Windows 7 does not power off properly with bitlocker enabled

Hi
I've got an X200T and installed W7 Enterprise. Things are mostly working fine but i ran into a problem with bitlocker.
When shutting down, the shutdown process but does not power off my laptop battery: bluetooth light stays on, fan stays on, hardrive stay on.
the funny thing is if i force the complete shutdown by pressing the ON/OFF button for several seconds, the next startup run smoothly, the system does not detect any wrong shutdown.
i found a threat relative to this problem elsewhere but nothing on this forum.
i'm wondering if any of yours are able to run W7 enterprise 32bits + X200T + bitlocker without any problem
Let me know
cheers

Hi,
I can not tell you about a correlation between your problem and Bitlocker, but what I can tell is that I also have this issue (from time to time - my system is seldom shut down ^^) on my machine, which is a T400, without using Bitlocker. So maybe this is a BIOS defect, as I don't remember this happening before BIOS version 3.
OSs under which this happened are Vista x64 and Win7 x64.
Greetz!

[Solved] System does not power off, hangs at "System Halted"

Not sure if this is systemd or kernel related, and after the recent round of upgrades it happens on one of my computers and not the other.
I'm using systemd and do have systemd-sysvcompat installed, but no daemons are started with initscripts.
When I power off from the KDE desktop using the poweroff icon in the tray, it gets to the point where it says "System Halted" on the console screen
but the computer does not power off. If I power off using the physical power button on the computer, exactly the same thing happens.
However, if I power off using "sudo systemctl start poweroff.target" it works perfectly.
How can I get it to work properly again in KDE or if I hit the power button? Why does it work perfectly on one computer but not the other?

Okay, this has now been solved. Thanks are due to bgc1954 and Trillby for pointing me in the right direction. Very much appreciated.
My search ability, usually very good, completely failed me on this one. However, a few hints was all I needed.
For the record:
To make the power button poweroff instead of halt: edit /etc/systemd/logind.conf and uncomment HandlePowerKey and make sure its value is set to poweroff.
To make kde poweroff properly, edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and look for the [Shutdown] section. Ensure HaltCmd is uncommented and set to /sbin/poweroff.
As to why the behaviour was different on my other computer, for some reason the relevant kdmrc entry on that computer was commented out. Apparently that makes it work correctly. I don't know why they were different, as I don't recall changing either.

[SOLVED (Arch is a great community)] Thinkpad x220 does not power off

My thinkpad x220 does not power off, it goes through the whole shutdown process as expected until reaching the last step where it displays "> POWER OFF" and just sits there until the battery is empty or I force the power off by using the power button.
I don't know what's wrong or where to start looking for clues.
The same happens when rebooting, it displays "> REBOOTING" and sits there.
Occasionally on reboot attempts I have additional messages from iwlwifi:
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Queue 9 stuck for 10000 ms.
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Current read_ptr 28 write_ptr 29
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: On demand firmware reload
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Could not load the INST uCode section
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Failed to start RT ucode: -110
iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: Unable to initialize device
-edit-
Not sure if this could be related but my thinkpad has the particularity of having a renice x3 mSATA SSD that I installed myself.

This is what you're looking for : https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33872
I've had this issue before, also on my X220. The solution was to remove the e1000e driver before shutdown. I've placed a command that does something like "rmmod e1000e" in a configuration file that runs it on shutdown, and it fixed the problem. I forget where this file is though... Hopefully someone else can fill the gap =]

After upgrade to Yosemite 10.2.2 machine does not power off

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.2.2 the machine does not power down !
Any suggestions !

Try using the Guest account and see if fails to power down there.
If you don't have a gust account then create new account and try doing a shut down from there.

SGE2010 Does not block ports even with STP enabled

Good day,
We are experiencing bridge storms and network slow downs and we believe we have traced the issue down to users plugging a cat 5/6 cable between 2 ports on the wall both wired back to a SGE2010 switch.
So we did a test - we plugged a single short cat 6 cable between 2 ports on a SGE2010, our access switch. Suprisingly, even with STP enabled, the switch DID NOT block one of the ports and in a few minutes the ENTIRE NETWORK was down, as CDP, STP, and ARP traffic became a multi-gigabit storm throughout the network.
Why on earth does this switch not block a port that is obviosly looped?
Every other cisco switch since I started on 1900XL's did this in 1999.
Thanks!

