My mac wakes up without command

I have a macbook. Just this week my macbook started having spasms in sleep mode. When it is sleeping it makes noises as if it is waking up. If the cover is closed the little apple lights up and it makes noises as if i have woken up the computer. If the screen is open, it turns the screen on. It happens when it is plugged in and not plugged in and only when in sleep mode. I can to completely shut down the computer in order for me to get some sleep because it makes that noise all night.. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

the noise went away for a few months and now its back =(... its a laptop nothing plugged in and when it goes to sleep it turns on and off and optic disk makes noise... only when i completely shut it down will it work

Recovery mode without command or windows keys

Hello,
I am a mac newbie, but experienced linux and windows user. I am trying to restore my mac mini (mid 2011) running mavericks. The process should normally be very simple; press command-R keys while booting to start recovery mode and go from there.
Unfortunately my keyboard is a palm-sized keyboard without command or windows keys. So I am stuck. I have 2 windows laptops that I can use to remote login but I cannot do remote login during boot.
I tried mapping the Command key to Ctrl key inside OS X, but it seems like this only works after reboot.
I tried to use recovery disk assistant as it requires "Option" key, but the assistant does not allow me select the HD, as I guess I do not have a recovery system on the HD.
I tried doing network install, but it requires the install CD, which I don't have.
Can you help me get out of this situation? I have an ipad and two iphones if it helps.
Thanks!

I tried to use recovery disk assistant as it requires "Option" key, but the assistant does not allow me select the HD, as I guess I do not have a recovery system on the HD.
If you mean holding down the OPTION (alt) key during restart, that takes you to the Startup Manager. AFAIK, there's no recovery disk assistant app in OS X. If you can't do that, then get an Apple keyboard. Without a recovery HD, you'll have to reinstall the OS.

Random Shutdown Without Command

Hello.
My name is Weston Erbentraut, and I have a mid-2010 I7 Macbook Pro. More recently, (over the past four months or so), I been experiencing (random shut down without command) from my computer. I have done a bit of online research regarding possibly issues that may be wrong with it, but still no clear solutio
It is not currently under warranty, and yes I have up-graded everything to a fault.
Is it possible that there might be something wrong with my hard-drive? I have a 500 GB SATA Disk.
Would someone please help me?
- Thanks,
Cityfish.

Can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

You will need either an Ethernet or Wifi Connection to the Internet - USB Mobile device is not supported.
If you already have Lion installed you can boot to Recovery with Command R and use the Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD and then reinstall the OS from the Mac OS X Utilities.
You will need the Apple Id used for purchase if the Mac did not ship with Lion installed originally.
If you want to repartition the HDD you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant to make a recovery USB drive
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
As Always - Back up the Mac before erasing unless you are confident there is absolutely nothing on the mac that you might possibly need later.
If the machine is a 2011 build or later you might be able to boot to Internet Recovery with Command Option R

My iMac (10.6.8) goes to sleep and will not wake up without a hard reboot.

My iMac (10.6.8) goes to sleep after 2 or 3 hours (even if im working at the time) and will not wake up without a hard reboot.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

What all USB or Firewire devices do you have connected?
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if sleep/wake works OK in Safe Mode.
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

You are not alone. Thousands have this problem, on various models of Macs. Short answer, it has something to do with the disk going to sleep (possibly?). You can't do anything about it and Apple won't address the problem. Maybe you should buy a time capsule. Just keep giving them money and use their proprietary equipment.
For a more complete answer, see this thread (all 65+ pages of it with NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT... except for some 3rd party solutions that sometimes work, sometimes don't): Disk Drive ejecting itself

The Mac wakes up alone

I have a Mac Mini 2010. Often leave the Mac to sleep ... I give the mouse on "Standby" from the menu of the block.
And hours later I find ... perhaps activated by moving the mouse somewhat longer active.
http://www.faq-mac.com/tutoriales/tu-reposo-tu-mac-nivel-senshei/46396
The keyboard, mouse and other input devices can affect sleep mode
Press the keyboard and click the mouse button you can activate a computer that is in sleep mode. Mouse movement only activates a screen that is in sleep mode. Although the Mac is in sleep mode, stay tuned for keystrokes and mouse clicks.
Then it is activated by moving the ratón..o to click? or the keyboard key?
One could disable it by moving the mouse does not re-activated?

OHC2, 1 The cause seems...
OHC: stands for Open Host Controller, USB or Firewire is usually we. If you see OHC1 or OHC2 Almost Certainly it is an external USB keyboard or mouse That has woken up the machine.
I'll try to get the keyboard to see if he wakes up.
Thank You

My mac wakes from sleep on its own?

Hi all, for some reason my mac wakes from sleep overnight, not quite sure at which time it does this but I have found the computer awake and up and running in the morning for a few days now?
any ideas why it would wake itself up?
cheers, Robert

98% likely one of your USB devices is waking it up. Do you have a USB hub attached or a bunch of USB devices (drives, other doodads) attached? The console tip above may help tell you which one it is

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process?

How can I move my iPhoto Library from one Mac to another without losing the comments on the individual photos in the process? The source Macbook (OS 10.4.11 and iPhoto 6.0.6 (3.2.2.)) is with my husband in Germany, the target MacBook Pro (OS 10.8.5, iPhoto 11) is with me in Japan. Thanks for your help.

I copied the iPhoto Library to a CD and from there to the new MacBook
If you copied the library to the CD via the Finder it would be no different than the methods Terence suggested. If you used the Share ➙ Burn menu option from inside iDVD you'll get a mini library that has to be accessed from the open library and the events/alubums copied into the destination library. Not the same as the other methods.
The Share ➙ Burn method is no longer supported with iPhoto 9 and later.

You simply can't. Snow Leopard is compiled in Intel binary only.

How to reinstall mac os x without erase boot camp?

Situation:Today, i was using mac os x this morning, it worked fine. then when i went home from work, start up the macbook pro, it took like 4-5 minutes to start the login, then take 30-45 secs, then the desktop starting to freeze!
Notes: I have Boot Camp on it.
Question: Can i reinstall mac os x without erasing the boot camp patition?
Thank you to reply!

Yes, if you think it's necessary you can hold c and boot off the installer OS X disk for your 10.6 and simply reinstall OS X and bundled programs right over the previous ones without it touching your files or other programs.
However, you should take ANY opportunity to transfer your files off the computer (manually, not via TimeMachine) just in case there is a bigger issue afoot, like a failing hard drive.
You might also want to take a look at the free OnyX, run all the maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.
Covers a ton of bases in one place.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.

Adobe Illustrator CS6 won't open in Mac 10.10 without Java SE 6 Runtime. Where do I get it.
I went to Jave and downloaded the latest version of Java 8 Update 31 for Mac, but it still won't open.

dchasin,
You may be able to get round the legacy JAVA requirement as follows:
Create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.

How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.
