Help! My MacBook goes to sleep when the disk (on the recovery partition) utility is running!

Currently, my MacBook is initialized in the Lion recovery partition. I am running disk utility and try to reduce the main partition, so I can clone a smaller HD (Yes, still there is enough space on the smaller disk.) But I have a problem... my custody of Mac to go to sleep, resulting in a never-ending cycle of wake - sleep-cancellation. The progress bar is apparently stuck to half way through. I don't want to touch anything, for fear of making the disk unbootable. (Of course, it is possible that it is already in ruins, but...) But I also have other things to do; I want to stay here all day just to keep typing on the keyboard, move the mouse, etc, to keep my Mac awake.

Never mind. Looks like disk utility is stuck, and nothing happened. After a reboot and a repair, the volume is OK, but not shrunk.

  • PC goes mode sleep when the Power Options are set for ever, etc. also can not wake up

    Hi, I read the other posts on this topic, but my problem seems a little different.

    I am running Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer and I tried to run chkdsk and also the Dell diagnostics that I have some problems hard drive; However, it gets so far and the pc goes into mode 'sleep' causing me even worse problems that chkdsk/diagnoses are halfway through a volume. The pc has done this on and off tension for awhile, but hopefully not when something critical is running, even if it is a nuisance.  I did all the steps recommended here as ensure my Power Options are set, etc., but he always does.

    In addition, when the pc goes to sleep, I can't wake him up by pressing the power button or any key on the keyboard.

    I've been in contact with Dell and they said that it's a software problem.

    Someone can suggest something else I can do (stop) the computer mode 'sleep' and also how to wake him.

    Thank you.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • Windows 7 - screen goes to sleep when the parameters of plan of power has never turn off

    Looking for some advice - we have screens that display information for visitors so that they must be all the time. The computers to which they are connected are on the network but connected with local accounts. We applied a number of parameters for the management of food, namely:

    Turn the hard drive off - never

    Sleep after - never

    Allow hybrid sleep - never

    Hibernate after - never

    Selective suspension of USB - disabled

    Turn off the display after - never

    Despite the settings above the screens go blank and I have to move the mouse or press any key to wake up. It doesn't seem to be any obvious either pattern. Sometimes they remain turned on for 1-2 hours then go to sleep, other times maybe every 20-30 minutes.

    I looked at several articles but could not find a solution that works for us. We tried to apply a GPO that defines power management in case something else might override the settings, but it did not work either.

    The computers are running Windows 7 SP1.

    Now I'm out of ideas. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Laptop will not go to sleep when the lid is closed

    Separated from this thread.

    Same problem here. My settings say that my Toshiba will sleep when the lid is closed, but half the time is not asleep and I can feel it's hot and turns on the fan. I am so frustrated with this new laptop and Windows 8.1. Looks like too many bugs in the software or something. More I am working on the new laptop the more problems that I find, like screen discoloration as well. The forums are useless. I do what they say, and the problem is the same. Forget the call from Toshiba. Needless. Nobody will help unless you pay them money to subscribe. What customer service?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your concern here at the Microsoft Community forum. Let me help you with your concern.

    This problem may occur because of any change in power on your laptop options. If the default is set to hibernation and standby modes, your laptop goes to sleep when you close the lid, but then the Hibernate timer comes in and wake up your computer first and trying to Hibernate. He cannot go to Hibernate directly from mode 'sleep'. Go into the power settings and either disable hibernation or set the timer on a higher value.

    To apply the same setting to all plans:

    1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
    2. On the Select a power plan page, click choose the cover.
    3. On the page define power buttons and turn on password protection , next to when I close the lid, choose what you want your laptop to do, both when it is running on battery and when it's plugged in.
    4. Click on save changes.

    Tip: To save battery power and quickly resume working, select sleep. Sleep is a power saving state that allows a computer quickly resume the operation of full power (usually in seconds) when you want to start working again.

