Shut down and wake up problem
Frustrating problems with my T410i (2518) with Win7 64bit.
First I can't get it shut down propertly, when shuting down from inside windows it starts to shut down but never finish.
It stays with processor fan active and some of the LED's, like WiFi and Batery also the fingerprint reader led is active in green. Only way to shut down is to press and hold the power button, or just take off the batery.
Secondly, and most probably some how related to above, if the PC goes in to Sleep/Hibernate there is no way I can wake it up. Just to shut down like abowe and start from begining.
And more stratnge is that it goes down even if the current power scheme is set to _never_ shut down anything.
I tried to follow old post in the forum regarding similar problems but still the same...
System drivers is ans long as I can updated to latest versions.
The only thing I havent been sucessful with is the patch KB981112 - refused by Windows with the message "Application refused on this PC".
Any one got a hint of how to proceed?
PS
Lenovo support has noting to say, except > "just make sure every thing is updated..."

Did you download the right version of the patch? There is one for x86 and one for x64 os versions. This is the right one you should try: 408196_intl_x64_zip.exe

Boot Problem! Slow start up, shut down and wake from sleep mode.
I have a MBP late 2009. I used it a long time whit Snow Leopard, few month ago i did an upgrade to Mavericks.
To start up it takes 30-40 seconds until appear the apple logo. Then 2 minutes more to start up the sistem.
When I wake the machine from sleep mode it takes 40 seconds to be working.
Shut down 40 seconds.
Even sometime it get frezze using only Safari.
Things I have tried:
Reinstall Snow Leopard (clean install)
Install Mavericks (clean install)
Replace the HD
¿Any idea?
Sorry for mi poor EnglishChepoka,
have you ensured that all of your installed software is compatible with Mavericks?
If you boot into Safe mode, does it still take 40 seconds to awaken from sleeping, or to shut down? (It will take longer to start up in Safe mode because it will perform “sanity checks” on your boot disk.)
If you have a bootable external disk with Mavericks installed, use Startup Manager to boot from the external disk. Does it take just as long to boot, awaken from sleep, and shut down from the external disk as it does from the internal disk? -
Spontaneous shut down and possible kernel problems?
Hi,
So I was using my macbook pro today (running OSX 10.8.2, bought spring 2010) and the screen froze. The screen image changed- it looked like someone ran thier fingers through a wet painting. I force restarted the computer with the power button and about 10 minutes later the computer shut down on it's own with no warning (I was typing and the screen went black.) I attempted to start the computer again by pressing the power button. The computer eventually turned on when I held the power button down. A black grey screen appeared and the computer made a plusing, low toned beeping noise. Since I was in a class, I was not able to determine the frequencey of the beeps (just trying to get it to turn off). I held down the power button and it eventually stopped after about 3 minutes.
I was able to turn on my computer after class and it has been running fine (if a bit slow) for the past hour. I checked the console log and the report for the restart and both cite "kernel panics" (i.e.
Kernel stack memory corruption detected"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-2050.18.24/libkern/stack_protector.c:37).
I've been reading about kernel panics on the support community but I'm not sure what to do next to solve this issue. I had similar problems at the exact same time last week with the screen and shutting off but I attributed the forced shut down to low battery (the computer just turned off and then ran slowly for the rest of the day once I got it plugged in).
Thanks!Try a safe boot, hold the shift key and power up, this will take a little loner than normal, hold the shift till you see the progress bar. See if it works normal, if it does than it is more than likely some 3rd party software.Then restart normal and check your console for panics. That would be your isssue. You can also start holding command R and restoring from utililities. Back up before you do anything.

