How do I keep my Mac from going from sleep mode to shut off mode?

Sometimes when I open my Mac it takes several minutes to get to the login screen. How do I keep it just in sleep mode? Or is that not possible? Thanks,
Bay

Bay,
if it takes several minutes for your Mac to get to a login screen, then it sounds like that should be the problem to be addressed. Which model MacBook Pro do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

Setting Up a New Mac From Two Different Time Machine Back-ups?

Greetings Apple People,
I am planning on getting a new iMac. Right now my wife I are still using our separate MacBooks from college. Both of them have Time Machine back-ups. We would like to setup our new iMac to have two different users. Is it possible to setup each of the users on the new iMac from our respective Time Machine back-ups?
I know you can do this seamlessly with one Time Machine back-up, but can you do it from two different back-ups, essentially merging the two, while keeping the separate user profiles?
Thanks!

Follow the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide using one computer as the source on first boot. Then, hook up the second computer and use the Migration Assistant to transfer the second user account and nothing else. Don't use the TM backup because it's much slower doing it that way than directly from each machine.

My time capsule backs up every hour. how do I change this to daily backup, my time capsule backs up every hour. how do I change this to daily backup

My Time Capsule backs up every hour.. How do I change this to back up daily?

I have two time capsules (1TB, 2TB) and want to use one for another set of Macs (my Family). How do I set both up and keep all the Macs from joining both Time Capsules?

I Have two Time Capsules (1TB and 2TB) and want to set one for business and the other for family - networking seperate Macs to each.

Both should be plugged into the network with ethernet.. if at all possible.
If you have a router already then both bridged otherwise one set to router and one to bridge.
How do you access the TC? Ethernet or wireless?
Are they located in the same area?
You could set different wireless networks.. if they use wireless.. this is nice easy way to do it.
You can set user account in the TC you want the business one to join with.. that will prevent access by the family.
So there is a number of ways.. none are particularly secure btw.. the TC is a home not a business device.. if anybody wants access they press the reset for one second.. pofff all the passwords are default for 5min.. to allow people who forget their password to get access.
On ML you can encrypt TM backups.. this is better for security if that is the problem.. and still use different user profile to prevent access.

How do I migrate multiple sparsebundles from my old time capsule to my new time capsule?

My old 1tb time capsule died on me last week. I bought a new 2tb model. I have put the old disk in an enclosure and I can access the data on it.
The old time capsule was used to backup three Mac's. How do I migrate the three sparebundles to the new time capsule? I want to keep all the backup histories.
I found lots of sites with tips but they all assume that the old TC was used to backup only one Mac.
I run Lion on my main Mac and all time machines were configured to backup via wireless.

It worked. Kinda. I think.
I did the steps outlined in option 3. It took 2,5 days to do it (maybe because I had already switched to wireless).
Once the copy of the files was complete I actived time machine and selected the new time capsule as my backup. It said there was no backup history. But then it started backuping. Instead of the full disk (as I thought it would do, as it said there was no backup history) it only did about 35Gb. Which was what I had expected. I had just upgraded to Lion. After that backup it immediatly started again and did a backup of 40 Mb. (Why ???).
After that was done I started time machine and all the old backups were there (eg 2010) as a test I restored a file from Jan 2010. And it worked.
So now the other two sparsebundles to do.
@Jolly Giant: Thank you for the help and advice.

HT201514 How to restore from a non Time Capsule back up

I used an external HD to back up for the first time my Mac Book Pro with OSX, after that I bought a Time Capsule which has been my first choice to back up and restore, however some of the configuration from the first time I used my computer was lost, and now I cannot use the first backup to restore it as the first time because it does not mount as back up.
Is there anyway to restore at least the system from that back up, and the files from the new ones?

Copying Time Machine data is not a great plan.. I notice your Mac is using 10.4 and TM was not introduced before 10.5.. so when you say your Western Digitial Time Capsule has your backups .. how did you do them?
When you say wired is this ethernet or is this usb cable or even firewire cable??
You can copy files to the real TC.. (WD is not a TC).. but that seems a waste.. why not just keep the WD as an archive device in a draw.. if there is data you need on it.. copy it to the computer and set TM to back it up.

How do I find the MAC address for the time capsule?

I am trying to install 2T time capsule as my main router. Telus my internet supplier allows me to in install the MAC address for the static ip that I am going to use. But where is the MAC address on the cube or how do I get it?

On the bottom label it should list the MAC address.
If you happen to still run the original.. ie decent airport utility it has all that info right in front of you.
But you see that was before Apple reduced the airport utility to the status of a toy..
Pretty pictures no info.. think kid's book.
See very very pretty.. as a UTILITY though.. useless.

Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior.

How do I keep my background from changing every time I log out an than back into my sign in?

My account is the head account for our iMac. I just added a sign-on for my brother an ever since adding him it never fails. Every time I log out and than back into my account my background goes to that ugly space swirly background as opposed to the pic of my daughter. I've never had this probably prior to adding that new account. And prior to this my husband has his own sign in and we also have a guest account. So, I don't know why this would be changing my background every time! Really frustrating! Thanks for your help!

How can I keep iPhot 09 from starting up every time I boot my Intel iMac? I am using OSX 10.6.8

How can I keep iPhoto 09 from opening every time I boot my Intel iMac? I am using OSX 10.6.8

IF it is opening in import mode:
Do you have an external drive or device (iPhone, USB key) plugged into iPhoto? If so, there are some photo files on it that make iPhoto think it has photos to import. Remove the device, delete the photos or move the photos to another folder on the device.
If it is not openeing in import mode, it must be in your startup items. Drag it from there.

How do I transfer info from my old time capsule to a new one

How do I transfer all data from my old time capsule to a new? (latest model)

Are you talking about TM backups??
I would consider carefully if it is not better to start over.. TM becomes more problematic as the backups increase in age.. you can archive off the backups from the old TC if you need to store them.
Transfer TM backups..

For data .. copy and paste.. but make sure you turn off wireless and use ethernet as it must copy files via the computer.. by wireless this is dead slow.

How do i keep my ipad from going to sleep during presentations

I'm using Evernote for notes during a presentation. How do I keep the iPad from going to sleep so I can read my notes?

Bey you have have an MS Exchange account on the iPad (through your work) and they are limiting the options you have (disabling 1, 3, 4 & Never).
Try this...
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select the Exchange account then set it Off.
Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and you should see all options.
Set it to what you want.
Then turn on the Exchange account.
The Auto-Lock settings should stay.
However, if you go back and view the Auto-Lock settings, it will change back toonly 2 and 5.

How do i keep my mini from going to sleep

In lion how do i keep my Mini from entering sleep mode? Since the upgrade I have not had any luck keeping the system from sleeping and need to remotely access my machine.

If you are connected by HDMI, the mini (of varying years, including mid 2010) will go to sleep when the HDMI port shuts off. It has nothing to do with signals sent from the other end.
In the command line window, type caffeinate -s. The mini will stay awake until you quit this command (ctrl-c) or close the command line window. This is a Mountail Lion command (not sure if it was there in Lion)
The application caffeine will not over-ride the HDMI because it is using the -i option. -s is the key. My thanks to the Apple store gang in DE (about 6 of them consilting) to help figure this out.
