EMacs Energy Saver function won't work.

Did anyone notice the same strange thing with the Energy Saver Control Panel after the 10.4.10 update? It won't work anymore... I would like to get this thing to sleep, to save electricity... Yes, I did check the Energy Saver Control Panel/Screen saver settings and this thing suppose to go to sleep after 3 hrs but it won't. Any suggestions? Thanks!

harrytroeger,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
What peripherals do you have attached to the eMac? In particular, do you have a all-in-one printer/copier/scanner or stand-alone scanner attached? It's possible that the scanner driver in that case conflicts with the latest OS X version.
Is "wake for Ethernet network administrative access" checked in the Energy Saver options tab?
More generally, try resetting PRAM by restarting, then as soon as the display goes dark, press and hold down command-option-p-r keys until you hear three sets of chimes, then release the keys. You may need to go through System preferences and reset anything affected by resetting PRAM (see What's stored in PRAM?).

Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

Hi there,
I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
I've done the following, but it still won't work:
1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
A new Walcom user in desperate

I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try. Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
Once the software is removed, restart the computer
Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

Shuffle Function won't work

I plugged my iPod mini into another computer, this loaded all the songs on their iTunes on to my iPod. After reloading all my songs my shuffle function won't work and all songs play in order. I have reset my iPod but this has not worked. Any ideas?

Energy Saver Display Sleep Not Working

I have a late 2011 MBP with an external 27" Apple display. Was working great under 10.7.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion the monitor will not go into sleep mode regardless of the Energy Saver settings. I can keystroke the monitors to sleep but they won't enter sleep automatically.
I've tried PRAM and SMC reset.
Any ideas? Bug for Apple? Anyone else having this problem? I've found at least one other guy online with a iMac that's having this problem.

So this seems to be working now. No software updates or other changes. The only thing I did different was to lock the energy saver settings. After that it started working.

"save as" won´t work

please help just downloaded the free trial of photoshop cs6 but the save as button doesn´t work everything else does.

Hi John,
Sorry I was not clear.
No it is not greyed out and it does not throw up a dialogue box.
I simply go to file>save as in ps and nothing happens. Even if I click it 10 times nothing opens. All other functions work properly except "save as". Even only "save" works, but "save as" does not work.
By the way, I don't know if you need this info but I am working on a mini laptop Toshiba with Windows 7 Home edition.
thanks

Energy Saver Preferences won't load

Hi,
I have a late 2011 MBP running Lion 10.7.4 and under system preferences I cannot open Energy Saver Preferences, Desktop and Screen Saver Preferences and Spotlight Preferences. I have googled and attempted all suggestions with no luck. Here is a rundown of what I have attempted so far.
1) Verifty Disk Permissions
2) Repair Disk Permissions
3) Verify Disk
4) Repair Disk
5) Went to /Library/Cache and deleted the two com.apple.preference.cache files
6) Used Terminal to do sudo commands
7) And Finally...did a fresh install of Lion.
Now I will copy my log from Console and maybe somebody can help me out...

A re-install won't touch anything in your Home folder.
Try this...
Quit System Preferences
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library"
and delete these files/folders:
/Preferences/com.apple.system preferences .plist
/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.<12digitHexNumber>.plist

and com.apple.PrefPane.Network.xxx.plist (the X's will be numbers)

Energy Saver preferences won't save, I want to kill my mac

When I change the preferences in Energy Saver, in the System Preferences, to shut down the computer at 10 am, it won't save the change.
I go ahead and unlock Energy Saver (I'm the Admin), make my changes, lock it, and exit. Upon re-entry to the Energy saver screen it shows none of my changes. I tried restarting after making my changes and that did nothing either.
Some number of months ago I told my computer I needed it to shut down at 3:30 am because I often forgot to shut it off when I went to bed. Now it's seemingly perma-stuck on shutting down at 3:30 am when I don't need it to. Frequently I need to leave a download going but my bleeping computer shuts off at 3:30 am in the middle of the download and I have to either start over or wait 5 hours for it to finish when it could've been downloaded while I slept.
This is a ridiculous problem to be having and I can't figure out why the changes won't save.

