Satellite A120-151: How can I stop it shutting down automatically?

This may sound a bit daft, but I like to leave my A120-151 on overnight for large downloads, but in the morning it's shut itself down (I think it's hibernate mode) normally about an hour after I've gone to bed judging by how much has downloaded.
I've adjusted the power settings, but nothing seems to work.
Any advice on what settings need to be adjusted would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
how did you adjust your powersaver settings and after how many hours the machine shuts down itself? Would be interesting to know maybe you missed something to adjust or activate.
Are you sure youve activated the profile where the settings for "no-shutdown" :) are stored?
You can also try to adjust some powersaver settings (if available) in the HW Settings which can be reached trough the Toshiba console, just have an eye on that tool.
And just another question: When you change some settings in the powersaver are they executed how you configured them. (E.g. turn the display brightness down, time to hibernatiion, etc...)
Would appreciate some feedback

  • How can I stop random shut downs on my MBP?

    15" MacBook Pro - late 2007

    I've been getting random shut downs for several weeks. It basically is like a power failure: straight to black, no warning, no reboot. Sometimes a very short beep/buzz occurs right as it dies. It seems to happen when I'm moving, holding, or have my hands resting on the computer, but not always. I've done the SMC and PRAM resets. I did a clean install of Lion. I just put in a new battery. I'm starting to think that it has to be the motherboard. Any suggestions or ideas?
    Oh, and the error in the console is always the same: "kernel: Previous Shutdown Cause: -2."

    I did not run the extended test, but I did take it into the Apple Store and they could not duplicate the problem. They told me they ran hardware tests on my software as well as their own and it never happened.

  • In Lion, running on an i MAC (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs from automatically starting up when I start my MAC?

    In Lion, running on an I MAC, (late 2006), how can I stop certain programs (iTunes, Word) from automatically starting up when I start the computer?

    Any application that is open when you shut down will re-open when you restart unless you deselect this when shutting down/restarting:
    Also check System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login items tab and make sure there's nothing listed there that you don't want launched.

  • How can I stop Yahoo mail from automatically loading my user id and password when I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox?

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords]. Moreover, your Firefox version (3.6.18) is outdated. Go to Help < Check for Updates.

  • How can I stop iPhoto from launching automatically

    Whenever I start up my Mac, iPhoto launches automatically. How can I prevent this to happen?

    Depends - if you have any FAT formatted device attached to your Mac then you must either disconnect it or in the iPhoto preferences set action when a camera is connected to do nothing
    If you have told the system to launch iPhoto on start up then you need to now tell it not to (right click on the iPhoto icon in the Dock and see if that is checked)
    There also is a place to set start up items in system preferences

  • In OS 10.7.5, after quitting on shutdown, how can I stop Firefox 23 from automatically opening on restart?

    Before I shut down my computer, I quit all my open applications. This makes startup cleaner. But now, upon startup, Firefox 23 automatically opens...not Safari, not Mail, just new Firefox 23. This would seem to be the new default. Can I stop this behavior?

  • How can I stop Adobe Photo down loader from making a backup file for every photo I download?

    I use Adobe Elements for post shooting photo image processing.  Everytime I sownload a day;s photography the software saves not only my original photo file but adds a back up file.  thus I am storing twice as many photographs as I alredy have the original .  How do I stop this.

  • How can I stop .jpg files from automatically being moved off my desktop to my user's Pictures folder?

    When I put a picture file on my desktop (like a screenshot I want to email away), it is automatically whisked off into my user's Pictures folder.
    How do I stop that annoying, unsolicited behaviour?
    thx,

    The only 3d party apps are Hazel...
    And that's your problem!
    From the Hazel site's description:
    Hazel watches whatever folders you tell it to, automatically organizing your files according to the rules you create.
    Hazel, is a prefPane so you must have some rule (or it supplied the rule as a default) to put pictures (jpg's) from your Desktop (folder) into your Pictures folder.
    Open your System Preferences and Hazel in there and either turn off Hazel or change or delete the appropriate rule covering this situation.

  • How can I stop Firefox from loading automatically when I startup my computer?

    A while ago I setup Windows so Outlook and Firefox opened automatically when I log on. Now I want to stop FF from opening automatically. I have gone into the Startup folder and removed the shortcut to FF several times but it keeps coming back. I changed the name of Mozilla Firefox in the Windows Programs Directory to xxMozilla Firefox and that didn't keep it from loading. If necessary, I will remove FF from my computer altogether but I would rather not do that.

    Aaarg! I tried Matt's suggestion of using msconfig, restarted my computer, and it seemed to solve the problem. Today when I turned on the computer it hung up before loading Windows. I had to use the F12 button to get it to load. I did and it did and Firefox did not load.
    Now, this evening, I turned on the computer, the startup procedure was normal, and there's Firefox fired up and ready to go!

  • How can I stop apps from opening automatically on start-up?

    I liked Snow Leopard better.  When I quit, all the apps went away, and the new start-up was clean.
    Lion forces me to wait for each app to open, unless I took the trouble to close it before shut down.
    I turned Settings > General > Restore... off, but it doesn't help.

    IF you want it (Resume) off system wide, there  are a couple of tweaks possible; here is one I have been using successfully since August:
    Go to (now hidden) User Library (hold down Option key while going to "Go" in menu bar. Once Library is open, scroll down to Saved Application State folder. Open folder and trash all contents. Do a get info (Command + I keys), unlock lock at bottom of window, input admin password, scroll up and tick the "locked" option. Lock the lock at the bottom and you're done. With the folder locked, nothing can be written to it.....
    I still make it a practice though to properly quit all applications. Since I've never worked with Windows, I've always been used to Cmd+Q any app I'm done with instead of just closing the window as it is practice in Windows. I do that because it has always been Mac OS behavior to open up automatically whatever window that was open when you shut down or restarted.
