Automatic sleep/shutdown does not work.

I work for Micro Center's Apple Department, and we have 12 Macs on display. To aid with shutting down our store, each computer is set to automatic shutdown or sleep. When the dialog box opens "This Mac will shut down in 60 seconds," the counter does not go down, and the computer stays on indefinitely. This happens with all of our Macs. With 10.5 Leopard, this did not happen. Since upgrading to 10.6, this has ceased to function, including each sequential update.
My theory is it has something to do with the Guest Account, though this is not likely since we've had it this way before in 10.5 and it worked fine.
Any thoughts?

Ha! No answer to your question. I have the same problem. Computer simply doesn't go int sleep mode as set in the energy saving prefs. Seems to be a real bug! Why does Apple not react?

  • HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

    my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.

  • Automatic approval workflow does not work anymore

    Hi,
    Our automatic approval workflows configured via standard business configuration sets (process controlled) do not work anymore. They did work previously.
    After changing the BUS objects 'automatic approval' workflow into the 1-step manager approval workflow it does work.
    - The 'automatic approval' workflow does not seem to generate a workitem, the bbp_pd 'workflow' part is empty. In addition previously approved documents via 'automatic approval' do not contain workitem details via bbp_pd either anymore.
    - We applied a new SP (SP07) not that long ago.
    - These documents go into status: 'awaiting approval', the documents 'approval' details tell us the following:
    001 Automatic Approval Valid (Can be Started) Open (No Decision Made) SYSTEM system
    However the system does not execute the task, how come? What normally ensures the system executes these 'automatic approval' tasks (report?)?
    Any input is very much appreciated.
    Kind regards,

  • My wake-up/sleep button does not work, but the serial is out from Apple list to repair. What i do now?

    The wake-up/ sleep iPhone 5 botton does not work, but the serial number is out of list to recall from Apple. The problem is so similar the described in the article in the site. I want to repair in the program, like other iPhones, how it is possible?
    Thanks.

    Then there isn't anything you can do about it then. Your only choice is to pay to have the device fixed or replaced. Apple is in charge of that, and as I said in the other thread, this is not Apple you are talking to, we are users like you and cannot do anything about that.

  • Automatic text comparison does not work from child to Master in CUA

    Hi,
    When trying to transfer role specifications to CUA master from our child system the application log is displaying as seen in slg1.png.
    On our master system we are running 7.31 SP7 which is fine according to Note 1642106.
    Our client system is 7.31 sp5 and there for we went to note 1141736 and installed note 1580217 as the other three notes is not compatible with our system.
    we have also implemented the switch "CUA_AUTO_TXTCMP_ROLE" with YES in table USR_CUST on both systems.
    The "error" does not go away and the "synchronization" does not seem to be activated between the systems.

    Hi,
    This is a list of many Routing Modems and routers
    http://portforward.com/routers.htm
    AS you will see the Netgear section is quite long.
    Of those that are Wireless most will be G type devices.
    I am not saying DO the Port Forwarding.
    If you click on your Model and then Dismiss the Advert in the next page > Then Choose iChat in the Next List you will be told the Default Access info
    Most likely this will be 192.168.0.1 and admin and password as the Default Info.
    Once in the Set up pages you need to Check the menu on the left for UPnP and make sure it is Enabled (No Need for Port Forwarding then).
    In the WAN Page you need to Disable DOS (Or SPI) and Allow Response to Internet Pings on the WAN port.
    The 4500 was a typo, sorry about that. Should have read 500kbps
    On Adding Buddies.
    Apple Names (@Mac.com and @me.com) and AIM ones need to be added to an AIM Buddy list.
    By that I mean one that Logs into AIM.
    If you have a @mac.com name then you should have selected the @mac.com option when choosing the Account type.
    See the Drop down item in the middle of this Start Up Screen
    From http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/versions/ichatvers4/howtoStartiChat.html
    Similarly you need to chose the account type the Buddy is as well.
    More info with pics
    So adding the Apple Test accounts requires that you type the same info as the iChat Software adds the @mac.com when you chose to add an @mac.com Buddy
    Sample of middle Drop down in Add Buddy but set to @me.com instead
    If you have a Jabber ID (And GoogleMail names work as GoogleTalk IDs and they are Jabber as well) you can add Jabber Buddies as well.
    There is a way with some Jabber Servers to Add the ability to Text chat to MSN and Yahoo Buddies.

  • My iPhone won't charge and the sleep button does not work, Please Help!

    I woke up this morning and my iphone was dead. I have been using the assisted touch setting because one day for no particular reason my sleep button stopped working, so I can't even try a hard reset now.  The phone never had a bad drop and the only way it could be water damaged is from being in a steamy bathroom. If anyone has a suggestion as to how to get my phone to work again, Please leave a suggestion!!
    Thank you

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • Ios 7.1.2 froze my iphone 5, cant reboot as my sleep button does not work! What do i do?

    was updating my ios and then it went to white screen with the apple and loading bar. it loaded only near half way but then froze!
    and i can not reboot it because my sleep button is broken!
    not sure what to do now?

    I had the same issue.  Basically you need to get the phone to reboot. I suspect waiting for the battery to run out would do this, but I didn't want to wait for it.   iTunes would recognize my phone when I plugged it into my PC, though the phone was still locked up during update (black screen with apple symbol and progress bar at around 1/3).  I didn't want to go through the hassle of a full restore so I found a small Windows program called reiboot  that was able to place my phone into recovery mode.  Then it let me take it out of recovery mode, which caused the phone to reboot (i think other programs like tiny umbrella may do the same thing). After a reboot, it showed the update screen for a minute, then started up running 7.1.2 fine.

  • HT201412 sleep button does not work and iphone 4 is frozen and won't turn on

    sleep button broke a while ago and now my iphone 4 is frozen and i can't get it to reset also it doesn't sink up with the computer
    please help i miss my phone

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Either replace your phone...Apple has an out of warranty replacement program, cost is US $149 for an iPhone 4...or go to a third-party repair shop & get your phone fixed.

  • Sleep Mode in Windows 10 Does not work

    Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 Sleep mode does not work properly when closing the lid or pressing the shutdown button when you set these to sleep.  I have updated the BIOS, Intel Chip Set Drivers, and Video Driver to the latest.  All HP and Windows UPdates installed. Problem is not everthing goes to sleep, typically my ethernet connection, audio and fan stay on.  Must use the Power Button and Hold to recover.  Each time I close the lid and open it I have a black screen.  I can tell when it is not going to sleep by noticing the Ethernet jack is still lit and the fan making noise after closing the lid or pressing the power button. Here's the kicker, make a change to any of the power settings, save and come back into them and reset to sleep and it will work with the lid ONE TIME ONLY.   There after its back to never working, never fully sleeping and having to reboot. Need Help.

    I just discovered that HP has posted a new support page for people who are having issues with the computers after converting to Win 10. I was particularly interested in the section on issues with Sleep/Hibernation and found this whole page: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935 Looks like apart from the driver issue, it could be that the settings in the Device Manager for your KEYBOARD are not set correctly!!! - yeah, that's what I said.  Anyway, the full resource is located here and may be of some help. http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04773236/ PS: I also checked to see if there were new drivers for my notebooks and see that it has now been two days since they were last updated. Perhaps there is hope!

    I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
    The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
    That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
    You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

  • [SOLVED} Suspend to ram does not work (with sleep, s2ram, pm-utils)