Rsd? shut down and mouse pointer problems
hello there
So, last week I went to the Carrefour Laval apple store to go check out my macbook because it had shut down 3 times in a row for no reason. The genius checked everthing out, ran some tests, and said everything was a-okay, that I might have simply just xperienced a random, insignificant crash. But, yesterday my computer shut down again as I was surfing the internet. I waited about 1 minute and powered it up again. everything seemed fine. so, about 1 hour ago, im checking my emails, when i go up to the toolbar to select a different website, when my mouse pointer seems to start disappearing on and off constantly. so i close my internet window and this weird loud and quick clicking sound comes from my computer. I open up another safari window, and the sound stops. and this happens over and over again as i open and close safari windows. then 10 minutes later, i am watching a dvd when my computer shuts down again! what is going on? Im so tired of this. i would like to have some advice before i go see the genius again. the thing is i cant reproduce the problem for him, it just happens randomly....
please help me!Hi there I am having the same problem. I've been experiencing it often over the past month. First thing you should do is download the latest updates and make sure the firmware is updated which you can get from apple.ca/support. If that doesn't work then take it into a certified repari center that is authorized by Mac. In Toronto I go to CPUsed, Carbon or MacLibrary for repairs. My macbook is still under warranty so I am going to take it in. I am also going to extend my warranty for three years. These intels are great but it is the first year so expect problems.
Cheers!

i cannot open iphoto- the message I am getting says Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command-
I tries and it doesnt work!!What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

When I try to open iPhoto I get a window dialog that says...
Your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable
Shut down and restart your computer, and then open iPhoto again. If the problem persists, try rebuilding your photo library. To do this, quit iPhoto, and then reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keys pressed. You can also try restoring your photo library from a backup.
I have tried the reopen it while keeping the Option and Command keyes pressed.
No change.
I dee nothing but a blank page,
Any help would be appreciated.
Also hace back ups of all images on cd's. dvds and jump drives.
Any advice is appreciated.Option 1

I am trying to use the trial creative cloud software on a PC windows 8.1 - I've downloaded and removed Photoshop CC 2014 two times - every time I open the file it says there is a problem and it shuts down and closes. I can open indesign and maybe other apps but photoshop no. Any ideas?
I don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great. -
Problems shutting down and starting up
my MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9.3) doesn't shut down when I want it to but goes into a coma periodically.
when I use "Shut Down" every once in a while via Apple menu, the machine doesn't appear to actually shut down. when I open it or got to it the next time, it's in a state of sleep and I can't awaken. when I finally get it to shut down manually and restart, a dialogue saying "you shut down due to a problem" arises next startup. this whole chain is odd to me. I'm a long-time Mac user (IIvx, iMac and iBook) and I don't recall the startup problems but maybe I've just forgotten.
moreover, and related, sometimes when I simply shut the screen to put MacBook Pro to sleep, it won't reawaken. clicking space bar or pushing mouse pad have no effect. so then I have to manually shut down by holding power button, and then restart.
in the old days, we would "zap the PRAM" when there were freezing or startup problems. (I don't even remember how to do that, as my iBook which I had for ten years never gave me these problems). do I zap the PRAM? how? any other ideas?
Thank you!brutus775,
if you boot into Safe mode, does your MacBook Pro still go into periodic comas?
With MacBook Pros, one “zaps the NVRAM” (or “resets the SMC”) instead. -
I have a Macbook Pro. I updated to 10.9.4 an downloaded the trial for Creative Cloud. It downloaded and installed but will not open. I shut down and tried reinstalling. Same problem.
Thanks.I stumbled upon the solution. In addition to downloading Creative Cloud, I needed to go back to the website and download trials for the programs I want to use--Photoshop and Lightroom. Once I did that, I was in business. Would save trouble if that was made clear on the download site.
Thanks -

