IQ 790 want go to sleep mode

Hp Touvhsmart PC IQ790 UK want go to sleep mode, any help?

When a pc won't go into sleep mode, it's usually because a piece of the hardware is set to wakeup.  You need to go into Device Manager, look at all the properties on everything like the monitor, adapters, everything, find the checkmarks for wakeup and just uncheck them.  That's usually the problem.  Also, go into Scheduled Tasks on your pc and see if something is scheduled by some software to perform an action at a certain time.  This, too, can keep it awake.

  • Mac mini keeps entering sleep mode

    Hi. I have a Mac mini that has this annoying problem where it keeps
    wanting to enter sleep mode. This problem seemed intermittent at first.
    What I notice is that my mini would enter sleep mode whenever I try to
    encode mp3. This seems reproducible. When it enters sleep mode,
    I can wake it up by pressing the power button. However, it goes back
    in sleep mode after a couple seconds after it wakes up. The only way
    I can get it out of sleep mode is to quit iTunes and eject the audio
    CD.
    Things I've tried:
    Energy Saver settings: Computer sleeps after 3 hours inactivity,
    display sleeps after 3 hours inactivity, unchecked "Put hard disk(s)
    to sleep when possible". I tried disabling energy save. No luck.
    I also tried to uncheck "Allow Nap" box in the Processor settings.
    However, it always checks this after a reboot.
    If I insert a DVD movie, I can watch it w/o any interruption.
    Anyone else seen this problem? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Carl. I was unable to find com.apple.AutoWake.plist in my
    system. Deleting com.apple.PowerManagement.plist didn't
    help.
    I decided to try your open firmware instructions. I like the
    boot loader. It reminds me of the Sun's boot monitor.
    I did the reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all. It didn't
    help though.
    I don't think it is my power supply, either. The reason why I
    don't think this is the problem is I can watch DVD and listen
    to audio CD just fine. My sleep problem would only occur
    when I try to rip an audio CD. I can assure you that I draw
    plenty of power just playing a DVD movie.
    My guess is I have a power management configuration
    issue or a hardware problem. Since this has a Unix core
    underneath, I started poking around in the usual places
    for log files. I found the familiar /var/log and stumbled
    on system.log. Looking at the file, I found something
    that caught my eye.
    Aug 17 01:06:19 Jim-Fridlunds-Computer kernel[0]: Power Management received emergency overtemp signal. Going to sleep.
    Doing a 'grep overtemp system.log', I got the following:
    Aug 17 01:04:13 Jim-Fridlunds-Computer kernel[0]: Power Management received emergency overtemp signal. Going to sleep.

    If you look at the time stamp, you'll see that each event
    is only a few seconds apart. This matches with what
    I was seeing. Machine goes to sleep. I press the power
    button and it wakes up and goes back to sleep. One
    big endless cycle. The only way I managed to get out
    of it is to quit iTunes and to eject the CD.
    Yes, I did install the Xcode 2 development kit that came
    with the Mini MAC OSX setup. I eventually want to write
    software for the Mac. So, I most likely installed the
    CHUD tools package that you had mentioned.
    I think the equivalent command line command for
    disabling the nap feature is 'hwprefs -v cpu_nap=false'.
    When I do that, I get the overtemp event and my mini
    goes to sleep. Zzz.
    In any case, my mini seems to be detecting false overtemp
    condition. Either I have a bad temp sensor or my power
    management overtemp threshold is set way too low. It's
    possible encoding audio CDs is enough to heat up the
    PPC core, but it happens way too fast. I'm thinking my
    temperature sensors are not set correctly. If anyone has
    schematics for the mini, it would most likely be a Dallas
    temp sensor chip. I'm not ready to open up my mini yet
    since it is still under warranty. I'll take it in the Apple
    store in Walnut Creek this weekend.
    Anyway, thank you guys for all your help. I found my
    experience on this forum to be quite pleasant. People
    here are very helpful.

