Display sleeps after 1-2 minutes running Windows 8.1

Both my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch (Early 2013) and my wife/son's MacBook Pro 13-inch (Late 2011) are dual booted with Windows 8.1. Both have the same display issue; the display goes to sleep after approximately 1 to 2 minutes (1:20 to be precise). The issue didn't appear until the 2nd day after the install on my MacBook Pro Retina and it has been an ongoing issue for my wife on her 13-inch. Is it related to the 5.1.5621 or 5.1.5640 Boot Camp drivers? Can I remove those drivers and try to go back to the previously released set of drivers? That is when I notice the issue show on my MacBook but honestly there were so many updates through the process that this is just a guess. It's more of a nuisance than anything. After finding and installing Lubbos for the heating issue and TrackPad++ for the trackpad options I was hoping I could solve this as well. Has anyone heard of a fix for this? The only display/sleep issues I've been able to find are not similar to my issue, from what I've read anyways. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem and have been working with my company for a week trying to resolve this. We've tried the following:
- Altering MTU settings (700 - 1400)
- Turning on/off wireless and connecting via Ethernet
- Turning on/off encryption
- Tried DigiTunnel VPN client
None of this seems to work.
I am able to connect fine via Windows installed on the same MacBook. It's just the MacOS side that disconnects.

  • Mac Mini wont' Display Sleep after Yosemite Update

    My Mac Mini is no longer going into Display Sleep. Instead I now see the Screen Saver.  I have checked System Preferences | Energy Saver and it is definitely set to Display Sleep after 10 minutes (The default). What is interesting is that if I try to change the Display Sleep time (e.g. to 1 hour), when I go back into Energy Saver, it is back to 10 minutes - this doesn't look right!  In fact none of the options (e.g. Wake on LAN) seem to stay changed.
    This seemed to start after the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 a few days ago - but that might be coincidental. Until then Display Sleep had worked fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • 20" imac won't restart after rebooting under bootcamp running Windows XP. I get a black DOS screen with an error message.

    My imac has been running without problems under OS X Snow Leopard and bootcamp running Windows XP for a long time. I had received a Sony MP3 player and wanted to install the software on my computer. At the time I had a CD in my drive slot because I was getting ready to install some brother's software for a printer I wanted to use. I restarted my imac under bootcamp and started installing the Sony software in Windows XP. I was having problems with the install  and decided to restart XP to see if that would help. It's been several days since this originally happened so I'm not of sure of any more specifics at this point other than I've had to use windows machines for a long time and know that basically when in doubt "restart".
    When my imac was restarting I heard everything spinning up, the white light came on, but I heard no chime, a blue screen came up for about 15 to 30 sec. and then it went to a black screen with DOS characters giving the following message:
    Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.
    I do have a copy of Windows XP, but my first problem was that I still had a CD in the slot and it would not eject. I tried every keyboard combination I could find including: eject button, F12 and holding down the mouse button at start-up and nothing worked. I also tried every other start-up keyboard combination I could find at Apple Support jut to see if I could get my imac to start up under OS X . I finally went on youtube to find out how to remove the CD. I ended up opening up my imac and taking off the cover of the CD drive to remove the disk. After putting everything back together I put in my Windows CD and tried restarting again. The exact same thing happened and I ended up at the DOS screen. Then I thought maybe my keyboard wasn't working so I replaced it with a new one. Same result. I also thought to plug both of my apple keyboards into my windows 8 laptop (hate it!) to see if they worked there at all. They both did so I'm sure the keyboards are not the problem.
    At this point, since I do now have a windows 8 laptop (hate it!) there is no remaining reason for me to keep a bootcamp partition on my hard drive. My question is where do I go from here? I have a current time machine back-up on an external hard drive and I have my install CD for OS X Snow Leopard. How do I get my imac back up and running? Thanks.

