New Intelimac, any reason why SLEEP and WAKE habits would change?

So, had this imac CD for about two weeks now, nice. Had a bit of a FAN problem upfront, but that seems to have settled, or at least I have.
Now, I have the mac set to dim screen after about five minutes, although the brightness changes after about 1 minute of no activity. After 12 minutes it is suppossed to SLEEP which I can only imagine it does. The little light on the bottom right blinks on and off.
But, a week ago, I would just come in and hit the ESC key and the mac would like up. Now, I hit the ESC key and nothing happens, I have to click the mouse or something.
Secondly, when it wakes up I USED to hear a FAN whirring, but now that doesn't happen. And, NOW when it wakes up, the screen comes to life and the mac WAKES up but then the SCREEN goes dark and THEN it comes to life again.
This pattern is unusual and new, nothing really has been done other than adding Office and a couple of songs to my library?
Any thoughts was setting might have gotten out of MAC!

I've noticed some of the same behavior, as well. If my iMac sleeps on its own, when I wake it, the screen flashes briefly, goes dark briefly, then the log in screen appears. If I put it to sleep manually, when I wake it, the log in screen appears (no flashing).
I have also noticed, that on occasion, when the computer should be asleep (I have it set to sleep after one hour of inactivity), the screen is dark and the sleep light flashing, but the login in screen appears immediately when I move the mouse of touch a key on the keyboard, as though the iMac had not been asleep.
Other than the above, all else appears to be functioning normall. Thus far, my inclination is to attribute this behavior to the switch in processors.

  • HT3702 My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    Because they are the terms of use of the stores - terms from the US store :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    And similar terms apply to all other country's iTunes stores. Part of the reason is licensing (Apple can only sell content where the providers have granted them licenses to sell it), amd part might be due country's laws (some country's have restrictions as to what can be sold within their country). If there is content that you want that is not currently in the Jordanian store then you can try requesting that it be added (but the content providers might not let Apple sell it there) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I used to work on few open windows with a number of open tags, for some reason firefox stopped opening new window, any reason why?

    I have been using firefox for a while. I usually work on a number of windows (sometimes up to 8) with 8 - 10 tags in each. I was using a trial version of Nero and was triggered for an upgrade which i stopped half way through. I dont know if this has caused this problem. Now I cannot open any link in a new window. It will only open in a new tag of the same window.
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == when i stopped an upgrade from Nero

    -> IF you use Privacy Cleanup softwares like CCleaner, DON'T SELECT FIREFOX IN ITS SETTINGS. These softwares can be responsible for Deleting your Firefox Settings.
    Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
    * Make sure you are using the '''"Remember History"''' setting as described in this article -> [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    * [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]]
    Check and tell if its working.

    Macbook air Wi Fi and sound stops every time it goes to sleep. i have to  restart it every time to use wifi and sounds. this started happening just after the latest upgrade to OS X. any reasons why its doing that and how to fix it.

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reinstall OS X.

  • I have Windows 7 and recently everytime I try to update my iTunes I get an error message. Any reasons why?

    Hi! I have a PC running on Windows 7 and recently I can not upgrade my iTunes. Any reasons why?

    Many thanks, that's perfect.
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

    I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

    I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...

You can even turn iPhone OFF with this button. To turn iPhone ON, connect iPhone to power ie charger or USB of computer.

  • Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list.  Any reason why and how do i correct this.  Thanks.

    Having synced my ipod, there are certain artists missing from the list on the ipod, but the tracks are there under the songs list.  Any reason why and how do i correct this.  Thanks.

    We'll assume for now, that all the songs and albums in your iTunes Library are correctly labelled (dangerous assumption, by the way!), and that a Compilation album is one with songs by different artists. Unfortunately, the music industry (bless their little cotton socks!) often mark an album by one artist, that has a collection of their songs from old albums, as a compilation! iTunes doesn't think it is!
    The missing artists will be those who only appear on Compilation albums. For example, if you have one song by Fleetwood Mac in your Library, and it's on a multi-artist Compilation album, then Fleetwood Mac will not be listed in the Artists menu. But, if you then import a Fleetwood Mac album (or even a Fleetwood Mac single) into your Library, then not only will Fleetwood Mac appear under Artists, but the song by them in the Compilation album will also be listed.
    One way to sort this out is to remove the Compilations option from the Main Menu and the Music Menu on your iPod. To do this, go to Settings/Main Menu/Compilations and press the Select (centre) button to turn off the tick. Then repeat this in the Settings/Music Menu/Compilations.
    You should now find the missing artists listed in the Artists menu.
    By the way, I now routinely check all albums I import from CD into my iTunes Library. Before I start the import procedure, I make sure that Compilation CD is turned on (highlight the album in the import window and right-click/Compilation CD) if it really is a multi-artist CD - and off if it's a single artist CD. Once imported, I manually change the album info to; (highlight album and select ) File/Get Info/Info/Album Artist has "Various Artists" in the box. Make sure it's the Album Artist box, not the Artist box.
