G5 will not automatically sleep.

I have read other posts but none seem to fit my scenario. I have a G5 with 2 internal drives both running 10.5.8. My main boot drive will not sleep when scheduled only when I select it from the menu or press the power button. The other drive will sleep with no issues. Is there a way (without having to clean install and re-install all my preferences/programs) to replace the energy saver prefs for the drive with the issue?

I have exactly the same problem with my G5 tower.
Choosing sleep from the apple menu and pressing the power button work fine, but automatic sleep in Energy Saver prefs does not work.
Like xshedx, I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMU. I've also removed RAM chips and this weekend I replaced the stock Apple internal hard drive (160GB) with a WD 500GB Black Edition.
Even after I did a fresh install of Leopard (leaving it on original 10.5) and recreating my user account from scratch......it STILL won't go to sleep after a specified amount of time.
So it seems like it's not a system update issue, as I'm running 10.5 with no software updates applied.
It must be an internal component and I'm officially out of ideas....

IBook Will Not Automatically Sleep

Lately I have had a problem with my iBook G4 not automatically going to sleep after the specified period of time. Obviously this is a problem when running on battery power! I usually have it set to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity to save the battery, but it will not go to sleep. I'll come back a few hours later to a dead battery. It does sleep when I shut the lid, and it goes to sleep fine when I select Sleep from the  menu. It will also go to sleep when the battery is low (about 2%). It just will not sleep after the interval that I set.
I have tried the following:
Deleted the powermanagement.plist file then rebooted.
Verified the HD and repaired disk permissions both from disk utility and install disk.
Tried the cmd-shift-option-power reset option after shutting down, still the same...the iBook will not go to sleep on its own.
No software is running, no additional RAM has been installed, and this happens on both battery and AC power. Any thoughts?
iBook G4, 12" 1.33 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Restart and hold down on the "shift" key until you see the spinning gear icon. This will startup the iBook in "safe" mode. Test to see if the iBook sleeps normally now. If it does, then you have some kind of third-party software conflict. If it doesn't, then you might consider resetting the Power Management Unit:

"cmd-shift-option-power" is not the same thing as "control-shift-option-power"...

MBP will not automatically sleep

In the last couple weeks, my MBP will not sleep on its own. I have reset the PRAM and removed the battery and held down the power button for at least 10 seconds, then booted with no change. I also repaired disk permissions on the HD. I can force sleep through the apple menu, or pressing apple-option-eject, or by closing the lid. But it will not sleep on its own. I have it set to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. I have also tried having all applications closed. This randomly started happening, no new apps or hardware have been changed. Any ideas???

Please, not everyone at once!!! That's okay, I figured it out. It turned out to be a preference file. I logged in with a different account and the sleep function was working fine. So I moved my Preference folder to the desktop so it would create a new one once I logged in again. When I did this, the sleep function worked perfectly. I didn't know or feel like finding the exact preference file, so I just dumped the entire folder.

IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

10.9.2 upgrade and now wifi will not automatically reconnect after wake from sleep

I upgraded to 10.9.2 on my mid-2012 Macbook air and now when i wake the laptop from sleep the wifi will not automatically reconnect. I have to physically click on my network to re-join it.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. Reinstall OS X.

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi

My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?

Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Which is taken from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

TS1717 iTunes will not automatically recognize a CD in the optical reader

iTunes will not automatically show me CD contents or import CD when I insert into the CD/DVD reader. To back up a little, iTunes WILL recognize the very first CD that I insert after powering up the PC, but none thereafter. It doesn't matter if I close iTunes and then re-launch it, I must shut down the PC and re-start, and then iTunes will recognize the first CD I insert, but not the second.
I've read the iTunes help and done everything suggested there, but to no avail. I am using iTunes version 10.6.3.25. Has anyone else had this issue? It surprises me that there is apparently no manual way to get iTunes to take a look at the CD in the optical drive -- it's automatic or nothing.

