Z10 - Auto Power off like the 9800 had?

My old Torch9800 had an auto-power off function which was really useful at night (and helped save battery life overnight) - I can't see where to do this on the Z10 - has that function been 'developed out'?

As it's a community support forum there isn't any official way to make suggestions, however I suspect staff from BlackBerry do monitor these and will likely make note of the issues that generate a lot of replies.

Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off

My Canon 60D does not resume after auto power off. It shows the empty battery icon when I press the shutter button, even the battey is fully charged. If I remove the battery and insert back it will resume to work. Any one had the same experience and know how to resolve it?

The power switch is actually a "software" switch. It's not like a light switch in that it doesn't actually provide or deprive the camera of power... only removing the battery will deprive the camera of power. This is why it doesn't actually just go dark when you switch off power... instead you'll usually see it perform a sensor clean cycle and then power down. The camera is technically in a kind of "sleep" mode monitoring the switch. If a Canon camera ever seems to lock up and ignore all input, the battery should be temporarily removed to "reboot" the camera. There is no "setting" in a camera that can configure it to ignore buttons. Although... if the camera is in an automatic mode, some input is deliberately ignored to make it easier to use the camera. Put the mode dial in a "creative zone" mode (P, Tv, Av, or M) and all buttons and menus should be accessible. You might try connecting the camera via USB cable to your computer and then attempt to control the camera via the Canon EOS Utility to see if that works. If the camera responds fine to the computer control, then likely the camera's main board and circuits are working fine and it may just be a wiring problem -- as if some cable simply isn't getting a very solid connection. If this is a wiring issue, you are probably better off sending it in for service.

MacBook Pro Retina 15" Auto Power Off

Hi,
I have "auto power off" issue with my newly bought MacBook Pro Retina 15".
This problem is very annoying, my MacBook Pro just auto power off, where I check the battery is 100% fully charged.
The first encountered was about a month ago, the night I cannot turn on my MacBook Pro at all, the next day I sent it back to Apple Service Centre. The technician open up the bottom part, reset the battery by removing the battery cable, plug it back. Then turn on and perform some diagnosis test.
It was working fine for about 2 weeks, and now the "auto power off" happen everyday.
I have repartition my SSD drive to 2 partitions using BootCamp and installed with Windows 7 x64.
At first, this problem happen when I boot into Windows 7 with BootCamp, at first, I thought this problem is due to Windows Drivers, and I have no choice but purchase Parallels Desktop, to run my Windows with OSX 10.8.2. After the Parallels installed, I upgrade my second partition to run Windows 7 concurrently with OSX, it was running fine on the first day! And I thought it has solve my problems, unfortunately the next day, this problems occurs again.
I suspect this is due to hardward failure, something to do with the battery. Looks like the drivers is telling the Operating System, battery is 0%, and it just turn off itself.
Anyone experience this? Please share your experience or advice what should I do next?
Regards,
Dave

Hey Dave. Yes yes yes! Try reading through the thread below. Especially at the end. It has to do with an 'autopoweroff' setting that appears to be new and annoying.
When plugged in, goes from sleep to hibernate after 4 hours of sleep (or 14,400 seconds).
Very easy to turn off.
This after many hours of research and discussion with no help from the folks at Apple.
Basically, to query the settings (enter this from Terminal):
pmset -g | grep autopoweroff
You'll see the autopoweroff set to '1' and autopoweroffdelay set to 14400.
To actually turn that 'feature' off:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
(then enter your Mac password)
Now it will just sleep when plugged in and not go into hibernate.
You can also tell the Mac how long before it powers off via the autopoweroffdelay setting (if you like this silly feature), but I just turned the sucker off.
Here is the thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20819713?ac_cid=tw123456#20819713
Hopefully, that's the same problem you have, and it will quickly fix it.

Bryan...

