17" MBP expresscard slot not working after wake-up

MBP6,1 17" SL 10.6.8
I'm trying to use a bunch of expresscard devices (3 different types of SD card readers as well as two SSDs). All 5 devices are being recognized by OSX and work well as long as the MBP is awake. After closing the lid and open it after a while I always get an error message that the media has been removed improperly. The media (SD card or SSD) is then dismounted and needs to be checked for file system errors.
I have an open incident at German Apple Support (Hotline) for more that 1 year regarding this issue.
IMHO it seems that the expresscard slot doesn't wake up in time before the file system of the SD/SSD media is being accessed and OSX then treats the media as "improperly removed".
I wonder if anyone is suffering from the same issue?
What are my chances of being heard by Apple (at last)?
Could this issue be fixed in Lion or will Lion be identical to Snow Leo (under the hood)?
Best,
Jan

Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage.

Alum BT keyboard does not work after wake up - but BT trackpad does!

Here is my set up:
MBAir 2011 model (13", i7 4GB, Lion.. all up to date)
Desktop set up (same at work and home)
- Thunderbolt display
- Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard
- Aluminum Bluetooth Trackpad
What I do:
- Plug in the sleeping mbair into my display via thunderbolt and power cable
- Wake up using external bluetooth trackpad
- computer wakes up and external trackpad is functional (it always works)
- 7/10 times the external keyboard will not connect to enter password to get into system
     - I have tried power button banging on it for a long time and does not work
     - open mbair and type password in and remove keyboard and repair and after several tried it will work
     - then I can close mbair and use external keyboard
     - painful to do this most days at home and work
What have I tried
- PRAM, SMC reset
- remove all BT entries - trash blutooth properties files and freshly add them back
- I have tried waking using keyboard as well and it does not work
Only think I have wanted to try and have not found out is, if keyboard can reset to factory.
Yes I also have the occasionaly wifi not connecting from sleep issue

Hello
Have you noticed this problem on factory settings or only on your Windows 7 installation? Maybe its just a driver or software issue
Make also sure that latest BIOS version is installed. Look on the Toshiba website for an update:

Before you start the update, make sure that all programs are closed and you are logged in as Administrator.

Ram slots not working after CMOS reset

Im using MSI K9N Neo V2 mb, and it was doing fine until i reseted CMOS. Now 3 out of 4 ram slots are not recognized by BIOS nor Windows. Im sure that ram memory is ok, cause ive checked all of it by replacing it between ram slots, and they're only working in slot nr 4.
I know that the MB is old, but everything was working fine, and suddenly went wrong after CMOS reset
Things i did to fix:
Updated BIOS
Msconfig memory uncheck box
Cleared CMOS with jumper
Replaced CMOS BAT
Checked if smth's wrong with cpu
Cleared RAM slots with rubbing alcohol
System wont even boot without memory in DIMM 4 (ram slot 4), and BIOS only recognizes memory in DIMM 4
This is really frustrating, because there is no reason for smth to not work all of a sudden
Any help? Tnx

There is a known issue with Powerbooks with the lower memory slot failing, and it sounds like yours may be starting to fail. At one point there was an Apple recall for a small sliver of Powerbook systems to fix that.
The alternatives are to run with 1GB in the upper slot, try one of the internet vendors that say they can fix that (check references), or install a used logic board. I don't believe Apple is repairing Powerbooks anymore, so if you want to buy a used logic board, you'll need to install it yourself, or perhaps an Apple Authorized Service Provider would be willing to do the work.

Thinkpad T440s - trackpad not working after wake up

HI,
I have an annoying issue with my new T440s.
Trackpad stops working after I get it out of sleep. In fact, it works partially (two finger, edge scrolling is OK).
Even I re-install the driver, it won't work everytime.
Any suggestions? Is this a hardware issue?
thank you.

Just more information about the issue:
The trackpad is acting like being disabled in BIOS.
2 finger scroll , side scroll are fine. When my screen dims down, I touch the pad and screen is back up.
"enable touchpad" is grayed out in Mouse Properties under control panel.
All trackpad features are fine, only the mouse is not working.
Another thing I noticed: when I get to Windows login screen works fine (sometimes), but then, once I get authenticated and get Windows loaded, its stops working.
BTW, I'm using Windows 7
Driver reinstall, reload factory image, enabled/disabled in BIOS.. nothing helps.
Hopefuly a Lenovo stuff would read this and share some thoughts.
This is my second 440s replacement. First one did not wake up, after it gets to sleep.

USB devices not working after wake from sleep on WinXP!!! HELP PLEASE!

I would like to put my windows xp to sleep whenever I leave the macbook pro for fear of overheating too much when I'm not using it.
The only problem is that I can't use any more USB devices if I plug them in once I wake it from sleep.
Like my mouse for example, I'm using a laser mouse with a usb plugin but it doesn't respond once I try to use it after WinXP on wake....
Experiencing a ton of wake problems lately...
Sleep is important for a MBP....I hope...

Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

W530 WiFi not working after wake-up on Windows 8.1 64-bit

Hi,
I have W530 that I bought in 2013, I have Windows 8.1 installed.
When I wake up my computer from sleep, by operning the lid, the WiFi status shows as active, Internet as available -- I get the icon with 5 bars. Unfortunatley, when I try to access anything on the web or ping, I get information about unknown hosts or network not being reachable.
When I reboot, everything is okay. This is not a wi-fi problem, as I checked with my phone in the same time and the internet worked.
I noticed this happens when I move my laptop from one workplace to another or from work to home.
Do you have any ideas how could I debug this problem?

Correct everything works great, WiFi has never been faster and stable. I can resume from a suspend and Windows 8.1 wakes up and connects to the internet immedately.
Bluetooth works great even with the device manager "!" shown from the older bluetooth. I assumed the old bluetooth was part of the old mini pci card. (I guess not)
It was suggested I remove the old bluetooth daughter card. I'll need to figure out where that is exactly. I might just leave it alone if it's too hard to get to but need to find out.
And no the special firmware while not easy to flash is totally safe. They just stripped out the whitelist. I'd be happy to help anyone via teamview that needs help updating if they are not good with dos commands.

Multi-touch not working after wake-up

Everytime my late 2008 unibody macbook pro (15 ") runs out of power and wakes up again, the multi-touch is gone and the acceleration is wonky on my trackpad. Has anybody else got this problem? Does anybody know how to fix this (i've installed every update there is)

Don't run it out of power before reconnecting the AC adapter. Deep discharges are harder on the battery than partial ones, so this is good advice even for someone who isn't having the problem you are.

Satellite M70-394: WLan does not work after wake up from standby

Hi all....
I have a problem with my WLan connection and hope one of you may be able to help. Starting my computer from off there isn't a problem with the WIFI connection but if I put the computer into standby by closing the lid and then restarting it from there the light comes on briefly for wi fi but then goes off and the only way I can connect is through a cable.
Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi
I have read in the forum that some similar "Wlan standby" issues were fixed by BIOS update.
I think you should compare the BIOS version on the notebook with the BIOS which is available on the website. If there is a new update try to upgrade it
Be sure that you have chosen the right BIOS.

MacBook Pro 13 OS ver. 10.6.8

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded OnyX and ran the cleaning function. After restarting, I opened Help and once again the first screen appeared fine. But again most of the links did not work, though those under the "What's New" heading did work. I might add that I had previously tried a variety of suggestions posted in another thread, which included deleting from the caches folder in Home>Library several files such as com.apple.helpui and help.plist in the Preferences folder. (As noted in my previous post this evening, I also created another user but that also did not have any effect.) Any other ideas? Thanks

My MBP 15" early 2008 / 10.6 ((2.4GHz Core 2 Duo/2GB/256MB VRAM/200GB 5400rpm) is not working after looking to aYouTube short film. It made a strange strong noise , I closed it and when I switched on again I have a gray display and a frozen wheel on it... Can you help? Do I have to repair or change any part ? Thanks

That model has a known fault in that Nvidea sold Apple and other computer manufacturers bad GeForce 8600M GT video chipsets that failed eventually. Apple had a program that repaired this at no cost to the owner but it expired almost two years ago.
If this is what happened to yours, and the symptoms suggest so, the only proper fix is a new logic board and I amd pretty sure Apple no longer has parts. When my Late 2007 MBP (same faulty chipset) failed, Apple told me there were no more parts and they could not even do the fixed-rate "depot repair" on mine even though I was willing to pay the ~US$300 for the repair.
The early 2008 MBP is on the vintage and obsolete list:
Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
The fact that yours is shown as "vintage" means Apple will not work on it but an independent service provider MAY be able to get the parts from Apple. However, as so may new logic boards were required to satisfy the repair program, from a practical standpoint boards for these are hard to find.

New MBP i5 does not boot after hard disk swap

Hi there,
I received my new i5 MBP today. After booting it once with the installed HDD to check if it's ok, I exchanged the hard disk for the one in my Late 2008 Macbook Pro. After doing this, my Late 2008 Macbook Pro boots fine with the (new) hard disk from the new i5 MBP, but the i5 MBP does not boot with my old hard disk.
To give you some details:
- I have installed 10.6.3 on the (old) hard disk that's not booting.
- The i5 MBP boots fine from the installation DVD
- Disk utility finds and can read my hard disk, no errors
- PRAM NVRAM reset did not help
- when booting in safe mode, I can see the system stop booting after or while loading Extensions.mkext
My guess is, it tries to boot and load the wrong Extensions for the new system (CPU? GPU?). I have no idea how to fix this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Focx,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Inserting the drive from an earlier model MBP will probably not work. The version of the system you have on that HD is designed for earlier hardware so when you put in in your new machine it's going to be recognized. What I'd recommend is re-installing the disk that came with the new machine and of course putting the 2008's disk back in the old machine. Then use Migration Assistant on the new machine and migrate your data from the old machine into the new machine.
This will provide a much more stable system and should work just fine.
Regards,
Roger

My laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade,

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
Any answers on how to fix it? I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.

ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:
