  • Should i be turning off my computer every night

    should i be turning off my computer every night

    Hi,
    This would be largely down to personal choice.  I would turn it off - why waste electricity on something you're not using

  • Some hacker (that is well known to me) is turning my new iphone 4 on remotely and although I turn off my phone every night, I wake up to see it has been turned on by itself, the same hacker was hacking into my old phone. Any suggestions? please

    Hi Friends
    I got a problem which I thought somebody online may be able to help me.
    I know for fact that someone is turning my iphone on remotely and hacks into it. the same person used to hack into my HTC phone before that is why I switched to iphone4, but I see my phone is being turned on by itself in middle of the night!! Could anybody help me please!! Thanks so much

    Doubtful your phone is being hacked (unless this person had possession of the phone in the past and you or he/she jailbroke it) but turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi or put it into airplane mode and see if anything changes. I don't blame you for being concerned about your phone coming on by itself but, as the saying goes, when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras.  It is more likely to be something innocent.
    What proof do you have that this person hacked into your old phone?  What proof do you have that this person is hacking into your new phone, other than you've noticed the phone being on?
    If you know "for a fact" it is being hacked and by whom, get together your definitive proof of it being hacked and definitive proof of who is doing it and visit your local police department or visit these guys: http://www.cybercrime.gov/index.html.  I believe it is a felony.
    You could also take it to an Apple store or give Apple Service a call and see what they think.  Maybe they can give you a few reasons why it is coming on by itself or can help you figure out if something else is going on.

  • Anyway to turn off Email Alerts at night?

    I am looking for a way to turn off email alerts at night.  I just don't want the sound to wake me up.  I know I can manually change my volume each night to phone calls only, but I was wondering if there was an automatic way of doing this?
    I don't want to auto on/off my phone either because it's is the only phone I use in my house.  Never know if there will be an emergency at 2 AM and someone needs to call you.
    Thanks for any suggestions!
    Solved!

    or go into the clock mode and in options select "enter bedside mode".
    I use this and no email or notifications ring until I "exit bedsidemode:.
    Hope this helps

  • IMac turns on at midnight, every night

    My iMac turns on at midnight every night. The energy saver settings says it will not turn on itself, even though it does. What's the problem?

    Hi srojtas
    First reset the iMac's SMC (System Management Controller) exactly following the instructions in the following link.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446-en
    Then in the "Energy Saver Preference / Options" be sure that the box "Restart automatically after a power failure" is unchecked, just in case something else is interrupting the iMac's power at that time.
    Lastly are you using elgato iTV? If so look at the discussions thread below!
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4532472&#4532472
    imac973 say's
    +Ok, the problem seems to be resolved... I have deleted the file named "Wakein" located in /Libreria/Application Support/EyeTv...+
    +Then I deleted and then reinstalled Eye Tv and...OK! my iMac doesn't restart by itself!!!+

  • My iphone 4 turns off and on when ever i try to reboot and turn off each and every 5 second?

    hi there,
                my iphone 4 turns off and on in each and every 5 seconds when ever i try to reboot and turn off. i was just trying to get ridge of this things. so culd u help me plz !!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Kids are using the WiFi all night long and not sleeping... How can I temporarily turn off the WiFi at night using the Airport Extream or Airport Utility?  I must keep the guest network up as I have a tenant in an apartment over my garage using that.

    My kids are up all night streaming Netflix and using the WiFi on their iPads and Apple TV. The next day they don't want to get up and go to school. Is there a way I can set up a separate access point for just the kids in AirPort Extreme and then turn that one off when i go to bed? Or somehow turn off the main network when I go to bed, without having to reconfigure the entire router the next day, and then simply turn it back on the next morning?  I have to keep the Guest Network up as I have a paying tenant living in an apartment over my garage that uses that network.
    In the event it's not possible with the AirPort Extreme, any other suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can configure the AirPort Extreme for Timed Access using the AirPort Utility. Basically what you are doing is restricting the time of a wireless device by its MAC address has access to the base station's wireless network.
    To access this feature: AirPort Utility > Select the Extreme > Edit > Network tab > Enable Access Control: Timed Access Control...

