Turn off sleeping mode while backup data

Hi there,
i want to backup files (1,2 TB) to an extern hard disk overnight but the iMac always fell in sleeping mode. I tried the apps caffeine and should i sleep but nothing changes. Is there somebody to help.
Greetings, Marco

Have you tried  changing the built in settings?
System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver - set that to never
and
Energy Saver - set both computer and display sleep to never.
Don't forget to change them back when done.

  • What happens if I turn off airplane mode while I am in a foreign country?

    What happens if I turn off airplane mode briefly while in a foreign country? I need to delete video voice mails to get that red dot off and hopefully get my FaceTime to work again.

    To delete visual voicemails requires data or internet access via a carrier's cellular network. Visual voicemail access with the iPhone is not done via wi-fi. It is done via the cellular data or internet network only.
    Turning Airplane mode off will not turn wi-fi off.

  • How can I make my computer not turn off (sleep mode, or hybernate)? While plugged into the wall.

    I have two dogs, and i am trying to see which one is tearing up my couch while im away by recording via my built in camera and "iMovie". But after a few times trying, I relised that my computer "sleeps" or "hybernates" after only a half an hour. It is plugged in, and i went to System Prefrences > energy saver > then clicked on power adapter and moved both "computer sleep and display sleep" to never. turned off my screen saver. and still having issues with this. Am i missing somthing?

    Thank you Courcoul, i appericate your help. but if you would have read my whole description, you would have noticed i already tried that. "It is plugged in, and i went to System Prefrences > energy saver > then clicked on power adapter and moved both "computer sleep and display sleep" to never." i also did check the schedule times, and it is off, both wake up times, and sleep times. 

  • Turn off sleep mode when closing MacBook

    I used my flat screen TV as a monitor for the MacBook, but each time I closed the cover the MacBook goes into sleep mode. How do I shut this off, so it does not go to sleep mode when the cover is closed ?
    Thanks.

    There is no system setting for that. You can use an external keyboard and mouse and wake the MBP back up with the lid closed, that's 'clamshell mode'.

    The only alternative would be a 3rd party hack like InsomniaX or SleepLess.

  • Turn Off (sleep mode) Problem

    i have a problem with my ipod after i have played a video and i go back to the main menu and i hold down the play/pause button it does not hibernate or sleep or whatever you wanna call it.
    its fine after photos and songs is it just becasue of the memory and proce4ss usage or what
    normally to fix it i can leave it for 1 minute say and then it turns of just like normal or i can start to play a song then stop it then go back to the menu then its fine is this normal???
    P.s i have tried flicking on hold then off again and trying to turn off but i still have to wait????
      Windows XP Pro  

    yes but it does it every time plus after a minute it turnsa off fine and when its not turning off everything still works fiune its not frozen etc its making me think that maybe its just like the time it takes to wind down after playing a video fullscreen perhaps?

  • Turning off sleep mode during high CPU usage

    There isn't option to prevent going to sleep mode during high CPU or network usage. This is not professional for serious work like 3D rendering, video montage, downloading or sending large files. Windows is going to sleep during performing serious tasks.
    Setting different sleep mode values every time is no way because we didn't know how long these tasks will running.

    Running RHEL Linux, disables screen saver on OS and then proceded to diable sleep mode on monitor but it still goes to sleep. Is there a way to permantly disable?

    Have you already tried another connection?

  • Turn off sleep mode?

    is it possible for my computer to not go to sleep when it is closed? and how do i do it?
    thanks!

    I believe there may be some application that does it. But usually an external display and mouse does the trick. Close the machine, then plug in the external monitor and mouse/keyboard. It should turn on.

  • Turning off 'Sleep' in Restoring mode

    I'm recovering from a bad crash.  I'm in the process of restroing my computer from a time machine backup on a netword drive, but the screen dims and the computer goes to sleep every half and hour or so.  The time remaining is 51 hours, 48 minutes.  Is there some hidden way to make it NOT go to sleep... because eventually I am going to have to!

    This website tells you how to turn off sleep through terminal commands. Be sure to type in everything AS IS so that you don't accidentally do something bad. Hope this helps you.
    note: the easiest way to do this is to start off your recovery partition or internet recovery, if you're not able to fully boot into your os

  • ICloud Backup failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.

    iCloud Backup Failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.  Airplane mode is turned off and I am connected to wi-fi but still I can't backup.  What do I do now?

    Hi Barbara,
    I just had the same issue.
    resolution:
    get to your network settings - disable wifi, then enable 3G and cellular connection
    Now get back to icloud backup menu and try to enable. of course it wont work. back again to network settings switch wifi back on, and got to icloud again. This time it will allow you to set your backup
    cheers :-)

  • My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    My iPod nano will go into the sleep mode while a song is playing a second after the screen goes blank; the song will stop and I will then have to press the sleep/awake button to pick up where the song left off.  How do I fix this?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback to save battery power when the screen dims. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.
    If none of the above works, you need to take it to the Apple store or wherever you purchased it. I think they are still under warranty.

    Remove "Boom" and test.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Turn off safe mode

    I travel and at home I have additional use for Xperia Z1. It is used as a alarm clock. I would like to turn the sleep mode off so that I have the desktop clock displayed and not turn off. This allows me to check time when sleeping if I wake up for a short time.
    I would like to use the Xperia Z1 as a bed side clock when traveling and staying at hotels and not at home.
    Many thanks in advanace.

    Hi there,
    Maybe you could try to put your phone on the charging Dock overnight and then:
    Settings>Developer Options>choose "Stay Awake"(screen will never sleep while charging).
    If you do not have a "Developer Options" go to:
    Settings>About Phone>Build Number and then tap multiple times (8 +)
    Cheers.
    There is nothing impossible to him who will try.  A. t. G. (356BC - 323BC)

  • My iPhone 5 keeps turning off and on while charging

    I am trying to restore my iPhone 5, but it keeps turning off and on. It also turns off and on while charging. Is there anyway I can fix this? I did update it to the newest iOS.

    Hi terikins!
    Here is an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • IMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzard games

    About every 20 seconds my iMac enters sleep mode while playing Blizzrard games.  When I click the mouse or touch a key on the keyboard the iMac wakes up and the game is still running.  This has been happening more frequently over the past six weeks.  Now it occurs every twenty seconds.  I have turned off my sleep mode settings, reset the SMC, loaded the TechTool Deluxe and ran a diagnostic.  When TechTool Deluxe came to testing the video ram the utility crashed.  I ran TechTool Deluxe a second time and it crashed again while testing the video ram.  My iMac only has this problem playing Blizzard games.  I have contacted Blizzard and they don't have an answer.  Is it my video card? I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130 512 MB graphics card.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Likely is the Video card, but...
