Restore disk OS X Mountain Lion: Prevent computer from sleeping

Please help, I need to create a backup using the disk utility on my restore disk.  However, the computer keeps going to sleep and corrupting the backup. How do I prevent my computer from sleeping while the imac is creating the backup?
Processor  3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory  4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I can not add anymore physical ram
Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS 512 MB
Software  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)

I would recommend using a proper tool for backing up, if you want to create a bootable clone use either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Either that (or even better use a clone and) or use Time Machine.

  • How to prevent computer from sleeping when downloading Lion from the recovery partition?

    Hello,
    I just got a new MacBook Pro that came with Lion. I'm reinstalling from the recovery partition and I'm on the downloading additional components stage. It has 3 hours to go and the computer keeps going to sleep. How can I prevent this? I don't want to have to babysit the computer for 3 more hours.
    Thanks.

    Looking for an answer to this question now.  Did you find one?  I'm about an hour into a 6+ hour reinstall of Mountain Lion from the Recovery partition on my MacBook Pro.  So I can't change the sleep corners or caffenate it or do much of anything but wait.   I want to go to bed and let it install overnight, but I assume it will go to sleep, and that will kill the download.  It there any way to prevent it from sleeping now? 
    Even trying to think of something I can put on the trackpad to trick it into thinking I'm touching it.
    Maybe ill put it under my dog, and her movements will keep it awake?  Thinking outside the box here.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

  • Wifi problems in Mountain Lion when resuming from sleep mode.

    I have recently upgraded my Macbook Pro to OS X Mountain Lion. I have been noticing that everytime my computer enters sleep mode and I wake it back up to use again the wifi connection is lost or frozen. If I roll over the wifi bars at the top of my desktop the rainbow wheel appears over my toolbar and I cannot access the internet. The only way I have found to fix this problem is to restart my computer and connect to the internet or use a program or set the energy settings to prevent the computer from falling asleep. This problem has really been agravating me for the past couple of weeks. Has anyone experienced a similar problem or found a permanent solution?

    Ok, so it's certainly a Broadcom wifi adapter. The Lenovo nomenclature refers to it as "1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter (43142)". But why are you trying to install Realtek drivers?
    The only driver I could find is this one, for Windows 8. Please uninstall all other drivers, reboot and install this one, or let Windows find a suitable driver and see if that works. Also please read the document from the link, it gives detailed instructions on installation and uninstallation, how to check version number etc.
    It might be the case that you have to wait a bit for an updated driver for win 8.1 to resolve the problem, but It doesn't hurt if we try to find a solution.

  • How do I investigate and solve Pages, Notes, Mail intermittent 'offline' and failure to synchronise problems with Mountain Lion after waking from Sleep

    When I wake up my iMac after sleep, i get a variety of intermittent - but mostly FREQUENT and FRUSTRATING problems including:
    Notes app is offline - as stated by a message in the window bar. If I close Notes and reopen, the app appears to be online. However, Notes does NOT update with items I know are on my iPad or in the web iCloud. Furthermore, if I create a new note on my iMac, the new Note does not upload to iCloud. This is IRRITATING!
    Pages and Numbers - similar situation. I can edit a Pages or Numbers document on my iMac (stored on the iCloud). But then the Pages doc doesn't ALWAYS get uploaded to the iCloud. Then I end up with conflicted versions of the file in the cloud, my iPad, and the two iMacs I use. Then I get CONFUSED and FRUSTRATED. For example, consider these steps:
    Open Pages on my iMac, edit an iCloud file, then save and close file
    Pages/File/Open/iCloud - I note in the iCloud file list the edited file has a little 'cloud' icon against its name. From experience this warns me of TROUBLE - namely that the file has NOT yet been uploaded to the iCloud. However, I just checked the new Beta iCloud on the web, and to my surprise, the file edited on my iMac is apparently in the icloud. But now, I edit the iCloud version, and the changes DO NOT appear on my iMac pages version. OK I realise its in Beta version...
    So now, I open my iPad, open Pages. I note the iCloud version of my edited document updates to my iPad, as indicated by a blue download line. 'It just works' as Steve Jobs claimed at Apple Developers Conference a couple of years back. Again, the edited version form my iPad is now 'up in the cloud' correctly....
    Oh - and now mysteriously the Pages version on my Imac has become synchronised with my iPad/iCloud version! Luck ... but that's about all I can say. It doesn't always happen. I'm LUCKY today.
    Meanwhile, the Note I created on my iMac (Item 1 above) has still not yet appeared on my iPad or iCloud... even though I HOPE it would be given that Pages on my iMac, iPad and iCloud are chatting nicely now! The Note says it's in my iCloud - but  NOT. Similarly, notes updated or added on my iPad, which appear in iCloud, are NOT on my iMac.
    Mail - last but NOT LEAST! and MOST INFURIATING!!! My Gmail, Vodafone NZ and Orcon accounts (in Mail) are all active and receiving after the night's sleep. However, my iCloud mail account has the dreaded offline.
    The message on Mail is "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “ICloud - [email protected]” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “p03-imap.mail.me.com” cannot be contacted on port 993." Despite the message, mail was received this morning at 8:59 am ... some time before I woke-up my computer (a late start this morning).
    If I sent an email FROM my .me iCloud account TO my Vodafone account, the message whooshes away, it's in my SENT box. But it doesn't get delivered to my Vodafone account on my iMac Mail, or anywhere else, Despite the message being listed in my 'Sent' mailbox!!!
    In contrast, a message sent from my Gmail account to my Vodafone account (in Mail) gets sent and received almost instantly on  my iMac and iPad.
    All of the above mishaps are extremely frustrating, as I rush off from working on my iMac at home, get to my iMac at work and find documents I have been updating on my home iMac not available correctly on my work iMac ... or even my iPad. I expect these things from Apple to 'just work'. Furthermore, emails I THINK I have sent (as indicated by them appearing in the Sent folder on my home iMac) ... have not actually been despatched.
    Frankly, I can no longer rely or recommend the Apple iCloud stuff, so I am converting more and more to relying on DropBox and Google.
    These problems only became apparent since I updated to one of the Mountain Lion versions... I can't say when.
    Oh - if I shutdown and restart the computer my Mail works OK. Guess what, I don't want to do that each time I want to use Mail!
    Technicals:
    My iMac is connected by Ethernet cable to my Apple TimeCapsule. The TimeCapsule is connected by Ethernet cable to my Orcon Genius Modem.
    Obviously, my internet connection is A-OK, as I am able to use Firefox to make this posting!
    Mountain Lion 10.8.4
    iMac 27 inch, mid 2010, Intel Core i5 16 Gb

