I go to use my imac and its asleep wont wake then if it does mouse is frozen

I am having an issue where if I go to use the computer for the first time say that day or having been on it earlier in the day and return to check mail a few hours later the screen has gone to sleep and I can press any or many buttons and try to wake it but eventually I have to hold down the shutdown power button to get it first to power off - then I can re start machine only to find when its started up again the mouse is frozen and cant be woken or unfrozen.
Help this was purchased only August or September 2012 and is frustrating beyond belief!

I just posted this response in another thread discussing the same problem:
Some users (me included) have had an intermittent wake from sleep problem since some point in OS X 10.6.x, right through Lion 10.7 and during some of Mountain Lion 10.8. For me the problem went away in 10.8.3, although I still see some users, like yourself, continue to experience the problem.
The 'fix' that worked for me was: System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

My transcend HD is on read only mode I guess. What to do? I dont have a windows computer to check and I need to create the back up right now..

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It looks like the external disk is formatted in NTFS, a format that OS X can't write in. The solution is to format the external drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" (if you are going to get a Mac), or "MS-DOS (FAT)" (if you are going to get a PC) as Format in Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Then, you will be able to copy the files you need to the external drive. Note that "MS-DOS (FAT)" doesn't support files bigger than 4 GB.

Contacts are synced with a compatible programme in the computer; in the iCloud or with Yahoo and Google Mail. You can directly "edit" a contact on the phone and/or within the programme that you are syncing your contacts with.
Have you configured/setup mails on your iPhone? If yes, check the contents of the mail account(s) individually. (including iCloud) from SETTINGS - MAILS, CONTACTS, CALENDARS
"Contacts" if chosen from the mail account (s) would add email addresses to your contacts.

What are function modules used in alv,and its explanation

what are function modules used in alv,and its explanation

hi..
The important function modules are
Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge
Reuse_alv_list_display
Reuse_alv_events_get
Reuse_alv_grid_display
Reuse_alv_commentary_write.
REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
 This function module is used to populate a field catalog which is essential to display the data in ALV.
 If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table name as a parameter (I_structure_name) in the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we need to create it.
Note : Fieldcatalog can be filled manually also by filling up all the required details into the internal table
The important parameters are:
 1. Export:
 a. I_program_name : report id
 b. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table
 c. I_inclname : include or the report name where all
 the dynamic forms are handled.
 2. Changing
 ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type
 SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is declared in the
 type pool SLIS.
REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
This is the function module which prints the data.
The important parameters are:
1. Export:
 I_callback_program : report id
 I_bypassing_buffer : X
 I_buffer_active :
 I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can set
 his own pf status or change the
 functionality of the existing pf status.
 I_callback_user_command : routine where the function codes are
 handled.
 I_structure name : name of the dictionary table
 Is_Layout : structure to set the layout of the report
 It_fieldcat : internal table with the list of all fields and their
 attributes which are to be printed (this table
 can be populated automatically by the function
 REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
 It_events : internal table with a list of all possible events
 of ALV and their corresponding form names.
2. Tables:
 a. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output
REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET: 
 Returns table of possible events for a a list type
1. Import:
 Et_Events :
 The event table is returned with all possible CALLBACK events for the specified list type (column NAME). For events to be processed by the Callback, their FORM field must be filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The entry can be read from the event table, the field FORM filled and the entry modified using constants from the type pool SLIS.
2. Export:
 I_list_type:
 0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
 1 = hierarchical-sequential list
 REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY
 2 = simple block list REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND
 3 = hierarchical-sequential block list
 REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
A new function from 4.6 version, to display the results in grid rather than a
preview.
Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display
REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
This is used in the Top-of-page event to print the headings and other
comments for the list.
It_list_commentary : Internal table with the headings of the type
 slis_t_listheader.
 This internal table has three fields:
 Typ : H - header, S - selection, A - action
 Key : only when typ is S.
 Info : the text to be printed
plz reward pts if helpful.

vijay.

Assigned F key to play an action does not work. Why? Using cs6 iMac and wireless key board

Assigned F key to play an action does not work to play the action on an image. When the F key is selected it seams to control computer attributes rather than the play action assigned in photoshop. Why? Using cs6 iMac and wireless key board.
Is this a possible preference setting in mac or is it a setting in cs6 photoshop ? Help and knowledge will be appreciated.

Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

Try a reset:
- Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons then try and charge again.
If issue persists try:
- Another known working cable
- Check the charging port for any damage or debris
- You could also use a dry soft bristle toothbrush and gently brush it on the port to clean it of any debris that could be in there

My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?

My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?
Before I updated to OS X Mavericks I was using another external disk that was getting disconnected ocasionally so I bought a new ADATA HD710 portable 1TB Drive and moved the files to it. This new drive which is supposed to be OS X Mavericks compatible takes minutes to show the files especially when opening second and third level folders which has made mu iMac unusable
What should I do?

Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

New iMac and iDVD just wont work!

All,
Just got a new iMac and iDVD just wont work, from creating a new project, or opening an old one, or trying to share from iMovie (HD)
If I try to do anything nothing seems to happen and when I close the program a window does appear and from there it just freezes.
Have deleted and reinstalled iDVD, repaired permissions, all up to date in my on software updates...any ideas?
Thanks
Zara

*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

I recently got a new iMac and did the set up THEN I took it to the store to have my backup data loaded onto my new iMac from my old crashed iMac. Now I have 2 login accounts on my new iMac. The old one has my iTunes and iPhoto libraries and my new login is empty. Is it possible to move the libraries and the other data to my new login and delete the old one?

I've done something a little different but have the same problem, sort of. I had been with AT&T for years and had iphones but I switched to VZ wireless quite a while back and got a droid. I just switched back and got the iphone 4S and was downloading apps from the phone having forgot I already had an iTunes account so I created another one.
After doing the above (which I'm not sure where to even start) is it possible to get all of the songs from my old account loaded onto my new phone (I haven't even attempted it yet because I don't know where to start)?

My iPad 2 "fell asleep" last night and now it wont wake up.

My iPad 2 "fell asleep" last night and now it wont wake up. It is fully charged. What do I do? I hit the home button and nothing happens. I hit the power button and nothing happens. HELP!

Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
4. Allow iPhone to reboot;
If that doesn't work; you will have to try a restore in iTunes;

Hi, I recently came back from 3 months of not using my imac and found it to be exceedingly slow (a problem i have never had before (eg i cant get through playing a song on itunes without it pausing over 10 times for intervals of ~5 seconds.

Please read subject first then continue with this text:
Then I tried to connect my IPAD and IPHONE and neither would update because it couldnt find the file or something and then i couldnt even restore.
The next day itunes was gone completely: "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13014)"
dAnd then the next day ie today there is NO DOCK, NO BACKGROUND and NO DESKTOP ICONS! I had to open safari from the top bar that was only there because I have one random application called Garmin ANT that remained open (i never use this application, its a running computer watch thing)
Thank you so much for any help you can provide
PS Do i have a virus?
I didnt think macs could get viruses?
How do i back up my computer if i cant open finder?
Thanks again
PPS my computer is updated as far as i can tell and achieve.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

I go to use my imac and its asleep wont wake then if it does mouse is frozen