Problems shutting down and getting 'Error -39 when trying to open my files
After working all evening using my Macbook Pro, I close out all my programs and shut down the computer.
However, the computer refuses to shut down. The screen freezes and just sits there. After about 10 minutes of waiting I eventually hold down the power button to shut the computer off.
When I restart the MacBook Pro and try to open the file I was working on, I get the following error. 'While attempting to access [FILE], the file manager reported an error -39.'
Why does this keep happening?
MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Ram MHz DDR3
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Finale 2010
Logic Studio 9
Yamaha PSR-310 via Midi Interface
nullI don't think you're having an Apple hard disk issue, because your other applications are working without problems.
I believe you are getting the corrupted file(s) (End of file, Error -39) because you are powering off the computer before the application and the computer have completely shut down.
I can't tell you why it is happening, but I suspect that the Finale application is being extremely slow to shut down, and it is leaving the '.mus' file open until it quits.
*Kostby, thanks so much for your reply. I actually work for a software company, so I asked a few people around here and they agree with you. For some reason, the application is taking a very, very long time to quit, and it's causing the computer to keep running instead of shutting down.*
Perhaps some file was corrupted in the old version of the Finale application was carried over with the upgrade? Have you tried reinstalling the application?
*I haven't, but this is a good idea. I will completely remove the program and start over.*
Hardware...
I notice that the keyboard dates from 2006/2007.
*Actually, it's from 1993 (time flies...)*
Is the midi interface Firewire or USB?
USB
Does the midi interface ever cause an error or a 'hang' with or without the keyboard?
*Not that I'm aware of. I haven't used it in awhile, and it's not been connected to the computer in weeks.*
Are there software drivers needed to make the Midi interface work with the Mac.
*No, I simply plugged it in and it worked. No extra software or drivers needed.*
Are the drivers old? (e.g. 10.4.x or 10.5.3)
N/A
Have you tried saving the file to a USB flash drive, rather than a physical hard disk?
*I haven't, but I'll need to save a few tonight if I do a reinstall of Finale.*
Powering off vs suspending vs leaving it run...
Do you get the 'spinning beachball' (spindump) when Finale apparently hangs?
*No spinning beachball. The desktop simply freezes...*
What happens if you leave it on for an hour or overnight after the apparent 'hang'?
*Never done that. Longest I've left it alone during the 'hang' has been about 15 minutes.*
Does the screen ever come back and let you use the computer again?
*After 15 minutes I would hit the power button and force it to shut off. I've never allowed it to go on for this long. I just thought if it didn't come back after 15 minutes it wasn't ever coming back.*
Does the file corruption occur when you suspend the application by closing the lid, rather than shutting it off?
*I've never just closed the lid on my Macbook Pro. I've always either set it to sleep or shut down and waited for it to do so before closing the lid.*
Thanks again for the great suggestions. I will try them all this evening when I get home from work.
Best,

phone 4 just turned itself off, won't turn on again - sleep/wake button hasn't worked for a while - tried charging (even though it was 50% charged when it shut down) and that makes no difference....either via usb to computer and direct to wall socket. Any suggestions...other than heading off to the genius bar tomorrow?
Well, the sleep/wake button is also the power button. If you cannot use it to turn on, then you cannot use it to perform a reset by holding it and the home button together until you see the Apple logo.Those are the only two ways to turn the device on. You can try letting the battery go completely dead and then trying to plug it in. After it has charged for 20-30 minutes, the device may come back on. But, without the sleep/wake button, there is no other way to turn the device on or off.

My Macbook Air wakes up with a blank screen. Why do I have to shut down and start up to wake it up?
I use Mountain Lion on a macbook Air. When it goes to sleep it wakes up with a blank screen, I have to shut down and start up again to wake it up. Can anyone help?
I had a similar thing on an old MacBook Pro where if I closed the lid, then reopened it before the sleep cycle took over, it would have a blank screen. I had to close the lid until the power light pulsed, then it would wake normally.
Any similarities? -
In the evening when I put my mac air to sleep and turn it on in the morning it says it had a problem shutting down and had to restart again, so all my work is gone, and this is happening quite often now and I bought it in January. So shouldn't I use the sleep mode over night is that too long and causes it to crash? Or should I take it to a apple store for them to check it out?
Overnight isn't too long for sleep mode. I do it all of the time with no problem. However, I save everything first so I would not have the "all my work is gone" issue even if there was a problem. I would have it checked out.

1st problem was IMac running slow. Shut down and unplugged several times with no correction. Eventually, shut down, unplug and reboot resulted in wallpaper background eventually coming on screen but no icons. Nothing after that.
Kurt, do you know which exact iMac this is?
Have you blown the dust out lately?
Does it do better if allowed to cool off for a couple of hours?
What do you see if you hold Option or alt key at bootup?
Does it boot from the install disc holding c key at bootup?
Maybe you are looking for