If you lock the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences immediately after changing the setting, it might not be able to record those changes; in many cases, changes made to an application's preferences take effect once the window has been closed instead of immediately once the setting is made. Before closing the padlock, move to another pane of System Preferences or the main screen.
Basically, this happens because administrator access is needed to write the changes to the disk or PRAM, but you revoked this access when you closed the padlock, which stops the changes from being saved.

The Versions and Auto Save functions do they work with Office 2011?

I recently installed LION on my Apple Pro. However the VERSIONS and AUTO SAVE functions do not seem to work with OFFICE 2011 Word and Excel. Does anyone know why?

Energy saver settings won't stick

I've set my iBook to NOT dim the screen prior to going to sleep. I've also disabled the screen saver and have set the display to sleep after 1 hour. Still, the screen dims (not much, but noticeably) after just a couple of minuts of inactivity. It seems that the energy saver settings have no effect. Does anyone else see this behavior?
Joe

Keep in mind that the "Energy Saver" lock is the same lock as all the other system Preferences locks. If one is unlocked they all are.
My Macbook never has gone to Sleep on it's own, ore rarely if at all. I have attributed it to a 56 dialup accelerator that I use as that program also causes it to take about 31 seconds to go to sleep any time you manually select Sleep from the menu. I just point this out because maybe you have some application that is causing a problem with Sleep.

Export function won't work - help!

Running iPhoto 6 and for some reason my "export" function doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure if upload companions (shutterfly, flickr, etc.) are interfering, but suspect they are. Any have this problem before? Any suggestions on how to fix? Many thanks! Tom

Tom
In your Applications folder, select the iPhoto icon and go File -> Get Info. In the resulting Get Info pane you can manage the installed plug-ins. Turn off the third party ones and you'll be able to see if that's the issue. Then a little trial and error will find the particular one that's causing the issue.

IPod function won't work on iPhone 4

My iPod application won't work on the iPhone 4. I can play YouTube videos, listen to previews on iTunes, but for some reason whenever I hit the play button on a song in iTunes it doesn't start on any of my songs. I've tried the lyrics app to play music, I've tried powering off and restoring it by holding home and power down and still nothing, help!

Read in another thread a solution that worked for me. Basically, you need to delete the music from the phone and re-copy from iTunes with 2 syncs. In the music tab, uncheck the boxes in the playlist, artist and genre option, removing all music from the phone, then sync. Then, re-check the desired music to copy back to the phone and sync. Music should play now from the phone.
I echo the sentiment of another poster that iOS4 really is a disaster. Problem like this should have been solved before release.

Type function won't work on trial version

To add to Semphoric's excellent advice, make sure you're not typing white characters on a white background.

Energy saver window won't open

Since installing Leopard, I can't open the energy saver window of the system preferences. All the other system preference windows are OK. I've reinstalled 10.5.1, trashed the .plist in systempreferences. Thanks to Macjack for your help. Thanks for any further help.

Thanks. This was found in console (shows up each time I click on the energy saver icon in system preferences):
11/26/07 12:59:34 PM System Preferences[1264] * -[NSCFString unsignedIntValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xa0a2a6b4

Energy Saver Display Sleep not working after upgrade. Why???

I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago and since then, the screen will not blank out after the set time on the Display Sleep bar. This happens whether on battery or power. I've run Verify/Repair Disk and Permissions, and still not go. Any suggestions on what else I might do or check to get this going again? Thanks!

What are your screensaver settings? What are your energy saver settings? Will the screen at least go dark or nothing at all? What programs are running? Some programs prevent any kind of sleep while running. I once had an issue on my old iBook when sleep and screensaver where set to 5 min or less and it prevented sleep at all.
There are 2 things that can help if the source is not 3rd party related: first reset PRAM, and if that didn't do anything, reset your SMC (system management controller), but read the linked Apple Instructions, it is recommended to be only used if everything else failed.
