IMac sleeping automatically more and more frequently with hudge fan noise

A few days when I was watching a DVD my computer started to sleep suddendly.
Of course I desactivated sleeping option in preferences panel and I also tried to reset the nvram without success.
It was getting worse when I tried to play games (on DVD) : every minutes the computer started to sleep (iMac G5 iSight 20")
Now it is not a matter of DVD, my computer often sleeps every 20 seconds even during startup, it is impossible to work. When I restart there are hudge fan noises which are not disappearing after starting.
The only way to work without the imac sleeping every 20 s is to boot under my safe tech tool pro partition.
I tried to repair permissions, reinstall combo update, delete caches with Onyx, ran techtools tests and as I said reset nvram...without result
If I can get some help it would be nice, I am currently backing up all my data in case...

You are dong the right thing by backing up, it sounds as if your power supply is going bad. What did TechTool report?
Have you tried booting from the install disc and verifying/repairing the drive? Try running the Apple Hardware Test as well, but it doesn't always catch things. It does sound like a hardware problem, if none of the suggestions helps, call Apple.

  • After I tried to install Mavericks on my Macbook Air, June 2012 the the drive began to fail, with the appearance at more and more frequent intervals of the spinning beach ball, I had to restart even  after I wiped the drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion

    After I installed Mavericks I could no longer shut my Macbook Air (mid July 2012) down, except by force quit,I was using an Apple Tv screen and Apple wireless keyboard. After that the spinning beachball kept appearing at more and more frequent intervals, even after I had wiped the drive and re-installed Mountain Lion from the Apple site. It is now almost non functional. and just three months out of warranty

    Backup your data as soon as you can.
    MacBook Air computers sold between June 2012 through June 2013 are known to have a high SSD failure rate and Apple is replacing them for free.
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbookair-flashdrive/
    You should maintain current backups.  Given the known failure rate of your SSD that is especially important.

    I have a  iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
    Power the iPad off and on.
    An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

  • Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult

    Optical drive on iMac at work, barely one year old, won't read CD's....disc utilities shows disc unavailable!  Rarely used and out of warranty, what a rip off!!  I have been on MACS since the 80's and things are getting more and more difficult to deal with. Why did it quit after barely being used? Any help from Apple?

    It depends on what you mean by "barely one year old". If the iMac is only a couple of days out of warranty, Apple's been known to make exceptions and extend the warranty, though it's by no means guaranteed. If it's several days or more out of warranty, then Apple will fix it, if it's a hardware problem, but the repair won't be free. This is no different now then it would have been with a Mac purchased back in the 80s.
    Why the drive failed, if indeed it has, is impossible to say. Could have been a static shock, a weak component that failed when power was applied, or a mechanical fault in one of the tiny parts used in optical drives and hard drives that finally broke.
    Regards.

  • Our Imac becomes more and more slow

    There are lots of reasons why a computer might slow down but the most common are 1) too little RAM, 2) the hard drive is too full, and 3) a 'rogue' program is using lots of CPU cycles. The first step to dealing with this problem is not to try 'cleaning' the computer.
    How much hard drive space is free on your computer? Programs need to create temporary files so the computer should have some empty space for them. You should keep something like 10%-15% free. There's a tool in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder called Activity Monitor. Drag it to your Dock so it hand, then reboot your computer and start Activity Monitor.
    The activity Monitor will let you look at what your computer is doing and you'll want to keep your eye on two things: Click on the CPU tab and you can see all the programs your computer is running. In the list you can click on the CPU column to get the list sorted by CPU usage. This is useful because it lets you see if a program is using lots of CPU cycles. If you have an application that is consistently running at 50% or higher, that is probably not good. The second thing you want to watch is RAM. Click on the System Memory tab and you can see all the programs and how much RAM each one is using. But the really important information is next to the pie chart. You'll see VM, Page ins, Page outs, etc. The Page ins number is important - a high number is not good.
    I suggested that you reboot your computer before you started the Activity Monitor. This will have reset Page Ins to 0. Now over the course of an hour, keep referring to the Page ins. If that number remains 0, you have plenty of RAM. The higher it gets, the more you need a Memory upgrade. When you restarted the computer also deleted all the temporary files, so take a look at the free space too. At this point you should see at least 10% free. If not, your drive might be too full.

  • Does it make sense to buy an iPod touch 5th gen. 64 gb with iOS 7 and upgrade it to iOS 8, or spend a few bucks more and buy one with iOS 8 already installed?

    The iOS update us free so I would get the less expensive one.
    If you are getting a used one make sure this is done before you purchase it. Otherwise it may still have the Activatin Lock on

    The proper way to close Firefox is through the File menu "Exit" or the equivalent with the Firefox button.
    More detail in item '''#38 Firefox already running '''
    of
    [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6) (#fx4interface)]
    Firefox already running, to properly shutdown Firefox when closing the last window use File → Exit/Quit (or Firefox button → Exit). Closing Firefox with the [X] in the upper right corner closes the window ("Ctrl+W") but that does not necessarily close Firefox if it has subtasks running. If you want to close and reopen Firefox use the "Restart" within Add-ons if you made a change requiring a restart, or install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/restartless-restart/ Restartless Restart]" ("Ctrl+Alt+R") which will allow you to take Firefox down and restart without having to check the Windows Task Manager to see if Firefox first actually ended.

