Detect display when waking from sleep?

Is there any way to force the display detection when waking from sleep? I find that if the mini wakes before the monitor is on, i get a blank screen. When the monitor is on before waking, everything is normal.
I have the DVI-Detective, and the problem is actually worse when using it -- nothing is detected when waking up, no matter if the display is on or not.
My specs:
OS 10.5
C2D, 2Ghz - 2GB RAM
Sharp Aquos 52inch
All standard HD resolutions work fine - it's just now a matter if figuring out how to force the mini to detect the display...
Surely there must be a way to do this?

Great that you got it working. It seems what is happening when the TV is switched off is that the Mac can no longer see the EDID data. Basically, it's the same as if a hot-unplug event had occurred from OS X's perspective. The mini thinks the TV's video cable has been unplugged, so it thinks it is running headless, which of course it is not. And for some reason not completely clear to me, when the TV's power is restored, a hot-replug event is not triggered and the mini still thinks it's running headless. Maybe you are right that it is removed from the list of connected devices for good. But it isn't supposed to work like that.
The DVI Detective is the right tool for the job in cases like this, so it's good you have one and it's good you got it working. I agree it would be nice if there was more override control within OS X for times like this when things go wrong. But if more TV and 2nd/3rd tier monitor makers paid more attention to computer plug-and-play, then these things would work right in the first place. Your TV is in violation of the plug-and-play standard because the standard calls for the host (Mac mini in this case) to be able to power the ROM and I2C bus within the TV even if the TV is in a powered down state. Clearly your TV isn't doing this.

  • Missing sound + missing USB power (sometimes) from Thunderbolt Display when waking from sleep

    Hi
    Two problems - one of which is driving med crazy!!
    Have the latest updates, and the display is connected to a MBA (mid 2011).
    The two are almost alwayes connected, and every time I wake the MBA from sleep, the Thunderbold Display does not "support usb sound" - the sound options are only MBA and headphones. Only a restart will give me the option to use Thunderbolt as sound output: WHAT TO DO!?!?!!
    Sometimes when waking from sleep the USB in the Display seems to be "off" - the will not charge my devices (iPhone, iPad etc.). Only reboot seems to fix this... I have seen this in other discussions but not found a permanent solution - any thoughts?

    Same here but reinstalling OSX is a bit drastic. I solved the problem by deleting a preference.
    Go to Macintosh HD then System then Library then Preference panes then Sound.prefPane
    Delete Sound.prefPane (you need to type your password).
    Logout or restart.
    This has happend twice this week so WHY is this suddenly occurring?
    Hi,
    I found this solution in the forum, but I can't find it again. I had cut and pasted it into a text file, because it solved my problem. I just don't want to take any credit for it. It did work for me. I had no problems for 3-4 weeks with the monitor, I have had the sound problem since last Friday. Very frustrating.

  • Diamond shape momentarily displayed when waking from sleep

    Hi
    A couple of days ago when I woke my MBP from sleep I was a bit surprised to see a large diamond shape (it may have been a cube rotated through 90 degrees but it was only visible for about a second so I didn't get a great chance to look at it) appear in the middle of the screen before my desktop was displayed. This isn't something I've seen before and it hasn't done it again since. It looked like it was a silvery, grey sort of colour.
    Does anyone know what this should be and, if so, is it anything to be concerned about?
    Many thanks.

  • Brand new Mac mini ONLY displays when waking from sleep

    Have an unusual problem.
    Brand new 2011 Mac mini.  Turn it on, and I do not get the grey Apple logo screen or normal spinning cog.  Light comes on as normal, and chime chimes as normal.  I've tried three different monitors now and I never get a display, unless I put the mini to sleep with the power button in back, then wake it with a keyboard key stroke, the display turns on and works as normal.
    As of 20 Sep 2011, I've got all the software and EFI updates installed.  I've also reset the PMU, SMC, PRAM, and NVRAM to no avail.
    Thanks.

    Yes, sure did.  Tried different cables and Thunderbolt to video adapters.  Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm using VGA.  Originally tried it about a week ago with DVI and it worked ok.  The problem is the monitor we're using in our classroom doesn't support DVI or HDMI.

