Display sleeps but doesn't wake on click or tab

Hi,
I have a Mac Mini(mid 2011) with came with Lion. I just upgraded to 10.7.2 and since then there is an issue with the sleep function.
I have not put the mini to sleeep as i keep downloading large files or converting movies but the DISPLAY is set to sleep in 10 mins.
IT was all fine but ever since the update, the display doesn't wake up once it goes to sleep. Even though i click the mouse or press keys on keyboard.
A black screen prevails on the screen and the viable option left is to cut the power off and restart to access the screen. It is seriously hampering my ongoing tasks as they are closed abruptly.
For the time being i have set the display to never sleep. But i am looking for a solution.  Has anyone else also faced the issue after an the update. Any suggesstions would be highly appreciated.

  • My screen is no longer real vivid.  It looks like it's going to sleep but doesn't wake up.

    How can I make it look more vibrant?

    Glad to help, Carolyn. 
    You can press F1 to reduce the brightness if you get it too bright.

  • Leopard on MDD-Display sleeps but computer won't sleep or wake-Need Help!

    I installed Leopard on a 2nd internal drive and made it the boot drive. (I kept my 10.4.11 on the original internal drive.) Everything seems to run fine, but the machine will not go to sleep as told to do in System Prefs. The display sleeps, but the computer continues to run. (fans are on) It will not wake from this state. I have to power down and power up to get things going again.
    I also have the 'Repair Permissions' issue.. Bar says about one minute but just sits there.
    It's a MDD dual 1 gig, with 1.5 gig. mem.
    Can anyone help figure this one out?

    I spent literally hours on the phone with Apple Support. We tried one thing after another with no success. We deleted com.apple files, one Pref. file after another, we unplugged one external device after another. It went on for about 4 hours or more. I finally couldn't stand it any more and we agreed to give up for the day.I did some more research on my own and heard rummers about PCI USB/Firewire cards sometimes causing problems. I had such a card installed. It was an old Orange Micro card. I removed the card and guess what.. Everything worked just fine. Why it worked with 10.4.11 and not 10.5.1, is beyond me, but there you have it. Oh yeah, I did also install the FULL download of the 10.5.1 upgrade. The Software Update version is a patch, the full download is much more.
    Now I need to find a replacement PCI USB/Firewire card that runs with 10.5.1 Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hmm... I've had this macbook for a while now (?? a year maybe ??) and about 2 months ago I started having this exact issue, close lid to sleep returning it would not wake and a hard reset (hold power for 5+ seconds) is required.
    I too discovered such links as this and also the older (also unanswered):
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8690782
    But as others have said there doesn't appear to be a solution?
    RESET THE SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) does appear to work, however the issue returns again after a few days or weeks... I cannot find anything that guarantees to return the issue it just starts happening again after a while.
    The battery appears to be in okay condition, although I think it might run down a little faster now days than when I first bought it, but I assume this is to be expected.
    I also had suffered from what sounds like an issue with wifi weirdness - signal would drop to 0% suddenly, no longer "see" the wifi hub that it has been using forever (although it still, randomly, sees other nearby hubs) for no apparent reason, and that kind of thing - all these times the only solutions that have worked have been to stuff around with the wifi hub turing off extas, flipping from "Auto" to a specific Number (1 to 13) and turning on (OR OFF!) Mixed B/G to just B OR G... very strange... and random.
    The only things I've changed recently are, upgraded to snow leopard (from leopard) and got an external display. But I cannot say if the incidents coincided or not, as I didn't realise the sleep/wake issue was an issue for a while, as the first few times I just thougth "Oh, something weirds happened... Reset..." and didnt' really think too much about it until it happened for the 3rd or 4th time and I could see there was a pattern...
    The external monitor via minidisplay port adaptor i got from teh apple store.
    I don't use it with the machine closed or external keyboard/mouse, although I've heard you can do this, I use the monitor as a secondary display when I'm at the desk, the rest of the time I just use it as I have always done.
    I would love to see a solution to this, I guess I could try warranty, but I dunno if the issue is warranty "level"...?

  • IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

    Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
    It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
    Any ideas?

