Apple tv loses home sharing when my computer goes into sleep mode

Just recently, my Apple TV says that home sharing is off when my computer goes into sleep mode. It never used to do that - any suggestions?

I have the same problem here. Always back-ed up with Time Machine (OSX 10.9 Mavericks) to Western Digital drives. MyBooks, MyPassport 1TB (USB 3.0), all works fine. Time Machine is actually doing back-ups overnight. Since I got this new 2TB MyPassport Ultra USB 3.0 it's working perfect during days, but every morning when I wake up the MacBook from sleep, I get this annoying error:
Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “MyPassportUltra”.
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.
Latest successful backup: Today, 02:27 am
I'm also not able to write anything to that drive, or unmount it. It stil shows up in Finder, and I'm able to read all the data perfectly fine. When I do a Disk Utility Verify Disk directly after, I get this:
Checking volume
disk3s2: Scan for Volume Headers
Invalid Volume Header @ 0: I/O error
Invalid Volume Header @ 2000021315072: I/O error
disk3s2 is not a CoreStorage volume
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
I don't click Repair Disk, as this will probably screw up my partition. Instead, I have to unplug the USB cable (which is bad for the drive, there's no time to park the drive's heads) and plug it in again. After clicking Backup Now, Time Machine immediately starts backing up, and the drive works fine the rest of the day.
I contacted WD Support, and they are sending me a booster USB cable. As System Information reports, the drive receives enough power though:
Current Available (mA): 900
Current Required (mA): 224
Unfortunately there's no firmware update for this drive, which will probably fix this. See this topic: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4196704.

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in

When the system goes into sleep mode it keeps making a beeping noise. The system is shut down by holding the button in
and will then boot up again without any errors.
I Have replace RAMS, Motherboard and Power Supply. I have check the Bio's and Power setting on the unit. there is no place to cause this issue.
Please help

Syamak,
You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from.
If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby.
If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
I hope this helps.

Imac G5 Fans running constantly and computer goes into sleep mode

I have the first gen Imac G5. Since I've purchased it I've had this problem, they told me it was the lower fan and I had it replaced twice before my warranty was out. It seems to work for a month or two, then goes back to the same thing. I have all apple ram, I've reset the pram and the smu. I recently ran the apple hardware test and the code it come up with was (2STH/1/2:CPU T-Diode). I'm out of all options, and since everyone else is having this problem or similar problems I was wondering if someone might have a solution since apple won't fix this problem or recall it. It even does it when I have just Itunes open. All I know is that everyone is having a problem with these early model Imacs and Apple won't do anything to fix it. Please help me solve this problem.
Imac G5 without Ambient Light Sensor Mac OS X (10.4.4)

All I know is that everyone is having a problem with these early model Imacs and Apple won't do anything to fix it.
I can understand your frustration, but I'm not sure that that is fair, Jeffrey! Apple have a two year extended repair program in operation for the first generation imacs to deal with the common issues related to capacitor problems and the like - see http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/

Firefox not responding and crashes when my netbook goes into sleep mode why is that

when i shut the lid on my net book and come back nand open it , put password in and when i click the firefox icon to go back to where i was at it says firefox is not rewsponding or firefox has crashed , why is that

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Cant connect to internet after computer goes to sleep mode.

Everytime my computer goes into sleep mode it wont let me connect back to safari. It shows im connected but wont connect. Can anyone help me?

Hi there. I have the same sort of problem with my MacBook. To get the internet working again I have to restart the system. Sometimes the same sort of thing (shows I'm connected but doesn't really connect) happens when I'm in the middle of using the internet. I've posted a topic ("Problem with AirPort?") about this also and I've gotten a few responses already. Maybe one of them can help you out (no luck for me so far though).

External usb disc used for Time Machine backup disconnects when Mac has been into sleep mode

I use a 1Tb External usb disc used for Time Machine backup which works fine, but when the Mac goes into sleep mode & powers back on I get a message stating that you should always eject the Drive before removing.
Any suggestions on how to get around this problem would be welcome

Look at the root of your hard drive for a folder called Backups.backupdb.
Or, a sparse bundle disk image for one of mobile computers that might have tried to back up to your Mac.
If you have those, remove them and try again.

Updated to windows 10 and now my computer stays black when it goes into sleep mode

I just updated my computer to windows 10. Whenever it goes into sleep mode and i try to move the mouse it just stays black and i have to turn my computer off and then on again. after that it finally works but its just annoying. I already tried updating my card driver, but it said it was already up to date.

My iMac i7 quad was having the same symptoms with the blue screen and long startup times a couple of months ago. Apple Care told me to bring it in to the local Apple Store, and after some diagnostics, the hard drive required replacing. It took one day to replace the hard drive and my iMac is running great. I only had the iMac for about 12 months when the drive needed to be replaced. Not sure if that is your Mac's problem, but it was for mine.

HP Officejet 4620 All-in-One Loses Connection to Wireless Network When It Goes Into Sleep Mode

My HP 4620 All-In-One wireless printer works fine until it goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up if a print job is sent to it. If I wake it up manually by pressing the blinking on/off button, it still doesn't print. If I completely turn it off and then on again, the print job that was queued on my computer will start printing, but that's a huge pain and waste of time nearly every time I want to print. I've installed all available updates. I also assigned a static IP address in an effort to correct this but nothing helps. I see that others have complained about this problem, but I do not see that anyone has had success resolving this. My operating system is Windows Vista. I use a Link-Sys Wireless G Router. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode. I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream). When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD. All device are on current releases of software. I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV. How do I correct this?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I don't think my computer is completely shutting down. I think it is only going into sleep mode. When I hit the power button, it turns off immediately instead of shutting down.

I don't think my Mac Pro is completely shutting down. When I hit the power button, it just turns off immediately instead of going through the normal shut down procedures. I heard that I should try resetting the SMC, which involves removing the power cord. However, when I remove and replace the power cord, it turns on automatically, so I can't even properly reset that to see if it is the issue. Is this probably a power supply issue?
Actually, in case this information helps... The computer went into sleep mode the other day, and would not come back. This is a work computer that I use for our photography business, and at this point I am just trying to run it as a drive to get the photos onto our new computer, but this issue is keeping us from doing so. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try a SMC reset.

When I open Firefox, my computer goes into safe mode. How do I fix this problem?

When I open Firefox to do some browsing, my computer goes into safe mode. When I close Firefox browser, then it goes back to normal. I know there has to be a simple fix, but I have not found it.

Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution.
You can check that in the "Compatibility" tab in the Properties via the right-click context menu of the Firefox desktop shortcut.<br />
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks

This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode then restarts to try to start the Back up process again and again vicious cycle. I have made sure all settings are turned off. I have done one or two backups since the initial first backup. My HDD is almost full and I want it backed up before I try to clone/mirror the drive to upgrade it to a 1TB HDD. Thank you in advance.

Set the Energy Saver (in System Preferences) to Never. Then reset the NVRAM, as follows:
Shut down your Mac.
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 before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

My iMac goes into sleep mode, won't come out until I unplug and replug the computer then hit the power button. Just hitting the power button alone won't restart the iMac.

My Imac goes into sleep mode but won't come out. The keyboard/mouse won't rouse it and the power button won't do it either. I have to unplug the computer, re-plug it in and then hit the power button. Help?

I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem. I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared. I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.
