Sky Box Goes Into Standy

When I turn off my TV using the remote control for my TV it also puts the sky box into standby. Is there anyway to prevent this? It never used to do this.

I assume that you mean that you are watching TV via the BT Vision box?
How is the TV connected to the BT Vision Box, SCART or HDMI?
If its SCART, are you using the correct SCART output at the back of the box?

If within the warranty period and not abused, Apple will exchange them at no cost.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Connecting sky+ box to my 20inch display

The subject kind of says it all really.
Basically I see the flow going like this:
Signal comes out of sky box on a scart -> Convert cable to dvi -> plug into display card that is on back of computer.
I really dont think it can be that simple!
But there are a few different things i have been thinking.....
1. Do I need a video/tv card to plug the sky box into?
2. As the output of the box is scart can I just get a cable to convert it to dvi, and plug it in?

Hello,
I doubt you can find a connection to go between the iBook and Sky Box.
Unless the Sky Box is Wireless and you can connect to it via your iBook network settings.
Even then, what playback software would be available for your PPC iBook to play back these programs.
Does Sky even permit programs being copied from their boxes to computers?

Line Cord Error when connect to Sky+ Box with BT65...

Bought a new Panasonic TV and had to re sort cables took photos and replaced exactly as before. Did connect the new TV to splitter that works fine.
BT 6500 shows Line Cord error as soon as Sky box connected on own, with micro filter, with splitter. No errors prior to today so wonder if doing something daft.
We have 3x 6500s in house is it REN related? But as worked previously a bit odd.
Extension socket behind TV to micro filter - to spliter as before. Plug in cable to SKY plus box and get a line chord error showing on handset. Disconect and fault goes but noticed this fault reported on many forums BT, Virgin ....ANY advice welcome.

make sure you have connected the cable to Sky box into correct port.... the sky box has 2... an ethernet port for a cat5 cable ( rj45 bigger port ) and an rj11 port for the phone cord.... the problem is this will fit in both!! but if connected to the ethernet port it will put a loop on line and cause fault on phone line...

I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate

I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots.

Incoming mail going into Drafts folder

I don't have any mail rules set. I get hundreds of emails a day all going to my Inbox (or Junk). Mail from one particular sender goes into my Drafts folder so I usually miss it. How can I stop this?

Mail going into junk folder that's not junk

I have tons of emails suddenly going into my junk folder, but they are not even being marked as junk email. These are emails that used to always come in fine. It's happening to all my accounts, so I don't think it's to do with the provider, especially since one is my Mac account. Any idea what's going on?

Some Albums Going into "Compliations" Folder

For some reason about 100 albums Ive loaded onto my iMac have gone into a folder in my "Music" folder called "Compilations" instead of the music folder with the name of the band.
Example: 6 of my Led Zeppelin albums in are in the proper "Led Zeppelin" folder ... but for some reason Physical Graffiti always goes into the "Compilations" folder.
I actually spent 2 hours one day moving all the albums back into their proper folders, only to find them BACK in "Compilations"
Anyone else have this issue or know why its happening?
Thanks
BRian Sullivan

Check the info tab for anything that is going into compilations. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not going into an Artist folder, right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu). Look for a tick in the "part of compilation" box.
To remove "part of compilation" from a whole album click on the first track and while holding down the shift key go to the last one and click on it. This will highlight the selection. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info, you be asked if you wan to update multiple items, say yes. In the box the opens change "Compilation" to No. The album will move automatically from the Compilations folder into the relevant artist folder.

Mac Tower Pro 10.8.5 keeps going into sleep mode

Purchased from Apple, refurbished 2012 Mac Tower Pro. At the same time, purchased a new Dell U2713HM, 27" monitor.
Have been operating on this new system since about the first week of December 2013.
Issue:
The computer has constantly gone into sleep mode after a few minutes of no activity. I can have iTunes radio playing, but the system still goes into sleep mode. As I am typing and moving the curser, the machine stays awake.
This has caused much frustration because when it goes into auto sleep mode, it quits all programs that I am in, and when it does this, I lose all the work I had accomplished. It litterally closes everything and goes to sleep in about 2-3 minutes of no activity.
BTW: the computer and monitor have all its new OEM cables that came in the box, when I purchased the units.
Solutions attempted:
System Preferences — Energy Saver: computer sleep and display sleep set to "never" and unclicked the box "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Dell settings: Turned off all energy savers.
Results:
Nothing. Problem persists.

I apologize for the angst. The problem has cost too much money in lost time and material because when it would automatically shut down after a few minutes, all my work was lost.
I misunderstood the terms of the warranty. Thank you for your input and patience. Much appreciated. For the benefit of others that experience this with a new Mac that auto shuts down. Check the following:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Security and Privacy.
3. Click on Advanced (bottom right corner)
4. If the first line is checked (Log out after 5 minutes of inactivity); uncheck it and then click OK button.
5. Be sure to click the lock before existing Security and Privacy.
Now the machine will cease shutting down programs to go into sleep mode as soon as machine is inactive for a few minutes.

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.

Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
Any help appreciated
Oh yes I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?

Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

Adjusting the size of an image going into Photoshop from LR2

At the bottom of the Adobe Camera Raw converter, there is a box that allows you to either make the default RAW file smaller or larger as it goes into PS. In Lightroom 2, I found the Edit In command, and the options to change to 16 bit and the color profile picker, but I don't see a command to change the size of the image.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's not there. It will only go into Photoshop at native resolution. Then it is one second work to scale it in Photoshop if you really need to.

BT Sport not working on my sky box

Hi
I registered for BT Sport at the beginning of July, and it has been activated, i know this cause I can access it on my phone, and computer, however it is not working on my sky box, I presume that the card no is wrong.
I have phoned the call centre but unfortunately they cant help me, they don't seem to understand my problem, and they told me to unplug my bt vision box, and when I said I have not got a bt vision box, he said he couldn't help me.
Could one of the mods look into this for me please
Thanks

I have spent most of the afternoon to find out why I keep getting the "wrong card" message on my freesatfromsky box and have got absolutely no where so far
The "help" message on the bt sport page says call BT - you do this and after being passed around for over an hour I finally gor through to someone who said that I was set up on the BT system so it's down to sky !!! Oh, and by the way, BT you never rang me back when you said you would!
Tried ringing them and all lines were busy - maybe a few others had the same issue ???
What a farce, will try again later once I've calmed down...

I am being asked for my password every time I delete an item, but nothing is going into my trash can. Can this be resolved please?

Every time I delete something I am asked for my password, which is very annoying. The deleted items are no longer going into my trash can, but are completely wiped from my computer!! Is it possible for a non-computer literate everyday user to re instate the trash can to its original function?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
