Sleep Indicator Problem when Powering Down MacBook

When I power down my MacBook Pro and close the laptop, the sleep indicator light comes on. It does not pulse like it does when the machine is asleep, it stays constant. Then when powering the computer back on, the power button is unresponsive and needs to be held for a moment in order to turn the computer back on.
I tried unplugging the computer while I was away from it, and after a couple of hours the sleep indicator was off and the battery was completely drained. After plugging the computer back in, it booted up like normal.
I usually turn the computer on when I get home from work, and turn it off before I leave for work in the morning. So, the computer is usually off for about 10 hours a day. Also, I usually cycle the battery once or twice a week to keep it from dyeing on me. I have owned the computer now for about two years and keep all the software and security packages up to date. If anyone has input, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The LED light comes on only after I close my laptop, it doesn't turn on until the top is closed. I always close the laptop after I turn it off though, I haven't tried leaving it open after turning it off. And I usually give it about a minute or two to completly shutdown before I close it up for awhile. By holding down the power button to turn the computer on, is that considered a forced shutdown?

After use, I shut the screen down and now a red light is flashing where the sleep indicator is, when I open the computer up it asks for a password, but my computer doesn't have a lock on it?

Regarding your new Guest Account.
If it is the Guest User created by Find My Mac, it is advisable that you leave it be in order to maintain the functionality of the Find My Mac system. It is not a typical guest account. A person can't use the account to log into the system. It only permits the user (presumably a thief) to use a crippled version of Safari, in which the thief will reveal his/her location, hopefully to an end result wherein you may be able to recover the stolen computer.
The very nature of this unique guest account is to increase the security of the system, not to degrade it as a typical guest account might do.

Why is my Samsung Gusto vibrating when powered down?

I bought a used Samsung Gusto (SCH-U365) and it turns on just fine. However, when you power it down, it vibrates softly and consistently. I'm assuming that it would drain the battery if left powered down. When the phone is powered on, there is no vibration issue. Any ideas?

Just a thought - do you have a sound set for when the phone powers on or off?
Power - Control whether your phone plays sounds when you turn the
phone on or off.
1. From the Home screen, press the Left Soft Key
Menu ➔ Settings ➔ Sounds ➔ Power.
2. Choose Power On or Power Off to control the sounds.
Does the vibration continue if the phone is plugged in and charging? Or does that not make a difference? The vibration stops when you remove the battery, correct? Does it happen if the phone is using house current (plugged in, no battery)?
I'm puzzled what would cause this...so the questions are to try and narrow down when it happens, so we can maybe figure out WHY it happens!

MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down, MacBook Pro will not charge when Computer is on. Can only charge when shut down

Hi can anyone help me? My MacBook Pro cannot charge at all (keeps showing not charging or not connected) when i am using it. only when i shut it down or let it sleep then wil it begin to charge normally. Does anyone know what to do??

You could always try a SMC reset -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 - but I don't believe that will solve your problem.
If I were you, I would take the machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem. It could be something very simple or it may be something more complex within the power management system.
Good luck,

Fast blinking sleep indicator, computer shuts self down, trouble rebooting

And I've gotten columns of horizontal lines (1" long, 1/8" tall) across the screen that locks system. I also get the kernl panic screen that tells me to reboot. When computer sleeps, it sometimes goes from the slow pulse to a fast blink where I cannot restart the computer without doing a hard-boot. Sometimes, the computer just shuts down.
Help?

Yikes! It sounds like you have several problems. I might suggest you visit a local Apple store and make an appointment with the Mac Genius to have a look at your MacBook. I've never heard of a fast-blinking sleep light when the computer is already turned on. A blinking sleep light may be an indication (at startup) that you have a RAM problem. Have you added or changed the RAM that came with your MacBook?

Computer restarts when powering down Lacie TB HD after updating to 10.10.2

Hello -
I was wondering if anybody else is having an issue with their Lacie or other external Thunderbolt hard drives after updating to 10.10.2?
I noticed this morning after un-mounting my Lacie Thunderbolt external drive and powering it off my iMac's screen flickered a few times and then restarted, if anybody else is having this same issue? If so have you found a fix?
Thanks!

Problem when shutting down

When I always shut Down my Laptop so during shutting down I am getting error message. I am not able to note down the message coz it went out quickly.

Clean that cache before you install any system updates. Your computer will boot slow for the first couple of times until the cache has rebuilt. I usually reboot the computer 3 times right away after I clean the cache. You'll be right back up to speed.

Why when powering down Mac does screen darken & prompts me to power down?

Not sure if you can see this or not - but, when I turn my computer off through the apple menu, the screen is suddenly glassed with a dark film and a gray box comes up in the middle of the screen that reads:
"You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button"
Then I have to press the power button in order to turn the computer off!!! ANY IDEAS????

Yep that's a kernel panic. That's not good. It usually means something is screwy with the hardware. Do you have Techtool if you bought applecare? It can check the hardware of the computer. Either that or start up from your Leopard DVD hardware test by holding down d at startup. If you hold down c at startup with the DVD you can run disk utility to repair permissions or repair the startup drive.
Have you changed the RAM recently? I recommend you reset the PRAM/SMC just to see if it changes anything. Also, repair disk permissions and verify your startup disk in disk utility.
Reset the SMC by shutting down, taking out the battery, and holding down the power button for 5 seconds. Next, put it all back in and hold down command-option-p-r until it chimes twice at startup.

Rezound making a busy signal even when powered down

I have had my Rezound for about a month and have liked it; even traveled across the country with no connection problems. Then got home to the Texas hill country and it started acting up. We don't have very good signal here but even when in Kerrville where there is 3G this happens (but not San Angelo with 4G): my phone will be sitting there by its self and will start having a busy signal. I mess with the volume contol on the side that usually effects the ringer volume and it is now the in-call volume that does change the loudness of the busy signal. I can make a call out and it will temporarily stop the sound, but no one can call me while it is beeping. I went to the Verizon office, they did a factory reset, didn't fix it; they sent me a refurbished phone, trying to set it up today it did the same thing! Is there something going on with the tower that's causing this or the software? This is getting frustrating! Any help or input would really help.

Hi KvM,
I apologize for the delay but I am here to help! You advised that your device randomly has a busy signal. Please clarify, are you on a call when you hear this busy signal? Have you recently downloaded any new applications? I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sequence when powering down router

My router is usually on all the time but when I'm away for some time I power down the router and remove the ADSL cable from the wall socket (ADSL v1.0 if it matters).
I seem to remember reading somewhere that it was better to do one of these before the other as that would help to give a better speed on return. I can't re,

There's no need to do either in reality. If you want to power the hub down there's no need to unplug the ADSL cable. Just turn it off at the wall

Problem when charging my MacBook Pro (mid 2010)

I have my MacBook charging and its showing that it is plugged in but it won't charge more than 96%. It says "Battery is charged". Why is it doing that? I let someone borrow my MacBook Pro charger to use on their MacBook Air...can that be the problem? If so, what should I do?

Hi. Sounds like normal behavior. See the article below for more info.

I have a problem when starting my Macbook. A message saying /Library/StartupItems/Icon has not been started due to not having the right security settings. So far it is not under HD og system folder, nor can't find via terminal. Any good suggestions?

I have tried to delete it via terminal but no luck, have also run a disk permissions repair but no luck.
I still shows when starting the mac or restarting it.
Any of you have a good suggestion of what do??
Just hate when it appears every time I start the Mac

What items do you have in the Startup Items of your System Preference for your present login user? Maybe removing and adding them back in will help?