    I've returned to my sleeping iMac after a few days away. Tis time, ALL MAIL accoiunts are offline. I will follow you next set of instructions. In the meantime, here is the DETAIL from MAIL CONNECTION DOCTOR:

  • After printing 'hpdot4d' process prevents computer from sleeping

    Hi,
    I noticed that after printing a document that the process named 'hpdot4d' continually writes something as seen in fs_usage preventing the computer from going to sleep. The computer sleeps fine before printing and won't sleep after printing. If I kill the process the computer will sleep again on it's own. I am using an HP Photosmart 8250 with the Mac Pro.
    This is what shows up continuously in fs_usage after printing a document.
    21:01:45.042 select S=0 0.100020 W hpdot4d
    21:01:45.116 write F=2 B=0x65 0.000009 hpdot4d
    21:01:45.116 write F=2 B=0x75 0.000002 hpdot4d
    21:01:45.116 write F=2 B=0x65 0.000002 hpdot4d
    21:01:45.116 write F=2 B=0x75 0.000002 hpdot4d
    21:01:45.116 write F=2 B=0x65 0.000002 hpdot4d
    Anyone else have this problem? Where can I make Apple aware of this if this is a bug that can be fixed? As far as I remember this wasn't a problem in Tiger.
    Thanks.

    For what it's worth, I've had that hpdot4d process showing up ever since I set up my HP officejet 5610 on my Mac, and I'm still running 10.4. I'm pretty sure this is an HP problem, not an Apple problem...

  • Can't restore iLife after reinstalling Mountain Lion

    After I erase the internal disk and reinstall Mountain Lion, I followed this instruction which Apple provides officially to restore my iLife:
    Restoring iLife applications after Internet Restore of OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion
    If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
    After installation, start (up) from OS X.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.
    However, when I finish #5, I can't find my iLife apps are listed in that "Purchases" tab. Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen.
    I'd contact MAS support

  • How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

    How come, ever since I installed Mountain Lion, my computer is slower???

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Next, select the Disk Activity tab. What approximate values are shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • I recently did a factory restore on my imac mountain lion, but when i try to download OS x again apple is not recognizing my id and password

    I recently did a factory restore on my imac mountain lion, but when i try to download OS x again apple is not recognizing my id and password

    So, what exactly did you do for a "factory restore"? Which method did you try?
    Did you go to the app store > Purchases? Is it listed there?
    Or, did you try using the recovery method (Command + R keys or Command + Option + R keys while restarting)? Are you able/unable to reach Apple's servers to download the OS?

  • I would like to import the .abcdp files from my old, restored HD (was running mountain lion when the mac crashed) to the addressbook of my new mac (10.9.5)

    I would like to import the .abcdp files from my old, restored HD (was running mountain lion when the mac crashed) to the addressbook of my new mac (10.9.5).
    Please advise.

    I don't have access to one.
    I don't understand why the new address book is not backwards compatible with the data from former OS X versions.
    In 10.8. preview was still able to read the files although it was already impossible to import them into the address book. But Why?

    If i upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and do a Time-Machine-Backup before, is it possible to restore my mac on Mountain Lion with this Backup made on Snow Leopard?
    Thx guyz

    You don't need to restore anything.
    Just upgrade.  That replaces Snow Leopard with Mountain Lion, without disturbing anything else.
    But by all means, always keep up-to-date backups, in case something goes wrong.

    Did you not bring all your important data over from your old computer? Do you have a backup of the iTunes library that you can restore? If not, then its not to late, just more work that it should be.
    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • Is mountain lion worth upgrading from lion

    is mountain lion worth upgrading from lion

    That is a question you really have to answer...go to http://www.apple.com/osx and check the features in ML...are they features that are important to YOU?  Do you want to text message from your computer?  Use the other features that are an integral part of iOS/  For me the huge factor is the added speed of ML...Safari for me is significantly faster...the whole system is faster.  I really like ML...but there are others on here who disagree.
    Go through the features and see how important they are to you then decide.

  • Does mountain lion support install from a RAID drive?

    does mountain lion support install from a RAID drive?

    Apple does not support the 3rd party drives.  To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
    http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
    I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
    the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
    Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly.  After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.
