Audio interface loses connection every time my mac mini goes to sleep

Using M-audio fastrack pro and newest mac mini dual 2.5 on Mountain Lion 10.8.4 Intel core i5.
I have to restart to make it go away, it also just happened when I unplugged my monitor and plugged it back in...... Samsung syncmaster....
Anyone had similar problems with Mountain Lion?

Hi Mate,
Used to have one of those, it was a real pain for dropping out on me, i don't know if you're aware but they don't support sleep mode. Meaning that if you were to sleep your mac you need to pull the usb cable out first, and plug it back in when you resume. If you don't you have restart your machine to have it work again.
And yup, it's a right pain. Mine was particularly sensitive - it dropped out when i switched my mixer on a few times which concerned me, found it ran much better when connected to AC Power.

When I turn on my TV/AV receiver my Mac mini goes to sleep!?

This issue occurs regardless of whether the Mac Mini is in sleep mode or awake...
I have my Mac Mini connected to my HDTV, therefore I connect using an iPad as a remote.
When I turn on the TV and receiver (Onkyo), the Mac Mini will go in to sleep mode, even after showing the desktop with no problem (moments later it will turn off). This makes it very hard to wake up using any iPad apps, because even using wake on LAN functions these seem to have little effect. On some occasions I can use wake on LAN and this works, however most of the time this is unsuccessful. If the Mac Mini is already in sleep mode, I will of course have the same problems.
My main issue is that this is only started happening since upgrading to mountain lion and there was no problem before using lion.
Is anyone experiencing these issues and/or have any suggestions?

Try restarting you computer by holding down the option key, this should give you the option to select your startup volume, select Macintosh HD.

Mac Loses connection every time I close the lid.

Whenever I close the lid of my Macbook pro, when I open it again and try to browse to a page in safari the browser says that there is no connection even though airport shows that it is still connected. In order to fix this I need to turn off airport for about 10 seconds then turn it back on to regain connectivity. This is quickly becoming a chore can anyone help with this?

Macbook Air loses connectivity every time it sleeps.

For about a month now my Macbook Air loses connectivity to wifi whenever it goes to sleep. I have it connected to my personal wifi and when I leave the MBA idle it goes to sleep after 15 mins. When I wake the computer it is still connected to my wifi, but the connectivity is gone. I have to turn airport off and then turn it back on. It regains connectivity immediately after that every time. However, it obviously shouldn't do that and it is annoying because it interrupts my downloads. I have tried playing around with the settings and reading the discussion boards. While people have had similar issues, none have been exactly the same and none of the troubleshooting has worked. Wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions or fixes for this. Thanks in advance!

Hello BrettG81,
I know that can be frustrating when your MacBook Air does not maintain a Wi-Fi connection. There are a few things that you can try to get it working again. I know you have done some looking at your settings and possibly some adjustments, but go over the first article as some of the troubleshooting for OS X Snow Leopard and Lion can be helpful. Another troubleshooting option is to create a new network location and test it out to see if you still have the same issue. All the steps are linked below.

Audio interface loses connection

Hi
I've recently bought myself two audio interfaces: Edirol FA-66 and Mackie Tapco firewire, both with two combo inputs and firewire 400 connection. When i connect either one of them to my macbook pro (2,53 GHz), it works for a while and suddenly loses connection. The sound plays for a few seconds through my internal speakers and most of the time, it reconnects after a couple of seconds back to the audio interface. Could this possibly have anything to do with snow leopard? (I think I've read something about this). Or would it be something else? (I'm thinking of the FW400->FW800 cable I'm using, some kind of problem with the processor,... ).
As I am intending to use my laptop for live performances, this problem really needs to get solved...
I'd be very thankful for any suggestion
greetings
Kobe

