T61p- problem starting laptop after shut down or standby

Hi,
I'm facing problem with my T61p laptop, whenever I’m hibernating or shutting down or putting it on standby mode.
Well hibernate never work whenever i try, it show me "unable to complete API, insufficient system resource" so after that I never used this feature.
From the last 2 month, 3 out of 5 times when I try to wake it up from standby mode via pressing the power button nothing happen and finally I have to forcefully shut down the system and then it works which corrupted my local oracle data file
Now recently, the last working shut down option also started creating problem for me. after successfully shut down laptop last night, this morning I tried starting but nothing is happening, I tried repeatedly 3 /4 hours and luckily it booted now
But same issue is still there as I verified one more time after shutdown it again and now working on laptop is all depends on my luck
Anybody have any pointer on this issue ?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Did you let iTunes restore it? Has the problem continued? The article below discusses how to put your iPod into a recovery mode so you can fix it.

Auto Start up after Shutting down

I'm new to the Mac and am not sure of this is a normal issue or if there's a setting that I accidentally triggered. On my MacBook Pro when I shut down, it starts up again after shutting down. I'm not selecting restart and am not sure if I updated software and held off on shutting down so I don't know if its that. Is there a setting I have to adjust or is there some issue I have? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Try resetting the PRAM. Force the machine to shutdown if it won't shutdown. While the machine is turned off with your leftt hand hold down the option+commands keys. Then turn the machine on and immediately with your right hand hold the P key with your little finger and the R key with your index finger. Wait until you hear the Apple chime twice, release all key and let the machine boot up. Also try starting in the safe mode. Make sure the machine is shutdown then power it on and hold down the shift key until you see the gray Apple screen then release the shift key. let it strat up in safe mode. Then login to your user account and try to shutdown the machine again. See if this helps.

Power Mac G4 won't start up after shut down

I have a Power Mac G4 (dual 1 GHz with 2 GB of RAM) running OS X 10.4.11. It has the mirror drive doors and was once referred to as the “wind tunnel”.
The problem is that it will not start up after it has been shut down unless I first push the reset button. I have tried replacing the battery and resetting the p-ram. When I try to start it without first pushing the reset button nothing happens. The light for the start button doesn’t even come on. But if I disconnect the power, open it up and push the reset button it will start up and run perfectly.
Thank you for any suggestions that you might have.

Thanks BDAqua, it does sound like a bad capacitor. The PSU is one that I put in a few years back when Apple was giving them out so as to reduce the fan noise. I kept the old one until last week when I sent it off to be recycled. I suppose it would be a tough job to find the bad capacitor and I doubt that I would have the skill to replace it even if I could find it. It's not like I really need this power mac since I have a Mac Pro 1,1 but I do occasionally want to run something in OS 9 and I do love this machine for what ever reason. There was remarkably little dust inside but I went over it with a can of dust remover.

Hi, My mac book pro starts lag, after shut down is still the same. Every application is taking 3-6 seconds to open, if I type something in Word letter appears only after 2 - 4 seconds, Whats going on and how to fix it ?

Very slow performance
Even after shutting it down and restarting still the same.
Laggin a lot
Please help!!!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
A possible cause of a slow user interface is a large set of image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons. If you have more than a dozen or so such files, move them to another folder.
Another possible cause is iCloud activity, especially Photo Stream synchronization. If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane and see whether there's an improvement.
Otherwise take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor 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 Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. 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.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them (command-C) to the Clipboard. Paste (command-V) into a reply to this message. You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Satellite E45t won't start for few hours after shut down

I have a brand new Satellite E45t-4100. After shutting down, I am not able to start the laptop for few hours. Upon pressing the power button, say after 15 minutes, power button LED lights up but nothing is displayed on the screen. I have disabled the sleep mode from power settings as I was facing the similar situation when trying to wake up the laptop from sleep. Although, when restart is chosen, laptop restarts without any trouble.
Please help.