  • Keychain is read-only when waking from sleep

    So, when waking from sleep my keychain becomes read-only and I'm forced to restart since many of the applications I tend to use (itunes, safari, skype. messages and disk utility) start giving me error messages or are unresponsive. I've tried repairing the keychain, deleting and creating a new keychain, reinstalling the OS (10.8), resetting the ACLs using the recovery partition, repairing permissions using the recovery partition. The only thing I haven't tried is wiping out the drive and installing the OS anew which I would like to avoid . I am on a 2010 13" macbook pro using 10.8.3. I don't think it started after an update. I did recently install a new hard drive since the previous hard drive died. I used time machine to restore my apps and user account. Advice anyone? Thanks

    Hello-
    Well I spoke to soon. The problem started a few weeks later. Since then I have installed the OS on to a new hard drive. I did import my user account from a time machine backup but did not import the Apps and System settings. I created a new account and moved my media and documents from my old account to the new account. I then deleted the old account. After all that I am still getting the read-only problem with Keychain. It now happens while I am using my laptop, not just when it wakes from sleep. As I mentioned before the issue is intermittent, about once or twice a week. The last occurrence happened a few minutes after I booted up. I have pasted the log below. I have taken it in to Apple and they ran a check-up and everything came back ok. I'm concerned because my apple care ends in about a week. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • Resolution change when waking from Sleep

    I will at times hook up my MBP to a plasma display to show photos. Now-sometimes when waking from sleep (and not attached to an external monitor), it reverts back to 800x600. I have to go to SP to displays and re-detect the MacBook display. Unpredictable and frustrating.

    Lets get a few details straightened out first:
    1. What cable are you using to connect? DVI, VGA, HDMI, component, composite, s-video, etc.?
    2. What resolution is it when you connect? If your plasma is an HDTV, it is capable of taking much higher than 800x600, so depending on the cable you use, you can adjust that to make it higher or even the same native resolution.
    3. When you disconnect, is the computer running, or closed/sleeping? If you close, then disconnect, it might think the display is still connected. Or, rather, after switching resolutions back, later on when you open it up it suddly changes to a lower res?
    In the meantime, in system prefs, in "Displays" check the box that says "Show displays in menu bar" and then you will get a menu up top to choose your displays and resolution sizes. That will at least make it easier to change.

  • IMac loses connection to network when waking from sleep

    Hi There,
    We are a small mixed environment of Macs and PCs running on a Windows 2008 domain. One of 2 iMacs that now run Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is having problems when waking from sleep. One of our designers will go for lunch and the machine will sleep for about 30 to 40 minutes. Upon her return the iMac will kick her off of the 3 shares she usually logs into (2 are on Win2008 machines, and 1 is a MacPro running 10.6.8 Server).
    If she has files open in any of the Creative Suite Apps, the app will crash and she will have to restart the whole machine. If no files are open then she can usually reconnect to the shares after a short while.  Obviously I told her not to leave any files open, but its causing her some headaches.
    Its also creating srv errors (id 2012) on our domain controllers, when she tries to wake her machine.
    This Imac is a late 2009, and we have a 2011 model that has no issues at all. Both are set exactly the same.
    I have reset SMC, Pram, and rebinded to the domain, and searched through these forums quite a bit to no avail.
    Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I am continuing to work on this issue, and have tried a number of things based on searching here and elsewhere.
    And Lucky Me, I have been able to replicate this behavior on one of other Macs (imac 2011, on 10.8.5). I also see errors on 2 separate Windows file servers on the domain (Event ID: srv 2012).
    Below I am posting what seems to be the relevant area of the log.

    This is from the 2011 iMac, and I see something very similar to this on the 2009 machine.

