Ejecting a 2nd EHD from iMac when not in use

I have a 2TB WD EHD drive hooked up using Time Machine. I have a 2nd 1 TB WD EHD with a large vacation project. On the iMac the WD drives do not completely shut done when the iMac sleeps or is shut down. Since I am not currently working on the vacation project - I ejected the EHD. I guess I will find out when I reconnect it, but is there any problem doing this. I had excluded some files on the vacation EHD and they don't show now in options. I guess it would be wise to check when reconnecting if the exclusion shows up again. I just can't see the vacation drive remaining on when I'm not using it.

No, there's no problem. In fact it's a good idea. Firewire retains power on the bus even when the computer is shut down, so ejecting the drives and disconnecting will save energy.

IMac (Oct 2009) keeps shutting down and restarting when not being used.

At least once a day, usually when not being used, I will see a dialog box that say computer had to restart due to a problem. data in problem report does not clearly state problem - many multi-page entries
Have reinstalled OS 10.8.2 once
this morning tried to restart with safe boot and had spinning beach ball for more than 15 minutes. shut down and restarted nin recovery mode. verified and repaired permissions (all seem to be related to Canon Pronter plug-ins- had an error message yesteday asking if I wanted to repair printer software and I said yes). Printer seems to be working. Had one statement that indicated a screensaver issue-see below
a while back, iTunes album art screensaver hung up with just two album covers flipping in all rows and columns.
after a few restarts, it started working correctly again..- yesterday I set screen saver to never, but still had a crash this morning

Here's the latest panic report. BTW, I ran for a while from an external system boot - very sloww (thumbdrive), but nothing happened. However, when I retarted I tried to restart in Safe Mode and the launch never completed (30 minutes without start)

Imac shuts down when not in use

I purchased my 21.5" imac July 9, 2011 with Snow Leopard. No problems for 1 month. Then about August 12th or so, my imac started to mysteriously "shut down" when not in use. I'll be working on it, then get up to go pour myself a cup of coffee or something...then I come back to my computer that has now shut off. It is NOT asleep...it is OFF. So I turn it back on and it is fine. This has happened a few times now within a week. Anyone else have this problem?
By the way, I am now running Lyon, as of August 18th. When the imac shut down, I was usually viewing photos or on the web.
thanks!

First thing I would try is to reset the SMC, it can help with power related problems. Shut down the Mac and unplug everything including the power. Press and hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Plug in the computer but be careful not to press the power button as you are plugging it in. Wait a few seconds and turn it on. Hopefully it won't happen again. There is always Apple Support. Don't let the problem persist until your free phone tech support has expired (3 months). I would also recommend using the iMac with an UPS, and at the very least, a high quality surge protector.
If you have MS Word or a similar word processor you could try enabling the autosave feature and set it to 1 minute intervals. Keep a document open and if you come back to the computer and it has shut down, you can look at the last time the document was updated and know what time the comptuer turned itself off. It could be useful in diagnosing the problem.

AirPrint works from iMac but not iPhone

Latest iMac OS
Latest iOS
iMac setup easily and prints fine - wirelessly
iPhone cannot find printer. e.g. Safari, Select Printer - "No AirPrint Printers Found"
AirPort Utilty has no Printer section.
Any ideas?

I have already done all that.
It airprints from iMac and not from iOS. What does that tell us?

My iMac will not sleep when not in use.

The screen will go dark, but the disk will not sleep when not being used. I have restored defaults and set energy settings to do so and still no luck. Any thoughts? Was this part of a current update? It just started to not sleep a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your help regarding my computers sleep disorder. I wanted you to know that after many hours of searching, I found that I had downloaded a program called Growl with my Belkin router when I installed it. I removed this Growl program and finally my computer will sleep on it's own. I wanted to give you this info just in case you come across this problem again.
Thanks again!

Should I turn off my Mac Pro when not in use or leave it running?

I have been told I should never turn off my computer by some people, and others say that I should always turn it off when not in use! I use my Mac Pro primarily for music recording/editing in my home studio or word processing. Now that I have an iPad I use that for web browsing, email, FBing, etc. and I find myself on my Mac Pro a lot less. I get the basis behind both trains of thought; those who leave it on feel always stopping and starting up puts unnecessary wear on the moving disks, and those who shut down think if the parts are always moving they are bound to wear out faster. I am not as concerned with conserving power as I am with keeping my machine safe! If you have any information on this topic I would love to hear it. Thanks!

Providing you have a robust firewal and are not worried as a result about being hacked then leave it turned on and allow it to sleep. Make sure you allow the screen to sleep as well a that is the item that is more prone to damage by being left on all the time.
I never turn my machine off, never have with any of my Macs ever since my first one back in 1979-ish and have never suffered any adverse affects. Today, the power drain is so small when allowed to sleep that I doubt they would offend even the ardent 'turn off everything and pull out the plug to save the planet' person.
If you have an iPad or iPod synced with the Mac for email and iCal and address Book etc. then if you leave it on it should be up to date as soon as you return home, mine is anyway. With iCloud coming out very soon that may come into play even more so with all its advance pushing etc. Just a thought.
One advantage in leaving the machine on (sleep) is that you can access it from anywhere in the world should the need arise with the appropriate settings, which you can't if you turn it off.
Leave it on.

