WinXppro does not shutdown it restarts

Hi everyone !
I' run a KT3 Ultra with an 1800+ and have just installed win XP pro but it's causing me a little bit of grief, the computer will not shut down.
When selecting the shut-down option in the start menu the normal little window appears with: stby, shut-down, and restart, but the stanby option is non selectable (grayed). When selecting the shut-down feature instead of doing what it's supposed to do, the computer restarts. The only way to shut-down is to hold the on /off button for a few seconds. It's driving me bonkers!
I'v got all the latest drivers including the BIOS but i still can't figure out how to fix it.
Does anyone have any ideas before I lose my mind?
Thanks

Computer restarts (does not shutdown) when iPod is connected

This issue has probably been covered in these forums,
but I didn't read anything about this.
My Computer (G4 on Tiger) restarts (does not shutdown) when my iPod Classic 30GB is connected
via USB. Is that normal? Everytime I shutdown my computer and I forget to disconnect my iPod
it restarts. The problem is that my G4 is connected to my sound system and I hear the loud opening BONG sound when the OS boots up. Very annoying, and dangerous for my speaker system...
I know there are third party utilities that enables users to kill that start up sound but if I repair permissions, clean PRAM, etc those settings are removed and the original Apple factory settings come back. Is there any way to kill that sounds PERMANENTLY! with Mac OS Tiger.
Thanks

Hmm... You might want to consider posting this in the OS X forum as well. I know with my MacBook (running Leopard), if I mute the system volume prior to shutting down the computer, the next time I boot up, I don't hear the startup chime.
It's not normal for your computer to restart itself coinciding with iPod actions. Do you have any other software applications installed that interact with the iPod that might be causing this?

PCI wireless card does not work after restart - FM2-A55M-E33

Installed TP-LINK WN751ND wireless PCI card onto FM2-A55M-E33 motherboard. The card works fine after cold start, but does not work after restart. Windows recognises the card, but it gets code 10, cannot start.
BIOS is updated (v.11.1), as well as drivers and Windows 7 64.
I suspect that this might be the issue: Incorrect ASPM Transitions on the GPP Interface as found in ChipsetMotherboard_TechDocs/48671.pdf on AMD's official support site.
Does anyone know more about this issue?

Great! I've done that and now my card shows up. Thing is, when I try to get an IP address, it won't work. Here is the command output:
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change monitor mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_config: change power-save mode: false (implement)
ieee80211 phy0: wl_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
And then it times out and no IP is assigned. The thing is, wpa_supplicant stays alive after this time out, and I am unable to kill it (killall -9 wpa_supplicant won't kill it). At this point if I try to reboot the machine, it will stop at 'Rebooting' and won't go anywhere. If I turn off the wireless card in its switch Linux crashes. If I try to get an ip again (by running dhcpcd) the command will hang and not return to the shell anymore.
I am unable to find any useful information in the logs.
Got any more suggestions?
Thanks! (And sorry to disturb so much)

Snow Leopard sometimes does not shutdown

I've just bought MacBook with pre installed MacOS 10.6.1, then updated it to 10.6.2. Sometimes (approximately 1 of 5 times) it does not shutdown - there are only my wallpaper and active mouse pointer. I've been waiting for a long time, then just turned off it with holding power button. It seems I have a problem after high hard drive activity (a lot of copy, delete and move operation), but I am not sure. Could you help me, please?

To make sure we understand everything correctly, you are saying that when you start up from the Snow Leopard DVD & run its copy of Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, it shows only the DVD installer disc itself in the list on the left of Disk Utility's window? There is nothing else there?
Also, what are you booted from when you try to make an image of the installer DVD, the DVD itself or something else? Are you using Disk Utility or something else to make the image?
This seems very weird for sure. If you were running from some hard disk copy of the OS, I would suspect that its copy of Disk Utility or some OS support file was corrupted, but if you are doing this from the DVD that is extremely unlikely unless the DVD itself is physically damaged.
Apart from that, pretty much the only thing left is a damaged hard drive or other hardware failure in your Mac.

Imac does not shutdown

My IMac does not shutdown through the normal operating procedures. I have to press the reset/shutdown button in the back. Plus it constantly freezes up. I have over 100GB of free space. Total capacity is approx 500GB

Open up Disk Utility, and select Macintosh HD on the left, then click on "Verify Disk" in the bottom right. See if it checks out or not.

My mac will not shutdown or restart. Any help?

My mac will not shutdown or restart, it goes to a grey screen and just hangs there, I have left it overnight and when I have a look in the morning it is still hanging on the grey screen. Any help?

