Mini hibernates despite pmset saying it shouldn't

Hello. My new (late 2012) Mac Mini is great, but I've noticed that after putting it to sleep, an hour later it wakes again (although not the displays) to write everything in memory to disk.  I'd rather turn this off (it seems a bit pointless given I have 16GB RAM and it just creates a ~20 or so pause when I start the Mini up again whilst it reads everything back off the disk.  Also if I did ever have a power cut, there'd be just as much chance of it happening whilst I was actually using the computer as when it was sleeping, so...)
Anyway, the output below says 'hibernatemode' is set to zero, which from everything I've read suggests it shouldn't be using it.
wt-macmini:~ wt$ pmset -g
Active Profiles:
AC Power                    -1*
Currently in use:
standby              1
powerbutton          1
womp                 0

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

This was happening to my, after alot of searching I found out it's the "AutoPowerOff = 1" and AutoPowerOffDelay = 14400" thats causing it to switch off/go into hibernation mode.
Use this command in terminal to turn it off:
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
This is what my pmset -g is set to.

    Hi..
    Make sure you are signed into the App Store before updating. And yes, updates are free.
    From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Sign In
    Then click Updates at the top of the App Store window.

  • I'm unable to register my Mac Mini (Late 2012).  Says serial is invalid.

    I'm trying to register my Mac Mini (late 2012) so I can get support for another issue with it.  I grabbed my serial from the "About This Mac" window, and attempt to register using that.  However, I get an error saying "We're sorry, but this serial number is either invalid or it is for Apple software or accessories. If you are trying to register Apple hardware other than an accessory, please check your information and try again."
    I'm also unable to update Mountain Lion from 10.8.1 to 10.8.2.  It just takes me to the App Store update screen, but not OS update appears.

    Call AppleCare and let them register it. Some late 2012 machines are unable to update to 10.8.2.

  • I have downloaded the kindle app to my iPad mini but where it says open it won't do anything

    Please help
    I have a new iPad mini and I used to have a kindle had fire
    I would like to retrieve my book from the kindle, so I went to store and downloaded app the picture of kindle comes up and it say open, wen I press open nothing happens do I have to do anything to the kindle to Make this happen please help x

    If you are still in the App Store app then exit the app (click the home button) and you should find the Kindle app on your iPad's homescreen - try tapping on that and see if it opens from there.
    If it doesn't then try some of the 'standard' troubleshooting. First try closing the Kindle app via the multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it : double-click the home button to open the iPad's multitasking bar, and then swipe or drag the Kindle app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that fixes it then there is some help for using the Kindle app on Amazon's website : Kindle for iPad.

  • My new mac mini with fusion drive says I only have 36 GB of storage

    I have a new mac mini with the 1 TB fusion drive. When I look in storage in the About this Mac area, I'm told I have 6.67 GB free out of 34.62 GB. An Apple rep said that this is a bug in the system and that I have the proper amount of storage available. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

    I have just gotten of the phone with Apple Support here in Canada, more to let them know about this issue and yes, got the same message. The Fusion drive is very new technology and they have not heard much about this problem either. Their best advice was to wait untill the new iMacs role out with the same drive and see if the same problem is cropping up elseware. Maybe a solutiion will be forthcomming at that time?
    Seriously, I must say..... very disappointing Apple! Steve Jobs is probably rolling over in his grave. Since when does Apple role out a product that does not work 100% out of the box? Since when does Apple adopt a "wait and see" approach to possible hardware glitches? Where is the quality control people!!
    Even as a die-hard Macintosh fan, I must concede that Apple is loosing "street cred".
    Well, I have my complaint logged and will be awaiting further updates regarding this issue, but I won't be holding my breath.   

  • IPad mini package doesn't say 'retina'

    I just received my new iPad Mini with Retina ordered through Apple Canada. Thanks for the very prompt delivery just before Christmas! But there is only one place on the packaging that says this is the iPad Mini with Retina, and that is on the label attached the box in French. How do I know I got the newest edition of the Mini?

    This is the only place that the box will say Retina is as you have seen, on the label on the back of the box.
    If you look up the serial number, it will show it is in fact Retina.

    You will need to restore your iDevice from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try recovery mode.

  • Bt vision didnt move with us despite BT saying it ...

    Hi
    I wonder if anyone else has eperienced this (I dont mean BT poor service - thats a given on here).
    We are on our second BT box and they have told us they have to replace it again. This is despite having 2 weeks notice we were moving house. Their only suggestion is that we have to lose all of our recordings when we moved! I dont remember being told that!

    I'm confused. You're on your "second BT box" - do you mean your second Vision+ box? If so, do you know why? Also have you already moved, or are you about to?
    You shouldn't have to lose your recordings when you move. Then can move your account details. However, they often get it wrong and you get a new account and lose access to all your recordings. Even when that happens, if you are lucky enough to speak to the right person they can rectify the situation and restore your original account at your new address and restore access to your existing recordings.

  • Installing iPod mini Softw my PC says not enough space onHD

    Hi, 1st time posting; I'm surprised by the huge amount of troubles people are experiencing with iPod mini. THE PROBLEM: my daughter bought iPod mini (4Gb) in July in the US (we live in Italy). When I try to install on my old PC the software from the installation disk that came with it , this message comes out: "Out of disk space. Disk space required for the installation exceeds available disk space. Volume 'C' required space 34.626 Kb: available space 18.840 Kb. Error 1603". My OS is installed on the HD "C" where I see 90Mb of free space. I've also tried to redirect the installation to the other HD "D" drive with 3Gb of free space that was reformatted before the installation, but with the same error message. I also disabled the antivirus. Any help for my iPod mini? Thank u very much

    Your old PC probably doesn't meet the requirements that the installation cd requires. Your old PC might not have room for the mini files.
    How about deleting stuff you don't need and then trying again?

  • Updated to PS 2014 for the CC updater in the top menu bar on the Mac,  or so I thought but even after restarting I still have older version, despite "about" saying there are no updates.  Any ideas?

    In the Mac, the updater icon told me there were many updates.  I had them all install and they did, supposedly successfully.  However, after I opened PS, it's still the old version and if I go to Help and click updates, it says I have the lastest version, yet it's still 14.2  What's going on?  Thanks.

    This may help ...
    I had the CC Desktop App tell me there were new versions available and got both Indesign (CC 2014) and Photoshop (CC 2014).  Went to start Indesign and got an error: 1. Suggesting I uninstall and then reinstall.  The uninstaller in the app folder had lost its alias link to the original uninstall file so I had to manually find it and un-install.  Then re-did installation using the CC Desktop app, and now its starting.  So I am doing the same with Photoshop now and have tried starting Indesign and it is now working ... So Id suggest check your application folder and look for a folder "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" and if its not there then you may well have just updated the existing CC application.  The 2014 is a totally new install ...

  • Mobile apps not included in CC despite marketing saying so?

    Mobile apps do not seem to be available for CC members despite it being clearly promised in the marketing material here : "http://www.adobe.com/uk/products/creativecloud/tools.html" : "Adobe® Creative Cloud™ lets you download and install any or all of the following applications — and you'll always have access to the latest versions with your membership.

    Underneath this text the page goes onto describes the mobile suite of tools and therefore clearly implies they are included FoC.
