In updating my iPod to 6.1.2, I received an error during the update. Now, my ipod is not rebooting. It continues to display a screen showing usb to Itunes picture.   Turning off and back on, it goes back to this picture. I don't know how to reset so that I can restore from my backup.
A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Computer hanging on closing lid and not going to sleep, indicator does not blink

i have a 1 month old Macbook Pro 13" i5 with 4Gb memory.
when i am closing the lid the computer is not going to sleep, hard drive continues to spin and power indicator does not blink and it remains solid.
on opening the lid again screen keep blank and does not show anything while i can hear spinning of hard drive. than i have to forcefully shut off the computer by pressing power key and than computer starts after that.
Apple support told me to press shift+control+option+power and than start computer, it fixed the problem only once and they told me to do it again when it comes again. but write now i am getting it everytime.

Hi guys -
First off make sure you don't have 'Wake for ethernet access...' enabled in System Preferences/Energy Saver/Options - I'd also run Disc Utility and repair your permissions as well. OS X requires 'maintenance routines' to be performed on a certain basis and you can use this free application to help you with that...Onyx.
Check the obvious as well - that you don't have any applications that might keep your Macbook awake ...some printer utilities do this for example.
After all this shut down and restart and hopefully things will be better - if not, there may be a chance that the mechanical parts that put your computer to sleep may be at fault ...and you'll need to visit an Apple dealer to verify this.
Hope some of this helps.

HT3964 My MacBook Pro i5 Dual Core has a hardtime waking up when the computer is put to sleep and only when it goes to sleep and has been asleep for a while. The indicator light flashes on and off for a while and then freezes. I've done an SMC reset once.

Does any one have the same problem with their MacBook Pro i5 Intel Dual Core? If the computer goes to sleep (not the screen) and is asleep for a while, when I try to wake it up it doesn't respond. I have to power it downn and restart it and sometimes it takes two or three attempts. Otherwise it works fine. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB. That is the only alteration doen to it. I've performed one SMC restart and now it wakes up but it takes a while and a gray screen shows up. When I insert a DVD it won't start automatically I have to start the application in order to see it. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro does not got to sleep mode

OS: 10.6.8
Since OS ??? I have the problem, that working with the account I normally use, may MacBook Pro will not go to sleep mode.
It is strange, but only this account is affected.

All accounts I work with are standard accounts without admin rights.
Can anybody help? E.g. some damaged *.plist to delete or so...

Computer not going to sleep when lid closed

My wife's new MacBook Air has a couple of problems we can't figure out. First sometimes the computer is not going to sleep when lid is closed and when we lift the lid everything is frozen.
Second, the user Library folder is not seeable in her user account. I know it's there because on the side bar there's a short cut to Preferences folder which we can open.
Strange behavior.
Thanks,
Ron

Ron,
The user library folder (~/Library/) is hidden by default in Lion. I assume Apple doesn't want people mucking around with the sensitive files in there. So this is normal behavior.
As for the freezing issue, I would suggest you reset your power management and perform a safe boot to clear out caches. You should also see if the issue persists after disconnecting USB perhipherals.
Here's how:
Power Management:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Safe Boot:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

MBP not going to sleep

I have had my MacBook Pro for a little over a week now and i am noticing that it is not going to sleep according to my energy saver preferences, or at all for that matter. Any ideas?

Something must be preventing it going into the appropriate sleep mode; either some software running or a lack of space for the sleepimage file (most unlikely at this point). Run /Utilities/Console, click 'All Messages' top left and then select Sleep from the Apple menu top left - there should be some lines in the Console Log that will give a clue about what's going on (post them here if you like).