    To apply a setting to a specific regime:

    1. Open Power Options by pressing the Windows key + X, clicking Control Panel, click system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
    2. On the Select a power plan page, click change plan settings for the plan you want to change.
    3. On the change settings for the plan page, click change advanced power settings.
    4. Advanced settings tab, expand it cover and the Power button, action lid, choose what you want your mobile PC to do when you close the lid, for when it runs on battery and when it is plugged in, and then click OK.

    I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

  • Screen goes to sleep in the cradle after 30 minutes.

    Model 121us/s Sony xperia S goes to sleep when placed on cradle after about 30 minutes. The inactivity ' Sleep' function is located ten minutes and I checked the "always on" option in the Developer tab of the settings to prevent the screen turn the power off when it is plugged. I'm at a loss as to what I might need to do to solve this problem. The Tablet is used as a clock when the cradle in order to have the screen off, is not good!

    The issue started occurring about 2 months ago. I don't remember any installation or update may have made the change. It is currently running 4.1.1.

    Think about it, the tablet screen stays on when the Tablet is LOAD, but once it reaches a full charge, the screen can accommodate.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi bsadriaansen.

    Try to perform a soft reset to solve the problem. You can perform the soft reset by pressing and holding the button for 10 seconds approximately.

    Reset of the tablet will not return to default factory settings, but the parameters or unsaved data may be lost.

  • I can do: sleep when the lid is closed, EXCEPT when an external display is connected?

    Hello

    Please let me know if this is possible. Seems to me like a current need, but I can't find a way to achieve this.

    I wish that the laptop to sleep when I close the lid (battery / plugged - matter), except when I have a connected external display.

    The script is very simple, I prefer to work with an external display, so I don't want or need the lid is open. When I'm on the road, the "sleep when the lid is closed" is a desired behavior.

    Is this possible?

    Thank you

    Roee.

    (1) this function is available in the Apple OS, but not in OS Win.

    (2) but, you can set a custom power plan to do this, so when you connect an external monitor just switch the power around plan. It is the easiest way to get what you want.

  • Need help with the recovery partition/create recovery media

    HI - first thing I did when I got my thinkpad is a clean install of w7, but then I thought about it and restored the recovery partition, conviniently located at the end of the training, in order to create a backup dvd factory. Thing is, when I click the autorun (lenovoqdrive.exe) and select 'create recovery media', I get an error stating that "program files (x 86) \lenovo\factory recovery\recovburncd.exe" is missing... obviously since the operating system partition was crushed.

    I tried RnR and looked on the software + drivers page and nothing happens as "... \lenovo\factory recovery\" when it is installed. So, where can I download the program that creates the recovery discs?

    (I know possible to restore the operating system of the *.wim file but I want to leave that as a last resort).

    Okay here's what I did to who mightve had the same question: as mentioned earlier, I have restored the partition Q with (your favorite free partition recovery tool), then booted from a usb winpe (with imagex) generated from victory aik (free).

    first I deleted (from winpe boot usb) windoze partition with diskpart and recreated the 2 partitions S & C (and Q is on the left) by hand according to 'recovery.ini' found on q. then I restored S and C 'sdrivebackup.wim' and 'cdrivebackup.wim', respectively, using imagex.exe, which is actually two one liners.

    Finally, I tried the bcd to fixation by hand according to "bcdinfo.txt", also found on Q, but that did not really work... so I just jumped into a bootable win7 USB and he rewrote the bcd by itself (I assume). the last step has been fixing the mbr by using /fixmbr and /fixboot bootrec.exe.

    ATM I started just and afaict it behaves exactly like the first start-up of the plant. see you soon

Tried to retrieve the file, but to no avail! No idea what I can do? Thank you very much!!!

    That's what does_removes put in shape all the files. You burn your set of recovery disks? If so, you can start their relocation back to factory specifications that will recreate the recovery partition. Please note that this format the entire hard drive, which means that you save the files, photos, etc. before the race. If you burn your recovery DVD set, that you can order from HP for about $20.