Bart,
Thanks for your input. After creating my post, I found out that I was mistaken on one point. If I closed and then re-opened iTunes, the first CD that I inserted was recognized (but not subsequent CDs). So, I just closed the iTunes software and then re-opened it for each CD. I had a large number of CDs to copy into my library, so this was an annoyance, but not nearly as big an annoyance as if I'd had to shut down the PC between CDs.
My Dell PC, by the way, does not have a door on the optical reader. You simply push the CD into a slot on the side of the PC and it is pulled in.
I still don't understand why iTunes does not have a menu selection to cause the software to look to the optical drive to see what is there. But I'm finished now, so won't lose any sleep over it.

TS1398 After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet via the 3G network unless I turn it off and then on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this issue?

After leaving a wi-fi connection my iphone will not automatically connect to the internet using a mobile 3G network unless I turn my phone off and then back on again. Is there a setting that can be changed to overcome this?

Then I'm at a loss. Mine has switched automatically from the start, favoring Wi-Fi, any of its registered networks, whenever available. Only thing I can think of is trying a Force Restart and see if that clears things up: hold down Home and Sleep till the screen goes black and a white Apple logo pops up. Release and allow it to restart.
May be similar, when I got the i5 about 16 months ago, the local carrier was starting to roll out 4G service. The phone would regularly lose all carrier connection, voice and data. Haphazardly would reconnect when it felt like it afterwards. Initially did the Off/On dance to speed things up, but discovered that using Airplane Mode would do the same without the lengthier power cycle. After awhile, the carrier 'fessed they were having capacity issues and later the problem went away. So yours too may also be a carrier issue.

My iPhone will not automatically backup to iCloud after iOS7 install

My iPhone 5 will not automatically backup to icloud anymore now that iOS7 has been installed. Steps I have tried so far...
Installed iOS7 through Software Update - relazed three days later that the phone was not backing up
Did a manual backup
Erased the entire phone
Restored from iCloud backup
Then reset all phone settings
Signed out of iCloud, deleted all data and then signed back in
Is anyone else having this issue after updating to iOS7?

my dear friend i have like your problem before and when i see alot of solution i find the one it work with me and
come autmatic again
take the solution:
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
Actually the iCloud backup process sounds a bit more complicated than it actually is in practical use. You can’t schedule iCloud backups manually, but you don’t need to do so as iOS takes care of this for you, and it’s designed to be pretty transparent.
Once enabled, iCloud backups will run automatically whenever the following conditions are met:
Your device is powered on,
Your device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi,
Your device is connected to a power source,
Your device has the screen locked (i.e. turned off), and
It has been at least 24 hours since the last successful backup occurred.
In other words, your device may not be backed up to iCloud at the same time every day, but once 24 hours has elapsed the iPhone will make a backup as soon as it is plugged in and on Wi-Fi with the screen off. For example, if your iPhone backs up to iCloud at 10:00 pm tonight, but you don’t plug it in while on a Wi-Fi connection until midnight tomorrow night, the next backup will occur at midnight—basically as soon as you plug it in—and future backups will continue to run at midnight on subsequent days as long as the iPhone is plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi, and has the screen off at that time. If you’re working an irregular schedule and coming home at different hours, this may gradually push the backups to later at night, but the backup won’t be skipped if you miss the time window—it will still occur as soon as possible once all of the other conditions are met.
This does of course mean that sometimes backups can get pushed to the point where they may be delayed until the next night; come home at 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning and plug in your iPhone and that’s when your next backup will occur, but if you leave for work on Monday morning at 9:00 am and your phone isn’t plugged in and on Wi-Fi while at work, you won’t get another automatic backup until you get home and plug it in later that night.
You can check the time of the last successful iCloud backup by going into the Settings app on your iPhone and choosing Storage & Backup from the iCloud section.
You can also tap the “Back Up Now” button from this screen to create a manual iCloud backup at any time. To create a manual iCloud backup, your iPhone only needs to be on Wi-Fi, it does not need to be plugged in or have the screen off.
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
This can be one method for adjusting to a specific backup time if you really feel the need to, but it’s largely unnecessary as iOS should naturally settle into a standard backup routine as long as your iPhone is regularly plugged in and on Wi-Fi for at least a few hours each day, such as while you’re sleeping.
As one last note, it’s also worth keeping in mind that the iPhone only needs to be connected to power with the screen off to start an iCloud backup; once the automatic backup has started, it will continue as long as the iPhone remains on a Wi-Fi connection, even if you unplug the iPhone or begin using it.

