Does power nap work while logged out?

Will power nap work while logged out and asleep, or do you have to remain logged in?

@Kappy, in my experience Apple does not post support documents that mention unreleased products. The doc is dated in September. No 27" iMacs shipped until December.
@Shootist007, the two power nap use cases I can foresee wanting on a desktop would be photostream updates and time machine backups. When I am on vacation I load a lot of pictures from my camera to my iPad. I'd love to see those photos updated in my iPhoto library before I even get home. And, who wouldn't want their backups to happen while they are not using the computer? As for the doc not mentioning the iMacs see the comment above.
I was hoping that one of the lucky people to have actually taken delivery of a late 2012 iMacs would comment. Thanks.

Does power nap work on the new iMac?

i know it used to only work on new mac book pros. but what about the new iMac that comes with Fusion Drive?

Does Power Nap Work on the iMac?

Just Want to Know if PN Works on iMac

Good point, though wake on lan would still be less of a power saver.
My iMac has an SSD... but perhaps the need for such a drive would be lessoned for an iMac that won't be bouncing around as much.
I can see if the CPU isn't ready for it as a good reason. Otherwise its a nice feature, why not make it available to other systems.... there is no wake on lan on my home iMac, and I'd sure like to see some of this activity happen while I'm away from my desk.
I could see the VPN on demand being nice on an iMac as well. Kind of "direct access" like? (Windows feature)

It is enabled in system preferences but with time machine and sleeping overnight it did not seem to do hourly back up as stated or any other functions of power nap that I know of. it has been enabeled on both battery and plug in dc and I did leave it on plug in overnight.

Backing Up While Logged Out

I am looking to do nightly backups of my server (10.4.7) to 5 different partitions. I am using SuperDuper to do this but I have found that I need to be logged in for the scheduler to run. Is there a script of some sort I can use to log my XServe in at a certain time and then logout when the backup is complete? Or is there software out there that will allow me to do a nightly backup to different partitions while logged out? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

you can use rsync, though many will complain that it does a poor job of backing up metadata. in my experience, i've never had a problem with it. either use the installed version at /usr/bin/rsync or download a patched version. links to the patched version can be found in threads here.
also, BRU will work for you. in limited testing, it's been more reliable than Retrospect and provides more useful options than i've found with Retrospect.

Does voice dictation work while on calls?

Hi,
Does voice dictation work while on calls? I notice that the microphone which is in the keyboard is disabled while on call.
Thank you

Whatsapp is for the iPhone only and won't work on any model of iPad. Viber says that the iPad is "partially supported" but I can't find what that means. If it works, though, it should work via WiFi, though I haven't used Viber so I can't say of my own experience, only what Viber says on their web site.
Regards.

Why does power nap time machine backup not work on my August 2012 macbook pro retina?

Hello. I got a MacBook Pro with retina display in August of this year 2012. I have done the SMC ? firmware update and I have 10.8.2 installed on my machine. Power nap still doesn't seem to work. I have the button in energy saver preferences and I have clicked it so it looks like power nap should work. When I am running Time Machine backup with the time capsule and I close the lid (plugged into power) it appears that no progress is made when I reopen the lid. I have closed the lid with activity monitor running and with network displayed. When I reopen the lid it may take up to one minutes to come out of sleep. When it does come out of sleep I can see that there has been no network traffic. Eventually, time machine backup resumes and I can see several megabytes per second. When I closed the lid overnight, just to make sure backup didn't restart after lid closing, I saw that no progress had been made in backup when I reopened the lid.
What options are left if I already have 10.8.2 and I have done the required firmware? One person has mentioned a clean install but I really don't like to have to reenter all the different passwords and all the different preferences again unless that's absolutely necessary. Are there any other options left to try before a clean install?
One other bit of information. I have filevault turned on; however, it looks like others have a working power nap even with file vault enabled. If this is not an option, the power nap button should be grayed out when the machine is in filevault.
Thank you for any help.

Yeah I still have the same problem BTW; it still does not work.
The second I open the lid and take it out of sleep mode, it starts to backup automagically, but when it's sleeping EVEN when it's connected to AC power, TM backups do NOT work to my OS X Server.
I don't understand what the problem is here.
I didn't before but I do have FileVault turned on now -- should that make a difference?
In either situation it didn't work, but now that I think about it, I could understand why it wouldn't backup while asleep. Apparently the encrypted volume will stay encrypted during sleep and even at the lock screen; it's not until you open the lid and log in from the lock screen that it will unlock the encrypted boot volume.
But even still, I did *not* have FV turned on before, and this still did not work.
Is there some third party solution that can do what I want this to do?
Here's my use case:
1.) I have a mac mini at home that I use when I'm at home; it runs OS X server.app (bought and paid for) and has TM server turned on.
2.) I have a laptop that I mainly use at work and I don't use at all when I come home (ie. when I'm ready to head home for the day I close the lid and don't open it until I'm back at work the next day, but the laptop does come home with me every day).
What I want to have happen is this:
1.) The minute my laptop enters my home wifi lan (even though it's still asleep with lid closed) I want it to automatically backup the boot drive.
I thought that's what Power Nap was supposed to do, but then I found out that in order for this to work, you have to be connected to AC power; so then I tried that -- ie. every day I come home, I put my laptop in a docking station that has AC power, but TM backups while lid closed / sleeping STILL do not occur!
Thanks for your help everyone...Looking forward to a solution that works.
EDIT:
I found this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4158709
"It looks like Power Nap doesn't perform Time Capsule backups when the MacBook Air screen is closed."
So apparently that is yet *another* requirement to get powernap working. The lid can not be closed.
What is the difference between sleep with lid open and sleep with lid closed!?

