Airport no longer works after resuming from sleep

I got a new MacIntel a month or so ago, and it has always done this, under 10.4.4 and now 10.5.5
When resuming from sleep, airport shows full strength for second, then the signal disappears. NOTHING in settings, reconnecting etc will get it to work again. (this is 'deep' sleep, not just the display turning off)
If you restart (restart not shut down), then when it comes back, airport is just gone - even the menu bar indicator. The computer now thinks it has no airport installed at all. No matter how many times you restart, there is no longer any airport.
If you shut down, wait a minute and restart, it works as normal.
Since airport is the only way I connect to the network, and I don't want to waste electricity, this is unacceptable and clearly a flaw.
I called tech support and they had me move airport to the top of the list, delete plists and other stuff, none of which made any difference. I'm thinking this is a low level system software fault, and I hope I don't have to take it back for a motherboard replacement.

I also have this problem, although, not very often.
I'm still running 10.4.4. This never happened with
prior versions. Rebooting is the only way to
correct the problem. Simply turning off Airport and
turning it back on does not help.
Thats interesting actually because I Never had any trouble on my G5 iMac of otherwise identical specification, on on intel. Hmm. I was thinking this was an intel issue.
Wonder if its a hardware problem (though I suspect not).

  • Fingerprin​t reader not working after resuming from sleep

    I kind of mentioned this problem in a previous post and was directed here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245 which is a patch that could possibly fix it.This patch didn't work. What is happening is when my laptop comes back from sleep either the fingerprint reader is unresponsive, it says "waiting..." at the top of the screen instead of the normal scan message and is unresponsive, or in some cases when I click other credentials it shows a third account (first is my account, second is the reader account,and the third is a stop sign thing that says the fingerprint reader isn't attached). When I sign in with my normal password and try to go to the fingerprint software it pops up a little window that is labeled Lenovo Fingerprint 2.0 and the message is "Pleae wait...".
    Other then returning from sleep the fingerprint reader has been working fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Solved!

    Well I got it working again but I'm not exactly sure how. I will go over what I went through so you guys can get an idea and possibly fix it. To start off I talked to MS support and I worked with them for a really long time. They tried intstalling different drivers (other then AuthenTec) and anytime we did that it would say "Fingerprint reader not available" at the login. They tried changing the power settings and which devices could wake up my computer and that had no effect either. I called Lenovo and they basically just told me to download the software that was already on the computer and change the option to have it wake up the computer, which doesn't exist. They were very unhelpful.
    What eventualy got it working (and it's been working so far), is uninstalling the driver and software. Then reinstalling it all and installing the patch linked above. The first time I installed it I just double clicked it and went through the installation process. But you need to go into the folder it installs it into (C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\FPIRPON\) and double click FPIRPOn.reg which will add the fix to the registry. On top of this I also went into Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer to turn of the fingerprint reader under Properties->Power Management for the device. The last thing I did was do a registry edit to force the USB to reset when waking from sleep. I found the registry edit here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631/en-us.
    So I am pretty sure it was the patch that fixed it when I correctly installed it because I had tried both the power management thing to keep it from getting turned off AND the registry edit and it didn't work. I also thing that Vista SP1 fixes what the registry edit does, but I tried it anyways because I was desperate haha. I'm going to undo the registry edit and power management thing one at a time and see if it still works. If it doesn't keep working I'm guessing it's a hardware problem and going to call Lenovo to get it fixed.
     Anyone who is having this problem I would suggest they try the patch in the link that I first posted (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)and follow the installation instructions carefully. Good luck!

  • Screen is not working after resuming from sleep mode

    Hello,
    i got a problem with my ideapad u330 touch, after i got out of the sleep mode my screen will not come on, so I need to switch it off and back on again then it works fine.
    I recently upgraded to win 8.1, i don't know if it has something to do with this, but before it works fine.
    Thank you very much

    hi McGuinness,
    Are you able to recreate the issue if you boot in Safe Mode?
    Things that you can try:
    1. Press the Windows logo key‌ +R and type devmgmt.msc. On the Device Manager, navigate to the Display Adapter (right click > choose Properties) and on the Driver Tab, check if the Rollback Driver is clickable to restore the previous display driver.
    2. Navigate to the Control Panel > Programs and uninstall the Intel display driver and reboot. Navigate to the D:\Drivers folder and locate the Intel Display driver installer (D:\Drivers\VGA\Intel) or download and run the file below to re-install the display driver.
    Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
          Version 9.18.10.3165
    After installing. Try to put the computer to sleep and observe (if the power button is blinking, this indicates that the unit is in sleep mode).