  • Instant Shut-off instead of Sleep Mode

    My Mac Pro recently started to instantly shut-off when I want to enter Sleep Mode manually. It also doesn't enter Sleep mode per Energy Saver Preferences any more.
    I am a bit at a loss at what could cause this behavior. I have diligently installed all software Apple updates.
    Anybody has encounter such problem before and know how to fix it?

    I tried just about everything including the SMC Reset. I got a copy of the Service Repair Manual and I performed the following test:
    System Reset
    Mac Pro (Early 2008) has a system reset switch on the logic board that may be used to restart
    the system while it is powered up. This switch can be used to determine if a computer that
    won’t consistently boot from a cold start has power supply issues. Follow these steps to reset the
    system:
    1. With the computer powered up, press the SYS_RST switch located in the upper right-hand
    corner of the logic board. To press the switch, use the nylon probe tool (Apple part number
    922-5065).
    2. If the computer boots after you press the SYS_RST switch, try shutting the computer off and
    restarting by pressing the front power button. If the computer restarts when you press the
    SYS_RST switch but not from a cold start, the power supply may need to be replaced.

  • I got a Macbook Air. My system language is russian but the login password is english. I pu the laptop into sleep mode, then wanted to log in again, but the language seems to have switched to russian, there's no language change button! How do I log in now?

    Severia,
    I tried your solution, but it did not work with my laptop. After I restart the laptop, the language does not change and I cannot type the password in English language. Do you have any other suggestion?
    Thank you.

  • Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

    Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock?
    I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
    Any App or plug-in that does that?
    Many thanks
    Kevin

    Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
    1.  In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
    2.  Export the playlist (as .m3u works well).  Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
    3.  In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
    4.  Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
    5.  For "alarm" select Open File.
    6.  Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open.  It will probably be some default entry (like iCal).  Click on it will allow you to select "other."  Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
    Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time.  You don't need to keep iCal running.  If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do.  Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button.  Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

  • Iphone 4 battery draining while in sleep mode

    I have noticed over the past few days that after putting my iphone 4 into *sleep mode* and not using it for several hours that the battery percentage is significantly lower after powering it back up. I first became aware of this after waking up to find my battery was at 50% (8 hours before I went to sleep it was 90%). Just today I was using my phone and the battery was at exactly 85%, I turn it off and an hour later I check the battery at its at 77%!!! I then go for a 45min run (leaving the phone at the house) and coming back I see that it is at 73%.
    I don't know if this is a battery issue or a problem with the wifi/3g working when the phone is in sleep mode. My parents both have the 3GS and they do not experience this with their phones.
    I have had this phone for 2 weeks and I don't want to have to send it back so please tell me this is a software/settings problem and not with the hardware!!
    I haven't changed any settings or downloaded any apps since I got the phone (Except for the free case app). I did however sync my email address with the phone so it may be a problem with that I don't know.
    I am also on the original firmware that came with the iPhone 4 I have not updated that yet.

    I think it had something to do with the signal being weak. I normally keep my phone in the basement where my computer is and often there is only 1 bar or no service at all. In order to make contact with the cell phone tower the phone has to work harder therefore using more battery. I put the phone upstairs in my room last night where the is better AT&T signal and my battery has not dropped off at all.
    That could be the issue. Your phone is only getting 1 signal or no service, and is trying to work hard trying to find good service in your basement. Try setting the phone on the first floor where you get good signal and see if that fixes your battery issue,.

