Lion: energy saver doesn't work!!!

Hi,
I installed Lion on both my iMac and my MacBook Pro..., don't I feel stupid! I notice the energy saver doesn't work, depite changing the settings. I reinstalled on the iMac, but it made no difference. Has anyone got a solution, yet, or are we waiting for the first update already?

I don't know if this is the same problem, but the problem I was having with my Energy Saver was that the "Wake for network access" checkbox would always check its self, even after locking the options.
Looks like the "Find My Mac" option in iCloud kept re-activating it.
Unchecked "FInd my mac" and now everything seems to be working okay in the Engery Saver
/please don't steal my mac!

Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

2. Select Finder
3. Click on re-start
Then according to the above link, several people tried different things.

Mountain Lion AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on newest MBP

Hello,
I have a 15" MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with OS X Mountain Lion installed. When Apple TV is available, there is an AirPlay icon in the menu bar. When I enable AirPlay Mirroring, my Apple TV turns into black but sound is streaming. No image at all. I tried different screen resolutions but none of them works, my TV supports 1080p and my Apple TV is 3rd generation with newest software (5.0.2). When the AirPlay Mirroring is enabled, there is a high upload speed so I believe the image is actually streaming. And there is no update for my Mac system. When I use iTunes to play a video, then that video can show up on the Apple TV, but besides that, mirroring doesn't work. My Apple TV has no issue when working with iPhone and iPad AirPlay. Do you have any ideas about this? Thank you so much!

Hey,
I have the exact same problem. Read at least a dozen forums, and wasted 3 hours solving it.
Finally, a simple 'restart' solved my problem....
Hope it will for you.

Save Doesn't Work in Dw CS3

All of a sudden Save no longer works in Dreamweaver
CS3 on an XT(2) PC. At first I tried Control-S and thought that
something was grabbing the control character - but it doesn't even
work from the drop down Menu File/Save. What is weird is the Save
As works. Just a pain because it asks me to overwrite each time. Or
it will save the work (after asking) when I hit F12 to test in the
browser.
I tried deleting the Configuration file but that didn't help.
I am really lost and frustrated by this. Oh, and it works in Ps, Fw
and Fl!!!!

System preferences energy saver isn't working

I've noticed that after installing 10.6.6 that my energy saver preferences are sporadic. I have it set to reduce brightness after 10 minutes and after an hour it still bright. I've dumped com.apple.systempreferences.plist but the problem still exists. I've done the disk utility and even used Cocktail and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Move this file to the Desktop then restore your ES settings. In the HD Library.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
IIRC, you will need to give your admin password.

Moutain Lion's Download doesn't work for me...

I've bought Os x Mountain Lion on the Mac App Store but when i look at the "download status" on lauchpad it's still on "0" (the download line stays on the smallest position) what can i do ? I've been rebooting my mac for 3 times and i doesn't work...
-> sorry for my english if i've done some mistake but i'm french so... 8-)

Thank you so much dominic23 ! I think i've got a bug on my Lauchpad because the status (progress) bar doesn't move.
When i take a look at the page linked to the download tab i can see how many time it will take, ... and everythings is obviously alright.

Screen saver doesn't work after updating to Yosemite

When the screen saver should come on the screen remains black.
The screen saver is set to turn on after 3 minutes; Energy Saver is set to turn the display off after 15 minutes.
When testing the screen saver from System Preferences, the screen saver works.
When trying to activate it with a hot corner or by leaving the computer inactive, it does not work/the screen remains black.
It does this no matter which screen saver is chosen.
Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for your help.

I updated two different Mac to "YO" last week and neither encountered an issue. Screen savers are unchanged. However, there are other reports here of screensaver issues. Some have turned out to be caused by unneeded third-party utilities. Are you running any anti-virus programs, or programs that claim to "clean, optimize, or tune up" you Mac?

Energy Saver has stopped working

I've been using the Energy Saver preference pane without trouble for a long time. Several versions of OS X ago I stopped allowing the computer or hard disks to sleep because of annoying (and occasionally serious) problems on waking (I'd be glad to know if this was a bug that has been squashed), but I do put my LCD monitor to sleep as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
It has been sleeping the monitor after 10 minutes of inactivity for ages, but just a couple of days ago it stopped working. The only thing I changed just before this was to install X-Plane 8 on my secondary hard disk -- so far as I know this hasn't installed any files in my system or user libraries.
Any suggestions? I've looked through several recent threads in this forum and haven't found a similar issue. I don't have the problems other users have raised.
TIA, Jeff
PowerMac G4 (AGP Graphics) Mac OS X (10.4.3) 450 MHz upgraded to 1.2 GHz; 1.5 GB RAM; 1 Mb/s

Hello, I have had an experience similar accept that no problem with the Imac G5 going to sleep based on the setting in System Preferences/Energy Saver. The problem I have been having is the machine will not wake from sleep, the scheduled time passes and it never wakes. I initially was having problems with my Intel-Imac, but for whatever reason, a clean install fixed things. In the case of my wife's Imac G5 and our Mini, a clean install did not resolve the problem. I'm beginning to wonder if it has anything to do with the firmware.
I'm sorry I can't offer any further advice, but you are not the only one having sleep/wake issues with the Mac. I hope Apple will offer a fix for us all.

