OS X :: Can't Disable Hibernation

Feb 6, 2010

it took so LONG to sleep my macbook when closing the lid, and I wanted to eliminate security concerns with the sleep image being on the hard drive, so I tried that SmartSleep preferences panel, latest version. It worked for awhile (this is on Snow Leopard. But now it hibernates every time again! I've tried resetting the setting to something different, then back to just "sleep".

MacBook Pro :: Goes To Hibernation Until Plugged In

Jun 1, 2010

I recently upgraded my last-gen macbook to a macbook pro 13". I have a feeling there's something wrong with the battery however. On my old Macbook, whenever i let the battery drain completely (After I got the 10 minute warning message), the macbook went into hibernation until I plugged it in. However, on my Macbook pro, whenever I do the same it doesn't go into hibernation. Is there something wrong with my battery or have apple changed how this works?

PowerPC :: IMac G5 Random Hibernation?

Oct 23, 2008

I recently bought a refurb iMac G5 with Os 10.4.11 - It has worked fine and now all of a sudden it will randomly go black as if hibernating and takes a few moments to come back on. It doesn't do it often, usually when I'm playing a video clip on the web for some reason, but not always.

IMac :: Sleep / Hibernation And USB Becomes Unresponsive

Jan 23, 2009

I have an iMac (20" 2.4 g, 3 gig ram, os 10.5.6) that has recently stopped waking up after a long night of sleep. I have also found that the mouse and keyboard become unresponsive if the mac does wake up. The mouse has power, but the keyboard does not show any sign of life. The mouse glows red, but when I hit caps-lock, the little green light doesn't come on. I have tried switching ports, but no dice. As I said, the USB port clearly is sending power to the mouse, but not accepting any input. When I restart, all is well on most occassions, but the problem has persisted, once or twice, after a re-boot.

MacBook Pro :: Hibernation Mode Corrupts SSD And Forces Reformat

Jul 27, 2010

Last month I removed my super drive from my MBP i7 and replaced it with an SSD using the New Modus caddy. This was done so I could place a 1TB Scorpio Blue in the HDD bay. Last night, I left my computer on, and I must have accidentally pulled out the power cord. When I tried to wake it, nothing happened, so I reattached the magsafe and, low and behold, OSX would not load. I restarted with the same result - the grey and black startup wheel spins continuously (not the rainbow beachball) and the OS wont load. In response I attached my external superdrive and ran disk utilities on the SSD drive, which contains the OS. Apparently, the drive is corrupt and cannot be repaired. Disk utilities displays a "B-tree" error and recommends that I reformat the drive after removing any files that I am able to.

is there anyway that I can repair my SSD without reformatting? I thought about swapping my HDD from my old MBP for the Scorpio Blue drive and selecting it as the start up drive so I could try to transfer files, but its not a S-ATA connection. Would Disk Warrior or something similar be more effective at repairing the drive than Apple Disk Utility?

OS X :: How To Disable Journaling

Oct 22, 2007

Using a new MacBook (C2D, 2.16 GHz) but am multibooting with number of Linux OSes. To make OS X writable from Linux, I need to remove journaling from the OS X partition.So, I go to Disk Utility and here's the info available about my Mac OS X partition: Quote:

Mount Point :/Capacity :113.0 GB (121,332,826,112 Bytes)
Format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled)Available :54.2 GB (58,217,304,064 Bytes)
Owners Enabled :YesUsed :58.8 GB (63,115,522,048 Bytes)
Number of Folders :115,197Number of Files :436,726

t looks like it's journaled so I should be able to disable journaling, right? now I go to File and look for a Disable Journaling option. But it's not there. What's there is Enable Journaling but even this is grayed out.

OS X :: How To Disable Bonjour

Feb 11, 2009

Not Finder > pref > sidebar

I want to disable MY mac from showing up on other peoples Macs "shared sidebar" at school. We use the same network or same wireless router. I went to my shared folder and disabled EVERYTHING and made sure I have a password now not in the dictionary.

So. Can my Mac be accessed, viewed or seen now? Can someone view my screen remotely (hack) using Bonjour WITHOUT ME KNOWING IT?

I see tons of other computers on my side bar but i am worried they see mines and can some how control it without me knowing. I do know not to click any strange links from emails and such.. Like I said I've disabled ALL sharing and just made a password.

Mac Pro :: How To Disable Isight Camera?

Jun 20, 2008

I am trying to disable my Isight on a couple of computers used at our library. Under MacHints I found out that, when a program from OS X (Tiger at least) needs to access the integrated iSight camera, it has to call the QuickTimeUSBVDCDIgitizer.component. This file is located in the /System � Library � QuickTime folder.
How can I find this folder? When I search for it does not come up.

Or did anybody else figure out a way to disable this.

Oh, yeah, taping over it is a good suggestion but clever people just removed.

OS X :: How To Disable Secure Trash?

Oct 4, 2009

Since I got SL and had a small trashcan, opened it up, and instead of emptying it via dock and just hit the "secure" button in the window out of laziness, every time I empty the trash, it does it securely, which takes a lot of time. I have a very large trash load and don't particularly feel like devoting the full CPU to writing over files I simply don't need anymore (mostly old downloads). Is this a feature? How do I disable it?

OS X :: Back To My Mac Says Disable A NAT Device?

Oct 22, 2009

I'm trying to get Back to my Mac working, but it's saying that I have more than one device that's using NAT, and to disable NAT on one of those devices.

I've attached a screen shot....

Here's my setup...
DSL Modem + DIR-655 (DLink wireless router).

Could both of those have NAT enabled? I obviously wouldn't be able to disable NAT on the modem if it does, but how do I do this on my router?

I've googled like crazy and I can't find the solution.

I've disabled both the DNS Relay and the DHCP server on my router.

The firmware of this router is 1.11. Should I update it?

I'm running Snow Leopard.

Why can't I get 802.11n speeds? I've attached a related screenshot. It says PHY Mode is wireless n, but the speed is only 54? Happens with every N router I try to connect to.

I have a Late 2006 MBP that I installed the Wireless-N Enabler on.