    The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?

    You hit the target CT.
    It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
    I hope to make some sense here.

  • OS 10.4.11 - MacBook Pro Crashing more and more every day - why?

    Crashes more and more often - several times in a day.
    Hope someone can help. This has happened to some of my friends who just put up their hands and bought one of the newer macs. I've only had this one for a year, and I don't/can't put up the funds all over again. I really really need this to work for school and for my job. Please help!
    I have a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.11.

    I tried booting from the apple cd and doing verify/repair - but that hasn't fixed the crashes. I am not a tech type person and I live VERY far from a apple store. My panic log and other recent logs are pasted below.

    Backup your files. Erase the drive and reinstall the OS. If that doesn't fix it, then it's probably a hardware issue.

  • Why are companies getting more and more difficult to contact via phone?

    I recently had a problem with Fandango, then Roxio, and now Adobe and tried to call someone in the USA with no luck.  I am tired of getting some guy in India (or anyone anywhere else) helping me with products I purchased from a US company with US dollars, to be used in the US!  This crap to save money has GOT to end!  Now, when I ask to be transferred to someone in the Us, they say they cannot do so.  I hang up!  Sirius radio is even worse regarding this by the way!   I also tried emailing these idiots with no response.  Does ANYONE know how to contact a US customer service rep?  This country is going down the toilet, just like George Carlin said it would!
    Thanks!

    This is something that has been bothering me more and more as time moves forward.  
    The two biggest companies that I call for support, VMware and SonicWALL, have transitioned to this model.  While it has been going on for a while, the time "wasted" waiting for call backs, not being able to move away from my desk for hours on end, and not being able to get a definitive time for the call backs is hampering my ability to do my job.  I can't even start another support call with another vendor in fear of missing a call back.
    Anyone else notice this trend with other vendors?

  • Mail slowly eats more and more Real Memory until it's super sluggish

    My Mail had been giving me lots of problems.
    Basically it is fine when I open it and starts to become more and more slow and unresponsive the longer I have it open. I ultimately have to quit, and it always has to be a force quite because it just gets jammed.
    I started looking at Activity Monitor and have noticed that when I first run it, it uses about 150 megs of Real Memory. (I have 4gigs). Over the course of 2 hours, the Real Memory used creeps upwards and upwards, until it's over a GIG. The performance just gets worse and worse. The MB Pro's fans start whizzing away.
    Anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to stop it?
    Thanks so much
    Scott

    Found a post in another Forum which (so far) seems to have fixed my problem:
    "I spent some time on the phone with Apple tech support today. They were very helpful and appeared to have solved the problem. They had me go to iSync in the applications directory, go the Preferences and then click on Reset Sync History. First they had me log out of MobileMe, but not sure that was important. I logged back in to MobileMe. I have now been using my Mac for an hour now with no recurrance of the safarisyncclient".
    Here's hoping.

  • [SOLVED] Losing more and more space everyday

    Hello,
    During around 2 weeks I have a really strange problem: I'm loosing more and more free space everyday, and I can't figure what cause that.
    The system is installed on a 12GB ext4 partition. My home is on it but as I move data to another partition something else tooks the free space; I used to have 4GB of data inside home, including all hidden folders, now it's only 1.5GB and the next big folder is the "windows" folder of wine.
    What should I use to monitor if a file is increasing or all write operations of my applications?
    Thanks.
    Edit: my cache folder is empty and I removed the .thumbnails folder.

    Which is now solved by doing some strange manipulations (this was not the first time I had to do it, but I had forgotten it).
    @DSpider: I changed my logrotate.conf like in your post, so without doing anything else I should recover free space in 2 weeks?

  • How to make a text becoming more and more visible?

    Maybe I didn't use google well, but I didn't find anything in the internet what could solve my question.
    I basically want to work with a white background, where a text is on which becomes more and more visible the more it comes closer to the bottom. The tricky thing is, it's for a website, so it has to be responsive for smartphones or tablets for example (first idea: put the white background layer to the front like it makes the text behind it more and more visible/invisible?). Any ideas how to solve that? Would be so great to know.

    I'm not sure what it means to "be responsive for smartphones or tablets"...  People put complex graphics on those things all the time.  They have unprecedented power.
    Photoshop can help you do what you're describing.  What you want is no more complex than putting a gradient mask on a layer so as to create partial transparency.  You could have fading text (as a graphic) or a fading solid color fill that would overlay text rendered by a browser.
    Just some graphic ideas...
    Save as a PNG-24 to get partial transparency that a browser can render.