Energy saver schedule not working, can't set the time!

Hi, I was trying to schedule a shutdown today, only to find that it doesn't work, I can't select the time or input it, it only shows AM and PM, but no time! I can't input numbers in that box! I can delete AM or PM, but that's about it!
Does anyone have a clue on what's going on?
Here is a screen pic of the problem: http://img709.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20110127at403.png/

Hmm. Very strange.
Does the date & time appear normally in your menubar, and on Finder windows, etc.?
It doesn't sound like a file system or permissions problem, but you might try Verifying your internal HD, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
Then +*Repair Disk Permissions+* on it, per #5 there.

In Mountain Lion: Convert Chinese doesn't work

Convert selected simplified Chinese and Convert selected tranditional chinese doesn't work.
Anybody has the same situation?

Thanks very much.
However, I just erased whole disk and re-install a clean, new 10.8 system. The problem has been solved I think. But the new problem is that if I selected all text and right-click on whole text or file which include english, simplified chinese and traditional chinese character (actually it's a .srt file). "Convert text from simplified to Traditional chinese" and vice versa won't appear.
If I just selected couple sentences or lines, the functions works fine. It's like OSX's auto detection? Not sure, but it really bother me.
Do you know why sometimes that function doesn't appear? Region? Language prority setting? All I have tried.

Energy saver won't work in OSX 10.4.11

I have a Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5.
Energy Saver crashes every time I try to access it in System Preferences even after reinstalling OSX.

Hello, try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more.

Energy Saver panel not working-Mac drive keeps powering up

I have a 17 inch "Lampshade" iMac running 10.2.8. I have set the preferences in the Energy Saver panel to put the computer to sleep after about 15 minutes and to put the hard drive to sleep when possible. But it never happens. I'm sitting in the room with the computer now and about every 5 minutes I can hear the hard drive spin up for about 30 seconds, then it stops. When the drive is not spinning, I can still hear the computer is on. What exactly is sleep mode, for both the computer and the drive, and should the hard drive periodically start up when it should be sleeping? If not, how do I get my machine to really sleep? Thanks for the help.

Hi! HERE is some info on sleep. Putting the hard drive to sleep is really something I avoid. It will last just as long by never letting it spin down and the computer will come back to life faster. i would let the display sleep but only after 30 minutes or so or even 15 if I consistently left for long periods. The life of a hard drive now days is usually given in start/stop cycles which is more hard on one than running it 24/7/365. I run all my stuff 24/7/365 except for the monitors which I let sleep after 30 minutes idle. Tom

Screen Saver Doesn't Work

Hi -
After upgrading to Leopard (from 10.4.11), the screen saver wouldn't work. When I go into System Preferences and select a screen saver, I get an alert that says:
"Can't Load Screen Saver. Screen saver “(name)” did not load properly. Please select another screen saver. Error: Can’t load bundle."
This happens for any of the screen savers I select. I'd appreciate any ideas as to how I can fix this. Thanks.
Shelly

There's another two files that we can try. I only gave you the simple top level plist file. There's two more if you were willing to give that a shot and see what happens.
Lets do this: go under your main hard drive name/library/prefereneces/systemconfiguration
We are going to trash 2 files. Leave them in the trash, but don't empty trash until after we have regenerated new ones to replace those.
1. com.apple.PowerManagement.plist.......Please delete this 1st and then retry your screen saver.
2. preferences.plist.......Please delete this if the top file did not work
Next, setup your machine preferences including your screen savers. Check to make sure the files have been regen'd.
Test the setup. I just re read your initial post and noted there was an error message with the bundle. I will bet that even after deleting those two files you will still have the same issue as it's not the plist files that are damaged but that the OS can't load the bundle for those screensavers due to file corruption. In that case, the only thing that will remedy that issue is reloading the bundle off the new Lep install disk.
I also note that you have been having other issues as well. Leopard over Tiger is a nightmare Shelly. It really is. I could not boot and it took me two days of trouble shooting it down to driver level to find the issue and resolve it. I fixed it though and now I can boot up all the time without a kernel panic but, it does take way too much time away from just using the machine. That's the real issue-time. Good luck.
