Power Settings" but I don't seem to be able to find a way to change a setting in there to keep everything running with the lid closed.
I see a prong on the screen lid that contacts a switch when it is closed,which then shuts the computer down.
Has anyone take to grinding this prong off? Is that the only solution?

Hi there!
I wish I was able to use the "Power Management" in my OS!
In "Control Panel" I have "Power Management"...but when I click on it,I get a message telling me to use the "Toshiba Power Management" which is a seperate icon in the "Control Panel".When I click on the OS "Power Management" I am not able to make any choices,although I can see them as gray ghosts in the background.The choices would seem to be more extensive. The "Toshiba Power Management choices are few and seem rudimentry in comparison.
I am guessing that Toshiba customized the Control Panel to be computer specific for the A35 model?
I am wondering if I have any choice but to disable the lid switch.That may have been Toshiba's idiot proof way of power management at the time.

    Hi Sudhar,
    Please find the process steps for your question : 
    How to prevent MIGO when source inspection lot is rejected
    Go to Q-info record (QI02) for that particular material, vendor and Plant combination.
    1.Use Inspection Type 0130 for source inspection.
    2.Number of days ahead of lot to be created.
    3.Through transaction code QI07 run the manual program to create a lot.This source Inspection may be rejected as in your case.
    4.Control key contains the control on GR in the QM view of MM.
    In the spro>QM>QM in Procurement-->Define Control Key and assign it to MM.
    We can define here under Source Inspection Control that in case of GR for rejection-->GR not allowed.
    This will prevent MIGO if in case Source Inspection Lot is rejected.

  • Firefox on Win 7 64 won't shutdown when closed. how do I fix this?

    On Win 7 64 bit Home Premium version my Firefox won't shutdown when I close it. This started since the upgrade to version 29. It is very annoying to have to go to the task manager and stop the process in there every time I exit Firefox. How to I correct this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but that does not solve the problem.

    From what I have been reading from other posts on this forum, the issue may
    be caused by the clear history settings.
    Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
    Then '''Tools > Options > Privacy'''.
    The button next to '''History''', select '''Use Custom Settings'''.
    At the bottom of the page, turn on '''Clear History When Firefox Closes.'''
    At the far right, press the '''Settings''' button. Turn on ONLY '''Cache''' and
    '''Form And Search History''' leaving the others off.
    This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.

  • How to prevent RDC sessions closing when inactive

    I am using MS Remote Desktop version 8.0.5
    and I have observed that the session automatically closes on my desktop [whether a PC or my iMac] if I should happen to step away from my desk and leave the session being inactive for over about 5 mins or so.
    How can I prevent this or at least prolong the time of inactivity before automaticclosing of session.
    BTW - when I reopen the session on my desktop - the Terminal Services end [Windows Server 2012] is still running where I left it.

  • How to prevent duplicates when syncing

    Whenever I sync anything to my iPad, iPhone I constantly get duplicated. This includes contacts, tasks &amp; notebooks. How can I prevent this from happening?

    If you have an email account that syncs over the air, you can get duplicates when syncing if you have these selections checked to sync with iTunes. Go to the Info Tab in iTunes when the device is connected to your computer and you are ready to sync - and look at what you have checked to sync. Look at Contacts, Calendars,and Other.

    Am I the only that finds the email confirmations annoying when using find my iPhone?
    Is there any way to prevent these emails, or a preference somewhere to turn them off?

    Apple:
         Considering the threads here and on other Internet sites, this is clearly a safety issue.  As a parent who uses this feature on my children's phone - this feature should be optional.  Notifying the bad guy when you are searching for your phone/child is not an option.  Thank you.

  • How to prevent this: When I have an RDP connection to server and it is idle then I come back to it, it looks like I got kicked out but I'm not

    Hi,
    I have this situation: Say that I am RDP to a Windows server 2008 at least.  I noticed that when I have an RDP session and I stopped working (idle) but still logged in, then I come back to it, the RDP session goes away as if I just got kicked out. 
    However, when I logged in again, I'm back to my session.
    I looked at my GPO and I don't have anything set that relates to Terminal Session.
    What is it and how do I fix this so I don't get kicked out?

    Yes, set it to 1.  You do not want to set it to 15 minutes or longer because that will most likely not fix the issue you are seeing.  NAT Firewall timeouts are the most frequent cause of this issue,
    and they are often set to 10-15-20 minutes by default.
    I forget exactly, but I think in practice it will actually be 5 minute intervals when it is set to 1.  The reason I said what I did is I didn't want to tell you it means minutes (which is what it means) and then you test it and realize that it is not
    sending the keep alives at 1 minute intervals.  If I remember correctly you can get lower by setting it to other intervals, for example, setting it to 2 would actually be more frequent than setting it to 1, but because I have noticed it stop working when
    using the other intervals I recommend you set it to 1, which is the default.
    Additionally, the exact behavior of the keep-alive may vary depending on the precise version, service pack, hotfixes that you are running.
    The above is the longer explanation. Again I recommend you enable it and leave it at default of 1 and make sure to restart your server so the change takes effect.

