Bug? Playlists change sort after sleeping.

It's only a minor annoyance, but I've noticed that the iPod normally sorts the playlists smart playlists first, then regular playlists. Otherwise they're in alphabetical order. This is the same order that they're in in iTunes. However, after a playlist finishes and/or I wake the iPod in the playlist menu, the sort order is straight alphabetical, with smart playlists and regular playlists mixed together. Clicking Menu and then selecting Playlists again will restore the regular sort: smart playlists first, on top, then regular playlists.
What's up with that?

More strange behavior - when I do create a collection, the sort is now "correct", the way I want it, though with the metadata that I updated, it is now not sorted by time, strictly speaking.

Macbook air changes application after sleep

I have an 11" MacBook air, core i5 4GB, running 10.7.3
When I close the screen and reopen it, Lion changes to the 'previous' program as if depressing cmd-tab once.
Any thoughts on how to adjust this?
Thanks,

My problem with my MBA not reconnecting to wifi after sleep is now fixed.
The problem was that my router was set to NOT broadcast the SSID. Once I changed it to broadcast the SSID the problem went away. The document below was helpful.

IOS 5.1 Bug: Delayed Texts/VM's, especially after sleep mode

Just updated my iPhone 4 and have been getting some bugs regarding texts, voicemails and sleep mode.
Texts and voicemails are delayed hours after being sent. Regarding sleep mode, when ever it is in sleep mode no activity goes through the phone. No texts/notufications or anything.
Is anyone else having similar bugs? Did you find any solutions?

Spoke with ATT and they said that they will go backwards and find what has changed between now and working service... which is obviously the update. So they said talk to Apple. And they sent me some articles I need to look at to trouble shoot it.
I also sent a bug report to Apple about this because noone else seems to be getting these 2 bugs...

After sleeping, My i-Mac never changes to Stand-by.what's wrong?

why my i-Mac does not go to Stand-by after sleeping for three hours?
(the back fan keeps working). Apple website says after 3 hours, it should change from Sleep to Stand-by. No USB/memory/SDcard is connected either, only cable connected is for Ethernet internet.
I know about this : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4392

This problem is not unknown, it appears. Don't know if the link here will help.

Any way to change sort order of playlists in iTunes?

When you select Music (top left of screen) and Playlists (top middle of screen) in iTunes 11, a list of playlists appears in a pane on the left. The playlists are sorted first by smart playlists, then by normal playlists (with individual playlists sorted alphabetically within each of the two groupings).
I want all the playlists sorted alphabetically, regardless of whether each one is a smart playlist or a normal playist. Any way to do this? Thx

The answer is no, the order cannot be changed.

MBP Changes color settings after sleep

After my computer goes to sleep, it has recently been waking up with a different color setting. Where the yellows are very dull and the screen has a blue hue. When I go to System Pref > Displays it changes back to normal without me clicking anything. It is getting very annoying, anyone know why it is doing this?
My computer is connected to a 24" LED cinema display which doesn't change colors on its own. The laptop has also done this without being connected to cinema display.
Thanks guys

This happens to me, also.
Just as you described - it happens when connected to an external display and when not connected.
It happens to me even without sleep; screensaver is enough.
I have my computer set to ask for a password after sleep/screensaver. Do you?

P.S. I just did a search of the forums - this is apparently a very common problem, dating back at least to Leopard. I haven't seen a definitive fix for it yet.

Problems auto-connecting after sleep & startup (Changed from WPA to WEP)

