ITunes 11.04 is preventing Windows 7 from sleeping

I just did a fresh installation on a reformatted hard drive of Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate and iTunes 11.04. When iTunes is running, the computer will not go to sleep (aka standby). I've enabled many of the networking features of iTunes (Remote, Home Sharing, etc.), so I guess the next step in troubleshooting is to disable these one at a time. Has anyone else already done this? Any ideas where to begin?

How to prevent hard disks from sleeping

Hello
I have recently installed a SSD for system drive in my machine, and now realise what a bottle neck the old, standard hard disk had been. Booting is now extremely fast, as is opening applications. This speed has alerted me to another problem. My hard disks keep falling asleep, which slows down operantion of the machine significantly. For instance, to log into this forum, I used 1Password. When selecting the log in menu item from 1Password, there was several seconds delay before one of the hard disk (I have four inside the machine, one external Drobo, and one external eSata drive) came alive. When it had, Safari could take me into the site. There constant delays like this when I use Safari, for example. These delays are very frustrating, so I want to keep all my disks awake constantly.
Thing tried so far:
The worst problem was the Drobo, because it has three disks inside that wake up one after the other, a very slow process, and the Drobo is slow in itself. So I installed a little script that does a touch command every five minutes, to prevent the Drobo from sleeping. It seems this has helped. But the other disks keep falling asleep all the time. I have set Cocktail to prevent all disks from sleeping - no effect. The Energy Computer Sleep setting is set to Never.
Any ideas will be much appreciated. This sleep issue keeps bugging my all day long.

In the Energy Saver system pref, are any of the boxes checked?
If it were me, I guess I'd try clicking the 'restore defaults' button in Energy Saver, restart the computer, and then go back into the Energy Saver and set the computer sleep to either 3 hours or never, and uncheck the 'put hard disks to sleep when possible' box. You might try 3 hours instead of never and see if that makes a difference.

What is preventing my Mac from sleeping?

Ever since installing Lion, both of my Mac Pros don't sleep properly.
When the machine wakes, the Mail notification sound, sounds many, many times. EG: If I have receives 100 emails since sleep, it notifies me 100 times.
How can I tell what is preventing my Mac from sleeping, or is this multiple mail sound something else?

There are few threads in this site discussing the same issue.
Causes sited are
File sharing as mentioned in your post,
Recently installed antivirus software,
External HD not properly ejected,
Print Que not cleared
and Mail constantly checking for new mail that you can change in Mail > Preference >General.
Solutions suggested are
Reset PRAM and SMC
and Repair Disk using Recovery HD.
Best.

Logic Pro prevents MacBook Pro from sleeping

I've been having trouble of late with my MacBook Pro -- it has been refusing to go into sleep mode on its own. I sat down and did a bunch of careful experiments turning various things off and on, and I've narrowed it down to Logic Pro 8! If this application is running, my MBPro will not sleep automatically. If I exit the application, it sleeps like a baby. In any case, I can force the machine to sleep manually no problem.
I am not sure whether this problem first occurred with 10.5.4 or 10.5.5.

If in fact it is Logic preventing the system from sleeping (and I think it probably is) this is new since version 8 and is probably the direct result of all the complaints version 7 received.
I'm afraid I don't find these responses to be very compelling, sorry.
First, it has always been trivially easy to turn off the sleep function on an Apple machine. Everyone who owns an Apple knows how to do this simple thing.
Second, sleep does not cause failure of any kind for properly working audio hardware and other attached devices. I have three audio interfaces connected to my machine, plus an eSATA drive, external video, and ethernet cable, and the machine sleeps and wakes up just fine. No problem. This has nothing to do with audio or real-time anything, it's just a question of writing a device driver correctly. It would be the same for a printer or a camera or anything else attached to the computer. I have one device that does not sleep and wake properly: a western digital hard drive when connected by eSATA via the ExpressCard/34 slot. Again, there's no relation to audio or recording or Logic.
I wonder if there's anyone from Apple reading this newsgroup who can comment on the actual intention. If it is indeed to disable sleep, it would be nice to know. If on the other hand, it's unintentional, maybe it means that some other setting is wrong or there's something to be done about it.

Preventing windows XP from logging into Load Balancer

With Windows XP support essentially ended earlier this year, I was wondering if there was a way to prevent a computer running XP from logging into my hosted environment via RDP (Terminal Services 2008R2) protocol. Let's say for example that someone has a
windows XP machine compromised with a key logger...I would need a way to prevent that computer from logging into my environment.
I've looked at trying to get a GPO to block RDP Client settings based on protocol however XP and Vista share the same V7 RDP protocol.
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From your description it seems that you want to block particular windows XP computer to access the RDS Server. If this is the case, then you can do following different steps.
You can configure RD Gateway with RD CAP and RD RAP policy to control the access from computers and users and force the computer to use the RD Gateway setting.
The other one, you can filter traffic in your router or firewall to deny traffic to the terminal server from certain ports or IP addresses. (Quoted form below thread).
More information.

Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Any way to prevent macbook air from sleeping when lid closed?

I believe there is no way to keep your macbook/air running when you shut the lid.
I am running a background job where I am downloading a huge amount of data from the internet, which is coming through slowly (other applications could be where I am running a web server....). I want the machine to be running, but not keep the lid open - since I might want to move the laptop, not leave the screen/keyboard exposed.
Where can I request Apple to add support for this behavior? Or did they anticipate this request in Mountain Lion already?
Any suggestions? Others who would like the same feature?

