• Lose the FTP connection after you put the computer to sleep

  I usually work in Dreamweaver on my Macbook. However, if I'm working on a Web site and decide to stop for a while (it's how I closed my Macbook), everytime I open my Macbook again, so lost FTP connection. Sometimes it comes back after a long period of time, and other times I can do return disconnection/reconnection airport several times. But most of the time, I just closed Dreamweaver and reopen it. If I do this, the connection works perfectly again.

  Does anyone know how to avoid to have to close and restart Dreamweaver in order to maintain the FTP connection after having put a Macbook to sleep?

  The FTP queue time is set by your web hosting provider.  I don't think DW has mechanisms in place to send empty commands to keep the connection alive, and even if it did, it would take the computer to be operational.  You shouldn't have to restart DW well in order to get a connection.  Simply by clicking on the login button in the files panel should do the trick.

• How to activate the Sleep function to put the computer to sleep if a program is open?

  I have Windows Vista basic on a desktop Dell 530.  I found that if I have a program or application running (such as I-tunes or windows media player) then the Sleep function will not put the computer to sleep.  How to activate the Sleep function to replace these programs and put the computer to sleep?

  Note: This is how it was with windows XP, the Sleep function would put the computer to sleep no matter what was running, he was reliable, if you left the computer and I forgot that you had something running.

  Thanks for your help.

  Hi kevino4130,

  If you disable sharing on your computer (not only the power settings) of media, it should allow him to enter the mode 'sleep'.

  See if that does not solve your problem and let us know.

• Put iPad Pro to sleep by keyboard shortcut?

  Is there a way to put a Pro iPad to sleep by just using a Smart shortcut (such as command-Shift-Eject/Power on Mbps)? When already typing on the keyboard (and I want to stop working for a while) it is not very convenient to press on the button / stop of the iPad.

  It is not possible. Defined the iPad to sleep early if it's that big of a concern about you. How annoying this maybe we can to press the sleep button and put the iPad to sleep?

  Original title: Sleep Mode

  Using Windows Vista, when I put my computer to sleep to reboot.  The computer restarts on its own.  When it restarts I get the screen asking me if I want to start normally, as if the computer restarted unexpectedly from the computer.  I'd appreciate any help.  Let me know if you need more details.

  Hello
   
   
   
  1. have you made changes on the computer recently?
   
  First of all, you must disable the auto reboot system error and then we can check if the problem exists in safe mode or not.
   
  Method 1.
  Step 1. Disable automatic reboot to avoid unwanted restarts on system failure.
  a. when your computer starts up keep press F8 on your keyboard until you get the Advanced Boot Options screen.
  b. now, use the arrow keys, select Disable automatic restart in case of system error and press ENTER.
   
  Step 2 Start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem exists. If it starts successfully and supposed works can be a third-party application or service is causing the problem. We can use the approach 50 / 50 to narrow down the root cause of the problem.
  
  See the article below for instructions on how to start your computer in a clean boot state.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
  Note: When the diagnosis is complete, don't forget to reset your computer to normal startup. Follow step 7 in the above article.
   
  Method 2.
  It is also recommended that you update all hardware drivers.
  For more information see the link below:

  b. you can also check if all the drivers are available through Windows Update.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/update-drivers-recommended-links

  
   

  Method 3.
  If you suspect a virus activity I highly recommend to run a Scan of Virus online. 

  Sometimes the security program installed might not be fair enough. I also recommend you update your security software regularly.

  a. follow the link below to start the free online scan:
  http://OneCare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  Hi Phil.Ganchev,
   
  Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
   
  The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
   
  I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
   
  a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  
  (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.
  
  c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
  (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

• How can I set an automatic sleep period Win 7 Pro

  How can I set the duration of sleep to a Win 7 Pro PC, for example go to sleep automatically an hour given while wake up automatically at a specific time?

  This PC is basically unattended but files hosts used by the other computers on a peer-to-peer network.

  Run this batch file to put the machine to sleep:

  ================================

  Powercfg/h off
  Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState

  ================================

  The Powercfg /h off command requires that the scheduled task will run with the highest privileges.

  If you want to stop the computer rather than put it to sleep, use the command shutdown instead of the command of powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState rundll32.exe.

  To start the computer it just create a simple task and go to the properties of the task a 'Conditions' tab, select the option to enable the computer to run the task.

  Note that the condition of 'Wake computer' relies on the BIOS clock to wake the computer, the computer must support this (do most desktop computers), and the option must be enabled in BIOS power options.  When you enable the option in the BIOS do not allow the timer to all zeros, enter a manual setting any or although the BIOS is unable to activate the feature, Windows will overwrite the timer with the correct date & time when you started the scheduled task.

  Note that a computer into hibernation do not wake to run a scheduled task.

  How to identify a MacBook 2009 serial number?

  The screen is broken and blue shows only the tasks after the start.

  There are a lot of numbers on the bottom of a MacBook 13 "striped rubber.

  Nothing says serial No.

  I thought to start target disc mode to get info, but the macbook doesn't have a firewire input.

  I have connected a monitor but only get a desk empty with no place to go to.

  I'm used with computer repair, thinking I'll replace it the display. But the owner of the child has no info

  of any kind.

  I would be grateful for your input on how to get the info I need and your thoughts on the display work.

  Thank you for your time and patience.
