Has anyone solved the bluetooth pairing after sleep issue

I still get this problem I wake my mac and no mouse ! it won't pair, prefs says its connected but its not. A reboot works, but whats the piont of that it should work..

Great, done that appears to have done it. I will check after an extended sleep, as thats when it tends to go wrong.
It is a bit tedious to have to keep ironing out Lion bugs. If I had spent £350 on a Windows machine I would expect this, but when I spend £2000 on a Mac I do feel it should just work.

On opening after "sleep" I get a pop up saying "disc was not ejected properly etc. Going on for months! How can I get rid of it, please? Peter

On awakening iMac after sleep, I get a pop up saying "The disc was not ejected properly....." etc. Presumably this was a disc of photos or a slideshow I had put onto a disc at some time past. This has been going on for months. I have inserted and ejected thru Finder all the discs I have, and still it persists. Any ideas of how to get rid of it, please?

phillashby, if you just upgraded ML to 10.8.5 then the problem may be caused by a bug in the upgrade. If you look around the forum other people are having the same problem after going to 10.8.5
I recently upgraded to OS 10.8.5 and now when my iMac (late 2012) wakes from sleep I get the error mesage that my Lacie external thunderbolt raid drive has been ejected improperly. Then it reconnects right away. I will stay away from the sleep mode for the moment.

External hard drive disappears when imac wakes up after sleep

Hi Everyone.
Got a really silly question but I can't seem to figure out where to fix this
I have 4 USB 500gig hard drives all run off a 13 port powered hub.
Now I have one hard drive set aside for my films which I and ripping so they can be view via my apple tv 2nd gen. The other is for MP3's and the other 2 get are redundunt at the moment.
No the problem is when I rip a DVD, I rip it to the hard drive on the iMac and then trans the files to the external drive. As I rip them at a high quality (2 to 3 gigs per film) I get the transfer box saying it will take X amount of time. The only thing is the iMac after some minutes will go to sleep.
When you wake it up the hard drives have disappeared and the is an error saying the drive have been ejected incorrectly.
I'm assuming the iMc is putting the drives to sleep when it goes to sleep.
Is there a way to keep the hard drives running but only put the momitor to sleep. The problem is also happening when I use USB memory sticks (I have a 4/8/16 & 32gig sticks all with various bits of info that I am sorting out from the move from Windows PC to Mac.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this fix coz I can't seem to find the setting
Thanks
Rick

When you are doing this, set the drive to never sleep, slider completely to the right and display sleep to something like five minutes. Or just hit Control-Shift-Eject, to sleep the display. Uncheck "put the hard disks to sleep..." That said, the firmware on the externals may be spinning them down. But this shouldn't be happening if they are being written to.

CS5.5 Master Collection/Lion/iMac freezes after sleep

In brief, looked at all the discussions, tried deleting the appropriate plists and so on, but I still have problems with photoshop, illustrator and indesign crashing/freezing randomly after I wake my iMac from sleep mode.
Everything is up to date, drivers, scripts etc. I have had Lion and CS5.5 co-existing happily for a while problem free, its only been the last 3 weeks that I have noticed the problem. If anyone has any solutions, Im all ears.
Steve

Wow I have had a couple of days off and I see the discussion has advanced. I will upload a crash report next time it happens. Looking over the responses, Suitcase Fusion 3 is another culprit I have suspected of bringing on the freeze. Also yes it is mainly with Indesign and Illustrator that the freeze happens but Photoshop has frozen too but not as much. A typical scenario would be I leave my desk for 10 min or so and come back, wake my screen from sleep via the keyboard, only to find that one of the programs I was just using let say Indesign would be frozen with the spinning beach ball of doom. I would then command tab to illustrator only to see the same thing has happened to illustrator. Now Photoshop in this case would be a 1 in 4 chance of the same thing happenning at the same time. Now the unusual thing is that it doesn't always happen. I could go for a couple of days with no problems. I use the programs quite equally in a given day. Ive just got back into the habit of saving every time I get out of my seat, like back in the old days. Over the next week Ill monitor the behaviors of the programs and report it. As I am writing this I have just received an Email from Extensis saying there is an upgrade to suitcase fusion 3 14.2.0 with a whole lot of fixes. I'll give that a go as well.
As far as vagueness goes, the main use of these programs are for creative minds who have their minds fixed on creative problems and solutions. To take your mind out of that zone and back into an accounting/systematic/diagnostic frame of mind is sometimes hard. I find just navigating through to the right place on the Adobe site's 'help section' frustrating enough for the brain. Ill try harder to be more thorough in future.

