  Hello allan299,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  According to your post, I see that you have any questions on how and when your computer shuts down, and how the WiFi on your Mac is affected. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage what happens when your computer stops and starts in mode 'sleep'. I'm happy to help you find the best resolution.

  You're right, when your computer stops completely it will turn the Wi - Fi. If you enable the wake for network access, Wi - Fi remains lit, and you can access shared resources on your computer, such as printers or iTunes shared playlists even when your computer is in "sleep". Definition of a calendar closing and start on your Mac can also be useful.

  Check out the following resources that will help the set options that control the energy use of your computer, sleep, and wake-up times for your Mac and the calendar from your Mac to turn on or turn off or go to sleep:

• Toshiba 32RV635D does not power off when the computer turns off

  Hello

  I inherited a Toshiba 32RV635D. I have a PVR based on linux (Mythtv) connected to the TV via HDMI, connected on a Nvidia GT610.

  With my previous TV, a Vistron LCD Panel at low prices, he would go to sleep when the put PC into hibernation and light up when the PC came back.
  This required no configuration of me, he's done right. The Toshiba TV does not work.

  With this Toshiba TV, when the POR turns off the TV turns off screen but is actually still on - power led remains lit in green.

  Same thing with the other way around - if I put the TV in standby and powered the POR, the TV does not respond and I have to manually put out of Eve.

  I updated the firmware and it has not changed anything, and I can't find anything related to power management in the menus of televisions. I even tried just pulling the HDMI cable to the back of the TV so it has no physical active entry, and yet, it does not fall to sleep.

  The Amazon page for TV mentions the power management features, and I expected from what I understand, it should behave the way she.

  I read a lot on HDMI-CEC, but to use it with my existing kit, I would need to buy an adapter USB - CEC, and which seems a little odd because my previous TV not cheap-as-chips just done this...

  Also, the different uses in linux suggests considers its sounds the right - 'xset q' running when the computer is idle tells me that "the monitor is turned off" when in fact it is not.

  Clues?

  Ricklous, it can be useful if you have a look at the url
  http://www.Toshiba-OM.NET/LCD/PDF/English/Country_Specific/RV635-323742-English-specific.PDF

  If you want to download the manual of the English edition for your model, I have not read through, but it may be useful to you.

  Either by the way, I have the model 32RL900A and find only a VCR plugged into the claims of taking SCART screen every time it turns on while the TV is set to a string of FTA (Free To Air) and then 'hands back' screen when he (PVR) goes out, and this, I discovered, is a characteristic of the system SCART.

  I don't know if this information is useful to you, but hope it helps.

• error mess. No supported cpu and the computer turns off

  I have a hp p6210y.  I took my computer and looked at herself, and the guy told me that my motherboard was likely bad.  He told m that the motherboard of the computer are bad and he advised to do not to buy a new one because it will go as bad.  My motherboard is a pegatron m2n78 - la.  It has an AMD athlon ii 620 quad-core. Well, I found one on ebay for about $100.  After that I put the new one where said pegatron m2n78 - la on it like that old one does.  I did put in the new processor.  The only different thing I noticed was as soon as I put on it instead of hp compaq said.  I'm a noob to all this.  The first I guys I listened to said that it was the hard drive and it has not fixed this is why I had in the type of computer and started to do myself.  Its been a learning experience for me if I look at the positive side of everything.  But now I have an extra hard drive new (seagate sv35.5 500 GB) sitting on my desk. Do I have to get a power cord with it also. I have the sata cable or whatever.  or I can run 2 hard drive at the same time.  Thank you very much

  FYI... simply because the replacement motherboard has "M2N78 - LA" printed on it, does not mean that it is the same as your original plate. HP has a least 4 different motherboards all models "M2N78 - LA" but named Viola, Violet, Violet3 and Violet6. These motherboards can support different processors, socket, extension and ports of i/o slots back.

  Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p6210y and its M2N78-(purple) motherboard. Please make sure that the motherboard is good. Given that HP sells computers under the names of the HP and Compaq, you may see Compaq or HP screens 'splash' at the start of the brand. Although this should not affect the operation of the computer, the lack of good 'tattoo' can prevent you from using your recovery disks.

  Hello

  Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.
  It is just like it loses power or stop it in the normal way?

  Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (both ends where possible).

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Update takes too long to install the right until the computer turns off

  Hello!

  I formatted a Windows 7 HP computer, and I was having a bunch of annoying problems related to updated Windows Update (for more than a week, incredible!), more precisely I encountered the problem of the infinite search for updates several times (I formatted in fact the PC more than once), and unfortunately, I have seen no any model when it occurs. I've seen many solutions online, but none of them seem to work. If this computer was mine, I would have already installed another operating system, i.e. Linux.

  Now, after several attempts, the last of them was to start first windows in "safe" mode, and then restart normally, I have observed that, although apparently she wanted so much for the updates, under the windows of Hood put to date has already installed some updates and others have been suspended, and we failed. I decided to restart the PC, and now it is install updates after the newspaper a few hours already. Apparently, he was installing the updates normally, but at some point he stuck with update number 234 (on 292). It was at least 2 or 3 hours, which is to install this update, and I think that it is not normal.

  What can I do? Could it be related to the internet connection? I had a lot of trouble to set up the internet connection, mainly because of the card wireless PC, apparently dying. But I used it, before ending the session, a USB Netgear adapter, and I was able to connect to the internet, etc.

  Thanks for your help!

  I just wanted to say that after waiting a bit more put updated 234 has been installed as well as all the other updates that came after him. Thus, the long waiting times could be due to a problem with internet or any connection simply because the update was quite heavy...

  I'll take a look at this post ;)

  Acer Aspire M5640
  Intel Core 2 Duo E 7200
  RAM 3 GB DDRII
  500 GB Sata HARD drive

  I went out to do some quick shopping and turned on my pc. When I got home, proceeded to check my email (gmail) that I had left open. Went to click on an email from a reliable source, so I don't think it's associated virus. Could not click on everything that was running, pc is frozen. I tried cntr + alt + delete to continue with a reboot, does not open. So I held the power button for just shut it down and restart. When the computer has been restarted, it goes through it's normal procedure, until it gets to a green screen of Windows Update. When the pc is turned off, there is absolutely no indication that an update is underway. Now the computer begins to restart, gets to the screen update hangs and stops at reboot, samething over and over. Talked to Staples, not covered by the warranty, problem of Microsoft. Called tech support with Acer, same thing and they wanted to charge me $129 / hr to fix over the phone. That's why I'll try and see if anyone here can help me before I go the road of Acer.

  And there is only the Service Pack 2 for Vista.

  If this boot disk, that I informed you do not find your operating system, and if you can not do a repair of a Vista DVD installation, it's time to do a complete reinstall factory.