Hello,
I have the exact same problem as the OP with an E45t-a4300. Purchased almost a year ago (Oct 30, 2013) from Best Buy. Worked perfectly for about 2 months after purchase and then this problem arose. Started when I'd put the computer to sleep, it wouldn't wake up. The computer would just shut off when I'd go to wake it up. When I'd hit the power button to restart, the fan would briefly spin, power indicator/wifi light turns on, then it shuts down again. I would repeat this cycle- sometimes only a few times, sometimes for almost an hour- before the Toshiba splash screen appeared with the "computer wasn't shut down properly" and the computer would restart and run the standard diagonostics. However, at first on a cold start or start from hibernation it would start fine but after awhile that stopped, too, and any starting attempt was met by the same non-start/shut down cycle.
This went on for about 3 months with me basically rarely shutting down the machine. I searched forums at the time and found nothing regarding this problem. Then one day in mid-March, the start-up problem miraculously disappeard- it fired right up. It started perfectly fine and worked with no problems whatsoever for 6 months, including waking from sleep and hibernation, until about 2 weeks ago. Now the same problem is back- it won't turn on with multiple start attempts and shuts down when you try to wake from sleep or hibernation- showing the "computer wasn't shut down properly" on the splash screen and going through the test process when if finally does start. Also, I'm now unable to enter the BIOS page on start up when pressing F2. I also have disabled rapid start, etc after the problem began.
I've owned quite a few laptops over the years (including Toshiba) and work with computer based systems for a living. I REALLY love this laptop a lot (yes, even with 8.1) but this problem is just disheartening. I truly appreciate any help.
Thanks!!

Slow start up and shut down after Zenworks installation

I hope someone can help me out on this one. Not sure if I am posting the
right forum or not but here we go. After I installed Zenworks on our PC's
here at work, we have a noticed a distinct difference in how long it takes
for the PC's to start up and shut down. Before installation, everything
was very quick, like it should be. Now it seems to take some users 3-5
minutes to start and shut down their PC's. The machines are running
several different OS'es. Windows 98SE, Windows XP Pro SP1 and Windows XP
SP2. No one OS has more problems than the other. Has anyone heard of
Zenworks causing this issue or heard of a way to prevent this? I would
really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks!
Jami Benson

I keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

i keep the itunes encountered a problem and needs to shut down . it was working fine until after i updated to 10.5 can someone plz help

I did get a "server busy" message when I loaded quicktime, but I'm not sure if it is related or not since I've been seeing that over the last couple of days, I can't remember if it came before iTunes stopped working or not. That message reads "This action cannot be completed because the other program is busy. Choose 'switch to' to activate the busy program and correct the problem." My options then are to choose switch to or retry. When I press "switch to" my Start menu opens, and nothing appears to happen when I select retry.
that's an odd sort of a message (or series of messages).
hmmmmm. let's try an experiment aimed at working out if there's a program interfering with the QuickTime (which is in turn causing grief with your iTunes).
try a selective startup using MSCONFIG, with just the itunes and QuickTime background processes enabled, as per the following document:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
does QT open without the strange message after the selective startup?
does iTunes launch properly?

G4 MDD FW800 starts up and shuts down after several seconds

Hi all,
My G4 MDD FW800 DP.1,48 starts up and shuts down after about 20 seconds. I Have reset PMU and checked battery voltage, witch was OK. (also had it out for 30 minutes with no power connected etc.) I have video and also tried with NOTHING connected. But still it just powers down and failes to enter start up procedure.
Last time I had it running I pulled my iPod, beacause the computer did't see it, the next thing I saw on screen was the message to hold the power button for 5 to restart, after that I got the problem described above.
Anybody?
Thanks,
G4 MDD FW800 DP1,48 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

HT4356 After shutting down my router and PC, I can get my iPad to wirelessly connect to my HP 3050A printer. After a period of time the connection is lost and I have to start all over shutting things down. The PCM never looses connection with the print

After shutting down the router and connected PC, I can get my iPad to connect to air print to my HP 3050A printer. Connection is lost after time and I have to start the whole process over again. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the response Grant. I had both set to "never" and the power connected. I did however find while searching the forum page, an answer already given to another enquiry. The security/general tab. I had it checked, now unchecked am hoping it will solve my problem. Thanks again, Cebustu.

SL takes longer time to start up and shut down after "IceClean".

Greetings,
After "IceClean" (both maintenance and cleanup), SL seems (obviously) to take longer time to start up and shut down.
Any idea why and how can I resolve it?
Thank you so much.
Cheers.

Hi,
I've finally able to solve the problem. The problem was due to start up item. There were 2 trial application (expired long ago) in the folder. After clearing the application, start up and shut down are fast as light.
I think I've "awaken" the start up application after "IceClean" as IceClean has deleted their log file or something like that and therefore the applications have to run again.
In order to be fair to IceClean, it is my fault to be blamed.
Thanks again.
Cheers

IE had unknown error and after shut down laptop screen is blank

HP Pavillion dv6t Select Edition Customizable Notebook PC # A2Z58AV
Windows 7
IE popped up with a message that there was an error. No other explanation. After shutting down and rebooting, the laptop screen is black but has power.
No changes made to operating system before this occured.

