Why does it want to sleep?

call me crazy, but i like to have the choice of what my computer does when i close the lid. my goal is to get it to stay powered up, and not sleep, like it loves to. for the life of me, i can't find any setting in the control panel that controls this option. any help? thanks!

Is there some reason you want it to stay awake with the lid closed? You realize it will run much hotter that way?
You can run a third party utility like Sleepless or InsomniaX (shareware) that'll allow that.

    Why does mozilla wants to make changes to my laptop settings while I try to download firefox

    If you install a program then elevated (Administrator) permissions are needed and Windows will ask you to confirm.
    If it happens all the time if you start a program then you need to check the Compatibility tab in the Properties of the shortcut via the right-click context menu and make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.

  • Why does hp want to "manage my contacts" in order to be able to print?

    Hp eprint requires me to give access to my contacts' emails in order to print from my ipad to my printer wirelessly. Specifically, it asks me to agree to allow hp to "manage my contacts." Why should they need this invasion of my contacts' privacy? They also want to be able to "associate you with your public Google profile." Why? Are they going to put ads on my Google+ account?

    Hi KKhb,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I see you have a couple of questions about installing the HP ePrint app onto your mobile device.
    To better assist you would you please provide some further information:
    What type of mobile device are you using (an Apple iPad, an Android tablet, an Apple phone or an Android phone)?  I know you mentioned you are using an iPad but the iPad version of the HP ePrint app does not ask about Google profiles.
    What is the name of the app that you downloaded?  I am aware you said it was the HP ePrint mobile app but the iPad version of the HP ePrint Mobile app, once again doesn’t ask about Google profiles.
    Where did you download the app from (Amazon, iTunes, Apple App Store, Google Play Store, etc)?
    What make/model/product number of HP printer do you have? Guide to finding your product number
    How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wirelessly)?
    Has the printer been set up on Google Cloud Print?
    Thank you.

  • In 10.5.1, why does 'Tones' want to delete my music?

    Hi, I have created a ringtone and imported it into iTunes, and it shows up in this new 'Tones' tab ('Ringtones' doesn't seem to exist anymore). I think I have to sync Tones for it to show up on my iPhone 4, but I get a window saying it will delete all the songs on my iPhone when it does! I really don't want to have to reload them. Any tips to why this is happening? Thanks.

    They are tones I made, and have used before.  The problem it seems comes when you are manually managing music, If I click and drag a tone from itunes to my iphone it puts a little sync symbol next to the title of the tone.  I have to check sync under tones to get the tones onto the iphone, at that time it warns me that it will delete all of my music if I sync my tones, im trying to avoid that.  I have a 3Gs and a 4s, I know the tones work on the 4s as its brand new and I didnt have any music to lose so I synced the tones and they are fine. However, my personal phone the 3Gs has all my music and I dont want to lose that.

  • What is "ndat", and why does it want to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port?

    Whenever I connect to any wireless hotspot, LittleSnitch (a program that reports any ingoing/outgoing connections) says: "ndat wants to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat)". If I click "allow" the connection works fine, if I deny the connection, the internet doesn't work. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
    I just want to make sure I'm not inadvertently allowing my data to go through some connection and be vulnerable, etc.

    I thought about that, but all that LittleSnitch does is report ingoing/outgoing communications. It doesn't create any. So I'm just trying to figure out what a program called "ndat" does, and what 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat) means.
    Has anyone heard of any of these things on OSX?

  • What is "safaritools" and why does it want access to my account?

    I'm having Safari 4.0.3 crashes on PowerBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.11 -- like everyone else.
    But, I've also been getting this strange popup every now and then -- it looks like a regular Apple popup --- that asks for access to the account manager or keychain (Deny, Allow Once, Allow Always). It is called "safaritools" small case, combined word. Says something like "safaritools wants permission to access..." and I think it want account manager (sorry I should have taken a screen shot).
    Does anyone know what this? Is this part of the new Safari upgrade? Or is it a Trojan or other malware?
    If so, what the heck does it do and should I Deny, Allow Once or Allow Always?
    thanks for any help --- and assurances!
    Apple needs to unbug Safari fast. At least (knocking wood on my head) my IPhone Safari runs great -- for now!

    Hi,
    I'm having Safari 4.0.3 crashes on PowerBook G4 running Tiger 10.4.11 -- like everyone else.
    Tiger is out dated.
    Or is it a Trojan or other malware?
    Definably you are a switcher from MS to Apple. You need to know more about the system you running and about Mac general.
    Apple needs to unbug Safari fast.
    What you talking about?
    Because you have something you don't understand your assuming that this the fold of Apple.

  • Yosemite: What the *** is Atos and why does it want to take control?

