iMac does not stop

After the upgrade to 10.11.6:-

1. my iMac (21.5 in. 500 GB) used stop - it just goes to the picture of the screen. + pointer.

2. after a forced shutdown it starts very slowly with many "beach ball".

3. many applications also takes ages to open (with beachballing).

4. I tried repair disk (says it's okay) and applejack which has some difficulties to locate 'virtual memory', but otherwise, seems happy.

What does all this mean? and what I can do about it?

Thank you.

    After updating my iPhone 6 (9.3.4) the WiFi signal becomes very low! I did everything, but the problem does not stop! I don't a not update my other devices & their very good WiFi signals. Please help me solve this terrible problem...

    Here's a tip for the user on the problems of Wi - Fi. Suggest from the top and bottom. Maybe one of them will help you.

    (1) restart you device.

    (2) resetting the network settings: settings > general > reset > reset network settings. Join the network again.

    (3) reboot router/Modem: unplug power for 2 minutes and reconnect. Update the Firmware on the router (support Web site of the manufacturer for a new FW check). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (recommended for 2.4 to 20 MHz bandwidth). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for 2.4 band.

    (4) change of Google DNS: settings > Wi - Fi > click the network, delete all the numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or otherwise 8.8.4.4

    (5) disable the prioritization of device on the router if this feature is available. Also turn off all apps to VPN and retest the Wi - Fi.

    (6) determine if other wireless network devices work well (other iOS devices, Mac, PC).

    (7) try the device on another network, i.e., neighbors, the public coffee house, etc.

    (8) backup and restore the device using iTunes. Try to restore as New first and test it. If ok try to restore the backup (the backup may be corrupted).

    (9) go to the Apple store for the evaluation of the material. The Wi - Fi chip or the antenna could be faulty.

  • iMac does not start after 10.11.6

    Since the 10.11.6 patch my IMac does not start with my hub plugged.

    Everyone

    I assume you mean a USB hub? What does do when it's plugged in? It starts successfully when the hub is not plugged? If so, I would say that something is wrong with the hub or there is a problem with the port it is plugged or something plugged into the hub.

    Try to plug it into a different USB port on your Mac.

    Firefox seems to have recently developed seemingly random usually do not remember bookmarks, particularly when the pc does not stop correctly. Thank you

    If Firefox detects that the places.sqlite database is corrupted then Firefox can create a new database file and import bookmarks from a JSON backup that does not contain the most recent bookmarks (a new JSON backup is created when you run Firefox for the first time on a day), then you may lose the bookmarks in such a case.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Satellite A500D - fan does not stop

    Hello

    Two days ago I updated the Bios to version 1.20 win, and since then, the fan is constantly at 72% and the temperature of the CPU at 36 º.

    At Toshiba, I say it is normal, but the fan does not stop at any time and the noise is annoying.

    Anteriormento updated the BIOS, the fan stopped and started and never surpassed 54%.

    Looks like a vergueza by the care service, they have given me, I tried to deceive, as is normal for a portable fan that keeps 72%.

    Please I need someone to tell me where I can download before my Bios and how to install it.

    PS: My processor ens Turion Rm-77.

    A welcome message

    Hello

    You mean the cooling module fan didn't run all the time with the previous BIOS version?

    Well, in this case you must downgrade BIOS to the previous version.
    The problem is that you can download the latest version of the BIOS from the Toshiba page.

    But maybe a Toshiba ASP might help you and may downgrade the BIOS to the previous version

    But have you tried to change the settings in Win 7 power option?
    You can find it in the control panel-> power options

    There you can change modes of single power supply.
    In the power settings advanced, you'll find settings Toshiba energy saver and there you can change the method of cooling while the laptop is running on battery or power.

  • Tecra M3-264: the fan does not stop

    Hello

    I have a labtop Toshiba Tecra M3 264, it's wonderful BUT,.
    The fan does not stop and this sound is a bit noisy in comparison with the other all I have.