IMac wont sleep after 10.6.3 update

I just bought a new 27" iMac i7 on saturday, I barely had time to do anything to the machine before I updated on monday to 10.6.3. The iMac was going to sleep just fine before the update, now when I put the iMac to sleep, it will go to sleep, but after a few minutes it wakes itself up. I've looked at my sys.log, but it doesnt give me any reason for it's wake up.
Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a solution?
The whole point of replacing my MacPro with this iMac was to save a bit on electricity costs. But now that point is moot because I cant put it to sleep! Please help!

HI,
First, try Resetting the PRAM
Restart your iMac. If the problem persists, try Resetting the SMC
Sorry you are experiencing problems with a brand new iMac! If you did not repair disk permissions, do that. Repair permissions after every software update.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

IMac 2007 freezes after sleep and then can't find hard drive after reboot.

I'm having a problem where my mid 2007 iMac (2.4 GHz core duo w/ 6 Gb of ram) freezes after sleep. It seems to happen only when an application was open at the time of sleep. The freeze manifests as the cursor turns into the spinning wheel, but the computer can't do anything. Command-option escape doesn't work. Most of the time after I reboot, the iMac can't find the hard drive. If I leave the computer off for 15 minutes then it will reboot ok. Is my hard drive going out or do I have another problem? I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I've repaired permissions, verified the hard drive and reset the NVram but I still have the problem.

Here is the console right before the time of the crash.

TS4209 When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyon

When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

Had the same issue and finally solved it. After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved. Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

Imac running slow after sleep mode

not sure what's going on but i can't use sleep mode on my imac 2010 sl
whenever it wakes from sleep mode it is so slow, even typing an email i'll get the flywheel coming up and a delay in the words i'm typing. every application is slow, i have to a restart for it to start working normally again.
my wife has the same problem with her macbook pro of similar vintage and os.
anyone else have this problem and know a solution?

I too have been noticing problems in slow behavior after sleep mode. It has gotten so bad I have been restarting it regularly or shutting down much more regularly. It behaves almost like normal after a re-start.
It is almost like the hard drive is failing? Last time this happened I put a new HD in. I am usually running a large number of different programs, always multi-tasking, which has been a mac fortie. Seems worse with the last few updates. My I mac is 24" imac 2008 model. replaced drive just before apple care expired.

HT5549 trouble putting iMac to sleep after installing this update?

I can't put my imac to sleep anymore after installing the security update for Java. Is anyone else having this problem?
Fran

I had the download file open all the time and closing that has solved (looks like) the problem. However, this was not an issue while I use the regular mouse.

Sometimes after putting my iMac to sleep, I can't get it to wake up and have to turn it off at the mains. Any ideas why?

Sometimes after putting my iMac to sleep, I cannot get it to wake up again. It's as if it's shut down and I have to turn it off at the mains and restart it. Any ideas why? Does this keep happening to anybody else?

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. Something went wrong. You need to restore the iOS software and then restore from the backup.
Read this carefully and follow the instructions. Make sure that you restore from your backup at the end of the process. That is covered at the bottom of the support article.

IMac won't completely wake up after sleep.

I have to awken iMac from sleep mode by hiting the power button because even after the screen comes back, the bluetooth keyboard, mouse, and track pad won't reconnect. I have to turn coputer off and back on to get them working again. I ran verify, and it found no problems. I'm running Lion. Any suggestions on what's causing this?

If you have the iMac plugged in to an old or crowded power strip, as a test, connect it directly to a wall outlet to see of that makes any difference.
Peripheral devices (USB/FireWire) devices can interfere with sleep, wake, shutdown, and startup. Try going through the SMC reset procedure, as shown here (procedure recently changed by Apple)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and disconnect ALL cables. Power up with nothing connected except for the power cord. Connect just your keyboard and mouse, then doing sleep and wake.
Also, make sure the batteries in the Magic Mouse are not getting low. You should try removing them for a few minutes and then putting them back. You should also try re-pairing the mouse at System Preferences Mouse pane +Set Up Bluetooth Mouse+ button.

