Should Apple TV be put into standby mode when not in use?

Anyone,
When I am done watching Apple TV, should I put it into standby mode or leave it on? Just want to take of my new favorite toy!!!!

I tend to leave them on all the time - standby mode isn't particularly low power as lots of things are still active.

How do I get My IPHone 5c to go into sleep mode when not using

How do I set my IPhone 5c to go into sleep mode when not using

Are you saying the screen never turns off? That is controlled with auto lock in general settings.
IF your screen turns off, your phone is going to reduced power state, but still looking for events. This is standby, and you see published standby times for the different iPhones.
There is no other setting between this and turning off. So slightly different than a PC.

I have a MAC OSX 10.6.8 Is it better to keep it in sleep mode when not in use or shutting down?

Mac OSX 10.6.8 Should I keep it in sleep mode when not in use to shut down?

My experience with electronic tends to revolve around thermo stress, and removing all power vs going to sleep tends to be more or less the same. Many components have power totally taken away, and others use so little power they cool off.
However, I found thermo stress occurs a lot more with discrete electronic components (like back in the '80s and our VAX-11/780's which had lot more discrete components) and less with integrated circuits. NOTE: I'm not talking about overheating components, just normal heating/cooling cycles.
All in all I would not worry about it. The OP (Grace 1) should use whatever method is most convent for her. And I would say if she is using a Macbook Air or the new Macbook Pro Retna display (or any other Mac with a solid state drive (SSD)), then booting from shutdown may not take all that long anyway.

Keeping Mac Pro in sleep mode when not in use

Is there any harm to the computer system to put it in sleep mode each time it is not in use as opposed to shutting the system down? I apologize if this is considered a silly question but curious to know if it causes any harm to the system apart from using up a small amount of hydro,
Thanks for your help

Thanks for the reply.
That's what I thought but just thought I would throw out the question to confirm. Putting the Mac Pro in sleep mode certainly makes for much quicker startup although coming from a Windows Vista environment the Mac is certainly much faster at startup than my PC. I do use a UPS on all my systems and have it configured much the same as you.

Have you had a chance to look through these?
USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date.

Apple TV powers off when not in use

My Apple TV turns off when not in use and needs to be rebooted by unplugging device to "wake" it up How do I avoid this?

All ATVs go into sleep mode when not in use.
Simply pressing the power button on the remote should wake the device up, is that not occurring?

MacBook doesn't go into standby mode as it should?

I recently set the standby delay on my MacBook to 600 (seconds) thinking that would cause it to go into standby/hibernation after 10 minutes of sleep. However, when I open the lid after several hours of sleep, I find that the "lag time" before I can enter my password that I have previously noted and interpreted as a sign of the system coming out of standby is not there. Also, when i use "pmset -g log" to view the power logs, there's no indication that the system goes into standby mode after the set standby delay. Here is an excerpt from the logs:
4/8/14 1:34:29 AM GMT+02 Sleep

rd=336 ms
Shouldn't there be a log entry somewhere around 1:44:29 (i.e. after 600 seconds of sleep) indicating that the system is going into standby? As can be seen from the log, the battery drops from 88% to 82% during this 8 hour period. As far as I can understand, standby mode is equivalent to Windows "hibernation", where the contents of the RAM is stored on the drive, meaning the computer uses no power during standby. So why isn't standbydelay 600 working as I expect it to?

Update: Uninstalling Avast didn't seem to help. I've also set "autopoweroffdelay" to 600 and "autopoweroff" to 1, no effect. I closed the lid 7 hours ago, computer was still in sleep mode when I opened the lid (nothing connected to it)
So far, setting "hibernatemode" to 25 is the only thing that actually puts my computer into standby/hibernation, although it does that straightaway. I've set hibernatemode 3 for AC power and hibernate mode 25 for battery.
So much for Macs' "just working", the guy who came up with that clearly never owned a Mac... at least not for some time.

Equium A110-276 not able to shut down or put into hibernate mode

With the ac mains adaptor connected to laptop, I am unable to shutdown or put into hibernate mode. When shutting down or going into hibernate, the computer appears to do everything correctly until the power is shut off. When power is shut down there is a two second delay after which the computer re-boots again. This problem does not occur with the ac mains adaptor removed from computer (battery only).
Problem started after my husband inadvertantly connected mains adaptor whilst computer was booting up. Have looked at BIOS settings and all ok; have looked at power settings in Control Panel and all looks ok.
Can anyone please help???

Hi
As far as I know the Toshiba Power saver controls the going into standby and the hibernation mode.
You should firstly remove your power saver and then after clean removing and after new rebooting you should install the version from the Toshiba driver page.
If this will not solve the problem you should try to update the BIOS. But be careful. Be sure that you use the right BIOS and the right BIOS update procedure!

My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

Well I fixed my problem.
I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
Problem solved.
BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.

My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

My iPhone turns off whenever it goes into standby mode and has to be turned back on to work

That's normal behavior. It turns off automatically in order to preserve the battery. Pushing the On/Off button turns it on immediately. This also requires entering the passcode and prevents the phone from being accessed by anyone but you.

My phone won't lock or go into sleep mode when making or receiving calls. Consequently I keep activating the mute or loud speaker buttons with my cheek. Can anyone help please??

That is a Proximity Sensor Problem, which is located above the earpiece speaker. Do you have a new screen protector or iPhone Case which could interfer with this?