Okay, I know there have been several issues similar to this, but after two days of sifting through posts, I still can't resolve this.
A few days ago I switched my AirPort network security from WPA to WEP-128. This was required to allow my Nintendo DS to connect to the netwrok, by the way. After the change, two similar, but slightly different problems started:
My 15" PowerBook G4 no longer auto-connects to the network at startup. The network is listed in the drop-down, and connects with no problem when I choose it manually. The computer seems to have no problem re-connecting after waking from sleep, which is odd because...
My other PowerBook, a 12" G4, won't auto-connect at startup AND won't re-connect after sleep. As above, it has no problem connecting using the Keychain once the network is selected from the drop-down.
So far I have tried, on both machines:
- trashing the system airport prefs
- deleting and resetting the network's keychain entry
- repairing the keychain (no errors found)
- turning off some unneeded power mgt options
- disconnecting USB peripherals
I have also reloaded the software on both my AirPort Extreme base and my AirPort Express hub, as well as restarting both hubs. I've also made sure that AirPort is at the top of the network connection list.
Both laptops are running 10.4.3 and have all the latest software updates installed.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Both of these replies are helpful, in that they help confirm something I figured out this morning, almost accidentally.
One thing I didn't mention was that during the change from WPA to WEP I changed the network password. Now, I assumed that since the Keychain seemed to be working and I could get on the network manually without needing to enter the password each time, that meant the new password had correctly propagated throughout the system.
So, this morning I go into the Network settings, switch from Automatic to Preferred, select my network, look at the properties, and notice that somehow it has way too many bullets for that to be the correct password. I re-entered the password and that seems to have solved the problem. The new password I had entered somehow didn't make it into this setting. I guess trashing the network prefs, or renaming the network would have had the same effect.

HT204060 Set how long after sleep a passcode is required - I am trying to change this but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

I am trying to change how long after sleep a passcode is required, but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

Thanks for the help guys. Disabling Touch ID allows me to see other options...Although I don't understand why Apple would feel the need to put that restriction in place. Doesn't seem to be any sense behind it..

How can I require a password to change the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting

My son has a habit of disabling the "Require password after sleep or screen saver begins" setting whenever my wife lets him play a game on her account. I notice every other setting on the "Security & Privacy -> General" tab is protected by the lock on the lower left corner. I've never understood why this one is not. Is there any way that I can get that setting to also be controlled by the lock?

Because that setting is specific to the account currently logged in and doesn't potentially affect any others or the system itself, which is the level in general at which administrator or root access is required.

Network connection keeps changing after sleep mode

I bought a brand new iMac for my mom just over 2 months ago and have been having internet connection problems. Sleep is set manually going under Apple and hitting sleep. Every time it's woken up after sleep the internet connection is gone and has to keep manually being switched to our network name which is quite frustrating. Tried this fix found on an old link on here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/06/lion-wi-fi-problems-solution-mac/?utm_source=feed burner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+osxdaily+%28OS+X+Daily%29&utm_conten t=FaceBook
and it didn't work. All the threads I found were from 2010 or 2012. Just wondering if there is a recent fix on here.

Welcome to the forums!
Only if it's Ethernet, not Airport/Wireless, because the radios are shut down to save energy.

No video after sleep mode.

