ASUS PA248Q Not waking from Sleep

I just acquired a used iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2012) and decided to buy a nice PA248Q ASUS monitor to work with the system as a second display.  The monitor is connected via TB with a MDP to DP cable which is made by QVC.  The Monitor works fine until the Mac puts the displays to sleep.  Upon waking the PA248Q gives the "NO SIGNAL ON DISPLAYPORT" message and immediately goes back into power save mode.  If you use the soft power on/off switch to cycle the monitor then it is back.  This is annoying!
I have seen several posts on Google and the net about this problem as the changeover to Mavericks was happening.  This is Yosemite (10.10.3) with all the latest updates and I am hoping there is a good fix for this issue. I do understand that TB is not exactly DP, but is compatible, and I definitely needed to not spend a great amount of money on the Monitor.
Interested if anyone has ever gotten this problem resolved and specifically with this monitor.
I have plans to purchase a new Mac Mini with two of these in the near future, so I am VERY interested in solving the issue.
Thanks in advance for your advice and help.

Replying to my own post. The problem seems to be found. Removing usb wires from the sonnet ports prior to sleep solves the problem. Leaving them in the sonnet ports the problem returns.
I still don't know of a manual restart button for freezes. When the G4 is booted up the power button sleeps and wakes the computer.

  • Macbook Pro Retina 2013 not waking from sleep

    Hi all,
    My brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) is not waking from sleep. It doesn't occur after a short sleep (as I can wake it as normal by moving my mouse), but if the sleep is for some extended duration (not exactly sure, but at least within a couple of hours) then the only way to wake it is to use the power button.
    I've tried an SMC reset to no avail -- the problem still occurs.
    It's plugged into a power adapter and this is a screenshot of the settings page.
    This is a very annoying issue. I'm hoping someone can help?
    Thanks!
    Adam

    I managed to narrow down and reproduce the issue:
    It occurs when the 'turn display off after' time lapses. Eg, if I change the setting to 1 minute and wait for the display to turn off, the computer will *not* wake up without pressing the power button.
    Very strange. Hoping someone can provide some insight!
    Thanks,
    Adam

  • Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

    I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep.  I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down.  Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success.  They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens.  They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine.  They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file?  I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
    If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead.  But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files.  That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
    So, 2 questions:
    Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
    If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
    Thanks so much!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Macbook pro not waking from sleep

    HELP! My macbook pro (2010) is not consistently waking from sleep. I will put it on sleep, then when I open the screen, it will not wake up. I have to press the power button to completely turn it off, then press it again to wake it up. An error message shows saying that it had not been properly shut down. Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

  • MBP not waking from sleep and getting very hot

    When my Mac Book Pro 15 inch is left for a period of time greater than approximately an hour and plugged in it should automatically go into sleep/hibernate mode. Something happens during this period but I can hear the fan running heavily, the MBP is very hot and I can do nothing to wake it. The only option I have found is to hold the power button down for a few seconds to power the unit off then back on. When the MBP restarts I am greeted with the message "The computer was restarted after Mac OX X quit unexpectedly". I have also seen many kernel panics occurr on a regular basis. This is a new Mac Book Pro and was recently sent back to Apple for diagnosis. I was told it was my third party memory but upon instaling my original Mac memory the problem is STILL present.
    Anyone else seeing or heard of this type of behavior???

    Hi, I am having the sleep problem with my 17" MBP. When I shut the lid down and it goes to sleep mode for short periods it is ok but any period for longer than 1 hr it will not wake when I lift the lid or press any keys on the keypad. It was also turning itself on and going into sleep mode when I left it to charge overnight from a turned off state untill I sent it for repair. Now it just has the sleep problem, what I have noticed is that it does not play up when I start it up in Safe mode. I have just done the hardware test from the install disc and there were no problems, then I did the archive/Install bit and that did not solve it either. Ah well back on the phone tomorrow unless someone can shed any light!

  • Late 2008 Macbook Pro not waking from sleep

    I just go a new MacBook Pro, and occasionally (maybe once a day) after I shut the computer to put it in sleep mode, and walk around with it, It refuses to wake when I open the lid. I have disabled the "put hard disk to sleep" and using the smartsleep preference pain, have put the computer in "sleep only," but the problem still occurs. Whenever this happens, I have to restart my computer with the restart button.
    Message was edited by: Alex Bernstein

    Alex, do you have your preferences set to require a password after sleep or screensaver? Sometimes I have had issues with this dialog window not popping up. Also does the status light on the MBP glow constantly or fade in and out when you lift the lid up? If it is lit constantly and nothing is displayed that means the computer is on...what I do is just close the lid again and then wait for the light to fade in/out and re open, then it usually works.

  • Losing Displays Color setting when waking from sleep

    Hey y'all!
    I haven't seen this specific problem addressed anywhere in the forums - I have a Pismo 500 running 10.3.9. The problem is that when I wake the Pismo from sleep, nine times out of ten, it defaults to the uncalibrated display space. If I open the Prefs pane, the Displays>Color tab shows the correct calibrated profile selected, but the colors and such are way off. If I just click on the selected profile, it goes back to that profile correctly - but that's too many mouse clicks just to see correctly after waking!
    The confusing thing is that this problem never shows up during starts/restarts - during the boot process, the Pismo correctly applies the selected profile and the change is noticable (my display is natively WAAAAY too blue/cyan for my tastes and line of work). So it works from a standing start, and from a warm reboot, just not waking from sleep.
    The problem didn't manifest until after I moved from 10.2.x to 10.3, but that move solved so many other problems, I'm still happy I did it.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    I do have a work around this problem.
    Go to mac hd, to users, to what looks like a house, to library, to colorsync, to profiles. Open profiles and take that profile and put it on the desktop.
    Next go to mac hd, to library, to colorsync, to profiles, to displays.
    Open displays and place the profile on the desktop in the there.
    That solved my problem.

  • MacBook Pro not waking form sleep (sometimes)

    My Macbook Pro is not waking from sleep (sometimes). To be very specific; the only time this happens is when it goes to sleep automatically, with the lid open, while plugged into the magsafe power cord. When I hit the space bar to wake it, the keyboard lights come on but the screen remains black. I do not have any problems with waking from sleep if I close the lid to force sleep (while plugged in). I also do not have any problems at all, if the computer goes to sleep while running on battery power. (I have had this MBP for about 18 months, the first year I had no issues at all. The problem started shortly after Lion was installed. (I also have a iMac with all the same software, almost identical set up, purchased at the same time as my MBP but have never had any sleep problems with the iMac, none even since Lion install.)
    We do not have an Apple Store near us, but I have had the MBP in for service 3 seperate time to our local authorized Apple service/dealer. It is tricky to diagnose, because the problem does not happen every time. On average it won't wake from sleep 1 out of 3 times. Each time the service techs were able to re-create the problem but could not come up with a cause or solution, their only advice was to re-install Lion.
    I have tried 2 different re-installs of Lion. (Both times erasing the hard drive first) The first time I did a clean re-install of Lion, then restored all of my data from Time Capsule. That did not work, the problem presisted. So I tried a second clean re-install of Lion and this time I did not restore from Time Capusle, I only re-installed critical docs from a flash drive and re-installed all other software (such as MS Office, Photoshop, etc.) from their original discs. I though this had fixed the problem but within a few days the problem re-occoured.
    Any ideas would be appriciated, I have tried almost everything, I have days and days worth of time invested in trying to fix this issue. Thank you!

    I had this problem with my MacBook Pro for a long time, and fixed it by changing the sleep mode. Here's how:
    Open Terminal
    Type the following:
         pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    It should say something like:
         hibernatemode  3
    Here's an explanation of the different types of hibernate modes:
    0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    5 - This is the same as mode 1, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory (in System Preferences -> Security).
    7 - This is the same as mode 3, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory.
    To change your sleep mode, use the following command:
         sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    (replace 0 with whatever hibernate mode you desire)
    For my MacBook Pro, I changed it to 0, and it works great. It's super fast to wake and sleep, which is a plus. The only downside of hibernatemode 0 is that if your battery runs out your computer doesn't hibernate - it shuts off. This doesn't matter, though, because with Lion everything is autosaved, so really hibernate 0 is all plusses.