  • My MBP doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep

    My MBP (OS 10.5.8) doesn't remember my Time Capsule wireless network when waking from sleep.  Thus, every time my MBP wakes from sleep, I need to select the Airport icon in the upper menu bar, select "Join other network", enter SSID and password.  This is very cumbersome.  And, I never had this problem when I was using the ISP's provided wireless router/gateway/DSL modem. Adding the Time Capsule and using it to generate the wireless network has introduced this problem. 
    It appears that this problem has to do with the hidden SSID.  I don't need the lecture on how hidden SSID provides no serious security benefit.  That's why I have the WPA2 encryption.  I'm interested in a solution that will allow the Time Capsule to generate the wireless network, maintain a hidden SSID, continue to use WPA2 encryption, but have my MBP recognzie and autoconnect to this network.
    Solutions I've alread tried:
    1. Open Network Preferences
    2. Select Airport from left hand column (and ensure Airport is at top of that list)
    3.  Select Advanced
    4.  Delete all Preferred Networks.
    5.  Apply settings.
    6.  Restart computer
    7.  Return to Network Preferences and from Advanced page, manually add my network with hidden SSID and WPA2 password
    This solution works fine as long as I don't take my computer elsewhere and connect to another network.  As soon as my preferred networks list gets another network, my MBP stops finding my TC network.  Since I take my laptop to a lot of places (it's a laptop, after all...) this is a problem.
    As I say, prior to adding the TC on my network (and using it to generate the wireless network), my MBP had no problem keeping 50+ preferred network names/passwords in the Preferred Network list, but always automatically finding/connecting to my home network without the need to "Join other network."  Thus, I assume the problem lies with the Time Capsule.
    Any ideas?

    LaPastenague, thanks for weighing in.  Didn't know that the hidden SSID capability was not IEEE standardized, and thus different devices will handle hidden SSID differently.  With my admittedly limited knowledge of how SSID/hidden SSID works, I'm still a little confused as to why my MBP would remember the generic router/gateway's hidden network, but struggle with the TC's hidden network.
    To my knowledge, when an SSID is broadcast by a base station (Airport, wireless gateway, etc.), a connecting device (like a laptop, iPad, etc.) detects this broadcast--this would be a passive reception of this SSID signal.
    When an SSID is hidden, the base station does not broadcast its identification.  Rather, a connecting device must transmit the name, and when the base station recognizes the broadcast, the connection is made. That's what you do when you select "Join another network" and manually enter the SSID.
    The idea with OS X's Network Preferences is that these steps, whether for hidden networks or broadcast SSIDs, become automated.
    Where is the potential for a different chipset between the TC and the previously used wireless router/gateway to alter this functionality?  Shouldn't the selection of an SSID by the MBP to broadcast to seek for a base station be a function solely on the MBP?  And once broadcast by the MBP, the TC should detect and reply? 
    Basically, the MBP can connect to the hidden TC manually just fine.  The MBP can connect to the old setup automatically just fine.  The MBP cannot connect to the TC automatically.  Aren't these automatic connection functions solely on the MBP?
    I'll try un-hiding the network and re-verifying that the problem is exclusively with the hidden network.

  • External Monitor Static When Waking From Sleep

    Hello community, did anyone had the disrcibed problem and knows about it?
    After waking up from hibernation, display is static an doesn't work on; getting of from thunderbolt and put in after a little bit of time doesn't help.

    To everyone experiencing the frustrating "static on display when resuming from sleep", I think I finally got the solution to resolve the problem. Since the most recent versions of OSX are using "TV resolution" to configure digital displays (such as 1080p, 720p...) I thought maybe my mac was trying to "talk" with my displays in a "TV language" so I went in my SyncMaster's display setup and changed a few settings to fix the "miscommunication" between my mac and the displays. Surprise! After many months of frustration, it finally fixed the problem!
    Here's what I changed in the SyncMaster's setup menu:
    Under "SIZE & POSITION" menu, go to "Image Size" and set to "Screen Fit"
    Under "SETUP & RESET" menu (down on the second page with my model), go to "Auto Source" and set to "Manual"
    Finally,still under the same "SETUP & RESET" menu page, go to "PC/AV Mode" and set to "AV"
    Bingo! Now when the computer wakes up from sleep, the screens are going back on like a charm!
    Hope this will help people who had the same issue using MacPro with Samsung SyncMaster displays, worked for me anyways!...
    Cheers!