    Hi all... Would like to ask how to use the recovery partition and what is the effect if I used it... ?

    Thank you...

    Hello:

    You normally start the PC, and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, you press the F11 key to start the Recovery Manager program.

    Then follow the instructions to restore your PC to its state of software "out of the box.

    In so doing you re-partition and reformat the hard drive.

    All THE data you have on the PC will be lost.

    So make sure that you copy the files that you want to keep on a portable hard drive before proceeding.

    It is also for if you have created a storage partition. You must copy all the files from that too.

    All partitions are erased and redone.

  • A computer slows down when the recovery drive is removed? Is it necessary to replace a recovery disk? For regular execution?

    I need to get worried if my recovery disk has been removed for more space?

    Contact your computer manufacturer for information about the recovery Partition.

    This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

    The manufacturer images this recovery Partition on your hard drive during their manufacturing process.

    The recovery Partition was put there for you reinstall Vista in the case of a system Crash.

  • HP probook 440 G1 query on the recovery partition

    I not create recovery DVDs when I received my laptop then I upgraded to windows 8.1. I want to downgrade to 8 but when I perform a system recovery it says: no image found. I am aware that I need the recovery DVD to perform the recovery.

    My questions are:

    1: if I use a 8 CD to format my windows partition win then I will be able to use the recovery partition in my HARD drive and perform a restore to the factory settings so recover windows 8

    2: if I create recovery DVD now with victory 8.1 installed recovery DVDs contain wins 8? I want to say can I perform recovery with these DVD's going to work?

    Any knowledgeable person here please help me...

    If your HP ProBook 440 G1 comes with Windows 8 and you upgraded to Windows 8.1, you can try a Windows of "cool". This should return Windows 8, as it did when I refreshed my Split HP 13 x 2 which has been upgraded to Windows 8. 1

    If this does not work, try to set the "HP Recovery" partition as "Active" in the Windows Disk Management Console and restart the computer. If everything is working correctly, your computer must begin the process of HP recovery and restore your computer to a factory State.

    (1) you can set the "HP Recovery" as "Active" partition using a Windows installation disc and choosing repair options.

    (2) If you try to create your discs of HP recovery at this moment and the system allows you, the created disks will be the original image of Windows 8, which has been installed on your computer.

    If none of the works above, you will need to contact HP to order a set of disks.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Drive C: / (and all my other readers) are working as they should but drive E:/where is the partition installed normal recovery does not restore properly. I recently had another problem and tried to do a restore using the partition HP recovery and got the error messages it is not found? I didn't use the Acronis since the results had already been mentioned.

    HP web site does not list my computer and I think I need to order a set of recovery from my web research disc, but I'm going in circles on the HP web site trying to find out where to order or send an email to technical support. Looks like HP wants just to sell their hardware and then completely dump you after disregarding needs later? I am very frustrated with HP because it seems that if you have not purchased the equipment in the last 90 days you're in their "rearview mirror" when it comes to help?

    I still have to call their phone support since I had 'experience' with their offshore support in the past and would really like to avoid new frustrating experience with the entire HP support system.  Why can't I just ask a question and get a resolution - is it too ask?  Apparently Yes...

    Can anyone help me to get what I need to replace the recovery on my desktop computer partition and get it all working properly again? Thank you in advance for any help that will help solve this problem. Robert

    Well, since the computer came with Vista, then the recovery partition will be of no other value to reinstall Vista, which I assume is not what is wanted.  If the Windows 7 install disk is always available, then reinstall Windows 7 on this disc and new departure.  Was the original Vista 32 bit and the new Windows 7 64-bit, so is not "upgrade was/is possible, but a new install anyway."  As the other 64-bit programs have been added after the upgrade to Windows 7, installers will need to be rerun to get install them after you have reinstalled Windows 64-bit.  Otherwise, the Acronis image can be used.  Unless HP has published this same model computer with Windows 7 64-bit, there is no HP support and hense no recovery partition. Sorry