IPhone resets itself when not in use

I have an original iPhone which has been updated to 3.0. Since the update I've noticed that the phone will spontaneously restart itself when not in use. When this happens I'll notice the screen light up with the silver Apple logo and then go blank. This will happen repeatedly. While this is going on I can't use the phone until I plug it into the computer. Once iTunes does it's thing the phone will return to normal for a while - sometimes a day or two - before repeating this behavior. I have reset and restored the phone but without solving the problem. Apart from this everything seems to be working properly.
Any ideas?

Have you tried restoring and setting up as a new phone (i.e., not restoring from a backup)? Sometimes those backups bring along whatever is messing up your phone.

I have a MAC OSX 10.6.8 Is it better to keep it in sleep mode when not in use or shutting down?

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Should I keep it in sleep mode when not in use to shut down?

My experience with electronic tends to revolve around thermo stress, and removing all power vs going to sleep tends to be more or less the same. Many components have power totally taken away, and others use so little power they cool off.
However, I found thermo stress occurs a lot more with discrete electronic components (like back in the '80s and our VAX-11/780's which had lot more discrete components) and less with integrated circuits. NOTE: I'm not talking about overheating components, just normal heating/cooling cycles.
All in all I would not worry about it. The OP (Grace 1) should use whatever method is most convent for her. And I would say if she is using a Macbook Air or the new Macbook Pro Retna display (or any other Mac with a solid state drive (SSD)), then booting from shutdown may not take all that long anyway.

Photoshop 5.1 bombs when not in use and often disables keyboard

I'm using Mac OS X 10.7.2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo IMac. A few months ago I downloaded PhotoShop 5.1 after having used every previous issue of PhotoShop without a problem.
1. Often when I have Photoshop open on my desktop but not actively using it, it will freeze and I'll have to force quit and restart. When I installed the latest version of InDesign and Illustrator they would also freeze when not in use, however removing and resinstalling them seemed to fix the problem for them, but not for Photoshop.
2.I will be working along on a project when suddenly all of the alphanumerical keys on my keypad won't work. I ultimately have to restart the Mac to get them to work again in any program. This never happens with any other program and I have tried othe keypads, even one just out of the box, and it's always the same.
I have removed and reinstalled Photoshop twice, but still the same issues.
I have called the Adobe helpline and tried all of their fixes, but it still happens. They resolved that it must be my Mac. But Mac says because it is related to a specific software it is not their problem.
Any ideas?

Thanks for taking the time to respond.
It might be Suitcase 3, because I keep having trouble with it and issues with the FM Core.
I'm also getting this prompt which I don't know how to resolve: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences. (I couldn't find it in the preferences and not sure who the video card manufacturer is.)
Here is the other software that usually is or may be running at the same time as Photoshop: InDesign 7.5, Illustrator 15.1.0, ITunes 10.5.3, Mail 5.1, Preview 5.5.1, Suitcase Fusion 3 14.2.0, Firefox 9.0.1, Microsoft Word 14.1.4 and Excel 14.1.4; less often: PowerPoint 14.1.4, ICal 5.0.1 and Address Book 6.1
When I first had problems with this install as I mentioned I upgraded my operating software and donwloaded MacKeeper to clean things up. It hasn't helped.

I just bought a new iphone 4S and its has green and purple striiples on the screen when not in use, I took it back to store and they said it was the display protector that is making the striples?

I just bought a new apple iphone 4S and its has green and purple striples on it when not in use, is this norm? I took it back to the Verizonwirless and they said it was from the display protector on the screen?

it was from the display protector on the screen?
Most likely that is the reason. I have a screen protector on and see similar issues when the iPhone is not on. They're not noticeable when turned on. Remove it and see the difference.

When not to use SAP PI

Hi all,
Do you agree?

Hi all,
Synchronous integration
I disagree either! SYNC comms are cool
User Interface Integration scenario
I don't agree totally, i think it depends from what people want to do, per eg: In a B2B scenario, where Portal needs to acess an application, which is outside the company, i think communication should't be direct.
Web Service interface of backend application
I don't disagree totally, if in a company exists only one or two servers... :P. Normally when i hear something like that, it comes from people, who still have some resistance about PI and midlewares in general...If there is only one scenario or two, well, who cares about a middleware, why spending money on it. However, if you have complex architectures, several applications, multiple scenarios, obviously a middleware adds a lot of value, and if a company already has it and pays for it, why not to use it?
Any more opinions?
Naresh, why do you say PI is not unicode compatible? Can you open a thread with an example?
Best Regards,

WHEN TO USE SYS_REFCURSOR AND WHEN NOT TO USE REFCURSOR

SYS_REFCURSOR is a Weakly Defined Cursor
DECLARE emp_refcur SYS_REFCURSOR;
when this is so simple
why this
DECLARE TYPE emp_cur_type IS REF CURSOR RETURN emp%ROWTYPE; my_rec emp_cur_type; ?
Can anyone explain in what situations we should prefer among these ..when both can give same result set .