  • Airport Card turned off when resuming from sleep - New since 10.6.6

    I use safe sleep regularly, as I use my laptop at both work and home. Ever since the update to 10.6.6 though, I have had to manually turn my Airport connection back on after resuming from sleep.
    Previously, although it was unreliable about connecting to a preferred network (an unrelated, but equally frustrating issue*) at least it would remain on. Now I've had to add the icon to my Menu bar just so I don't have to dig into System Preferences every single time I reawaken my laptop.
    Does anyone know why this is happening, and if there is anything I can do to prevent it? I apologize if this has been asked before, but when I searched I was unable to find anything.
    *This issue is unrelated and not the focus of my post, but if you happen to know about it I would absolutely appreciate your input.
    When resuming from sleep, despite being between 5-20 feet from my preferred router I will often receive a dialog asking me to select from a list of SSIDs and enter a password even though that information is already saved. Then, once I complete this information Airport doesn't actually connect and the only way to resolve the issue is to turn Airport off and then back on. After this, it will automatically connect with no problems and remain connected until I put the computer into Sleep mode again.

    Maybe check in your keychain and verify the password saved is correct for your wireless router?
    Do you broadcast the network name?
    Could you describe "unreliable about connecting to a preferred network"?
    Is "use secure virtual memory" checked in the Security preference pane? If so try unchecking that maybe? If it's a hibernation issue sometimes that could cause weirdness.

  • My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep

    Hello
    My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep every time I use it
    It happens every time the mac resumes from sleep and it started like a week ago
    I remember installing the new updates for flash? and xquartz and nothing else.
    I have also had microsoft word installed on my mac for about 1 weeks before this problem started so might be related to that
    Please share with me any tips on how to fix this because I am really annoyed of losing stuff after each time my mac resumes from sleep

    I have an iMac bought may -11, and it worked fine with Snow Leopard.
    About a week ago I bought and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Everything went fine, and all software worked ok. iPhoto had some problems, but after installing update the system prompted to do, it has worked ok.
    The propblem occurs now and then, when computer is waked up from sleep. The Desktop occurs, but no software starts, not even System Tools untlil rebooting the computer. Of course, I can not reboot the computer from "Apple menu", but holding the power button down.
    This is very embarassing! OsX Mountain Lion has turned out to be a very big disappointment. I installed id because of iCloud (i have a new iPad, too with iOs 6 installed).
    Can anyone help me? Is there any other way to solve the problem than re-installing good old Snow Leopard?
    I would not like to do that, I bought Mac because I was bored in re-installing and recovering!
    Thank you

  • Slow LAN Networking Speeds after Resuming from Sleep

    I use my mac mini as a HTPC running Plex. I have it connected to my Windows media server with 802.11n. Works fine but sometimes after resuming from sleep the network speed drops off to an unacceptable level (from 72 Mb/sec to 5 Mb/sec). Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. Switching to G doesn't help. Only restarting the mini restores the connection to full speed.
    None of my Windows clients on the same network have any troubles.
    Thoughts?

    Looks like Plex might be causing the problem. I always have plex running and it appears as though if Plex makes a request for a file on the share before OS X is done re-mounting it after sleep, it kills the whole process.
    Shouldn't the OS be robust enough to handle a situation like this?

  • Update to 10.6.8 - system hang (mouse issue) after resume from sleep

    I am on older
    MacBook Pro3.1
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.6GHz
    Run on 10.6.8 almost flawelessly. Shortly after upgrade to 10.6.8 system started to hang periodically after resuming from sleep. Symptoms are that it stops responding to mouse (be it touch pad or USB mouse). Keyboard seems to be ok but system doesn't seem to be fully functional. I am able to ssh from the other computer and 'shutdown -r now' after reboot system seem to be ok until next resume from sleep. What interesting though is that this problem newer manifests then I am using external monitor.

