After ram upgrade automatic sleep is not working anymore

Some days ago I installed a second 1GB ram module in my 20" Intel iMac. After this I noticed that the automatic sleep do not work anymore. The display turns off but the iMac not. The iMac makes sounds like he wants to do to sleep but could not.
I tried everything I could find... delete OS X powermanagement prefs, run Onyx, reset the SMC.
Do anyone have an solution for this?
Thanks

Does your iMac recognize the new memory module?
Yes.
You might try reseating the module in its slot, and it
would not be a bad idea to run Hardware Test from
your install/restore DVD, just to be sure there is
not an underlying hardware problem.
Already done - no problems reported
Is your new memory module of the same specifications as the
stock module?
Yes it is the same, I had a look on this before I bought it because I wanted to use the dual-channel mode.
Also, what are your settings for sleeping your iMac?
5 min to sleep display, 10 min to sleep the mac
One other thing you may wish to
try is updating your system of OS X 10.4.6 (your
profile indicates that your a running 10.4.5).
Was updated to 10.4.6. I just forget to change the forums pref
I more thing to mention when I start the sleep mode manually everything is fine. I also tried to disconnect all external USB/Firewire hardware and tried it with a fresh mac os install on my USB HDD.
Nothing helped.
Thanks

Yes, it is a problem.

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

After Mountain Lion download, FaceTime is not working anymore. Any ideas?

I have reinstalled mountain Lion again . This time, Facetime works when somebody calls me, and I can do calls from my Mac again. But the problem was still that I was not able to call my iPad, what I was able to do with Lion (I had one Apple-ID and two call adresses). The solution was this time to generate a second Apple-ID from the Facetime in my Mac (this doesn't affect your main Apple-ID, it's only used for Facetime). Now, it works! ;-)

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore

Anyone had issues with on/off sleep button not working anymore?

If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

Automatic rotation is not working anymore

My automatic rotation doesn't work anymore. Tried the side-button. Could it be the sensor is broken? Anybody an idea how to solve this other than having to send in Ipad for repair?

I apologize if you have already checked this, but is your side-button set to "Rotation Lock" or "Mute"? The control for whichever one the button is not set to will show up in the multi-tasking bar (double-click the Home button and scroll to the far left, I believe). Assuming that's been checked, maybe a hard reset (home button + power button held until the Apple logo pops up, then released) or you can also try Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings.

Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install fix does not work?

Hello:
After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
I found the following support article:
Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
Article: TS1543
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
delete Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

After installing upgrade some applications do not work.

I just had the chance to upgrade my computer and many of my old applications like apple works, cubase sl, clickndesign don't work anymore. I drag them to the trash but it won't empty it because the items are locked. How do I delete them?

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on resolving Trash problems. Why don't you visit the developers' sites and get upgrades for your software?

After full system update ppp does not work anymore

Well, I have this problem:
1) I install Arch Linux from the latest Core
2) I manually install the latest versions of wvdial and its dependences (xplc and wvstreams). This is an offline installation (because I can't set up internet without wvdial. So I save these packages on USB drive, and there I lanch pacman -U *.pkg.tar.gz)
3) I set up my GPRS internet connection (I use a mobile phone)
Everything works well (i.e.: I can ping google without problem).
Problems arise if I decide to update my system. In this case, indeed, after updating and rebooting, my connection doesn't work no more. Everything works fine until I update. After update, I can say hello to my ppp.
Then, I add some some details.
These are the last lines of messages.log after a successful connection (i.e.: before the full update of my system)
pl2303 4-2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected
usb 4.2: pl2303 now attached to ttyUSB0

The last lines of messages.log after the update are:

usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303
pl2303: prolific pl2303 USB to serial adaptor driver
PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
NET: registered protocol family 10
lo: disabled privacy extensions
pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0
As you can see, it's seems there are problems in "using ppp0 interface". Indeed, pppd starts, but ppp0 interface not. I can also add that ifconfig ppp0 up and similar commands do not work (ppp0: no such device, or something like that).
So, what can I do?

I don't use ppp so this is just a guess. However, after a recent upgrade I saw a message from pacman:
[2010-02-14 09:07] >>> The kernel-mode plugin has a new place.
[2010-02-14 09:07] >>> It's now located under /usr/lib/rp-pppoe/rp-pppoe.so

[2010-02-14 09:07] upgraded rp-pppoe (3.10-2 -> 3.10-4)
Could this be the problem?

I can't open iPhoto after yosemite upgrade - tried to reinstall, not working! Help!