    Disable screen saver. Restart.

  • My computer sleeps and doesn't wake up

    Battery might have run down, but even when plugged into AC, computer won't start up. It appears to be sleeping, but won't wake up even though I'm giving it juice.

    I have the same computer, and probably the same problem. I never had any problem with sleeping and waking until one day when I closed and then opened and then closed the computer lid all in about a second. From then on, if I ever did a sleep by either closing the lid or selecting "sleep" from the Apple pull-down menu, the chance that it would wake up was about 1 in 10. The rest of the time, the disk would spin up but the screen was dark. There was nothing I could do except hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then restart. This was exceedingly annoying, as quickly sleeping the computer with all of my applications up is one of the best things about the laptop.
    I got on the Apple phone support line and they told me to do an "archive and install" with my original disks, but it didn't help, so the expert I finally got on the line said that it was probably a bad switch in my lid and to take it into my nearest Apple service centre. This I was loathe to do, because the most convenient one is run by the biggest bunch of jerks, so I put up with having to "Shut Down..." from the Apple menu and then restarting for a few months until I had time to take it to another place which is less convenient.
    However, recently I bought Leopard and did an install. Presto, my problem disappeared! It looked like a file was corrupted and was not fixed with "archive and install", but was with a new OS. I wish I knew what file that was.
    I should say that I also disabled the "safe sleep" option, which was mentioned as a potential problem when I was researching earlier. I greatly prefer having no safe sleep, because sleep now takes 2 seconds instead of almost a minute.

  • Mac Mini/Mountain Lion sleeps but won't wake up (or crashes) every night.

    Hi everybody,
    I have a mid-2010 mac mini server on which I recently installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (without server stuff).
    Every night, it stops responding. The led is on but the display is off and it does not respond to mouse/keyboard. I even tried remote desktop.
    The only solution is the power button...
    What I already did :
    - Reset Pram/Nvram
    - Reset SMC
    I also took a look at the console and I found a message that is fired just before the machine stops responding.

    Any clue ?

    Hi, I'm quite interested by your issue, because i get the exact same one.
    On my mini (late 2012), system doesn t wake up from sleep if it has slept for more than 1 hour.
    In fact I get the exact same message as you get in your console.
    When I try and wake up system before the programmed maintenance wakeup, it wakes up fine.
    But as soon as this programmed time has passed, it just won t wake up, I have to force switch it off via the power button and restart it.
    I have nothing plugged on my mini except : AC - Thunderbolt display, and LAN connected to my freebox.
    Do you still have the issue or is it ok now for you ?
    I'll try in the upcoming days to plug the freebox in the thunderbolt display's adapter instead of the macmini's rj45.

  • My computer sleeps, but doesn't

    When I close my laptop, the computer seems to go to sleep: the hard drive winds down and the light begins to pulse. But the console log suggests otherwise. Any thoughts? I have unchecked "wake for network access," have Bluetooth turned off, and nothing in the USB ports.

    I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

  • Computer goes to sleep and doesn't wake up

    Hi, I have an external hard drive (Western My Book), every time that the computer goes to sleep or I do it myself the computer doesn't wake up, I have to restart, I already used disk warrior, any suggestions? Thank you.

    never mind, I changed the connection to a different usb port and problem solved. Thanks anyway.

  • Mac Os x 10.5.5 will sleep but doesn't like to wake up. Help please.

    Whenever my macbook goes to sleep I need to do a hard shutdown after because an error message comes up telling me I need to restart it in about six languages. After I do so I get another message saying Mac Os x quit unexpectadly. I have the option to ignore or report. I have read on other threads about how you have to wait to close the screen and all that. I've tried.
    Mine gets into this situation if i click the apple and then click sleep and then leave it sitting just as it was when i was using it. When I come back I need to do a hard shutdown. How do i resolve this? It is also still under warranty.

