Zen Micro...turns itself on after shutting d

I scanned a few pages of threads and did not see this issue posted, but I apologize if I missed and am repeating something..
Anyway, after installing the .0.03 firmware, my device seems to power itself on about 2-3 seconds after I turn it off.
This happens consistently, whether I turn it off, or if it shuts itself down from being idle.
I did the disk repair and rebuilt the library, but does not seem to have any effect.
Also tried the standard reboot from removing battery for 0sec and powering back on.
No matter what, the thing turns itself back on
Anyone else having this issue or have any recommendations?

forgot to say this means it gets stuck in a continual cycle of turning itself off from being idle, turning itself on, turning off, etc etc. which kills the battery. guess i'll just have to leave the battery out for now

IdeaPad U430 touch turns itself on after shut down

Hello,
My laptop keeps turning itself on. If it is NOT plugged in, it reboots itself immediately after shutting down (10 seconds). If I leave it plugged in, it reboots itself overnight, or if I unplug the charger (while it is turned off).
It is not related to any wake timers (disabled), I even completely reset my computer and wiped all my files - no luck, still occurs. I tried downloading a new BIOS but it failed to install. I tried updating other drivers, but most of mine are newer than what is available for download on the support site.
I ran a system scan and there were no corrupt files, no viruses or malware detected (McAfee, Windows Safety Scanner, and Webroot).
I think this is a firmware issue. I disabled AOAC, and still had the issue. Could it be a hardware issue? My PlLenovo is about 7 months old.
Please help! I'm out of troubleshooting ideas.

Try resetting the system management controller.
Many of us rarely shut the Mac off. We just put it to sleep. It is built to run 24/7

Zen Micro turning itself

I bought a Zen Micro around 2 weeks ago. It has been turning itself on all the time recently, even whilst sitting there in my hand it does so if I'm at college I have to take out the battery for a listen on the way home, frustrating. Is there any way to fix this problem? Also my headphones are knackered, sound keeps going really low and can only hear vocals at times. Any help much appreciated.

I have heard of the micro turning off but turning on by itself? Hmm..What i suggest is that you format your micro and save all your songs as backup. If the problem still persists, return the micro and see what can be done. It will either be replaced or it will be sent for repairs.

Zen Micro's Battery flat after 14 hours of being turned of

Now I'm confused, I fully charged my Zen Micro twice and then turned it off, and overnight the battery is fully drained. This cant be right can it's
I know others have experience the rundown issue, but making it sooo flat that it wont even turn on?
Do you think I have a faulty Zen or Battery?

Check the system info on the player itself and check for the version of firmware you have. It will show up as v .XX.XX Anything older than v .0.03 needs to be updated. A lot of battery draining issues were resolved with this firmware update. Also some people have said that keeping the headphones unplugged keeps power from draining as quickly while the player is off because the amp stays powered up.
If the player drains significantly after these two things I'd contact Creative SUpport about a replacement

Why does my MacBook turn itself on after being shut-down completely?

I've noticed recently that when I get up in the morning my computer is on after I completely shut it down in the evening. Has someone hacked into my computer? If so how do I check to find out?

Welcome back to Apple Support Communities.
Check System Preferences, Hardware, Energy Saver, Power Adapter to see if 'Wake for Ethernet network access' is checked. (MacBook 2,1 with OS X 10.6.7 illustrated below).
If you leave your computer plugged in to Ethernet, and/or AirPort wireless turned on when you shut down, the computer will wake when it receives an incoming Ethernet network signal. Your router or WiFi router sends signals fairly frequently to see if your computer still attached.

Zen Micro switches itself back on - any solutions plea

Morning All...
Another question from a newbie.........please don't shout if this is on the board somewhere as I couldn't find this problem........
My Zen Micro has been perfectly well behaved for most of its life but has recently begun to switch itself back on - even if I lock it in the off position. Customer support have been rather unhelpful so far with only standard replies about software probs. This fault happens with both the batteries so I'm guessing its a hardware fault. It doesn't get over used & hasn't been mistreated - it just started doing this of its own free will ! There's a ghost in my machine!
I've done a search on the board & can only find problems switching on - I have the complete opposite! It means the battery keeps draining & I don't realise until I pick it up to use it..... It takes about 4 attempts to shut down completely & even then, I don't trust it to stay off all day......
Has anyone else had this problem?
Does anyone know how to solve it or will it require a replacement maybe? It's still in warrenty but about 0 months old..........
Many thanks for any ideas.......
Mach

Hi
Many thanks for such a fast response!
To reply;
. I didn't know it had an alarm! So it seems highly unlikely (I hope!) that I have set it. Can you tell me how its done so that I can check that I haven't........
2. Where is the customer support based in the uk please? the email replies have been less than helpful as they include suggestions like this....& they have no other contact info than the email.
Plug out the headphone then switch off your player.After which plug in the headphone again.Does the player switch itself on?Then switch off your player with the headphone connected,After which plug out the headphone.Does your player switch itself on?
I'm not the most technically minded of people but I'd already advised them that this fault occurs no matter which battery is installed which indicates to me that its hardware at fault & so how can taking the headphones out solve that? (It doesn't by the way!) 3. Perhaps I wasn't clear about the problem - it doesn't switch back on at a set time - it does this the moment I've switched it off & keeps doing it until it gives in about 4 or 5 attempts later then it will stay off....or else I just take the battery out which is a drastic option but the best I could think of stuck on a train!
I love my little micro & have persuaded others to buy them as well but if its going to throw a wobbly like this then I can't recommend it anymore........ : (
Has anyone else seen this problem.... It just seems so weird!
I would refer to customer support if they would give me a UK phone number & address.......so I could talk to a human being.........
Any info on this please?
thanks once again!

