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.

Hi,
The /etc/oratab should have an entry for this database with 'Y' in the last field as:
Oracle_sid: Oracle_Home:Y, so when dbstart command issued it will check the oratab and starts the database.
I advise you to keep the dbstart and dbshut in different scripts and save them directly in the runlevel directories, instead of creating links.
thanks

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.

Sleep and Shut Down problems

Here's the problem: several months ago my iMac went to sleep and when I hit the space bar to wake it up, the pinwheel started spinning and there was a series of ten clicks, a pause, and then ten clicks again, over and over. The clicks were coming from the hard drive area in the computer. I did a hard re-boot and it was fine for awhile but then the problem came back when the hard drive went to sleep.
Then, when I would try to start it up after shutting it down, a similar thing would happen: no desktop, one click, then an infinite series of ten clicks from the hard drive with a pause in between each series.
I tried unplugging everything, letting it click away for as long as it felt like it. Eventually the clicking stopped, but the folder with the question mark came up. I restarted and restarted over and over and eventually the computer came back up with no problems.
I called Apple and they felt it was a software issue. They talked me through some diagnostics, resetting the PRAM, Disk First Aid and then finally wiping the hard drive and starting over. I reinstalled my applications and it worked fine for awhile; I was able to shut down and start up, as well as put the drive to sleep without any problems.
Then, it happened again on shut down and subsequent start up. Once again, I restarted over and over and eventually it came back up. Since then I have turned all the Energy Saver options to "Never" and haven't shut down since. Except once when the power went out. I had the same problems starting up.
I still think that it's a software thing because otherwise I haven't had one problem with this beauty of a machine.
Anybody got any ideas?

Zambini, welcome to Discussions. I would tend to think you have a hardware problem. The clicking is probably the hard drive and the reason it has trouble starting is if the hard drive isn't functioning properly then the Imac isn't finding the OS on the hard drive and can't start up properly. I would definitely get ahold of Apple and let them know what is going on STILL and that reloading has not fix it. It may also be the motherboard but would definitely think hardware. Good luck and let us know how it goes with Apple. Bob :~))

Hello again octopus78,
Based on the information you have given me, I would suggest following this document on when the Screen is Blank after Starting the Computer.
If the issue persists I suggest creating a backup by following this document on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8). The next step will be to recover your Operating System by Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8).

Fan noise on startup AND shutting down

The last week my ibook g4 started shutting down randomly. The screen goes blue and the computer is unresponsive. I hold the power button down for several seconds and I hear it shut down. At the same time, intermittently - but most of the time now - when I start it up, I get the fan blowing - can feel the breeze out the back. It won't do anything other than that. When this happens I can't even shut the fan off - even by holding down the power button. I have to unplug the adapter and take the battery out to shut it off. After I do this 5 or 6 times it will start normally and work for about 10 minutes, then it shuts down again. Any ideas ? Thanks..

That seems really cheap....most others with logic board failures report the cost to be around $800 for repairs. Are you sure it was the logic board that failed?
And to all the others with problems similar to John's, you really should follow the advice he did and call AppleCare/Go to an Apple store for this type of issue! And good luck!

Restart and shut down problems on MBA

Hi Community,
I have the OS X Lion 10.7.3 Software on my MBA, since I bought it last year in the summer, so maybe my case is a warranty issue!
I normally put my MBA to sleep, but sometimes try to shut it down, it worked just fine before, but since a couple of days it doesn't restart and
won't shut down, the gray wheel modus until I press the shut down button for couple of seconds. I don't won't to shut it down only this way,
there is obviously a problem. I already installed the new update from the software and it didn't even ask to restart, normally it has to restart after an update, right?
I have tried to shut it down from the guest account and it worked just fine.
So it would be great, if someone else has some tips to this issue.
Thx,
Yulya

If you boot into Lion recovery mode (boot holding the command and R keys down), bring up Disk Utility and do a repair disk. Also repair permissions while you're there. If that completes without error, reboot using the Safe Boot by holding the shift key down when booting. That may take longer than normal. If that completes, try a regular boot.
If issue still remains, download the 10.7.3 combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 . Before installing it, bring up Disk Utility (on your hard drive in applications/utilities) and repair permissions. Install the combo update, then repair permissions again.
If those steps don't fix it, the next step may be to reload 10.7, however, you may want to take it to the Apple store to see if they have any other guidance. It doesn't sound like a hardware problem, though.