    "Atos wants to take control.." dialogue box comes up on every boot-up.  New phenomenon since upgrading to Yosemite.  Nothing can be done until I fulfill this request by putting in my AppleID password.
    -What is Atos?
    -Why is this happening?
    -Is this an Apple thing or is there a ghost in the machine?
    -Why didn't Apple do a compatibility test for user/s before allowing the upgrade?
    -How do I get rid of this ridiculous hassle?
    Would be nice to have an official Apple response.  Mostly I've seen other folks who want me to send diagnostics, which sounds sketchy.
    PS:  I don't tacitly use Bento, never heard of it until I had this problem and looked over the forums - to no avail, don't use Filemaker.  I do have Office 2011 installed.
    Help, this *****.

    It's likely that one of your login items is causing the problem. Select the Login Items tab in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences. Delete any items that you don't recognize. If you're not sure which ones to delete, double-click each to test it.

  • Spotlight is indexing but what? And why does it want access to the web?

    I can see Spotlight is indexing, it spends several hours a day doing this, every day.
    Where can i find more details like previous OS X versions? Which drive, how much time left etc.
    Console was no help, any suggestions welcome.
    Also, with "Spotlight Suggestions" and "Bing Web Searches" disabled in the Spotlight Search Results references, why is the process "Spotlight Web Content" still trying to access the web several times a day? I am not using Spotlight when this happens nor am i trying to preview any files that have web content in them. Most commonly it tries to connect to static.amazon.com on the http port.

    In System Preferences > Spotlight > Search Results, if you have "Bookmarks and History" checked, then the "Spotlight Web Content" background process will crawl any web page that you recently visited to index its keywords. Uncheck that to turn it off.

  • Why does Verizon want me to pay *more* to renew my 2-year FIOS contract than to let it expire?

    Currently I'm paying $104.99/month for Extreme HD and 50/50 internet.  When my contract expires in August, that will supposedly go up to $119.99/month: When I go to the upgrade/renewal page, I'm offered a start a new 2-year contract for the very same services for $124.99/month: So why on earth would I do this?  Why would I sign a contract to pay $5 more per month for 2 years on the chance that maybe the off-contract price will go up at some point? It's also worth noting that if I try to sign up for service as a new customer, I'm offered the Extreme HD and 50/50 Double Play for my current $104.99/month for a 2 year contract.  I know from experience that trying to get new-customer offers as an existing customer is a losing battle (despite the fact that I already have the lines and equipment and would require zero labor from Verizon), but it still seems like a crummy way to treat existing customers.

    Well, the new-customer 2-year price of $104.99 hasn't changed since I began this contract 2 years ago.  And look at the screenshots -- I'm currently paying $104.99/month, with $15 in discounts which expire at the end of my contract, which means when my contract ends it'll go up to $119.99/month.  So to entice me into signing a new contract, they're offering to lock in a price of $124.99/month for 2 years, $5 MORE than I'd pay if I just let the contract end.  How does this make sense?

  • Why does Quicktime wants to install a Dutch version of Quicktime?

    My PC is set up to work in English. Everywhere. I don't like the Dutch versions because a) they contain often more faults b) the language is (to say the least) 100% unsuited for computers. Try explaining on forums that you wanted to 'opslaan' a file :-S However - I went to the quicktime site to download the new version and out of the blue - it started to use 100% unsuited Dutch. Why can't it behave normally and communicate in English? Where can I start a download in normal plain English instead of uncomprehensible Dutch? And where did it get the idea I wanted Dutch? From my IP-address? Nice work if you're (US citizen, or even worse a chinese citizen) on the road and plug in your PC on the belgian network ... Eternally ;o) quicktime in dutch .. brrr, just the thought makes me shiver!

    you should ask this either on the bootcamp forum or on the quicktime for windows forum.

  • Why does iphoto want to chop off the left and right sides of the photo I'm trying to print?

    Trying to print a group photo.  Using the borderless setting, I still always lose half of the persons at the end of the rows.  Why won't iphoto allow me to print the entire picture?

    It actuallyhelps if you provide details including version of iPhoto and of the OS and what you are doing
    with absolutely nothing but a problem my guess is that the print size is a different ratio than the photos size so somehting has to be left off - for example you can not print an 8x10 photo on a 4x5 piect of paper - depending on the camera you have your photos are either in a 3:2 ratio or a 4:3 ratio - the paper must be the same - or you must crop the photos to the paper size - or you must go to the customize screen and right click on the preview and fit to frame
    onc eyou provide basic information more specific help can be provided

  • Numbers "updates", why does Apple want me to buy it again?

    I have Numbers on a new iPad. An update came out but Apple wants my credit card number to purchase it again. The notice tells me this is supposed to be a free update. What am I doing wrong? I'm relatively new to Apple software.

    You shouldn't have to update if you don't want to. If your book looks good, you should be fine.

  • Why does Itunes want me to restore my ipod touch

    Today my iPod asked me to update from ios 5 to ios 6. I decied that I had time so I agreed. While My iPod was updating I plugged it into my dock to charge. When it was charged the update was complete so I turned it on. It came up with a picture notice saying plug into iTunes

Please help me as my iPod is very important and I don't want to have everything restored to factory settings.
