Computer hibernates automatically after sleeping for X amount of time.

I recently bought a VPS and have been sleeping my old personal server when it's not in use. However, I find that after putting it to sleep, it'll actually go into hibernate after some amount of time. I would prefer this *not* to happen so that I could easily wake the machine with WOL. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction as to what might be causing this.
I have the acpid and cpufreq daemons which might affect this. Both of these are setup with the default configurations. I have laptop mode installed but *not* in the daemons array/running.
In order to put the machine to sleep, I am simply using "pm-suspend". Does the default pm-suspend script cause the machine to hibernate after a specified time? Or, perhaps a script that comes with laptop-mode that is being run on suspend?
Appreciate the help in tracking this down!

You can do it with a time schedule in System Preferences > Energy Saver > Schedule.. button.
Regards

Fixed- T400s fail to hibernate automatically after sleep / timeout.

Was really bugged by the failure of my T400s to automatically hibernate (according to the power plan timeout settings). Sleep timeout worked perfectly, and manually initiated hibernate also worked fine. But the machine would stay in sleep mode and when the timeout elapsed for hibernation, it never wrote the hibernation file and remained in sleep mode.
After search Google, found a Microsoft description of things which would prevent automatic hibernation. High on the list was the setting of 'wakeup timer enable', along with the registry entries which configure it. I verified that these were set properly on my machine. Then I checked the BIOS for the hardware wakeup timer enable, and found it set to 'off'. I ignored the warning screen (about potential for unexpected hard disk activity/damage if machine was being transported-- I have an SSD). Changing it to 'on' solved my problem.

Writing a file for prescribed amount of time in a while loop after the triggering condition is met

Hello Guys,
I am trying to program an application in which if the trigger condition is met it should start to write the file.
I was able to do that, but if I want it to be written for certain amount of time, and once the trigger condition is met, it should continue to write the files for prescribed amount of time. I was not able to do this. The file name should also be updated accordingly.
I tried to with some options by keeping the creation of the file outside of the loop, if I do that then if the trigger condition is not met it will stop writing and I dont want that, as once the trigger condition is met it should be true thereafter.
So I cant keep any thing outside the while loop, bcaz then it checks the condition of the shift register for the trigger and I have it as a false constant.
I am attaching my application which is kind of mess and I have written in the application where I am having problems. For every iteration of while loop it makes a new file, and i dont want that, I want to write specific amount of time data to the each file.
Please take a look at my code and help me in solving the problem. Any insights and examples on how to do this thing will be a relief to me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Nitin

what i am saying is to keep track of how much data you have written and whenever you need to make a new file you make 1.
here is a vi that i just made that should show you. let me know if you need any help understanding it.

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time?

Is there a way to create a custom screensaver with pics/slides that display for different amounts of time? Or even add a "video slide" into the screensaver?
My business has 3 TVs displayed in our lobby, each with its own apple TV and they are all linked to the same photo stream. Currently the Atv screensaver displays the photostream pictures of our products for the default 3 seconds. We just added pics/slides that now display messages and useful info for our customers but I want that info to be displayed for a longer period of time than the pictures to give people a chance to read it.
I tried using flickr and powerpoint as a work around but no luck. I created a slide in powerpoint with play length of 15 secs and saved it as a wmv file. I added that file to a "screensaver" set in flickr and pointed the Atv screensaver to that flickr set. It still displays everything, pics and the wmv file at the default 3 sec.
I know I can increase the duration of all pics in the screensaver to display for longer but the goal is to have the pics display at 3 secs and the info slides to display at 15 secs.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No that's not possible.
If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here

Playing jpeg pictures for different amount of time

hello everyone.
i'm new to jmf and i have been reading a bit about it. so i tried the sample code at: http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/JpegImagesToMovie.java (THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL)
this program displays each image for 1 second each.
now my problem is, i want to display these pictures for different amount of time... for example: display pic1 for 1 second, then display pic2 for 3 sec and so on.
can anyone help me please. THANKS

>
i'm new to jmf ..>The [JMF forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=28] is the best place to ask JMF related questions, but I am guessing you are also new to Java, and to programming, so this forum might be best for the moment.

java JpegImagesToMovie -w 400 -h 300 -f 1
-o the.mov pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg..you might instead try..
java JpegImagesToMovie -w 400 -h 300 -f 1
-o the.mov pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic2.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg
Lines broken for clarity. Instead have command all in one line.
This simply repeats the second frame, three times. The .MOV format might 'optimize away' the second and third frame from the final file, but I would not count on it.
Of course, a far better way to animate images (with transition effects, full control over time, and all the bells and whistles) is to load the images into memory and create the slide show using the Java 2D abilities, mostly found in the Graphics class.