    Found problem. It was due to magic mouse that I left on. I carry this mouse in the laptop bag but rarely use it. Last time I used it (around the same time I install the update) I left it on in the bag. It was apparently disconnecting/connecting on its own and by some reason sometimes was breaking touch pad and other usb mouse connected to laptop, as soon as I switched magic mouse off broblem was fixed

  • My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

    My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero.  I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
    I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

    Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
    When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
    A. run Disk Warrior
    B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

  • T440S OSD Brightness control failure after resume from Sleep

    Hi,
    I have owned a T440S since late 2013.
    Relevant Details:
    T440S
    Model : 20AQCTO1WW
    OS : Windows 7 professional (original installation by Lenovo)
    Latest Drivers installed as of June 2014 - including HotKey and Power Management
    HotKey ver : 8.30
    Power Managment : 6.65.1
    Since receiving this laptop, OSD birightness control has always failed to work, i.e. does not appear on the screen
    when using the Fn+F5/F6 key combination nor does it control actual screen brightness AFTER FIRST resuming from sleep
    mode.
    Sequence of steps that demonstrates the above symptom:
    1. OSD brightness works fine after reboot
    2. Putting the machine to sleep (I do not use hibernate) for a duration longer than a few minutes
    3. Open lid  the first time, hit Fn to resume machine
    4. Pressing Fn+F5/F6 key combo does not display the brightness slider nor does it control brightness
    5. Closing the lid and opening it again, causes OSD brightness slider to flash brifely and is now fully functional
        using Fn+F5/F6 keys
    Your tech department should easily be able to re-create this issue on any stock T440S/Win7pro machine, as
    I have seen others comment about this very issue across other T440/OS variants.
    This very same behavior has been there since the beginning.
    When is Lenovo going to FINALLY FIX IT ONCE AND FOR ALL?

  • USB ports don't work after resuming from standby with Windows 8 on X230 tablet

    I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 on my X230 tablet.  Before installing Windows 8 I installed the most recent BIOS for this machine (version 2.50).  After installing Windows 8 I installed System Update from the Lenovo Website and downloaded all the recommended drivers and other files.  I've also installed all the latest Windows 8 updates.
    Here are the symptoms of my problem: After resuming from standby/sleep mode, my USB ports do not work.  My computer has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports.  All exhibit the same behavior.  After resuming from standby mode I have tried inserting both my mouse and a USB thumbdrive, but neither are recognized.  After restarting Windows, the USB ports work again... until I resume from standby mode again.
    I hope there is a solution to this issue.  It is very frustrating.

    Thanks for the suggestion about tweaking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device" feature.  I un-checked that box for every entry I could find under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in the Devide Manager.  Unfortunately, the same symptoms of my problem persisted.
    I went back and looked at the README file associated with the BIOS 2.50 download on Lenvo's support site.  At the bottom of the file it gives a "Summary of Changes".  Under version 2.03 of the BIOS (the version just before version 2.50), it says:
    - (Fix) Fixed an issue where USB device might not detected when system resume from sleep mode.
    This indicates that Lenovo support was already aware of such issues.  The problem was intended to be fixed in version 2.03 of the BIOS.  However, the issue persists on my machine, even with the latest BIOS.
    Hopefully someone from Lenovo can comment here.

  • X120E Touchpad inoperable after resuming from sleep

    hello friends I'm a happy X120E user and a tech [pc's, mac's, lans, etc] - I do all sorts of tasks with my x120e and its been great.  I recently "upgraded" my SSD so a fresh new install of Windows 7 was in order.  After updating everything I have a problem I did not experience previously at all - not once in 3 years of use.
    Upon resuming from sleep [and as far as I can remember this only occurs when resuming on battery], the touchpad/cursor is inoperable, frozen in the centered position, and I have found no way to 'wake' it.  I finally have to shutdown/restart to get things functioning again.  Keyboard works fine, but not touchpad or trackpoint [either/both].
    maddeningly, its not consistent in this. sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.
    I have seen the same issue with, and without, the supplied Lenovo Ultranav driver installed. 
    Question: in the X120E implementation, is the touchpad a PCI bus device or a USB device?  I see no power plan options [i.e. "Advanced" >"Allow this device to wake the computer"] available via Device properties. There are no pointer/mouse/touchpad options whatsoever under Power Plan Settings.
    Will Fn+F8 enable/disable the touchpad on this notebook?  or,... should it?