  • Will not wake from sleep mode

    When I close then open the lid on my MacBook, it will not wake up from sleep mode.  I have to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 sec.  When it restarts, it takes a long time to get past the gray screen with the apple logo.  I also have this same problem when it goes into sleep mode, when left idle.  I have since changed the settings so it will not go into sleep mode when idle in system preferences.  I have reset PRAM and SMC, but the problem still persists.

    I have the same problem, intermittently.  I think it has something to do with full-screen mode, which I use intermittently.  Have you noticed this happening only when you are in a full-screen app?
    I also have a MacBook Pro from 2011, and I know for sure my MagSafe power adapter is fine and not part of the problem.
    I have noticed a few things that may be hints at what is happening:
    one time, (all??) while my screen was basking in the glow of sunlight from the side, I saw that the screen pixels were indeed "on", that the back-light of the screen was just off.
    Which led me to the conclusion that my MacBook Pro was indeed waking from sleep, the screen was just not lighting up.
    But that theory was disproved this morning, when when waking from sleep, the screen was black, except for my cursor. My cursor was completely visible on a black background.  Huh??  It was like some software was putting up a black modal dialog over the whole screen. Also, the Apple Logo on the back of the laptop screen was fully lit -- meaning the backlight was on.  The machine was awake (curson moving on a black background), and the screen was fully back-lit.
    I'm not sure yet how consistent this behavior is...  I will take more careful notes each time this problem happens in the future...  But, it looks like I have rogue software that is trying to make my machine look like it is sleeping.
    To "capture" the culprit I think I could set up a hot-key command that takes a snapshot of all running processes in Activity Monitor. This could show what processes are running when "waking" from sleep. nabbing the culprit?
    I use Snapz Pro. That is non-standard software running with control over screen functions. Maybe Snapz Pro has a problem?  I doubt it, but maybe, because it has hooks into background tasks with video. Snapz Pro is my only 32-bit process. Could Snapz Pro be the cause?  I use Snapz Pro all the time.
    The problem seems to be related to Full-Screen mode.  Could it be possible that full-screen apps sometimes have problems returning from sleep?  I know there are viewControllers responsible for handling events when waking. Could the symptoms of not waking from sleep be caused by bugs in full-screen apps?

  • Bluetooth Keyboard not functioning well when waking from sleep in 10.8

    I've got two different Macs I've recently upgraded to 10.8. Both have wireless keyboards that I use with them.
    Both keyboards are now having problems when the computer is waking from sleep. Sometimes the keyboard
    input is very slow (there's a long lag between a keypress and seeing the letter on the screen), or it shows multiple
    characters when only one key has been pressed.
    Unpairing the keyboard, and re-pairing it fixes the problem, but obviously it's annoying .
    Has anyone else seen this issue?  Is there a fix?

    So, my machine fell asleep, and when it awoke, I typed in my password to unlock OmniFocus and Yahoo Messenger. Then nothing, back to a machine I could move the mouse on, move windows around, but couldn't actually access anything. I noticed however, the Yahoo Messenger window was stuck trying to reconnect and the OmniFocus Keychain unlock window was still on the screen. Even with forcing Yahoo Messenger to quit, I could not get around the keychain window.
    Knowning this, I checked for updates to Yahoo Messenger and Omnifocus, and low and behold there is an update for Lion compatibility for OmniFocus, and a more recent version of Yahoo Messenger. With these two upgraded, hopefully this will resolve any more  issues.
    Seems 99.9% of all my issues with Lion were over software needing to be updated. Not a bad thing, but it takes time.