IPod not going to sleep correctly

Hi there,
I am having an issue with my iPod 5G not going to sleep correctly. When I select the "Sleep" function on the menu screen the iPod with stop responding to the wheel, as per normal, BUT the screen only fades and does not blank itself completely. I can still see the menu items.
Is this right? I though the screen blanks completely, to save on battery power.
Advice and thoughts needed...cheers
iPod 30Gb 5G Windows XP

Hi, I have managed to change the battery of my Ipod
mini, but still after the Ipod is fully charged the
battery life still lasts only a few hours....
My assumption after reading all the technical
documents, is that even though the Ipod mini appears
to go to sleep (either by itself or after the play /
pause) button is pressed for a few seconds, that in
fact the Ipod isn't a sleep and the battery runs
down....
I have updated to the latest 1.4.1. software... only
recently happened, and replaced the battery (but
perhaps it didn't need it).
And it's 14 months old so out of warranty...
Does anyone know of issues with sleep mode not
working correctly? Is there a software fix for
this????
Cheers
I think I'm having the same problem - let me know if you find an answer and likewise I'll do the same. Is going to sleep the same as turning off? Mine doesn't even turn off when I press down the play/pause button!

PC is not going to sleep or shut down after upgrade to Windows10

Hello,I upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to win 10.Now when I close the lid or press the power button, the computer turns the screen off, turns the WIFI off, no more hard disk activity but it is not going to sleep.Also when I shut it down it goes throught the same procedure but never turns off.To start again, I have to keep pressing the power button to turn it off, then turn it on again.I did the powercfg - energy and got this in the report, "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend"When the computer had just started, I don't get that message, it also goes to sleep and shuts down normally, while later, I get this message in the report and no longer sleeps or shuts down.Any suggestion ??Thanks

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15 Notebook and issues with sleep or shut down after upgrade to Windows 10. Try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem. Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10. HP has been working closely with Microsoft on the development of Windows 10. I hope this helps. Thanks.

MacBook not going to sleep when connected to WiFi

Hi there,
my MacBook 3,1 is not going to sleep as long as it is connected to WiFi.
It starts the process of going to sleep as my VNC connection gets dropped but it stays awake. I can easily reconnect.
Everthing else is working fine. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I'm facing the same syptom. I tried many things and now havw to live with putting the MacBook to slee by hand. I had some other issues just before that:
1: The MB returned randomly from sleep while being closed. That was annoying. I think it was fixed after installing smart sleep and doing some cleanup in the preference files.
2: Then I was put "randomly" to sleep. I figured that came from overheating the processor (thus I'm gld it went to sleep). The fan speed control was set to constantly 2000 rpm. Installing fanControl helped.
3: Lid closing did not init the sleep mode and the backlight is not turning off. Niether does it wake up on opening when I put it io sleep manually (I have to press a key).
The sensor for closing the lid seems to work, if it is the same which controls the maximum brightnes of the sleep indicator light (pulsing). It is darker when the lid is closed.
I wonder if there is some settings tool.
Besides I think the issues started after the Software updates around 12th of dec. 2008, with MacOS10.5.6 and the EFI & SMC firmware updates.
I'm eager to get answers.
Kid regards, Ralf.

Just Updated to 10.5.2 on Feb 10, 2008, Display not going to sleep anymore

Greetings:
I am running on a Macintosh G4 Graphite (which has been heavily upgraded to a G4 1.8 Ghz processor (Sonnet Tech Encore) and it has 1 GB RAM and an upgraded ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition video card). Under 10.4 -10.5.1 everything worked fine.
I have my Power management settings set to put the display to sleep every 30 mintues and changed to 3 mins to check if something else was up.. but the display is definitely NOT going to sleep any more.
Any thoughts and is anyone else having this issue?
I have not yet trashed the preferences file, mainly because I am not sure where it lives.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello All Again:
Just wanted to update you on how I fixed the problem. Not sure what specifically in the combination fixed it, but it does now work
First I opened System Prefs > Energy Saver and hit the set to defaults button. I then exited System Prefs.
I then went into Terminal and ran pmset displaysleep 30 and exited terminal.
Lastly, I went into System Prefs > Energy Saver and selected 3 minutes. Exited System Prefs and waited and lo and behold it worked. So I rebooted my system and then set the timer back to 30 mins and it has been working again so far.
I suspect that the pmset from terminal may have refreshed something in the prefs file someplace, but again it was just something in that string of things I did that worked.
