My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.

Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier. I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French. When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode. I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case. I'll post again if I experience more problems.

NEW COMPUTER USING WINDOWS 7 WILL NOT WAKE UP FROM SLEEP MODE. I HAVE TO MANUALLY TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON.

New laptop with Windows 7 does not wake up from SLEEP MODE. I have moved the computer, moved the cursor, pushed every key on the keyboard, moved the space bar but nothing wakes it up. I always have to manually turn the computer off and then
turn it on again. I have searched the FORUM but don't see anyone having my problem. I have searched under SLEEP MODE in GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS 7 but I don't find where they address the different modes. Any suggestions?

Short flickering when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode MacBook Pro Late 2013

Hello everyone!
I have a question concerning the display of my new MacBook Pro with retina display (late 2013).
Sometimes when opening the lid when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode, the display is flickering for like two seconds. Then everything is normal again.
This specially occurs when the lid has been closed for a longer time. It makes no difference if the power adapter is plugged in or not.
Have you experienced a similar flickering with your MacBook Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
I have the same problem with my late 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. The constant flickering after being awoken from sleep was a minor annoyance for me so I contacted Apple Support.
I shall explain what I have done thus far, and I recommend you follow the same steps as I did to tick off possible causes:
Firstly, I reset my PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ph14222) and SMC (ttp://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964).
The issue still remained so I checked if the flickering occurred in a new user (if it does not then it points to your account having a setting which is causing the flickering - possibly third party). For me the flickering continued so I tested it in Safe Boot (which worked fine!).
I then ran (just to be certain) the Apple Hardware Test (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509). All seemed to be OK. So I reinstalled OS X and still the issue remained.
It was then I had an Apple Support person 'screen share' with me and we went through certain folders. My GPU folder had an unusual amount of files so we trashed them and began a restart however this led to a bigger problem; my notebook wouldn't boot (not even in Safe Boot!), so be very weary at this stage, I'm not sure if this was a rare case or we deleted something we shouldn't have. I then had to go into recovery mode to get back to square one.
Back to the initial problem I reinstalled a 'clean' OS X version from recovery mode; this was to determine whether if the data is corrupted on my account or if it's something else; most likely hardware by now even if there was nothing that came up in the hardware test (it won't account for everything). I checked from both a backup of my data and then from a fresh user after reinstalling OS X and still the flickering continued.
It was then a Senior Apple Support person set up an appointment to have my MacBook looked at and possibly repaired (it could be a minor wire causing the problem).
That is the point I am at now, so for my case it seems like a minor hardware problem. If your case is as similar as mine I recommend making an appointment with them to run more sophisticated hardware tests that your own MacBook would not run.
I will comment again when my issue is completely resolved for those who come across this Discussion in the future.
Hope this helps!

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
* Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
* After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
* The case is VERY hot.
* When I open the lid, the display stays black.
* No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
* Only way to recover is to power cycle.
* Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
Actions:
* AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
* I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
* AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

Well, the above two links have the problem similar to mine but not exactly. In first one there is a problem with network manager - that it is unable to restart after coming from sleep mode while that is not a problem in my case and I tried all the solutions provided in the second link, but didn't work.
What I figured is when I execute '#pm-suspend' and then close the lid. Then, after I open the lid I wireless works fine. 'pm-suspend' is not invoked if I close the lid. So I needed to invoke the above command when an acpi event is generated when I close the lid. So here is what I added in the /etc/acpi/handler.sh file
button/lid)
case "$3" in
close)
(sudo /usr/sbin/pm-suspend) #added
open)
This works fine for now. Still, I don't know why this solution works - Why executing pm-suspend solves my problem?