    Can you OPTION boot? If so, then choose the OS X volume to boot back into OS X. From there you can use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume and restore the drive.
    Boot Using OPTION key:
      1. Restart the computer.
      2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
          "OPTION" key.
      3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
      4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
      5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Display region after one process has run

    I am using htmldb2.0 and I want to display regions after one process in another region of the same page has run. There is type named as "when process in comma delimited list of Process IDs has run" in condition type of region edit. I tried it with putting my process name(also followed with comma) in expression 1 text area but it doesn't work. I am wondering if this doesn't work, how can I implement it in my application.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ke Lin

    I do not get but....
    If one process on page start...then page is not rerenderd until it is finished. If process if finished page is submited and then on refresh page process is not running.
    So I do not understand how can two process be started on the same process together?
    If this si so maye this could be the solution....
    could you create autonomous transaction (it commits their data regarding transaction that it participate in!) to make some parameter in table to 1.
    When other process starts it checks this value and if this param is 1 then it should not continue.
    P.S.
    Do not forget to put another autonomous transaction procedure which will set param to "0" after process finish.
    Do this main proc with strong exception handling to ensure that param is allways set to 0.

  • Palm Desktop 6.2 update won't open after installing on PC running Windows XP

    I just installed the new version of Palm Desktop 6.2 on my Dell laptop running Windows XP Media Center to upgrade it from the older version and it won't open up. Whenever I try to open the application the message "Palm Desktop by ACCESS Application has encountered a problem and needs to close..." I've tried reinstalling the application but that doesn't help. I've also tried using the "Repair" of the installation to "Repair installation errors in the program." and it hasn't helped either. All my data on my Palm Centro is still there but I can't get Palm Desktop to open up. I want to get Palm Desktop to open up.

    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is not an upgrade to 4.x!   It was designed to fix the things Microsoft broke when Vista was born.
    It lacks many features that existed for many years in the 4.x versions.
    I'd suggest doing a Clean Uninstall and reinstall your original version!

  • BSOD every 20 minutes running windows XP in boot camp partition

    Has anyone else had this problem? Everything was running fine for a couple of months on my new mac OS X until around the time I installed the recommended updater to Boot Camp 2.1, then Windows XP started crashing every 20 minutes exactly, BCCode : 1000007f. One line of discussion suggests it's a boot camp problem but uninstalling the update hasn't helped. Others seemed to think it might be a graphics card incompatibility. I've now been advised that it's a Norton 2008 problem and I should uninstall that although I haven't tried yet. But the every 20 minutes must be some clue to what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks Axel. I removed Norton 2008 with the uninstall tool and hey presto no more BSODs so far (24 hours). I've also replaced Norton with Kaspersky. I guess this is really a Norton/Boot Camp compatibility problem but it's weird that Norton ran without problems on my system for five months until I installed the Boot Camp 2.1 updater. Having said that, I now see that there are a couple of discussions on this in the Boot Camp > Installation and Storage topic list ...
    In one of these, Mark Davidson3 resolved the problem by completely uninstalling/reinstalling his Boot Camp partition and is now running Norton again with no problem but I wonder if that's because he must have uninstalled/reinstalled Norton in the process. Like me, the crashes had started for him only after he installed the Boot Camp 2.1 updater. Presumably Norton would run again on my system now too if I reinstalled it.
    Has anyone out there talked to the Norton/Boot Camp people about this?

  • G5 going to pre-sleep after a few minutes - why? and is this normal?

    Hello
    My G5 will go to, what I'm calling pre-sleep, if I leave it alone for less than 5 minutes. Basically, when I come back it will take a few seconds to get going in motion again - saying if I stop a video or something in iMovie. Is this normal? I turned off the option for Energy Saver and turning the hard drive off when possible...but it still does it.
    any suggestions?
    thanks
    Chris

    Uncheck the "Put the hard drive to sleep when possible"
    If this is what you did already, then check your processor performance settings, it should be Automatic as default.
    You might have some sort of network or internet connection problem, disconnect physically, reboot and see if the problem continues.
    Your hard drive could be near full, keep it below 50% ideal to 80% max.
    Are you running any anti-malware or anything in the root level? Hacks or haxies? APE modules?
    Have you backed up, c booted from Tiger install disk and Disk utility Erase w/zero and reinstalled Tiger fresh?
    Did you do a Tiger over Panther upgrade? (not good)
    Descibe what your "sleep" is in more detail, just a lag or?

  • Photoshop Elements 11 organizer stops working after about 15 minutes with windows 7??

