I use to be able to jiggle mouse and computer woke up--now I have to push on button on back of compter. Why? and how do I get back to my comfort zone. thanks

10.8.5: External Harddisk does not wake up with iMac after standby

After upgrade my iMac 27 early 2013 to 10.8.5 my external USB 3 harddisk (for TimeMachine Backup) does not wake up when my iMac wakes up from standby. The external disk is unmounted and a error message apears.
I had this problem really really rarely with 10.8.4 but now it is reproducable at any time.
Any hints?
PS: Yes, I have turnes of sleep mode of my external harddard in energy settings.
Thanks for any help...

I had the same problem with Time Machine and solved it by enabling "Enable Power Nap" in Energy Saver:
System Preferences...
Energy Saver
Restore Defaults
Check "Enable Power Nap: While sleeping, your Mac can back up using Time Machine and periodically check for new email, calendar, and other iCloud updates."

Computer does not wake up from stand by mode?

After leaving my mac alone, without doing anything for a while, the screen dims and eventually turns off (and it goes into standby mode, normally I presume). I think I have a screensaver set, but it never turns on and the screen is always black.
The serious problem comes when I try to wake the computer up. Jiggling the mouse, using the keyboard, and even pressing the power button do not usually invoke any response. The screen does not turn on unless I persist for 10 or more minutes in some situations. I have even unplugged, and plugged the computer back in with little or no results. Sometimes the screen will flash on for a second then turn off again. When I finally get it working it operates normally until the next time I need to wake it up. If I have any programs open before letting the computer fall asleep, then they are still open when I finally get the computer running (unless I unplugged it).
This is getting extremely annoying, and I can not seem to fix the problem. Do I have a virus? Is something malfunctioning? What can I do about this?
Getting a mac is seeming like a bad decision ...

This is absolutely not a virus, or any other kind of malware.
One thing to try is resetting the SMC.
If that doesn't work, it's possible that you have some bad software installed that is causing problems. Try restarting in safe mode, then leave the machine alone and let it go to sleep. Does the problem recur in that case, or does it go away? If it goes away, then returns as soon as you restart normally, it's a third-party software problem.

Computer does not wake up from suspend

Hi,
Lenovo 3000 V100 0763 - Windows Vista Business.
I have a very annoying problem:
putting the computer to sleep , or when closing the lid for sleep (the moon icon lits up)
and waking it after 10-15 seconds is ok.
But more than that , even for a couple of minutes the computer simply will not wake up , everything seem to load ok , but the screen stays black , and the computer is not responding , than I have to lose all my job and press 5 seconds on the off button to get it shutdown and than booted from scratch.
It happens on any installation of Vista, clean or Lenovo's original.
It happens on Windows XP too
I have tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the video driver , it will not help
The computer has the latest Bios , and the latest Lenovo drivers (which are mostly 2007 though)
Any expert help will be much appreciated. I am out of ideas.
Simply not feasable that a laptop will not be able to do such an elementary option :-(

Suggestion .. setup your signature .. Os & what your computer has on it .. It helps the solution..kinda like mine .. never too much info.
When the screen goes black, and touchpad has no life, Click "Fn" and then move your finger around on the touchpad .. works for me ..try that before you lightly press the power button ..
Right click the desktop, select properties, screen saver, power, select laptop, change the settings .. plugged - top left .. 30min, 1 hr, 3 hrs, 4 hrs hiber .. top right - on batts .. 10 min, 45 min, 2 hrs, 3 hrs hiber.. try my settings .. see if that works ..
Set a system restore before you start messing .. I turned stuff off stuff using .. start .. run .. type in msconfig, select start up tab, click off some you think might be ok to try .. kinda pot luck .. there might be some better postings ..after you reboot don't click save on changes untill you know things are working..
Re-imaging .. works good .. just backup what you want because it's gone afterwards.. if you send it in especially .. back it up!
Good Luck..

Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install fix does not work?

Hello:
After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
I found the following support article:
Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
Article: TS1543
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
delete Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I think a week would have gone by before I realized this on my own.