  • How To Prevent Hum When Recording Spoken Voice

    Hi,
    I'm recording some audio files with mostly spoken voice but when listening to playback there is hum.
    I'm using a USB Logitech headset/mic (pretty new, the one with the volume control on the cable). The level is set to half.
    I'm also using Motu Firewire 828 Mark II as part of my studio set-up.
    So in Logic Pro Preferences - Audio I set the device to Logitech Headset, then do my voice over recording which sounds fine balance wise in the head set.
    When I change the device back to Motu 828 in the preferences and play the recording back over my speaker system, there is hum behind the voice.
    Can anybody tell me how to get rid of this hum?
    Any advice will be much appreciated.

    And if you play it back over the headset, there is no hum? What is the resolution of the Logitech? 16 bits 32 kHz? 16/44,1? 16/48?
    Can anybody tell me how to get rid of this hum?
    IF it is in the recording already, yes:
    It is probably a 50 or 60 Hz hum.
    You need to apply strong, narrow eq. Insert a *Channel EQ* and start with finding the base frequency. Pull the filter down and sweep the frequencies between 0 and 200 to find the base hum, then set it up something like this:

  • How to Prevent Workflow when Automatic PO created in 3rd Party Sales

    Hello,
    We have set up a special Sales Document Type for the purpose of 3rd party sales. The item category is TAS, so the Purchase requisition gets created automatically.
    The problem is that when the Sales Order is saved, it starts a Business Workflow and sends an email to our EDI Technical Team.  We want to disable the workflow functionality in this sales document because it is not needed.
    Is there a way to disable ALE for a sales document type?
    Thanks very much!

    Hi,
    Please review the following notes for more information:
    550388     FAQ: Customizing of third-party and individual Pos
    210997     Accnt assignmt categoriesin third-party and indiv.P
    On creating Purchase order for requirement created for a customer sales order stock, if the customer sales order stock is not valuated, this means a Consumption ( GBB ) account is involved here. If the posting is a consumption account, SAP allows the user to decide whether it should be autotmatically or manually entered. Because of this option, system need this account to be set with Field 'Automatic posting only' to ' '.
    With this field  'Automatic posting only' setting to ' ', whether the account can be automatically or manually entered is then controlled by the field status in the PO creation. If you do not want the user to enter the account manually, then this account should be set to display mode in PO.
    If the customer sales order stock is valuated, then in General business process, this would involve a BSX ( material account )
    postings. Normally this is automatically derived during PO creations. No manual enterring is allowed. Thus if it is correct to set this account with field Automatic posting only' setting to 'X' in FI settings.

  • [Solved] preventing standby when closing laptop lid and more.

    To be blunt, I'm on the verge of insanity at this point. I'm no newcomer to Arch, but this has me beat.
    In short I'm not using my asus eepc 1015pem anymore, so I decided to make it a folding machine.
    Everything works as intended except when I close the lid, it automatically goes to sleep and I haven't had any luck finding a solution.
    All in all I have little use for any sort of power management, and things like CPU scaling and such, should obviously not be active.
    So please do let me know where I can find the information I need.
    My arch installation is completely basic and brand new, should that information matter
    Best regards.

    Also, I don't know why you would want to turn frequency scaling off.  If it makes the cpu go full speed, so be it, but if not, it would be nice to not use quite as much power.
    First of all, I want to thank you for the quick reply and secondly mention that this is a very low power device which will be running at full capacity 14/7, thus these think are not needed.
    If it's running at "full capacity" cpu frequency scaling will allow the CPU to run at its top speed. There is no need to remove it. If at any point full speed is not required, even a low-power device will use less power with cpu scaling, and it allows the CPU to rest and cool off a little.
    But hey, it's your box.
    The reason it's important is only due to the doubt that the cpu might somehow be inhibited. If that's not the case, then it doesn't matter obviously.

  • How to prevent rebuffering when listening to iTunes radio ?

    When listening to some iTunes radio stations, iTunes occasionally rebuffers the stream. It's not a matter of my bandwidth, because bandwidthplace.com reports that my connection speed is 2.08 megabits/sec. Is there some way to correct this problem? I'd like to listen to [Dance] [Danceradio 160 kbps] without having the audio interupted by rebuffering.

    Try setting the streaming buffer size in the iTunes Advanced preferences to a higher setting. If that doesn't help, then the problem may be a routing problem between your ISP and the server hosting the stream. If other streams of 160kbps work properly, then the latter is the most probable situation.

    > i like my notebook to only change the display, no more no less
    Then Screen Saver and/or Energy Saver are the things to use.

    Plug in an external keyboard, mouse and monitor and it will do exactly that.
