IMac turns off while sleeping

My iMac sometimes turns off during sleep mode, I did call apple care and went through utilities and the tech support said that issue should be resolved, but it happen again today. Has anyone else had the same issues? Is this also the start of some bigger issues down the line?
Thanks,
BC

HI BC,
Check System Preferences/Energy Saver. Click the Schedule button bottom right in that pane and make sure it's not set to turn off at a certain time.
According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Make sure your software is up to date.

Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery -- mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)

Macbook Pro won't login after sleep (sleep with low battery --> mac turned off maybe it's called save sleep)
So if I hit the powerbutton my mbp booted like it is booting from the save sleep (so very fast and the login screen is there in about 10 sec.and there is no apple logo while booting just the desktop screen in "unsharp" ore foggy however...)
Then when i see the login (if the keyboard backlight turned on) i wand do tipe in my code but it won't work... the trackpad is not working; and when i plug-in a usb mouse the mbp is not powering on the usb-mouse (laser is off)
Why is that this way?
Is there n option to wake up the mbp fromm deep/save sleep without haveing issiues after that?

Sorry for such a long delayed response...
I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
Thank you!

Why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

why my ipad turn off suddenly while working..??

I have been having the same problem for about a month. It has now gotten so bad I can no longer use my iPad 3.
Having problems with my iPad 3 shutting down, starting up, shutting down continuously.
I have tried closing all apps in Task Bar & the sleep/home routine. They worked for awhile, but now nothing is working!
I was told that this is a common problem with the iPad 3 and that it is a manufacturers defect.
It is 14 months old and Apple wants over $300 for send-in service. I have tried to reset to factory defaults, but ipad keeps shutting down & restoration never finishes. I am not sure whether to have it repaired or cut my losses and move on to something else. Frustrating & expensive. Any suggestions???

Turning off the sleep indicator in the display release latch.

Can I turn off the sleep indicator in the display release latch even though it is still sleeping?
(At night time my bedroom looks like its being invaded by Aliens)
TIA.

...duct tape?
Apple released an update a while back to control the brightness of the sleep indicator, but it was only for certain G5 models. Quick perusal of apple support didn't turn up anything. Coworker swears that the brightness is controlled by the ambient light sensor, but I certainly can't tell the difference in a bright vs dark room...

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

HT1688 My phone turned off while i was texting. I not sure what happened because the battery was at 72%. I tried turning it on but nothing happened.

MY phone turned off while texting battery at 72%. I tried turning it on but screen stays black.

First, try to reset the phone by pressing the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back. You will not lose data by resetting.
If this does not work, connect in recovery mode, explained here:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Hello, when I turn up my macbook it start lagging a lot and also when it is turning off while I use it it works perfectly

Not enough free storage space can slow your Mac down. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Anti virus software, as well as third party Mac cleaning utilities such as MacKeeper and CleanMyMac can also slow your Mac down.
Check to see if the startup disk needs repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.
Make sure to back up all important data first before using OS X Recovery.

Turn Off Safe Sleep?

Does anybody know of a utility that can turn off Safe Sleep for a Mac Pro running Leopard?
I have used Leopard Cache Cleaner to do it successfully for my MacBook, but it doesn't seem to keep Safe Sleep turned off for a Mac Pro.

I am not a mind reader so bear with me. In order to answer that, I'd have to know how many and large the swap files are now, what apps you use, and open concurrently, plus how hard and large files you work on etc.
I'd remove the 2 x 512s or whatever and add 4 x 1GB or 4 x 2GB.

It's all in the details. Notice where this thread started, with "safe sleep" and the crux of the issues are low memory AND low disk space.

I will say that 5-6GB is probably fine for light work in Photoshop. And working on larger files you are headed for more than 8GB (10-16).

Why does computer turn off when battery 40%?

Why does computer turn off when battery around 40%? I have tried replacing the battery.

Replacing as in "removed, re-installed", or "bought a new one"?
This is my display from "Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Power"
"Normal" means no issues.
I will stop now in case you have actually put in a *new* battery ...

Monitor turns off to sleep but computer stays on???

Monitor turns off to sleep but computer stays on???
Any clues why? I can only shut-down and it gets annoying because I like to be working in less than a minute after powering up. Any things to look for to help?

Thanks,
don't know why it'd matter if I had a warranty or not since the function
in question is apart of what I'm supposed to be getting w/ cost of computer.
Time to load the overpriced 1 ton computer into the car and demand they fix it at the apple store. This is absurd since I originally bought this computer for music creating and it's the most unreliable computer EVER as far as stability for music. My audiophile records for like 10 sec. before the sound cuts out, everytime, but of course that's not apple's fault.
Never buying apple again. This is straw that broke the camels back. Anyone wanna trade a pc for my G5?
Sorry for the venting but this is where I draw the line!
Thanks,
Henry

Display turns off while watching a movie!

why does the display on my X1 Carbon turn off while watching a film on battery? I have never had a laptop do that before. Surely when a movie is running it should no not to count the period of inactivity and trun of the display?!! This is meant to be a modern machine.

Actually, Plex does the best job by placing a black background to the internal iMac screen it's called Blanking.
However that does not turn off the backlit which is very bright on the iMac 24" also the internal screen will draw more power that way. As you probably know running bootcamp you can turn off the internal screen while watching a movie on the external. This isn't a hardware limitation, I hope Lion has this feature.

3GS turns off while calling.

My new iPhone continues to turn off while I am in the middle of phone calls. It then after my methodical tapping on the screen and the home button it turns back on. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:
