  • Put iPad Pro to sleep by keyboard shortcut?

    Is there a way to put a Pro iPad to sleep by just using a Smart shortcut (such as command-Shift-Eject/Power on Mbps)? When already typing on the keyboard (and I want to stop working for a while) it is not very convenient to press on the button / stop of the iPad.

    It is not possible. Defined the iPad to sleep early if it's that big of a concern about you. How annoying this maybe we can to press the sleep button and put the iPad to sleep?

  • Yoga - Thinkpad receiver of messages shortcut hot keys 30% CPU use and after the screen lock or sleep

    Hello! After returning from standby or locking screen, a process called 'Receiver of Thinkpad messages for shortcut shortcut keys' begins to use about 30% of the CPU. Time to go upo to battery of 60 to 70 degrees is running out very quickly. This process does not stop until I finish using the Task Manager. The end in this way, once it restarts even if I use sleep or lock the screen. Need help with this!

    I do not have this problem as a month ago or not. Has probably seen the day after some updates.

    On the edge of the T series, there is an update for this: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/t540p-high-cpu-usage-by-shtctky-exe-ThinkP...

    I installed on the yoga. After the first reboot, a program called 'tposd.exe' used about 30% of cpu. I thought that this update does not work. But after the second restart that is not more. Shtctky.exe is not also using the cpu after sleep or lock. So I think we have a solution.

  • Shortcut that replicates the button sleep for Windows Tablet 8.1

    I am trying to create a shortcut icon on a Windows 8.1 tablet that does the following.  I hope someone with knowledge of Microsoft can answer definitively.

    It must accurately reproduce the function being called when I quickly press the power button on the side of the tablet. What do I mean by that?  I mean that when I push the power button.  The Tablet goes into a State of "sleep".  If the button is pushed once again, or the menu button 'Start' then the Tablet refers to the lock screen.  I currently have a Toshiba Encore 2, but I am aware of postings on the internet that others have different tablets like Dell coming Pro.

    Because someone will suggest.  There is a particular reason, I want to avoid the power button.  These tablets seem to have a very small, delicate, poorly designed power button that slides out of the internal contact.  I'm afraid that the button won't survive the abuse of my children, so I'll try to give them a soft touch.  The goal is to reduce the time they need the physical button.

    I've been around the internet on this.  I want to clarify things that DO NOT WORK on THIS TABLET.   In addition, nothing is 'evil' with the tablet.  This is something that is not well documented, or is not possible on Windows 8/8.1 Microsoft

    1. it DOES NOT WORK: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState - it hibernates the tablet. What I'm looking for.

    2. it DOES NOT WORK: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState sleep - this also extended to the tablet. What I'm looking for.

    3. it DOES NOT WORK: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0 - this also extended to the tablet. What I'm looking for.

    4 powercfg-h off failover makes 1-3 doesn't DO NOTHING, don't sleep reported, suggested, documented

    5. in the course of running powercfg /a reports that s1 - s3 sleep and hybrid are not supported "when connected standby is supported.

    6. I don't want a solution consisting in autohotkey - I'm looking for a management system dll that can be called from a shortcut without having to install a utility

    7. it would seem that the bios/firmware that supports connected disabled standby mode options 1-3 + 4 as viable

    8. the shortcuts are not what I'm looking for on a tablet like win - x or alt - f4 - I am aware of these and how they work

    9. I know that I can get to sleep using the power icon in the menu of charms.  In fact, this icon works in the way, I'm looking, but is less convenient that just touching an icon in the start menu.

    I guess what I'm looking for is.

    1. explanation of this sleep mode, I want to talk to (is it connected standby?)
    2 clarification about whether this "standby" is accessible via a dll or another system call which can be shortened would be - of course there is a system call because the charms of power icon is accessed.

    Thank you for any input constructive or educational.

    The closest I could find is to create a vbs script and save it > create a shortcut to the vbs script

    Dim ObjShell
    Set objShell = CreateObject
    objShell.ShutdownWindows
    Set objShell = nothing
    Set WshShell = CreateObject ("WScript.Shell")
    With objShell
    WScript.Sleep 200
    WshShell.AppActivate "closing Windows.
    WshShell.SendKeys "ss".
    WshShell.SendKeys "{TAB}".
    WshShell.SendKeys "{Enter}".
    Ends with

  • Are there any shortcuts keyboard to place the office in mode 'sleep'?

    Are there keyboard shortcuts can I use to place my office in mode 'sleep'? All mouse and/or the shot is a bit back when it takes literally 2 seconds to do it on a keyboard.

    I've only played with Windows 8 for a week and I'm already screaming, "Microsoft!" PLEEEASE release a version of Windows 8 for DESKTOP computers (aka 8.1)! "IF you do, I can finally replace my droid with MS OS ones.

    When I use this command my computer enters hybrid sleep mode and shuts down completely, it can only be awakened by pressing the power button / stop and wait while the UEFI BIOS load and Windows load before the resumption of the session. If I use the sleep command in the menu of Windows, the computer goes to sleep with the power light on the computer slowly by Flash and it can be awakened by pressing any key on the keyboard.

    Why this happens and I can control what state the computer goes in with a shortcut (vs hybrid sleep sleep)?

    I use a motherboard ASUS Maximus V 8.1 Windows 64.

    EDIT - this site seems to have a solution. I opened a prompt with administrator privileges and run the command:

    powercfg-hibernate off implementation

    Then make a shortcut with this command:

    Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState sleep

    The first time I tried the shortcut that put the computer in hibernation. After using the powercfg command, he seemed to sleep properly.