  • Satellite P200D-11R sound and graphics crash after waking up from sleep mode

    Hi,
    I am wondering if anyone here has had similar experiences to mine (below) or can offer any solutions.
    I have upgraded my P200D-11R OS to Vista 64 Ultimate to take advantage of the extra performance. I also add that the BIOS has already been updated to version 1.4.
    Well, everything works fine with the standard 2Gig of RAM which the laptop was supplied with originally, however, when I upgrade the RAM to 4Gig (2 x 2GB Samsung 667mHz modules), sound and graphics problems appear every time the machine is brought back from sleep mode.
    The sound card makes a very laud fuzzy noise every time it wants to play a sound and the graphics produce lots of horizontal lines on the screen. I then just have to restart the machine which means loosing all my unsaved work.
    Everything works fine as long as the machine does not enter sleep mode. I have currently disabled the sleep mode to prevent the machine from entering it but I am finding life very hard without it.
    I am very surprised and also disappointed at the fact that Toshiba did not test these machines with Vista 64 Ultimate and 4Gig of RAM!
    Extra info:
    The memory is the same Samsung type as the 1Gig modules supplied by Toshiba originally with the machine, and the part number Toshiba recommends.
    I have tried installing other (more recent) device drivers by Realtek and ATI without any improvements.
    The memory modules pass all tests and are not defective. They have also been tested on my friends Dell notebook with no problems even in sleep mode.
    I have installed my friends Dell 2Gig memory modules in my P200D and they too produce exactly the same results with post-sleep crashes.
    My thoughts are that this must be another BIOS issue unless anyone can shed some light on the issue from another angle.
    Please help! Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Sascha
    Since you are running a Vista 32bit version, the upper limit of the memory recocnised by the machine is 3.2gb which is the maximum a 32bit operating system can address and use. The diffrence here is that I also upgraded my OS to Vista Ultimate 64bit to get yet better performance out of the 64bit dual AMD processor.
    3.2gb of RAM on 32bit OS does not necessarily increase the performance. However, it keeps the performance stable when you open many more programs at the same time since the machine has more RAM to play with before staring to use the much slower hard drive as operating memory (Page File), to keep all thoes open programs running.
    A 64bit OS such as Vista Ultimate 64, recognises the whole 4gb of RAM and much more (for instance, 8gb with 2 x 4gb RAM modules). The 64bit OS itself would generally consume more RAM to start with, however, with 4gb I found the general performance to be much better. Going back to the problem however, my P200D-11R with Ultimate 64 and 4gb RAM refuses to wake up from sleep mode gracefully and the graphics and sound crash every time, forcing me to restart.
    My feelings at present is that eventhough your machine may be slightly different, I bet if you upgrade your OS to 64bit, the machine will start recognising all of the 4gb of RAM and post-sleep crashes will start to appear!

  • My Macbook Pro won't turn on properly.  It was perfectly fine when it went into sleep mode earlier on today, please help?

    Closed the lid earlier on today and my macbook pro went into sleep mode.  about 12 hours later i opened it and the battery was dead.  Plugged the battery charger in and pressed the power button.  It boots up, disc drive works and it sounds the same as it would working perfectly fine.  Keyboard works and there is noise coming from the laptop when i press certain buttons like the volume etc but the screen isnt working.  Unable to enter FireWire targert disc mode to fix the sleep mode files which is what i think is wrong with it but i don't have a FireWire and i don't really want to be playing around with my macbook's internal files incase i accidentally touched the wrong thing.  Does anyone know what could be wrong?  Should i just take it to get repaired and let a specialist repair it?  Anything i should know about/be doing/not doing?

    Plug it into a power oulet & then reset your SMC:

  • I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode.  If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.  I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

    I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode.  If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
    I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
    I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
    Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

    Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
    For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
    To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
    At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
    Good luck!

  • Sending a bug report on the OS and a sleep mode problem.

    I find the bug button in Safari really convenient for sending Apple bug reports. And when other applications crash, you usually get an error dialog with a button to send a bug report. But sometimes problems arise that require reporting, but which don't fall in either of these categories. It would be very handy to have a bug "button" for the OS, or perhaps just a menu selection in the Finder menu bar that invokes a bug report dialog box. I know you can dig around and find the URL for Apple's bug report web page, but I am always forgetting it -- I suppose I could just bookmark it, but then I'd just have to dig around in all the bookmarks to find it. Better would be a utility built-in to the OS for sending bug reports (like Safari's). It could also automatically transfer necessary info about the OS rev and such.
    The problem I had was this. I have a script that puts my iMac to sleep. I put the script alias on the task bar and a single click puts the computer to sleep (easier than using the menu). Unfortunately, I sometimes click it by mistake when I am trying to click an adjacent icon in the task bar, and the Mac starts going through its cycle to enter sleep mode and is impervious to anything I do to try and cancel it. I tried pressing the space bar continuously to prevent it from going to sleep, but that did not work. Worse, when it went to sleep and I woke it up again, the task bar would not appear, clicking on app windows did not activate them, Finder menus could not be selected, etc. The cursor would move, but I could not do anything else. (I wish now I had noted if the clock in the menu bar was still advancing, but I didn't think to do that.) I powered down the iMac from the power key and rebooted. Things are working fine now.
    I wanted to send a bug report on this, but realized that unlike Safari, there was no button or menu selection for doing that. So here I am.
    Any suggestions are welcome.
    TIA,
    Drake

