Can I turn off or put the PC to sleep?

Hello

I had sleep problems and the technician told me to not use sleep often.

I use the PC daily between 09:00 - 14 am (standby) then I usually put on for a hour

at about 20:00 and put it back to sleep.

What the expert said I should do?

Thank you!

Hello KarlSu,

While sleep is a useful option, I'm afraid, I'm agree with the technician told you. To be honest I much prefer to turn off my computer when I have finished using the PC. If I know I'll be away from my PC for a period of time, say half an hour or more, then yes I'll use the sleep option, but in general as soon as I finished my session the PC is turned off completely.

  • The windows of the bar of Windows are already a form of tabs, so I need them in Firefox. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox?

    RE: TABS ARE WINDOWS!
    The windows bar already functions as a tab bar. These tabs are called "windows". So, I find windows superfluous Firefox tab. How can I turn off completely from the 23 of Firefox? I don't need to what are essentially the bars of TWO Windows covering the entire width of the image of my screen! I already have a Windows bar at the bottom of my screen, and if I really wanted to, I could change ITS position towards the top of the screen, so that it would LOOK at the windows of Firefox tabs bar. Firefox TABS are, essentially, a SECOND bar Windows superfluous.

    Here are my reasons why I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox, Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I love and admire Firefox intended to Mozilla on good security for Personas Firefox Add-on and for free use of Firefox in the Add on Ad-Block, which, as you know, has the merit of separate to reduce the size of the screen - the last is my reason for wanting to get rid of "windows" Firefox SUPERFLUOUS tabs bar. I'm terribly sick companies forcing bars (most representative of marketing campaigns, trying to sell me something) in my browser (and in my throat) whenever I download something. (In case you haven't guessed, I have deliberately talking about your bar of Firefox tabs as a '' windows' tabs Firefox bar', because the TABS are WINDOWS!)

    You can also have an addon to open new tabs in a new window.

  • How can I turn off screen at the right time?

    Hello.

    This my first post here so please, be gentle.

    I have a Lenovo Ideacentre running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with 4 GB of RAM desktop all-in-one.

    The display turns off always 15 minutes regardless of what happens in the "Power Options" which is very frustrating. I understand that the default setting of 15 minutes is used for laptops to save the battery, but it is also used on my all-in-one, even though I normally put the time in 5 hours Power Options. I can not also bring the display back unless I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete. I'm not sure but I think that this problem started after installing the latest Windows Update.

    Does anyone know of a solution to the please my problem? (I just want to be able to adjust the display time I want it to be and is limited to 15 minutes to an hour).

    andjen

    Excellent, well that was my first guess at least.

    It seems strange to me that the screen saver option set initially, but later it was power settings (no screen saver) who came back.  So I will at this stage to guess that changing the value of the new screen saver is more would all good, no?  If something has changed your power options, but this isn't a strategy of e-mail server and is not the screen saver.

    I think that at this point I could try to create a new power plan (link on the left side of the power options page) and see if activate a new plan of costs it will keep coming back.  Even if something like an old registry value exists, it should apply to the former regime.

  • How can I turn off shuffle on the latest ios 9. I don't care

    It was a maddening, any quest in the morning and I'm hoping someone can answer how to disable the option shuffle for IPAD. the reason for the caps is because I've been Googling all morning and every single response shows just iPHONE, screenshots, and they are clearly different interfaces because the options they show simply do not appear.

    I keep seeing again and again to choose a song from an album so the album art and song info are full screen and then tap the icon shuffle inside, although simply is not working because the selection of a new album in ipad brings to the top of the entire track on the album cover on the right and the left and simply select the cheek pieces. There is a big 'Shuffle' just above the track list, but by selecting only mix, changing and mixing the new order. The instructions for the iphone obviously do not correspond to the ipad so can someone who did an ipad tell me how to shuffle off please?

    I hate how Apple has now the need to keep changing the user interface more. I would rather have stuck with the ios interface 6 or ios 5 if it meant that they stopped to bury the functions in the most complicated way, non-obvious possible. Simple functions like this are supposed to be intuitive, not getting people to need to google all morning and then ask a question on a forum to find out. Thanks for the help!

