Settings: resets after shut down?

HI
it's been a long time since i bought my macbook. i love it, take care of it, but of course, it's damaged.
However, when i shut down and turn it back on (after some time), my international preferences are reseted: all the input method are reseted to only one, and it's not on the menu bar.

  • Time/date resetting after shutting down.

    I have a 12" 867MHz PowerBook G4 that seems to give me the Time/Date reset error message. The display gives me a December 31st, 1969 date and after a few minutes, it reverts back to the proper time. Any ideas?

    Normally, this would be an issue with the internal PRAM backup battery, but 12-inch PowerBooks don't have one.
    Have you tried to reset your PMU? This article describes how to do it: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449.
    If that doesn't help, others in this forum have linked your issue to a dying battery. Have you noticed any decline in your battery life?

  • "tap to click" resetting after shut down/restart

    I've been having trouble more and more frequently with the "tap to click" option - sometimes when I turn my (2.5 year old) MacBook off at night and restart it the next morning, tap to click will be unchecked and I will have to go reset it in System Preferences. Does anyone know how I can stop it from doing this? It didn't concern me before as much when it was only happening rarely, but it's starting to occur more often now.

    I have the exact same problem. I thought maybe it was a microsoft entourage issue, but it has been happening whether I have entourage or other microsoft apps installed/running or not. Browsing through activity monitor shows nothing that to me would be suspicious. It doesn't seem to matter whether I have any peripherals attached or not. This problem did not occur when I was using 10.4.11.

    There are many ways to do a reset on an iPhone so which one have you been trying that has got you to where you are now?

  • Losing Desktop Items/Documents after shutting down and restarting

    Twice, over the last couple of months after shutting down and restarting my macbook, everything on my desktop gets deleted, and it seems all the settings go back to their original form?
    Anyone have this problem?

    Hi, I had this problem and it was due to setting file vault in the security settings. I removed having that set and then I had to go into system settings, Account and under Login Items, add back items such as mail and things that required passwords that were not coming up on my dock after each time I shut down.
    I hope this is helpful! Better late than never - if you have fixed yours, maybe this will help someone else.

  • Satellite E45t won't start for few hours after shut down

    I have a brand new Satellite E45t-4100. After shutting down, I am not able to start the laptop for few hours. Upon pressing the power button, say after 15 minutes, power button LED lights up but nothing is displayed on the screen. I have disabled the sleep mode from power settings as I was facing the similar situation when trying to wake up the laptop from sleep. Although, when restart is chosen, laptop restarts without any trouble. 
    Please help.

    Hello,
    I have the exact same problem as the OP with an E45t-a4300. Purchased almost a year ago (Oct 30, 2013) from Best Buy. Worked perfectly for about 2 months after purchase and then this problem arose. Started when I'd put the computer to sleep, it wouldn't wake up. The computer would just shut off when I'd go to wake it up. When I'd hit the power button to restart, the fan would briefly spin, power indicator/wifi light turns on, then it shuts down again. I would repeat this cycle- sometimes only a few times, sometimes for almost an hour- before the Toshiba splash screen appeared with the "computer wasn't shut down properly"  and the computer would restart and run the standard diagonostics. However, at first on a cold start or start from hibernation it would start fine but after awhile that stopped, too, and any starting attempt was met by the same non-start/shut down cycle. 
    This went on for about 3 months with me basically rarely shutting down the machine. I searched forums at the time and found nothing regarding this problem. Then one day in mid-March, the start-up problem miraculously disappeard- it fired right up. It started perfectly fine and worked with no problems whatsoever for 6 months, including waking from sleep and hibernation, until about 2 weeks ago. Now the same problem is back- it won't turn on with multiple start attempts and shuts down when you try to wake from sleep or hibernation- showing the "computer wasn't shut down properly" on the splash screen and going through the test process when if finally does start. Also, I'm now unable to enter the BIOS page on start up when pressing F2.  I also have disabled rapid start, etc after the problem began.
    I've owned quite a few laptops over the years (including Toshiba) and work with computer based systems for a living. I REALLY love this laptop a lot (yes, even with 8.1) but this problem is just disheartening. I truly appreciate any help.
    Thanks!!

  • Auto Start up after Shutting down

    I'm new to the Mac and am not sure of this is a normal issue or if there's a setting that I accidentally triggered. On my MacBook Pro when I shut down, it starts up again after shutting down. I'm not selecting restart and am not sure if I updated software and held off on shutting down so I don't know if its that. Is there a setting I have to adjust or is there some issue I have?   Feedback is greatly appreciated.

    HL
    Try resetting the PRAM. Force the machine to shutdown if it won't shutdown. While the machine is turned off with your leftt hand hold down the option+commands keys. Then turn the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger. Wait until you hear the Apple chime twice, release all key and let the machine boot up. Also try starting in the safe mode. Make sure the machine is shutdown then power it on and hold down the shift key until you see the gray Apple screen then release the shift key. let it strat up in safe mode. Then login to your user account and try to shutdown the machine again. See if this helps.

