Auto-update waking computer from sleep question.

Will the computer awake from sleep at the prompting of auto-update?
Thank you.

Hi, and welcome!
I very much doubt that the computer would wake from sleep. If my understanding is correct, the auto-update feature works by just checking every now and then if there are any updates available. It cannot perform this check while it is sleeping.
So, I think I can safely say that the answer is: no.

How do I stop aluminium wireless keyboard from waking computer from sleep?

Hi
My aluminium wireless keyboard wakes my computer from sleep, at random occasions. Sometimes after five minutes, other times up to four hours. Sometimes not at all. My iMac wakes up (annoyingly during the night, waking me up as well) and screen says "Connection Lost", showing the greyed out keyboard-logo. It's not lying either—keyboard doesn't work, for about 30 sec until the stupid thing finds it again and all is back to normal.
*What can I do to stop this irrational behavior?*
Could this be a bluetooth hardware-malfunction?
(Background: My iMac has been acting this way, as far as I can recall, throughout all of the 10.6.X-upgrades—from time to time. Reason I am posting this now is that I haven't had this problem for a couple of months now, but it came back out of nowhere the other night, about a week ago. And I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary, that I haven't done at least a couple of times during this period where it all worked fine.)
Additional information: I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem at hand, but when using the bluetooth for something other than just keyboard+mouse, say syncing my Nokia phone, the mouse always goes haywire and acts all laggy, trickling across the screen as I try to move it.

Yes, that sounded indeed like a daft question, but as it seems changing the batteries did actually solve the puzzle. I am baffled by this, as the batteries claimed to be at 40% and shouldn't need to be changed. But I changed them after reading your reply, and the problem stopped. Now, one week and a couple of days later, the problem still has not reoccurred.
For one reason or another, once batteries drop under a certain level of power, the keyboard connection will start acting up. I feel a bit silly, should have checked that bit myself before posting my question, but I'm glad this solved my problem. Thank you ajduguid.

Mouse waking computer from sleep

I'm using a wireless USB Logitech mouse with my MacBook. Moving the mouse wakes the computer from sleep and I would like to disable this function. Is there a way to change the setting so the computer requires a keystroke to wake it?
Thanks.

I'd rather not buy a new mouse if I don't have to. I found this link http://www.macyourself.com/2008/08/28/prevent-accidental-wake-ups-when-an-apple- laptops-lid-is-opened/ that shows how to disable the lid wake function in terminal. Is there a mouse wake disable code in terminal?

How to prevent iCloudDrive from waking computer from sleep?

My PC wakes up periodically from sleep. After the checking the event logs, the logs show that iCloudDrive.exe process is causing the computer to wake up from sleep. I do not want to disable all system wake timers, but I do not know how to prevent iCloudDrive from waking up the computer. The expiration date keeps changing forward.

FaceTime: waking computer from sleep

Hi it's good that facetime calls will come in even if facetime is not running but does anyone know if facetime will wake a laptop from sleep if / when someone calls? I have tried this but doesn't seem to be able to do that.

Hi Bill,
Sometimes it's just not possible to know what happened. Apple is the first to admit that there are occasionally unexplainable events that occur. They recommend performing disk repair in case some slight corruption has occurred in the HDD directory.
Boot from your grey-labeled Install Disc 1, get past the first (language selection) screen of the installer sequence, and (after fully loading) the second screen will contain a "Utilities" pull-down in the menu bar. Open and select Disk Utility. On the left side of the box, select the top-most drive shown, on the right side select "First Aid" and then click the "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" button. Allow to run to completion. Run a second time to be sure, or until it shows No Repairs Needed. Do not run Disk Permissions Repairs, but instead quit the installer version of Disk Utility, quit the installer process, and restart to your usual startup disk, which you can re-select using "Startup Disk" also located in the "Utilities" pull-down where you found Disk Utility. After restarting, Repair Disk Permissions in a similar manner after opening the version of Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilites folder.

Slow response time w/bluetooth after waking computer from sleep

     Hello everyone. I have an issues and here are the steps used to reproduce it as well as my specs and thoughts. I have taken this in to Apple retail to check, but the problem could not be re-produced (I think the computer as well as the bluetooth devices have to sleep for this to happen). By the way, does anyone know how long it take for the bluetooth Apple keyboard, mouse and trackpad take to auto-sleep after in-activity?
Hardware:
Macbook 6,1
2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
Latest Apple bluetooth keyboard, trackpad, and mouse
     Basically, after the computer has been to sleep (and I think the bluetooth devices also because this does not happen instantly after sleep if you wake it back up as the Apple Genuis tried and could not get it to happen) and I wake it about 30 minutes or later with either the built in keyboard or any bluetooth device, all bluetooth devices are responding (connected for sure), but my cursor for exmaple jumps across the screen and the keyboard wont type and is super slow. Keep in mind that the whole time this is happening, the built in keyboard and trackpad work great (leads me to think this is bluetooth hardware or software related). After about 1 minute, I can move the mouse cursor normally and type in my password to login. I will eventually take a screen-recording and show my perspective. I have taken this into an Apple retail store, and they could not get it happen, but I think this has to do with the bluetooth devices sleeping, or the amount of time after sleep. We only waited for the front light on the Macbook to go bright and dim to confirm it was asleep and then woke it up and everything worked ok. The Genuis also check all hardware and confirmed the bluetooth hardware was working. I never had this problem at all with Snow Leopard. This happened as soon as I upgraded to Lion, I thought maybe I had a problem with the upgrade from SL to Lion, but I re-installed Lion (fresh) and still have the same exact problem.
     Please let me know if there is any thing I left out and I will be happy to edit. I don't always remember everything. Thanks!

