Shutting down problem with Satellite A300

Hello,
I have a problem in shutting down my laptop. Whenever I shut it down it looks everything is ok, but as soon as I close the lid it turns automatically on. This is very annoying. Anyone knows the solution? Thank you.

Well it seems that Wake-on-LAN was the problem :)
I also found out that it can be disabled through Network Adapter properties. Just set the "Wake from shutdown" property to off and it worked!

Cooling problems with Satellite A300-1B0: ventilator is not stopping

Hi users,
i m new in Linux and Ubuntu, i installed ubuntu 8.10 last week;
All things are ok, boot menu ok because i have XP, network connection ethernet and wireless, updates ok, packages ok!
just one thing that make me "" it's the cooling ventilator of my laptop, i explain :
it's turned on since i login ubuntu and it will be off only when i log off "shutt down" my laptop, so it's never stopping till
the use of ubuntu, because with xp it's start but if the processor is cold it's stop! and restart and etc.......
So if someone have an idea you're WELCOME !
My laptop configuration :
TOSHIBA satellite A300-1B0
processor: core 2 duo T8100 2.1 Ghz
RAM: 3 Go
SATA hard drive
ethernet Marvell Yukon 88E8040T
Wireless Intel
and i have patched it with the last bios from toshiba site
Date of the bios publcation 07 2008 v3.7

Hi,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A300-19T which comes with a Core 2 Duo T8100, 3Gb of RAM and an ATI Radeon HD 3650 graphics card and guess what? I'm having the same issue!
I have spent a fairly nice amount of time trying to figure out what's going on and I've been suspecting the CPU fan for a long time. I went from enumerating the custom drivers Toshiba is installing the the machine to de-compiling the ACPI table using Intel's tools: NOTHING! (expect the fact that the BIOS isn't really ACPI compliant but much more Microsoft Windows Vista only compliant).
Then I discovered that the GPU (the Radeon HD 3650) may also have a fan attached to it to cool it down, because you know, it can be such a source of heat and that noise under Linux means that the GPU fan is actually spinning all the time, non stop, causing discomfort, a lot of noise and all. To prove this, I made a simple experiment, I went back to Windows Vista and uninstalled the ATI Catalyst driver (you can reinstall them later, they are located in C:\Toshiba folder) and rebooted the machine: I had the fan spinning all the time under Vista just like Linux!
What is causing the issue is the GPU, not the CPU! and it's due to bad GPU power management on Linux since a driver doesn't exist yet. The only way to solve this is by asking Toshiba to release the documentation about the GPU power management and fan control, so that the community can write a driver for it.
Could you please confirm my finding? Which graphics card do you have installed in your laptop?

Ilyes Gouta.

Startup and shut down problems with Nano

I am wondering if there are any preferences or settings I can change to prevent the following annoying problems:
1. The Nano starts up on its own when jostled around in a bag with other items. Sometimes it will actually start playing and shuffling songs via the built-in speaker and drain the battery.
2. The Nano is sometimes difficult to shut down: while holding the shut-off button at the bottom of the wheel, a menu drops down asking if I want to add the current song to "on-the-go." I am then forced to scroll up the menu to choose "cancel" and try to shut down again. Sometimes this irritating occurrence repeats itself over and over. Whatever "on-the-go" is, I would rather disable it than have this keep happening.

The Hold button is on the top of the iPod Nano not on the scroll wheel = iPod Nano 5th Gen. User Manual.

Problems with Satellite A300-1GC XP install - CD not working?

Hi there
I have few looks round in various forums and did not find any answer at all.
I have the A300-1GC Satellite and had (since last night) vista on it. As Vista caused
an awful lot of problems with various programs I decided to get rid of it.
The problem now is - if I stick my XP installation CD it it reads "press any key to start from CD".
Done that and then nothing happens. The CD reading head keeps on moving backwards and forwards
but nothing happens at all. Not even the start of the blue installation screen.
Any ideas where that comes from?
Might the CD-rom also be running in AHCI mode (can a CD drive do that?) and requires drivers?
I tried various XP CDs - neither works. The latest one I had was with SP3 and build in Feb 2009 so fairly recent.
Any clues?
Cheers
Tobimaster

Hi
In your case the issue has nothing to do with SATA mode (AHCI or Compatible mode) but it look like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the inserted Win XP disk
Why? Who knows
Fact is that the CD cannot be read and therefore the installation cannot get on.
Try to copy this disk using another computer and then you could try to use the copied disk on order to install the Win XP.
Just for info: I'm using TDK -R disks (CD and DVD)... I'm very satisfied

Macbook air Shut down problem

Hi everyone,
I used to have the shut down problem with my Macbook air. I have an 11" Later 2011 Macbook air.
The problem did not go away after updating to Mountain lion.
I just realized that although I was closing all programs, I was not ejecting my 3G modem/dongle.
Once I ejected it before commanding it to shut down, it did shut down properly.
I thought I should share it with you. May be there is a program that has not been closed or a devise that has not been unplugged/ejected properly and is restricting the shut down.
It worked for me. Hope it will work for you.
Enjoy your Mac.