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
    1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1. 
    Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1? 
    If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
    Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
    2)  I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.  I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch.  The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch.  But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
    I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro.  But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID.  I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF.  How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
    3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
    Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out.  I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    - Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
    - Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
    - I have no idea for the Safari question

  • Early 2008 iMac (8,1) randomly goes into sleep mode

    Hey,
    My early 2008 iMac (8,1) on 10.8.2 goes into sleep mode by itself. I've played around in Energy Saver, tried resetting SMC, NVRAM, replaced HDD, reformatted HDD, installed smcFanControl, reinstalled Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion. None of that worked. Took it to the Genius bar, performed some diagnostics tests and they said everything worked properly. Does anybody have the same problem? I can still use the computer for general computer use (light web surfing and e-mailing), but it seems to go into sleep mode when I have a lot of applications open and especially when watching videos. I've tried researching this problem, but I've haven't found a definitive answer. Right now, the Genius that I've been talking to thinks it may be the RAM. I'm waiting on new shipments of test RAM to arrive at the Apple Store for him to properly diagnose.
    Thanks,
    Jason
    iMac (8,1)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2x2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
    1TB 7200 RPM SATA ST1000DM003-1CH162
    If you want to read the whole time line, I've included it here. I apologize for it being so long.
    At first I was running Lion (10.7.5) and the computer would enter sleep mode whenever I was doing anything with video. For example, watching YouTube videos and chatting on FaceTime. And funny enough, I distinctly remember watching a bunch of movies with VLC and the computer did not go to sleep (Although, this is not true anymore). I could wake the computer up and use it, however within a few minutes the computer would re-enter sleep mode. The computer seemed fine and I could access all of my files. Tried resetting SMC and it did not resolve the issue.
    I made a Genius appointment to see if they were familiar with the issue. The iMac passed the in-store diagnostics test; it said all the components were functioning properly. He told me to bring it home to do a fresh re-install of my OS and then run my computer to see if the problem persisted. I took it home and reformatted my HDD with a 35-pass erase, re-installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and declined to transfer any backups from Time Machine. I was using a fresh system and sure enough, the problem persited. Tried doing the same thing again but with Lion (10.7.5) and still no luck. So I made another appointment and it passed the in-store diagnostics test again. I let them keep the computer for a 24-hour diagnostics test. They told me they would diagnose my computer with the OS on my HDD as well as a copy of OS that the Apple store deemed 'good' on an external HDD. The Genius called me and told me that my HDD failed their 24-hour diagnostics test and recommended I replace it. I initially had a 750 GB HDD, and the Apple Store could only offer me a 500 GB HDD ($200). I opted to take my computer to Carbon Computing, an authorized dealer in Toronto, to have a 1 TB Seagate HDD ($170) installed with no OS on it. I brought it home, performed another 35-pass erase and installed Snow Leopard. Problem still persisted. Repeated with Lion, still unsuccessful. Looking back, I was so excited that I just had to replace the HDD to fix the problem, I forgot to ask the guy if he could recreate the issue.
    I began to suspect that it was a heating issue. So I installed Temperature Monitor and smcFanControl, and cleaned the fans as much as I could without taking the computer apart. Without smcFC on I tried to recreate the problem and I noticed that the Power Supply Position 1 reached 95 degrees Celsius, and Graphics Processor Temperature Diode reached 97 degrees Celsius before entering sleep mode. I don't know much about temperature sensors and what they monitor specifically, and so I couldn't draw any conclusions from that data. I turned on smcFC and cranked the optical drive speed to 2000 RPM, HDD to 3000, and CPU to 3000. The computer still went to sleep but the temperatures were below 90 degrees Celsius before entering sleep mode. I've tried researching here and on the internet about normal operating temperature ranges of iMacs and generally found that most do reached that temperature but they do not go to sleep mode.
    Then I thought it may be a problem with Lion so I upgraded to Mountain Lion. The issue still persisted. Tried resetting SMC and NVRAM, did not resolve issue.
    I called the same Apple Store explaining to them that their recommendation of replacing the HDD did not resolve the issue. They told me to bring it in and have them check it out again. I went through the same process I did before; the iMac passed all of their diagnostic tests. The Genius told me this time he will test out the RAM. He called me and told me that he could replicate the problem and so he proceeded to put in a stick of 'good' Apple RAM, but the computer would not work. He said the 'good' Apple RAM was damaged, either before or in the process of putting it in. He plugged in my old stick of RAM and the computer worked. He tried to recreate the problem and claimed that the computer ran for over 24 hours with an existing movie on my HDD playing and it did not go to sleep mode. However, once I brought it home I played the same movie right away and it turned off 17 minutes into the movie. Tried resetting SMC and NVRAM again, ran the movie again, still went to sleep.
    And that's the story for now...

