How do i make my macbook never go into sleep?

I want to have my macbook downloading something at night, but for some reason it keeps going into some sort of sleep and shows the annoying log in screen like when u close ur macbook and then opens it again after sleep. How can i remove this? Ive unclicked and dragged everything in battery and removed the weird screensavers. What else can i do??

Another thing, cba to edit text, this wasn't a problem in Snow Leopard, there i could turn the screen brightness to 0% and go nuts!

    For this and other power related issues the best first step to try is resetting the System Management Controller.
    Best of luck.

  • How do you make a MacBook Pro talk to an Epson printer?

    MacBook Pro
    OS X 10.6.8
    (Thinking about getting  another MacBook)
    I had an Epson Artisan printer, got an Epson Workforce WF-3640 new in Jan, hardly used because I cannot make it do what I want it to do. Wireless connection is good.
    With the MacBook Pro, the interface with the Epson printers is not what it used to be on the G4: no ColorSync, no 2-sided, no thick paper, none of those kinds of instructions appear on the generic printer control panel. Which by the way, bears NO resemblance to the Epson manual screenshots, and the instructions in the Epson manual are useless.
    How do you make a MacBook Pro talk to an Epson printer? And by the way, I cannot use the scanner either. I have to set up a document to print, then when the printing progress box appears, click on the scanner icon.
    Also
    Printer has 2 compartments. Top compartment #1 for all types paper.
    Bottom compartment #2 for plain paper only.
    I load glossy photo paper in #1, it prints plain paper from #2 even though I entered instructions on the control panel on the printer.

    If you haven't done so already, try resetting the printing system.

  • How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

    How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are  XP,Vista & 7.
    Thanks
    Leon

    Unplug the USB cable from the printer.  Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
    Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode

    Hi. My Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode with varying time between each instance. It usually goes for a few minutes or even hours without doing it and then will go through periods of fluctuation between the modes. I believe this to have started with a minor orange juice accident rather than it being anything software related.
    Any ideas as to how I might rectify the problem? Thanks very much in advance,
    Danny

    When you say it goes into sleep mode ...do you mean you actually see the white pulsing light?
    It may be that there is an application running (perhaps in the background) that is keeping your book awake. Printer software sometimes does this for example ...try logging out and seeing if it sleeps like that. If it does, then it very well may be a background process running.
    You may find some items in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items that may be the culprit.

  • How can I make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video on an iPad 3?

    Been trying to find a way to make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video. Is there a way to do this?

    You can avoid the Ken Burns effect, but it would be a lot of work:
    See:  http://help.apple.com/imovie/ipad/2.0/index.html#knac3eec39c6
    If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
    Adjust the movement of photos with the Ken Burns effect
    iMovie applies the Ken Burns effect to the photos you add to your project. With this effect, the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. If there are people in the photo, iMovie uses face detection to keep faces within the viewing area.
    You can adjust the Ken Burns effect so that the motion starts and ends on the parts of the image you specify.
    In the timeline, tap the photo you want to adjust.The Ken Burns effect controls appear in the lower-right corner of the image in the viewer.
    To set the way the photo is framed at the beginning, tap the Start button .
    Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
    To set the way the photo is framed at the end, tap the End button .
    Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
    To close the controls, tap the Ken Burns Effect button , or tap outside of the clip.
    If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.

  • Why won't my Macbook Pro go into sleep or screensaver mode?

    For some reason my MacBook Pro stopped going into sleep or screensaver mode. I have always had my computer set on the most energy efficient settings. It used to go into sleep and screensaver mode just fine. I did not make any changes to my settings (and no one else has access to my computer) and now it just will not go to sleep by itself and it will not go into screensaver. The only light on my computer that still dims is the keyboard, it will dim when it is supposed to. Occasionally, my computer screen will randomly dim when it is supposed to, but then it will brighten again without me touching anything. Even more occasionally, it will go into sleep and screen saver mode, but this hardly ever happens. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

    You could check Activity Monitor and see if something is running in the background stopping it from going to sleep or having the screen saver come up.
    That is what it sounds like. A program is keeping it from sleeping.

  • How can i make my macbook pro run faster? seems slower then usual. :(

    okay, so my macbook pro lately seems to be going slow, well, its been gradually getting worse and worse.
    i am getting the rainbow wheel thingy just about every time i click onto a new button.
    i have SOPHOS (antivirus) installed, have never installed any antivirus or mackeeper ****.
    i usually only have safari and maybe itunes open.
    2.2GHz Intel Core i7     8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM (MEMORY)      OSX 10.8.4     15 inch screen     350GB free hard drive space
    ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
    If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
    Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
    Step 2
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

  • How can I make my macbook faster?

    Mac's typically don't need defragging, however if it's a older Mac it most certainly can use it.

    3. Click Advanced on the lower right
    4. Under the Wi-Fi tab you should see prefered networks
