Why would an alarm go off on my iMac when quitting Steam?

Hi, I recently installed Puzzle Pirates through my Steam gaming account. I logged off P.P. and quit it. No problem. I then quit Steam and an alarm went off on my computer as it was synching the cloud. What the heck was that about? Steam did quit within several seconds but the alarm took me by surprise. Should I be worried? Any ideas what the alarm was would be helpful. I didn't even know my computer HAD an alarm. Scared the heck out of me. lol
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello!  I recently got the ihome ih11 and was having the same problem on and off. I found out that even though the manual says the ipod has to off and docked for the ipod to go off on alarm,  but I learned ipod does need to be on, but closed out play mode on home screen. Since doing this I've woke to my ipod every morning. Try it and see if that works. I have the ipod touch 2nd generation. Hope this helps!

  • Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

    I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
    My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?".  This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline.  I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline.  They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes.  I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
    The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ?  Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
    After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips.  They are in their original state.
    Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, that is what the problem was.
    Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
    for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps.  Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?

    Why is the volume so low on my iMac when I'm using Safari?
    On both my 2008 MBP and my new 2014 iMac 27" when I listen to the audio portion of a streaming video or news story using Safari, I can hardly hear anything. I have to crank the volume all the way up just to barely hear what is being said. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    please help!! I have the new 2014 iMac 27" as well, same thing happen to me. Dont know what to do!

  • Why Would iTunes turn me off and not allow me to Purchase Content while outside the United States?

    I have been living outside of the USA for 7-months.  I have been purchasing and viewing content that is stored in my iCloud again without any issues.  Today, while attempting to purchase a movie I received an error message saying that I need to contact Support.  I chatted with a rather robotic Support Representative and after a 10 minute review of my account he stated 'all looks good on my end' then, he asked me to hold on for an additional few minutes and said that he could not tell me the reason why my account was 'frozen' but referred me to the iTunes terms and conditions.  I repeatidly asked what was wrong and he refused to answer me.  After a heated back and forth he referred me to Paragraph B in the terms and conditions and it states that content can only be used while in the USA or its possessions or territories.  I told the chat rep that I live in two countries and was curious how I would fix this situation.  The rep was mum and would not reply to me.
    Does anyone have any feedback?  I am unsure what the big deal is. I am paying for content and simply viewing it while traveling.  Why would Apple insist on such a requirement in this very global world we live in.

    They are part of the US store's terms (terms that you have agreed to) :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    (Other countries terms  will be similar)
    It's like that at the requirement of the content providers, they want control over where their content is available - each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country (and have a billing address in that country on your account) to use its store. That applies to both buying new content and redownloading past purchases.
    Have you not got a copy of all of your downloads on a backup ? There is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for redownloading (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), a rights-holder could remove an item from the store at any time.

  • Why Doesnt The @#$% Alarm Go Off?

    Does anybody else have a problem with the Alarm function in iPhone clock not working?
    Last night a little after midnight I set the alarm to ring at 5:30 this morning. I chose "5:30" from a previous use by just turning the slider by that number "on."
    Come 5:30 this morning.... NADA.
    The sound switch on the side of the phone was turned "on" and the volume was turned up. Even if it was off, the thing should have vibrated.
    Just to check, at 6:55 I re-set the alarm to ring at 7:00. Five minutes later the alarm went off.
    I'd hate to think this is some unsolvable, intermittent bug. I mean, what f'ing good is an alarm you can't actually rely on?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Did you make sure to check that it was marked with AM? Sometimes I accidentally hit the AM/PM portion and the alarm was switched to PM instead of being AM.
    Looking again at the list of times I selected from, I see the time listed as "5:30 AM." And there is no way that can see to obtain any further info about the setting.
    One question - for the alarm you set by just moving the slider, were there any days listed under the alarm time? If repeat is set to a specific day or days, and the alarm is turned on, it will only sound on the specified day(s).
    There are no days listed for the time that failed to go off. I've never set any repeats on an alarm, either.
    So it's still a mystery.
    Thanks,
    --PS

  • Why does my alarm still sound in my ear when I'm talking on the phone?

    When I wake up to a phone call and beat the alarm, while talking the alarm will almost deafen me. I guess it's a good idea that it does not just assume you do not need the alarm but its extremely irritating and I'm wondering if there is a way to have it just add a badge or icon alert. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
          Thanks Mike

    Other than turning it off, no.

  • Why is the clock time off on my imac

    The clock on my iMac is off about 10 minutes. How does this happen with a battery back up?

    Hmmm, theres some file where it keeps timing things to adjust the clock by a certain amount, can't remember where or what it is.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when going from correct manual time to auto time.

  • Why would a picture of a globe pop up when I start up my macbook pro?

    I started up my macbook pro, and instead of the Apple logo popping up while the computer loaded, a picture of a flashing globe had popped up. I ended up shutting the computer off and then turned it back on and it loaded up as normal. I was just curious if this was something i should be worried about..? i've only had my macbook for about 2 weeks, and it's my first time with a mac computer. Please help!

    That is a sigfn that either the Online Apple hardware test is starting or that you are booting from the Online Recovery HD system. Both are from the Apple web servers.

  • HT201342 why would I need another e-mail address?

    hi,  Why would I need another e-mail address.  When .me came out I thought that .mac would be erased so I gave everyone my .me account (even though I prefered the .mac name)  the .mac continued to work and now everyone sends me TWO e-mails which arrive at exactly the same place.  I can understand if the e-mails arrive at different mail boxes, then you could give your family one, your business another, your kids school a third, but why... why 3 accounts that go to exactly the same place.  I realise I don't have to use all 3 but can someone tell me how to get the most out of these e-mail addresses.  Thanks!

    Just give out the one email address you want to use. They are all the same account anyway. People do not need to send emails to both email addresses so tell them to only use the one you prefer.