Well I'm hoping I'll just take it back to the Apple service center and they'll magically fix it (since it's not even a year old!), but I get the feeling I'm going to get fobbed off with some lame excuse, to which they'll get a piece of my mind!
I've tried the Motu 828mk3 on my 5 year old PC running Windows 7 and it works, so I'm doubtful the problem is with the Motu unit. I've tried practically everything... reset the SMC, reset the PRAM, reset the MOTU, plugged in an external firewire drive/hub and chained the MOTU, toggled the optical inputs/outputs and nothing seems to work. The only things I haven't tried (that I can think of) are:
a) another 800 to 400 firewire cable (I've only just bought this one so I'm loathe to spend extra on another to find out it doesn't solve the problem).
b) a clean re-install of OSX (think I'll leave that to the Apple guys and gals).
c) an express card with firewire 400 ports (again I'm loathe to spend money on this unless I KNOW it will solve the problem).

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!!!!!

My Mac Mini goes to sleep when I turn off my TV.

Hello and thanks in advance for all help. I have a Intel mac mini that I currently have hooked up via DVI/DVI cable to my Sony LCD television. I recently upgraded the OS to 10.5 from 10.4. The issue that I am having after the OS upgrade has to do with the Mac going to sleep after I turn the TV off. It also goes to sleep if I set up the display to sleep after a period of time even if I have the computer itself set to never sleep. Right now I have the computer set to never sleep and the display to never sleep but when we turn the TV off the computer goes to sleep anyway. The reason why I need the computer to stay awake is because we use a Magicjack at our home for our local phone service and it is plugged into one of the USB ports on the computer. If the computer goes to sleep we loose our home phone service. I am wondering what could be causing the computer to sleep when the display is turned off. When I upgraded to 10.5 I did a clean install and not a upgrade.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much to all.

Thanks so much for your help. This fixed things perfect. The only thing I may add for anyone else that has this issue is that it is important to reconnect the power cable to the computer first and then after a few seconds reconnect all of your other cables. The first time I tried it I reconnected the power cable last and it still didn't fix things. I gave it another try reconnecting the power cable first and now everything is perfect.
Thanks again for your help,
Rich

Every time my MacBook Pro goes to sleep or the screen saver activates, it freezes and I must force a reboot.

This just started happening randomly a couple months ago. Now it happens on every sleep or screen saver instance. I cannot trace it to a specific OSX update. I have gone as far as a full OSX recovery and restoration of Time Machine backup. Where can I look to get to the bottom of this?

Issue resolved with Mavericks update...

I Lose Internet connection each time my Mac Sleeps

I have an iMac 21" late 2009 model.
Since I installed Lion, every time my Mac "nods" after leaving it a bit, after waking up it will take about a minute for the internet connection (dsl ethernet) to come back. It's frustrating, I turn on my mac to browse the web, I open Safari but then I have to sit there waiting for the internet connection to come back.
Something is wrong and it's annoying..

If you had mountain lion, you could've used a feature called power nap. It keeps networking on even when the mac is asleep.
On other OS, I guess its bound to disconnect all networks when it goes to sleep You can try an app called Caffeine that doesn't let it go to sleep.

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks.

My ipad mini loses Internet connection every time it automatically locks. I have to re-establish the connection but sometimes it would take too long for the Internet to be connected. I'm using a wireless connection

just browsing around I found this question. Also on my mini retina I fight with this problem. After a lot of searching I found that the only solution is to switch to
Airplane Mode, wait few seconds and switch again.
Or, if you are lucky, to find a Genius who replaces your unit. Cheers

Macbook loses internet connection every time it is put to sleep

every time i open my macbook pro from sleep mode there is no internet connection, even though my wifi bars are full and black and my home router is found and ticked. after a 1-2 minute delay my mac then connects to the internet. this happens every time i open my laptop from sleep mode. i have to wait 1-2 mins. this has only started to happen in the last few days and is driving me mad as it shows it is connected to the internet. any ideas ?

Delete the network from your macbook, system preferences, network, select advance tab and delete it
Then Re join the Wi-Fi network you want.

I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10 days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.
