Solution found for T400 that will not shutdown after coming out of hibernation or sleep mode

I found out by removing the ThinkPad manager driver (not the ThinkPad power manager), this solves the problem when the T400 goes into Hibernation or standby/sleep mode, but does not completely shut down afterwards.
Apparently there's some kind of conflict with Windows power manager version and Lenovo's ThinkPad manager driver. I left the ThinkPad manager utility as is and that seems to work fine with Win7
Hope this helps for those who have the same issue.

Update:
I had my laptop running on the AC adapter all day.
Then I briefly unplugged it for 2 minutes to carry it to the conference room where I plugged it in again.
Later I unplugged it to bring it back to my desk.
As described in my original post, I was then unable to simply shut down my laptop - it did not shut down all the way, and I had to force it to turn off.
I hope someone here can help me with this, it's a real pain in the neck...
Thanks!

Can you help, also when I had Vista installed the 2nd page printed upside down. I have tried to get the patch for this, but cannot find it.
You may need to enable the duplexer hardware as described in the Vista Duplex Printing Troubleshooting Guide. There is also a link there to the patches for Vista back side upside down. When you have the duplexer enabled please post here about the results printing a duplex page. If the back side is upside down the Vista patch can be applied.

Laptop will NOT Shutdown after a hard drive installation

We have been rebuilding a Pismo from scratch basically. The last part was the hard drive which we did yesterday. It too awhile to get the computer to boot up but when it did it worked perfectly - or so we thought. After replacing all the contents of a broken iBook (cloned backup), we used it for a while and things worked fine. Unfortunately, it will not shutdown. Using shutdown ... it closes all the files and then just sits there with the desktop open. Tried several things and it just won't shut off. Any ideas?

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are you talking about the Pismo not shutting down? Or an iBook?
Have you tried forcing a shutdown by holding down the power button for 5-10 seconds? This is how to force an iBook to shut down.
Every time you have to do a forced shutdown instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key as the startup chime is ending. Then click 'Next' at the language screen and choose Utilities > Disk Utility and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on the hard drive.
If it continues to have problems shutting down, you may want to try resetting the PMU.
Good luck.

IPhone 4 calls not working after coming out of an area with no reception

I bought my boyfriend an iPhone and for some reason, everytime he has to use the subway and come out to make a call (with full reception), the call itself will not go through. It also "locks" the phone app so that when he exits it completely and deletes it from the background programs and re-opens it, he still can't make calls. It use to be that he turn off the phone, and turn it back on, and that reset the problem, now that doesn't work. We tried resetting his phone, factory restoring it, factory restoring it to new phone, and nothing so far has worked because as soon as his reception cuts out and he regains reception, the phone has the same problem. Even text messaging won't work, it seems to cut the entire reception.
Unfortunately it's past the 1 year now and the warranty with Apple has expired. I bought this phone as a gift and an outright purchase so, as most of you know, that was expensive! I am extremely upset now that a simple function a phone is suppose to have is working so poorly. I have read that others have been experiencing issues with making phone calls, whether it's outgoing calls being muted, etc. and all Apple tells them is to bring their phone in to an Apple Genius and get a new phone. There seems to be even more issues with making calls every time a new update for the software is release. I work in the cellular business and have tried every form of troubleshooting I know.
If this is a software issue, why has it been going on for so long, and why hasn't apple fixed it in the software patches? Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I really need his phone up and running, we're both phone dependent, both with iPhone 4, and both extremely unhappy.

I don't know the laws in Qatar, but in most countries there's nothing illegal about it, and nothing Apple can do about it unless Carrefour is claiming to be an authorized Apple dealer.
It's difficult to identify the country in which an iPhone was originally sold. A list that purports to list model numbers and countries of release can be found here, but there are no guarantees that the list is accurate. Again, please note that probably will not be able to send the iPhone directly to the service center in another country; most if not all will not accept an out-of-country shipment and will not ship a replacement out of that country.
Otherwise, you'll have to try to negotiate with Carrefour.
Regards.

