Monitor does not come out of sleep Mac-Mini Mini-DVI to Dual DVI-D cable
I have an August 2009 Mac-Mini that I'm using with an Apple supplied Mini-DVI to DVI adapter along with a DVI-D Dual Link Cable connect to a Sceptre X7XV-Naga+ LCD monitor.
The monitor is going into sleep mode on its own with no way to disable this feature on the monitor itself. I've disabled sleep mode on the Mac-Mini in the power setting in System Preferences.
When in sleep mode and I move the mouse or press a key, the monitor will not come out of sleep mode. From other posts, I read that the issue might be that I wasn't using a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, so I bought one and installed such a cable. That has not resolved the problem. The monitor will not come out of sleep mode. When I have the monitor connected with a mini-display port to VGA adapter instead of a DVI-D cable, it will come out of sleep mode every time.

I know it's a year later, but I'm not finding much through search.
I have the same exact problem. Difference being I'm using an iMac with 10.7.5.
Same video board and monitor - ATI Radeon HD 6750M video card connected via DisplayPort to Samsing S24A850DW.
I've tried two different mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables and no change.
I think I read that 10.8.3 might fix the issue. Anyone that can confirm that, or has another solution?

New 2nd Gen Macbook Pro does not come out of sleep mode overnight
I bought the new generation macbook pro last week and every night when I closed the lid of the computer, it would not wake up in the morning. I had to press the on button several times before it restarted. I then get a message that my computer was shut down improperly. It also had some serious trackpad issues.
I brought it in and they gave me a new one. At first they thought I was given the older machine by accident...but I was not.
Anyway, I took it home and the first night it was okay but the 2nd night it had the same problem. fyi..I migrated all my files from the old computer to this one and don't know if that could cause the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have a disk in my mac but it does note come out useing command e to eject? how do i get it out or do I have to get it jixed?
Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

HP LaserJet P3005x will not come out of sleep mode
Printer will not come out of sleep mode (after being in sleep mode for an extended period of time (over 24 hrs)). When this happens, I can not ping the printer and pressing any of the buttons on the printer will not bring it out of sleep mode. I'm testing now to see if I can recreate this with the printer attached to my PC via USB.
Hi arosecarter,
I understand your monitor is not coming out of sleep mode. Take a look at the following support document, Resolving Problems with Sleep and Hibernate Modes (Windows 7). Step 3 might be of particular interest to you, as you mentioned your keyboard and mouse are not really working for you either. Perhaps it is another connected device that is causing the issue? Anyway, hopefully this document will be of help to you. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day.

Z87-G41 pc mate : monitor does not come back on after wakeup
Everytime the computer goes to sleep and wakes up, the monitor does not come on. I can shut it off and turn it back on and the desktop will flash, then goes black again. Just started doing this last week. I updated all drivers and this did not help either. I am running Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I have had this MOBO since last March with no problems. Any ideas?

Possibly some updates or changes has been made?(within windows/bios) -

Hi and thanks for joining HP Forums. Below are a couple of threads with multiple solutions to sleep/hibernate issues. Please read through these threads and see if any of these solutions will work to correct your problem. The mostly likely solutions such as allowing the video card to wake your computer and updating your drivers and BIOS are in the first link, but you may also find the solution in the second link.

Dbca does not come out after 100%
I have installed and configuredthe Oracle 9i Rel2 on RH Linux 9.
When I followed dbca steps to create a database, it does not come out after reaching 100%. I had to kill the process to end it. What could be reason? Because of this the init<SID> file is also not created.
Please explain
Mehul TrivediI have installed Oracle9i on RH9 and I was able to use
the dbca and really If your swap values in the OS are fine
I do know whatelse you can check.
If you want to create a database and the dbca is not
functioning you have another option ( Create it manually )

Ever since i got this powermac, it constantly does not spit out cds when i eject. I tried Disk util, Open firmware, unix, finder, mouse at startup, and only mouse at startup works sometimes. Other times, it holds on to it continuosly.
Please help!
( I don't know if this has already been answered or posted)
it has been through a history of bad hard drive fixing itself, also.
Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Weird history of Crash Repair
Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) Weird history of Crash RepairThere was a series of PowerMac's that got the wrong sized spacers for the superdrive and therefore the tray may not eject correctly due to height problems.
Contact Apple and give them your serial number.
If your handy you can switch out the superdrive yourself and Apple will just send you the replacement. -
Audio does not come out of my left speak
Hello,
I just installed a fresh installation of Vista two days ago.
When I installed it, I had a Sound Blaster Li've! 5. card in my machine, and the card did not work until I installed KM audio drivers (which made only the 2 rear speakers work).
Today I went out and bought the X-Fi Xtreme Audio card.
The installation appeared to work, and I installed the Vista drivers from www.soundblaster.com.
When I go to audio management, and test the speakers, audio comes out of all 5.
BUT - when Windows Media Player, MediaSource 5, and any other system sound plays... my front left and rear left speakers do not play a thing.
I know they are working, because when I tried the surround audio from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/democenter/9series/avquality/wmapromp3/default.htm
they all played, but when I played stereo... it only came out of front right and rear left.
ALSO - I can't seem to find the Entertainment Mode, and some other features advertised on the box and guide that came with the CD.
Does anybody know what I can do to fix these issues? Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony CoyHello, Alexander meerkat.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would start with resetting the System Management Controller. Here is the article on how to process these steps.

Hello,
I inserted a new DVD in my mac book pro, its working and the drive is reading the dvd but unfortunately is not coming out. I have tried several ways mentioned on all over the net and apple community websites but nothing has worked so far.
I need a easier and manual way to eject the DVD. Where is apple's help?
Please help me. This is one of the weaknesses Apple should work on because it is causing us pain and loss of efficiency which is not apple's quality.
ThanksThanks for asking, actually I just found a trick on a website.
It siad that restart MBP while holding eject button, I did it and DVD came out right away.
I hope that this works out for everyone.
But still there is a need for a manual eject system so that people don't worry about stucking the DVD or CD in th drive.
Thanks anyway dear. -
Desktop PC is connected correctly but monitor indicates no input signal & monitor goes to sleep mode. All my wireless laptops work ok. Does this have anything to do with wireless setup?
Although it appears the computer model name is incomplete, I assume you mean a HP Media Center m260n Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion w2207 LCD wide-screen flat panel monitor. The computer supports VGA only, unless you have previously installed an 8x AGP graphics card. The monitor supports both VGA and DVI-D.
The first step in troubleshooting this issue would be to connect the monitor to a known working computer using the same VGA cable. Does the monitor work??? Yes... could be the computer, No... could be the monitor or the cable. Next, connect the computer to another known working monitor with the same VGA cable. Does the monitor display a picture??? Yes, computer is good, No... computer or cable is bad. Post the results if you need more assistance.