NoSleep makes closing of your MacBook lid possible without going into sleep mode. Now you shouldn't plug your mouse and monitor to stay computer awake - just check a tick in the System Preferences and continue downloading of huge files and watching favorite movies over the network with lid closed.

Team Folder in the past was managed by administrators. Administrator can create, edit, delete team folders. The team folder can be published to a group of users, including Active Directory group. It is very convenient to share files and folders with a group of users in the same team. As team groups bigger, it may not be convenient for administrator to manage all the team folders. So it makes sense for administrator to assign some users to be able to manage team folder that they own themselves. Role Manager It usually starts with the role manager by creating a role with Add/Edit/Delete permissions and assign it to users or Active Directory groups.

Prevent Windows Search from indexing PST contents in Outlook

Running Windows 8.1 with Windows Search, and Office 2013 with more that 20GB in more than 10 PSTs and OSTs, searching becomes very slow after indexing everything. Reindexing has no change. If I exclude Outlook it's very fast.
There is an option in Outlook search ribbon -> Search Tools -> Locations to search. I removed most of the PSTs (accounting for 75% of the contents), but still ALL PSTs and OSTs get indexed (although they won't be searched).
This makes using Windows Search nearly impossible (e.g. searching using the charm thing takes 30 seconds).
How can I have Windows Search index ONLY the PSTs and OSTs that I specifically want?
Is there any configuration, registry stuff or programatic workaround to exclude from indexing (not searching)?
Thank you.
Andy.PT

Hi,
Still, as mentioned above, I don't have such a method to choose which to be included in Indexing and which to be excluded.
The only thing that I find which is close to your request is this:
If the method above isn't helpful in your scenario(as you mentioned), you can try some 3rd-party tools/add-ins to realize a new search function which may meet your request.

Preventing Windows 7 From Automatically Shutting Down

Hi there,
I am transferring a large amount of data and need to leave the PC on overnight. I believe I have configured Windows so that automatic restarts for updates are disabled, yet the PC still sometimes shuts down when left on for long periods.
Any advice on how to prevent automatic shutdowns is hugely appreciated.
Many thanks...

If your computer is actually shutting down and not going into sleep mode then you probably need to look in task scheduler and see if there is a task that launches "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" at some scheduled time.
If the PC is actually just going into sleep mode then use Control Panel to alter your power plan in System and Security, power options.
It may even be possible that the BIOS has a setting for your PC to turn off at some point. Although I doubt that but would check the BIOS settings.

SG 300 seems to be preventing Windows systems from get an IP via Windows server DHCP

All the basics from the server are working and have been for years. I would appreciate not being asked to check the basics as "is the DHCP server registered".
There seems to be an issue where the VLAN is preventing DHCP from working. I have also read that MAC addresses don't get registered until there is a write. The issue also seems to roam. It affects different PC's at different times. I had this issue with this switch approximately a year ago.
Can I at least get some direction until I can post the firmware version and config. Its a busy small business and this issue is extremely unpredictable.
Thank you

Hi
check if you have DHCP snooping disabled (at least try to turn it off and see if it helps)
check if you are running Rapid version of STP protocol
check if all ports toward end-user devices are configured as spanning-tree portfast ports. if you are not use portfast, your port transition to forwarding state could takes longer time resulted that all DHCP discover packets from client will be just dropped on switchport site until port transits to forwarding state.

Why is Firefox preventing Windows 7 from shutting down? I must force quit.

When I try to shut down Win7 (Home Premium) , Firefox hangs and must be manually force quit. If I close Firefox before shudown, there is no issue. There are no warnings when I open or close Firefox (3.6.8).

I have the same problem. I run 3 different PCs, all with Windows 7 x64, FireFox 9 in all cases and on all systems this problem happens. When I shutdown Windows while FF is still running, FireFox will hang up and it has to be force closed. When I exit FF before shutting windows down, no problems occur.

New WRT610Nv2 router preventing Windows Update from functioning properly

I have installed my new WRT610Nv2 router and everything is great except 1 thing. It does not allow Windows Vista Update to run successfully. The update process runs automatically, identifies the updates, but gives an Error Code 646 after it appears to run through the whole process. Even after my PC security and the Router Firewall are completely disabled, the update process is not able to complete successfully. I have since manually downloaded the updates and installed them, but I want to avoid doing this for every update.
What do I need to configure on my router to allow the Windows Update process to complete automatically.

Yes, I have completely disabled my firewall and security software on my PC and tried it. All my updates worked cleanly up until I installed the router. I use Norton Internet Security v17, and I my ISP is Rogers via cable.
Its difficult to pinpoint because Windows Update was able to scan my PC and determine which updates were needed (This would not happen with my firewall enabled), and the 3 updates appeared to run straight through to the end. I will try the laptop (wireless) but its still running XP.
I figure that there is some option on the router that I have not set that is interfering in the process. I installed the updates manually so at this point all I can do is wait until the next set of patches to recreate the problem.

How Can I Prevent My Computer From Sleeping

I left my computer overnight to transfer footage in Final Cut Pro. My settings on ENergy Saver are set so that the "Put Hard Disk to Sleep WHenever Possible" is unchecked. However when I woke up this morning the screen was black and asleep and so was my external harddrive - a G Drive. So none of the files went through. How can I stop this?

Hi Molly, if it's not honoring your settings, & not sleeping due to heat or such, might try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more & setup your Energy Saver prefs.
