When I leave my imac unattended for about 15 minutes, instead of it going to sleep, it shuts off entirely.  Is there any way I can have it go to sleep after about 15 minutes of inactivity, without it shutting off entirely?

You are correct as I tried that and still have the problem.  I did the pmset -g in termal you suggest and here is mine.  This original post is my exact problem that has driven me crazy for far to long.  Can you help WZZZ?

  • I sent my Iphone 5c in for repair and when they sent it back my sim card wasn't in it is there any way i can have them send it back or do I need to get a new sim card for it?

    You'll have to get a new one from your carrier. I believe the shipping instructions for mail in service explicitly tell you to take it out as you will most likely not receive the same phone back. Apple doesn't repair most phones, they replace them.

  • Is there any way I can have a box sent to my house for my broken iPhone...with out calling?

    Is there any way I can have a box sent to my house for my broken iPhone...with out calling? Preferably online.

    You could try your nearest Genius Bar; in order to decide whether or not a repair/replacement is necessary, a human being would have to troubleshoot and assess the situation by talking to you.

  • When I refresh a page, a popup comes asking my confirmation because firefox will need repeat an action, so is there any way I can disable this?

    Every time I refresh a page, a popup:
    "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."
    ...appears.
    Is there any way I can disable this popup?
    Thanks for the help :)

    Thanks for the help everyone but I have tried safe mode, disabling addons, etc, it does not fix the problem..
    Is there any way to disable this popup in the about:config?

  • My phone's screen is smashed, I can't open the passcode and my wifi is turned off. Is there any way I can back up my iCloud still?

    I took a bunch of photos over the weekend before my phone got crushed. My iCloud hasn't backed up anything since before the weekend. My phone still turns on and charges, but the screen is completely smashed out so I can't enter my passcode to upload anything to itunes. My wifi connection is turned off as well. Is there any way that I can get the photos backed up to the iCloud before I restore everything onto my new phone?

    There must be something amiss here. Your Camera Roll would only have everything up to the last backup, but Photo Stream should be current. From the iCloud Troubleshooting Support article:
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll are included in your iCloud backup and  will download to your iOS device during the restore process.
    Photos in your Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they are not part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos uploaded to My Photo Stream  for 30 days. To keep the photos in your photo streams on your device and make them part of your  backups, save these photos to your Camera Roll  or another album.
    To view   My Photo Stream or a shared photo stream,   make sure the photo stream features are  turned on in Settings > Photos & Camera.
    To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
    To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
    Your device needs to be connected to Wifi to get the entire Photo Stream pushed back to it, and it can take some time. But there is no reason why those later photos should not be in your Photo Stream, if you were signed onto the same iCloud account when you were taking those photos, and if you had Photo Stream turned on....
    Not sure what might be going on....

  • HT4085 Is there any way I can have the rotation lock off but not have to set my iPad to mute?

    For some reason my iPad has done something strange, either I have to lock the rotation or mute some of the sounds....I didn't have to do either of these before, is there anyway I can have both working at the same time?

    I have posted this many times in order to try to help users understand how this works. Hopefully, it will make things clearer for you.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

    I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

    You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

  • Is there any way i can have more than one login accounts other than the administration account i have when i first set up my computer?

    I have a Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8) and i am trying to set up an account for someone who regularly logs onto my guest account. I am doing this so whenever they are here and need to use my computer, they can use it without using my account( the admin account) or guest account( where the have to log into guest account and work on whatever it is they needed to do, then unfortuanatly have to erase all files from that day so they can log out )
    I still want it to be an account for that person to have when they are here, but NOT guest account. Just an additional account.  ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!   Thanks in advance! <3

    OH MY! THAT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME THE WHOLE TIME!!
    THANKS A LOT!!

  • HT204053 Hi I've just purchased a iMac which is great, my problem is that I've a apple id account and also my wife has one, is there any way we can have two accounts i.e. separate accounts on the iMac with individual iTunes accounts, appreciate help pleas

    Hi ive just purchased an IMac and encountered an issue i didnt think of put hopefully someone can help? Ive a apple account and also the wife both with seperate itunes accounts etc. Is it possible to have two profiles with seperate accounts on our system, appreciate any help..

    I believe you can accomplish this by setting up separate user profiles for each of you on your Mac (System Preferences>Users & Groups (click the lock symbol if locked and provide the administrator name and password, then click the "+").  That should allow you to sign into separate iCloud accounts and maintain separate iTunes libraries within your respective user accounts.

  • When I export a PNG file on illustrator, I get random empty space along with my exported object. Is there any way I can make just my object export and nothing more?

    This is an example of my problem. This icon is the sole object in this document, and is the only thing being exported here. Yet when I do export it, a random bar of white space is exported along with it. I am currently using Illustrator to design the art for a video game, meaning that this empty space plays havoc with my end product, and I have to meticulously crop anything I export. Since I do have to make hundreds of individual sprites for this, I would love to learn how to fix this problem and save myself a lot of time. So, what exactly am I doing wrong here, and how can I fix it?

    quicklite,
    I believe the resulting/final size may extend just a tiny bit above a whole point/pixel (value) on the pixel grid.
    You may see by Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds (if needed), then select one of the top Reference Points in the Transform palette and look at the Y value measured in points/pixels.
    If that is the case, the solution would be to get rid of that tiny bit.

  • I have a late 2008 iMac with dual intels and the fans won't come on anymore.  About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    About every 1 1/2 hours, it automatically shuts down to cool off.  Is there any way to manually turn it on?  Or, do they have to be replaced?

    I tried that with no improvement.  I think I might have to have the fans replaced.  do you know if this is a particularly difficult procedure?  Something wierd that I've noticed is that if I have a video on for more than several minutes, the fans comes on, and also when I am on a Skype video conference for awhile.  Otherwise, the fan jst doen't come on as the intels heaten up to the point the the auto shut down kicks in...any advise?  This definitely interupts my work!  Thanks for your help and input thus far!

  • I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

    I bought an LG phone and a $35 dollar plan card. Less than a week later it said I was out of time for texts. Apparently it only gave me minutes, not the plan I wanted. Is there any way I can get the plan without paying again?

    So you bought a plan and used it all and want another one for free? I understand you thought it had more texts or whatnot but they won't do that since you already used the other plan.
    That's like going to McDonalds and ordering a double cheeseburger, them giving you a double cheeseburger, you eating it and then realizing you wanted a double quarter pounder and expecting them to give it to you free.

  • I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification) however when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it?

    I have redeemed my iTunes giftcard (which was accepted without verification; it only needed my password)
    However when I tried to make a purchase, I am required to verify my identity, and thus I cannot use the giftcard which I HAVE REDEEMED. Is there any way I can un-redeem it? I am currently trying to enter all of the possibilities for my questions, and my iPad is new, so the serial number is not registered with my account. According to support, no purchases have been made in my account, so I can't verify my identity through credit card. Please help!~

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
    If you just want to have the card un-redeemed, use the form.
