Sleep converts to shutdown rather than wake

When I put my computer to sleep, it wakes up normally as long as I wake it within 10 minutes or so; if I wait longer, when I hit a key (shift) to wake it, it turns off instead of waking. (There's a light on a USB-powered card read that stays on when sleeping, but turns off when shut down., so I know exactly when it's happening.)
System preference settings:
Desktop & Screen Saver: start screen saver: never
Energy Saver: Computer sleep: never (i.e. only when I say so)
Display sleep: 10 min
all boxes unchecked
How can this be corrected so I can use sleep as intended?

Select in browser your movie, click Export on toolbar, choose iTunes, QT etc. then choose size of your file in opening window. And then click Export in this window.

I just installed the latest iMovie 10.0.2. Please don't say "look at the help menu" - it doesn't help. This is radically different than the version I'd been using. For starters it automatically converts to mp4 rather than .mov - that's my 1st question

Sorry for the long headline - I'm new to the support community and thought that was the post! I've been happily using my old version of iMovie - I don't even know the number - I guess it was 11? I just installed the most recent 10.0.2 and it is radically different from what I've been using. For starters, whereas my uploaded video used to be in the lower section, and I would edit up above, now it's reversed. Whereas I used to click on the transitions and drag a blur or whatever to my movie right while I was editing, now it's on a different screen. And the easy old Export file button is gone, where you could choose setting, file size, export as Quicktime movie - all gone - now it converts to mp4 and I STILL can't figure out how to get it back to .mov
Please don't say "read the Help manual" - I tried - there's nothing there about any of this. And by the way, I'm not a techie - I taught myself what I needed to know about the old iMovie and am now lost so please no snarks. I would appreciate any help.

G5 shutting down rather than sleeping

Hi,
In the past few days my iMac G5 (approx. three years old) has been shutting itself down rather than going into sleep mode. I know it is not an issue of sleeping and not reviving because the power pulse light is not on. No problems in normal operation (i.e. does not shut down suddenly or unexpectedly during use).
I haven't done anything out of the ordinary or added any software recently. I did have to unplug the computer rather than shutting down properly over the weekend when it froze and wouldn't respond to command/option/escape while I was finishing a backup of iTunes (manual backup, last disc out of 13).
We normally let the computer sleep rather than shut it down--I downloaded & ran iJanitor last night on the rec of some other past discussions on similar topics but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.

I am having the exact same issue that BSeque described initially. For me, the shutdown only happens after I send the iMac to sleep - for example, it will shut itself off overnight. It never occurs if I am actively using any applications.
It also seems to be taking a long time when "finding local drives" on startup which it never did previously (about two minutes of just that message on the screen during startup). My wife has reported a loud noise upon startup on several recent occasions, and I have also had to pull and replace the power cord several times recently when the normal power up procedure wouldnt work.
I am also in the number range for the repair extension, but am interested in knowing if there are any steps to take before I bring it to the Apple Store.
After reading a suggestion on another post, I pulled some of the system logs. Here is a sample sequence for one of the time periods when shutdown occurred involuntarily:
Sep 14 20:44:17 localhost pppd[261]: Connection terminated.
Sep 14 20:44:17 localhost pppd[261]: Connect time 184.3 minutes.

MacBook Pro turns off rather than sleeping

I recently had my MacBook Pro serviced by best buy as it is covered under their extended warranty. None of the speakers were working and they had to replace the speakers as well as the logic board. Since I have gotten it back the sound is working again fine but I have noticed that every time the MacBook should go to sleep (such as when it is closed or sits idle for a period of time) it turns off rather than go to sleep. I must then turn it on and go through the rebooting process every time I use it. I am just wondering if I am just missing a setting,more is there now something else wrong with my computer?

You either need to plug in your charger and if that isn't working if your machine is less than a year old take it in to your nearst Apple Store and let them deal with it. Or if you are out of warrantee you will need to get a new battery for your Mac

How can I convert an iphoto to a file rather than a picture?

I have several friends who would rather get my email with a file attached rather than photos? How can I do this with Iphoto?

Try this: in Mail's Composing preference pane set the format of the emails to plain text. Then once the photos are in the email Control-click on them and select "Show as icon" in the contextual menu.
That might let them see the photos as icons/attachments rather the view the photos. A lot depends on how they have their email client setup.
The sure fire way is to zip/compress the photos and adding the zipped file to the email.
The recipient will have to unzip the file at the other end to get the image files.

It opens into my recent calls list rather than the home screen

Every time I receive a call when my phone is 'asleep' the phone goes back to sleep state when the call is hung up. As it should.
Weirdness is though…when I next wake the phone it always opens straight into my recent calls list, rather than the home screen.
It only happens on incoming calls, and only when the call is received while the phone's asleep.
I've done a restore (for something else) but it didn't remedy this.
Anyone else seeing the same?

Sure about what? That there is nothing wrong with your phone or that the OS works that way...the answer is yes to both questions. Works the same if you go into settings but let the phone go to sleep, next time you unlock your phone, you'll be in settings. If you don't want your phone to do that, hit the home button after a call.

Thank you so much wchp, this is brilliant. I have had this annoying problem for a long time. I eventually rang Mac support, they did not know how to fix the problem as you have suggested so they instigated many hardware replacements which eventually left my iMac severely crippled. They eventually replaced it with the latest model. But I spent two months working with a disabled computer which really interfere with my work.
Your solution appears to have solved my problem, at least so far, but I am hopeful that it is a permanent fix. I hope that your suggestions are taken up by Apple support. This may solve many users problems and avoid Apple making expensive fixes that don't actually work.
I thought that the new iMac would not have the 'Wake up from sleep by painting in the login window' problem but it did, this really annoyed me. Anyway now the problem appears to be solved, it's not I will repost and keep working on it. Thanks again.

HT201263 How to access Recover Mode after selecting Update rather than Restore during reset?

Looked like I screwed things up on my iPad badly. My iPad no longer recognized my passcode (I know it was right since I use my iPad many times daily) and became disabled. I followed the instructions for the factory reset, however, I selected update rather than restore in hopes that it would purge the password and get me back in. The result, my iPad is still disabled, holding the sleep/wake button no longer exposes the slide to power off the iPad, and holding down the home button does not get me back to recovery mode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hey eng513,
There is another method to getting your iPad back up from being disabled. If you have an iCloud account signed in, you can erase it from iCloud.com and then go through the setup steps to get you back up and running. Take a look at the article below to help you out.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

Sleep, no pulsing light, won't wake.

17" half dome, G4 Imac. This machine is rarely turned off, but is put to sleep via the Apple menu when not required. This has behaved perfectly until recently, but now after a period when the system was expected to be asleep I sometimes find it apparently hung, without the usual pulsing light, and not responsive to key press or mouse clicks, but with the fan running. From this state the only recourse is to shut down by holding the power button for 3 seconds and then restarting in the usual way. There seem to be no harmful after effects
I suspect this may occur when sleep is invoked by an energy saver time out, rather than a direct command. An experiment setting time out to 1 or 2 minutes shows a partial version of this effect: the time out provokes apparent sleep but with fans running and no flashing light, but system will still wake. Possibly the failure to wake is sensitive to the amount of time the system remains in the improper sleep state, since the tests involved only a few minutes in that state.
Another possibility is that the whole issue was provoked by recent software updates. The software is generally kept up to date, but I cannot be sure how long the underlying problem was present before the symptoms first appeared.
Any suggestions will be welcome. In the short term the obvious answer is not to allow energy saver to time out, but I would rather know what is going on, and maybe this will help uncover some deeper bug or problem.
Regards, Bill.

Forcing Audition to copy media rather than reference

Hi all,
How do you force Ausition to copy media locally rather than reference it by default. So that when I drag a sound effect from my networked library on to a multitrack session it copies it, rather than referencing the original. By doing this I am safe to make modifications to the sound file and when playing back files they are playing back locally rather than over the network.
I know i can do this to individual files, but it's a pain. Ideally I want this to the default behaviour.
Thanks
R

Thanks!
Unfortuantely the iterative nature of working in sound design makes this unworkable as I'm constantly adding and tweaking new sounds; I never know when I'm finished adding/swapping out sounds so I'd be constantly having to exprot the session. I guess I'll have to stick with what I'm currently doing which is to 'convert to unique copy' (or whatever it's called) each file that isn't copied over. It's just a bit of a drag to always have to worry about this when a simple check box in the settings would fix this.
Thanks again!