    I have an iPad. The ways to the Shuffle is on the two screenshots below... The first one mixes everything. Another mix album only. If this does not work for your I would like to reset your music application or restore the iPad than something is wrong with the system.

    Reset music approx. close music completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the preview pane of music until it disappears from the display. Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • How can I turn off the CSS Rule dialog box?

    I would like to know how Turn off the CSS dialog box rule.

    I support a user who used DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site, it says to use CSS. Although I admit that it is a way of 'better' and 'more effective' to do things - IF you are a software engineer - it is not even close to being worth the cost to review the entire site and upgrading this user.

    So, how can I turn off, not just the pop - up, but how do I tell DW to just go ahead and do the old, integrated in the way HTML to do things?

    All what the user wants to do is change the color of certain keywords, css is an exaggeration when that's all he does.

    We were going back to the previous version except that the Agency was forced on Vista and the old version does not work.

    Hello

    Sorry (actually, no, I don't work for adobe, so why should I be), CS4 is now a ' standard (still allows tables to good design!), program and css is the preferred method of styling. You can choose the possibility of inserting styles 'online' for the css rule by selecting the css option in the properties panel, which will make the equivalent of css you want.

    You must have had a very old version of dreamweaver to make it work under vista, I ran ultradev 4 (circa. 2000), without any problems under vista.

  • Qosmio X 505-870-can't turn off and nothing on the monitor

    I wasn't doing anything particularly interesting when my computer just turns off randomly. I pressed the power button to turn it back on, I can hear the fan and things of the machine but nothing appears on the monitor. I pressed on and maintained the power button to turn it off and try again, it does not turn off. He is stuck with the computer on but a blank screen.

    Don't know what to do, I can't turn off, and he's not doing anything.
    Could try to put the recovery disks to see if it's nothing, but I'm worried about the files I have saved on the desktop (stupidly)

    Hi colhyena,

    I agree with Akuma. The same instructions posted by Akuma I found here:
    [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

    So that s what you can do and if it s does not you need professional help of an authorized service provider.

    Qosmio X 505 is newer model laptop so probably yours is still under warranty. In this case, the repair is free and you don t have to pay anything. :)

  • Can I turn off the display on the Qosmio X 770 while I am running programs?

    Can I turn off the display of my Qosmio X 770 while I'm running programs such as virus scans to save power and the screen? Most laptops have a function key to enable this.

    Hello

    Of course you can do it.
    You can change the settings of your central in Win 7 power management settings.

    Go to the control panel-> power-> Plan on changes of settings Options

    Now, change the setting to turn off the display.
    I would have put a min

    In such cases the fi would not touch to the laptop for a min the screen turns off

    Now I feel really embarrassed to ask this question because I use a computer for 15 years and have been using MP3 plays since 1999.

    How can I turn off the Sansa Fuze? He said nothing in the manual. What combination of buttons/menu setting to turn it off?

    Don't be shy, I had a similar experience when I used Sansa.

    Keep the right sliding button for a second or two to turn it off.

    The key is to keep for a while.

  • Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    Can you turn off the shutter sound on the factory unlocked iPhone to the Japan 7?

    I am going to Japan November 2016 and plan to buy unlocked (no sim) iphone to use in my country (Thailand) 7.

    However, I have read some post on 'mode of politeness' in Japanese phone but the conclusion is not clear whether you can disable shutter sound (without sim) unlocked iphone 7 or not. Then, someone could share on the current situation?

    Thank you

    No, its required by Japanese law shutter. Even if the iPhone is

    is no longer in Japan, you will not be able to turn off the shutter sound.

    You should also check with the seller to be sure you can get the

    iPhone unlocked from the Japanese wireless provider to use with your

    carrier in Thailand. And check that the iPhone is unlocked before leaving the

    retailer.

    I like to play POGO games all of which come with a certain type of sound effects, but at the same time, I like to listen to my radio station streaming favor. How can I disable the sound for Web sites but not my music streaming?

    If it is an individual, video or audio on a web page, you can try to turn off or disable the audio using the audio and video controls on the web page, or you can install an extension that adds this functionality. It is called mute, and you can install it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/muter/