Solution for 'my mac will not reconnect after sleep'

After lots of trial and errors I found the way around the problem of dropped or very poor wireless connection after you put your mac to sleep.
I have no idea what the problem really is but this procedure has stopped me from throwing my brand new MacBook through the window.
1) Go to System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced
2) Remove any network you have there memorized
3) uncheck option 'Remember any network this computer has joined' (leave the other options also unchecked)
4) press ok and switch AirPort off ... then on (make sure you have 'Show AirPort status in menu bar' checked)
Now the only real change we've made is to stop Mac memorizing our network - but here lies the solution.
Put your MacBook to sleep and than wake it up. It will not connect to the network (none are memorized) but all you have to do is choose your network name from the list on the menu bar. It might ask you for the key but in my case it simply asks for permission to use my KeyChain (memorized WPA2 password).
Once I press 'Allow' .... it works as it should! eureka!
Do not check 'Remember this network' when asked for password.
As long as Mac does not store your network details it reconnects without problems, once you allow it to store these details, re-connection after sleep goes pear-shape.... figure it out Apple!
I hope this might help you (as it most certainly works for me)
best regards
ffar

I've run Keychain utility. I also removed (as suggested in various places) any entries referring to my wireless password in KeyChain and allowed them to be memorized again. It doesn't change a thing.
Please understand me correctly. My Airport does re-establish connection automatically (if network details are stored) but connection is extremely flaky, slow and with frequent dropouts. So the Keychain is not to blame here (I think).
If I establish connection 'semi-manually', as described in my previous post, it is perfect, just as it should be. This would indicate to me that the problem lies not with the Keychain, but in the way OS stores network details.
If I do not allow OS to keep network details - re-connection works.

Error Message For Photos that will not import

I transported photos from an old pc to my imac using a flash memory drive.
Of the 1000 or so photos, there are 2 that are "stuck" -- they never uploaded successfully.
Now, whenever I open iPhoto, it says "2 photos were found in the library that were not imported. Do you want to import them"
- When I say "Yes", they get imporeted as "recovered photos" in a separate album. But the next time I open iPhoto, I still get the same error message.
- When I say "No", I'm told of a location in my users folder where these files are saved. I go there and delete them, but get the same error message the next time I open the program.
Help!
Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?

Macbook pro will not save what I was working on when in sleep mode

Everytime my computer goes into sleep mode or battery dies, it does not remember what I was last working on. It starts all over again

Open a TextEdit window and type something. Quit the application and relaunch it. Does the window open with the text you entered?

Wireless Network Does Not Work After Coming Out of Sleep

I have a WEP connection that does not broadcast. My Airport connects to it fine. When the MacBook comes out of sleep mode, sometimes it cannot connect and does not show the network in the list of available networks (because it doesn't broadcast, but the network is setup so it should show). If I turn off Airport and then immediately turn it back on, it connects right away.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I need to delete and recreate the connection because just bouncing the Airport on the MacBook brings the connection back online... so I don't think there is anything wrong with the connection per se. It doesn't happen every time I come backup from sleep, just often enough that it's something I'd like to see them fix in an update if it's a problem that other people are having too.
As for switching from WEP, I have a many wireless clients in my house including laptops, desktops, printers, console systems, and iPhones/Smart-Phones. They all support WEP, but they don't all support WPA. I'd rather try to keep from buying new network cards or new printers.

Charge for data that will not be used

I wanted to upgrade my phone to an env3 and was told that I would need to pay an extra $20 for data access. I informed the rep that I had no interest in data and have it blocked on my phone. He told me that didn't matter I still had to pay the extra $20 if I wanted the env3.
I think when my contract is up I will either find something different to quit using a cell phone.

The enV3 does not require a $20 data plan. At one point, it was classified as a "3G Multimedia" device, and required a $10 data plan. People have reported on these boards that they have been able to activate 3G MM phones without a data plan by requesting a data plan when they activate it.
I suspect that the rep didn't understand what phone you were talking about, since the enV3 is no longer sold by Verizon. Just get your enV3 and then dial *228 to activate it. If it tries to add a data plan, you'll be connected with a rep automatically and you can explain that you don't want data and request the block.