Dear Joe,
STP would conrol multiple links (for redundancy) between switches (endpoints) turning an inactive link on when the active goes down and preventing duplicate active links between them. More about STP at page 258 of the
SFE-SGE2xxx Admin Guide PDF.
The function you might be interested in is called "Storm Control" which limits the number of packets per second so to prevent the switch and the network from storms. See page 82 of the SFE-SGE2xxx Admin Guide PDF available here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/sfe2000/administration/guide/SFE-SGE2xxx_Admin_Guide.pdf
Thanks and regards,
Zsolt

Toshiba 32RV635D does not power off when computer shuts off

Hello,
I've inherited a Toshiba 32RV635D. I have a linux-based PVR (Mythtv) hooked up to the TV via HDMI, plugged into a Nvidia GT610.
With my previous TV, a cheap Vistron LCD panel, it would go into standby when the PC hibernated, and would power-on when the PC came back on.
This required no configuration from me, it just did it. The Toshiba TV doesn't.
With this Toshiba TV, when the PVR powers down the TV screen goes blank but is actually still on - the power led remains green.
Same with the other way round - if I put the TV in standby and power-up the PVR, the TV doesn't respond and I have to manually bring it out of standby.
I've updated the firmware and this hasn't changed anything, and I also can't find anything related to power management within the TVs menus. I've even tried just pulling the HDMI cable from the back of the TV so it has no physical active inputs, and it still doesn't drop to standby.
The Amazon page for the TV mentions power management features, and from what I understand it should behave in the way I was expecting it to.
I've read a lot about HDMI-CEC, but to use this with my existing kit I would need to buy a USB-CEC adapter, and that seems a bit odd seeing as my previous cheap-as-chips TV just did this...
Also, the various utilities within linux would suggest it thinks its making the right noises - running 'xset q' when the computer is idle tells me that 'Monitor is off' when actually it's not.
Any clues?

Ricklous, it may be helpful if you have a look at the url
http://www.toshiba-om.net/LCD/PDF/English/Country_Specific/RV635-323742-English-Specific.pdf
if you wish to download the English edition owners manual for your model, I have not read it through, but it may prove helpful to you.
Incidentally, I have the model 32RL900A, and find that a PVR plugged into the SCART socket claims the screen whenever it turns on while the TV is tuned to a FTA (Free To Air) channel, and then "hands back" the screen when it (the PVR) switches off, and this, I found out, is a characteristic of the SCART system.
I don't know if this information is useful to you, but hope it helps.

IMac does not power off when I shut down

I have an iMac with 10.7 as the operating system. When I power down the machine the screen goes gray and just stays in the gray mode until I hold the power key down manually. It starts up normally, just a "shut down" issue. I recently upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 and had the same problem with 10.6 (not sure that means anything.) I am pretty sure this is not a good way to shut down a Mac. Any ideas on what might be going on here? Thanks.

My iMac with OS X Lion does not share videos properly with my iPad.

My iPad video program show the shared videos from the iMac. But when I attempt to play them, I get an error message that this movie could not be played. The shared videos work fine when I use my MacBook Pro. Since these computers are both authorized, why am I getting this message on the iMac?

Have a look at the boot log messages, using Console.app (also with the "dmesg" command), and see if there's a clue there, or, set the boot process logging to "verbose" (i.e., using TinkerTool System) and find out what's really going on live at boot time. (Also, do you have BootCamp setup, or any ofther bootable partitions?)
Hope this helps.

My HTML5 project does not work in moodle with scorm enabled

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help me with this, I have published my Captivate 6 project in HTML5 with SCORM 1.2 enabled but when I upload it to moodle and try to play the project on an ipad I just get a black screen. When I try to play the project through my browser on my pc it works fine, I have also created previous projects which have HTML5 but no SCORM and they work fine on the ipad. I have also checked that I have the neccessary browser settings on the ipad and it is all up to date. I know that adobe says that the projects should work with HTML5 and SCORM so can anybody help me with what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,
Liz

Hi xswqazi09 and RodWard,
Thank you for your reply.
@Rodward: By showing the above mentioned setting I wanted to test that if these settings works on xswqazi09's end or not. However we can customize settings in captivate based upon our requirement.
@xswqazi09: At my end i din't customize any settings inside scorm just published the output through captivate with the settings (in captivate) as shown above and then uploaded the content to see the result on i-pad deivice.
Thanks

My iphone is frozen. will not power off or respond even after charging.

My iPhone is Frozen. Does not power off as well. What can be done to fix this?

Try a soft reset, press and hold in the homescreen key (Circle button at bottom of the iPhone) and power key (One that locks the screen as well as turns it off and on) at the top, together and hold it till the screen shows the Apple logo, then release the keys, this should hopefully resolve.
Let us know how it goes.

ThinkCentre Edge 71, Power LED does not switch off

Since I have installed win7 64bit, the pc does not switch off after Power down command. For switch off i must hold the power button >10sec.
Thanks for Help.

Hello Walter,
Please update the BIOS which will resolve the issue.
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/thinkcentre_bios/9qjy36usa.exe
You may also try the Windows registry setting. Kindly be careful while editing windows registry.
Have a look at the following registry location (note that you need to invoke regedit.exe with administrative privileges in order to make any changes in this location) and ensure that the value ClearPageFileAtShutdown is set to 0 (if it is set to 1, change the value to 0).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired. I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day.

I have had my iMac for 55 days now and twice I had to power off/on and then It does not power up correctly. I verified my disk and found errors that could not be repaired (errors were associated with boot drive) I erased the drive and restored system back to the previous day. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support and let them deal with it. Allen's already recommended an Apple repair station visit. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you might be eligible for an onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine (depends on where you're located). BTW, the AppleCare Protection Plan's the best warranty policy available for desktop machines. Get it if you don't have it before contacting Apple.
