Standby problem iMac

Hi, i have iMac 21.5" with iCore 5 and OS 10.7.4
I have two problems:
1) i can't update iTunes to 10.6.3: the answer is that the update is fake and will be downloaded and checked next Software Update. But when i launch soft upd anything change
2) i have the 10 minutes default Standby. During standby, if i touch the keyboard soon (5 minutes after standby) it's ok. If i wait 10-15 minutes after standby, the iMac screen stay dark and start a continous sound "beep beep beep". I must restart with power button
Please, have you some idea?
Many thanks!!!

Three beeps mean the RAM (memory) is probably bad and needs replacing.

X200 standby problem without ultrabase

I have a refurb X200 and just the basic software so far Win XP Pro 32bit. I updated power manager and drivers and patch from the Lenovo site. When I first put it into standby either by closing the lid, Fn F4 or the start menu it goes into standby in about 3 secs. and recovers in the same time when asked to. On the second and subsequent times I try to use standby (after a reboot) it takes about 16mins to reach standby - in the meantime it shows a screen with "preparing for standby" and the system is inaccessible. When it finally goes into standby it can be recovered in the normal 2-3 secs.The only way to gain control while it is going into standby is a hard shut down. Following this I again have one normal standby operation. I note people having standby problems with the ultrabase but I haven't tried this yet.

I would like to share with you that it might be because of software issue.
To diagnose, I would suggest you to please update the Power Manager software and also update the Bios of your notebook from the below mentioned web link.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/default.page
After this, please restart the notebook and check if the issue resolved.

Sameer

Standby problem - Z60m

In Windows XP, sometimes when I put my Z60m into standby mode, it will not boot back up. It normally will enter the standby state correctly, with the standby light being the only indicator that is lit. After some amount of time (usually between ten to fifteen minutes), the battery light will spontaneously light up. While this light is on as well, there is no way to bring the system out of standby. Sometimes the battery light turns off again, and it is possible to bring the system back, but often it stays lit and I have to do a forced power-off and reboot the system completely. This is a bit frustrating; has anyone else had the same problem? My first thought was something to do with BIOS.

Dear Friend !
Get used to it. It is LENOVO. Their upper-most-class million dollar computers (like my Z61p) worth a piece of **bleep**. It looks perfect. It can give you a wonderfull short-term experience. But when you use it day after day you realise that it is UNSTABLE. I'll never recommend lenovo to anyone. Their support is even more LOL !
---- snitt --- by the way i OF COURSE have the same standby problem. I just dont post it. What for ?
They dont give a **bleep** LENOVO&MS are working on their next top-class systems. PROFIT is what matters these days. Not Quality.

Fans run full speed on stand-by and burner problem iMac 24-inch early 2009

In standby sometimes the fans are running at full speed. Also with burning some CD or DVD's the burner makes an awful grunting sound.
For a 2 year old Mac I did not expect to have these kind of problems!
Resetting the iMac does not help. Might this be a Lion problem?
Optical Drive is running at 4800rpm, normal 798rpm
Hard Drive at 5903rpm, normal 1599rpm
CPU at 3598rpm normal, 1200rpm
The burning problem only happens sometimes, not with all.

What did you do to reset the imac? Problems like these are "sometimes" solved with an SMC reset.

Start up problems iMac 27"

Would anyone be able to help?
The power in the house has been down, and now my iMac doesn't start. (it is a bit more than a year old). When I push the power button on the back of the screen, the fan starts on quite high rev and go for a minute or so, then it turns itself off. Some times thescreen lights up and the tone signal goes off, but the it does again.
I have ahd this problem onece before, and the it was cured with a Power Conroler Unit something reset. I can find that instructions on the internet unfortunateley.
Can someone help?
Many thanks in advance Ove

The first thing you should do after getting the machine up and running is buy yourself a decent UPS, they can be for less than $100. Get one with a USB connection so you can connect it to your iMac and then control it.
I would recomnend doing a SMC and PRAM reset first:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Logical Standby Problem

My environment is Primary database is 11.1.0.7 64bit on Windows 2003 Enterprise 64bit. Logical is on the same platform and oracle version but a different server. I created a physical standby first and it applied the logs quickly without any issues. I received no errors when I changed it over to a Logical standby database. The problem that is happening is as soon as I issue the command "alter database start logical standby apply;" the CPU usage goes to 100% and the SQL apply takes a long time to apply a log. When I was doing this on 10G I never ran into this, as soon as the log was received, it was applied within a couple of minutes. I don't think it could be a memory issue since there is plenty on the Logical standby server. I just can't figure out why the SQL apply is so slow and the CPU usage skyrockets. I went through all of the steps in the guide "Managing a Logical Standby Database" from Oracle and I don't see anything wrong. The only difference between the two databases is that on the Primary I have Large Page support enabled, I don't on the Logical. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to use this Logical to report off of.

