I have the Energy Saver setting set to NEVER on both, and my computer STILL goes to SLEEP after 1 hour. Please help!
My COMPUTER goes to sleep and disrupts my apple tv all the time. How can I fix this?

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

Hi I just upgraded software through iTunes then unplugged iPhone now it is stuck on the connect to intunes screen, it won't turn off and iTunes and my computer won't recognize my phone? Please help

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?

HT1776 I have no Energy Saver in my MacPro, how can I set it not to sleep in OSX Lion?

I want to be able to remote control my Mac Pro when I travel, But if it sleeps, I can not access it via logmein. I have a Model 1,1 MacPro running OSX Lion.
It has no energy Saver where I can prevent it from sleeping. Is there a way of me remote controlling it if it is asleep or shutdown?

Sorry, but Energy Saver has always been a part of OS X, so if you don't have it then you've deleted it. Try reinstalling OS X. Better yet upgrade OS X to at least Snow Leopard.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Are my applications compatible?

I have spent far too much time on this new Ipod touch. my son has a 1st generation i touch and asked for a 4th generation 64 for his birthday today. I got it for him last week. got it all set up after HOURS of time with apple and bestbuy. now that I gave it to him- there is another problem!! IT WON'T CONNECT TO SAFARI OR ITUNES OR ITUNES STORE!!! The ipod he had previously is connecting to both just fine, as well as our pc. please help me.
before you answer I have tried restore.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indiacte a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite with my calendar? Please help!

Hi All,
I have synced my new iPhone 4S with my old iphone 3S and i can't invite any contacts with my calendar?
is there something I have not done properly to do this or do I need to update calendar software or is this an App thing?
Please help!

Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups. If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it. Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from. When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

How do i fix all the things that say "The song "Song name here" because the original file can not be found." It does the same thing with more than half of my apps and WAY more than half of my songs. Please help me.

Just tell me how to fix it. PLease

Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.
via: No content shows up in iTunes after updating

If that doesn't resolve the issue, then I'd go through the steps in here:

The Energy Saver in System Preferences has no effect.

Hi,
I have my Energy Saver preference set to turn off my monitor after 20 minutes of idle time. But the display never goes off.
Energy Saver used to work, now it doesn't and I have no idea why not, or what changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Perhaps you have some process keeping it awake for some reason. Have you installed any new stuff recently?
Try smc and pram reset.
Open terminal and copy/paste the following line, hit return, post the results:
pmset -g
Also post the files in the following places:
your login items
~/Library/LaunchAgents (in your home directory)
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/StartupItems
And again in terminal the output from the following line (copy/pasteand hit reutrn):
kextstat -kl | awk ' !/apple/ { print $6 $7 } '
Maybe some of this info will indicate a possible culprit.

Computer keeps going to sleep even though it is set up not to

I recently helped a friend set up his iMac to stream to his home stereo system so things like Pandora could be played throughout the house. The problem we are having is his computer keeps going to sleep and back to the log-in screen. In energy saver, we set the computer and display to never go to sleep. We also un-checked the box that says "put the hard disks to sleep when possible." Even after doing this, the display still goes dark and when the mouse is moved to turn the screen on it is back at the log in screen. This causes pandora to stop playback, which is not good since this is why we set up the streaming in the first place. Why is the computer still going to sleep when we are telling it to never do so?

HI Ty,
Couldn't hurt to check the hard disk.
Follow these instructions to verify the hard disk for errors:
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your disk, and click First Aid.
Click Verify Disk.
If the disk needs repairs, do one of the following:
Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
Follow the onscreen instructions until the menu bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click Repair Disk. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.5 in the window and click: Restart
If you don’t have a Mac OS X Install disc, restart your computer while holding down the Shift key. As your computer starts up, it performs a disk check similar to the one Disk Utility performs.

Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're being logged-off.
Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc?
If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution.

I have been taking photos for years and have thousands. When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them. Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few? Thanks.

The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.

I have cross dissolve transitions set between images and videos, and I have the pan/zoom hold setting at "0." Despite the "0" setting, my images are static until the cross dissolve is complete. I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible. Is there a solution?

tonyproam
I am not sure if I am zeroing in on what you seek so please clarify...on
I want the pan/zoom feature to start the moment the subsequent image becomes visible.
Do you mean fading in visible versus or completely visible at the end of the transition? Whatever the case, I have not
found a scenario to fit what you are describing.
However, here are my suggestions for you to consider...
1. What is the alignment of the Cross Dissolve transition - Left Clip, Between Clips, or Right Clip. If Between Clips, please try Left Clip alignment.
2. What is the duration of the Cross Dissolve transition - you could try varying the transition duration. If less than 1 second, then please read the
details for minimum transition duration in the following
http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/03/pe-minimum-duration-for-transition.html
Please let me know if any of the above worked for you in what you were seeking regarding pan and zoom effect and video transitions.
Thank you.

I have an ipad1 and would like to update to to 5.1 but no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update to newer versions?

I no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update?

You have no choice but to use iTunes on a computer if you want to update. You can update on any computer running iTunes, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back the iPad up on that computer, restore from the backup when you are done updating and then download all of your content again.

UNIX command for Energy Saver settings - Set Schedule

Using ARD 3, can anyone help me with a UNIX command for setting the scheduled sleep and wake times for 10.4 clients?
Thanks,
Josh

Thanks for getting me on the right track, I've been working with pmset for a couple days now and I'm having some problems getting my basic schedule that I'd like to work. I'm hoping for another nudge in the right direction. Here's the scenario:
I need the computers to wake at 7am on weekdays and to sleep at 3:30pm on weekdays as well. I've also got an addition to make the displays sleep after half an hour of inactivity, Here's what I'm trying.
pmset repeat wake MTWRF 7:00:00;
pmset repeat sleep MTWRF 15:30:00;
systemsetup -setdisplaysleep 30;
I've been trying to push this out as a batch of commands in a template which would be slick, but the problem I'm having is that the two pmset commands don't get along and whichever one is run last cancels out the other. In the actual System Prefs of the machine I'm sending the commands to, there are the two check boxes for Wake or Power On and the other for Sleep or Power Down but I can't get them both to be checked from my UNIX commands.
Could anyone please help, I feel like I'm so close!
Regards,
Josh

My battery icon has disappeared from my menu bar at the top of the screen and the energy saver preferences simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'

My battery icon randomly disappeared a few months ago from my menu bar and i have been unable to make it come back. After researching solutions online it soon became clear that all of the suggestions needed me to go into the energy saver preferences in the setting however the icon for the energy saver preferences is no longer there and whenever i click in the blank space where it used to be, it simply says 'Could not load Energy Saver preference pane'. As a result of this i never know how much battery i have left and so i just have to wait for the machine to die each time
The mac in question is a 13 inch 2012 macbook air that is running on OS Mavericks at the moment.
Any ideas on how to get the icon back?
- I recently discovered by accident that before i actually log into my account on my mac, when i am still on the page that contains the options of guest user etc. at that point the battery icon is displayed in the top right hand corner? Why is it that the icon exists there but not once i have logged it? Thankyou for any advice.

Nzdmalan the Adobe Creative Cloud application can be found in your Applications folder. Are you able to access the application itself? Is your computer managed by an I.T. department?

HT1776 I have the Energy Saver setting set to NEVER on both options, and my computer STILL goes to SLEEP after 1 hour. Please help!