Wait for undefined amount of time

Hello All,
I have a requirement, where in I would want my activity in the workflow to wait for an indefinite amount of time. Then when a certain activity occurs, I would like to complete the 'waiting' activity.
So lets say I have the following process with 2 activities(A and B)
----------> A ----------> B(wait for undefined amount of time)------------->End
B needs to wait for some time, which I do not know.
Then when another event( PL/SQL activity) occurs, I need the event to trigger of the waiting activity B, to completion.
How can I acheive this?
Thanks in advance.
PHK

Luiz,
Lets say I have the following:
-------->A---------->B(needs to wait)-----No------>D----> END
\ Yes
C-------------->END
B is the activity which needs to wait. It has a PL/SQL function assciated with it.Lets say I have a result type of YES/NO associated with activity B. As soon as the workflow engine encounters activity B, it will execute the function associated with it. Lets the function ends with a result_out => YES, then immediatly C will be executed.
So setting a result type will not help. I need to wait at step 'B'

Wifi does not connect automatically after sleep

Since installing Yosemite on my Mid 2011 iMac - when my computer wakes from sleep mode, it does not automatically connect to the wifi. I have to select the network to join from the top menu bar. Is there anyway to make it connect automatically like it use to? Thanks for any and all help!

Hello ffmed124,
The steps detailed below can help get your iMac to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically after waking from sleep.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

After sleeping for ~30m MBPr closes all programs and logs out

MBPr 15" Oct 2013 version, OS X 10.9.4
I have the bottom left hot corner set up to sleep my mac. Every time I do this and leave it for around 30m, it closes all my open programs and logs me out, and I can't figure out why.
In Energy Saver I've enabled "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off", and disabled "Put hard disks to sleep when possible".
Are there any other settings somewhere that affect this?

Hello Byron Gibson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please check your Security & Privacy Advanced settings to see if you have the option to log out after a certain time of inactivity.

When I use my computer for any amount of time all of a sudden the fan starts up full blast and everything freezes

Nothing works after this happens its happened 3 times now, the first I just forced shut down and re started, the second I force shut down and left it off for the night, the third time I let it run like that for a bit to see if it would control itself but after a small amount of time I forced shut it down again.

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

Display wakes after sleep for no apparent reason

Had the imac for 6 months first time I have had this issue.
I put the imac to sleep and within 30 secs it wakes with my password login dialogue box (the dialogue box is normal, I have the display password protected), it then goes blank as if going back to sleep, then does the same thing again repeatedly. If I don't login then eventually the screen goes blank, the sleep light goes off all together, then the machine will not wake and I have to switch it off and back on again to get it working.
I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, sometimes if these are knocked then the machine will wake from sleep, however, I have made sure this is not happening and so this does not explain the problem.
Any help gratefully received, I am baffled!!

Go to System Preferences and select Energy Saver. Uncheck "Wake for network access" option. See if that if that solves your issue.

Start it in DFU mode, connect it to your compter and restore it using iTunes

ITunes movies - 'freeze' for same amount of time I can play??..

I have a frequent problem with iTunes movies - when I download one from the Store it stops all the time. I can usually restart it by pressing pause and then play, although sometimes I have to go out of the movie altogether then restart and fast forward to where i was. It is incredibly irritating as you can imagine. Any ideas? The amount of time I get to watch the movie seems to relate to the amount of time I have before it of waiting. Eg if it stops and I restart instantly I only get a minute or so of movie, whereas if I stop the movie and only restart it after five minutes then I seem to get at least five minutes before it stops again.
So grateful for any help..

Perform each task for certain amount of time

Hey,
The program I'm trying to create is a very linear one and involves performing three different processes after one another, each for a set amount of time.
I originally tried using case statements and timers to do this, but everything got very messy very quickly. I then looked at sequence structures however have read some bad things about them.
Could anyone point me in the best direction to achive this?
Thanks,
Sam.

Sam_R, Yamaeda is right. Sometimes things are so simple that you do not need a state machine. But sometimes you end up adding features to your simple little program and it ends up growing out of control. Trust me
There are a million examples of state machines out there. This makes a million and one. It does not address the part of your question about performing an action for a certain amount of time. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible while also demonstrating programmatically determining the next state and error handling.
I don't mean to sound condescending with this basic example. But I know there was a time when it seemed like advanced stuff to me. Hopefully someone will find this useful.

Do I need a computer to use my ipad for the very first time?

I would like to know if I buy an iPad, shall I need to have a computer to start it for the very first time?
I mean do I need to do plug in or can I start without plug in?

The new iPad does not need to be activated using iTunes. You will need a WiFi connection to activate it, but not a computer.
If you are buying an iPad2, if it does not already have iOS 5 on it, then you would need a computer running the latest version of iTunes,