Page set up as an image rather than text: why?

I built my website using iWeb and added several of the same type of page. For some reason, 2 of the 6 pages appear as images rather than text. Seemingly search engines don't pick up the information on them in that case and since these are my two most important pages, I need to fix this. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks.

I downloaded the software you suggested
What software was that? I didn't recommend any software in this topic. Are you referring to the software I suggested for adding "alt" titles to photos? That shouldn't have anything to do with text boxes getting converted to images. What type of page are you working with, welcome, photo, etc? Have you set iWeb's Texts preferences so that it will display this indicator when a text box is converted to an image:
Make sure the text boxes are not overlapping any other object on the page. Can you provide the URL so we can view the problem first hand?

Can iWeb publish with JPEGS rather than PNG?

Is there any way to make iWeb use only jpegs rather than PNG files when publishing? Also, I think a picture quality slider would be helpfull for compression and site size management... thanks

You can minimize the chances of iWeb converting your jpgs into PNGs if you pay attention to the following things...
1. Scale your jpgs to the resolution they are to be used...don't let iWeb do the scaling if possible (like dropping a photo in and then adjusting the size handles). Target your resolution and then drop the photo in and select "Use Original Size" in the Inspector Shape tab.
2. Do not apply effects to your jpgs....if you do, iWeb will automatically convert to PNG and the file size will be even bigger! These effects include drop shadows, rotation, frames, opacity changes, etc.
3. Be aware that in some templates, dropping a photo into iWeb automatically applies frames, drop shadows, and/or reflections. You can deselect these enhancements in the Inspector panel after dropping the photos in. If you don't, iWeb will convert to PNG.
4. Do not use the "Use image as background" option. Better to drag an exactly sized jpg photo into iWeb and push it to the very back layer than to use this option.
You are right, iWeb or at least iPhoto needs to have some sort of user control over jpg compression. I use another app for this purpose called "Downsize". On the plus side, it also lets me apply shadows and frames to photos and saves the finished image with effects and all as a jpg.

PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?

How do I get my PHP forms submitted as an attachment rather than email?
Meaning, if I set up a form on my website and someone completes and submits it, how can I get the responses as an attachment rather than in email text?
Much appreciated.

Hi Gunter
I have spent so much time on this now.
I have tried to convert the php to an attached .txt or .csv file.
Learnt a lot but still can not seem to get the form data to be submitted as an attached file.
Here are two of my attempts, please assist:

//The Attachment
$cr = "\n";
$data = "Email" . ',' . "First Name" . ',' . "Last Name" . $cr;
$data .= "$email" . ',' . "$firstName" . ',' . "$lastName" . $cr;
$fp = fopen('reservationTest.csv','a');
fwrite($fp,$data);
fclose($fp);
// Mail to
$email = "myemailaddress";
//subject
$subject = "Test Budget reservation";
//Header
$headers("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
$headers("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=reservationTest.csv");
$headers("Pragma: no-cache");
$headers("Expires: 0");
//Message
$message = "".
"Email: $email" . "\n" .
"First Name: $firstName" . "\n" .
"Last Name: $lastName";

    $emailSubject = 'Test Form';
    $headers = "From: $email\n";
$message = "A new reservation test.\n

Display description of report rather than the technical name

Hi all
I have made a few reports using the Bex report designer that have been emailed to end users by the bex broadcast facility as a PDF
However, when end users receive the email the attached PDF received has the technical name rather than the description.
Does anyone know how to change this so that end users receive the PDF with the description rather than the technical name.
Many thanks

Yes the DOS 8.3 shortname format is the only accepted for the ThinkVantage button registry key.
One general way to obtain DOS 8.3 formats from a path except from DIR /x in a CMD window is to use execute a VBSCRIPT file that uses the FileSystemObject class
If you save the following sample vbscript code to a text file with .vbs extension and open it in file explorer it will write the short path of LSC.exe to a file text file named "Path_DOS83.txt":
'Convert a full path to DOS 8.3 Shortname format and save to text file
With CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
.CreateTextFile("Path_DOS83.txt",True).Write(.GetFile("C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Solution Center\LSC.exe").ShortPath)
End With
What the code does it creates a File System Object instance and calls .CreateTextFile and writes the ShortPath of the File object obtained by the .GetFile function.
