After my mac falls asleep, i have to put in my password in querty altough I work in Azerty.

Hi,
I use an Azerty keyboard, as I am from Belgium.
When my Mac falls asleep it, I have to put in my password in Querty.
Once log in it reverts back to Azerty.
Is this a bug, or is there a solution to this.

Mac falls asleep while ordering Photobook

I use an iMac G4 with the latest OS and iPhoto.
When ordering photobooks, I experience my mac falling asleep (i.e. 'lighthouse mode'). My internet connection is wireless, and I know the Mac sometimes looses the connection with my airport; but finds it back my itself. iPhoto can handle this; it just stalls sending, and continues automatically.
The mac itself however falls asleep after 1h no activitiy; but iPhoto running and having network activity doesn't mean 'now activity'.
I can overcome the problem by switching of sleeping in energysaving options; but it's anoying.
I also experience it sometimes with programs like Realplayer.
Does anyone know how mac defines 'activity'; and how I can overcome this issue?

Martijn567:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I don't know how Apple defines "activity" but I know that you have to turn of the sleep option when you're encoding and/or burning iDVD projects to disk image or directly to disk. So it seems to be a system wide issue for operations that rely primarily only on CPU work. It's just the nature of the beast.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

My daughter is 7 and I don't allow her to download anything on her iPod touch. I have to put in my password for anything to be downloaded. Recently when putting in my password, I am being ask to enter in an additional email address for verification purposes. I need to know why this is. I have 1 email address that I use and don't see a reason to create a additional email address.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal?
Thanks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Hi Lawrence. I'll go through the process. I click on SMTP under outgoing mail server. My primary server, smpt.aol.com is on. The next screen says server, which is on, then underneath that is the outgoing mail server. Everything under that heading is greyed out, which includes the host name, my user name, password (which says optional), user ssl (which is on), authentication, then server port 587. I need to change my password where it says optional, but it is all greyed out and won't allow me to do so. Thanks very much for your help!

If you are wanting not to have to enter it then you can't, but if you purchase another item within 15 minutes of entering your password then you shouldn't be asked to re-enter it.

Mac falls asleep when battery gets down to roughly, half charged

it falls asleep once it gets to this point, and then i wake it up and the charge has gone right down.
Does it need to be calibrated? or is the problem bigger than that?

Most likely you need a replacement. There are known issues with MBP batteries, and an extension of the battery warranty to 2 years, as described on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Go to System Profiler (Apple menu > About this mac > More info) and click on Power. If the Full Charge Capacity is less than 4400 mAh for a 15" or less than 5000 mAh for a 17" MBP, your battery is failing. If your Cycle Count is less than 300, your battery is failing prematurely and Apple will replace it for free. If that's the case, call Apple or visit an Apple Store for a free replacement.

How can I get rid of the spinning colored ball?? I has been spinning on the page that i have to put in my password. I have been waiting for 3 hours !

I just purchases my macbook pro about two weeks ago. There is a spinning colored ball on the page where i put in my password to log in. It has been spinning for three hours. What am i suppose to do??

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

After your mac is asleep

I have notice that if my mac goes to sleep after use it will not recognize the itunes library on my ATV2. I will wake the computer up and it will still not recognize the library on the ATV2.
I will put the ATV2 to sleep and then wake it up and sometimes that will work.
Sometimes I have to turn off homeshare on the ATV2 and then turn it back on.
Both of this things will get the library to show up again. I'm wondering if anyone else notice this issue? It's not a huge deal it's just more annoying then anything. The wife is not extremely tech savvy so she gets bogged down with it and always calls me when this issue arises. Besides never letting the computer go to sleep any other thoughts on how to avoid this?

My advice and that of others on the forum would be to uninstall BTNetprotect. It can cause problems on some computers and is a resource hog. Do a search of the forum to see the problems.
If you do want to uninstall BTNetprotect use this guide and make sure you use the BTNetprotect/McAfee removal tool after you have restarted your computer.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13523
If you do want to re use BT Netprotect, uninstall it using this guide along with the BTNetprotect/McAfee removal tool after a restart and then reinstall. This might resolve your problem.
http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/38369/
While there have been no cases of a Mac getting a virus it is more likely that you will get malware such as a Trojan which can cause redirection of websites etc.
It's up to you but I would install something.

My Mac falls asleep automatically!!

I need help fast diagnosing my Mac Problem!
Out of nowhere yesterday my machine started to automatically shut down and go into sleep mode without me touching anything or making any settings changes. The screen goes blank. The hard drive winds down but comes back to life once I click my mouse. This is now happening every few seconds and I cannot even run diagnostics before it shuts down.
It's a PowerMac G4 (Quicksilver with 5 hole front). About a month ago I upgraded to OSX Tiger 4.7 and was running fine with no problems.
I check energy saver and made sure it was set to 'never' for the sleep selection. I disabled my hot corners but it still keeps doing it.
I even unplugged the system and vaccumed out the dust from the fan grates thinking it was overheating and powering down as to protect from overload but still no go.
I don't know if this is software or hardware related issue or if I picked up a virus. I've never seen or heard of this problem before and can't find any info on it.
If anybody has any information or suggestions please respond here or email me at [email protected]

It is incredibly rude to threadjack other users' topics. You posted this same verbage in three other topics in the Power Mac G5 forum, and to top it off, your problem isn't even related to a G5!
What you should do is create your own topic (as you've done here, albeit in the wrong forum) so that any responses will be grouped, and you and others won't have to search through several different topics to see what others have written.