  • My iphone 3G Backlight keeps turning off and on every 15 - 20 seconds.

    My iphone 3G keeps turning off and on (only backlight) every 15 - 20 seconds when in sleep mode. When I say turning on and off, it is not switch on-off, it is only back light that gets turn on and off. This is causing the battery to exhaust quickly.

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
    If the problem persits, set it up "as new device". If this does not work, do it again, this time not using the backup after the new set up.
    If still no luck, get it serviced or visit your nearest Apple Store.

  • Way to Turn Off Auto Backup every time iPod Touch connected to computer?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Is there a way to Turn Off Auto Backup when one connects iPod Touch to computer?
    Auto backup to have started ever since 3.0 update.
    Sometimes I am just adding one track from iTunes to my iPod.
    Don't want to go through the 15-20 min. backup process each and every time.
    1. I uncheck "Sync Applications," but the default seems to Check it each time I open iTunes.
    2. Under iTunes/Preferences - Under "Devices" - I checked "Disable Automatic Syncing."
    3. I always have Music, Movies, etc. unchecked under "Sync" as I prefer to Sync these manually.
    So I am puzzled - why - when I plug in my iPod Touch, iTunes opens and automatically starts "backing up."

    if you're familiar with the terminal, exit iTunes, open up a terminal window and type this:
    "defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true" (without the qoutes)
    and press return. That will disable the automatic backup, and you will NOT have a new backup if the device craps. Please remeber that.
    To turn backup back on: exit iTunes, open up a terminal window and type this:
    "defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false" (without the qoutes)
    and press return.
    Now the backup is turned back on.

  • IPad turns "off" by itself every 2 minutes

    I just started using my Apple iPad 32GB WiFi yesterday. Whether I am connected to the Net or not-connected, whether I am doing-stuff on it or not-doing - it just turns itself off every 2 minutes. I have to restart it by pressing on the 'Home' button. The iPad is fully charged (84% - the battery percentage indicator says). Is this a hardware defect? Do I have to return it to Apple? It has the standard OS it comes with, I have not updated any OS. Also I synched it with iTunes (9, I think). Please help.

    same to me.
    Just opened the new iPad and while installing it started turn off and on by itself.
    I tried restoring from itunes and resetting from the ipad.
    Nothing.
    The next day I called support and they told me to reset.
    Did it again.
    It seemed to fix it and for 24 hours it did not turn off.
    This morning it started again: on and off every 2 minutes, 5 times in the row.
    I am resetting again right now.

  • How do I turn off email notifications every time I use iCloud on my iPad?

    Since I loaded 8.0.2 every time I use my iPad mail or app store I get an email notification that someone just logged in using my apple id.  How do i stop that?

    I Like rotation too much to turn it off. I was just reading an Apple support forum, and there are lots of others that think there should be a controller for this feature as you call it.
    thanx tho

  • Should I be turning off my macbook at night or putting it to sleep?

    I just got it and my last HP laptop was horribblee the battery life was so short. I want to keep this running as good as possible and keep the battery life good and not mess up this laptop too. I use it everyday and I keep it plugged in mostly but is it safer to turn it off at night or just put it to sleep?

    Sleep.

  • Turn off notifications sounds at night? (Z3)

    Hi All
    I am a new proud owner of a Z3, I love it!
    Well apart from this....
    I get woken up at night with Facebook notifications, emails and such buzzing and bleeping in the night.
    I cannot turn my phone on silent as i'm on-call for my job and need my phone to ring in the night if someone calls.
    I used to have a Samsung Glaxy S3 before this, it had a feature (i forget the name) and worked great. I wrongly presumed this was a blanket feature for Android phones...
    After googling i've noticed some people favour 3rd party apps. But cmon Sony - surely i cant be the only one suffering?
    Thanks in advance for any tips.
