IPad puts Apple TV to sleep when showing Keynote

I have an iPad 2 (WiFi) running iOS 6 and the latest version of Keynote. I connect the iPad to my Apple TV 2 via Airplay. When using Keynote the display will go into the Screen Saver Mode after about 5 minutes. It only hapens when I am playing the Keynote presentation. If I am editing the presentation the display works properly.
I have used other iPads with this Apple TV. The ones running iOS5 work fine. The same issue appears when I use other iPads runnning iOS6.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric

Go to settings on the Apple TV.
Change Screen Saver from 5 minutes to a greater number, or you can turn off the screen saver function.
Best,
IW

This is so basic: How do you turn off Apple TV, or do you just exit by changing the Input back to regular TV? When I put Apple TV to sleep, I had to log in again, a very tedious process with that awful "announcer" for the hearing impaired (how to remove?)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Apple TV will put itself to sleep. I'm not sure what you needed to log into again, but you shouldn't have to. Do you have a little more detail about what happens.

10.8.5 on MacPro5,1 - disabling "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" doesn't work any more

I have always had "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" disabled in the Energy Saver section of System Preferences, but since upgrading to 10.8.5 this setting is no longer obeyed... I can distinctly hear the sound of my hard drives winding down and winding back up *very* often, and toggling the setting has no effect...
There's other threads about hard disk sleep issues with 10.8.5 and it seems this is another one to add to the list... Definitely needs to be addressed because my hard drives are powering up & down quite a lot even when the system is sitting idle, which is gonna create a lot of unnecessary mechanical wear on those drives...

Unfortunately, this is a known bug that Apple is working on.
I submitted feedback regarding this issue and surprisingly received a couple of phone calls from Apple support about this issue. I ran through several questions with the tech and advised him that I temporarily resolved the issue by restoring from a saved 10.8.4 installation. So, for the moment, everything is working as it should. The Apple tech asked if I would be willing to re-install 10.8.5 and provide some logs, but I declined since everything is back to normal now.
As a side note, it has been said on other forums, the issue can be temporarily "fixed" by setting your monitor to never go to sleep and stay on, which ironically causes your hard disks to "never" sleep either. I also provided this bit of info to the Apple tech in hopes of resolving this.

Putting iMac display to sleep, when using TV as a screen.

I have just connected my iMac to my 42" Panasonic 1080p TV, the connection was easy and is working fine. My questions relates to putting the iMac display to sleep when using the TV as a monitor, if I am watching You Tube, Sky Player or a DVD, I intend to use my TV as the monitor. Is it possible for the iMac to puts its display to sleep, whilst leaving the TV on. I played around with this today, however was unable to manage this.
Regards Craig

Hi Craig
There is no way to independently sleep either the iMac's Display or an attached Display/TV. However if in the Display Arrangement Preferences you set the attached Display or TV to be the Main Display and turn Mirroring Off, then FrontRow and the Full Screen Mode app's like, DVD player, QuickTimePlayer, etc. will black out the unused iMac display.

Cannot put G4 powermac to sleep when using Logic pro 6

Hi There,
Not sure if anyone can provide any help/suggestions, but I keep encountering the same, which is that when I using Emagic Logic 6 and want to put the computer to sleep. It puts the screen to sleep but not the hard drive, as I can hear the fan going around as per usual, but after that I cannot get the screen to come back on and it appears that the system has crashed as nothing I do via the keyboard or mouse produces any response and I have to manually re-start computer by holding down the power button.
I am able to put the computer to sleep otherwise, but for some reason not in Logic at the moment!
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks for responding Eriksimon and I shall take heed.

Put Mountain Lion to sleep when I close lid

Can anyone help me put ML to sleep when i close the display lid? I've benn hunting google and ended up with searchterm <mac lion sleep "close lid" -external -wake -battery -airplay> which gave me nothing.
What I need is: wifi off, disk activity off, roaming network connections off, geo Location off, internal microphone off ...and so on. You are probably thinking "Why not press power button and click Sleep or Shut Down?!?"
Well, first of all i'm stubborn, secondly I want to be able control, and monitor, my computers activity/network communikations, and thirdly force of habit, I close lid and walk away.
Is it even possible in Mountain Lion? Close lid = actual sleep?

You can put your Macbook on deep sleep (or hibernate mode) instead of putting it in sleep mode when the lid is closed.
Even in sleep mode, the memory is running in the background to perform some basic operations.
But deep sleep would put your MacBooks into a complete shutdown mode and resume when you turn it back on.
Terminal copy and paste:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25
This would prompt you to enter your password.
This would enable the Deep Sleep mode in MacBooks.
Press the Power button each time you want to wake your Mac from deep sleep.
The default is: pmset -a hibernatemode 3

Put hard disk to sleep when possible

Hi, is there any other reason to do this besides saving energy? Does it extend the life of the disk? Or shorten it for that matter with the extra spin-ups/downs?
Thanks,
Dave

Hard drives have a recommended maximum number of Start/Stop Cycles. For the Raptor it's 20,000. Some other drives are rated at 50,000.

Mavericks 10.9-10.9.1 bug/issue/problem: external drives connected through thunderbolt or firewire are not put to sleep when iMac goes to sleep

Previous to Mavericks (10.9 - 10.9.1) I've had no issues with external firewire or thunderbolt connected drives to be put to sleep. However, since Mavericks all of my external drives are not put to sleep when my iMac, or Mac Pro go to sleep.
How can a company such as Apple, pushing people to have external devices like hard drives, is not on top of fixing this issue? Apple pushed for firewire and thunderbolt, thus All external drives I've owned are firewire. Because of speed. I bought thunderbolt adapters for firewire, and before Mavericks all worked great. Now that we have 10.9.1 update, this is still an issue!
I'm aware of the temporary solution of connecting the drive through USB to make it work, this is not a solution, but a hack.
Please let Apple know that this is a known issue, and there should be a fix for it. Everyone's data depends on it! Not only current external backups, but also external sensitive hard drives we rely on. Currently, the following makes are experiencing this issue: Lacie, OWC (Elite Pro), WD, Promise, Seagate, Toshiba, G-Drive.

Same 2 issues with 10.9.3:
External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down when Mac goes to sleep.
also
External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down for inactivity despite “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” is checked in energy saver.
This has been going on since the launch of Mavericks and no solution found yet.

"Put harddisks to sleep when possible" vs longer HDD life?

Something I've been pondering:
I can save battery by telling the computer to put the harddisk to sleep when possible, but am I sacrificing HDD life span by spinning it up and down often?

I doubt that you are making much of a difference in either respect. It probably takes less energy to keep an already spinning disc spinning than it does to start it spinning again, if the interval is short. If it's longer, putting the disk to sleep probably does save a little energy, and the strain on the drive's mechanical parts will be less than if it's spinning down and back up again every five minutes.

Not green: No sleep when using integrated card reader and hub in Dell 2709

Hello,
here's a little weird sleep and wake-up problem with a Mac Mini.
I hooked up a Mac Mini Mid 2010 model to a Dell 2709 monitor which has an integrated and self-powered card reader built in and this is connected by USB to the Mac. To the mac this appears correctly as a usb self-powered hub. I am using a so called master/slave power socket to put every periphal to sleep when the Mac enters sleep (stand by) mode. The Mac itself plugs into the Master socket and when turned on it also switches on the Slave sockets, and the monitor. Shutdwon and sleep turns the slaves off. This works good until the monitor USB hub is connected to the Mac. Then, when the Mac enters sleep state, it wakes itself up again within 1-2 seconds. The wake-up reason seems to be the USB hub from the monitor, because the hub looses power due to the master/slave power panel and disconnects from USB, which in turn wakes the Mac up again.
Now, i got also a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 installed on the same machine. To my surprise this works as expected. It enters sleep state (called StandBy Mode in Windows) without wakening up again immediately by itself. I assume the reason for this different behaviour is just the different approach from the two OS's. OS X wakes up even when disconnecting USB gear, but Windows does not.
It took some hours to find out this. Apparently other users in this forum also have this problem in this particular scenario, like here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11031781&#11031781
Unfortunately the topic is unanswered and archived.
What would solve this problem is of course to change the power connection for the monitor in a way that the integrated USB stays powered. That would be pragmatic but not be "green".
Another approach would be to change the behaviour of the Mac to not wake up when a USB device is disconnected - which makes no sense to me personally at all. I'm new to OS X and didn't found any command to achieve this.
Would be nice to make real power saving working again.

Hi David,
thanks for your reply. You mentioned that the hub in the monitor is sending some sort of signal when powered down and this causes the wake up. Good idea. To inspect this i played around a bit with some other different USB gear on the same Mac.
I discovered that any&every device that is disconnected by just unplugging it from the sleeping Mac Mini wakes the computer up again.
This example from the kernel log shows a connected Canon ip4000 printer:
Sep 16 00:26:52 MacMini2010 kernel[0]: AFPSleepWakeHandler: going to sleep

Sep 16 00:27:02 MacMini2010 kernel[0]: AFPSleepWakeHandler: waking up
OK, this device is also self-powered. But what about a thumb drive?
The same can be reproduced with USB thumb drives (all other USB devices were unplugged before, the Mini was sent to sleep via the power button):
Sep 16 18:16:29 MacMini2010 kernel[0]: Ethernet [AppleBCM5701Ethernet]: Link down on en0

Sep 16 18:16:43 MacMini2010 kernel[0]: The USB device Cruzer Crossfire (Port 1 of Hub at 0x24000000) may have caused a wake by being disconnected
So, either:
- OS X or the Firmware can not distinguish between connect and disconnect and wakes up the computer at both events. The log above shows the opposite in the last line.
or:
- This behaviour is by design. (But makes no sense for non-block-level devices. Unplugging = Wake-Up?)
or:
- Something with EFI ?
Now i am poking in the dark.
The Unibody-Mini is really a light-sleeper...

Why am I unable to connect to my airport whenever I put my computer to sleep while the time machine is backing up?

Ever since I installed Lion (version 10.7), I am unable to reconnected to my Time Capsule and get on the internet after I put my computer to sleep and then wake it back up. This doesn't happen all the time -- just when I put my computer to sleep when Time Machine is backing up. If I put my computer to sleep when it's not backing up, it's fine. If it is backing up though, when I wake my computer up again, it is unable to reconnect to the Time Capsule to allow me to use the internet. I have to wake the machine up, click on "Stop Backing Up", wait 30-60 seconds, click "Turn Wi-fi off", wait another 30 seconds, turn it back on and then I am fine. If I just turn wifi off and on without stopping the backup, it doesn't work and I am still unable to connect to the internet. I currently have 10.7.1 but it still has the same bug. 10.6.x did not have this bug. Other than "don't put your computer to sleep when Time Machine is backing up," any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In this case, that hint may help.
According to Apple support, some configuration files may get damaged or corrupt by time, after updates or upgrades and should get deleted ocasionally.
OK ... switch off wifi on the machine.
Then go on and delete the files mentioned below.
You will find the files on your system drive (not your home folder) as follow:
/library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.accounts.plist
/library/preferences/com.apple.preferences.sharing.plist
/library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/library/preferences/SstemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
If there are files in this folders with the same name but additional .orig at the end, delete them too.
It is possible that not all files are on your system. That will be ok.
The files will get newly created by system on reboot.
For that reboot the machine.
Join your wireless again.
If you are using Lion, the Library is hidden. You have to use (menu bar) "go to" -> "go to folder" on finder to access them.
If the problem (unlikely) persists, report back here.

IPod Photo refuses to sleep when hard drive is spinning

I am own an iPod Photo 60GB running the iPod Software 1.2 (for iPod with color display).
I cannot turn my iPod Photo 60GB off/put it into sleep mode while the hard drive is being accessed or spinning. This normally means that some music is playing, but it also can happen when a track is paused. This issue occurs for both ways to put an iPod into sleep mode: 1)"Sleep" from the menu, or 2)holding the play/pause button for a few seconds. Attempting either of these methods of turning my iPod off/putting it to sleep while the hard drive is spinning results in the iPod NOT going to sleep. When I select the "Sleep" item from the menu, I can hear the "click" sound, so I know the selection of that menu item is being detected by my iPod.
Generally speaking, this issue happens when I have just removed my iPod from being docked with my computer, and it starts playing a track because I hit the play button accidentally while disconnecting the iPod. Usally the first thing I want to do is put the iPod to sleep, because I am going somewhere and don't want to use that battery when I'm not listening to it.
My workaround: If I select a track at the end of an album/playlist, and then fast forward to the end of that track so that NO music/sound is playing on my iPod Photo 60GB, and the hard drive is not spinning, then I am able to use the "Sleep" menu item or the hold the play/pause button for a few seconds method. Also, if I let the track play for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute or two until the the hard drive is not spinning anymore, then I am able to put my iPod to sleep. But shouldn't the sleep feature work immediately? None of Apple's documentation or TIL articles suggest otherwise.
This problem is not related to the hold switch being in the "hold" position, as I am trying all of this with the hold switch NOT in the "hold" position. Also, it is not related to the battery power being low, as it happens with a full charge.
I have read threads with a similar issue to mine, however the clarification needs to be made that this "bug", as I'll call it, only occurs when the hard drive is spinning/being accessed. Many people have mentioned troubles with putting their iPod to sleep while listening to a Podcast. This makes sense because some Podcasts are too large to fit into the iPod's RAM cache, and so the hard drive is accessing the Podcast through it's entire length. None of these threads have any useful input from Apple Computer support other than the suggestion of resetting the iPod or restoring the iPod's software. In both cases, the suggested solution DOES NOT fix the problem permanently.
With the hopes that because ALL iPods that Apple sells currently will most likely have this problem, by starting a "new", more detailed thread on this issue, perhaps Apple will get this message to a higher level and actually do something about it.
I would highly suggest if you have an iPod Photo (any size) or one of the "new" color iPod's, that you try seeing if you can put your iPod to sleep when your hard drive is being accessed, and if not - Please Post on this Thread. The more posts that come up on a thread, the more likely that someone with Apple will notice.
Thanks for reading...

To elaborate more on what Rob said. Since the iPod is a hard drive based device(similar to your computer) the disc inside spins and there is a needle to read the data.
What you are suggusting would be like yanking the power cord out of your computer in mid install of something, the chance of data lose is there and if happened enough bad sectors can arise. Should you do that? No, Would you do it? In most cases not.
A bad sector would in most causes make the ipod freeze when accessing it or make it fail its disk check and requiring replacement.

Imac goes to sleep when downloading and errors occur

I have a Imac and whenever i download largish programs from the appstore which take a little while to download, the Imac goes into sleep mode and when i restart the imac, the download has stopped and says an error has occurred. I then have to restart it and resign in with my apple id and it start again.
This isn't a massive issue on programmes which take up to 30 inutes but larger programs which take a few hours to download (I am in a area with relatively low broadband speed) I cant leave it to download and go and do somehting else or leave it over night.
Does anyone know how to turn off the auto-sleep mode and leave it on conctantly until turned off ?
Thanks

IMac 27 Keeps Putting My Drives To Sleep

3.4 i7
16G Ram
Fusion Drive
My internal drive keeps going to sleep, even though I do not have the option checked in Energy Saver to "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Even external drives seem to be put to sleep after awhile.
I'm using Mavericks 10.9.2
Is there something I need to do to resume normal behavior?
Thanks
Tom

I'm sorry to hear that didn't work. When you press the power button do you get a popup giving you a choice of Sleep, Restart, or Shut Down, or does it just go off? If the latter, you may want to try resetting the SMU & Open Firmware.
This article describes resetting the SMU on an iMac G5: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301733
After resetting the SMU, reset Open Firmware by turning on the machine & immediately pressing CmdOption+OF and holding them down until you get a black screen with some text. At the prompt, enter (without quotes) "reset-nvram", then press Return. It should say OK and go to the next line. Now enter "reset-all"; when you press Return, the machine will restart. (FYI... this only resets hardware settings & has no effect on your data.)

Configure drives to sleep when not in use

I’ve been running my NMH300 with two Seagate 1.5TB drives for about a week and it seems the drives keep spinning 24/7. Is there a way to configure the hub to put the drives to sleep when not reading/writing? The drives are very hot all the time and I’m afraid they will burn out prematurely.

Heat is my problem too. I don't like the mediahub is treating my HD.
In my PCs all HDs are in front of fan/fans while in the MH there is a thermostat.
That's why i will not set it up as Raid 1, putting your eggs in one basket.
My data is more important than the MH.
My solution.
1. I tape 3.5"x3.5" PC fan at the back right on top of the interior fan
using double sided foam.
2. Seal the gap between the fan and MH with tape.
3. Cut the fan cord and connect a 12v DC adaptor.
That's it. My HDs are running cool now.
The interior fan does not turn when the exterior fan is on
which is alright, it's a certain back up just in case the exterior fails
then the interior will kick in "when it reaches a certain temperature"
I got 2-1TB WD Black Caviar which generates a lot of heat.
It's all about the data. By the way Linksys does make HD that is why
they don't know how to protect one.