  • Desktop Wallpaper Screensaver Bug? [When waking from sleep]

    I'm not sure if this topic is in the correct category but it seems to fit.
    I have a new 15.4" MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.3. I have multiple images that I want as a wallpaper and so I decided to select "Change picture" in the preferences pane. I also selected "Random order" and chose "When waking from sleep" as the time for the wallpaper to change.
    However, if I close my lid, and then re-open it, when the computer wakes up, instead of the wallpaper changing, it changes twice.
    Now, this isn't really a problem but it can get annoying sometimes and I was wondering if this problem is due to something I do, rather than the operating system.
    Thanks.

    I just noticed something, perhaps this will help? There appear to be two kinds of sleep, display sleep and computer sleep. I noticed that if my machine is running (playing music, for instance) and the display goes to sleep, when I use the mouse to wake up the screen the background changes. So maybe when I wake up the machine from computer sleep it changes once for waking from computer sleep, and once more for waking from display sleep?

  • Monitor Blanks in and Out When Waking From Sleep

    Since getting my Mac Pro (with Apple installed RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT), I've noticed that the screen does not immediately turn on when waking from sleep, as my older Macs did. Rather, it turns on for a split second, goes blank for two seconds, turns on again for a split second, goes off again for a second or more, and then comes on permanently.
    This behavior only occurs when waking from sleep; it does not occur when the monitor turns on from the active screen saver.
    Is this normal for the MAC Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT? I have a HP w2408h monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable. Everything else works fine, including all video behavior.
    Thank you.

    Hm. Bluetooth, interesting. Thanks for the idea.
    I just opened the lid to see about the BT setting and the display didn't go off-on. The BT is off, I'm pretty sure I did that when setting it up as I don't use BT for anything.
    I wasn't suspecting anything was seriously wrong, it's just that quick-on feature was highlighted as a selling point and I was curious about the glitch, if it was a setting I could change, for instance like you've highlighted. Annoying when things don't work as advertised.
    And if I show the machine off to colleagues and friends, that will be a bad first impression they will want explained.

  • Drive sound when waking from sleep?

    Hi, I am getting a short 2-3 second drive sound when I wake my MBP from sleep. It sounds like it is checking to see if there is a disc in the drive or something. Also might be described as the sound when your first put a disc into the drive(but maybe shorter). Is this normal? And also if it is normal is there a way to stop it from making the noise because I actually find it annoying me, I wake my computer from sleep a lot throughout the day. My friends MBP who bought his just a few months before mine does not make a sound when waking from sleep. Thanks.

    They all do. All of them. Yours. Mine. Your friend's. Old PowerBooks. Brand new MBPs. Everything in between.
    My friends MBP who bought his just a few months before mine does not make a sound when waking from sleep.
    Maybe his optical drive is broken?
    Or, more likely, it's not waking up from sleep at all - Energy Saver settings can be used to set the display to sleep before the MBP sleeps - a key press will "wake" the display, but the MBP itself was not asleep, thus no noise from the drive when it the display is reactivated.

  • Require password ONLY when waking from sleep

    Hello,
    There is a setting that enables a password both when waking from sleep AND when "waking" from screen saver.
    Is there a way to require a password ONLY when waking from sleep, but NOT when "waking" from screen saver?
    Thanks!

    It would appear that the two are inextricably linked. On the other hand, do you really need the screen saver? With an LCD screen it isn't really doing anything useful - you can't burn in static images nearly as easily as you can with a CRT display - and if you are using a laptop you would do much better to use the Energy Saver prefs pane to sleep the display after a period - this will extend the life of the backlight - and AFAIK no password is involved.

  • Bizarre psychedelic display upon waking from sleep

    does this mean a logic board failure is imminent? the screen showed nothing but a bizarre, seemingly random collection of pixels in all colors - almost like multicolored tv 'snow.'
    I ran the hardware test disk, and it said the logic board 'passed,' but i'm not sure how it can test whether or not it's seated correctly.
    in any case, i've also been experiencing other display issues (black screen, typically), most commonly when waking from sleep.
    this is my wife's computer, by the way, and it's a desktop replacement - no travel, so it hasn't been abused at all.

    Does an attached external display show the same effects
    as the internal one? The supplied adapter should allow
    a second display to mirror the internal one, and this may
    help troubleshoot the extent of the hardware failure.

  • Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

    Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue.  The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

    Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK.  I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
    I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..