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!

Freezing and Shut Down Problems Exporting in Final Cut Pro X

The trial is a full-flavored actual version of FCPX - which doesn't support your OS.
How did you manage to download it, anyhow?!

I installed Canon software on my macpro laptop and it takes forever to startup and shut down

Hello. I recently got a Canon Rebel T3 and in order to download photos to my macbook pro I had to install their software. Well, after installing it, it takes VERY long to shut down and start up my laptop. Can someone help? I already deleted the software off the laptop, but that hasn't seem to fix the issue.

"... I already deleted the software off the laptop, but that hasn't seem to fix the issue."
I doubt that the software was the issue. So why not tell us what model MBP you have and how much free space is on the hard drive. When was the last time you booted to the OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility? BTW, you may not need their software to download pictures to your Mac. Launch iPhoto and from the menu: iPhoto>Preferences>General: Connecting Camera Opens.....

Why do I see code on startup and shut down?

Hello everybody,
I have a new iMac and for some reason when I boot up, or shut down, I can see a screen full of code. It looks like it is all the bootup information that the iMac is going through. I haven't seen this on other macs. Does anybody know how to turn this off? It was doing this right out of the box for some reason. I have applied all updates and it is still doing it.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Normally the things you are seeing are only shown when you use verbose mode. To do this you need to hold down command+v when booting. I have never heard of nor seen a Mac which does this without holding down these 2 keys. As stupid as it may sound: I'd try this key combo and maybe it'll "go away" next time you boot again. Since I don't know of a setting which would force your Mac to verbose mode I don't think there is one. Maybe your keyboard is defective resulting in command and v keys being "sent" to your Mac? So you could also try to disconnect your keyboard at boot...
Good luck!

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.

Has anyone else had any problems with their phone over heating and shutting down?

I've had my phone for less a month and I've already had issues with my iphone 4. On several occassions it has overheated and shut down. On one occasion I put the phone in the side pocket of my purse where, I also had a charger for my camera. When I removed the phone, it was hot...not warm but hot! On another occasion I was at the movies and put the phone face down on my lap, at one point i touched the phone and again it was hot. When the movie was over, and I looked at the phone it had shut down....this has happened a few times more since then. I've also had problems with the phone shutting down on it's own. I took it to my local apple store and the representative looked at my phone and ran a diagnostic check for me. He said the everything on my phone looked normal and that my phone probably needs a "breaking in" period...to give it a couple of months...He really didn't tell me much more...I don't use my phone for more than the basics...calling, texting, and some mild app use...I don't understand how I can be having these problems when I've had my phone for less than a month...The rep tried selling my the Apple insurance. He told me that through ATT I only have 30 days, and I would be better off getting this insurance. I feel very dissastisfied with the service I got. I was done with my appointment within 10 mins, I don't think the representative took the time to listen to my concerns.

Thanks for your reply, but I guess whether this was a silly question is a matter of opinion. That is the whole purpose having these forums...so that people can post their questions, silly or not. Maybe you are an Apple expert or have "techy" knowledge, but I don't. So what may be silly or stupid for you, can be completely different for a novice apple consumer like me. If you must know, I did do my research, and I did do the basic trouble shooting.All to no avail. I took my phone to the apple store, had it diagnosed and was told some very inaccurate information. I ended up going back today, and got a second opinion. This person actually took the time to talk to me and to better explain Applecare and my warranty. She also told me that there is no such thing as a "break in" period, and when there is a shutting down issue, even after a "restore" that it was better to get it replaced. Which is what she did. She replaced my phone. Obviously, the first person, by his own admission, was too tired and ready to go home to actually take the time to explain and offer other options...

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down and dont work anymo

I have a MacBook Pro that I bought almost a year ago, next day problems with the hard disc that could not be diagnosed by the service, after 3 months they realized it and changed it with a new one, after 3-4 months heated and shut down by itself and dont work anymore. From apple say even a year has not passed it is not under garancy and I should pay to fix it without ans issue.

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.