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If i download a picture on on an app, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.

To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

Reporting Services will not automatically use a different replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue

Reporting Services offers limited support for using AlwaysOn Availability Groups with report server databases. The report server databases can be configured in AG to be part of a replica; however Reporting Services will not automatically use a different
replica for the report server databases when a failover occurs. How to overcome this issue? is there any workaround for that..
Rahul

Hi.
With the AlwaysOn listener you should have a single DNS name to connect to regardless of which cluster node is active. Are you using the listener service? If not, please refer to the link below.

Try resetting it. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Why will images will not automatically load in apple mail despite having the setting turned on correctly

I have had this ongoing problem. I cannot get images to automatically load in mail. Instead I always have to click the load images button. I click on a message, click load images, the images load. I click on another message, then back to the message with the images and have to reload them.
In preferneces I have turned the View>Load remote HTML images on and off and on again, and rebotted multiple times. It makes no difference. The images do not load.
I checked Little Snitch, but all ports are open.
My firewall is set to let everything connect to mail. Even just turning off the firewall does not solve the problem.
I tried removing com.apple.mail.plist but that did not work either.
This problem occurs in Mail on a MacBook Pro and on a MacBook Air both using the newest version of OS Mountain Lion. The problem happened in OS Lion as well.
The senders are in my contacts, so that doesn't help either.
This is not an issue with the serve sending the images. The images load if I click load images. They just will not automatically laod.
I've read tons of posts but no one seems to know how to solve the problem.
Does anyone have any other ideas?

I am not sure how to link these discussions, so below I am pasting the post that helped me. And here is the link:

This is not a problem specific to Lion, but most recent OS X versions. Regularly I receive email formatted as HTML, which includes JPEG images embedded within them. These images are technically attachments, and as such, Mail.app displays them as a placeholder. Other mail apps will display these images inline, regardless of them being an attachment, remote image or otherwise.
How can I make these images load automatically?
MacBook, Unibody, Mac OS X (10.7), 750GB, 7200RPM WD HDD, 4GB RAM
This solved my question by louse101 on Jul 26, 2011 3:47 AM
No-one replied, but I found a solution on another board. Run Terminal (do a Spotlight search if you don't know where to find this), and type:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool false
This will force Mail not to disable inline attachment viewing. Obviously, to reverse this, simple replace 'false' at the end with 'true'.

PC will not automatically connect to wireless network on startup...

Hi all - I have a WRTG54 wirless router with the latest firmware. Windows XP Home SP2. I have a mixed network with two wired PCs and one wireless. The wireless PC will not automatically connect to the network. To connect to the network i have to go to the wireless network properties box and check "let windows automatically configure network" Once I do this the wirelss PC connects with no problem. Unfortunatley, whenever i turn the PC off and turn it back on the "let windows automatically configure network" is unchecked and i have to go through the process of checking it again. I uninstalled the wireless adapter and reinstalled the drivers only and then ran the windows wireless setup wizard but the problem persists. Any help on this would be much appreciated.!!!! Thanks!!

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Do not let "Windows automatically configure your network". Instead do the following:
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings). Reboot computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. It should connect automatically. If you still have trouble, in the computer, temporarily disable your software firewall, including Windows Firewall, and see if that helps.
Some users have reported improved wireless connections by switching to WPA ( = WPA with TKIP) encryption.

My IPod will not automatically advance to the next song.

IPod will not automatically advance to the next song. I have updated and restored. The Shuffle has the two arrows crossing which I believe means it should be advancing. Any suggestions?

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat (the right hand side features the Shuffle feature). You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't, tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?