    Now to find out WHY it does it at home only. How hot is it at home? Have you checked the AC current/voltage at home?
    Well they were able to replicate the issue at the Apple Store the second time I left my computer there. Anyway, we don't have any heating on at my house at the moment. It's usually from around 20-23 degrees Celsius (72-75 F). Temperature Monitor says ambient temperature is 30 degree C though...
    I'm not really sure how to check the AC current/voltage at home, but my computer worked before I moved it. So I'm not sure if that is the issue.
    I normally only have speakers set up to my computer and a wired keyboard. The speakers are powered separately. I would assume that at the Apple Store only the power cord and wired keyboard are connected.
    What is the Power Supply Position? And what does it do?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Is there any way to log off automatically from a WIFI connection every time the device is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

    I have a bunch of Apple devices in my house (kids) and don't like the idea of all these devices (iPads, iPod touches, iPhones) always being connected to my home WIFI.  Ideally, I would prefer the devices connect automatically when they are in use by a human and log off the network when they (the devices) go to sleep mode or are turned off.

    This is not an answer, more of a question.  I know that when a pad goes to sleep, it drops the connection. We all remember the thousands of posts from folks who had trouble re establishing the connection after waking up in the early days.  What is different now is the use of push, and notifications.  If you have these enabled, doesn't that mean that the wifi needs to stay active?  
    I notice that I have notifications on the screen that came in while asleep, and I can only believe that the wifi saw them.  This is different from the old behavior or re grabbing the wifi.
    So, to Pam, on one the devices you are concerned about, turn off notifications, fetch and push, put it to sleep, and see if it drops off the network.  I am kind of curious.
    By the way, having the wifi active has not shown me any battery usage. The router certainly does not care.  Security is at the router end, so if somebody wants to hijack my signal, it does not matter if the pad is active or not.  So I guess I am not clear either on what your issue might be.

  • HP Officejet 4620 All-in-One Loses Connection to Wireless Network When It Goes Into Sleep Mode

    My HP 4620 All-In-One wireless printer works fine until it goes into sleep mode.  Once it goes into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up if a print job is sent to it.  If I wake it up manually by pressing the blinking on/off button, it still doesn't print.  If I completely turn it off and then on again, the print job that was queued on my computer will start printing, but that's a huge pain and waste of time nearly every time I want to print.  I've installed all available updates.  I also assigned a static IP address in an effort to correct this but nothing helps.  I see that others have complained about this problem, but I do not see that anyone has had success resolving this.  My operating system is Windows Vista.  I use a Link-Sys Wireless G Router.  Thanks.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!
