UPS: turn off at Mac Pro every night

I just bought a new power supply (UPS) uninterrupted and it comes with the option to transform the every night to save energy (after I stop the desk top Mac Pro).

I searched the internet and Apple support communities and apparently there is no big advantage or disadvantage to stop the Mac Pro every night.  It does not harm the desk top, it allows to save some energy, and it makes it safe from hackers while I'm asleep.

I can't find anything that tells me if there is a problem with completely set turned off power every night well.  Anyone know of any reason not to use "SHUT DOWN" and then turn off the UPS?  I guess the only difference it makes to the desk top Mac Pro is that it uses a battery to keep the current date and time.

An overview of everything that will keep my Mac Pro (mid 2010) humming is greatly appreciated.

It uses the battery to keep the current date and time.

... and to remember some system settings that must be available at the beginning of the start-up procedure, such as "where is the boot drive.

If your Mac does not start, the battery is a Lithium long term non-powered cells of room behind the graphics card slot. It should measure about 3 Volts in your hand to be useful. BR2032 is what apple installed, CR2032 will work in a pinch. They are used in the door openers garage and car-door-keys.

    Is it safe turn off an officejet pro 8500 a when not in service. The electricity in my area off two or three times a day and every time that happens the printer begins once again reset. I'm afraid that whenever it cleans the printer heads is a waste of ink.

    Hi fernan215,

    Yes, turn off your printer when not in use. A fluctuation of current or failure can cause more damage to your printer when it is still on. You are also right that the printer is cleaning the heads and align the cartridges every time it is turned on. This is to ensure stability, good maintenance and calibration of your inks for the best output every time.

  • NEITHER 9481: Why dose the relay turn off all channels once every time when the vi is executed?

    Hello all, I use cRIO 9025 and NI 9481 to develop a program. The relay is used as switches.  I designed it, is that when I run the vi, the channels of the relay are all on. When the port of entry of the digital input/output module gives a signal to the relay, the relay channels is disabled. However, whenever I run the vi, the relay is disabled once and then trund once again. May I ask why is this happenning? I guess that's because the default state of the relay is disabled. Is there a way to fix this?

    Thank you very much!!

    All the relay modules are like that and there is nothing that can be done as far as I know. Electromagnetic relay are generally loaded spring and holding (switch closed) by a voltage sent to the relay. They will turn off when restart you on the relay controls. You can set the State of the relay on real as the first thing when you start your VI, but beyond that you would have to solve your electrical problem, control switching relay at a constant voltage during the startup of the program. However, in most cases it would be risky and unreliable. However, there are many different types of relay and you did not specify that you are using.

    See basic operation section, section of this article to read on how to relay themselves by default to the State of open circuit:

  • Mac Pro 2013 randomly restart problem

    Hello

    Here's my problem: I have a Mac Pro end of 2013 (6 cores, 16 GB ram, over-pants D500, running OS X 10.10.5 with a WACOM Cintiq 21 - UX as my view only) who has, for the last month or so been randomly restart itself.

    There are some days where it might be three or four times and then days where it won't do it at all. Also there are moments where it works well for hours, but then if I turned off the Mac Pro, it will crash and restart. Sometimes it will freeze momentarily application-wise (but the cursor moves but does nothing) before it restarts but usually just the screen goes black and then it restarts without any warning. I still get the black screen with the «your computer has restarted...» Press any key' and of course, it generates a crash report that I submit to Apple every time (that I'll post more recent one below as well.) I did start secure upward, reset the PRAM, booted single-user, just that I found online to do which is recommended. But nothing seems to have done something to help.

    The Cintiq is connected through a DVI adapter to Thunderbolt. I also have Mercury Elite Dual Pro Rack hung RAID normally via Thunderbolt. There are times when I think that there is a problem with the RAID box and the Mac Pro but not sure. As there is a problem with the Thundebolt ports. I tried to pass the cables autour, but it has not seemed to have made all the difference. This also has all seems to have coincided with the last update of OS X where I've also updated the driver for WACOM Cintiq (I since past to the old driver). Is this all just a matter of software conflict?

    I found an Apple Support thread where someone has indicated that a Kernel Panic may cause this, but then it also seems similar to what I've found, that was the issue with the Macbook Pro, which had problems with graphics a bit backward.

    In any case, here's a crash report if it helps and thank you for any help that anyone can send my way!

  • Is it better to turn off my computer at night or put in mode "sleep"?

    This is my wife Dell, about 8 years old and using a router in my computer and it is windows XP

    Thanks Steve.  I asked the question because my wife has problems connecting to the internet in the morning after she stops every night.  I'll take 3 or more attempts.  His son tech-savy told him to stop, and I said to sleep as I do.  In any case, thanks for your response.

    Turn off your computer is a good idea, because it will give him some rest to run all day, cool off, etc..

    When the computer comes on, it takes some time to connect to the internet, and according to what age has the computer it might take some time.

    Just turn off the computer during the night and the morning market and leave for a few minutes while it loads everything, and when you come back it must be connected to the internet just fine.

    Unless of course there is an underlying problem of the internet, in which case let us know and we can work on fixing it.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: WiFi will not turn off

    Because of a problem with my modem compatible wireless (the problem being that its ethernet ports became defective), for awhile, I had turn the WiFi feature to provide Internet connectivity to my iMac.  Similarly, for the first time, I enabled WiFi on my HP Officejet Pro 8620 so I could keep a printing capability.

    Once my new modem arrived, I restored my complete ethernet network between the modem, my iMac (and other devices) and the Office jet printer 8620 Pro.  Everything works fine now!

    However, the printer Officejet Pro 8620 WiFi ability not shut down despite the operation by an ethernet cable and there is no WiFi from my modem.  I know the Officejet Pro 8620 always emits WiFi like my iPad and my iPhone indicate that it is.  As my wife is concerned about these RF transmissions that are on the other side of the wall adjacent to our bed, she asked me to turn off the Officejet Pro 8620 WiFi.  I've restored the "Default network" printer, but this is not the case.

    According to the instructions of the printer, 'Wireless does not work with an Ethernet cable connected to the printer' However this is clearly not there.  How can I solve this?

    Your WiFi is turned off.  Your wireless Direct is not off.  Disable wireless directly into the printer.   Info is in the User Guide.

    I plugged our mac mini and the Airport express separately to the internet via a network hub. When I turn off the green light on the airport Mac Orange and blinks. The internet connection disappeared.

    Is anyone know how I can configure the network, so I can turn off the mac without cutting off the internet at the Airport express?

    Post a screenshot of the express installation of airport utility.

    I plugged our mac mini and the Airport express separately to the internet via a network hub.

    This seems odd... What is a network hub? They went to fashion 20 years ago. Do you mean a switch? Real model number please.

    What model is the express?

    Is anyone know how I can configure the network, so I can turn off the mac without cutting off the internet at the Airport express?

    Plug the Express directly on the main router... and implemented in Bridge mode and create a wireless network. That's the way it should be installed now... but this 'hub' could be a problem.

  • Turn off filtering by MAC address

    Hi, I recently got WIFI for my house. I want to use wifi on my ipod touch but even when I add and connect to my network with the password. I can't use wifi and applications that require a connection. Most people say that I have to turn off my MAC address filter to make my ipod touch can access the internet. Thank you.

    MAC address filtering is enabled or disabled in your wireless router.  It is disabled by default and would be activated only if you have explicitly configured the router like this.  See the user manual of your router for more information, or tell us the router brand and model number.
