Mac Pro FireWire does not switch off even when Mac Pro is switched off
Hi,
got my new Mac Pro with 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon last week!
Found out today, that the firewire connection both on the frontside as well on the backside
keeps beeing powered even if the Mac Pro is switched off!
Is this a new features as my old Mac Pro (2x2.0 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) did not have this feature?
If yes, why is this so? For what is it good for?
Thanks for your comments? If you have the same new Mac Pro maybe you can check out and let me know if this feature is also on your Mac Pro seen.
ThommyHi,
called to the apple hotline and got informed that the so called "residual current" is normal at the MAC Pro. Sometimes the USB Ports sometimes the FireWire Ports keep been powered continously even the machine is switched off.
Apple told me further that I can use a connection plug board with a central switch to solve my issue.
I will close now the subject! Thanks veryone for all your help here!

When I press on/off button computer doesn't switch off and reboot. I tried another memory, cpu and PSU, but with the same result. I measured voltage 12V, it falls down for a moment, but then rise again. This doesn't depend of Windows98 or DOS, because I had the same effect without hard disk.
Same problem for me too, but it's somewhat erratic. Sometimes it will shutdown, other times it will 'reboot' (It's not a normal reboot. You can hear the hard drives click into their shutdown state for about 0.25 seconds, then the whole system powers back on again).
I thought it must be to do with some kind of wakeup event, but nothing that I tried seem to change it. I just accept the fact now that when I say 'Shut Down', I have to sit by my computer until it either shuts down, or reboots itself (At which point I press the power button and it shuts off).
Stupid thing :\
I'm using an Enermax 410w PSU - I doubt that's the problem. -
After upgrading to Yosemite my mac doesn't shut off. The off button doesn't work
After upgrading to Yosemite, my mac doesn't shut off. The off button no longer works. I want to shut the thing off.
Jehreth,
On my Macbook Pro you have to hold the power button down a moment till a little window pops up and asks what you would like to do. Also you can go to:
( ) Menu > Shut down ...
to shutdown your Mac. Or are you saying that these options do not work?
Hope that helps,
Weston

Recently updated 5G iPod to 1.2 doesn't switch off
Yesterday I'd updated my 5G 60GB iPod with the new iPod update from iTunes 7. Now, it doesn't switch off anymore, even if I make a hard reset. I also tried restoring it from iTunes and the problem stays. Neither can I get into diagnostic mode.
I'll never make an update so soon anymore. Please, anyone could help me?
Thanks a lot.with that set of symptoms, it's probably worth checking on the possibility from the following document:

Ipod doesn't switch off on its own
Hello,
I have a black Ipod 60GB and it doesn't switch off on its own. I know that the old Ipods will switch off on their own if you are not using it for more than a couple of minutes. So I thought the 5th generation would do that as well but mine doesn't and it's really annoying. Does anyone know if 5th generation Ipod should do that? And if yes, in which part of the menu can I set that option?
Thanks.
AlexandraHello, Welcome to Apple Discussions
The iPod will turn off after 1 minute if there is a song on pause, or if there is nothng playing.

Do not disturb doesn't switch off in 2013
Do not disturb doesn't switch off out of the scheduled period in first morning of 2013. (With GMT+8)
Anyone is having the same issue?I made some tests and this issue will fix itself on Sunday January 6, 2013. It will happen the first few days of January 2014 (until Sunday January 5, 2014) if the bug is not fixed. Most first few days of most years seem to have this bug. The bugs starts on January 1st (based on the From time under Scheduled) and is usually fixed on the first Sunday of the year (except if the first day of the year is a Sunday, then it is fixed on the second Sunday). Years preceding years where the first day is a Sunday are not affected by the bug.
Let's check the next few years, this is the pattern :
2013 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 6
2014 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 5
2015 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 4
2016 : Issue not happening even though first day is a Friday
2017 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 8 (Jan 1st is also a Sunday)
2018 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 7
2019 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 6
2020 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 5
2021 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 3
2022 : Issue not happening even though first day is a Saturday
2023 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 8 (Jan 1st is also a Sunday)
2024 : Issue fixed on Sunday Jan 7
Etc...
The same pattern happens if you go back in time as well.
Note : If DND is scheduled before midnight, then the issue and the fix (see above) are delayed one day since it's based on the From time under Scheduled. -

Mac Book Pro switches off when you open Safari!
Hi people.
I am new Mac Book Pro user, have had it for a few months now and all is good, however I have an issue and that is that everytime I open safari and open a new tab the machine switches off! To turn it back on I need to wait for 30 seconds or so and then power it on. An error report is shown upon login and it happens again when safari opens.

Xfce - Display doesn't switch off after specified period of time.
I have strange problem with power manager. When I set switch display off when computer is in-active it sometimes work and sometimes not. I've noticed that it works for some period of time right after it was set( eg. I set it to switch display off after 5 minutes, so it will work once).
Problem started to appear after I installed xscreensaver. I disabled power managing from xscreensaver but it didn't helped.
Any ideas what it might be, or where should I look for reson?Hello,
I had this problem before and after installing xscreensaver. In the end I disabled monitor contol in power manager (and left power manager to manage the hard drive) and enabled monitor control in xscreensaver. It works fine for me. I'm using a macbook 7,1 with Arch 3.15.5-2 but have had my set up like this for a while now.
Hope that helps. -
Mac does not switch off. Any idea how to fix this?
