T440 Won't Log Off or Turn Off

 The issue is the machine will not log off or shut down. If you try to do either, you hear the tones, but then the screen doesn’t do anything. It just sits at the desktop background. The icons and task bar are gone. You can see and move the mouse. They only way to do anything is to hold down the power button. Alt-Ctrl-Del or ESC doesn’t do anything.
The problem does not occur in safe mode. Machine came with 8 but I loaded it with 7.
Any ideas besides disabling one process at a time?

Does this happen with a bootable Linux USB?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.  You can then do a backup

  • My Macbook Pro won't shut down/force quit/log off...

    I've been having a problem turning my macbook pro off for about a week now. It won't shut down, force quit or log off. I've tried holding the power button down as well, with no luck. It won't even go to the sign in screen ....
    I'm not sure what the problem could be because I haven't done anything different lately... no new software, websites, etc.. Nothing came up with my Avast full system scan either.
    Help please! Thanks in advance.

  • Shut down notification won't appear = can't turn off my mac

    Hey,
    When I click the apple logo to shut down, log off, or restart my iMac the notification (saying Cancel or Shut Down) won't pop up. The only way I can shut off my computer is with the button. I've done a fresh install and it worked but then when I brought my time machine backups back on the problem came back. Also I just installed Lion and the problem remains. Please help!

  • Is there any way to log off automatically from a WIFI connection every time the device is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

    I have a bunch of Apple devices in my house (kids) and don't like the idea of all these devices (iPads, iPod touches, iPhones) always being connected to my home WIFI.  Ideally, I would prefer the devices connect automatically when they are in use by a human and log off the network when they (the devices) go to sleep mode or are turned off.

    This is not an answer, more of a question.  I know that when a pad goes to sleep, it drops the connection. We all remember the thousands of posts from folks who had trouble re establishing the connection after waking up in the early days.  What is different now is the use of push, and notifications.  If you have these enabled, doesn't that mean that the wifi needs to stay active?  
    I notice that I have notifications on the screen that came in while asleep, and I can only believe that the wifi saw them.  This is different from the old behavior or re grabbing the wifi.
    So, to Pam, on one the devices you are concerned about, turn off notifications, fetch and push, put it to sleep, and see if it drops off the network.  I am kind of curious.
    By the way, having the wifi active has not shown me any battery usage. The router certainly does not care.  Security is at the router end, so if somebody wants to hijack my signal, it does not matter if the pad is active or not.  So I guess I am not clear either on what your issue might be.

  • I programmed Firefox to delete cookies when I log off. Now Yahoo! won't remember me. How did I do it so I can go back and undo it?

    I previously programmed Firefox to delete cookies when I log off. Now Yahoo! won't keep me logged on. Yahoo! tech said to restore cookie memory. I don't remember how I took that action. How can I go back and change that setting to retain cookies?

    Tools > Options > Privacy > History > Custom settings
    Accept cookies until they expire
    (You probably don't need 3rd party cookies for remembering logins)

    I don't think there is an option for logging off in the Hot Corners, but check Mission Control System Prefs, Hot Corners button. What is set in the top, left.

    Yes, once you'r phone reaches 100% charge it will stop charging.  The problem is that if it is turned off, it will not automatically start charging again, it will need to either be turned on, or unplugged and plugged back in.  However, since you have a new battery, a phone turned off will not drain your battery much even over an extended period of time such as a week.

  • Turn logging off for a roll off job

    Hi Everyone,
    We are running into an issue in one of our bw production systems.  Once a week we run a chain that deletes data that is past our required retention period. The infoproviders we are doing the data roll off on are quite large.  Most contain two years worth of transactional data.  We have been running into issues with this process because the transaction log keeps filling and the job gets rolled back.  In sm21 the errors are as follows:
    Database error -964 requires intervention by the database administrator
    Database error -964 at UPD access to table BTCCTL                      
    > SQL0964C The transaction log for the database is full.               
    > SQLSTATE=57011 row=1                                                 
    Perform rollback                                                       
    I am wondering if there is a way to turn logging off for this particular job.  We do not require the logging. I realize the rollback cannot occur without the logs, but we don't need the rollback to happen, because we want the data deleted.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Charla

    Hi Charla,
    I don't think turn logging off is the best way to resolve this problem. I'd suggest you contact your DBA/BASIS for the root cause of this issue. They will correct it with the most professional way
    Generally once we see SQL error or DB error we just ask for their help.
    Regards,
    Frank

  • I was looking at a tanning website today and then I logged off and went to eat lunch.  When I came back, I got on Facebook and on the side were ads for tanning.  What do I do so that this won't happen?  I feel like something is wrong.

    I was looking at a tanning website today and then I logged off and went to eat lunch.  When I came back, I got on Facebook and on the side were ads for tanning.  What do I do so that this won't happen?  I feel like something is wrong.  I have heard Macs don't get viruses, but I still have Norton Virus Protection.  What is this and how do I make it not do it again!
    On another note, my trash can all of the sudden started asking for my password when I move something to it.  It is extremely annoying when I want to delete more than one thing.  Is there a way to make that not happen too?    Thank ya'll!

    1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/.Trash
    2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
    3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
    4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
    5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
    6. Close the Info window and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

  • HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

  • Sharing preferences turned off after logging off

    My sharing preferences are being turned off without a reason.  I set up my computer to share files ("File sharing" checked) and after I log off, the File sharing is unchecked and I can no longer access my computer remotely.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application System Preferences.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