Lenovo T-400 series thinkpad. Mouse on the laptop does not respond after coming out of hibernation.

I have just received the new T-400 series Laptop. In few days I have observed twice that when the laptop comes out of hibernation the mouse stops responding. On both occasions I was forced to restart it.
Has anyone else experienced the same and most importantly can anyone let me know how to fix it?
Thanks

why did you mark this as an answer? you didn't provide any solution to this. the link you posted clearly states that the keyboard is compatible here:
http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/32427/session/L2F2LzEvdGltZS8xMzU1MjY2Nzk0L3NpZC82VXlYWHZkbA%3D%3D
futhermore logitech themselves state the following:
NOTE: Logitech mice and keyboards are Human Interface Devices (HID). HID drivers are native to modern Windows operating systems, enabling basic functionality without the need for other software. To use enhanced features,
such as programming keys and buttons, additional software may be required. See the product's Support page > Downloads tab for software availability.
the keyboard should work regardless of any additional drivers from logitech. that being said, i have installed all the latest drivers and the keyboard is still unresponsive when it comes back from standby. this is obviously some sort of an OS
problem.

My ipad2 will not connect to my wifi and now i have a download that will not close or allow me to use other apps or shut the ipad off what can I do?

I bought the ipad 2 about a month ago now and have tried to connect my wifi and it says I cannot join my wifi. Now I have two pop ups for downloads that will not allow me to open apps or shut the ipad off. What should I do?

Hi,
For all people struggling with connecting their iPad to their router, constantly getting 'Incorrect Password' even though you have entered the correct one - this may be your solution as it just resolved my issue.
In your router settings online (usually found at 198.168.1.1) change your security from WPA2 or WEP to WPA. For my iPad it for some reason only accepts WPA but now it is running without problems. Let me know if this helps.
Cheers.

Surface Pro Windows 8.1 Will Not Shutdown

Hello All:
I'm having a problem with a Surface Pro that will not shutdown. It says it's shutting down, but it doesn't. I touch the screen after long periods of time after issuing a shutdown & it's waiting to log back in. Restart works as advertised.
Anyone got some tips to troubleshoot this? Thanks for any feedback.

I found it - "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" was turned on. This is a terrible (and not recommended by IT admins) setting to have turned on by default. Does MS even need to mess w/the shutdown buttons/process? First the Office Ribbon, then
the Start button, now this!
People are creatures of habit - keep things the same or @ least allow them to change it back to how they're used to!
Sorry for the rant, but YEESH already!

HT1338 how do I boot a MacBook pro that will not shut down

HOw can I reboot shut don MacBook pro that will not shutdown, please help.....?......

Hi, I'm having similar problem. I just got a Lacie ext drive to back up my photos and vids and now my laptop wont shut down or go to sleep properly. May or may not be related to Lacie. Could just be a coincidence.
I first noticed problem when I closed it to go to sleep and the apple logo kept flashing on and off.
When I opened the laptop the screen was flashing white then black, then white then black. Had to force shut
it down (opt, cmnd,power), had to hold it down a very long time before it responded. However, that didn't keep it shut down. It just started back up again. But at least it wasn't flashing.
Then when i tried to shut it down normally it would shut down, go black for a moment and then the Apple song would play and it would start back up again. It also won't stay asleep. It sleeps for two seconds when put into sleep mode then snaps awake.
strange problem... Very annoying. Next option is to unplug and let battery run out.

What changed in iOS 7 that will not allow me to add audiobook files into a playlist?

In iOS 6 on my phone I could create a playlist and had the option to add audiobook files. This feature is gone in iOS 7. How can I do this without using iTunes to create and manage the playlist? This was a feature I used often in iOS 6 to manage my place in a long audiobook.

After several attempts I cound that you can create a new playlist for audiobook that will NOT show up in your playlist but in your audiobooks sync page as a playlist. I'm not a conspiracists but I think Samsung has bought apple and is trying to tick off their customer base to increase their note sales. Good Marketing Strategy...I'm switching over... adios apple!