Update: Video - Canon 6D turns itself off after a few shots with fully charged battery

Update: I uploaded my video to youtube, please comment:
http://youtu.be/3PNLUYd8g7A
TIA and pardon me for my English.
I posted this originally at another forum, and somebody suggested me to post it here as well, to get more help.
Long story short, I purchased a brand new Canon 6D from B&H on Oct 24th, 2013. From early december, the camera starts to shut itself off randomly and displaying empty battery. I found the camera constantly shuts itself off after 20 - 100 continuous shots with a FULLY charged battery (right off charger, showing 8.23V using multimeter, and showing 98% in battery info).
The camera will just turn itself off in the middle of shooting, showing empty battery int the shoulder window. The solution is simple, open the battery door, then close it again, no need even to pull the battery.
So, I contacted Canon support, sent the camera to the VA service facility, waiting for it be repaired. As an engineer myself, I understand things fail, and I thought this is such an easy issue to reproduce, anybody should be able to repro it.
Couple of days later, I received a phone call to send my accessories in, no problem, debugging needs more info, that's normal. I sent my lens and stuff in. I unfortunately had to bear the cruel fact that I don't have a decent camera for the holiday, though I have a backup.
After a long wait, on 12/28the, the accessories were delivered at 9:35am. At 10am, they called me, they were sending the camera back. No issue at all. I was like, have you tested AT ALL? They didn't care, sending the camera back regardless.
I received the camera on Jan 2nd, and saw the same issue on that day. Of course, it was NOT fixed at all.
I googled really hard, somebody said he had similar issue but it was a defective battery, so I got a brand new Canon battery, unfortunately, the same issue pops up again.
Ok, the only choice for me is to send it back again. But this time I am totally amazed by Canon.
I sent the camera in again with my lens and battery. Also, a video showing the issue on a standalone CF card (I know 6D does not take CF, just to put the video on it).
Couples of days later, they called asking for accessories, I was like, what accessories, I don't have any more.
Then the camera sit in their facility for a few days for nothing. All of sudden I received a phone call on Monday morning, said it is ready. The camera has no issue at all.
I called, asked whether they have watched the video, they told me two technicians, including a senior one, was not able to upload the video to the computer. I was like, what the hell? why the heck you need to upload it to the computer, find a card reader, plug the card in, double click, how simple is that?
I talked to the service manager over the phone, he told me that there is nothing he could do, if their technician said so. They have decided to send my camera back, NOT fixed, again. I esclated the issue again, but haven't heard anything back yet.
Honestly, I am totally pissed, how stupid can they be? I included a letter with detailed steps on how to reproduce this issue. As an engineer myself, I know how easy to reproduce this issue. But what shocked me is that they don't even know or they didn't even bother to watch the video. In the same letter, I asked/begged them to contact me if they cannot reproduce the issue instead of just sending it back unfixed.
Guys, any other ways to get their attention? I already filed a BBB complaint. For a brand new camera of 3 months old, it has been in Canon's repair shop for almost a month. Leave to say that I missed the most importand holiday season in the year. This is simply not acceptable.

"The camera usually shuts itself off after 20-100 continuous shot, ..."
By this you mean your are in continuous drive? You just hold the shutter release down until it stops shooting?
"... the shoulder LCD shows a ..."
What is the "shoulder" LCD?
Sorry for the extra questions but I am trying to understand exactly what you are going through and why Canon said it is OK.
Canon did not say it was all right if it is not.
You are, also saying, if you use the camera, just for a single snap shot, say several in a session, it is OK? Right?
It only shuts down when on continuous drive or video?

Zen Micro locks up on the Shutting Down screen -intermittent prob

Since buying the Zen Micro in December, it has failed to shut down after I push the shut down button. It shows the SHUTTING DOWN screen, but that stays on forever (until battery dies or I pull the battery). The problem is intermittent. Sometimes the unit shuts down correctly. After nothing would fix it, Creative sent a replacemnt. Well the replacement does the same thing. I just upgraded to the new Firmware that came out this week, but that didn't solve the problem. It must be something that I am doing wrong. There is no pattern to when it will shut down and when it won't (plugged in versus not, different batteries, different screens,etc). Has anyone else had this problem?

