Just a SIMPLE query: No blinking/pausing white light when asleep?

Hello all.
Just got my new Intel iMac, very cool. I've set the mac to Display Sleep only and no HD sleep, when the screen goes black, there is no blinking white light at the lower right corner of the iMac, unlike my 1st gen G5 version.
How would I know then for sure, that my iMac is asleep and not shut down?
Thanks and cheers

It would have been nice, if the black Apple for example would glow slightly, but no. There is no way of knowing it, other than pressing some key on keyboard. If it wakes up... Oops, it was sleeping. If it doesn't, then it is shut down (or otherwise unwilling to co-operate with you).
I wonder, if this really is some environmental issue. Powering off your computer uses less electricity? If so, that is good, because climate change has struck again: Another christmas in a row without snow here in southern Finland...

  • HT200154 my apple tv 3rd gen is blinking a white light all the time and won't show any video on my tv what do I do

    I recently updated my apple tv software anvd now it just constantly blinks a white light in the front and will show no video to my tv what do I do

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)

    That normally indicates an issue with system memory. The startup sequence can't complete the boot due to a memory issue. Take it in for service.

  • Problem: droid razr battery fully drained, white light when plugged to usb?

    Hello
    I just got the phone new out of box at beginning of month, Battery was fully drainded today,when I plugged the usb to charge phone a bright white light shines on front screen.  Is the phone toast? or is this normal?
    Thank you for any help.

    if you really think charging a phone, that's on, with a usb, is getting a full charge you're dreaming.
    re-read your comment in the post i replied to:
    "I went to the store thinking it was toast but the guy plugged in a wall charger and it immediately came on.
    Well just this morning it died and I charge from my computer.  Again the white light of death and I could do nothing".

  • Blinking Orange Charger Light when Charging L855-S5405

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop L855-S5405 that I bought in Oct 2013 and I replaced the battery around a week ago since it does not stay charged for last very long and the PC Health Monitor said that the battery health was poor. I also replaced the AC Adapter since it would only work if it was held a certain way. When I charge my laptop now, the charging light sometimes blinks in a pattern of 7-8 times then stops but it happens at random, it's not like it blinks 7-8 times then stops then starts blinking again immediately. When the blinking occurs, my laptop stops charging but begins charging again after it stops. I have my laptop on and working when it is charging and it does not really affect anything as far as I can tell but I would still like to know what this pattern means so I can fix it.I have tried uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery then reinstalling it like I have seen in other forums but that does not work and turning off my laptop and unplugging the AC Adapter and taking out the battery then holding power button for 30 seconds then putting everything back in does not work as well. I cannot seem to find anything similar to the problem I have whenever I look online or at the forum from what I have seen so any help would be appreciated.

    Is none of these suggestions work, it likely requires servicing unfortunately:

  • HT1551 just updated my apple TV and whit light is flashing continuously and nothing is on the screen anymore.

    Can anyone help with this please?
    Just updated the Apple TV and the white light is now flashing quickly and nothing is on the screen.  Can't access it with the remote from the Ipad.

    Same problem here.  Long time Apple fan, own lots of their products... Greatly disappointed.
    Bought a brand new Apple TV, worked fine for 3 days but then the picture went blank (possibly after an auto update?) and I observed a quickly flashing white light on the Apple TV.  Manual indicates this means it is "having problems" (no kidding) and recommends restoring the software via a micro-USB cable (cable not provided).
    Acquired a cable and attempted this fix but after following the procedure the Apple TV never showed up in iTunes, so I'm unable to perform the restore.  Returning the device today, not sure if we want to get another or just give up and save the $100.

  • White light plz help

    I have a 500mhz indigo imac when i press the power button it blinks a white light once and doesn't turn on i opened it up thinking maybe the button was stuck making it stay in sleep mode but it's not plz help me thanks.

    No chime can be a symptom of a flat logic board battery.
    Perhaps the RAM is bad, but that's unlikely if the machine worked before. Try reseating RAM or removing everything but the stock RAM.
    If it's not that, then go here and download the appropriate manual for your iMac, and follow the troubleshotting steps:

    Opening the Mac can potentially expose you to up to 26kV of voltage. Make sure you know what you are doing before attempting DIY repair on an iMac or any CRT.

  • Iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id

    My iphone 5s had white light leaks on lcd after unlocked with touch id. It's a bit confusing because if I unlock with passcode, there's no white light leaks. Does anyone have the same issue? What should I do?

    Title: Burst of White Light on iPhone 5S and iPhone 6
    Description:
    On unlocking the device with Touch ID a burst of white light is produced from the Top Left/Right corners of the screen.
    It happens when more than two folders are created i.e three/four folders each having some applications and the phone is locked while on the same screen.
    If no folder or maximum two folders are created then no such burst is produced when unlocking with Touch ID.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Configure Touch ID
    2. Use Black/Dark wallpaper on Home & Lock Screen.
    3. Create minimum four folders either on the home screen or the second having some applications in each.
    4. Being on Home Screen lock the phone.
    5. Unlock with Touch ID and a Burst of White Light will appear on Top Left/Right Corner.
    6. Now move/drag two of the folders to the other second page.
    7. Go back to Home Screen and lock the phone.
    8. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
                        OR
    Repeat step 1 and 2 as listed above.
    1. Go to the second screen (after home screen) and create three or four folders with applications in it.
    2. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
    3. Unlock with Touch ID and there is a Burst of White Light.
    4. Now drag or remove the folders with only two left.
    5. Lock the iPhone while on the same screen.
    6. Unlock with Touch ID and there is no Burst of White Light.
    NOTE: If iPhone is LOCKED and UNLOCKED when on the screen with no folders NO WHITE BURST is there.
    Problem Since:
    Burst of White Light when apps added to a folder and unlocked with Touch ID. This is noticed since the update iOS 7.0.6 [11B651]
    Devices:
    The burst of light on iPhone 5s is easily recognized but on iPhone 6 its for a fraction of a second. Not checked on iPhone 6+.

