 Change it back to what setting you wish after uploading.

Re: Sleep during upload

2013-07-07 Thread Ronda Brown 
Hi Severin, 
In past versions of OS X, the system would not enter sleep if applications were 
running and writing files to disk or running lengthy computational tasks, but 
this has changed in the latest releases of OS X, (Lion & Mountain Lion) where " 
programs must invoke a power assertion "in order to keep the system from going 
to sleep. 

If a program does not do this, then the system may halt its activity and go 
into sleep mode regardless of what the program is doing.



Cheers,

Ronni

Thanks for both those two suggestions, Ronni.  I had already figured that out 
as a workaround.  But why?   Surely with a long upload, apart from anything 
else there are disk reads, so why does it still sleep.  
Cheers

Hi Severin,

Change your setting in System Preferences > Energy Saver - Computer Sleep - to 
'Never'.
Change it back to what setting you wish after uploading.