    Hi.
    I would like to ask for one thing: i can't suspend to ram or resume from suspend to ram.
    I treid to check over www in order to find some help, some solutions, and how to fix that. Unfortunately, i found these:
    https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … 13-2/page2
    https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=913105
    https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread. … S-13-1-x64
    Bug 91921 - WD 2TB Caviar black causes hard lock on resume S2RAM
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91921
    In fact, when i was researching of this problem i wanted to check if my graphic card and memory are failing so a did few changes (removed memory stick and so one) but in doing this i removed almost all of my hard disk drives because i didn't want to hurt them with many reboots or resets.
    What did i find? It is strange, kernel version is not important because i checked most of them.
    I removed 2x2TB Seagate F14 series along with 4x3TB WD Green. Then i checked s2ram, it went to suspend, and resumes correctly. Everything works. I put it to sleep with s2ram -f -a 1. Works
    I attached my 4x3TB WD Green drives. I put computer to sleep with s2ram...it causes hard lock, black screen, i could do only poweroff by powerbutton. s2ram -f -a 1 causes freez. Sometimes, but not constantly, s2ram -f -a 3 -p is being able to suspend...(mostly it does a freez, hard lock computer) but sometimes it is able to put it to a sleep, but resume just freezes everyting - no blinking cursor, no blinking num lock led and so on.
    I know that you would suggest me to check logs - this is the main problem. Logs for pm-suspend works when i suspend or resume without WD drives attached. When i have them connected, i'm not able to check pm-logs because computer hangs, freezes and logs are not being stored/writed to pm-suspend.log and pm-powersave.log.
    Could somebody help? Point me to a solution? I can't check logs because there are not any when freezing occurs. I checked openSuse thread and many others and for other systems there were some kernel fixex, patches.
    They wrote that WD blacks are at fault because they don't have APM. Well, in fact my WD Green have APM with very aggresive factory settings: they park heads over 8 seconds not being used. I disabled it in firmware but disabling it is not the point and not the problem. People have the same problem even with APM and parking heads on other WD drives, i found it that some have it with WD Red's drives and even with very old 320GB WD Blue series - what is more funny, i have 640GB AAKS blue from WD and with this drive i can suspend or resume - APM on this drive is also unavilable, like in Green series because i changed it with wdidle with prebootable cd. I can't  supend or resume with 3TB WD Greens.
    BTW - suspend to disk, with pm-utils and uswsusp works ok, in 100% every time. (i had to add "shutdown method = shutdown" to /etc/suspend.conf from uswsusp package).
    On Windows machine it works. Can suspend, can resume, can hibernate.

    Hm, sometimes i found myself astonished because some things just does not work at all on one machine, while the other one has no problem at all. I was trying to find why suspend to ram won't work at all...and while i was searching i found one topic that was leading to upower dbus. Similar problem with upower i found, by coincidence, on Manjaro forum.
    dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
    this command above returns all the time:
    Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "Suspend" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.UPower" doesn't exist
    I tried this:
    sudo systemctl enable acpid.service
    sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
    As soon as i enabled and started acpid.service...my supend to ram, from kde, works like a charm, without graphic problem, or freezing.
    There is few question: why on my desktop suspend doesen't work out of the box, when even archwiki says it should? Why on my netbook machine (Acer AOD270) that has the same package installed it works out of the box? Why on my desktop machine acpid.service was not enabled, was not started and was not running while on the notebook it does?
    Anyway...i fixed it by a big coincidence because on Fedora forum somebody has problem with suspend to ram with nvidia GTX750 and this card was new like my card (GTX660). He posted the same problem with upower that i posted in quotes and because of this i found another thing on Manjaro forum and that was it!
    BTW - this problem, i now think, is not related to my WD drives because it works with them. I think that there was another one ugly thing that broke my suspend to ram ability - bios of my motherboard (so called uefi bios with support for old one) has no option for S1-S5 stated (like the previous motherboards had) and only have ASPM...and ASPM is in my opinion broken but i will try to veryfi it one again later.

  • HP SimplePass Reader Does not Work after Sleep

    I have only had my laptop for a week - the fingerprint reader stopped working 2 days after I bought it. I have tried everything: removing and re-installing various drivers and software, stopping and starting Credentials Manager, unchecking the box that allows the computer to turn the reader off to save power, etc.
    I have gotten it to the point where it functions when the computer is logged in, but not after sleep. It works once if you restart the computer, but after waking it from sleep it does not initialize. (no light or anything) However, if you "lock" the desktop from the start menu, the reader will log it in again. (without closing the lid or putting it to sleep)
    Simple Pass version 6.0 (latest downloaded from HP.com)
    Envy Dv6 7229wm
    Windows 8 64-bit
    Thanks

    Hello hawvi,
    I see that you are having problems with the fingerprint reader not working after returning from sleep mode. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
    Can you provide the full model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
    What operating system are you using?
    How long have you had the problem?