  • Shortcuts commands vs hybrid sleep

    I tried to create a desktop shortcut to place my computer Windows 8 in mode "standby".  After a lot of research online, I tried several proposed commands (ex: rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0), each of which seem to place the computer in "hibernate" instead of "sleep".  It was suggested to use any first order to disable 'hybrid' (ex: powercfg-Hibernate implementation,) followed by running the command "sleep".  It seems to me to get the same result: "hybrid" mode instead of "sleep".  Anyone would be able to offer the correct command "sleep"?  I want to be able to order the computer in the exact same resulting state by clicking on the button 'sleep' in the settings/power found in 'charms '.  Please help, thanks.

    Sandeep, first off I apologize for you accused of being too busy to read my question completely.  It turns out, I'm the one at fault for not reading your response more carefully and thoroughly.  You had, in fact, gave me the key to my problem by suggesting the I run the "hibernate" as a high command.  When I took the time to do exactly as you suggest my problem has been resolved.  Thank you very much for your excellent help Sandeep.

  • Keyboard shortcuts for the screen saver does not

    When upgrading to Mac OS Sierra, the hotkey to put the screen in sleep mode (control - shift - (power or Media Eject button )) has stopped working. As I use this command several times a day and don't know not of any other way to put the screen in sleep mode, it's one of the few reasons why I consider really return to El Capitan.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Hi Zwolff,

    Thanks for posting in the Community Support from Apple! I understand that you are having problems with the keyboard shortcut to put your display to sleep. It is certainly a handy to use feature and I'm happy to offer some suggestions to help.

    The first thing that I recommend you try safe mode connects. This will clear the caches and conduct audits at your connection. Here you can find the steps for safe mode:

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    I also recommend you test this in a test on your Mac user account. There may be software or a specific file of the user that generated problems with your shortcut.

  • Why Firefox freeze and a box rectangular white happen on my Mac screen after the computer enters mode "sleep"?

    Why found frozen Firefox and a rectangular box on my MacPro screen after that the computer goes into screensaver mode and I come back to type it in again? I Force-Quit Firefox and restart my tabs from scratch.

    It got so annoying that I switched to Chrome for a while, but Chrome is a hoarder of power who wouldn't let me download at Amazon cover for books printed images as I write. I want to go back to Firefox, but the only way to prevent him from dying on me is to keep completely off the screen saver and sleep-ECOMAT modes. It started happening after I installed the new OS from Yosemite, then maybe it is a conflict of some sort.

    Here is a screenshot of the appearance of the white box on the Firefox screen frozen. Well, hmm. It seems that this image be download! Well!

    Anyone know what the problem is or how to fix it?

    Hello

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • My iMac sleep

    I have an iMac 27 "end 2015 a few weeks ago, and the sleep function worked fine. But all of a sudden yesterday, he refuses to go to sleep. I used to use the shortcut keyboard option + command + eject, but it does not work. The screen just turns off. Then I tried to choose "sleep" from the Apple menu, but the same thing. The screen turns off, but the drive never turns down. I know it's not instantaneous, but I leave 30 seconds and it will not turn it down. It continues to run until I have press a key or click the mouse. Already, I went through the evolution of the system preferences. Nothing is shared by the computer. "Wake for network access" is disabled. 'Allow Bluetooth wake up' is disabled. My keyboard is a USB Apple wired one. I quit all programs and applications and it will not sleep. I moved the cursor "display off" from 10 minutes to 1 and then back to 10 minutes. I left alone; the screen is off, but the disks never turned down after several hours. If I want to leave for a while, I let the music so he can't SLEEP. But for the last test, no music was played. I checked if something prevented from sleep in the activity monitor, but they are all the 'no '. Energy saving, "Prevent computer to sleep automatically when the screen is off" is not checked. "Put hard drives to sleep when possible" is checked. I use the same settings I used for on an another iMac. It's very frustrating because it was working fine the other day. I turned off the computer and unplugged it overnight and it will not sleep. Anyone know what is happening?

  • Dictation doesn't work after sleep

    Hello

    I have a macbook pro retina early 2015 version running on El Capitan OS X (10.11.4).

    Recently, I started using the dictation feature & speech and found that it will not work after waking from sleep (most of the time that I do not close).

    When I press the shortcut key to activate the dictation, the microphone at the corner will 'three-treatment-points', is therefore the microphone icon in the status bar (I know that my microphone works well btw). When I click it, the drop-down list says that "dictation is loading. However, after some time, he will answer and I have to force the function to stop smoking. Just after the dictation in the activity monitor to quit or off in system preferences, my mac will freeze permanently for 1 ~ 2 seconds, forcing me to restart my mac.

    I have went to the console and found the newspaper stating:

    SpeechDataInstallerd [2286]: *-[NSKeyedUnarchiver initForReadingWithData:]: data are empty. If you forgot to send - finishEncoding to the NSKeyedArchiver?

    Wandering if there any kind souls out there who can solve my problem of coding or just save me to restart my mac every time?

    Thank you!

    I use increased dictation. When I finished with the dictation, I deliberately left it. My Mac closes every day at sunset. With OS X and OS X 10.11.4 10.11.5, I have no problems with the dictation, other than his words of misunderstanding sometimes. Dictation is not ready to receive your speech until the three points "pulsed" stop, a sensitive vocal mic icon is present. I have never error messages, or this Console log entry that offered you.