  • Display will not sleep any more after waking from sleep

    My Macbook has recently started misbehaving after waking from sleep. Started putting the entire MB to sleep each night by closing the lid. When I wake it in the morning everything seems normal, no error messages. However from that point forward the display will not dim or sleep. I've tried re-applying my settings in System Preferences -> Energy Saver. Pretty much the only fix has been to reboot, which is annoying and Windows-like.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I have "fast sleep" enabled (aka hibernation mode disabled) but I've had that since I bought my MB with 10.5.1 on it. So I don't think it's related. In fact I changed to the default Energy Saver profile to see if that fixed the problem (it didn't), which re-enabled hibernation mode and I then had to re-disable hibernation.
    I want to say this started happening after the 10.5.4 update, but that may have been a coincidence as to when I started sleeping it each night... I don't exactly remember.
    I downloaded Cocktail to run all the cron jobs, etc, that don't get run when sleeping at night, and that didn't help either.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else ever see this? Seeing it now?
    Thanks!

    This is still an issue for me.
    I sleep my Macbook every night by closing the lid. After doing this a few times, the display either stops sleeping, or stops locking. I have the lock menu in the Apple menu bar, and even selecting "Lock screen" will not work.
    Sometimes a reboot fixes it, sometimes I have to reset the SMC.
    Any info out there?

    Same here on an older iMac since Lion. Thanks for the uncheck wake for network access tip though, it doesn't do it either in that case, I will leave it that way.

  • Waking from sleep only brings up blank screen with cursor

    I have the MacBook Pro retina 11,3 (released October 2013). As the title suggests I am having issues with my Mac not giving me a log in screen when waking from sleep. It seems to happen when I don't close the clamshell and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up from that the result it s backlit black screen with a cursor. I can click, hit the keys on the keyboard but absolute nothing happens. I close the clamshell and open it but they screen seems to not turn they backight off and so reopening it still leaves me with the same screen. Usually the log in screen to type my password will reappear within 20-60 seconds after and I am able to type my password and everything works as normal.
    This his problem has been around since Mavericks for me. I figured I would wait for Yosemite to see if it gets fixed but it still is an issue. This problem is persistent even after compleat reinstalls, even without transferring any data over to the new install.
    I believe there is something to do with the discreet graphics card inside the MacBook Pro. I have a friend who also has the retina model of the same year with the graphics card and has the same issues. It is a Nvidia GT 750M.
    Anyone know of a solution to this issues?

    Quit All applications.
    Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the menu bar.
    Select Library.
    Look for "Caches" folder, right click it and move it to trash.
    Restart.

  • Start up and waking from sleep problems. early 2011 macbook pro i-7 2.0

    Been having problems with my computer starting up and waking from sleep.  If i shut the lid it wont wake up upon reopening the lid unless i hit the power button.  After hitting the power button it will restart automatically and you hear the chime and the cdrom ejecting , once the gray screen pops up it restarts again this time you hear the cd rom making the ejecting sound twice then it will start up as normal.  Once it finally starts up my date and time has been reset to jan 2008.  Other times when i open the lid hit the power button it does nothing at all.  Even holding the power button for multiple seconds to force shut down it does nothing.  Only way to get it to start up at that power is if i connect the charging cable.  I have tried reseting the smc multiple times with no results and pram(even though it doesnt have anything to do with start up problems just did it anyways).  It all started i last time i updated not completely sure what all updates i got but im still running 10.7.  It seems like a battery issue which would make sense since its nearly 3 years old and i use it extensivly.  Last thing that just started recently after i go threw the whole mess of getting it to start up if i pick it up or nudge it the thing will just shut off out of no where.  Almost like there is a short somewhere, cant really be sure if its linked with the waking up from sleep/start up problems but seems right up the same ally.  Any suggestions to what could be wrong would be greatly apreciated.  Im assuming my battery may be on its last leg but the thing still holds a charge and my battery life hasnt dimished at all so cant really be totally sure.  Thanks agian

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. It may not fix the problem but it would be the first thing an Apple Store would do if you were to bring it to them with this complaint.
    If bumping the Mac causes problems it's an intermittent internal connection that the SMC reset is not likely to help.
    Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.