    Is this normal in this model or should I take it to the service?

    Hello

    It is normal activity on new laptops cooling fan is very noticeable on older models. I recommend you to check what happen if you change the settings of cooling method in power management.

    By the way: allow the unit to take a breath. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free and that there is nothing that can stop the flow of air. If the vents are dirty and full of dust, it can also be responsible for cooling fans runs often and with a higher speed.

    Good bye

  • E540: Fan does not stop

    Hello Board and support team!

    The fan in my e540 does not stop once it began to turn. It is completely independent of the system temperature. Even if the room temperature and the cpu is less than 40 * C the fan will not stop.

    The fan does not always turn, however. If I wake up the system from sleep mode or turn it on, the fan does not turn and will not start spinning until a certain threshold temperature is reached. This part of the fan control works correctly.

    Interesting procedure: I work until the heating system and the fan starts. I waint until the system is cooled below 40 * C (checked with software speccy, the flow of air leaving the laptop is cold). The fan is still running at this stage and will turn probably forever. I suspend the laptop (no full stop not required). I immediatally 'wake up' the laptop (temperature of the system has not changed, no time to cool). The fan is off again and will not start turning until the temperature threshold is reached.

    What can I do to fix this? I don't always want to suspend my laptop to turn off the fan. She has to stop on its own.


  • S440/Win10 - does not stop correctly

    Hello

    I have upgraded to windows 10 recently. After the upgrade, sometimes, the laptop does not stopped correctly - windows stops, the screen goes black, but thinkpad red LED remains flashing and I hear the fans still doesn't work. To really stop I have to press and hold the power button. The battery also is to be served, because after that I left it like that night, it was gone.

    Now, it's a little weird because it isn't always happens. It only seems to happen after that the laptop has been for a while. If I had to bet, it would be related to switchable graphics as the behavior resembles the problem with graphics terribly switchable and sleep on win8.1.

    To work around this problem, I took to restart the computer and stop just after shot, but Needless to say it is suboptimal.

    Anyone has any ideas on how to fix it?

    I think I found a solution. I have seen this mentioned in other forums of laptop, and it seems to have fixed for me.

    The culprit seems to be this driver:

    Intel(r) Management Engine Interface Driver for Windows 10 (version 11)

    If you install the earlier (version 9, should be on the lenovo driver page) it solves problems of stop/standby.

  • While the loop does not stop when the two values are equal using equal to comparitor

    Hello world

    I have a really, really strange bug. I have a LabVIEW VI that change a chain on a power supply. I have a start and a stop voltage and use a while loop to increment the device. For example if I want to scan from 1, 2V to 2.2 V in 0.2 V incremements, the program will end when "The current tension" = "stop the tension." And it works very well!

    However, when I start - 3 V and want to stop to say-0.8 (new in 0.2 V incremements) the program does not stop when "The current tension" = "stop the tension." I checked with the probe close to what should be the end of the race and - 0.8 V goes both of the entries ' equal to ' comaprison operator, but that his can't trigger a real result.

    It's very strange for me. Espeically as if I'm going - 0.8 V to-2 V but decrement of-0.2 V, the program stops correctly!

    I am very confused!

    See you soon!

  • Called vi with one hand, it does not stop

    Hi all

    I try to call a vi of a principal, I have succedded to call the vi but I couldn't stop the main vi and the called vi does not stop and disappear. Where I did wrong?

    LabVIEW follows a model of data flow for execution of vis a block diagram node runs when it receives all the required inputs. When a node is running, it produces output data and transmits data to the next node in the path of the data stream. The flow of data on the nodes determines the order of execution of the VIs and functions on the block diagram. Source

    Once you have called your Subvi, your main VI is pending so that it ends before it can move to the next State in the state machine which is the reason why it will not stop.  If you want to run a separate VI, you can call an asynchronous mode
