System doesn't want to switch off(arch+notebook)

I just have installed the system. I have installed only base packages from new core image. System works good but doesn't want to switch off. After using shitdown -h now or poweroff or halt all as usally but after appearance inscription Power off nothing is going on.
If I nothing to do in the system then it swithes off good. But when I am mounting disks for example then the same problem. If I am mounting disk then unmounting all is good. With mounted disks which I didn't touch during installing system very rare swith off correctly but without them always all is good. It seems strange for me... what relationship between mounting and switching off...maybe it's just coincidence..I don't now.
Maybe something wrong with acpi? While only base-packeges are in the system. Maybe it needs other packages for notebook?
What do you think? And by the way, excuse my english)

Does it hang up while powering off ? did you try to reinstall sysvinit-mod ? or the core packages ?
I just have reinstalled the system but in this time I have mounted disks during installing. The same situation but now system switch off never even if I unmounting disks before.
It hungs up in the last moment after all operation. After inscription Power Off in the terminal nothing to do and system hangs up.
By the way, before i used Ubuntu on this notebook and switching off was working correctly exept for stand by and hibernate

You can try holding the home button and the power button for about 10s and it should turn it off.

MacBook doesn't want to turn off or logout...

I have had my macbook for a few months now (since August) and every since I've updated to Leopard my macbook sometimes doesn't want to turn off or logout. When this happens a message pops up telling me that the finder was not able to close and that I should try force quitting it. But when I force quit it nothing really happens. The bar on top of the screen and icons on the desk top go away and never reappear and when I try the power button nothing happens and I am forced to unplug and take out the battery. If anyone could help me with this issue between now and tomorrow, I would be highly appreciative.

Hi naroke!
When there are Finder related issues, often times the best (and easiest) fix is to re-install the operating system from the OS X 10.5 discs. You can try a few things before going to that point, though, so try these and it might fix the issue.
1. Reset PRAM (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238)
2. Disk Utility / Repair Disk (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 / http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html)
The next option, might make sense to do an archive & install of the operating system.

Want to switch off the general search and open the advanced search

Hi All,
I want to switch off the general search and open the advanced search when i load my application. For this I have followed the steps previously posted in the forum.
I have created a version(0001) and for that version i have checked the open advance search. If i do this way it works perfectly but when i click on the result list the detail tab does not come. But when i remove this settings and go through general search both the advance search and the general search works properly. I am able to get the details tab.
Why am I not getting the details tab if i open the advanced search directly. Please give your inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Anuradha.P

Hi Anuradha.
Please check the following thread:

Firefox won't update on my system, even with firewall & antivirus switched off - help ?

OS : Windows 7 - 64bit, with antivirus (Bitdefender).
Downloaded update from you website (version 25.01), switched off Windows firewall, bitdefender firewall & antivirus. Run 25.01.exe - it partly updates (3/4 green bar), then bombs out.
Firefox version currently running on my system is 22.
If I try to update from your pull-down meny "Help" then "about Firefox", after downloading the update, get message that I need to restart Firefox to finalise update, but the process also gets blocked.
Opening Firefox, I'm still on version 22
Hope you can point out how I can overcome this ?
Thank you for your support - love your product !!

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!
Thank you.

IPad doesn't want to shut off right away

So I hold down the power button and I slide the power off slide, but after a few seconds the wake locked screen pops up. I go through the process a second time and the iPad shuts off perfectly. So am I doing something wrong?

Try this:
Hold the sleep/wake and home button at the same time. Ignore the prompt 'Slide to switch off' and continue holding those buttons down until the iPad restarts.
Once that's done, try switching the iPad off to see whether it works.

My IPHONE4S doesn't want to turn off

I just had my iphone 4s for a week now. and I just realised that I couldn't turn the phone off. Everytime I tried to turn it off, the apple logo starts appearing and the phone is back on again. I don't get what is happening because I've tried restoring it, rebooting and restarting. None of that works so I am really confused right now.
And another weird thing is when I connected it to the usb cable which is connected to the laptop, and then try switching it off, it WORKS!
Has anyone else ever experience this before?
Thank You.

Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

Macbook air has some substance on the outside that doesn't want to come off!

I got my macbook air on September of 2014. Now out of nowhere there is some weird stain on the edge of it. I thought it was candy so I tried to wipe it off with water. I tried it and it's sour. But every time I wipe it off it comes back when it dries up. What's Happening!?!?!?

TS2634 Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch off doesn't work. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Ipad 3 cover fault - magnetic switch doesn't work to switch off ipad when cover is closed. Anyone found a way to make this work please?

Has this problem just cropped up or has it been there all along.
The iPad 3 requires a Smart Cover with magnet aligned only in a certain way. This was not the case for the previous models of iPads. So some older covers will work with the newer iPads because their magnets just happened to be aligned just right. Other covers will not.

Canon iP4500 - Switch OFF Color Management in Leopard 10.5.3

Hello,
a few days ago I've got the Canon iP4500; I've downloaded the latest drivers for it (on the Canon web called 2.1, but when installed it says 10.1). I wanted to profile the printer with the EyeOnePhoto spectrometer, so I logically wanted to switch OFF the color management in the printer driver for printing the reference file..
So, after hours of frustration I must give up: I can't find any way to switch the color management off. In my previous Canon there was an "Color mode: None" option, but for the iP4500 there is only "Standard" and "Vivid", e.g. "None" is missing in the dropdown options.
I've googled hours and read the online help with no success. The online help says it should be there, in "Color Correction" section. It's not. Am I having too new driver version or am I missing something? I've tried everything possible already, set the color management to "Vendor" and "ColorSync", looked in ColorSync Tool, changed media.. Nothing.. From none application, with any possible setting combination, IT IS NOT THERE..
Any ideas?
Thank you very much,
Andrej

Unfortunately the Canon inkjet drivers are not provided with an uninstaller, so it requires a manual clean-up. Following is my uninstall/reinstall procedure for the iP series of Canon printers...
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button.
2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
3. Close Print & Fax
4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package files. The file name will show Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and there will be one for the Canon CUPS version, most likely showing v10.x.
6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
7. Empty the Trash
8. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
9. Reinstall the version 6.9.2 of the Canon driver.
10. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
11. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
12. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
13. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer. This should be the v6.9.2 driver.
14. Click Add to add the printer.