Does Time Machine still work when logged out?

Potentially dumb question here... but will Time Machine continue backing up if I log out? I don't want my administrator user account always logged in, but I want to make sure our central files are constantly being backed up.

Hi,
I logged out of my server before going home last night. When I came in today, there are Time Machine updates throughout the night.
To check this yourself, just logout and then the next time you login, open your Time Machine volume and see if there are any updates. I think you'll find that there are.
Hope this helps!

KDE desktop does not come up after log out

I have updated KDE to the lastest version using the Arch packages. It worked wonderfully the first time, all of my widgits were intact and my desktop was just as I had left it, custom background and everything. Then, however, I logged out to make sure Fluxbox worked. Now, even after rebooting, the KDE desktop doesn't come up. It will bring up Pidgin which was running before but the taskbar and all of the widgets are gone and it has this grey background that is the same as the one in the KDM.
No errors are produced, although it does now ask for the password for a Wallet that "Plasma Desktop" wants to access. I recognise the name of the wallet (kdewallet) and input the password correctly after this, two notifications pop up with informational thing. One is about some indexing service being "rebuilt" for new features and the other is saying that it's falling back on a different sound output. None of this seems to have an impact on the limited usability I have.
Has anyone else expereinced this? Are there any log files where errors would be outputted to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have found the relevent messages. They are at a pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/1522805
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.
After the top line of that post, there are a LOT of errors related to "No block with decorrelation terms" in fact the vast majority of that file are those things. All other "errors" are warnings related to my Fluxbox session which is working fine.
Lines 1, 11 and 12 seem to be the most severe errors:
[0xa2412b0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"
I have no idea where to even begin fixing them. However it is Nepomuk that comes up with the rebuilding message i mentioned in my previous post.

hi Barry,
what parameters in Secure Store do i need to check.
and one more thing i wanted to tell u....
i guess the problem started because of some changes that i did unknowingly in the settings of default login module stacks...
actually i was trying to explore visual admin tool's usage..and in that process i unknowingly changed the values of the default login module stacks provided by EP..
after that only the problem arose..
can u tell me how to restore the default settings for the login module stacks (j2ee engine,basic,client_cert,form,
digest,ticket,evaluation_assertion_ticket) so that the application starts working properly again
thanks in advance

GDM does not appear back after logging out from Gnome.

Hello,
I am tryingout Archlinux for the first time. I am able to goto run level 5 and after booting I get the GDM login screen. I can log in to Gnome. But when I log out from Gnome, GDM does not appear, but I get a black screen. Then, the only way to come out is to press the reset button.
What may be the problem?
Thanks for your help.

it may depend on how ur running gdm, (possibly with -*no-daemon option) .. in which case it'd prolly werk if u removed it...
although i'd recommend using rc.conf instead as it's a lot cleaner...
to use /etc/rc.conf
add gdm to the DAEMONS;
mine = "DAEMONS=(gdm @syslog-ng @network @alsa @httpd)"
that starts gdm(in daemon mode), then starts syslog-ng,net*,alsa and apache in the background .. save me about 6 seconds when i background em.
then you need to change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3 (not 5)

Firefox does not quit automatically after logging out of my computer

Hey, everyone.
Just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem as me.
I am working on a G5, running Mac OS X (10.4.8) using the newest verson of Firefox 1.5.07.
Intermittently, I cannot log out of my computer without first closing Firefox.
Shouldn't the computer automatically quit out all programs and complete the log out without giving me an error message saying Firefox is still running?
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate the input.
Thanks,
boneyo

Do you have multiple tabs open at the time, with the option to "confirm multiple tab close on exit"?
Because that would halt something trying to quit Firefox - Firefox itself won't quit without that input, and logging out won't Force Quit.
If this sounds like the problem, try not confirming multiple tab closure on exit, and then logging out and see?

Turning on bluetooth with out keyboard/while logged out

So, a few days ago, I spilt hot chocolate on my keyboard. Now, I'm sure that it won't come back. I have another computer with a bluetooth keyboard at my disposal, but the thing is, my keyboard-less computer is logged out, and I have no way of getting into the regular system preferences.
Is it possible to pair a bluetooth keyboard with a iMac without logging in, or do I have to go out and get another keyboard?

You may need another keyboard.
If you rinse out the one with the spill using tap water and then let it dry out for a week or so you may find that it still works.

Pair a keyboard while logged out

My wireless keyboard died. I bought a new one. I am logged out of my mac and cannot type in the password. All instructions for pairing a keyboard assumed you are already logged in.
How can I pair my keyboard from a logged out status?
Thanks!

If the keyboard is already paired with another device, remove that pairing. The keyboard should pair automatically when you reboot. You may have to press and hold the power button on the right side of an Apple keyboard until the LED starts flashing.