Zap the PRAM and reset the CMS
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
How to Reset Your Mac's SMC
The method for resetting your Mac's SMC depends on the type of Mac you have. All SMC reset instructions require shutting down your Mac first. If your Mac fails to shut down, try pressing and holding the power button until the Mac shuts down, which usually takes 10 seconds or so.
Mac portables with user-removable batteries (MacBook and most MacBook Pros):
Shut down your Mac.
Disconnect your Mac portable from its MagSafe connector.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for at least 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Re-install the battery.
Reconnect the MagSafe connector.
Turn your Mac on.
Mac portables with non-user-removable batteries (MacBook Air and some late 2009 MacBook Pro models):
Shut down your Mac.
Connect the MagSafe power adapter to your Mac and to a power outlet.
On the built-in keyboard (this will not work from an external keyboard), simultaneously press and hold the left shift, control, and option keys while you press the power button. Release all keys at the same time.
Press the power button to start your Mac.
Mac desktops (Mac Pro, iMac, Mac mini):
Shut down your Mac.
Unplug your Mac's power cord.
Press and hold the Mac's power button for 15 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect your Mac's power cord.
Wait five seconds.
Start your Mac by pressing the power button.
Alternative SMC reset for Mac Pro:If you have a Mac Pro that isn't responding to the normal SMC reset as described above, you can force a manual SMC reset by using the SMC reset button located on the Mac Pro's motherboard.
Shut down your Mac.
Unplug the Mac's power cord.
Open the Mac Pro's side access panel.
Just below the Drive 4 sled and adjacent to the top PCI-e slot is a small button labeled SMC. Press and hold this button for 10 seconds.
Close the Mac Pro's side door.
Reconnect your Mac's power cord.
Wait five seconds.
Start your Mac by pressing the power button.

My MacBook Pro does not "chime" on Restart or Startup

My new MacBook Pro (w/ Mac OS 10.7.1) does not "chime" on Restart or Startup. I can get it to "chime" if I perform the PRAM reset procedure but I shouldn't have to do this everytime to get the MacBook Pro to chime on Restart or Startup. Any suggestions to fix this problem?

I just updated my OS to 10.7.2 ... and then, I tried your latter suggestion (in the "Sound Preferences", I unchecked the mute checkbox to the right of the output volume slider). I did a "Restart" and I heard the "chime". YEAH! I had tried the SMC reset several times before and that didn't work. Thanks for your suggestion about unchecking the "mute" checkbox in the Sound Preferences. I'll try some more "Restarts" and "Startups" over the next few days and see if your suggested fix continues to work.

My Mac does not shutdown properly and is all around glitchy. Any solution?

When Lion became available I downloaded it immediately. I also extracted the install DMG and burnt it to a DVD and a bootable USB stick (thank God).
I have a new iMac 2.5GHz i5 base model (500GB HD 4GB RAM) and I was using Snow Leopard and my Mac shutdown quickly, booted up quickly, and I never had any glitches in the GUI. After upgrading to Lion my system took forever to bootup and shutdown. Even if I don't tick the box to "Reopen windows when logging back in". Sometimes it takes 2-3 minutes to boot, and 1-2 minutes to shutdown. I timed SL 10.6.8 before upgrading and bootup was about 40 seconds and shutdown was about 5 seconds to instant.
Also, after Lion was installed, all the page swipes in Safari and from full screen apps was extremely glitchy and sluggish. Sometimes the screen would get stuck between the apps or an app and desktop. Sometimes the iMac would just plain freeze with the beachball of death. So I thought I had something leftover from SL that was fudging my system. So I booted from the USB install image I made, re-partitioned the HD and reformatted it (I re-partitioned to get rid of the hidden recovery partition and the bootcamp partition). Then I re-installed Lion as a fresh copy. I re-installed all my apps but didn't use bootcamp or any VMs yet.
Now after a clean install, my GUI is no longer glitchy or sluggish. Transitions between fullscreen apps and the desktop is smooth. However, my shutdown and startup issues still remain (and are a little worse). If I tell the computer to shutdown, no matter I click "reopen windows" or uncheck "reopen" windows, it can take 1-2 minutes to shutdown. Also, after being off all night, when I boot my computer, sometimes it will come to the login screen and ask for my password (but I have set it up for automatic login and not to prompt for password on screensaver or wakeup also). I also did not encrypt my drive. So I cannot figure out why it asks me to login. After I give it my password and sign in, the menu bar is not translucent and the airport does not function. Then I must restart Lion and everything is okay again (except it takes 2-3 minutes to reboot again).
I already tried repairing permissions, I downloaded the beta for the latest Onyx last night and cleared out all the caches and told it to verify and rebuild all the scripts. Only about 10 things were repaired in the permissions list. The disk passed verification, and I am not getting any mysterious messages in console. So what is going on with booting and sometimes requiring me to login with a password and booting into a system with messed up menus and non functional airport? I don't want to start my iMac, login, and then restart every time I want to use it.
I have been working with Macs since OS 8 and I have currently have 2 PPC Macs running 10.5.8, and 2 Intel Macs (one is still on 10.6.8 until I solve this Lion problem). I have even played with hackintoshes on my netbooks and in VMware before. I am pretty versed in OS X, but I am at a loss to figure out what is going on with Lion. I don't see any unusual messages in the console or any error messages. When on the phone with Apple care they insist the shutdown issue is not a problem. But the startup concerns me most, since it asks me to login, the I must restart anyways to get it back. It acts like a Windows sytem waking up from hibernation and not loading all the proper drivers.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be concise about the issue. Anyone have any suggestions? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks.

