IMac instant auto awake after an infrared issue!

Hi!
I'd like to make a question because searching the net for this issue has failed:
My iMac awakes almost instantly after a manual or auto(inactivity timer) request to "sleep".This happens randomly (once in 3-4 days and sometimes more often).
I'd like to anticipate that I checked my configuration that could influence the problem:
- Restart after power failure -OFF
- Start Mac through network - OFF
- Ruining apps that block the sleep procedure - None
- SMC reset - Done
- PRam reset - Done
- Combo (10.6.6) reinstall - Done
The clear symptom that indicates a probable issue is that it happens always just after I lose my Apple Remote function (paired and unpaired)
and the Mac goes to sleep correctly when I disable and enable the IR (that also restores the apple remote device).
Because of the random problem I think it's more of a software problem (probably the IR daemon), has anyone encountered this thing? What could I do?
Thanks guys. Keep up the good work.

I'm likely waaaaay off, but I had odd waking behavior on my iMac when I first set it up. It took me a long time but I was able to connect the issues to the remote i was using on my TiVo. It was in the same room and catching IR transmissions at random, thus waking it, and sometimes launching Front Row.
Can you be sure there are no other IR activities taking place in the room when the strangeness occurs?

After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available

Hi, I have a problem with my app: After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available for download/reading.
These are the steps I done:
1. I selected one of the options for subscribe
2. Gone through In App Purchase
3. After going through the In App Purchase, app updates the library
4. After updating the library, the latest issue, is not available for download. It still has "Buy" button
The ios certificates seems ok (redone many times), same steps of other 3 apps I already done.
The In-app purchase Product ID are the same in the iTunes Connect and in the app through Viewer Builder (latest version with v19 tools)
In Adobe dashboard the shared secret are set properly, paywall disabled
Somebody had the same problem and can help me? I don't know really what else I can do
Thanks in advance

Today in iTunes Connect create a new in-app and auto-renewable subscription with a new id, rebuild the app with v20 tools and the new in-app purchase ids, delete the free issue and the in-purchase issue in the adobe dashboard and upload from my original indesign files again (the free with date for pubblication yesterday the other with today date), tested all in the sandbox and... everything works fine, after the subscription purchase the button became "download". I was happy and I sent the new app to Apple again (fourth time) for the approval. After only few hours later Apple start the review (this was amazing because it usually takes at least 5 days). One hour later I receive the "reject" state again
After purchasing the Auto-Renewable subscription, the latest issue did not become available for download/reading. Please see below for the steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Launch app
2. Tap Subscribe
3. Select any of the options for subscribe, for example, 3-month subscription as shown in the screenshot 0496
4. Go through In App Purchase
5. After going through the In App Purchase, app updates the library
6. After updating the library, the latest issue, in this case 327 - Maggio 2012, is not available for download. It still has "Buy" button as shown in the screenshot 0497
Now the question is: why on my 2 ipads worked well but apple find again the same error?
Where's the problem? I really need help from some Adobe experts, the "Gold support" don't really support me at all... I wrote a long email with all the details and the answer was one line and after my answer they disappeared ...
In this case unpublish folio and change publication date manually from folio producer and then republish it.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

I have an iMac mid 2010. After Disk utilities said the drive was corrupt, I ran the hardware test (extended) 3 times. No problems. I than ran Disk utility again and got 2 messages in red…keys out of order, and ……Volume corrupt, can't be repaired.
I tried to do a system install, but message said…disk can't be changed. Will a complete erase and install fix this ?
Everything is backed-up.

There's hardware and software.
Your drive could physically be in good condition but something has caused the file structure to be messed up (it just happens sometimes). The directory that keep track of files is corrupt. Disk Utility can help determine if that is the issue. In some cases it can repair the problem but it cannot do it to a drive that is being used to boot the system while you are doing that. You have to boot from another drive. Some things DU cannot repair and you need to try a stronger utility such as Diskwarrior.
A failing hard drive (one with mechanical issues) can be a cause of file structure issues but this is by no means always the case. Apart from looking at the SMART diagnosis feature of Disk Utility (and smart isn't totally reliable) there often isn't a way to tell if a drive is failing until it suddenly happens, which is why you need to maintain backups.
In your situation it does sound serious and not just minor directory corruption. You can try erasing (formatting) the drive, You may need to do this if it is really corrupt, in which case there could be underlying physical issues. I use old technology but if you have the patience you can try erasing the drive with the security option of writing zeros once (don't do more unless you are going on a 3 week vacation). This makes the drive not simply assume everything is okay by forcing it try every part of the drive by writing data. If something is gong wrong you may find it marks a lot of bad sectors, or flat out refuses to format. Then you know you need a new drive.

My iMac freezes up shortly after startup.

My iMac freezes up shortly after startup. I can't move the mouse or use the keyboard. I have to manually shut down several times before it would work.

Hi patrickbryant,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iMac is becoming unresponsive when you start up, I recommend trying to boot into Safe Mode as well as using Disk Utility to verify your hard disk. You can find these steps outlined at this link:

VPN auto startup after power cut

Good evening
I have set my server to auto start after a power outage. What I would like is have the vpn startup. So the server is auto logging in as a certain user, and then the user has a auto startup item. The server Admin.
The issue is that the server admin needs to you to bring the window to the foreground in order for the vpn to startup.
Is there another way to do this?

Does it power back on after a power outage? auto-boot only covers the boot after the server powers on or is reset. I don't see an option in OpenBoot for auto power on after a power interruption.

Upgraded to Lion. Numbers is stalling to auto save after every keystroke. Isn't auto save supposed to run in the background?

Upgraded to Lion. Numbers is stalling to auto save after every keystroke. Isn’t auto save supposed to run in the background?

It's supposed to save when the processor isn't triggered by the user. If you type slowly, time between two strokes may be sufficient to allow it to start the save process.

Instantly Viewing Pictures After Taking Them with Image Capture?

Does anyone know how I can use Image Capture to instantly display images after I shoot them with my DSLR (Nikon D40)? My camera is in PTP mode and is recognized by Image Capture, so that's not a problem. What I can't figure out is if there's a way to trigger the downloading of the image as soon as I take it on the camera--by pressing the trigger and not, for example, by executing an Automator workflow. Thanks!
Paul

I fixed the problem. Now it is downloading photos over USB super fast with no problems.
I hope these steps will help other people who have the same problem.
I did the following steps from the previous post's Apple link:
Once you determine that your computer has a USB 2.0 connection, use the following steps to troubleshoot the connection between the device and the computer. Test after each step:
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the device from the dock and connect it to the computer using only the Apple USB to Dock Connector cable.If you have access to additional Apple USB to Dock Connector cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
Additional steps I took:
* Quit every app that was running on the iPad, including some that might try to use the MIDI features over the USB connection.

IMac 2007 model hangs after waking from sleep

Hi there,
I have a 2007 iMac with 2Ghz processor, 4GB RAM running OSX 10.8.2 which has been a fantastic computer up until a few weeks ago. I hardly ever turn my computer off so it falls asleep during the nights. When I wake it though it seems to hang. It doesn't really matter what I try and do it just sits there for ages thinking about what it's going to do. Sometimes for ten minutes before an app will finally open. Once it has settled and decides its going to work its back to its usual self and working fine.
I have tried formatting the hard drive and reinstalling everything, I have also reset the PRAM, and checked in the disk utility that the SMART setting says verified on my HD. I have run software updates so everything is bang up to date, but I'm still having issues. If I reboot and start a fresh it seems to work, but doing this every time it falls asleep seems wrong and unnecessary, plus whilst its hanging it won't let me reboot, I have to manually turn the power off which I don't like doing.
Has anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening? I have not upgraded anything hardware wise, apart from the RAM but that was years ago, so has no impact. Hope I've put enough details here, and thanks in advance for any ideas
Sam

