System does not turn off after halt after successful suspend-resume

I have the following problem: when I try to shut down my laptop after it resumed from suspend to ram. It seems to shut down normally until, at the very end, it reaches the system halted part (which you wouldn't even be able to read if the system would actually halt). I'm running an updated system, no testing, on an Dell Latitude E6400. The system shuts down normally if I don't suspend it.
Any ideas? What additional information do you need?

I meant: turn off via 'sudo init 0' instead of 'sudo halt', not after.
Ok, wasn't sure. Isn't "sudo halt" effectively the same thing? How are they different?

Anyone know how to fix this problem ?

hi tmpst,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If a wireless device (mouse, keyboard, etc.) is plugged to the computer, the display, screen saver or sleep function might not work. If this is your case, try to:
1. Remove your wireless device (might include a usb dongle)
2. Apply the Moving mouse causes laptop to exit sleep mode fix
If you have Power DVD installed, apply http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913405
Let me know your findings.
Cheers.

USB external HD does not turn off after system shut down

This is not a new issue in Leopard. I had this issue also in Tiger but I never bothered to ask whether there may be a solution to this issue.
I have firewire as well as USB HDs attached to my iMac. If I put my computer to sleep both the firewire and the USB HDs turn themselves off. The HDs come back to live after I reawake the Mac. But if I turn off the iMac then only the firewire HDs turn themselves off. The USB HDs remain turned on.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so that the USB external HDs turn themselves off after system shut down?

Since the issue is not a Leopard issue, and maybe not even a Tiger issue, you might check with the drive manufacturer for some assistance.
Does the drive turn off when you eject it and then pull out the USB plug? That's important.

HP Pavillion 17 - Screen backlight does not turn off after shut down

The screen stays lit up white after shutdown is complete. No lights appear on the power button or any of the keys. Just a white screen. Any ideas what could cause this? Laptop works perfectly when powered on. Thanks, Susan

Hi @suzygf78,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your display is still after your computer is shutdown?! I am happy to help you with this. It would be best to get the full product number and OS version. Please read the following documents if you need help in finding those.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
Is the display you are describing the built in display or an attached 2nd display?
As a start here are a few documents to start with that may help, but if it is the built in display I admit I am scratching my head a bit as it is a very weird issue.
Resolving Problems with Notebook Displays (Windows 7 and Windows 8)
Resolving Problems with the Brightness of the Display
Diagnosing a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) for Damage
Please let me know if any of those proved helpful, or post the requested information and we will go from there.

Ipad does not turn off after ios7 update

I recently updated my ipad 2 to the iOS 7.3 update. I left it alone to update because I knew it would take some time. I set it up and then had to leave my ipad to take care of my baby. I came back and it wouldn't turn on. I figured it had run out of juice so I charged it all day today and it still won't turn on.

Try rebooting...
press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Light will not turn off after installing new cyano cartridge

Light will not turn off after new cyano cartridge installed

I suspect that the ones that say they will work with Windows 8 on the box. If it does not say that, check the maunfacturer's website. They eventually will have to give Windows 8 support for the new cards or loose out to the competitors cards.

Dry the iPod by:

Then try the standard fixes:

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Retore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem then your iPod needs service.

Imac 27" does not turn off

Hi,
I have a brand new iMac 27" all in one, which works perfectly except for the fact that 3 times out of 4 it does not turn off with the normal command and I am obliged to turn it off with the back switch, after it remain for various minutes with the blue window on and the wheel running.
Initially I tried to disconnect an external HDD which was connected by USB and seemed to have solved the problem for a few days, but now the problem shows up again.
At the moment I have connected only a Bamboo device on the USB port.
I have tried to Verify the HDD and repair the disk, but no improvement.
Any suggestion on how to proceed? Thank you
SS

If all the prior steps have not resolved the issue then at this point I would suggest:
Remove any additional memory you may have added to the system
Reinstall of the OS: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8177.html
If the issue persists after you follow the above steps, you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
If this issue was occurring right out of the box on the brand new system without you adding any additional software / migrating data from an older Mac, be sure to let them know that as well. Its unusual to have a blank, brand new system have this kind of behavior so that will save them some diagnostic steps.
Best of luck to you.

Have you done the safe boot mentioned above?
Can you click on the apple on the left of the menu bar? Did you try Paul_31's advice to choose force quit to see if there are any applications that are not responding?
I tend to agree that it may be time to take it to an Apple service center for hands-on attention.
Apple normally doesn't replace a machine with a new one unless they have been unable to repair an issues(s) after several tries.

Imac does not turn off.

hello,
I have an imac, running on os x lion. u know how, when you click on shutdown, it shows the white screen. sometimes my imac does not turn off and keep showing it. could you please tell me what i can do to solve this problem.
thanks

The safe boot more or less resets system files.
When it is something in the hardware:
1.do the Pram and the SMC resets:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
2. shutdown the mac and startup while holding the ALT(option) key: choose the Recovery Disk, from the window choose Disk Utility, select the Lion disk, choose "repair disk".
When it is not a hardware problem:
3. List the applications you installed in the last 6 months, also the ones from the Appstore.
4. List the plugins (extensions) you have in Safari.

My BEATS speakers are connected to my Mac but I have no audio and do not understand how to turn off the speaker. I press the power button and not shut off. And the white light behind me indicating that this synchronized, does not turn off ever.

Screen does not turn off near my ear

The screen backlight does not turn off when you place it near your ear. Anyone else have this problem?

What I found, especially with my Boxwave case (that iLounge didn't give high marks for), was that if you hold the earhole up directly to your ear, the screen does turn off.
I checked and rechecked it in the mirror, and if I deviate a few cm higher or lower, then no, it won't. But if it's right up to my ear, then it does.
By the way, I love the Boxwave case. The leather foldover protects the screen when sitting in my brief case.