> WHEN TO USE SYS_REFCURSOR AND WHEN NOT TO USE REFCURSOR
When the requirements define that one is better suited than the other.
There are no hard and fast rules about when to use a specific tool. There are however basic concepts of what the purpose of the tool is, and what typical problems the tool can address.
Ref cursors in PL/SQL.. usually not the best of ideas. Ref cursors are designed for client-server processing.
1) The client makes a request for data/information.
2) PL applies the back-end server logic and construct a SQL statement for the client.
3) PL passes the SQL to the SQL engine where it is parsed and a SQL cursor created.
4) PL passes a reference handle to SQL cursor back to the client
5) The client can now fetch the rows output from the cursor.
Advantages.
- The client does not need to know SQL, db structures, business logic, etc
- The PL code can be improved, modified, new business logic added, without even touching a single byte of client code
So what are the advantages where the "client" in the above is another PL/SQL program? None really.
A "real" client (an external one like Java, C#, Delphi, etc) can receive the ref cursor handle and dynamically at run-time determine the projection (output) of the cursor.
PL code cannot (unless using the latest 11g features). In PL code, a ref cursor is actually implemented as a DBMS_SQL cursor. A DBMS_SQL cursor is to PL code what ref cursor is to Java/C#/etc.
So whether you define a strongly typed or weakly typed ref cursor in PL/SQL code... typical response is "so what?" as ref cursors are not really intended for PL code. Not that there are exceptions - they do come in handy at times.. but as exceptions to the rule.
So my response is "so what?" - it is more important to *correctly" chose what type of client cursor data type you want to use to interact with the back-end SQL cursor. Once that decision has been made (based on technical sound logic), then one can look at (minor) issues such as weak vs. strong ref cursors.

Iphone 5 battery suddening draining when not in use

Had my iphone 5 for about 3 months and was very pleased with the battery life. But literally out of no where the battery started draining super fast. Dropping 15% in 30 minutes when not in used. Here's the deal...nothing has changed ie locations, email, icloud etc. And quite honestly what is the freaking point of having those things if it drains the battery at unreasonable speeds. So I completely frustrated with Apple for at least not saying "we understand theres and issue and we are working on it." I will never switch cuz I'm an idiot Apple diehard but there have been so many bugs of late it's just frustrating. Also at the same time of the fast drain when I swipe to delete a text the delete button dissapears within one second. Both issues came on at the same time. I'm trying reseting the battery, restoring, unchecking notifications and a bunch of other features which is so stupid... whats the point of having a smart phone if you can't use the features? So I am going to demand a new phone and I know the Apple Genius guys who are so far from genius its pathetic are going to say nothing is wrong with the phone haha, just like the did with the super slow WiFi connections I get...they were completely unaware that there was a problem with iphones and Wifi cuz of course at the Apple Store the Wifi flies when they test it there but of course once you go back to your home or business the Wifi is back to super slow. Wow the things we put up with. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions please reply.

Closing Lid When Not In Use

This may be a silly question, but I have never seen anyone inquire about this.
I usually leave my Mac Book open while sleeping and rarely close the lid, as it is used more as a desktop rather than a portable. Is it wiser to close the lid when not in use to protect from dust or is it wiser to leave open to prevent any wear and tear of frequently closing the lid?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

i think you should always close it because it prevents dust and it was made to open and close i close mine when moing from room to room and no problems i think the people at apple know that people close LAPTOPS and they would build a strong hinge

Overheating when not in use

For the last few days my MacBook has started to become extremely hot when not in use. While I am using the MacBook it is not hot, this issue only arrises when I am not using it. The energy savings are 3 minutes for computer sleep and screen sleep. I can hear the internal fan is still working.
Any ideas what has suddenly changed would be welcome. Thank you.

The condition has continued. After selecting sleep and putting the computer to sleep, it will start up again at will without any interaction. This occurs when disconnected from the internet.
There have been no changes in configuration or installation of new software.
I thought this awakening of the computer could be a character of a virus program or Unix maintenance programs. But this didn't occur before and no matter now many times I put the computer to sleep it continually awakes. All I can assume is some component in the system has changed by itself.
It is not really an issue as such, but the problem is that when the computer awakes by itself the fan doesn't run (usually the fan is running when the computer is warm - so the fan is still functioning) so the computer becomes like a hotplate, which could lead to damage of the motherboard. I usually find the computer really hot after being out or in the morning.
Any ideas as to what is causing these self starts would be helpful.