My 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". I replaced the power supply, reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM, but the problem continues. Can anyone help me?

My 27" Imac (A1312/EMC2390) keeps shutting down unexpectedly with no warning or "screen of death". So far I reset the SMC, and zapped the PRAM. I even replaced the power supply but the problem continues. My error and system logs seem unhelpful too. Can anyone help me out?

You can get a shutdown like that if the computer gets too hot. Make sure the air intakes on the bottom and the exhaust vent on the top are clean and are not blocked by something in your workspace like papers or the back of the computer being too close to part of the furniture. You need a good six inches (15cm) of clearance between the exhaust slot and other objects or surfaces.
Anti-virus/internet security software, especially the "pay for" kinds, can increase operating temps. So can third-party backup software furnished with many "name-brand" external hard drives.
Fan motors and/or temperature sensors can fail. If you have the original grey disks that shipped with your iMac, find the on that has Apple Hardware Test (AHT) and run it. If you have a failed heat sensor or fan motor, it will detect it with an error code containing "SNS" if it's a bad sensor or "MOT" if its a bad fan motor.

Shut down problem on new macbook pro 13"

Hey,
Just a new convert to mac after ditching my glitchy windows desktop replacement.
Been really enjoying the mac (i've had it for 3 days now). I've experienced a shut down problem where everything would close, like the dock and the bar up the top. What's left is just my background and my mouse which i can still move around. If i press the power button, it brings up the shut down options but if i click shut down, it brings me back to the background again.
The first time, it happened was after i tried opening a macmame.dmg file which was not mounting, and that cause problems with shut down in which i had to force shut down. The 2nd time it happened (which was today), was not as a response to installing anything, or so i would think.
Also, is it 'safe' or normal or better to just leave my laptop on sleep instead of shutting it down? I see a few people doing it and just wondering about the benefits of doing that instead.

I've done that repair disk. So far this shut down thing has only occured twice in 4 days. I've shut the computer down 6-10 times so it's not a reoccuring issue, so hopefully that repair would've resolved anything.
I shall continue to let me mac sleep instead of shutting it down then, seems easier. And good thing to know that theres no viruses... hate working with virus scanners and all other nonsense.
Macmame is just a emulator for some games. It was something I had on windows so just wanted to see whether it worked on mac, I ended up getting it mounted and installed but didnt seem to work as well as on windows so i disabled it.

Iphone usb cable shuts down laptop with error any ideas why

every time i unplug the iphone usb cable it shuts down laptop with an error,i'm running windows7 on laptop and get a blue screen error.

This is a common problem with corrupt USB drivers. Try using a different user account, and make sure that you eject the device properly before removing the iphone cable. I don't know what system your running so I can't link you to any USB drivers, but google is always your friend. If all else fails, un-install itunes, re-install it again, back it up with all your documents to a USB drive, then re-install windows 7. Not pleasent, but possible.

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

Shutting down problems when connected to modem

Hi, my Mac (updated to Tiger 10.4.11) does not shut down properly when it’s connected to my D-Link ADSL modem. But it shuts down fine if it’s not connected to the modem.
These are the symptoms when i try to shut the commuter down when it’s connected to the modem:
Even though the screen has gone black, the yellow light on the modem is still on,
and the caps light on the keyboard is still on. The computer sounds like it’s still on instead of complete silence. Then the computer’s fan starts up and stays on unless I swtich off at the mains. When I switch off at the mains, the next time I turn the computer on there’ll be a notice saying it was restarted after Mac OSX quit unexpectedly!
I used to get around this problem by unplugging the modem before the blue screen came up during the shutting down process, and the computer would shut down fine. But recently this no longer works and the Mac appears to crash and a notice comes up saying I need to hold down the power button to restart the computer.
Occasionally the computer will shut down completely with no lights on the modem, weird noise or fan going, but this is rare.
I know it’s not neccasary to shut down the computer, but I like to switch off all electricals at the mains at night before going to bed. Any help would be appreciated as I’m worryed I may be messing up the computer long term.

I would look in one of the log files to see if there is some error message. The consol log contains mostly start-ups type messages, but some applications write to it nevertheless. The system.log contains messages from applications and other messages written after startup.
Next, I would check to see if there was some disk corruption. See bdaqua's post.
Console
You can use the console application to examine Mac OS log files. The logs will contain information on various system processes.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Console
File > open console log
this will display the startup messages
and
file > open system log
once the system is started, messages will go into the system log

Shut down maintenance with revision codes

Hi guys,
For creation of shut down order, revision is needed, in IMG we can create revison (Revision is created with planning plant number and revision number and start and end of revision dates.) and this number is to be mentioned in order, could you plz tell me what is revision code and where revison code is used.
As per my understanding shut down orders with revison numbers can be used again and again, for easy identification of shut down orders for particular operations are to be carried out at the time of shut down processing, is it correct understanding??? If i am wrong please correct me and give me the entire shut down process with use of rivision code.
Thanks,
Bhanu

Solution for those People having sleep and shut down problem.

