My iMac will not go to sleep when I press the rear power button.
It will, however, if I press sleep in the apple menu using the mouse. This has recently started since I upgraded the memory and ran disk doctor. I know the rear button is not broken as it feels fine and powers up the computer when switched off.
I have researched this and cannot see an answer for specific problem. Any help appreciated!
First I would personally get rid of Disk Doctor, Apple has made every effort to fight Malware, Spyware. First and Formost Viruses do not affect Mac's however if you have Windows installed that could change but I would come on here and check the users and what they use.
If you simply walk away from your Mac it will automaticly go to sleep and a simple click of your mouse will wake it up.
Cheers

Most users leave there computers on 24=7 They go to sleep on there own and you can set when the computer goes to sleep when not in use.

My mac mac book pro w retina display will not stay asleep when I close the lid or put it to sleep.
I put the computer in my bag and when I open it again the machine is so hot I can almost not touch it.
I am affraid that the hardware is allready fried.
Also when I press a key to restart after it has been idle for a few minutes it often takes up to a minute to wake back up.
This machine is bran new..
What should I do?Try a SMC reset:

If no success, then use your warranty and bring it in to the nearest Apple repair facility for rectifying this problem.

My imac will not go to sleep automatically. I've tried lots of stuff. What else?
I noticed in the past 1 to 2 weeks that my imac would not go to sleep automatically. Well, the screen will dim and go black but the hard drives/fans are not cutting off like they used to. The only change I believe I've made is the introduction of a networked attached storage device connected via a switch box.
I have my energy settings checked to put hard drive to sleep, wake for network access, just like I always have.
I've tried doing an SMC reset.
I've tried disconnecting the network attached storage.
I've tried deleting the "power management" file in the library preferences section.
I've tried creating a "test account" as an admin and duplicating the energy settings.
I've removed programs that were starting at log in, one by one.
None of the above has worked and I'm stuck.
I can manually put the imac to sleep and that works fine.
Any suggestions?I've also tried turning the screen saver to the "never" position as I read on another post. Didn't help.

Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPhone camera will not open up. When I press on the icon it open and closes quickly. When I open it from my home screen it reboots my phone. What should I do?
Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

people repport that apple products in general I believe have problems with support for the outdated encryption type called wep encryption which is also pretty useless and easy to break
if you use that try disabling it or changing to wpa encryption

My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button
My iphone 4 will not switch on and i have Press the sleep/wake button for more than 20secs. i have also connected the iphone to Itunes but the computer or itunes doesnt recongise the phone is connected. HELP
If it isn't responding to any of those steps it might prove difficult to extract data from the phone.
So again your best bet may be the Apple Store, they would be able to help retrieve it I expect. -
My ipad is frozen.It says not enough storage but when I press the settings, it's still not moving or doing anything. What do I need to do?
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If your pad is running out of space it is time to delete unneeded items. -
I updated my ipad to iOS 6 yesterday and it worked immediately after updating my ipad worked as it should. I left and came back in about 4 hours and have a black screen. When I press the on off button nothing happens. Help.
Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep/on/off and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

When I pressed the new tab button, I use to land on google. I downloaded something that changed my new tab landing page. I now land on Yahoo. I hate yahoo!. How do I reset my landing page so I land on google when opening a new tab in Firefox.?
''New Tab button brings up Yahoo, want a different page''
First I would identify everything in about:config that refers to Yahoo.
Then I would remove everything about the Yahoo toolbar that is left that you don't want.
