T440p Automatically powers up after user powers down

I am dealing with a TP T440p that was recently built and installed for a user. When in the dock station - when she powers down through normal methods the machien automatically powers back on. When undocked it is fine and of course she can hold down the power button on the dock to shut down but that can be harmful to the system.
Anyone have experiene with an issues like this - I have tried docks and setting changes I have seen online with minimal success.
Thank you.

In the BIOS for the device, do you have the setting enabled that powers it on when the AC is attached?
Shot in the dark with that, but it might be the issue, if the dock is acting like a power supply being attached.

PDA app crashes when the IPAQ automatically powers down.

The program monitors the Bluetooth serial port fine but when the iPAQ hp2210 does an automatic power down and I power it back up (by pressing the ON/OFF button) the program is still on the screen and a dialog box comes up stating:
"ERROR... App failed. Error code 430368002. Unable to allocate memory."
What is funny is that I am using very little memory and the program is pretty small.

I tried do a simple loop with 100ms delay and did not have a problem going into suspend mode.
I have modified the original program to tack down the actual function that is causing the error. I found by commenting out the "Serial Port Read.vi" the error will not happen. This is weird because the only time the vi is called is when the there are bytes at the serial port which should be 0. I have added an error detection and an indicator to show bytes at port and both come back 0. This problem is very repeatable and also confusing.

Iphone 5 has started powering down after upgrade to 7.02, help please.

My iPhone 5 started powering down after the 7.02 upgrade I did almost a week ago (3 times). I realize now that it starts after I see a message notification on the home screen and click on the slider to enter my passcode and reply to the message.
I never get the chance to enter my passcode and the phone turns itself off. The only way I can bring it back is to connect it to my Mac and launch iTunes. Then it reboots itself and behaves normally for 2 days.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.

Windows 7 home premium pc keeps powering down after startup.

Windows 7 home premium pc keeps powering down after startup The only thing I have noticed different is the heat sink fan RPMS rev quicker and seem to stay reved for longer periods. The COMPONENTS ARE DUST FREE. Components do not feel warm to the touch. Ventalation Is over done. The pc will no longer run long enough to do a lot of testing. I will be honest I do not know much, so lets change testing to trial and error.

Why does iTunes DJ stop after my display has powered down?

When my display has gone into idle power-down, iTunes finishes what it was doing and quits until I do something to my computer that wakes the display.
Details:
I'm listening to music on iTunes DJ (some AirPlay devices running).
Everything's fine if I'm using the computer iTunes is on.
When I walk away, I notice after a few minutes that no track started after the last one stopped. At some point during the last track, my display powered down (5 minutes).
I jiggle my mouse or tap ctrl or shift or whatever else you do to get a display to wake up.
As the monitor wakes up, play resumes.
BONUS: when iTunes is in this state of non-playing, Apple TV can't engage my library to play media either.
Just started doing this today.
iTunes 10.5.3.3

I was in iphoto cropping, the computer froze, I powered down. after restart, I lost the pictures I was working on. How do I find them?

I was cropping in iphoto, the computer froze, I powered down. After restart, the photos were lost. How do I find them?

Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
NOTE: was it the computer that froze or just iPhoto? If it was just iPhoto you can use the  ➙ Force Quit menu option to quite out of iPhoto without having to power down.

Time Capsule Shuts Down or Powers Down During or After Backup

Just started backing up my wife's MBP (Leopard) to our Time Capsule via Time Machine. Previously the Time Capsule had only been used as an Airport, and had never shut down by itself. Now, inexplicably, the Time Capsule powers itself down. If I stop backing up to it, it stays on. If I run Time Capsule, it powers down. Powers up again fine - unplug, wait 10 seconds, and it cycles to a green light. Then a few hours later, Time Capsule is discovered powered down. Its not the cats, not the dog - it seems to be whenever Time Machine runs.
Checked the firmware on the Time Capsule and upgraded it to the most current. Made no difference.
What is going on?

So this just started happening to my Gen 1 500GB Time Capsule as well. I came across these articles:
http://www.macgasm.net/2010/07/12/time-capsule-recalled/
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2010/jul/13/apple-time-capsule-failure -analysis
The second one claims that the shutdown is due to an "overheating fault in some of the electronics around the power supply." I am going to check the serial number on mine to see if it falls in the range for a recall-replacement (since I am way out of warranty).
Even if yours isn't in the recall range, is it possible it's damaged from prior overheating?

Monitor displays wallpaper after mac pro powered down

since I replaced my MBP with a new Mac Pro, after I shut down, my wallpaper is still displayed on my display (HP 2335).
I can even disconnect the DVI from my mac pro, and it is still displayed. I've never seen anything like this.
Any ideas?

Similar thing happens to me. I'm suspicious that the other 2 times I have heard of it (including your account), it has been the combo of an early 2008 Mac Pro and an HP L2335, which is what I have.
I don't have a fix - just find it slightly annoying.

HP Officejet Pro 8500A fails to print until powered down and restarted.

This problem has arisen after about a year of giving good service. Although it says "Now Printing," it does not print until powered down or disconnected and restarted or reconnected for each print job. I will be most grateful for any suggestions for fixing this.

Hi @jmuravchik
Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause.

MacBook Air crashes/powers down each time it's turned on.

