Dell XPS 8700 Wakes up from Hibernation on its Own

My Dell XPS 8700 which is set to hibernate most of the sleep suddenly wakes up on its own in the middle of the night. It has happened since the last few days every day almost.
Can someone suggest how to overcome this problem.

Rohit

I was able to solve the problem.
Dell XPS models has 'Allow Wake Timers" enabled on it by default.
I was able to disable it by going to Power Options >Change Plan Settings > Change Advanced Power Settings > Sleep> Allow Wake Timers > DIsable
Hopefully now my Desktop will get a good night sleep.

Windows 8 wakes up from hibernation on its own

Hello guys,
I recently updated to Windows 8. I've found that everytime I hibernate my PC it will automatically wake up on it's own at random times.
I had this issue with Windows 7 and fixed it by disabling wake armed peripherals. I've done this in Windows 8 with no luck.
I checked the automatic maintanance option and that is also disabled from waking up my PC.
I have no idea what else to do. The powercfg -lastwake command shows me no devices, it only says:
Wake History Count - 1
Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 0
Any ideas on what the issue could be or where I could start looking?

I have that exact problem as well unfortunately the "powercfg
-devicequery wake_armed" is largely useless as it is showing only USB mouse and keyboard to be able to wake the computer up and I know nobody touched it in the period when the computer decided to wake up by itself.
Additionally when I physically disconnect the network cable then the computer does NOT wake up by itself anymore. But I already disabled my network card from being able to wake up my computer - why is it waking up with the network cable in? And more
importantly - how can I stop this from happening?
Today I noticed the computer got woken up and immediately clientwindowsupdate program installed some updates. But I have configured the windows update to NOT wake up my computer..

HP Photosmart 7525 e wakes up from sleep on its own hourly.

My Hp Photosmart 7525 wakes up from sleep mode approx. every hour. It is set up as wireless and usb. is there some setting or update that I need to apply to fix this problem?

Hi DanHannon, Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your printer is waking up from sleep on its own hourly. I would try the following: 1.) Update the firmware. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates. 2.) Plug the printer's power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

DELL XPS 8700 rebuild?

I plan to sort of rebuild my Dell XPS 8700 desktop... I would like a new case, new psu, and a new GPU and possibly a new cooler! I plan on getting these items
GPU: GTX 970 superclocked 4gb
Case: Sentey® Bx1-4284 Plus Gaming Computer Case
PSU: Corsair CX750 750w PSU
The main thing that I am confused about is the case... I heard the motherboard may or may not fit the case properly, and I am in need of a better case, I need better cooling also due to my house being 80 degrees in the summertime... *** to *** huh? I don't feel like buying a new AC unit just to make sure my computer doesn't melt...
So any help would be awesome, I am set on buying that PSU and GPU, but the Case is a different ball game for me... I know Dell doesn't recommend replacing cases... but I bought the computer so I want to do it! Thanks!

From my personal experience, I wouldn't go for an Integrated card. This is one of the most important components for Photoshop, so invest in a decent graphics card (ATI or NVidia). It doesn't have to be a really exepensive one - I have been using ATI Radeon with 256MB of RAM on my Dell Studio for almost two years and it still rocks! (even when I work with 3D in Ps CS5 Extended).
I would also invest in more RAM (this can be added easily - I bought extra 4GB as my Studio came with 3GB).
I wouldn't worry about the processor - I'm on Intel Core 2 Duo - and it works very very well, it's very quick which is very important as I'm training Photoshop.
I hope this helps.

Problem beim Installieren von Adobe-Produkten auf DELL XPS 8700

Hallo,
seit ca. drei Monaten besitze ich einen DELL XPS 8700. Leider habe ich erhebliche Probleme mit der INstallation einiger Adobe-Produkte. Über die Datenverarbeitungszentrale meines Arbeitgebers kann ich die Produkte "Adobe Acrobat XI Pro" und "Adobe Photoshop CC" herunterladen (jeweils als ZIP-Ordner). Nach dem Entpacken startet zwar die Installation des Installers, bricht aber jeweils mittendrin ab. Mit anderen Rechnern klappt die Installation problemlos.
Mein Versuch, nun zumindest Photoshop Elements 9 von DVD zu installieren, scheiterte ebenfalls. War mit meinem bisherigen REchner auch kein Problem. Es muss also irgendwie an dem Dell-Rechner liegen. Hat jemand eine Idee, was ich machen kann?
Vielen Dank!
Herzliche Grüße
Stephan Barth

Kann keiner wissen. Dafür gibt's Installationslogs:
Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC
Und natürlich mal mit der IT-Abteilung klären, welche benutzerrechte auf dem System aktiv sind und ob du überhaupt Installationen machen darfst.

Equium A110: Cannot use LAN after wake up from hibernation or standby

Hi guys
I cannot use lan on my tosiba equium A110 after it wake up from hibernation or standby. The lan icon is there bur internet wont work. Please help me out.
One other problem. when i try to cut some thing i cannot paste it if i open a new folder. I have to keep the folder open go back cut it again and then paste it. I mean if after cut i open any folder it wont paste it.
Please help me out .
Thanks

Hi
Did you try to refresh the connection? Something similar happens on my notebook but not with LAN but with WLan. If you right click on the small lan icon you will see the option repair. Check it.
Have found also this possibility. I dont know if it will help but try it.
1. go to [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> select [System]
2. On system properties dialog box select [Hardware] tab -> click [Device manager]
3. On Device manager dialog box select [Networking adapters] -> double click [Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection]
4. Go to [Advanced] tab -> select [Wake On Settings] property -> Select [Wake on Magic & Directed]
5. Press [OK] to close the dialog box.

Mac OS 10.5 /
I deleted the " Private" folder ... and emptied the trash. So the folder and its contents no longer exists on my computer at all !!!
I do have the OS 10.5 dvd that i purchased years ago...
But my computer will not start from it on its own.
My question is what is the open source or terminal language code used to tell my mac to look in the DVD rom drive for startup info? I know that im not the only person in this world who has deleted the "PRIVATE" folder and emptied the trash so it no longer exists on their machine...
That said theres gotta be a common fix for a Power PC G4 that has the OS X dvd in the rom drive but wont look to it to reinstall the vital contents of the PRIVATE folder.
Once again there is not a copy of this file or its contents in the recycle bin...
Also rebooting the machine , pressing and holding the letter C does not prompt the machine to look to the dvd rom drive.
I was reinstalling pro tools and figured I would make some room by cleaning my computers HD...
Lol It was a bad choice to delete this file ...
Thanks guys

Okay sorry it took forever to respond... But for a while there I gave up on this computer!!!!
Money's been tight lately , so taking it in to a professional was not yet an option... though I did consider it eventhough.
Anyway long story short im glad I didnt spend any money because I already had all the tools necessary to fix this issue but was going about it in the wrong way. Okay so here is my scenario and the breakdown... Though this may not fix the issue for everyone :( which *****... But I know we all will have different circumstances.
Anyway here we go...
Okay so first things first.... Years ago I purchased the OS 10.5.1 disk ... So that has always been in my possession!!!!
I realize that some may not have a disk to reflash your OS to your hard drive... but if you do your in luck.
2ndly ... I had an external harddrive with all of my itunes downloaded music so it was more than okay with me to delete my primary HD because all the important stuff could either be copied over or repathed to be located.
-------If you dont want to read through the whole story the fix is summed up in the bottom section-------
Okay so now the SOLUTION!!!!
By trial and error , and pure boredom I opened up my computer to clean the inside...
AND
"Disconnected the primary HD"
and just because ....... REBOOTED my computer. Just to see what it would do.
Upon restart and though it looked like it would repeat its usual cycle...
About 1 minute in to that process my computer froze for about 2 seconds and flashed to the OS installation screen.
Mind you I havent seen this screen yet... Probably hasnt been since I installed the OS years ago.
After a bit of trial and error...
I decided to tell my computer to startup from the OS 10.5 disk located in my dvd rom drive and restarted once again...
this setting is under
Utilities / startup disk
After a little more trial and error ... I realized that I could reconnect the primary HD , restart the machine and return to the OS installation menu.
So upon this discovery
I went to the Disk Utility located under Utilities
Highlighted my primary HD located in the left hand column
Once highlighted ...
In the heading section on the right I selected the option
Erase
in which I erased My current OS on my primary HD ...
I used the first option in the list under security... Because it seemed like the least invasive and would take the least amount of time to see if this process would actually work.
I FORGOT to add something...
Another reason why I deleted my primary HD!!!!!
I forgot to say that it WOULD NOT!!!!! Show up in the STARTUP list as an option...Even After multiple reboots....
But like clockwork... Once I deleted its name IT SHOWED UP as an option!!!!
So back to the next step...
I returned to the STARTUP option under utilities ... And was then able to see MY primary HD now as a startup option...
But ofcourse it had no name because it we previously erased it.
So when Clicking my newly erased HD ... I was almost immediately prompted to REINSTALL the OS ...
Which said it would take about 57 minutes ... But I believe was alot less...
My issue was resolved ... My computer then stated the install was SUCCESSFUL!!!!!!! :))))))))))) lol ;)
It was like I was setting up for the first time ;) asking for my registration info...
The dilemma of deleting the private folder and emptying the trash is finally over resolved. Done ... and no extra money spent!!!!!!!!!
Its really crazy that the information for such a simple thing is not readily available. Especially being such a simple fix.
I know im not the only person who's had this issue , because i've seen numerous posts with similar wording.
I also know I wont be the last person to have this issue... So I hope this synopsis makes sense.
-------One more time the fix------
*Insert your OS dvd into your dvd rom drive.
*Unplug your primary HD or corrupted startup disk
*Reboot your machine...
Upon restart your primary HD will not be recognized...
* you will then be prompted to select your language.
Once selected
*Click Utilities/startup... Highlight the the selection that refers to the OS dvd located in the dvd rom drive.
* Click restart...
!!!!!!!!!!Be sure to reconnect your Primary HD Before your computer restarts and you hear the chime!!!!!!!!
If you do not replug your HD before the chime it will not be recognized.
In that case restart again.
Upon restart once again
*Choose your language...
*Click Utilities / disk utility
In the left column select and
*Highlight your HD ...
Then towards the top portion / center of the page
*Click the heading Erase
Then on the page toward the bottom
*Click security options
This will then provide erase options.
I USED THE FIRST OPTION
"Dont erase data"...
*click OK
* click erase...
Once erased which should take a few seconds
*Cancel the disk utility...
* Click Utilities / startup
And your newly erased HD should now appear in the list.
* Select your drive from the list by highlighting
It should no longer have a name.
*Once selected, you will then be prompted to restart and install the OS to your newly erased HD...
Thats it!!!!
Once everything reinstalls re-add your personal info or registration info and you are up and running.
Goodluck ;)

Firefox crashes when Mac OS X 10.6.8 wakes up from hibernation

Firefox has crashed now multiple times within a month in following event:
- Firefox browser is open (with 1 or more tabs) and Mac OS X 10.6.8 wakes up from sleep - whenever clicking to Firefox to continue browsing, it crashes immediately.
Open tabs have never been really heavy pages or something.
Simple as it is; If browser is open when waking up the Mac, it'll crash immediately when trying to use it.
EDIT: Browser was updated the same day question was posted::.

Go to System Preferences/Users/Login Items
Select the application you want to stop opening and click the minus button.

Satellite P200-144 shuts down after wake up from hibernation mode

Sometimes when I resume my computer from hibernation, I come back to it (after going to make a cup of tea whilst it boots up, for instance) to find it off again.
I have since observed it more closely and discovered the following: if I resume from hibernation and do not touch the mouse or keyboard, the computer will load up Windows but then hibernate itself again immediately.
If I move the mouse pointer at some point whilst Windows is finishing loading the desktop, etc., then the computer doesn't automatically hibernate.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?

Thanks for your reply. I am, and always have been, running the latest BIOS. I have never experienced the issue with standby, but that is probably because of the way I use my computer -- with standby, I start using it immediately. I have not tested resuming from standby and not pressing any buttons or moving the mouse.
Have you tested it as I described, by not moving the mouse or pressing any keys when resuming from hibernation, or are you just recalling from memory that you have not experienced it?

IMac wakes from sleep on its own with Yosemite

After installing Yosemite, my iMac wakes from sleep all on its own multiple times throughout the day and night. The screen does not turn on when this occurs and it goes back to sleep on its own. I figured the my energy settings may have changed after the upgrade, but nothing is different. I have no schedule set and the "wake for network access" is unchecked.

To my knowledge, any Mac that is 1. connected to power and 2. not powered down will wake periodically for the reasons I explained, and perhaps for additional reasons known only to Apple. If disabling "wake for network access" does not change anything, all I can say is that it's working as Apple intends it to work. Before you ask, I strongly discourage you from finding clever system "hacks" or workarounds to prevent your Mac from working as designed.
It may or may not be a bug. Whether it is or not though, if it bothers you, consider providing feedback to Apple.
When questions such as yours arise, it helps to look at iOS. iPads and iPhones will all periodically connect themselves for the purposes of downloading emails, Messages, alerts etc. There is no way to disable that, other than to completely power down the device, which almost no one does. Apple has been inexorably changing OS X to effectively implement iOS design features such as this – for better or worse is not for us to say.
May I ask why this concerns you? Perhaps that would lend some insight regarding possible solutions.

MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
-Open System Preferences.
-Open Network.
-Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
-Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
-Click Apply.
-Click the + button.
-For Interface, select Ethernet.
-For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
-Click on Create.
-Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
-Click on Apply and close Preferences.

Mac starts up from sleep on its own

Every few months, my iMac will start up from sleep mode on its own. Why does it do this, and is it something to be worried about?
I am not touching the mouse or keyboard or using any remotely connected devices when this occurs. Thanks!

There are different things that can wake it up, every few months- I wouldn't worry about it.

My 2007 Intel iMac is waking from sleep on its own during the early morning hours. Not sure why. Is there a way to find out by looking at some sort of log files or something else?

I'm wondering if someone else is having control of my iMac as it randomly wakes up from sleep while I am sleeping sometime during the night. I've woken up with the light from the monitor brightening my room. Need to find out what is causing it to wake up and stay on. Any suggestions?

I've had this same issue lately. Here's one thing to check: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Wake for Network Access should be unchecked.
Mine is unchecked, so the only other thing I can think of is that it might be Time Machine backing up. My iMac is backing up to an external hard drive, and also sharing that drive over the network so two other Macs can back up as well.
Should be an easy theory to test. Turn off AirPort, unplug Ethernet, and let the iMac sit. See if it still happens.