Computer won't wake up from sleep mode

Hello I am having an issue with my computer not waking up from sleep mode.
Example:
I walk away from my computer for a certain amout of hours and it goes into sleep mode. I come back and move the mouse or hit any keys on the keyboard; nothing, doesnt come back to life.
I have the latest driver updates, I have tried looking this up but came up with nothing, and also I thought that I set it so it wouldn't go to sleep but don't know if I did it right.
This is my computer:
Laptop Toshiba Qosmio x505-(sorry don't know the exact spec)
Thank you,
Dillan

Dillan
Try resetting the power plans to the default. Enter this at an elevated command prompt.
powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
If you need to repost, look on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. Gives us the full model name/number like Qosmio X505-Q830, and give us your model's part number like PQX33U-00K00H. As well, please confrim what OS version you're using like Windows 7 64bit.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Magic mouse not working when my computer wakes up from sleep mode sometimes

This does not happen all the time but it is starting to happen more and more. When my iMac is asleep and I wake it up the mouse is non responsive. I have looked at the green indicator light on the magic mouse and it does not respond as well. I have turned the mouse off then back on and that does nothing. I thank this may be a Bluetooth problem because I have tried this with 2 magic mice. The only way I can get it to work is to restart the computer.
Please advise??

I would add the mouse to bluetooth favorites in System Preferences > bluetooth > Highlight mouse on the left > click gear icon below this list > click "show more info" if not already checked > click the gear icon again and "add to favorites".

If that doesn't do it then a SMC reset might be in order:

Satellite Pro P300-1CG wakes up from sleep mode when unplug USB mouse

I often transport my laptop from one working place to another.
Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
However every time I unplug the USB mouse - the laptop wakes up and I have to put it into sleep again.
This is annoying. Is there any way to set up laptop _not_ to wake up on USB activity?
I didn't find any option in power settings of Vista, neither in BIOS.
My BIOS is up to date (just updated, but didn't help).
I use Windows Vista Business on Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1CG.

Hi
> Usually put it into sleep mode, unplug the USB mouse and lay in the bag.
Why you dont unplug the USB mouse firstly and then put the notebook into the sleep mode?
This would solve your issue ;)
From my knowledge the BIOS provides only the options: Wake-up on keyboard and Wake up on LAN.
There are no options for Wake up on USB and therefore such settings cannot be changed...
Cheers

Getting microphone alive after computer wakes up from sleep mode.

Is it possible to detect when the Flash Player "wakes up" from the computer's sleep mode? Is there an event that gets dispatched when a computer wakes up in any of the AIR specific classes? I need to reinstantiate a netstream connection and the mic when the computer wakes back up. Any guidance or pointers to do this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all your help and time!
Best,
Laz

It appears it is a specific update. You could try 2 things:
1) Verify and install the latest device drivers for your PC from the manufacture's support web site:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-70443
2) Install or uninstall one update at a time to narrow it down to specific update (KB number). If you find the offending update check / search the internet for the specific Microsoft KB article and what is intended to fix. It is possible there
is a newer update that supersedes it.

HP DM3 - Mouse Freeze's up when the computer wakes up from sleep mode.

Hi Guys,
I just had a DM3 with the 2.26 sp9300 intel chip built for me and every time the laptop goes to sleep and wakes up the mouse freezes up with a magnifying glass and its impossible for the mouse to do anything. I have to tab over to the task manager and tab down to the power button to restart my PC and than it works again. Anyone know whats going on? Driver problem? any updates yet?
Thanks !!
Jon

Hello,
I picked up my DM3 from PCWorld last night and I'm having the same problem every time (4 times) when I've closed the lid and re-open it again. The magnifying glass appears and I can't move the pointer using the trackapd and have to restart the machine to gain control again.
Any word from HP on a solution?

Whenever my mac wakes up from sleep it now asks me to give my password

After updating to Lion I had to update my Legacy FileVault to the 'new' FileVault. Done. But after that I have to give a password to wake up my mac even though this option is not checked in System Prefs>Security..>General>Require Password. Any ideas, and thank you ahead of time.

How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

Everytime I wake up my computer from Sleep Mode the sound starts to crackle on my X-Fi?

MacBook won't "wake" up from sleep, when being folded

When I "fold" computer it goes to sleep. But, when I flip up the screen again, my Mac won't "wake" up from sleep mode anymore.
Do anyone know how to fix this problem?
BR
Christian
I have a MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I've solved my problem.
I have reset my MacBook's PRAM settings.
It's very easy: link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Hope this helps
Best regards,
Christian

My password works fine when I turn the computer on, but when I try to wake it from sleep mode the computer doesn't recognize my password -- the same one I used successfully when I turned the computer on.
