27" iMac mid 2010, Mountain Lion, not sleeping...

I have just upgraded my 27" iMac mid 2010 to Mountain Lion (Now running 10.8.2). Ever since it won't go to sleep and neither will the display turn off when I set it to go off automatically in the Energy Saver preferences. After finding other posts experiencing the same issue I've tried repairing permissions and resetting both the SMC and PRAM a few times to no avail, even restarted in safe mode to try clear possibly corrupt caches. It's really frustrating as I can't leave stuff downloading overnight as the display won't go off. I can easily put the iMac to sleep through the menu or the power button though. I didn't have this issue the other day before upgrading.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Have just tried, neither iMac nor display went to sleep automatically in safe mode.
I have an apple keyboard, and a joystick all attached via USB and an apple mouse via Bluetooth. And occasionally my external HDD for Time Machine via USB.
Checked Console as well. Am setting display sleep to 1 minute and waiting, no messages appear in Console, nothing happening even after 5 mins...

Mid 2010 Mountain Lion Kernel Trap Errors

How does a flawless Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard for three years become unstable after updated OS to Mountain Lion? I had the Apple store check out the hardward before my Applecare expired, done clean reinstall of the system and all my additional software and it continues to be unstable. Crashes within seconds of startup and sometimes doesn't crash for days. I installed a new partition with a clean OS using Mountain Lion and I still experience these crashes.
I have read many of the articles and I am extremely frustrated disatisfied with my Macbook Pro now and have no viable solution to getting back my bullet proof Mac. Does anyone have a viable solution?

This Macbook Pro was configured by Apple with 8 Ggs of memory. There is no non-standard hardware either on this Mac. The Genius Bar tested all the hardware on this with no errors. They reinstalled Mountain Lion from scratch and I reinstalled all my software from scratch. I used recovery to verify the disk and there were no errors on the system files. The error report was from the partition crash and I created the partition with Mountain Lion OS from scratch.
Here are the other two crashes in a row from the clean partition:

Random crash on MBP (Mid 2010) - Mountain Lion

Hi guys, I'm currently using this machine, it was given to me by a colleague that use it for almost two years without any issues.
When I got the machine I just did the following:
1. Format the hard drive (HDD) and replace it with my working SSD (OCZ Vertex 2 180GB)
2. Install a brand new Mountain Lion, Office and a few programs (nothing harmless or complex I think, istat for example)
Since my first day with the machine I am experiencing some random crashes, I've readed A LOT about the Video Issue with this particular MacBook Pro but I didn't think I have it cause the machine was working perfectly before I reinstalled the software and the failure behavior is quite different as I have readed so far.
My machine just pop up the gray screen whit this message (http://roberthuttinger.blogsite.org/images/kernel_panic.jpg) that says that something went wrong and ask me to press a key to reboot the machine, when I do it I get an error report that i don't understand.
My CPU temp always is between 45 and 80 and mostly of the time is around 60 C.
I'll appreciate any help or Ideas you may have,
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply, here you go,

Wifi turns off after screen lock macbook mid 2010, mountain lion

I want my wifi to be turned on permanently, when macbook is on.
However, when I lock screen or it is locked after period of inactivity, wifi turns off.
Are there any settings, any config files, any system tools which could be used to tell my MB 2010 not to turn my wifi off.

I think I may have found a solution. I feel like a fool for not thinking of it earlier.
System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Computer Sleep > Never
This worked overnight, even with the screen locked.
Obviously, you could do the same for the Battery version of the panel.
Hope this helps.

Playback of iTunes Contents Stored in iMac mid-2010 (upgraded to Mountain Lion) using Apple TV

I am not 100% certain that upgrading to ML is giving me issues with Apple TV playback (not mirroring) but I AM having trouble with playback of music and movie stored in iTunes/iMac mid-2010.
I have an iMac mid-2010, 3rd generation Apple TV, cable broadband connection, and linksys wireless router.
Ever since I upgraded my iMac from snow leopard to ML (and yes I followed all directions and updated my apple TV as well to the latest software version), Apple TV takes as long a 5 to 10 minutes to play a song in my iTunes/iMac.
I thought it was the broadband or wi-fi connection so I tried netflix streaming using apple TV and it was fine.
Playback of movies stored in iTune/iac are also affected and it takes a long time to load as well.
In addition, once the content is playing, there's lagging/buffering and the playback stalls.
What's going on? Is it the speed of the wi-fi or broadband as suggested by Apple troubleshooting tip and this forum? The only thing that has changed from the time that playback of itunes contents using apple TV was working vs. not is the upgrade to ML.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Recommendations?

So by switching your router to one that was WiFi "N" allowed you to obtain higher speed and allowed you stream from your computer to your apple TV/TV without any issues
My Current Router is an older Wireless G Router but I have no issues at all with this router it works with all my devices at home and I havent had any problems what so ever. However my room is the only room in the house in which I stream wirelessly to my TV most other devices are just tablets and other laptops that are connected to the network.
Also I was wondering if this is more of a networking issue rather than a graphics card or OS issue? Im not even sure where this falls in place.
Also I would just like to thank you Gnarlodious for your input

HT1338 How can I upgrade to Lion? My iMac cannot support Mountain Lion but I do not see Lion in the app store anymore.

I want to upgrade my 2006imac with 3GB ram but mountain lion requires 4gb. Can I purchase mountain lion in the app store and it will install lion or will it just charge me $20 for an OS I can't use?

A 2006 iMac cannot run Mountain Lion at all. Mountain Lion only requires 2 GB of RAM, but your model has a video controller which doesn't support features required by Mountain Lion, so Mountain Lion does not support your model. The earliest iMac which can run Lion is the mid 2007 model (aluminium body). A full list of supported models is available here.
If you attempt to buy Mountain Lion in the App Store using your 2006 iMac, the sale will not proceed and you will get an error message saying you cannot purchase Mountain Lion because it is not compatible with your computer. You will not be charged.
If you are currently running Snow Leopard and want to upgrade to Lion, but didn't already purchase Lion (e.g. for use on another computer), it is apparently possible to place a special order for Lion via a telephone call to Apple Customer Support. (I say "apparently" because there have been reports that Apple told some people this was the correct solution, but early attempts to place an order were refused with Apple Support claiming they weren't selling Lion at all. I think this was a temporary situation and it should be resolved by now.) There are links to support telephone numbers here.
Apple will charge you the standard retail price for Lion (e.g. US$29.99 in the US) and supply you with a "redeem code" for the App Store. That is entered by going to the Featured category in the toolbar, and clicking Redeem under the Quick Links heading on the right side. Once your code is redeemed, Lion will be added to the list of purchases for your Apple ID, and you can download and install it.
If you had already bought Lion for use on another computer, you can re-download it from the Purchases list in App Store, but there might be a couple of catches:
1. Some people have found that Lion was added to their list of hidden purchases. You need to unhide it first. Do this by going to your Account page (under Quick Links, or "View My Account" under the Store menu in the menu bar). If you have hidden purchases, there will be a "View Hidden Purchases" link, and from there you can unhide Lion.
2. If you are running Lion and want to redownload the installer on that computer, you may need to hold down the Option key when clicking on the Purchases heading in the toolbar, to enable the download button for Lion.

I have an iMac (Mid 2010) and am running 0sx 10.8.5 and the WiFi always loses connection during sleep mode. I have seen numerous different solutions none of which seem to work. Can anyone help?

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
          Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
          Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. This step shouldn't be necessary, but has been advised by Apple Support in some cases, apparently as a workaround for a bug. Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences. If applicable, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner to unlock the settings. Enter your administrator login password when prompted.
Select the Power Adapter tab and uncheck the boxes marked
          Wake for Wi-Fi network access
and
          Enable Power Nap...
if present. Then, if the computer is a MacBook, select the Battery tab and uncheck
          Enable Power Nap...
11. Reinstall OS X.

My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick

my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

My iMac came with mountain Lion preinstalled. I wish to make a Bootable USB Disk. I find that I am not allowed to d/load Mountain Lion from the App Store. I wish to make a purchase. Why can't I?

All he needs is the recovery disc assistant. It's a free download.

Since I upgraded to Lion, my computer (iMac mid 2010) intermittently freezes.

Since I upgraded to Lion 10.7.3, my computer (iMac mid 2010) intermittently freezes. The mouse moves, but I can't do anything. I can unfreeze it every time by calling up the Force Quit box and then excaping out. I've tried everything (all upgrades installed including firmware, new version of Flash), but it still freezes. Any help is appreciated.

There are a couple of things to do. First is restart in the Recovery Partition and repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility and Repair the Disk. How you do this is when you hear the startup tone hold down the Option key and choose the Recovery Partition. Choose Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions at least twice. Then while you are in DU run Repair Disk twice. Quit Disk Utility and restart however restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches, it's possible one or more has become corrupt. After it has fully restarted then restart normally and test.
If you get the same behavior post back to try some other items.
BTW how much Free RAM does the machine have. You can find this out in Activity Monitor which is in Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor and click the System Memory tab.

Jim

Ops I replied to myself in error.....
Tom:
I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

HT3986 After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system

After installed win7 on my mac pro(mid 2012/mountain lion), I can not connect internet and where can i find drivers in mountain lion system.
I donot think I have a install disk when I bought my mac, there is only a disc partition for recovery system.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to install Boot Camp drivers. On Mountain Lion, you have to download them.
First, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into OS X. Then, open Boot Camp Assistant and select the option to download the drivers. You will have to burn them into a DVD or USB drive, so after downloading them, restart and install them into Windows

IMac Mid 2010 kernel panic after wake up from sleep mode

Hello.
One month ago starting my iMac Mid 2010 occasionally goes to kernel panic. When I click on mouse or press any key, system starting up, but very very slowly, (time on logon screen stay same without refresh) and after few minutes (from 1 - 10 minutes) kernel panic message is appear on screen. I have Mac OS 10.7.5 version installed.
Is there any tool to debug what is wrong. Windows OS has WinDebuger to detaily look inside to core dump and analyze it and in my experience almost allways is possible to detect root of problem.
First of all i was try HW diagnostic from DVD, succesfully passed. Then I run Permission Repair procedure, there were many folders and files with different ACL as system expected.
It is possible that graphic card driver is wrong or has bug from my point of laic view.
I have minimum application with kext installed into system:
VMware fusion
NTFS-3g ( long time same version )
There is part of long kernel panic message:

IMac mid 2010 display keeps crashing.

Hi,
I have a display issue as shown on the photo attached with my iMac mid 2010 21.5" OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 for about a week now. I'm not sure if it is related but it all started after I installed the lasted Mavericks' updates.
These kind pixels keeps coming randomly sometime as vertical line or just flickering around at no particular time though I noticed when I turn the machine on in the morning I get to use it for a little longer until it happens again. In general everything stop responding and only the mouse moves around but nothing else works or respond to the mouse. Also a few time the display just shut down without warning well it turn black as I'm not sure if the machine was still working or not.
I've tried several things so far with no success as it keeps coming back. I tried erasing the disk, reinstalling Mavericks, deleting third part apps. Even reinstalling OSX Mountain lion with the time machine and other things but it still not working.
I'm going to take this Mac to an Apple Authorised Service Providers but that's 45 minutes away so I was hoping to fix it at home if any of you have or know a solution that would be great.
Thank you very much,

Apple Hardware Test doesn't catch everything, so even if it doesn't find a problem, you could have one.

My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so. Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen.

My 21" display on iMac (mid 2010) is overheating so much I can't sit at my computer for more than an hour or so. Very hot. Also, some shadowy shapes appear in the background on the upper left of the screen. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!