Hi
Im new here so please bare with me if I've not included everything needed but I'm really struggling an after trying everything else on every other link I've found Im stuck!
I installed Yosemite a few weeks back. I have tried everything I have read on forums etc... to try to get iPhoto to work but nothing is helping. What am I missing out?
I upgraded iphoto in the ap store. I have tried uninstalling iPhoto as per advice from a other thread and when I re download it it still just has a grey screen with the circle going round an doesn't do anything. All I can do is force quit it.
I have my photos backed up. Im not concerned about getting them or them being wiped from my machine. My theory was to uninstall it and reinstall it fresh as new and just start again. My photo library was huge (talking well over 100,000 photos) so thought it might take a while but left it overnight an still nothing. iMovie and other programs working fine after the update. I just now have nowhere to do quick edits and view my pictures.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2009),2.66 GHz Intel Core i5,4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
How can I just start again an have a nice fresh iPhoto for me to upload my photos from my backup drive?

Hi, Léonie,
My iphoto is having the almost the same problem except that these are old iphoto files from 2010-2013... And I backed them up in external drive.
So, after upgrading and letting it repairing, iphoto asked me to quit the application. I'm sure it could be open with older version of iphoto...
Below is what I see step by step. Please help, I've got quite a few years memories there...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Solution approach to MANY issues where automatic sleep does not work

Hi
I had many issues for a long time where my machine would not go to sleep automatically. This annoyed me quite a bit.
I have read long ago that this might happen if an application writes standard output to the console. Those write "events" you do not notice as user as long as you never open the "Console" application and check...
my console was empty...
BUT I checked some other logs and I found that basically and frequent log written prevents the machine from automatically going to sleep.
In my case it was related to have "Firewall logging" enabled. The firewall logged every 3-4 minutes that it was listening..
I turned off "Firewall logging" and finally my machine goes to sleep again automatically after the specified time of no activity
Michael

Hello Michael:
That is interesting, and thanks for posting. However, I tested the premise on my own systems and the firewall logging did not prevent the Macs from sleeping on schedule. I do admit that I usually put them to sleep when I am finished with whatever I am doing.
I do have a strange anomaly that causes my iMacs to wake on random occasions, but that is not relevant to your issue.

After update Gedit and Epiphany plugins not working anymore

Gedit and Epiphany plugins stopped working after recent update. They are listed in plugin dialog, but can't be enabled. Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

I was able to successfully enable the plugins by re-compiling gedit using the ABS system.
However, I do think this is a bug, and that we should report it. I'm unfamiliar with that
process as well. If anyone can post a quick suggestion as to the best place to file a bug report,
I would appreciate it :-)
In the meantime, here's what I did. This was my first time using the ABS system, so
I went to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS All the below instructions are on the wiki,
these instructions are specific to gedit:
I installed abs using pacman.
# pacman -Sy abs
I edited /etc/abs.conf, and put a ! in front of the testing REPOS:
REPOS=(core extra community !testing)
As root, I ran
# abs
A bunch of stuff was downloaded to my /var/abs folder.
I make a directory in my home folder for gedit's stuff:
$ mkdir -p /home/yourusername/abs
I copied gedit's stuff from /var/abs to my abs folder:
$ cp -r /var/abs/extra/gedit/ ~/abs
$ cd ~/abs/gedit
I ran makepkg -s
$ makepkg -s
A bunch of stuff downloaded and compiled. When it was done, there was a new gedit-2.24.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz file in the same directory.
I told pacman to install the tar.gz file. Note that I did not have to uninstall gedit.
As root:
# pacman -U gedit-2.24.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
And that was it! I could then go into gedit and enable/disable whatever plugins I wanted.
Hope this helps,

3 beeps after ram upgrade, computer will not turn on, please help! I have tried everything.

I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inches, i recently upgraded the RAM from Crucial 8gb (4gbx2) to Crucial 16gb (8gbx2). I have done thies before, was er careful, and had antistatic clip, clean work surface, etc. When trying to turn the computer on again, i hear 3 slow beeps, repeated three different times, and the computer does not turn on. I have been looking around for solutions.
I have already swapped the memory modules, cleaned them, dusted the whole computer with air can, put the old ram in and still have the 3 beep problem. It no longer works even with the old ram. The computer was working perfectly fine before this.
Am i missin a step? I saw in a video on youtube that i have to reset the RAM with Alt+P+R+Power button, but nothing happens.
Please help, i am self employed and my Mac Book Pro is the computer i work with!
I have Lion operating system, everything updated very recently. Stock 512 gb hard drive.

Thanks for the quick reply Allan, i have reseated the ram 4 times, swapping top and bottom Ram modules, and pushing them in firmly and pressing down evenly with both hands.
I tried to put the old ram in as well in case the New RAM was bad, and that did not work anymore either. I am from Mexico and live in Mexico City, and it is not easy to send the RAM back and get an exchange. I will go to a MAC repair center on monday, but think i am missing some simple step somewhere. As i said this is my work computer and i really need it!
I have reread what i wrote before, to clarify my computer was working fine with the old 8 gigs of ram, i just wanted it to be faster, and bought 16 gb since they are now much cheaper than a few years ago.