    No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
    What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

  • Can't get yosemite to working after waking from sleep mode

    I just installed Yosemite to my Mac Mini.  When the computer goers to sleep for more then 30 seconds I can wake the computer but then after i see the desktop I can't do anything on the computer every click i make does not respond and I have to force the computer to shut down and I have to reboot every time my computer goes to sleep.

    I have the exact same issue for the first time after installing Yosemite.  On resume from sleep, I can see the desktop, and can move the cursor with the mouse, but clicking on icons, etc. does nothing, and the keyboard does nothing. A cold boot works fine. This is a Mac Mini bought in the Summer of 2014. I run no unusual software. I have eliminated all log in items in Preferences/Accounts, reset the NPRAM, have no peripherals (other than standard Apple mini mouse and wireless keyboard), and have shutdown and unplugged to reset.  It makes no difference whether a password is required or not - once it goes to sleep, this is the result, and only a forced shut-down by holding the power button and a cold boot give me control back.  This problem does not appear if it merely goes into screensaver mode - which I invoke with a hot corner.

  • Keyboard & Mouse Not Working on Resume From Sleep

    About 1/10 of the time when I resume from sleep my keyboard and mouse do not work. They wake the computer (a 27" iMac) but do not work any longer past that, requiring me to hard reboot my computer (holding the power button to turn off then rebooting).
    I have no issues using my keyboard and mouse, both bluetooth, at all. When this happens, even hooking up an external keyboard does me no good as it also does not work. Sleeping and reawakening does no good either.
    Anyone have any ideas? So far nothing seems amiss when it comes to my configuration or hardware. Thanks in advance!

    I have experienced the same problem which affects a 3rd party USB mouse and my wireless trackpad. Both may be unresponsive when the computer (late 2009 21.5" iMac) wakes. When it happens both devices are affected, never just one of them.
    I don't need to reboot to fix the problem.  The mouse responds by disconecting and re-connecting. The trackpad reconnects by holding its power button for a few seconds.
    The problem does not affect my wireless keyboard.
    No clues on the Console. Sorry I can't be more help.

  • Mac Os X Lion Crashes after resuming from Sleep

    Hi Everybody, i'm experiencing an issue on my 13'' MBP Early 2011 (i5 processor, 4GB RAM, 750GB HD SATA). My MBP often got stuc after i resume from my monitor sleep. I'll explain it in a better way: After i resume from sleep, there's at first a black screen in which the mouse can move, after that the mouse becmes the classic loading wheel and it freezes copletely, remaining in this situation. I thought it was a screensaver compatibility issue, but the problem stand still after i uninstalled screensaver and deactivate the screensaver options. I think it's a problem with Lion with the HD, but i have no evidence of it. Can Anyone help?
    Thank you in advance,
    Daniele.

    Whenever someone comes to me with crashing and freezing on waking up I look at 3 things and typically in this order:
    (1) Hard drive - usually if it is the hard drive SMART has already given a warning if the drive is actually failing or running Disk Utility reveals problems - often problems that cannot be fixed. Also, when the crashes are related to the hard drive there may actuallly be nothing wrong with the drive and a simple erase and reinstall will fix it.
    (2) Software issues - the old trick of creating a new account and logging into it to see if the problem is in your account or global helps. Looking in console to see if there's an error message logged just before the crash can be instructive - or not. Often the crash occurs before an error is logged. Sometimes reinstalling the OS is the solution - that's where having a FireWire hard drive is helpful. I can just boot with it and see if the computer still crashes on waking. If not I know to reinstall the OS.
    (3) RAM - marginal and faulty RAM can be the culprit in many cases. The frustrating thing about RAM is that RAM tests seldom give false positives, if the test says you have bad RAM, you do. Unfortunately when the test reveals nothing wrong the RAM might still be defective, just not enough for the test to catch.
    However, past history has led me to put RAM at the top of the list after an OS upgrade. Marginal RAM has been the culprit of many crash on wake problems with previous OS upgrades. I especially recall Leopard and Snow Leopard being affected - at the shop where I sometimes work we did a lot of RAM warranty replacements after those two upgrades. And here at the support forum we saw lots of people complaining of crash on wake problems coming back and saying, "Yep, got my RAM replaced and all is well." So if any of you are like me and upgraded your RAM, if you have the original RAM sitting around swap it in and see if the crashes stop.
