Ipad falling asleep when recording in GB

Hi all,
Ive had this happen to me once before but it stopped. I am recording in garageband and my ipad wont stay awake the whole time I am recording. So it falls asleep during the middle of a song and stops recording. Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution? I have restarted my ipad with no luck and have unplugged my blue yeti mic...pretty much done everything I can think to do.

It's not the drive you can hear, it's the fan. The drive runs all the time and is quiet: when you work in GarageBand the demands on the processor heat it up and this causes the fan to kick in. While an external hard drive would be a good idea, to give you more space and take stress off the internal drive, it won't affect this issue as it's the processor which is the cause. However it's harmless enough, the fan should keep the processor to a reasonable temperature.
You could install TemperatureMonitor if you wanted to keep an eye on the processor temperature.

My original iBook Graphite falls asleep when just finished starting up.

OK, first, I was working on my ibook when my cat came up with spilling my coffe on my ibook, then I ran to the apple store and made them fix it at all cost, then they told me that the battery connector was ureparably broken, so I live with my mac always wired on, and changing the date and time every time I disconnect it, now, the real problem is this: I downloaded and installed the os 9.2.1 update for mi ibook, everything all right, then the message of restarting my computer appaered, it restarted all normal, then when it entered the multiple users window it just falls asleep, i can wake it up for about 4 seconds, then, asleep, there's no other symptom, the thingy flashes as normal, etc...
I have tried resseting the PMU several times, but nothing, I dont know what's happening!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!, I don't wanna throw my computer, I love it.
Thanks
P.S.
Sorry if I posted a question already posted, is just that there are like 2,002 questions and posts, so it would take a great time to look at them all.
ibook g3 original Mac OS 9.2.x
ibook g3 original graphite Mac OS 9.2.x

If you have another Mac, hook up your ibook harddrive to that and copy your files and data across and wipe the drive clean then do the updates respectively. Then you could transfer you data from the other mac back and it should work fine. I think it may be an extension conflict, it sounds as though it would originate from a power managment sort of thing. I haven't used OS 9 for more than a day when my ibook shipped until i upgraded to OS X so im sorry if the details are sketchy.
Also is there a repair or diagnostic feature on the OS 9 cd. Because if so, you could boot the cd and attempt a repair from there.

BatteryPower, doesn't fall asleep when battery empty.. keeps running

Hi,
I'm having a weird "problem"/"feauture" (depends on how you see it :P)
When i'm running on batterypower, and the battery reachers 1%, it sticks there
where it normally falls asleep... I can just keep working. This worries me because I don't want to kill the internal battery for when it is asleep :\
I don't remember where I saw it, but in some little app i read that my battery capacity is merely 55mAh (or something like that) That's not much
Could it just be that the battery isn't at 1% at all... but at like +/- 50% ?
Maybe the battery gives wrong information or something... is there a safe reset for it somewhere?
Thanks in advance

Try booting into OS 9 and see if the problem exists there, too. If so, it is probably your reed switch at fault.
Apple says not to run it with the display closed.

Falls asleep while recording

I'm trying to record music with Final Vinyl and iMic but the computer falls asleep in the middle of the recording! I changed the sleep setting to "never" but is still does it! Any idea on how to fix this problem?
Thank you.

Congrats to ya on your Level 4 status!!!!

Mac falls asleep when battery gets down to roughly, half charged

it falls asleep once it gets to this point, and then i wake it up and the charge has gone right down.
Does it need to be calibrated? or is the problem bigger than that?

Most likely you need a replacement. There are known issues with MBP batteries, and an extension of the battery warranty to 2 years, as described on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Go to System Profiler (Apple menu > About this mac > More info) and click on Power. If the Full Charge Capacity is less than 4400 mAh for a 15" or less than 5000 mAh for a 17" MBP, your battery is failing. If your Cycle Count is less than 300, your battery is failing prematurely and Apple will replace it for free. If that's the case, call Apple or visit an Apple Store for a free replacement.

Intel mac mini falling asleep when set to never...

I have a mac mini that is sleeping (blinking light in front) and I don't want it to. I have the energy saver set to never for both and put the hard disk to sleep is not checked. I also installed "caffeine" and set it not sleep, yet the mini still goes to sleep! How to keep it from sleeping?
osx 10.5.5

Do you have the mini connected via ethernet?
If so, this discussion could help:

My 2008 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion now falls asleep regardless of what is or is not happening.

First the good news. My 2008 MacBook Pro, which used to not fall asleep unless forced to do so (lid closed or command issued) now falls asleep. The bad news is that it will fall asleep even if a program is doing something and I'm not physically doing anything. More accurately it will fall asleep when uploading to Box.net, or when downloading map updates for my GPS. It also falls asleep when EyeTV is converting shows, but not when it's recording shows. I have third party apps that can keep it awake, but shouldn't my MBP recognize that something is happening and to not fall asleep?

My iMac G5 randomly falls asleep during use.

A few weeks ago I was using my iMac and suddenly lost control of the cursor, cursor became invisible and computer went to "sleep" (ie; screen went black, "woke up" a few seconds later after moving the mouse). This problem has persisted in all sorts of conditions and uses. Usually the intial episode is followed by another shortly after. The problem happens a lot while streaming video on the internet. However, the computer also falls asleep when using photoshop.
The problem began when the hardrive was nearly full (15 GB left on drive). I cleared out many of the larger files (lossless music files) to gain 87 GB or so. Problem persists. I mostly use this computer for typical web stuff (email, facebook, videos on youtube and the like) and graphic design (Illustrator and Photoshop). Hard drive had never been defragged. I usually restart the computer when problem gets really bad.
I've searched various forums for a solution. Many argue about defragging, some mention OS reinstall, no real clear consensus seems to exist about why the problem occurs or what to do about it. Any ideas?
Specs: Mac OS X, 10.4.11, 2.1 GHz G5, 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM

Your problem sounds more like a heat problem. Try resetting the SMU:
   1. Shut down the computer.
   2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
   3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
   4. Release the power button.
   5. Attach the computers power cable.
   6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
If that doesn't clear things up defragging won't do anything much, the best would be to try an
Archive and Install http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
which will give you s shiny new OS, but keep your prefs and settings. Make sure you select that option when reinstalling.

Mac keeps falling asleep for no reason

So, I have a MacBook pro w/ retina display. It falls asleep when I am using it. All the time. And then makes me re log in. I don't want to shut off sleep mode, as I like it. But it won't stop.
Known issue? Fix? Thank you in advance.

We have no way of see your Mac so you are going to have to tell us
exactly what model of MacBook Pro you have
disk space
amount of RAM
what operating system are you running
any error message you might be seeing

PowerMac won't fall asleep

My G4 will fall asleep when I go Apple>Sleep but not after a set amount of time (As per Energy Saver). There is no new hardware installed, and the sleep feature used to work find. When looking at the activity monitor before sleep there is only the normal processes going on that shouldn't affect the sleep. I have tried deleting the .plist files that control energy saver, but that didn't help either...
So if anyone has any ideas, that'd be great!
Thanks in advance

Hi-
Maybe time for a new PRAM batterry..
Could try a PRAM reset.... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Failing that, try a PMU reset.... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86760
Also, check things in this article....http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303698
Could be network settings, file sharing, hard drive energy settings, etc.

20 seconds to fall asleep

Sorry to post yet another MBP sleep question.
Mine takes approximately 20 seconds to go to sleep each time.
I've tried all of the suggestions. Stopped apps, bluetooth, menu extras, etc.
I've also "pmset -a hibernatemode 0 lidwake 0" and I've renamed /var/vm/sleepimage, just to ensure it's not going into safe sleep mode. Cretainly does feel like safe sleep, although the waking is normal.
I discovered all of this because when I closed my lid it wasn't sleeping, and then when I opened the lid, it would sleep...
Anyway, I would like to get it to sleep in a few seconds instead of 20.

Are you saying that it takes about 20 seconds to fall asleep when you close it or click "sleep" from the Apple menu, or do you mean it falls asleep after 20 seconds of inactivity? I assume you mean the former. I'm pretty sure it takes a little while to fall asleep because the RAM is being paged out to the hard drive, which takes a little while. Supposedly, this is why people can swap batteries while their MBPs are asleep without having to restart them.
If that's what is going on, I don't think there's anything you can do to speed the process up. I guess you could remove some RAM so that there was less to write to the HD (probably the only time less RAM makes your Mac faser).

IMac takes a while to fall asleep.

when I'm ready to walk away from my iMac I either use a hot cornet to start the screen saver and password protect it (screen lock) or I go apple (menu) sleep (password protecting it as well).
I have noticed that recently it takes longer and longer for it to fall asleep.
when I click apple sleep the screen goes black but the screen light is on (I figure it's not gonna fall asleep in < 2 secconds, I don't either) and the fans keep going... and I figure 3 secconds is reasonable.
but it's been taking 10+ secconds.
also wake up time is slow too.
should I try clear my cash? tempfiles? or get a defrag program?
thanks in advance.

I think lots of people will help you get rid of any annoying cash you have!

Seriously, do you have anything that might be running in the background that the system is waiting for or gracefully suspending? Maybe a few external drives that need their buffers cleared first? Things that were not an issue the first times you used the system but may have been introduced. I don't think your Cache is the problem though.

I like to watch tvcatchup or sky go or I player on my iPad while falling asleep, the problem is that the iPad then stays on all night. I would like to find an app that allows me to set a timer for the iPad to switch itself off automatically.

Does such an app exist? Can anyone help me? Thanks

You can try the Sleep Timer.

Can i zoom in when recording video on ipad

How do i zoom in when recording video on an ipad. I am aware of the 3 finger tap to zoom in when watching video but it is the recording of video that i am interested in. If not is there an app to facilitate this?
Many thanks

Well, not directly. With iMovie you can zoom in afterwards, but that is expensive. I am annoyed that it cannot, but to take a regular picture you can do that perfectly.vjust pinch the screen, and it will zoom on camera.

When recording video on my ipad no audio is captured. Help.

When recording videos on my ipad it is not capturing any audio. I have verified the volume is up and that the microphone is functioning but for the life of me cannot figure out what I need to do to capture sound when recording video. Grr... I'm frustrated. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

I am now having the same problem. I did record something about a week ago and that has sound, but when I recorded something today...no sound. The master mute is NOT on and I can hear everything else just fine.