I have contacted Creative Customer Support and as usual all you get back is an automated email telling you to reboot this and reload that. I then contacted Creative in Sydney and they have told me to bring it in and they will swap it for another unit. If the next one does it I will demand a refund. I will have to check out a few Ipod forums to see if these peole are having the troubles Creative customers seem to have. I was going to ask for an upgrade to the Zen Microphoto but I can see by this forum that they are full of bugs as well. Technology is a wonderful thing.

My mobile skype keeps turning itself on after forc...

Well,
What can I say? Yet another inconvenient feature that Skype has purposely added I think? No no Skype. No need to send over a representative to apologize for the inconvenience. I am fully aware that you are highly unappologetic about the horrible features that you force upon your customers.
Every time I have a legit complaint about Skype I think it's a mistake only to find out it's INTENTIONAL.
I basically had to uninstall skype from my phone because it keeps booting itself up after I blatantly turned it off. And as a result when a call crashes on my desktop or my laptop the call is redirected to my mobile and uses up an HUGE amount of data on my phone and after it cost me more money because it forced my data to roll over the limit on my plan the only option was clearly to remove it entirely.
Oh skype don't worry you also don't have to apologize for forcing people to update. Because clearly forcing people to do calls in high quality was the answer as people with old computers clearly don't need skype anyways right? My sister just switched to another messanger because you seem to think that with each update it's best to make skype a heavier and heavier CPU MAMMOTH. Yep effeciency is clearly not your goal. Not even giving people the option to lower the call quality to make it easier for older or slower computers isn't needed either! Nope! Also my Samsung Galaxy S3 couldn't even RUN skype without crashing not even just the instant messanger. That phone came out 2 years ago? You know I guess if you can't have the newest and best technology you obviously don't deserve to talk to your family in another country? Because you're not rolling in the doe right? It's obvious which demographics you're aiming for! You clearly don't want poor people using your software!
It seems like with each update you just make your technology more obnoxious.

Okay, let me see if I understand this correctly. You are pressing the sleep/wake button to put the phone to sleep, and instead it is powering off? When you tap on the home button, the phone will not wake up?
Are you just tapping the button or holding it down for a period? You can try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

Airport Turning itself off after 10.5.7 Update

Ever since the updated to 10.5.7 my MBP is acting crazy with lock ups and airport turning itself off. The only fix I can find for this is to reboot the Macbook Pro and then it will work again for a few minutes before turning itself off. Any ideas how to fix this problem?

Thank you for the link.
It's deliciously ironic that I'm typing this reply for the second time now because after composing it the first time, and failing to glance at the Airport connection icon first, I clicked "Post Message" and received "Safari cannot open the page http://discussions.apple.com/... because your computer isn't connected to the internet" and after refreshing the page lost what I had written (should have tried the back button first).
Lovely.
As I was saying, I have little confidence that Apple will find or fix the problem in a timely fashion. Yes, maybe they will, but there are other examples (wireless keyboard and mouse connectivity under Leopard) where they took months or longer to release a fix, so I'm thinking I don't want to hold my breath, especially if this issue is only affecting a small portion of the population (I haven't heard a loud hew and cry from the masses).
I'm not looking forward to rolling back either, and given my current lack of free time I may reluctantly wait for the next update just to see if it addresses the issue, especially since after I go to the trouble of rolling back to 10.5.6 I don't know when, if ever, I'll feel brave enough to accept another OS update.

IMac turns itself off after an attempted RAM upgrade

I took the 1GB from the memory slot and installed
2x2GB which didn't work so replaced the original
1GB and now it shuts itself off after about ten
seconds of attempting to reboot. I've tried all
combinations but nothing works.

Doug,
I work as a sys admin at a college, we bought 90, 20" I Macs last November, we have had 3 break so far with the same problem, and one with a failed motherboard as a result of a bad power supply.
I have been a mac user for over 10 years and to have machines break after 2 months of use is shocking for a company that previously had such a good reputation for quality products.
This is a known issue, and the company that fixes our machines under applecare has admitted that these machines have a faulty power supply. I know the Rev A models had issues with power supplies, but the fact that all the 20" models have a 150 watt power supply doesn't help as this is not enough power to run a power pc plus 20" screen etc.
If i were you i would get it sorted straight away as other people have had this issue and it will only get worse if you dont get the power supply replaced.
Regards,
Kevin.

IMac won't stay shutdown, turns itself on after shutdown

hey i leave my imac on all the time and have done s since i bought it but i figure its eating up a fair bit of power, so i decided to start switching it off at night and when im not home etc... but when i shut it down (apple>shutdown) it turns off, and within a couple of minutes turns itself back on again.
im running the latest version of snow leopard and have a 24" iMac - white.
i made sure wake on ethernet was unticked
i have formatted and this problem persists.
i have even disconnected the ethernet cable just in case, still starts back up.
if anyone can suggest some things to try.

Hi j4y Gr4y
Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
+1. Shut down the computer.+
+2. Unplug the computer's power cord.+
+3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
+4. Release the power button.+
+5. Attach the computers power cable.+
+6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.+
Then if it still starts up on it's own, you may have a faulty power button that needs to be serviced.