Brand new home built system (all new components unless noted otherwise) running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium on the following hardware:
MSI X58 Pro-E motherboard,
Intel Core i7-920 (2.66) CPU,
Enermax PRO82+ 525W powersupply,
Sapphire ATI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E video,
8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM,
WD Velociraptor 150GB 10,000 RPM boot drive,
WD 500GB Caviar Black for file storage,
Plextor DVD-RW,
CoolerMaster case.
Older Viewsonic VP2030B monitor,
Older Microsoft Desktop 6000 V2 keyboard/mouse.
With standard Windows 7 power saving features enabled, the following
intermittent problems occur:
After the system has gone into sleep mode, the video card provides no signal to the monitor. Moving the mouse or touching keys on the keyboard obviously bring the system back out of sleep mode, but no video signal is received. Unplugging the DVI-D
cable from the card results in the Windows sound indicating a change. Plugging it back in, results in a Windows sound indicating the change. This happens when you unplug one end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it is at the monitor end or the video card
end - as long as the other end is of course still plugged in. The only resolution to this "no video" state is to reboot the computer with the power or reset button.
On some occasions when turning the PC on, there is no video signal. The system boots properly (although the BIOS screen takes about 15 seconds to appear - something MSI says is OK), and can be shut down with the correct keyboard sequence. The monitor
runs through VGA, DVI-A and DVI-D, but no signal is ever received so it goes into standby mode.
When the computer boots properly, usually while it is still loading Outlook (which is set to start automatically), the screen goes completely blank for 5 or more seconds, then comes back on and the monitor menu indicates that it is running at the correct
resolution, and then the video works correctly from there on in - unless it goes to sleep.
On some occasions, when recovering from a "no video after sleep mode" incident, everything on the screen has been moved towards the upper left side of the screen. The Outlook window which is normally quite large (80%) and centred on the screen has been reduced
in size to about 50% and shoved into the top left corner. Also, the 4 gadgets that normally run vertically along the right side of the screen have been moved up and towards the middle of the screen, one or two of them often overlap others.
Things I have done/tried:
All Windows 7 updates,
All motherboard BIOS updates,
All video card drivers and software updates from ATI,
Replaced the DVI-D cable,
Uninstalled the video card and drivers, and moved the card to a different PCI-E slot,
Replaced the video card with another Sapphire ATI HD5450 card (temporarily).
Sapphire thinks it's a hardware problem with the original card, but since temporarily replacing it with another card, the problems continue, so I doubt that is the issue. (Plus I have to pay $25 to ship the apparently defective - under warranty card - back
to them.)
These problems have happened intermittently since the system was built in January 2010 and they seem to be quite random, sometimes not happening for weeks, other times happening every few days. Sometimes the system is in sleep mode for 1/2 hour and it happens,
other times it is in sleep mode for hours and it happens (or doesn't).
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi again,
OK, I finally got around to trying this. I still have to check if that actually fixed it, but I managed to get into the "Factory" OSD screen.
I had my system running, disconnected my new monitor and plugged in the flaky old Viewsonic. I then:
1. Depressed and held down the #2 button, then depressed and held down the Power button,
2. Almost immediately the amber power light turned-on, the backlight turned on and the output image from the PC showed up.
3. The On Screen Display (OSD) for all the monitor setting came up (at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle where it normally is), and underneath the Main Menu window in the OSD, along the bottom of the overall OSD window, the word "Factory" appears
in the middle between the control button keys (#1 for exit, and #2 for enter). (It's not normally there.)
4. Using the down arrow key on the face of the monitor, I highlighted the "Factory" menu item, pressed the #2 key and voula! there was a whole new simple white text on bright blue background window, which among all sorts of settings included "Factory Reset"
(which is the default selection).
5. I pressed #2 again to accept and it was done.
All that is left is to do is some user testing to see if the monitor behaves as new.
Additional informtion: in the top of the "Factory" menu it reads: "LOVP AU Ver.0.36"
I took photos of everything and will post them on my Flickr account. To find them go to wwww.flickr.com, click on the search button, then on the next screen click on the People tab, enter my name and click search.
Thanks again for the advice.

Mac mini loses mouse and keyboard after sleep.

Hi Everyone:
I recently bought my Mom one of the new Mac mini (I'm a PowerBook user myself), and she's running into some puzzling problems which, while minor, are sufficiently annoying as to confuse poor old Mom.
The system egnrally runs fine after you turn it on, until it goes to sleep. After some undefined period in sleep mode, the Mac mini appears to "lose" the USB keyboard and mouse which is plugged into it. If you press a mouse button or a keyboard key a few minutes within the system going to sleep, the system will wake up and both will work. If you wait a longer period of time (say, 20 minutes or longer, although I haven't sat and timed it at all), pressing any key or mouse button does nothing, and you have to wake it from sleep by using the power button. Once awake, the keyboard and mouse do nothing. The only way to get them back is to unplug both of them (the mouse is chained through the keyboard as the other Mac mini USB slot is used by Mom's UPS), and plug them back in so the Mac mini can re-detect them on the bus, after which everything is happy again until the system has been asleep for too long.
Has anyone experienced this? Both the mouse and keyboard are genuine IBM (as in: made by International Business Machines), although are several years old (I bought them when I worked for IBM, and IIRC they were amongst the first models of USB keyboards and mice that IBM offered, if not the first).
In the interm, I've lent Mom my Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, which has (as you would expect) worked flawlessly. This problem may "solve" itself -- I'm hoping to take Mom out later this week to buy her own Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard at the Apple Store.
The other problem, however, isn't as easy (or necessarily as cheap) to fix. Again after the system has been asleep for some time, it often (but not always) changing the resolution of the monitor when it wakes up. I have the mini set to use a reasonable 1024*768, but sometimes when it awakes it will suddenly be set to 800*600 or 832*624. Sure, you can change it back, but that's major surgury for Mom (and I'm moving cross-country next week, and won't be able to just "drop by" to fix system problems). The monitor is an Ambra SVGA model (Ambra was a brand-name of inexpensive PCs that IBM sold some years ago), and never had any such problems on her last (Intel-based) system the mini is replacing.
The whole purpose of the Mac mini is to "bring your own" Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor -- but in our case the keyboard and mouse don't work at all after sleep, and the monitors resolution gets dynamically changed after sleep. Has anyone else encountered this situations, or any solutions? TIA!
Brad BARCLAY

Hey Jan:
I've seen quite a few posts in this regard with non-Apple mice and keyboard.
Well, the mouse and keyboard are quite old -- it could be that they're having a problem dealing with identifying themselves on the USB bus during sleep, or aren't identifying themselves fast enough at wake time. I'll just have to replace them I guess.
I've never seen a sleep resolution switching problem except on a VGA adapter to DVI connection to an old tube monitor.
Well, this is a pretty vanilla CRT monitor circa about 1999, so yeah -- it could once again be an age issue, and the fact that there is a DVI -> VGA adapter involved in the middle.
For worrying about fixing Mom's Mac, setup her remote VNC software (Apple Remote Desktop Client) and use the free Chicken of the VNC admin program.
I am quite familiar with VNC. As much admin as possible will be done by SSH, but I will have VNC in place before I leave. The big problem is going to be the fact that I'm going to be several timezones (and over 4000 km) away, so I won't necessarily be available at a moments notice to help her with this sort of thing.
The CRT issue we might just have to deal with by having her always run it at 800*600 (I don't think she'd really notice the difference, and as her eyes aren't what they once used to be, the slight size increase may be more confortable for her in the long run) until such time they she can afford to buy a nicer display (I did my duty as a son buying her the Mac mini and an iSight camera -- she has to take care of the rest ).
Yaz.

Playlist / change the play order ,,, Gen 2 15GB classic

I have most things mastered Ipod wise -ish , after 6 months "no !!! I can figure it out "
No luck with highlight drag & drop play lists up or down to change play order ???
I have applied a bandage to my forehead from beating it against the wall .
Thanks bandage head

I assume you want a custom sort order within a playlist, not sorted by Song, Artist, or Album.
With the playlist in view in iTunes, make sure that "Shuffle" is turned off. Then click on the left-most header (the empty box over the numbers in the left column). Once you click on that empty box you have unlocked the playlist and can then drag songs to any order you like (just make sure Shuffle is OFF).
When you're done, Option-click on the playlist name (right-click in Windows) and select "Copy to Play Order" to lock in the new sort order. If you auto-sync then you would re-sync the iPod. If you manually manage the iPod, you should be able to do this on the playlist on the iPod with it connected to iTunes.

Playlists not sorted right in iOS5

after installing iOS 5, my playlists are not sorted the way they are in iTunes, for example I got an intelligent playlist with a couple of rules, and sorted by "rating".
Then on iPhone 4, the playlist is sorted on another way, really weird bug cause if I display in iTunes the playlist inside the devide while plugged into the computer it shows as expected but on the go it's totally different.
I tried syncing it again and rebooting the device.

Do matters improve if you update to iPhoto 9.4.1?
iPhoto 9.4.1
From the release notes for the new version:
What's New in Version 9.4.1
Improves the reliability of syncing to iOS devices via iTunes
Fixes an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when using the Export command
Addresses an issue that could cause iPhoto to quit unexpectedly when upgrading multiple books, cards, and calendars
Resolves an issue with downloading and viewing photos synced from Facebook albums

Yosemite server Profile manager how setup time for password after sleep

Hi,
In Profile Manager in Setup & Privacy is possibility setup password after sleep, but I need setup time period. Is it possible? Because when I push this profile it prevent users to setup this period and when i remove this profile (whole payload for Security & Privacy) it still prevent users to change this two setting.

Hi CodyCodes,
Just discovered the same issue today as well. Further complicating things, the screensaver timeout setting in Login Window doesn't apply to Profile Manager clients no matter what the setting. This was reproduced and confirmed by the Apple Tech I was working with. He's submitted the bug to their engineering staff. I requested that he ask them why there is no setting for password on sleep or screensaver. Hopefully this is resolved soon, as this feature is 99% of the reason we're implementing Profile Manager to begin with.
Cheers