I believe that this is an artifact of waking up from "hibernation" or "deep sleep"
there are several sleep modes:
regular sleep just cut off power to disk and monitor, but keeps the RAM powered.
safe sleep keeps RAM powered but also writes the contents of RAM to disk, just in case power is cut off (usually for laptops where battery can be drained/removed), but normally would wake up from RAM
deep sleep is full on hibernation, RAM is written to disk and the machine is shut down.
check your hibernatemode:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
0 = no hibernation i.e. regular sleep
1 = immediate hibernation i.e. deep sleep
3 = safe sleep
25 = agresive pageout with deep sleep.
therefore it could be that the "sitting and thinking" is your mac reading back the RAM from the hard disk after waking up from deep sleep...
check your hibernatemode.
my first iMac (27" late 2012) exhibited the fan going on full blast upon connecting to power, quiet when the machine was booted, and full blast again when the machine was off.
I am now on my third replacement iMac, the last two are exhibiting identical issue with sleep: the machines will go to sleep and will not wake up, and in addition the power button is disabled, i.e. pressing the power button will not restart the machine.
I am guessing that the SMC crashed, as the only course of recovery is to reset the SMC by removing power, pressing the power button for a while, and attempting to restart (does not work all the time, so I sometimes have to repeat the SMC reset procedure).
after doing some research on the net, I found how to view the hibernate mode, and saw that my machine was set to hibernate mode 5, which is NOT an approved setting, see below.
I used the system pref -> energy saver and clicked restore defaults which restored the hibernatemode to 0.
HOWVER, upon plugging in a powered USB hub, the hibernate mode was automagically reset to 5.
once at hibernate mode 5, putting the machine to sleep manually exhibited the same symptoms, i.e. not wake from sleep and disabled power button.
this was done with an apple care tech on the phone, and he recommended replacing the iMac once again, and sending me a fourth replacement!
overnight I played some more with this
I reset the hibernate mode but this time to 3 and I tried a different USB hub.
hibernate mode stayed at 3 after plugging in the USB hub.
I then created a small shell script to monitor and display the hibernate mode:
function showhibernate() {
while true
do echo -n `date` " ";pmset -g|grep hibernatemode;sleep 10
done
and executed it overnight
this evening after I came home from work, I noticed that the hibernate mode somehow was switched from 3 to 7!?
unfortunately, I did not have the echo `date` on the first version, so I do not know when it was switched from 3 to 7.
however, the machine did wake up from sleep... (so it seems that 7 is not as bad as 5?)
I am guessing that some powered USB hubs cause unexpected changes to the hibernatemode, which in turn cause the SMC to crash, disabling the power button.
why plugging in some powered USB hubs but not others will cause the hibernatemode to switch to 5?
why hibernate mode would automagically switch from 3 to 7?
neither 5 nor 7 are documented in the man page, and the only recommended modes are 0 3 and 25:
We do not recommend modifying hibernation settings. Any changes you make are not supported. If you choose to do so anyway, we recommend using one of these three settings. For your sake and mine, please don't use anything other 0, 3, or 25.
For now I cancled the shipment of the fourth replacement, as this seems to be an issue affecting all iMacs (and a specific USB powered hub), so that a new machine will not resolve the issue...
bottom line, remove the USB hub, and/or try another one.
hope this helps.

Reader XI auto closes after 4 seconds. Won't view PDFs.

I had Reader X but was having problems with using the sign function. I went to check for an update and downloaded XI. When I tried using it, it opened a window for about 5 seconds (promising) and then automatically closed. When I tried uninstalling, a window said that the administrator had blocked the program from being removed.
I tried a System Restore on my computer, attempting to fix X, but that didn't work. When I try downloading anything less than XI, it says I have a more updated function version on my computer. It says the same thing when I try reinstalling XI or fixing XI. It still auto crashed after 4-5 seconds.

Reader is actually covered in a separate forum (this is the Acrobat forum). Some of the issues are similar. Typically you need to be logged in as the administrator (at least with admin priv.) and have anti-virus disabled for the install. To try to go back, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, delete the Acrobat or Reader (in your case) folder, and reboot. Hopefully the install will go smoothly after the reboot. Again, be sure to be logged in as an administrator and have anti-virus disabled. Fixes can be done from the control panel>Programs & Preferences.

BlackBerry Travel app ver 3.1.1.2 auto-exits after a refresh

The app randomly auto-exits after I refresh (via drag down and release) the Upcoming Trips page.
In my usage scenario, after I drag down and release, the app displays "loading..." and then it either redisplays the Upcoming Trips page or it closes the page.
My configuration: Z10STL100-3/10.1.0.2074

Hello eywong,

Reader 11.0.0.3 auto closes after an install

I downloaded Reader 11.0.0.3
When I open it prompts me to accept the license
The license window stays up bu the application closes within a second.
Opening any pdf file post that point allows the application to open... then auto closes after 1 sec
I have installed with Chrome, without Chrome
I have rebooted between installs
Google search led me to Eula.exe - which is the accept license
That has no affect
I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a Lenovo laptop

Two more things things to try...
Can you open Adobe Reader by itself? If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

Imac not auto sleeping

I'm not sure what is keeping my imac from auto sleeping. I have all the programs closed except dashboard and finder and my preferences are set to put the machine to sleep after 10 min. My monitor goes to sleep but not my machine. I am able to put my machine to sleep manually. Any ideas?

Try resetting the SMC, it controls things like sleep.