The funniest part of the whole situation, Apple Care explained it to me as some kind of feature. The told me how to adjust the time when my computer sleeps and recommend I don't shut it down, let it sleep and "instant wake". I would bet if you called them about your Macbook, they would suggest you just close the lid and let it sleep rather than shutting it down.
Basically shutdown and restart have a problem and the solution is to not shutdown is how they explained it to me. They kept saying buzz words like "instant on" and "fast wakeup". My computer already could sleep and wakeup fast, but now shutdown and restart don't work right. I called them 3 times about it, but since they use these buzzwords, sounds like Lion is meant for a Macbook Air or a Mac with an SSD. If you have a normal hard disk, some of the saving/versions/resume features take too long to be written to the disk on shutdown. And when you start again, it takes a long time to reload the system to it's previous point.
Even if I uncheck the box to reopen windows on next start, it reopens them anyways.
If they can't give me a better explaination or some kind of fix, I will have to go back to Snow Leopard. I use my Mac in a production environment and depend on stability. They assured me before I upgraded that it would be stable and all the new saving and versions features could help my productivity. So far it's not helping me and downright annoying. You need to close all your windows before you close the program... if you have 5 windows open in terminal or textedit... every time you launch, they will launch all those windows. I just really want versions, not resume it seems.
But I can deal with it opening a million windows, just can't take it getting stuck on booting or not shutting down properly. This is a "feature" that should be fixed. LOL

My MacBook will not shutdown or restart

When attempting to shutdown or restart all apps. close, I get the message that says system will close/shutdown in a certain amount of seconds, but the process is not completed. I've tried holding down the power button as well. This does not work. Any suggestions?

hmmm...try repairing permissions using disk utility.

hope it works.

Cluster node does not shutdown after "received shutdown"

Hi,
We put together an automated restart process that restarts cluster nodes across multiple servers. To shutdown a node, we use the Coherence MBeanConnector and invoke stop on object: name=Management,nodeId=<member id>. This works for most cases where member's log output shows "received shutdown", partition transfer messages and after the last primary partitions have been transferred the VM exits.
For one node however, the VM did not exit. From looking at the log file for this particular node, the primary partitions were transferred, the distributedCache thread stops showing output, but the Cluster thread continues to show activity.
Note that this node was the last VM to stop on the given server.
Has anyone seen this before or ideas on why this particular node did not exit after receiving the shutdown message?
Thanks!
Marcel.

Hi Marcel -
Please take a thread dump (via "kill -3" or "ctrl-break") on the VM that does not stop correctly. Coherence does not shut the VM down; it simply shuts itself down. If a non-daemon thread is running on the VM, then it may not exit. However, we won't know that until we see the thread dump.
Peace,
Cameron Purdy | Oracle Coherence

Microphone does not work after restarting computer

I just received the Creative Xmod soundcard yesterday after using an Icemat siberia usb headset sound card for a couple months. The sound is a lot better with the creative soundcard however, if I restart my computer and go back into ventrilo, my microphone does not work. It doesnt make any sound when I talk into it (almost as if it muted itself) but it hasnt. I check my sound settings and everything is the way it should be.....but the mic isnt producing any sound. It is not my headphones that is causing the problem because I have never had this problem with my old icemat soundcard. I am currently using :
Sennheiser PC350 headset
Windows XP Home Edition
The newest version of Ventrilo

That is how I have ventrilo setup. A friend of mine said I should Mux set to Record Control, but it only gives me the option for Wave In =/

After upgrade firefox does not ask for restart

On Linux Mint when Firefox is opened and meanwhile operating system package manager upgrades Firefox, then FF does not notify me that it needs restart.
I notice it since some extension stops working. Later I have checked package manager logs and see, that FF had been updated. Wasn't in older versions so that FF notified me that restart is needed for firefox?
Is it a bug or I have some setting missing. I need notification window be visible as long as user closes it or firefox is restarted...

Looks like that yea. I found out that for Ubuntu there is xul-ext-ubufox package which should do almost needed thing. I will install it into mint.
Integrates the browser with Ubuntu to:
* Enable searching for missing plugins from Ubuntu software catalog
* Add the following options to the Help menu - Get help on-line - Help
translating Firefox - Ubuntu Release Notes
* Set homepage to Ubuntu Start Page
* Display a restart notification after upgrading Firefox
* Add ask.com to the search engines.
