Computer turns off while in in sleep mode.

Hello,
I've noticed lately that when I put my computer to sleep at night, that it's turned off when I get up. Any ideas on what could cause this or how I could fix it? Thanks.

The computer remains plugged in always. I checked the system.log, from what I can gather it thinks it's going to sleep, then is aware it shut down improperly after the restart.
I've tried unplugging all USB/firewire and sleeping from the login screen just after startup... Still turns off. I tried a different power outlet. My next step is replacing the little battery that runs the clock while it's shutdown... but that's been dead for years.

Why does my Mac Pro turn completely off while in the sleep mode?

Why does my Mac Pro turn off completley overnight when I had placed it in the sleep mode?

A power fluctuation may also shut your computer off from sleep mode.
Is there anything in the System Log overnight?

Is there any way to log off automatically from a WIFI connection every time the device is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

I have a bunch of Apple devices in my house (kids) and don't like the idea of all these devices (iPads, iPod touches, iPhones) always being connected to my home WIFI. Ideally, I would prefer the devices connect automatically when they are in use by a human and log off the network when they (the devices) go to sleep mode or are turned off.

This is not an answer, more of a question. I know that when a pad goes to sleep, it drops the connection. We all remember the thousands of posts from folks who had trouble re establishing the connection after waking up in the early days. What is different now is the use of push, and notifications. If you have these enabled, doesn't that mean that the wifi needs to stay active?
I notice that I have notifications on the screen that came in while asleep, and I can only believe that the wifi saw them. This is different from the old behavior or re grabbing the wifi.
So, to Pam, on one the devices you are concerned about, turn off notifications, fetch and push, put it to sleep, and see if it drops off the network. I am kind of curious.
By the way, having the wifi active has not shown me any battery usage. The router certainly does not care. Security is at the router end, so if somebody wants to hijack my signal, it does not matter if the pad is active or not. So I guess I am not clear either on what your issue might be.

Why does my 1st Gen randomly attempt to turn off or go into sleep mode?

I have a first generation Ipod touch with IOS 3.1.3. I have never had a problem like this before. It keeps attempting to turn itself off or puts itself into sleep mode. I know it is not the battery that is the problem because it always has plenty of battery when it does this. Also, I doubt it has anything to do with an app or something since I've reset it several times. Once in a while it will work without a flaw, but recently it acts like the sleep button is being held down or pressed. Sometimes the button doesn't even respond when I press it, but still tries to turn off. If the Ipod is turned off, it will try turning on, then shut down in the middle of it then try to turn on again. I have tried reseting it and restoring it but nothing seems to work. I don't have the time or money to get it fixed, so if there is anything I could do that would fix it, that would be great.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

IPod Touch turns off when shaken during sleep mode & other problems

I noticed a problem with my iPod Touch around a month after I bought and I thought it was normal for the iPod Touch to act that way but it seemed rather getting into my nerves. I will try to describe the situation the best way I possibly could so please bear with me.
First, I have a problem with my iPod when it's at sleep mode. When I press the home button too look at the time/date for example and then I shake it or move it before it blacks out and goes back to sleep mode again, it hangs up and I have to press the power & home button to turn it off. It happened all the time and it gets really annoying because when friends borrow it, it dies.
The same thing happens when I play a song and then I don't put it to sleep mode. When I shake it, it hangs up.
Second, when I use my iPod at night before sleeping to listen to music and the like, the moment I wake up, the battery is totally drained. I am DEFINITELY sure that no song was playing at that time and it was even fully charged. Last night I decided to monitor my iPod on a regular basis to see at what point in time the battery starts to diminish. I fell asleep but when I woke up at around 10 to check my iPod, the screen is black and yet it's on because the screen is glowing. I restarted it and when it went on again, the applications are all disarranged.
Third, there are duplicate songs in my iPod although when I check in my iTunes to delete the songs, it only appears as a single song but it is in duplicate in my iPod.
What do I do? Thanks!

Computer turned off while restoring ipod touch 4th gen

My ipod screen recently had it's screen changed, causing the ipod to white screen. I tried to do the simple reboot of holding down the home button and lock button at the same time, and also doing the same including the volume button, but unfortunately it failed, so I had to restore it. But while in the process of it being restored my laptop decided it would be funny to freeze, then blue screen, then restart itself, and now my ipod won't turn on or anything. I've plugged in into my laptop and the computer makes that noise when something has been connected, but it doesn't detect it.
I do not know what to do, can someone please help me?

Try placing 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.

Computer turned off while iPod Touchcharged for the first time.

Hey. I got an iPod Touch and turned it on and used it for a bit before charging it fully. When I was charging it, I was syncing music and listening to it off the iPod speakers. Bfore it was fully charged the comuter shutoff (ranout of battery). I read you should charge iPods fully right before doing anything. Manual didnt say anything about this though. I'm going to continue charging now. Is it okay?
Thanks.

I doubt it. Just use the iPod

Whenever my iPod is turned off or goes into sleep mode, it hard boots everytime I turn it back on. This seems to have started only when I upgraded to OS6.

My computer turned off while working on a document and it wasn;t saved!! It closed it?

help!!

Which operating system were you running ?
Lion is fair enough to AutoSave, even when a sister plays the fool but to activate the AutoSave feature, you must save at least once.
Typing 2000 words without saving at least once is playing with matches.
Now, at least, you know that doing that may burn fingers

While syncing last time the computer turned off during the process and now when I try to get ont oitunes the phone is read only as a camera device and I cant sync my phone. I have tried re installing itunes and have turned every thing off and on. Help!!

While syncing my Iphone the computer turned off and now Itunes doesnt read the connection. A message appears that I have plugged in my camera on my pc.I have gone through turning every thing off and on and re installing Itunes but still no luck. Any suggestions?

If iTunes cannot see your iPhone.
First, try soft-resetting your iPhone. Press and hold sleep/wake and home button, ignore the slide bar - keep pressing.
When you see the Apple logon, let go. When the phone has restarted, plug into PC. Will iTunes see iPhone now?
If not, you'll have to do a DFU restore - please note that this will wipe everything on your iPhone. If you have a recent backup (iTunes does this by default), then you're in luck and you can restore everything back.
If not, then...hmm well... Oh bum. Maybe you have an iCloud backup? I haven't tried this so I can't comment.

TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Hi
No audio on DVD disc.
Most common origin.
1. Imported audio from iTunes.
• In iTunes copy out as an audio-CD .aiff
• Use this in Your movie project
2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
(iM’08 & 09)
3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provocing it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
176x144
480x360
640x480
720x540 960x540
4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
• Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
6. Ed Hanna
Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies—except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format—that I have noticed.
7. GarageBand fix.
In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
(if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
Before burning the DVD.
• Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
• Double click on the .img file
• Test it with Apple DVD-player
If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
• In iDVD 08 - or - 09
• Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
• OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

Sorry, but if you see the "connect to iTunes" screen on your phone, the only option is to restore, backing up the phone is not possible at this point, even importing the photos might not work anymore.