  • My iPhone screen is frozen on white light (then goes to black).  I tried to reset with no luck.  The phone will ring but can't pick up a call.

    My iPhone screen shows only a white light when on, then goes to black. 
    I tried to reset, with no success, and I
    synced to computer again, with no luck either.

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:

    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.

  • ATV 2 stopped working. The connections are good, the remote is paired and working, but the menus come and go off sporadically, and the white light just blinks continuously.

    I bought ATV 2 about two weeks ago.  The setup was easy and I set up my Home Sharing, screensavers, and I was watching Netflix within about 20 minutes.  I had a good week of no trouble and enjoyed the device immensely.  I updated the software when prompted and continued to watch movies and play music.  Then something happened: in the middle of viewing, ATV 2 stopped working, the screen went blank, and the little white light started blinking slowly.  When this happens, the ATV manual "troubleshooting" section merely says, "Apple TV is having problems."  ***?  Strangely, it would come on and act fine for a few moments as if nothing happended (for only a minute or two), then click off again.
    I attempted to RESET the device by using the Down/Menu combo -- nothing -- the white light blinks really fast but still no picture on the TV (just the Apple logo); I unplugged it and plugged it back in -- no fix; then, I RESTORED the device and had to re-enter Apple and Netflix account info, passwords, set up shared photo folders, etc.  Afterwards, it worked.  I watched movies right where I left off and went on with life until a few days ago when I wanted to finish a movie... The movie was going fine - no problems at all - until ATV 2 stopped working again! 
    So, the remote works [it is paired and sends commands as it should], the HDMI connection to HDTV is fine, the stereo receiver connection is fine (for audio, using an optical cable).  But the only thing on the TV is the Apple logo.  Resetting ATV 2 doesn't work; and I could restore it again but that seems like a HUGE waste of time, and something I am not prepared to do each time I want to use the device. 
    What could be the cause?  Wireless interferrence, software/update flaws, need for firmware, or malfunctioning hardware?   ATV 2 is a $100 paperweight until I get answers.

    After some sleuthing online, reading a compilation of Q&As here, and visiting the local Apple Store, I think the problem and "solution" may be found in HOW my ATV2 is connected to my stereo.  For some reason that I have not figured out, when the RECEIVER either switches from one setting to another, it somehow disrupts the ATV.
    The ORDER of how you turn ATV on and off is key.  If you start with everything OFF (ATV, HDTV, stereo Receiver), then turn on the receiver, then turn the HDTV, put the TV to the input setting that is connected to the ATV, THEN turn on the ATV by hitting the Play button on the remote. 
    Note: The ATV light may come on once the HDTV is turned on and put to the correct setting, but you will not see a picture on your TV yet.
    You should be up and running on ATV (without having to reset, unplug or restore). Apparently, I was using my universal remote that essentially turned everything (HDTV, Onkyo Receiver and, by extension, the ATV) on at the same time, confusing ATV and causing that evil blinking white light.  The ATV connection was lost.
    When you are done with ATV, you must put ATV to sleep FIRST... each time. The command is on the main menu, to the far right, at the bottom [Sleep Now].  Once you press Sleep Now, the ATV will go off.  THEN you can turn your receiver/HDTV off (or to whatever other setting you want for watching regular tv, music, etc.).  I was simply switching my HDTV and Receiver 'away' from ATV when I was done... But I would return to a blinking light and no ATV.  The solution above is a work-around that seems to do the trick.
    The thing Apple needs to fix is to make the "Sleep Now" command a simple process on the remote so you don't have to back out of everything you were watching to get to the main menu for the Sleep Now command. Or in the next update Apple merely needs to improve ATV2 so it can work no matter what order you open or close it on a HDTV/Stereo. 
    Note: Other people have suggested that you just hit the select or Menu button to put ATV to sleep, but that did NOT work for me.
    I figured this out through trial and error so I hope it works for you too.

  • How to write a simple query.

  • Simple Query in Oracle Linked Table in MS Access causes full table scan.

    I am running a very simple query in MS ACCESS to a linked Oracle table as follows:
    Select *
    From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
    Where performed > MyDate()
    or
    Select *
    From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
    Where performed > [Forms]![MyForm]![Date1]
    We have over 50 machines and this query runs fine on over half of these, using an Oracle Index on the "performed" field. Running exactly the same thing on the other machines causes a full table scan, therefore ignoring the Index (all machines access the same Access DB).
    Strangely, if we write the query as follows:
    Select *
    From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS
    Where performed > #09/04/2009 08:00#
    it works fast everywhere!
    Any help on this 'phenominon' would be appreciated.
    Things we've done:
    Checked regional settings, ODBC driver settings, MS Access settings (as in Tools->Options), we have the latest XP and Office service packs, and re-linked all Access Tables on both the slow and fast machines independantly).

    Primarily, thanks gdarling for your reply. This solved our problem.
    Just a small note to those who may be using this thread.
    Although this might not be the reason, my PC had Oracle 9iR2 installed with Administratiev Tools, where user machines had the same thing installed but using Runtime Installation. For some reason, my PC did not have 'bind date' etc. as an option in the workarounds, but user machines did have this workaround option. Strangely, although I did not have the option, my (ODBC) query was running as expected, but user queries were not.
    When we set the workaround checkbox accordingly, the queries then run as expected (fast).
    Once again,
    Thanks