Computer does not wake up from sleep

I have my Macbook set up to prompt me for my password when I bring it out of sleep. Lately, however, it has woken to a black screen and does not bring up the prompt box for my password, leaving me unable to bring it out of sleep mode. I can usually fix this by restarting the computer manually, but it's still sort of troubling.
My computer has also been running warmer lately, even though I haven't been placing as much a load on its memory as usual. That, I haven't been able to solve--even reducing the number of applications keeps it running at a higher temperature than usual. Any suggestions?

Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes drop down menu. Click twice on the CPU column header to display in descending order. You are looking for a process consuming a large amount of CPU time. This is generally the sign of a crashed process. Select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. This should kill the runaway process.
Open the Console application and check for any entries that may indicate why the process crashed. Often it's caused by an application that is incompatible or by a corrupted preference or cache file.

After Lion Upgrade, External Display ( DVI ) Not detecting Monitor.

This problem is on my Macbook Pro 17" 2006 (ish) intel core 2 duo.
I have allways used the display port with a DVI cable connected to a DVI port on an external monitor to extend my desktop.
For some reason after upgrading to Lion, I can't detect the external display. If I use an adapter ( Display connector to VGA ) and connect into the VGA input on the monitor, all works fine.
I did connect to the DVI port and left it connected for about an hour, then clicked the " Detect Displays " button, and it worked once. But after this it hasn't worked again.
I have changed the cable, and even the monitor, but it just won't detect..
Any Ideas ??

After ugrading to LION i can't use an external monitor or TV-screen.
Just purchased a Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter to connect my 13" macbook to an HDTV. I plugged the mini display to hdmi adapter into my macbook and then connected an hdmi cable from the adapter to the tv. the macbook display briefly went blue but then display the normal screen again.
I've search for the past few hours with no luck. I've tried to manually detect the display and nothing. I've tried 2 different TV's and both have the same result. I've tried rebooting my macbook also with no luck. Am I missing something? If I go into System Preferences > Displays there is no mirroring options or anything like that. It just shows the "Color LCD" option. Like I said, upon clicking the "Detect Display" button, nothing changes and no additional display are detected for use.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After Lion upgrade Applications folder will not display alphabetically by Name.

The list will change display when selecting label, date, etc.; however, when choosing Name, the display is still not alphabetical.

Thanks for the quick advice!
Unfortunately, I am still unable to open my core productivity apps, namely Skype and Evernote. Twitter, as well, could not start. But interesting quick fix though, I never knew you could do that.
Here's the error log after the restart:
What else should I try?

After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
Does anybody else have that problem?
Thanks!
Hank

I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
Thanks,
Chris

After Lion upgrade, MacBookPro has trouble wake from sleep.

After Lion upgrade, my Macbook Pro now sometimes will not wake from sleep. If I close the lid the pulsating light pulsates. Open the lid and the pulsating light goes out and the keyboard backlight activate, screen blank and no keyboard response.

I've been looking for answers, since upgrading to lion, my problem is more of a nusance, when I close the lid on my macbook pro (15" 2.66 i7, 8GB RAM) and it goes into sleep mode, when I reopen the screen the screen backlight comes up momentarily, then goes black (screen image there, just no backlighting) nothing gets it to come out (reclose/open, clicking trackpad, any keys, etc.) except the F1 key. Pushing the F1 "wakes" the backlighting, then I just hit the F2 to brighten it back up, I don't have any further issues until I close it again. Granted not that big of a deal given all the issues everyone else is having with this, but still a nusance I would like to fix. Don't know if this will work for you, but it's been working for me.
I have the same problem with my MBP 17"
Would have been nice if Apple had taken the time to respond.

MBP does not wake after closing lid

MBP does not wake a when I open the lid,

I have the same problem.
In Leopard I could hit esc a couple of times and it would restore the display. In Lion no matter what I try nothing works except a total power down and reboot.
I can hear the hard drive searching around but no screen.

I want to use icloud on my macbook and cant because I am using OSX10.6.8 - I want to upgrade this but I cant upgrade to mountain lion as my mac does not support this - cannot find a way to go to Version 10.7.4 which i understand supports icloud - help

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.
