HP B210a goes into a sleep mode if not used for several hours,

Running my B210a eprinter in windows vista. The printer goes into a sleep mode if not used for several hours. The power button is slowly flashing dim then bright, and I need to manually touch the printer's screen to enable it to print. If printer not used for several days, the only way I can make it work is to unplug and plug. Any suggestions or help appreciated. J Rice

What OS? Wired or wireless connection?

Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
Any ideas guys?

Goes into random sleep mode...hard to start

My IMAC G5 will randomly go into sleep mode while I am in the middle of using it. Typically the fan noise increases and than it auto goes into a sleep mode. It also has issues starting. I have to press and hold the power button for it to kick on while also hitting keys on the keyboard to trigger it. Help!?

iMac model? There are four large families of iMac and each has different troubleshooting issues. This forum covers older ones made between 1998-2005.
What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say about your processor type?

My (2008) macbook pro, running 10.5.8 runs for about 30 seconds and then goes into deep sleep mode. After significant difficulty awakening, it runs for 30 seconds and....start repeating here. It did this once before about a year ago.

.....and then goes into deep sleep mode. When it (finally) awakens....it runs for about 30 seconds and.....start repeating here.
And yes, I've shut dwn and restarted multiple times, rebooted in terminal mode and run fsck, rebooted and reset the parameter ram, yadda-yadda......
Anybdy got any ideas?

After updating my mac, I can no longer close the lid without it going into a sleep mode, that I can only wake by powering off.

Ever since I have updated my Macbook Pro to the newest version of OS, it will go into a sleep mode when I close the lid that I can only wake with powering off the entire computer. I used to be able to close the lid for the night, open it in the morning, and it would be like I never even left it overnight. Now I try to wake it up with pushing everything possibe. Is this new to the update? I even tried to set the settings to "never sleep". Help!

Try Reset SMC.

How do I get My IPHone 5c to go into sleep mode when not using

How do I set my IPhone 5c to go into sleep mode when not using

Are you saying the screen never turns off? That is controlled with auto lock in general settings.
IF your screen turns off, your phone is going to reduced power state, but still looking for events. This is standby, and you see published standby times for the different iPhones.
There is no other setting between this and turning off. So slightly different than a PC.

Tried to sing into my ipad after not using for several months. it asked me for a 4 digit passcode, can't recall having to do that before. tried some common ones i use. it finally locked up. what do i do?

My EE box keeps going into deep sleep cant turn on tv for ages

brightbox wont come out of deep sleep for ages

You need to give us more information, otherwise we cannot help. My EE TV has not done that, but if it is your EE TV box, have you tried resetting it? There is a reset button under the box, small, and you will need something like a pen to push it to restart and reset. You will have to put your wifi details back in etc.

Help: Macbook goes into deep sleep instead of sleeping

Any time my Mac is supposed to go into sleep, like when I leave it alone for 15 mins or close the lid, it goes into deep sleep (hibernates). How do I fix this?
Also, it started happening after I changed the starup disk from Windows to OS X through the boot camp control panel in Windows.

Just reset the SMB following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 and still having the same problem. However I realized two key things:
The computer goes into Deep Sleep mode whenever I tell it to Sleep (Even if I use the Sleep button in the Apple menu)
The above only happens when the power adaptor is plugged in. When running on batteries Sleep seems to work properly
While typing this up I just realized that a widget I have called Deep Sleep for dashboard might be causing my problems, and sure enough... it is. Apparently there is a setting on there that lets you make your Mac's "regular" sleep mode Deep Sleep and I probably turned this on without realizing it. For anyone who's reading this I'll try to keep you posted on if this fixed the problem or not... if I don't post anything else on here you can assume it's fixed. Watch out if you use the Deep Sleep widget

My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off. How do I fix this?

Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

MY 1st gen iPad has candy crush ---but it is stuck in "an update mode". My iPad can no longer acceptsupdates for any games beyond 5.1. Therefore, each time I try to access the game it goes into a "pause" mode. I would hate to delete the game because I think I will lose my score. But I can't play the game either. Can someone help me with this? Can I go back to my last updated candy crush for my ipad, or do I have to delete it and start over? Also, how would I get the one for my generation iPad

I have a similar problem. But my iPad shows the connect iTunes screen and gives error 2001 when I try to restore it.
My iPad's battery was fine but I didn't use it for like 2 weeks. It's battery would've discharged and it turned off. When I tried to charge through wall socket, it got into the restart loop where it would show apple logo and turn off. So I did the simultaneous holding of Home and Sleep buttons for 10 seconds or more. It started showing connect to iTunes.
When I try to restore, the iTunes does the usual "extracting file" or something and go upto preparing for restore. But the iPad screen turns off from "connect to iTunes" and iTunes gives the error 2001, and the screen is back to connect to iTunes.
Also, if I don't plug in, the iPad seems dead, doesn't wake up or anything.

Downloads don't prevent ML from going into energy savings mode

Since installing ML (clean install) most of the downloads (no matter what program) I do cannot be left unattended because as soon as I leave the computer alone, ML eventually goes into energy savings mode, causing my downloads to cease.
Any idea how to prevent that (other than switching the energy saving off)?

None of the available setting suit my needs. I could turn the settings to "off" anytime I want to download something, but I never had to do this before on my Macs.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues. I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck!

New LG Monitor Screen Image Keeps Shifting a few pixels left and right / goes into power save mode

I just purchased a new LG Computer Monitor from Best Buy today and hooked it up to my PowerMac computer. Shortly after setting it up, the entire screen image started sporadically shifting left and right a few pixels. And then, at seemingly random times, it'll shut itself down, going into power save mode. I checked the cables to make sure they were secure and they seem to be. Could there be some sort of interference that's causing it? Or would it be the graphics card? My computer is only a couple years old. Please help!

Do you have another computer you can plug the monitor into to test?