7D auto power off not working

My Canon EOS 7D is not turning itself off even though I have auto power off set for one minute. I think this problem began after I added a battery grip to the camera. Has anyone else had this problem?
gc

Is it a Canon battery grip, or a third party? I ask because I've heard of some strange things occuring when using non-OEM battery grips.
If it's a Canon battery grip, I'd try "rebooting" the camera to see if that clears the problem. Do you know how to do that? If not, it's pretty easy. Just remove all the batteries (including the date/time battery), turn the camera on and press the shutter release button once. It won't fire, but this will drain all remaining power from the system and force the camera to reboot. Put the batteries back in and check to see if the date/time needs to be reset... if so, you got a good reboot. (You might have to reset some of your other settings, too.)
Hopefully that helps. Otherwise, I'm at a loss.

Auto power off

I seem unable to modify the auto power off on my Officejet Pro8100 ePrinter. I've looked at the drivers, and it tells me that if it prints I don't need to do anything else. The software says it's 'PrinterProxy Version 9 (447)', and I'm using OSX 10.9.1 (Mavericks) USB, not wireless.
The instructions don't match what I have - I don't see an 'advanced settings' or 'maintenance' tab.

Under menu - settings- system - media client (for Quantum for other STB should be similar).
Set to none. Note: may need to scroll up to see none.

DVD drive auto power off on T410

Bought new T410 a week ago. While trying to make recovery disc noticed my DVD drive is always powered off, even when machine is plugged in. To turn power on either you push side button on drive to open the case and it will turn on after almost a minute or can turn power on by right click on mouse. Is this a power saving default setting never heard of it before. Problem is if you are not able to put the disc in and able to play it within a minute it will turn itself off again and won't turn on again until I close all the programs and retry. While trying to change DVD during making of recovery disc it turned itself off if I was not able to pop the next DVD in and play it within a minute time. Very frustrating. Spend 7 DVD's to complete recovery program as every time it turns off and I have to restart again. Checked power saving setting- Battery stretch is disabled so that`s not the issue. First of all Is this a normal feature with Lenovo. This is my first thinkpad. Why doesn`t it gives me a warning prior to turning itself off. Is there a option where I can increase the time line for it to stay active. Like the machine overall except this annoying feature. Called the technical support they suggested to replace the DVD drive and have shipped a new DVD drive. Will try once I receive it but not sure if DVD drive is the problem. Any suggestions.

Funny timing that I read this now, since I JUST finished reading someone describing how to disable the auto-off feature on the optical disc! Click here for the directions: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=6087314&postcount=7
Very frustrating. Did they not even try to create backup CDs once? The exact same problem is happening for me. This link is not valid for my model (T410 with Win 7 Professional 64-bit). It says to set "Automatic Optical Drive Power Off to Disabled" but I have no option named "Automatic Optical Drive Power Off" in the power settings.
I agree the system is great, but now I hope this is not a sign of other problems to come with Lenovo's tech support and software.
Anyone figure this out?

IMac just stops, turns off like the plug was pulled.

My iMac is a 17in G5, running 10.3.9, with 2MB of aftermarket RAM installed (by me over a year ago) and lately, it just turns off. It doesn't freeze, and it doesn't warn me. It just turns off like the plug was pulled. When I try to start it back up, no problem. Boots back up like normal....though if you look closely, a little "?" appears ever so quickly in the folder in the middle of the screen before I see the Mac happy face.
I bought it new new 3.5 years ago (no more apple care) and it has lived a pretty easy life, until my little one started walking and climbing. Since then, my little guy has turned the power strip off probably 20 or 30 times, thus killing power to the computer without shutting it down properly. Also, I am encountering a seeminly unrelated problem with my disc drive. It no longer runs or burns DVDs. CDs, no problem. DVDs, no comprendo.
Things I have tried.
I bought an external DVD drive. One problem fixed. For the random shut donw problem, the only thing I could think to do was to unplug everything, wait 15 minutes, and then plug everything back in. That made no difference.
Anybody have a suggestion? Is my computer nearing the end of its life? So soon? Right after apple care expired? Oh no!
thanks for any help,
Adam

About auto power off function

Hello again guys,
long time no see ,since yesterday as far as I remember
Talking about Auto Power Off function , is there anyone that can tell us , it could be used on long terms - many days for example - as long as no one push the shutter or any button to wake the "beast" ?
This function completly shut down the camera or it's a kind of sleep function and some parts remain power supplied ?
Thanks,
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It's not completly shutdown. However, it should not cost too much power if any at all. I have it on for a week. Unless you turn on the GPS. With GPS turned on, even if you turn off the camera, it is still active.

