Does iCal wake up the computer?

I know this must be obvious to people, but I can't find it anywhere in Help. If I set an alarm for a sound, and put the iBook in sleep mode, will the alarm/iCal wake up the computer and sound the alarm?

I found a free program called Alarm Clock that will wake up the iBook and play music from the iTunes library. So, problem solved!

    Do you mean that after rebooting the computer , the option ‘Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’ is enabled?

  • Is the trackpad supposed to also wake up the computer from sleep?

    Hello,
    I am not sure if I am able to before, but right now making a swipe or even a click on my trackpad doesn't wake up the computer from sleep - although typing on the keyboard does. Is this really the case? Or can the trackpad also wake the computer? I've already tried resetting the PRAM but it would still not do the trick. It doesn't bother me much though.
    Thanks!

    Swiping the trackpad should also wake the computer. Touching a keyboard key that is benign is usually preferred. i.e. shift key.

  • Why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??

    why does iCal automatically change the date of the entry i am making to the day before??
    for example, when i am attempting to make a 'all-day' appointment on october 2nd 2011, it automatically shifts it to october 1st.
    but if i am doing a timed appointment for only a few hours, it will allow me to put it on that day.
    i am trying to put in travel dates so any help on how to fix this, would be greatly appreciated.

    alsdman,
    Quit iCal, and try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Since that Library is now hidden, you have to use the Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.
    Also go to System Preferences...>Language & Text>Formats>Region: and set/re-set the appropriate "Region."

  • DVD drive does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen

    I have lost access to the DVD drive. It does not appear on the "Computer" drive screen.
    It will start up with a disk inserted but shuts down after a approx 20 seconds without having opened any files.
    The DVD light comes on when it first starts up and then goes off within a few seconds.
    I have re-installed the Toshiba driver and still no access.
    I believe it started when I installed a new WD 1Tb external drive which setup its virtual CD drive on the E: drive which was used by the DVD drive. I have moved the external drive to G: and left the E: drive letter vacant but still not working.
    Any ideas how I can solve this? It would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this will help you but check it anyway

  • Can I auto start ical upon starting the computer?

    I would like to have iCal auto start upon turning on the computer.  Can this application auto start?

    Opening items automatically when you log in
    You can have applications, documents, or server connections open whenever you log in to your computer.
    To make items open automatically when you log in:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accounts, and then click Login Items.
    Open the Login Items pane of Accounts preferences 
    Click the Add button, below the list of accounts.
    Select an application, document, or server volume and click Add.
    Select the Hide checkbox by an item you don’t want to be opened.
    To temporarily prevent login items from opening when you log in, hold down the Shift key while clicking the Log In button in the login window. Continue to hold down the Shift key until you see the Dock.
    To permanently stop an item from opening automatically, select it in the Login Items list and click the Delete button.

  • What does it mean when the computer says "i am hanging here"

    I was cleaning off my hard drive to give the computer to charity, and I must have thrown too much away.  Now the computer, when booting, displays a bunch of jibberish writing on the display, ending with the phrase "I am hanging here."  I already backed up the data, so I could clean the hard drive and start from scratch, but I don't know how to begin the boot-up process so that I can put the operating system and "software restore" discs in.  Any suggestions?
    Dick

    It means you've made it impossible for the machine to boot properly. You will need to erase the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Erase and Install OS X
    1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X.

  • How wake up the computer from sleep

    I have an HPE Pavilion h8-1100z, 64 bit, running Win 7. When the computers goes to sleep, I have problems waking it up. I have tried pressing various keys but nothing happens. Microsoft says to check the computer manual but I don't see anything in the manual which tells me what to do. I end up turning the computer off.

    Guinniegirl, welcome to the forum.
    I suggest changing the power settings: Start / Control Panel / Power Options.  In the left column there are different categories for making the computer Sleep.  Check the settings to assure they are to your liking.  You can change any of the settings to "Never" if you choose to do so.

    You will have to restore the phone and set up as New. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. The part you need is near the bottom, "If you have never synced your device with iTunes...". You will lose any content that is not backed up in iCloud.

  • My iMac goes to sleep and does not wake up, the fans also make a loud noise

    My iMac has just had its hardisk replaced, few months ago. Now whenever I go into any website, do downloads and when it goes into screensaver it makes a **** of a noise then when I leave it it does not go into sleep but shuts down. If I try and restart straight away it won't switch on I have to wait a while. I think it gets very hot and might be shutting down. I have cleaned the fans and reset the SMU and PRAM. Any other suggestions or do I need to replace the fans???????????????????

    You certainly have a heat problem, since the machine needs to cool down before you can turn it back on. Have you opened the case (as long as it's not an iSight) and vacuumed the fans and air vents? If that doesn't help, you will probably need to take it in to be looked at. Have you checked t see if you qualify for one of Apple's Repair extension programs?

  • How long does migration of data/files from iMac to Mac usually take? And does it matter if the computer goes to sleep mode? Will it still transfer data?

    ???

    There is no stock answer.....the time to transfer depends on computer speed, amount of data...and so on.
    I set my computer to never sleep when I am migrating data.