  • After shut down screen light was on

    after shut down my screen doesn't sleep

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
    Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computerwill not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
    Step 2
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
    Step 3
    Select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
    and uncheck both boxes marked
    Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
    Step 4
    Reset the SMC.
    Step 5
    Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 6
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 7
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • Keep rebooting after shut down.

    After upgraded to OS Mavericks from OS Snow Leopard(IOS 10.6.8),my Macbook Pro(2009) rebooting again after shut down! Appreciate if u could solve this problem for me,thanks.

    Hello Thongwl,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'd like you to please try and reset your SMC by following the support article below.

  • Fan going crazy after shut down

    It happened twice in the past two weeks. After shut down, a fan (in the back I believe) spin very very fast, as loud as a vacuum cleaner. The only way to stop it was to unplug my mac pro. It was so strange. I have had issues with fan noise, and the finder crashing. Anyone with an idea: I'm thinking of bringing the mac to the shop.

    No I do not think so, I have the standard configuration: 2x2.8 Ghz with an ATI Radeon 2600.
    Extra are 2x1GB memory from OWC, and 2 SATA Drives.
    I've tried to reset the SMC many times, without noticing much of a difference: I've been monitoring the temperature at the power supply location and the memory bays: PS is around 110, memory around 105-120, depending on the Bay. I am running smcFan Control. I"m running the fans 1/4 faster than the MacPro default (according to smcFan Control preferences.)
    Mea culpa, there's no AC in the room where I work, the Ambient temp has been 70-85.
    Am I overtly concerned? I don't really have the time to bring the Mac to the shop.

  • IdeaPad U430 touch turns itself on after shut down

    Hello,
    My laptop keeps turning itself on.  If it is NOT plugged in, it reboots itself immediately after shutting down (10 seconds).  If I leave it plugged in, it reboots itself overnight, or if I unplug the charger (while it is turned off).
    It is not related to any wake timers (disabled), I even completely reset my computer and wiped all my files - no luck, still occurs.  I tried downloading a new BIOS but it failed to install.  I tried updating other drivers, but most of mine are newer than what is available for download on the support site.
    I ran a system scan and there were no corrupt files, no viruses or malware detected (McAfee, Windows Safety Scanner, and Webroot).
    I think this is a firmware issue.  I disabled AOAC, and still had the issue.  Could it be a hardware issue?  My PlLenovo is about 7 months old.
    Please help!  I'm out of troubleshooting ideas.

    Try resetting the system management controller.
    Many of us rarely shut the Mac off. We just put it to sleep. It is built to run 24/7

  • X240 No Power After Shutting Down Windows

    I'm working on X240 Thinkpad which is not powering-up. After replacing the planar it booted but after shutting down Windows, it won't power-up again. I notcied that it powers on again after reseating all battery including the (CMOS battery), but is dead again once you shutdown windows. BIOS FW is updated and its passing the self test. Pressinng the reset button thru pin hole does not solve the issue. It always need resetting all battery (CMOS battery included). Problem does not occur when the thinkpad is not booted to windows and shutdown via power button only. Thanks in advance. Please note that the planar has been replaced for the 2nd time in the span of around 2 months.

    I've had a similar problem with the laptop before this one. I could tell you to try to take the battery out and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then put the battery back, but that probably won't work. I could tell you to hold down the altcommandp or o and try to reset the ram, but that won't work. Your issue sounds like the power supply and your laptop is most likely dead.
    If you bought it from apple.com you will have to return it and deal with the most incompetent customer service people on the planet. Took them 2 months to get my issue resolved.
    I wish you the best of luck.

  • Fan doesn't turn off after shut down on 15" MBP C2D

    The fan on my 2-day old MBP C2D stays on even after shut down. The speed of the fan even changes. 3 hours after I shut down the fan was still spinning. I pulled the battery and pressed the power button to reset the SMC. As soon as I put the battery back in the fan immediately started spinning again. I didn't even power it on. When I do power it on the fan stops.
    My Macbook Pro is actually noisier when it's off than when it's powered on. Has anyone else encountered this. Hopefully there's an easy fix, I don't want to have to leave it with the Apple Store.

  • MBP won't turn off after shut down

    My MacBook Pro with upgrade to Leopard is staying hot after shut down. I am having to remove the battery to make sure, otherwise I have one red hot laptop when I open up my backpack. Is this another Leopard issue?

    Good morning,
    No, this isn't an issue I experience with Leopard...
    I'd try [Resetting your MacBook Pro System Management Controller (SMC)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319] and see if that solves your issue.

  • Mac mini restarts on its own after shut-down.

    The Mac mini will restart by itself about 10 minutes after shut down. I turned off all the restart options in energy saver. Funning 10.4.8 with the latest firmware instalation.
    Any suggestions how to stop this?

    I have had this problem for a looooong time and I think I finally resolved it. Last weekend I was trying a demo of MacPilot 3 and found Elgato's EyeTV had two items in the Power > Events list. Apparently when you set EyeTV to start up the computer for it's schedule it restarts the computer randomly rather in a reasonable amount of time before the recording begins. Since there were two files, I think 1 was left over from previous EyeTV version and was starting up the computer even though I told EyeTV not to start the computer at a later date. Deleting both files seems to be the solution.