I replaced OS 10.6.8 on my MacBook Air with Lion 10.7 when Lion became available last week.
Last night I noticed some odd behavior -- extremely slow "genii" minimization of screens, duplications of key strokes, and other anomalies.
Then today, each time I tried to boot up, as soon as the wheel stopped spinning and the desktop became visible:
Several windows automatically displayed -- windows I was working on when I shutdown earlier.
The dialogue box appeared with buttons for | Restart | Sleep | Cancel | Shutdown |
Almost immediately, the power cut off and the screen went dark.
"Reopen windows when logging back in" was checked, so I unchecked it. As a result, the Air now powers down without displaying windows or the dialogue box. It goes black almost as soon as the Apple logo and login wheel disappear. (I'm connected to the Power Adapter, so there's no problem about power.)
I tried several remedies that have worked in the past with OS 10.6+, but they're not working now --
Opening in Safe Mode: the system powered down while I was logging in.
Using Command-R to invoke Disk Utility: The system crashed before I could start Disk Utility.
Resetting my Power Management using the Shift-Control-Option + Power. The air powered down as soon as I turned it on.
Finally, I tried reinstalling Snow Leopard using the Install stick that came with the Air, but the system died before I could initiate a new install. What's going on?
First clue: I tried the fix-errors command, fsck, in single-user mode. It logged into command line fine, bu tbefore I could invoke /sbin/ fsck -fy as usual, a line appeared
: / root# AppleMCP89TMSpowerGatingdown(0)done
and the system died. Did something actually "power-gate down"? What's that mean? (MCP89 is an Nvidia video chip.)
Second clue: When I disconnected the Air's Power Adapter because of a lightning storm outside, the Air rebooted and then died, rebooted and died, etc. (I'm typing these comments on my Pro, of course.) It only stopped when I shut the lid.
Thanks very much for your knowledge, expertise, and suggestions for how to restore my Air or if it's a hardware problem, how bad it might be.

I experienced the same. Then I reinstalled OSX Tiger, put in my Snow Leopard Disc and restored my system from Time Machine. But OS X Lion constantly makes my system crash, so after the last crash (twice a week it did) I reinstalled Snow Leopard and restored what I needed to use from my Time Machine backup manually. (including finding hidden files for my mails, adress book, calendar etc).
I look forward to Apple telling us whether OS X Lion can run on EVERY Mac with an Intel processor from 1.83 Core 2 Duo. I have 2 Gb RAM and everything worked really nice and fine until Lion crashed. And the problem seemed that it has also corrupted my backups in Time Machine when Lion tossed round my files.

IMac 27'' keeps powering down for no reason

After about 2 hrs of editing sometimes my iMac 27'' keeps powering down for no reason and then rebooting.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Cpu frequency scaling not working and hdd powers down

Hi,
I recently made a fresh reinstall on my laptop keeping only my user settings (home directory) but no system-wide settings (/etc).
Now I have the following issues:
1) CPU frequency scaling does not work. KDE's PowerDevil tells me, my CPU does not have scaling capability and when I try to start cpufreq, I get this error message:
# /etc/rc.d/cpufreq start
:: Setting cpufreq governing rules , cpu 0 1Error setting new values. Common errors: [BUSY] - Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)ble_governors: No such file or directory
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
The governor modules are loaded:
# lsmod | grep cpufreq
cpufreq_userspace 2096 0
cpufreq_powersave 942 0
cpufreq_ondemand 7990 0
freq_table 2339 1 cpufreq_ondemand
cpufreq_conservative 9172 0
This used to work out-of-the box with the previous install so I'm a bit puzzled.
2) My hard drive powers down after a few seconds of inactivity, just to power up a few seconds later when it's accessed again. The hard drive never powered down on my previous installation. I do not have any power management daemons running and this behavior starts right after booting the machine, before I log in.
I would like to disable this "feature" since I think it's rather bad for the hard drive's health as well as battery life.
Any ideas?:)
EDIT: Cpu frequency scaling is fixed now, forgot to load the acpi_cpufreq module.:rolleyes: There's still the issue with the hard drive, though.

The HDD thing is caused by upowerd, dunno why though.
You can try: hdparm -B 254 <disk device>, but that wont solve the problem permanently, only till you plug and unplug again the AC supply.
you can also try killing upowerd and things will (at least that was the case for me) be alright.
Maybe this is upowerd bug?

AirPort Extreme powers down when iMac is shut down

9-month old AirPort Extreme, with two hardwire connections: one to the DSL modem, and one to an iMac. After months of perfect performance and reliability, the AirPort extreme now completely powers down as soon as the iMac is shut down or goes to sleep. It powers back up with the iMac. Logging out the iMac to another user account does not shut down the AE.
Naturally, we checked the electrical supply for all three devices and they are all plugged into a perfectly ordinary surge supressor strip.
We're thinking the AE has a hardware failure...but what kind of bizarre symptom is this that it shuts down when it loses signal from it's only Ethernet client?

This is certainly odd. Have you tried a different port on the AEX?
It may be best to contact Apple about a warranty exchange.

ImacG5 powering down

Hello
Looking for some help. New computer user with ImacG5 that is powering down after about 15 minutes of non-use. At first the computer was making "whirring" noises and was a bit difficult to turn back off, but that no longer seems to be an issue.
The computer is just quitting on me... is there some way this might possibly be diagnosed or better yet, resolved, without a 200 mile trip to the Apple Service Center?
Thank you for reading

Hi Momfisher,
First, take a look into the Apple Repair Program: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/ - you machine exhibits some of the same issues addressed in the program. Your machine may or may not be on the list, if it is, call Apple...