Hi @devitojj
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that when you power off your notebook it automatically restarts in 4 seconds.
You have tried several steps to try and resolve this but there is no change.
As it repeated the behavior with the hard drive removed, you know it is not an issue with Windows.
You have tried updating the bios and returning it to bios defaults but no change.
Here is a link from answers.microsoft.com that helped other people with this issue.
Windows 7 computer restarts automatically after shutdown
This does suggest you edit your registry which does have the potential to cause issues, so be very careful. I would also suggest backing up your registry before you attempt it, just in case.
Back up the registry from Windows.microsoft.com
If that has not helped, I would try removing the Cmos or RTC battery for 30 seconds and then replacing it.
Please let me know if this helped.

HT1199 my computer displays grey screen and apple logo for 10 minutes or more during start up and shut down. sometimes it refuses to shut down . this issues started after installing OS lion. what do i do?

I don't think it's exactly an incomplete installation brody, but most likely in-correct permissions somewhere along the line that either happened, or became magnified during the upgrade. Also, it could be corruption as well.
First thing to do, is boot up holding down Shift key to do a safe-boot so we an clean up any corrupted OS caches, after that do another reboot, but go to the Lion recovery, and scan the HD for errors, repair any if you find them, and then try to do a Repair Permissions job.
That should fix the issue, if not, we can start doing a PRAM reset and SMC for good measure.

Laptop battery drains after shut down

Hi, I have bought hp pavilion 15-no28se six months back,
Its working good, but one issue is contantly irritating me, it is due to its battery drainage after shut down overnight.It almost drains 8-10 percent withing 12 hours. Whereas, I properly shut down it and caliberated as well, but of no use. Although, battery status is OK, and I think battery is fine becasue once I took out battery from laptop for 24 hours, then inserted again and checked it and not a single percent dropped down.
I am so tense that why it is draining when battery works well and properly shut down?Please guide me on this.I am waiting..

Hello again rocket_sc,
I hope you had a great weekend!
To test, calibrate, and re-synchronize your battery you will need to first follow the steps in this document on Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8). Once this is completed, and the battery continues to drain, then you can move to re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
I understand that this process can be a little overwhelming, but not to worry! I would gladly expand on the steps provided above!
To answer your first question: you are not uninstalling the software as you would from Programs and Features (like uninstalling software downloaded from a CD). Instead, you are removing small driver components removable from the Device Manager.
To get the Device Manager, please follow the steps below:
Step 1. Go to Device Manager:
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 2. Select Batteries:
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
a. If you see any duplicates of the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery", please select them both.
Step 4. Click Uninstall
a. You might also see an option that says "disable." Please disregard this option, and click on Uninstall.
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Restart the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for one minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find and install the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
c. The Device Manager should be open.
Step 9. Select Batteries
a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there (there should only be one).
Step 11. Click "Update Driver Software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
a. If you do not see this parcel of software in the Device Manager, please skip this step. If you do, the same steps would include:
* Right-clicking this device driver in the Device Manager
* Click on "uninstall"
* Put a check in the box next to "remove the current driver" and pressing "ok"
* Restarting the computer
* Remove the battery for one minute, then re-insert it
* Return to the Device Manager
* Right-clicking the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
* Click "update driver software"
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Start up and shut down is slow after erasing free space using disk utility?

I went to Disk Utility, clicked Erase, and then "Erase Free Space." When I saw that it was going to take 1 hour and 30 minutes, I tried closing disk utility. It wouldn't let me exit, so instead I pressed "Skip." But when you hover over the "Skip" button it says, "Erase all data and reformat the disk."
I'm wondering if the fact that I pressed the skip button has anything to do with my computer shutting down/starting up A LOT slower now. If so, what can I do to fix it?
Thanks!

Just wanted to give an update. I called Apple and apparently, you shouldn't empty the free space using disk utility while you're logged in. I had to insert the Installations CD and press the "C" button while my computer restarted, and used Disk Utility from there. My start up and shut down speed still isn't exactly the way it was before, but this definitely made a difference.
Thank you to those who replied to my question!
