When I close my laptop lid and it goes to sleep so that I can use an external monitor, monitor does not turn on when I hit a key to start laptop

When I use my external monitor, I cannot get it to work after awakening my laptop using any key. My monitor won't light up although laptop keyboard is backlit showing that it has come out of sleep mode. Why does the monitor not get the signal from the laptop?

I still cannot figure out why it doesn't always work. All parameters were met and my bluetooth keyboard is set correctly to wake the computer. My keyboard becomes backlit, but my LG monitor does not pick up a video signal and is black and my laptop monitor is off. The only way I can get out is to hold on button on laptop until it shuts down and I can start up again. This happens on an intermittent basis. Sometimes it works and other times I get black screens. I need to know if I can use command F1 to get the laptop to detect the display or is their another key combination to send the signal to the external monitor when I can't see anything because I hate to do a hard shut down to get out of this mode! Please advise!

when the apple review team review our app，they point out that our app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently。but in fact，when the app in background ，the app need data update to make the function of trajectory replay come ture。in fact， we have added function when the app is in background mode。we have point out the point to them by email。but they still have question on the background mode，we are confused，does anyone can help me，i still don't know why do review team can't find the data update when the app is in background and how do i modify the app，or what is the really problem they refered，do i misunderstand them？
the blow is the content of the review team email：
We found that your app uses a background mode but does not include functionality that requires that mode to run persistently. This behavior is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.
We noticed your app declares support for location in the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist but does not include features that require persistent location.
It would be appropriate to add features that require persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background or remove the "location" setting from the UIBackgroundModes key. If your application does not require persistent, real-time location updates, we recommend using the significant-change location service or the region monitoring location service.
For more information on these options, please see the "Starting the Significant-Change Location Service" and "Monitoring Shape-Based Regions" sections in the Location Awareness Programming Guide.
If you choose to add features that use the Location Background Mode, please include the following battery use disclaimer in your Application Description:
"Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."
Additionally, at your earliest opportunity, please review the following question/s and provide as detailed information as you can in response. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review.
We are unable to access the app in use in "http://www.wayding.com/waydingweb/article/12/139". Please provide us a valid demo video to show your app in use.
For discrete code-level questions, you may wish to consult with Apple Developer Technical Support. When the DTS engineer follows up with you, please be ready to provide:
- complete details of your rejection issue(s)

- symbolicated crash logs - if your issue results in a crash log

HT5234 what if the if the light does not turn on when plug in?

What if the the light does not turn on when you connect you adapter to you macbook pro?

I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're talking about your MagSafe power adapter. Mine does this occasionally. Generally, if I turn it over, the light shows as lit on the other side. Sometimes I do have to plug it in a time or two before the light on the adapter will turn on (orange or green).
For more information, see this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1713

My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

My iphone4s does not turn on,when I connect to power ,it shows the message "connect to itunes" but when I connect to iTunes,my pc does not detect my phone,so iTunes does not detect my iPhone.

Are you running the most recent version of iTunes for Windows on your PC? You may be running an older version that is incompatible with the 4s.
Hope this helps

Sound does not turn off when switching between AppTabs, ie Pnadora to other radio stations

I have several radio stations (Pandora, NPR, etc) as Apps Tabs, but the sound does not turn off from one when switching to another.

Thank you. This is precisely the type of solution I was looking for.
My home network is set up with a single router that assigns DHCP addresses and does the NAT to the internet. This router does not have wireless. Its location is too out of the way (given where Comcast brought the line in) to be any good at wireless broadcast. So I installed two access points on the wired network.
I had vaguely known something about using the same SSID on the multiple base stations but I had also heard of difficulties a university reported having some years ago.
In any case I made the switch and it works great. I get full bars on the icon on the menu bar as I walk around the house. Exactly what I was looking for and no manual intervention once I set it up.
Thank you.

ITunes does not turn on when iPhone attached.