Solution for those People having sleep and shut down problem.Go CONTROL PANEL
select RECOVERY
select OPEN SYSTEM RESTORE
then restore your laptop
This process work for me Please comment below if it was helpful toyou

As I said, a weak or dead PRAM battery can reportedly cause odd startup issues. If it has never been changed in six years, that's a really long-lasting battery, even if the iMac was kept on continuously.
They are pretty cheap from the right source, so you may want to try changing it.

Problem with shutting down my P305 Satellite

Good Morning: I just registered as a new forum member. I have a P305-S8842 Toshiba Satellite computer, with a Vista Home Basic operating system, that I got last Fall. I enjoy the computer immensely, and only have one "problem", that of shutting down the computer! I click the Start button in the lower left side of the screen, select the small arrow and when the selections are displayed, click "shut down". The computer reacts normally, goes dark, and seems to routinely shut down. But, within a minute or two, the computer starts up again and the screen lights up as if nothing had happened. ln frustration, I turn off the computer by either disconnecting the power cord, or click the "hard shutdown button" at the top of the keyboard. I've read the "How to Vista Guide" magazine, and note that this type of complaint is frequent, the editor commenting that the Vista shutdown was evidently designed by a "commitee ", and was indeed a "sorry tale" of how to devise a proper shut down system. My situation is not desperate, but I would appreciate any advice or direction as to how to properly shut down my otherwise very compliant and great computer. Thank you in advance. GAB

The default for a Stop error is to automatically restart the computer. Let's fix that so you can see the error message.
Open System Properties (sysdm.cpl). On the Advanced tab, click the Settings button at the bottom under Startup and Recovery. Clear the Automatically restart check box.
On shutdown, look for a message something like this and put it in your reply.
STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Satellite P755 random shut down problems

Hi,
I just bought my laptop couple of months ago and haven't really been using it much since.
So it doesn't have more than 100 working hours.
Couple of weeks ago I started experiencing this strange problem with random shutting down.
There is no rule when it happens, sometimes it shuts down after a minute of working and sometimes it shuts down only after couple of hours. It goes to a full software shut down, but sometimes it goes to hibernation instead.
This happens both when charger is connected and when it's not connected.
So, using my laptop is currently pretty impossible. Also warranty is not an option for me as I bought it abroad.
I read somewhere that a person had a problem with power button and that it "pressed" it self automatically, and one more thing that's happening to me is that sometimes laptop powers itself on only by opening lid and not pressing power button at all.
So, can it be that issue, and if it is what's the best way to fix it?
So, please help with any ideas or if somebody had the same problem before, I would really like to use my laptop and this way it is impossible.
Thanks

I solved the problem, so for anyone who could be experiencing similar problems.
As I thought it was really up to power button. When I took laptop apart and tried the real power button beneath plastic one, it would someone trigger itself only by slightly touching it and not doing a full press (hearing click).
So, I guess that little plastic tip on the real plastic button that was touching it slowly constantly would trigger the button randomly and trigger random shut downs.
Actual solution is that I rasped that little plastic tip from the power button, so it's not touching the real power button anymore. Only thing now is that you need to press power button little deeper to actually turn on laptop (it's more natural now in my opinion).
Anyway, laptop is working now, it worked without stopping for whole three days.
When I talk to other people about this fix, nobody believes that it's fixed with rasp.

Toshiba B55-C5300 sleep/shut down problems

Toshiba B55-C5300 will not shut down with the shut down option and will not sleep when the lid is closed .... The only way I can shut the computer down is to press and hold the power button. The laptop constantly runs now unless I shut it down. I have ran into this problem about a month and some ago and had to do a format to solve the problem. It is back.I am guessing it is from some type of Windows update possibly. Not sure which one though. Any suggestions? I tried to do a bios update but it has a fail in it and was not able to install it from the Toshiba site. I tried to install the newest one. Thank you for any help anyone can provide. I would like to get this resolved so I don't have to continually do a format everytime this problem comes around again. Eva

Maybe this one?

I would like to get this resolved so I don't have to continually do a format everytime this problem comes around again.
I would do another Refresh this time.
Settings > Change PC settings > Update and recovery tab > Recovery tab > Refresh your PC without affecting your files
Disable Automatic Update and install only the Important updates - one-at-a-time. Reboot and check the sleep functions after each one to identify the culprit.
Turn automatic updating on or off