Unable to turn imac on or off after sleep mode

I have a fairly new iMac and I installed Leopard yesterday. When the computer goes to sleep, I am unable to get it back on by either pressing the keyboard or the power button. The only thing I can do is to unplug and re-plug the computer. When the computer comes back on, I get a message that OS X unexpectedly was interrupted, so I know the operating system is still running in the background.
Has anybody else had this problem or can recommend a solution. I now set my preferences so that the computer will never go to sleep.

I have a similar problem of "video freeze" on my 1.67 GHz PowerPC G4 15 inch with an Apple 21 inch display attached. The large display is exclusive since the powerPC is run with the display lid closed.
Upon wake up after sleep, the video screen stays black, but I hear disk noise in the background indicating some level of 10.5 operation.
The only recovery I've found so far is to open the display lid on the PowerPC and press the power key until reboot.

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, losing connection after sleep, restart

Possible fix for OS X 10.5.7, Airport, losing connection after sleep, restart, or cold reboot.
Issue: (For OS X 10.5.7 on iMac5,1, Intel Core 2 Duo)
=============================================
- After sleep, restart, cold reboot, even though cannot connect to Internet, but the AirPort bars are still full, as if connected.
- Losing Internet connection after sleep, restart, cold reboot.
Possible Fix:
1.Open Network Preference, click on the Location drop down list > Edit Location... > click on the wheel button > Duplicate Location.
a)Select this newly setup location; Use Diagnostic button to connect to the internet. Select Network or enter WEP password if necessary.
b)Test to make sure you can connect to a web page.
c)Go to sleep & wake up.
d)This time, the Airport bar will start to show correctly. Before, it will always be full even when not connected. Now there will be no bars or grey out when not connected.
2.On the left hand side of the Network Preference Window, there is a list of services, such as Airport, build-in ethernet, built-in FireWire, bluetooth, etc.
a)Click on the wheel button on the bottom of the service list; select Set Service Order...; move Airport to the top of the list.
b)Delete any services which you are sure that you are not going to use, such as Bluetooth, etc.
3.Pick one of the locations mentioned in #1, and make it sure it is connected. If not, use Diagnostic button. If you have to select Network or enter WEP password to connect, make it so.
a)Check to make sure you can connect to a web page.
4.Go to sleep & wake up. The Airport bar should be filled up quickly. Try to connect to a web page.
5.Restart computer. Test a web page.
6.Shut down & Start computer. Test a web page.
7.When everything is working fine, you can delete the extra location that you created in step #1.
8.Click the lock on the left lower corner of the Network Preference window to safeguard the setting.

If my assessment is correct, the LIDE 200 driver is version 14.8.1 and dated 26-Sep-2008. It is possible that the driver will not work with the latest version of OSX. I would advise that you contact Canon and ask them the question.
(Removed link because of the way Flash drives the Canon site).
It is not uncommon (though irritating) that devices no longer work when an OS is upgraded. One has to ask the question if (or why) the driver was not written in such a way as to be OS version independent.
Chris
I spoke to Canon over here in Australia. Not helpful at all. In fact they were about as useful as an ashtray on on motorcycle. Having said that the tech seemed to think that there would be an update soon. But that is assuming that Canon are aware that there is a problem with that Scanner under OS X 10.5.7.

Sleeping iMac after install/uninstall of applications

I'm going to me receiving my first iMac in the next few days.
Presently on my Windows computer. A lot of the time when I have installed or uninstalled programs, I am shown on the screen that I need to restart my computer.
I was wondering if this is the same on Mac?
Also. I've read many posts that say its advisable to put a Mac to sleep (most of the time) rather than shutting it down everytime I would have finished using it. In light of this, if I install or uninstall an application on my iMac, would it be still OK to put the iMac to sleep or would it be advisable to shut the iMac down instead after I'd finished using it?
Thanks in advance.

Most of the apps don't need to restart your Mac to complete their installation, but there are others that have to restart the Mac, so it happens with Macs, but less frequently.
We recommend to put the Mac to sleep because the start will be faster and your Mac in sleep doesn't consume more energy
Thanks for the help mende1, its much appreciated.
You mention that "there are others that have to restart the Mac". I assume that with any such applications, that I would be notified that I would need to restart my iMac?
Thanks again
