Disconnected from ANY chat program when I go into sleep mode

I am using an airport express connection with road runner. When my computer goes into sleep mode, any chat program I am using is disconnected -- this happens with AIM, iChat, and Netscape Navigator's chat screen. As soon as I move my mouse, or touch the keyboard, and go active, AIM automatically reconnects. Any ideas on how I can remain signed into a chat service when I go into sleep mode?

In sleep mode your mac only keeps the data in the RAM. all other things will be turned off, so that it´s impossible to stay online with the chat applications.

  • IMac taking ten minutes to start up and sits at a blue screen for the most of the time. Also, when it goes into sleep mode I am unable to wake it up from it.

    For the past few days now whenever I go to turn on my iMac it takes roughly ten or more minutes to boot up. For the portion of this time it sits on a blank blue screen. At first it comes up to a plain white screen which after about 30 seconds has the apple logo on it and the spinning circle for about a minute then to the blue screen, every time. Then, to top it off right when this started happening another problem began occurring. The computer is set to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes of no use. But, if it is in sleep mode for too long I am unable to get it out and I have to restart the entire computer, but if it is just for a few seconds into sleep or a minute I am able to get the screen to come back. I can still here the fan running and such so I don't know what is going on. I have searched through discussion after discussion. I have tried: repairing disks, repairing permissions, starting up in safe mode, and such. There has been no luck so far. I was wondering if anyone could offer insight into fixing at least one of these problems since my schooling relies on the computer.
    By the way I this is an iMac 10.6.4 refurbished which we just bought about two weeks ago.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    My iMac i7 quad was having the same symptoms with the blue screen and long startup times a couple of months ago.  Apple Care told me to bring it in to the local Apple Store, and after some diagnostics, the hard drive required replacing.  It took one day to replace the hard drive and my iMac is running great. I only had the iMac for about 12 months when the drive needed to be replaced.  Not sure if that is your Mac's problem, but it was for mine.

  • My Macbook Pro won't turn on properly.  It was perfectly fine when it went into sleep mode earlier on today, please help?

    Closed the lid earlier on today and my macbook pro went into sleep mode.  about 12 hours later i opened it and the battery was dead.  Plugged the battery charger in and pressed the power button.  It boots up, disc drive works and it sounds the same as it would working perfectly fine.  Keyboard works and there is noise coming from the laptop when i press certain buttons like the volume etc but the screen isnt working.  Unable to enter FireWire targert disc mode to fix the sleep mode files which is what i think is wrong with it but i don't have a FireWire and i don't really want to be playing around with my macbook's internal files incase i accidentally touched the wrong thing.  Does anyone know what could be wrong?  Should i just take it to get repaired and let a specialist repair it?  Anything i should know about/be doing/not doing?

    Plug it into a power oulet & then reset your SMC:

  • When I try to print from Lightroom the program appears to go into safe mode(light gray) and never opens print options

    I am trying to print a photo in Lightroom. I go to the print tab and it appears the program goes into safe mode(light gray) and does not open print options. All other functions of the program are working. I am not getting a memory low warning or other error messages. What would cause this problem?

    DO NOT use HP's software for installing the printer, locate the uninstall directions from HP and uninstall ALL the HP software. Then follow the instructions located in Apple's Wireless Printer Install advice letter.

  • How do I wake up the tablet on a HP Photosmart eStn C510 printer when it goes into sleep mode.

    I have tried to wake up my tablet attachment and it won't wake up. I have tried on/off switch and pressing the home/and the other 2 buttons beside the home button but still won't come on. This happened once before and somehow got it to wake up. This happens when printer sits idle for a long time. I try to press the home button every now and then to keep active.

  • HP Officejet 4620 All-in-One Loses Connection to Wireless Network When It Goes Into Sleep Mode

    My HP 4620 All-In-One wireless printer works fine until it goes into sleep mode.  Once it goes into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up if a print job is sent to it.  If I wake it up manually by pressing the blinking on/off button, it still doesn't print.  If I completely turn it off and then on again, the print job that was queued on my computer will start printing, but that's a huge pain and waste of time nearly every time I want to print.  I've installed all available updates.  I also assigned a static IP address in an effort to correct this but nothing helps.  I see that others have complained about this problem, but I do not see that anyone has had success resolving this.  My operating system is Windows Vista.  I use a Link-Sys Wireless G Router.  Thanks.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • Going idle disconnects me from ANY chat service - AIM, iChat

    I am using an airport extreme connection with road runner. When my computer goes into sleep mode, any chat program I am using is disconnected -- this happens with AIM, iChat, and Netscape Navigator's chat screen. As soon as I move my mouse, or touch the keyboard, and go active, AIM automatically reconnects. Any ideas on how I can remain signed into a chat service when I go into sleep mode?

    The only way of keeping you logged into ichat and applications like this. IS to change your energy settings in your System preferences so that your mac doesn't go to sleep nor does your hard drive go to sleep when possible you can put your display to go to sleep at 10-15 minutes but that is it and you should be fine afterwards. Make sure that the check box for put my hard disk to sleep when possible is unchecked and you have put my computer to sleep set to never. Let me know the results. By the way in case you are worrying about keeping your mac on all the time there is no need to worry the screen is what you have to allow to sleep after 10-15 minutes of inactivity so that you prolong its life.

  • My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

    When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots?  A specific one?
    Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
    What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

  • What is going on?  I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs.  It just says "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list", but that doesn't work.  What changed?

    All of a sudden I can't access my iPhoto files from any other programs (ie Photoshop, facebook etc.).  It just gives me this message below.  What the **** changed?  This wasn't happening yesterday.

    1 - close iPhoto.
    2 - go to your Pictures folder and open the iPhoto Library package as shown below:
    3 - locate a file named AlbumData.xml and move it to the Desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto.
    5 - relaunch the other programs and try the media browser again.

  • Cannot print to Adobe Acrobat X from any other program

    I recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows XP3 system.  Previously, the Adobe Printer installed by the Acrobat 8 was accessible from any other program.  I simply chose the Adobe PDF printer and the documents "printed" to Acrobat.  With the Acrobat X install, this no longer works.
    I've tried repairing the Acrobat X - no luck
    I've tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then allowing Acrobat to re-install the printer during the repair - no luck
    I've checked the Adobe PDF printer properties, and do not have "Enable advanced printing features" checked.
    I am using the print spooler.
    The Adobe PDF printer is using the Adobe PDF Converter driver.
    I've read through a number of discussions/posts, and have not found a solution.  I am working around the problem by printing to pdfFactory program and then saving as a .pdf, then managing the files in Acrobat X.
    If anyone is aware of a solution/location, please respond to this post.   

    Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.

  • Need help - wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode - iOS 6, iPhone 5, WPA Enterprise

    Hi, I have read a lot of discussions regarding wifi gets disconnected when it goes to sleep mode on iOS 6, mainly on iPhone 5.
    Here is my configuration and it just keeps disconnecting wifi connection once it goes to sleep mode
    iOS 6
    iPhone 5 white
    Purchased on Nov 3
    Work wifi config: WPA Enterprise
    I tried to manual add the wifi but it did not work. I tried all except for upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. I had a call to Apple Support and the guy told me I could not trust everything i read from here (well, how dare he is!!!). But I did all I could think of, and read from here.
    I am with ATT and I do not have a receiption at all at work. I have to turn it to airplane mode, and use the wifi connection. I put my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 side-by-side to compare. My iPhone with iOS 5.0 DOES NOT disconnect the wifi connection when it goes to sleep mode; but of course, we all know, iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0 does
    Any helps would be so much appreaticated. I am considering to return the phone to apple store, and cancel my 2 yrs extended contract with ATT. I might think to get another one once they have the issue fixed. It is no point to have an expensive paper-weight at work while I can't use the celluare nor wifi connection.
    Thanks again,

    Hi ChrisJ4203
    I have tested it at home wifi tonight. My phone and my wife's iphone (both iPhone 5 with iOS 6.0) do the same.
    With cellular data on (aka airplane mode OFF) with WIFI ON
    Wifi icon replaced by ATT's LTE icon once the phone was waken up from sleep mode; but within 2 secs, the wifi connection got reconnected again.
    With cellular data OFF (aka airplane mode ON) with WIFI ON
    WIFI icon disappeared from the top bar after both phones were waken up from sleep mode. It took a while to reconnect to the wifi network (more than 10 seconds).
    On a separate note, after i rebooted my phone, i can see it does "searching" the ATT's signal, then it shows "No Service", then next second, it shows ATT with full bars and LTE icon.
    My question is, i have never noticed the "No Service" showing up from my iPhone 4. The "No Service" shows up on my wife's phone too. When I first got her phone and was doing the installation, I had noticed the cell signal dropped from full bars to no service, then within few seconds, it went back up. I have not had time to test on her phone again, but it is something I will be monitoring for. I wonder if anyone has similar experience like this.
    anyhow, any feedback on how to fix the wifi got disconnected while in sleep mode would be very helpful.
    thanks,

  • I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?

    There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
    which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
    Metadata is the info on what the data IS. 
    Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess. 
    This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data.  One isnt enough, neither is two really.

    Was that your only copy of your priceless data?  Just that one external HD?

  • Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

    I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application.  when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.  I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream).  When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD.  All device are on current releases of software.  I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV.  How do I correct this?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