Does iPod not auto power-off when audio is paused?

Hello,
I fully recharged the iPod. I played about an hour and a half of audio. i am called to dinner, so I hit the Pause button. 2 hours later, I come back to the iPod, and the battery guage shows almost empty. And the screen was still on. (Backlight was off). The hold switch was at the off position.
Doesn't the iPod auto-power off (screen goes off) a few minutes after pressing the pause button?I'm afraid that it's because my iPod's display was still on that the battery was depleted.
(Then again, I may be wrong in saying that the screen was still on when I got to the iPod 2 hours later, maybe my finger touched the scrollwheel upon holding the iPod. I'm not sure. If this was the case, I still don't know why the battery level shows empty.)
For you guys, how long does it take for your iPod's screen to auto-power-off?
I have a theory.
The iPod won't auto-power-off (and therefore save battery life) if an audio is set to pause.
Is this theory correct or not?

My 30 Gig 5G iPod did the exact same thing the other day, which would've been shortly after I updated it to 1.2. I did a reset and after that it's been behaving normally, shutting down after being paused for awhile. So, try a reset and see how it goes.

MacPro - External FW800 drives & auto power off

Hi, I have a new Mac Pro and am using two LaCie FW800 external drives with auto power off facility however when I power my Mac Pro down there is still power going to the FW800 ports as the drives down shut down. I am new to macs so is there any config setting to get round this issue?
Cheers
Paul

Don't believe there is but the power to the firewire port is a built in specification.
You could go to the Apple Developer site and look at their firewire SDK (there's many firewire applications, what they do I don't really know. Little too scarry for me.

How to disable power off when the phone is locked with pass code.

Can anyone teach me how to disable power off function when the phone is locked? With this , user is able To trace the iPhone when it goes missing. Besides, users will have enough time to remote wiped.

i also had my phone stolen ... the first thing they did was turn off the phone so i couldnt track them.. you should need to enter your passcode in order to turn off the phone. i dont care if you cant do a hard reset.. i would rather loose the ability to do a hard reset for the added security .. besides without hard reset if it jammed badly i would just wait ontill the battery died.

Can my USB Drive be configured to power off when the iMac is powered off?

I am using a Lacie 500GB external USB drive. The drive remains powered on when my iMac is powered off. Is there any way to have the drive automatically power off?

Hello Jack
The s.o.p. for shutdown should be to eject the drive, turn it off then shutdown the iMac. The s.o.p for startup should be to startup the iMac then turn on the external HD. Many external HD manufactures do support a sleep function that allows the drive to sleep when the iMac is sleeping.

Auto Power off ?? why ?

Hi guys,
I've just switched over to an Mac last november
Machine is awesome so far recently I've encounter a problem,it happen on wednesday and today. I was scrolling thru my iphoto 6000 plus pics inside and also running Photoshop Cs 2. All was fine until abt 25 mins later, my mac juz power off by itself.i pressed the power button and it still does not come back.
It only came back to life after abt 20 mins and that happen to both instances.
Any kind soul can share with me whats the way to resolve this issue ? Thanx in advance!
I am using an intel iMac 20inches ,1 gb ram. I've not installed and extra components/hardware in my mac yet.

I sounds to me to be a hardware issue with the power supply on your Mac. No user advice really useful here. Best take it to your local Authorized Service Provider for warranty replacement/repair.