Thanks for the responses. I have found what is causing the problem. I kept noticing that the statements it was slowing down on were the ones where data was being written to the SYS.AUD$ table in the System tablespace on the Logical Standby database. A quick count of the records showed that I had almost 6 million records in that table. After I decided to truncate SYS.AUD$ on the Logical, the archive logs started to apply normally. I wonder why the Logical has a problem with this table and the Primary doesn't. I didn't even know auditing was turned on on the Primary database, it must be enabled by default. Now I know why my System table space has grown from 1gb to 2gb since November.
Now that I fixed it for now, I am unsure what to do to keep this from happening. Can I turn off Auditing on the Logical and keep it on for the Primary? Would this stop data from being written to the SYS.AUD$ table on the Logical? It doesn't appear that there is any kind of cleanup on this table that is offered by Oracle, I guess I can just clean out this table occasionally but that is just another thing to add to the list of maintenance tasks. I notice that you can also write this audit data to a file on the OS. Has anyone here done that?

Re: Standby Problem Windows XP with Satellite L350-172

Hello
After waking up the system it works a few minutes proper but than i see bluescreen abd immediate reboot.
Do you also have those problems?
What can i do

Hi!
On my Satellite L300 I dont have problems with the standby.
Maybe a driver causes the problem or your BIOS should be updated.

Macbook Start and Standby Problem

Hi
My Macbook Pro (Late 2009) seems to have a Problem with any kind of starting up. When i go into standby mode,(close the macbook) and open it again, it turns on for a short second, and shut down completely. It is the same with starting up when it was shut down, except it isnt always a second, sometimes it loads approximately 99% and goes off again, sometimes i have to push the power button a few times. It only starts/wake up after standby when i plug in the battery cable. And this is weird: when i press the option key at the startup, wait a few seconds, and choose the macintosh hd for the startup disk, it starts immediately. Sadly, there is no workaround for standby. That Problem started a few months ago.
I thought it was caused by the 5 years old battery, but i just replaced the battery and the hard drive a few days ago, and its still there.
I also reinstalled the OS, checked the hard drive with the disk utility, and tried a pram and srm reset.
Still no chance to start it normally, help please

70 is fine. If you want to keep it cooler, as I do because I use it on my lap, you can download smcFanControl for free from www.macupdate.com. It allows you to set your fans at a higher speed than Apple did, but doesn't allow you set it lower or interfere with acceleration under stress. If I set my fan at 3000 rpm minimum, which is silent, my temps stay in the 50s. At 3500, which is barely audible in a silent room, I can stay in the 40s. It's up to you.
The left side of my macbook can also be pushed in, or it seems as though it can, but that's been true for months without a sign of any problem.

Red light headphone jack problem iMac 27" 2011

I have a problem with internal speakers. I searched forums and I think is a problema about the connector, the red light in headphone jack is on. I cannt hear from internal speakers sometimes and now it's allways. I need to plug a headphone or external spekaers to get sound.
I buy the iMac about 2 month ago. May I send the computer to the store or can I fix it?

"Sleep" Problem iMac (Manual)

Commencing possibly two months ago I found that my usual procedure of manually sleeping my iMac (Apple | Sleep) at bedtime became erratic: Quite frequently (~75%) the iMac would instantly reawaken after about 1 or 2 seconds!
Discussing this problem with Apple Care, it was suggested that resetting the Power Management feature might solve the problem (shut down iMac, disconnect power, depress "on" switch 10 seconds, reconnect power).
This procedure seemed to correct the issue (but note that problem was never 100%). But it soon reappeared. I repeated the Power Management reset... and again it seemed to work. But... all was illusory!
Any "cures" known? I have a case number with Apple Care, but doubt they have anything new to suggest

If you select the option to preserve users and network preferences, an Archive and Install isn't such a problem.
However, my suggestion would be to Install on a freshly erased external hard drive using your original discs that came with the computer. Operate with that plain system long enough to determine if the problem no longer exists. I would then update that system to the last system version you used where you did not experience the wireless problem.
At this point you can then try an Archive and Install on your main drive then return to the working version using the appropriate Combo Updater. Just be sure to select the option to preserve users and network settings.
Beyond this I have no other options for you given you say you've tried everything else. You could take it to an Apple service center to determine if there is a valid hardware issue that can be fixed. Even marginal RAM could cause such a problem but would be difficult to track down because RAM tests may not reveal a problem.

HELP: iPhoto 6.0.6 memory usage problem, iMac getting *slow*

Hi,
I have a 20" iMac with 2 Gig RAM.
I have iPhoto 6.0.6 with lots and lots of pictures and little movies (taken with an old digital camera) -- a "get info" on the "iPhoto Library / Originals" folder says there are 9836 items in there.
When I open iPhoto, the Activity Monitor indicates iPhoto is using 130meg real memory, 130meg virtual memory. With every "page down" in iPhoto (the thumbnails are running about 6 items across) about 50 meg of memory gets added to real memory, and even more gets added to virtual memory.
After just a few minutes of usage it now looks like this:
Real Memory: 382.43 MB
Virtual Memory: 1.18 GB
Eventually the computer gets extremely slow and unresponsive; I've seen the iPhoto memory usage as high as:
Real Memory: 1+ GB
Virtual Memory: 2+ GB
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can fix this problem?

I have to say that the Virtual Memory numbers compare quite okay with both my Macs here, the Actual Seems slightly higher but noting spectacular. That said, the highest you’ve seen do see quite extraordinary.
Something to try:
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and make a library there. Import some pics and see if the problem is repeated there.

Logical standby problem on primary DB updates

Hi all!
I am quite new to standby databases, but I managed to sucessfully setup logical standby (11g on linux).
However, I got some problem - when I try to insert some data into Primary DB using simple JDBC statements, I sometimes get exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-16224: Database Guard is enabled
And this happens not all the time - sometimes I can insert and commit, but sometimes I get exception.
This never happens when I am trying to insert data directly from sqlplus or TOAD.
looks to me like java application sometimes is connecting to standby database.
any suggestions?
Thanks

Check for example, whether both DBs present the same service and whether you have an oracle net configuration like
myservice =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_A)(PORT = 1521))
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host_B)(PORT = 1521))
      (LOAD_BALANCE = yes)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = myservice)
)You should make sure that the productive service is only presented by the primary database. See this explanation:

Found: Intel Turbo Memory causing T61 wake-up from sleep / standby problems

This is related to my earlier post, but I've found a new cause and thought to post a new message to make it easier for others to find it if they are running into similar problems.
My system
T61 model 7662-CTO (built July 2007)
Vista Business w/ SP1
Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M (driver version: 7.15.11.7597)
Intel Turbo Memory (driver version: 1.7.0.1029)
Intel Wireless card 4965AGN (driver version: 11.5.0.36)
Thinkpad BIOS (version 7LETC4WW, 2.24)
no card reader or integrated webcam
I was having problems with Vista failing to wake-up after being put into sleep (or standby) mode. Instead of returning to the desktop, the system immediately crashes and reboots. After many hours, I reformatted the drive and re-installed Vista (business edition). Before running the Lenovo system update, I installed Vista Service Pack 1, then I ran Windows Update and installed any remaining update hotfixes. (I never delayed restarting the machine when prompted)
I incrementally began installing Lenovo drivers, and after the Power Management driver determined that hibernate was working.
The 'sleep' option was unavailable until I installed the Nvidia Quadro NVS 140M drivers. Then sleep worked!
Note: Intel Turbo Memory driver was uninstalled at this time.
After all other lenovo programs were installed, I installed the driver for the Intel Turbo Memory. I put the computer to sleep, and it crashed/rebooted upon being woken up.
I uninstalled the Turbo Memory driver from the Device Manager, and normal sleep -> wakeup function resumed.
Because the sleep / standby feature requires the Nvidia Quadro drivers, and the Vista OS and the Intel Turbo Memory must properly work together for the turbo memory to work, I imagine the failure involves some driver mismatch between these three. I cannot recall now whether this issue was present when I first received the machine over a year ago (pre-installed Vista Ultimate, service pack 1 not even out yet). Perhaps Vista SP1 made some change that the Turbo Memory driver doesn't like, particularly with the Nvidia Quadro drivers in the mix too.
Just FYI for anyone interested or curious.

Remove the two aftermarket memory modules and observe the results.