I just had a similar issue and fixed it by turning off the keyboard, waiting for the computer to recognise that, then turned it back on, all better.
Last night I manually activated SLEEP from the Apple menu - I rarely do this but thought of it to kill the glare as I went to sleep. This morning it woke up ok, but typing on the BT keyboard was super slow (I was changing windows then watching the keypresses appear in the new field, about one per second) and a special-characters popup was appearing (never seen that before). The Magic Mouse was working fine, as were the onboard keyboard and trackpad.
My laptop (MBP 17" 2.53 i5) recently upgraded from SL10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2, I have yet to apply the 10.7.3 patch.

No visual indicator for audio playback, after waking computer from sleep

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 on Lion 10.7.5.
After my computer has been asleep and I wake it, I get no visual indicator for a song playing In the big square in the top middle of the window). There's only the Apple logo, as if no song was playing.
Relaunching iTunes fixes the problem, but then it appears after the computer has been asleep again.

That Did The Trick...
Putting Airport Service First, and the putting My Network First on the list.
Airport Service WAS NOT the first. That Was Bluetooth.

Remote - waking computer from sleep

The Remote App rocks - but the only slight niggle I have with it is that if my Mac is asleep then I have to go upstairs to wake it up before I can connect Remote to play music on the various Airport speakers I have around the house.
I could leave the computer on the whole time, but I don't really want to do that - does anyone know if there is a way of setting it to wake when the Remote tries to connect?

And not be using Wifi, which doesn't let you use the magical 'Wake On LAN' functionality. Anyone in the 21st century with a wireless LAN is stuffed.
Maybe some way to do it with Bluetooth? (Though I haven't found a way, but have paired iPhone with my Mac, and have 'Allow Bluetooth to wake this computer' - I can't kickstart it...)
That would be really really REALLY handy! (Sorry I don't have a solution)

"Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual" message after I wake my computer from sleep

Connecting wirelessly after waking computer from sleep yields the message "connecting to the network is taking longer than usual". This only occurs after sleep, it also does not allow it to autoconnect like when starting the computer up. All
drivers seem to be up to date and happens at more than one wireless location, home and school. I have a windows 7 opperating system.

I just had the same problem with my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.
I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling my Intel Centrino Wireless Network adapter (but I did not delete the driver). I did this by right-clicking My Computer, Manage, Device Manager, expanded the Network Adapters group, and right-click the
Wireless Network Adapter and click Uninstall. I recommend that you reboot once this is done.
My laptop now connects to Wifi immediately after waking the laptop from sleep.
This is what finally resolved my problem. Sony Vaio with 64bit Windows 7. Wireless would sometimes take up to 3 minutes after Windows started to connect. After following these instructions, I first removed all wireless networks, then from the System Control
Panel I deleted (along with the driver) the Wireless Adapter. I then installed a fresh driver directly from the maker (not OEM).
I now connect to Wifi immediately after booting or waking from hibernation.
Thank you

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Computer Waking Prematurely From Sleep

My computer is waking prematurely from sleep.
When I type in powercfg -lastwake it says that it is the Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller - 8CB1
I can't seem to disable this from waking the computer. Can anyone help?

Hi anerickso,
Have you tried to select the power settings (Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power) under Device Manager for the Intel(R) 9 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller? (You may check the related USB devices with
the above settings)
As this is 3rd-party products related, you may also consider seek help at the Intel sdie and see if they could offer any helpful suggestions.
Best regards

I have a new I Mac running mountain lion. When waking the computer from sleep, all I get is a blue screen. I have to restart the computer.

Did you not bring all your important data over from your old computer? Do you have a backup of the iTunes library that you can restore? If not, then its not to late, just more work that it should be.
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, usb 3.0) often won't light up (function) after waking Mavericks from sleep

My iMac is 27" (mid-2010) with 8 GB RAM. My only problem is that my new Anker Powered USB Hub (7 port, USB 3.0) often does not wake when computer does. In other words, the power lights remain off following waking the computer from sleep and I must unplug and replug the HUB. I called Anker and they told me that Mavericks has a new "energy saving power mode" that may turn off power to a USB hub. This is most annoying and I hope that Apple can update Mavericks power management to fix this USB issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I've seen similar posts from D-Link USB hub owners. Perhaps if this "question" has a response trail, Apple will see it and create a fix.

Hopefully, Apple will monitor this issue and correct the USB power management issue. We'll see what happens with Yosemite.

Ethernet interface disappears after waking up from sleep

Hi guys,
I've been trying to debug a networking problem without any luck and I think it's about time I ask the forum for help.
My ethernet interface no longer works after I wake up my computer from sleep. I have no idea why.
Before sleep:
# ls /sys/class/net
lo wlp2s0 enp3s0f2
After waking up from sleep,
ls /sys/class/net
lo wlp2s0
Here are the list of services I have running.

Furthermore, plugging in the ethernet cord after the computer has started doesn't connect to the internet, even when I have the ifplugd service running. I am forced to run:
sudo ip link set enp3s0f2 up
sudo dhcpcd enp3s0f2
However, I can't run these commands after the laptop wakes up from sleep since it no longer sees the ethernet interface.
I am thoroughly confused. Please help me.

It seems to be fixed after the kernel update. On an related note, I've switched from using dhcpcd to netctl. I've enabled netctl to automatically connect to the network using:
# systemctl enable [email protected]
# systemctl enable [email protected]
So when I check for the status of the ethernet profile, I get told that's it's inactive.
#netctl status ethernet-dhcp
netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service - Networking for netctl profile ethernet-dhcp
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; static)
Active: inactive (dead)
Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
But I turned off the wireless, so I must be connected to the ethernet, So how do I know which profile I'm connected to?