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled, changed preferences, removed preferences, added administrator priviledges with full control to several screens, turned over my screen to Dipanjan, Adobe Rep and still does exactly the same thing. Very frustrating! Anyone else getting this windows pop up screen " Photoshop Elements 11 organizer has stopped working" ?
    If I don't resolve this soon, I'm going back to PSE 10 and I guess I'll just have to eat the money wasted on it.
    Finally resolution!
    Three separate days totaling about 8-10 hours of chat then another 3 or more hours in chat about this issue today with 3 different people. Finally got to Vijay, who said to:
    click on edit in the organizer,
    go to preferences,
    click on media anaylsis,
    uncheck all the boxes.
    That did it!!! Less than two minutes, done!  No more problems. I can't imagine how much of Adobe's and my time and productivity was wasted going through all the laborious steps, often times repeating the same procedures when I got some one new, only to start all over again. 
    Many thanks Vijay. You suceeded where so many others failed!
    I sincerely hope if anyone else suffers this dilemma, this will instantly resolve it for you and avoid the extreme frustration and agony I went through.
    Cheers!

    Ernie, it shouldn't be required. This is a scientific process, a test to find the origin of the issue. If there is something wrong with the catalog, we can try to repair it, but the fact is there are many possible causes to such behavior and we have to start somewhere. Here is a more complete list of the steps you can take to counter this kind of issue: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-photoshop. html
    Is everyone here getting a blue screen from the OS? If so, there are much greater problems at hand than it is possible for an application on your computer to cause. Blue Screen errors are caused by hardware issues. Sometimes it is physically faulty parts, but most of the time it is some sort of driver conflict (generally just an old version that needs to be updated). Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for major hardware components, such as your video card. DO NOT rely on your OS to get the current versions of the drivers. Go to the manufacturer's website and download them directly.

  • Calls dropped after free minutes run out

    Hello,
    There is already a post on this subject, but it's back in 2013, so I figured re-raising it would be worthwhile, particularly given how annoying it is. Here is the original post:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Rates-and-subscriptions/After-Office-365-Minutes-Run-Out-Call-Drops-Bu...
    Basically, I have some free minutes given to me every month thanks to my subscription with Office 365. When these minutes run out, my call drops - even though I have cash credit on my account. The fact it does not do a seamless transfer from my account of "free minutes" to my account of "cash" is extremely annoying. Given that most of my calls are to companies (e.g. to make payments, transfers, talk with the bank, etc) it is extremely annoying to have to reconnect with the caller, through the machine, give address/card details again, etc... And this is something that happens once every single month!! It's very annoying, and really stupid that Skype won't fix this. It's hardly rocket science to make both accounts refer to a single consolidated account.
    With increasing amounts of competition out there this is a good enough reason to take my business elsewhere. Even if it's slightly more expensive, whilst I can understand that issues sometimes take a while to fix - this seems to me like a deliberate decision not to do anything about a customer complaint, and I can't support such an attitude from a company.
    Skype - please tell me that this will post will change your mind about this issue, and that you will add this to your list of things to fix.

    1. It is clear that when a 60 mins subscription comes to and end the call drops rather than the call  continuting and moving to Skpe credit.  It is at best irritating and should be fixable.
    2.  If nothing else it would be helpful to have a warning flag up that the call is about to drop, particular if the call is important.  Sort it out Skype!
    Hello and welcome to the Skype Community.
    1. Unfortunately, calls can't be continued seamlessly when the call charging protocol changes. In this case the change is from Subscription to Credit.
    2. I don't think that's possible but I'll check and advise.

  • Is there a way to put system to sleep after Time Machine runs?

    I don't need to run Time Machine every hour, especially since my TM disk is on Firewire and not built in (had a disk fail with TM volume on same disk - bad idea)
    When TM runs, it has to spin up the Firewire external disk, so I just run TM by hand now. I'd like to do this when I go to dinner or to sleep etc
    Is there a way to have the Mac system sleep after Time Machine finishes running?  An AppleScript perhaps?
    thanks

    I have not seen one, and that is exactly how I use TM. Unmount, turn off the drive. Turn on the drive, the backup volume mounts automatically and TM resumes its scheduled backups.
    Your Console logs will reveal the times in which TM attempted to back up but could not find the device:

    The last entry will repeat every hour, until it finds the TM device. Its normally scheduled activity will resume when it does.