I know I'll feel stupid after somebody gives me the answer to this. But, what the heck, if I don't ask I won't get. So here it goes: My iTunes does not turn on automatically when I attach my iPhone to my Mac. I have to open the application manually. Is there a setting to make it come on when I attache my iphone?

Yes, there is a setting to make it happen. Connect your iPhone to your Mac, and click on it in the iTunes column so it shows the iPhone information. Click on Summary, got to the bottom of that page, under Options, and check the box that says "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected".
P.S. I know how you feel. I think I have posted about a dozen questions that I have ended up answering myself the next day when I wake up and think about the problem again.

15-r007TU-Display does not turn on when it automatically turns off after closing lid.

I just purchased hp 15-r007TU, Windows 8.1 x84. I'm facing a strange problem. After all initial setup, I put the laptop on to download and install all lates Windows 8.1 patches. The display is set to tuen off automaticaaly after 5 minutes. After 5 min it did turn off as set. But then I can not turn it back on. I pressed all (except power) keys, used touch pad, closed lid and opened but it stayed off. Laptop was on and running as I could see HDD lights flickering, I could hear system sounds on pressign mute/volume keys, also I could toggle WiFi with key. I then pressed power off key to turn Windows off normally. I did turn off. I again turned it on, I could see 'hp' logo with spinning wheel and then nothing. Display is off and I don't see start screen. I have to hard reset (press power button for more than 5 seconds) then display is normal. This happens every time the display turns itself off automatically after set time or I close the lid. Only after hard reset it works normally and I see the start menu.
The power settings I use are:
1. never put system to standby after preset time. (either on battery or AC power)
2. turn display off after 5 min. (both on battery or AC power)
3. when I close lid - do nothing. (both on battery or AC power)
4. when I press power button - shut down
I am using Windows 8.1 x64 with all latest patches installed. BIOS updated to lates available. All latest drivers installed.
I have not yet set password to the system to log in.
Help would be immensly appreciate. The device is still in warrenty if it needs to be replaced.

Hello K1200LT,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the computer will not sleep when you shut down the lid. You seem to have already done most of the troubleshooting I would've suggested.
To be honest, it is either a hardware or software-related issue. To determine this, I would like you to reinstall the operating system. It will clear up any software conflicts and allow you to start fresh.
First, please ensure you backup your files. Here is information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the operating system. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
If the same situation occurs, the computer likely has faulty hardware. At that point, please contact HP phone support. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know what happens. Thanks!
Mario

N73 does not turn off when on Silent

I received my N73 yesterday and it's fine, apart from two issues. The first is that if once turned on, I change the profile to Silent and then either press and hold the power button or press the power button and then select swicth off, the N73 appears to do that ... but doesn't. It seems to enter some sort of standy mode with the time, profile, etc. displayed as a screensaver, but nothing appears to turn it back on again. Same with touching the scroll button: it lights the keypad and the screen comes up white, but nothing else.
When in General profile, it's fine.
Any ideas? (It's on 3 X-Series, if that makes a difference)

I put a support request in on the website, and got called up on Boxing Day(!), suggesting that I take the phone back and got a replacement.
I tried and tried to point out that this wouldn't help, and that it was a software problem, but he was insistent that this was the way I should try and fix it, and that I wasn't listening to his suggestion. No number of times that I told him that his suggestion WOULDN'T WORK, he repeatedly insited that this was the best course of action.
I then asked if he was going to close my support case, and I was told he was. Useless cretins.
Some chap in the shop has since told me to expect a software update towards the end of January or start of Feb. I won't be holding my breath, but at least I'm used to switching my phone onto general before turning it off.

TS4185 camera does not turn off when I turn off facetime

My ipad does not turn sideways when i turne it it just stays straight

someone help

Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Firefox crash reporter window popup won't follow up and report when I click on report crash, and I cannot quit firefox so that I can open the browser, I only get the crash reporter opening

Firefox crashed, when I tried to restart firefox the crash reporter dialogue box opens. Only 2 choices are offered, restart firefox and quit firefox. Neither option will work. I cannot quit firefox and when I opt to restart firefox the only thing I get is another dialogue box opening.
