Scheduled shutdown every night has stopped working for me...

I've been scheduling my computer to automatically shut down and start up for quite some time now. I have it shut down at 11pm and start up at 9am every day and it's always worked great. There's the odd time that it won't shut down because an app was in use or something, but that's fine. Ever since I installed Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, I've noticed it stopped shutting down at night. The settings look like they're still all correct. Nothing has changed. One thing I just noticed is that in the instructions it says that your computer has to be logged in and awake for it to shut down on schedule. I can't remember if that's always been there or not. Problem is, I have my computer set to sleep when not in use, which is most of the day. So, if it's 11 at night and I haven't been using it for a while, it's gonna be asleep and not shut down on schedule. If I have to change the setting to have it never sleep then I'm shortening the life of it.
Any ideas?

Thanks for your quick response. I'm not sure what resetting the PRAM has to do with the computer being asleep but I tried it anyways. No change. Still won't shut down on schedule. As I mentioned, I think the problem is that if it's asleep it can't recognize it's time to shut down. Sounds like we're left with 2 options, either computer never sleeps during day so that it can shutdown entirely at night, or it sleeps during day and I have to manually shut it down each night or at least make sure it's awake sometime before it shuts down. Either way, it's not working like it used to under Lion.

    Hi,
    It appears that the developer has released a newer version of Hotmail Watcher. Version 2.13 located at https://sites.google.com/site/sonthakit/hotmailwatcher. You should try updating it to see if it works then.

  • My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

    My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
    I have tried closing the camera app completely &amp; also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
    Any ideas anyone?

    You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
    Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

    Michael,
    The link for the word 'HERE' directs to a Evergreen School District page, which outside of Mobile Me and/or Aperture. Your school district network might be intercepting the request from Aperture and displaying the 'network authentication page' that you see, instead of the email. I would get with the IT department to see if they can help you get around this.
    Have you also tried using the 'Tell a Friend' feature from another network location, like starbucks or your home?
    Cheers,
    Owen.

  • Licensing has stopped working for Acrobat 9 Pro

    When I install Acrobat 9 Pro on my new Macbook 10.7.4, I get the message "licensing for this product has stopped working" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. When I first purchased Acrobat 9 Pro and installed it on my old Macbook Air, I had the same problem but I was able to fix it with one of the solutions at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html.
    However, none of these solutions work or make sense on my Mac version 10.7.4. I have already been on live chat with Adobe help twice and was unable to resolve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I also have CS5 Premium installed and it works fine).

    I have been having the licensing issue with Windows 8.  I have run the licensing repair tool every few weeks.  It never "sticks".  Acrobat will work fine for a few weeks, maybe a month, then the error comes back.  Does anyone know of a permament fix. Thanks.

  • JTable.changeSelection() has stopped working for me in Java 1.5

    The application I'm working on has a search function for a large table of data. In addition, you can restrict the search to a selected area of the table. This worked fine when compiled on Java 1.4, but has stopped working on Java 1.5. It appears the problem is with changeSelection not actually changing the selection to the cell that was found in the search.
    I've been able to reproduce the problem with some small modifications to the SimpleTableSelectionDemo.java tutorial program. I've included the code below with my changes.
    Basically all I did was modify the mouseListener so that instead of printing the table contents, it calls changeSelection to a fixed location (simulating the search going to a matching cell).
    If I compile/run in 1.4, I can select a cell or region, right-click the mouse and see the specified cell selected. If I start typing the selected cell is edited.
    If I compile/run in 1.5, when I right-click the selected cell is not changed (the second selected cell of the select region stays selected). If I start typing the wrong cell is edited.
    Hopefully someone can tell me if this is a run-time bug, or a change in behavior (and what I need to do to get it working again in 1.5).

  • Personal Hot-spot has stopped working for no reason

    I had a perfectly functional Person Hotspot (data tethering) feature with my Vodafone UK connection, and the data tethering plan I had enrolled proved more economical than those regular USB dongles. Recently, I upgraded my vodafone plan to allow for a higher usage - and somehow the person Hotspot just stopped working. Every time I navigate to the Personal Hotspot Button, the tab - which used to read 'Enable Personal Hotspot ON/OFF' - now reads 'Setup Personal Hotspot'. When I click on the link, it directs me to a Vodafone Iphone Advertisement page.
    I contacted Vodafone officials, even personally visited their store and got a confirmation that the data tethering plan is active, and there should be no problem with my iphone's data tethering capability. The best advise they could suggest was to backup and restore the Iphone using Itunes. Well - I tried that as well, and still the problem persists.
    Has anyone faced this problem before? Can anyone help - where exactly can I reset the Hotspot settings, or even enter it manually to get it working? I've tried backup and restore, reset cellular data network, Disable and re-enable 3G,  ejecting and re-inserting Vodafone SIM........  The hotspot was a wonderful feature, would love to get it back.........!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks Dodie.  My personal hotspot just stopped working.  I use it all the time and it was driving me crazy having to connect via usb.
    I have used the reset before and forgot all about it.
    Simple fix, get it got it, good !