    Thank you for the responses. I have tried to get the update multiple times, but when it finishes downloading and begins the install the progress bar gets stuck about a quarter of an inch into it and my macbook will sit like that for days. I gave up hope for it.
    I will try running the install discs to clear the errors.
    I just bought my macbook in august of 2008 and I've already run into this problem and I have totally given up hope for my firewire port.
    Do either of you happen to know anyone or had problems with your/their mac's this soon?
    And how do i get in touch with Apple by phone without paying for the call? I'm not one for paying alot of money and getting screwed on it so I would like to talk to them.

  • Very frustrating problem with external display-works but doesn't

    I just set up my new LED Viewsonic monitor with my new MBA and it works flawlessly...except when I first want to hook it up. When I first want to use it I plug everything (laptop is closed) and then proceed to turn on the monitor. When the monitor turns on it shows white noise UNTIL I open my laptop and go to the general settings. Why the heck is this happening?! I have it from HDMI out to a HDMI>DVI converter into the back of the monitor. It's just annoying and seems very peculiar. This also happens when everything is already working and the computer goes to sleep and I try to wake it up=white noise, until I open it up and go to the display tab under general settings.
    I appreciate any help that anyone can offer!!
    Thank you!

    I feel kind of stupid, but I guess I all I had to do was wait about 5-10 seconds and then it worked. Nevermind

  • Laptop P505D-S8000 went to sleep but won't wake up...

    Laptop was put to sleep and now won't wake up.  Power, plug & battery lights are on and power switch is lit.  No hard drive activity at boot.  Fans run than stop.  I tried all the known tricks of removing battery & power cord, pushing power button for 60 secs, than powering up with power cord only.  This seems to be the fixall for this problem when I searched the web but only seems to work for 1 out of 10 people.  I have checked the screen at an angle to make sure the backlight is not out but since I am not getting activity on the hard drive I figured it was OK.  I get nothing by trying to boot into setup modes, bios checks or safe mode.
    Any last advice other than take it to a toshiba tech?           Rick

    Unfortunately that fix doesn't always work because these symptoms often represent a hardware failure.
    Just to confirm, the power LED (not the AC adapter LED) does light up when you press the power button, right? If so, it does sound like you'll need to get the notebook serviced.

  • IMac is slow to wake from sleep, or doesn't wake at all sometimes

    hi guys
    I have a mac from late last year, i have updated software to 10.8.3, and found another update to help wake the mac up.  I have enabled hot corners, so you can you the mac to sleep by touching the corner, then swiping the track pad to wake....this will work for about 15 mins or so.  If you leave the screen for 2-4 hours, approx half the time you need to push the button on the back to start it back up.  Sometimes you will swipe the track pad, it will wake but the keyboard won't be working.  So then have to restart and all is well again.
    Am i missing something? 

    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 

  • X220 Appears to Sleep But Doesn't

    All, first I tried to get it to sleep in this thread.  I had that working for about a month just fine.  Then I noticed that about half the times I pull it out of my bag it is on fire, the fan is running and the battery is dead or just about dead.  Clearly it is not sleeping correctly.
    Either closing the lid of selecting sleep from the start menu does turn off the screen the way it should and it appears to sleep.  But most of the time the fan doesn't actually turn off (I have to hold the corner up to ear to hear/feel the hot air) and I guess its not really sleeping. 
    Im not sure what to try to do to troubleshoot this.  I know I really don't want to have to shut down every time I need to close the lid.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Guys, the EPIC FAILURE was on me and boy do I feel like a dope.  Sure enough, my never used wireless mouse was turned on inside the bottom of my bag.  I got my 5 year old to confess to messing around in my bag which must have turned it off.
    Seems like Sleep is now working again.
    Thanks for the help and sorry for the wasted bandwidth.

  • Computer goes to Sleep, but doesn't wakeup

    Hello,
    I just completed a build per below, and mostly issues have been resolved.   two nagging issue remains:   my computer goes into "sleep" mode overnight and it doesn't wakeup in the morning; I have to cut power and restart.    If I test immediately after placing computer in sleep mode, I can resurrect the computer normally.   But if I wait overnight, computer doesn't respond and my only recourse is to cut power and restart.
    I am using a wireless keyboard, but even with a USB keyboard I have the same issue.    Comments appreciated.
    ACPI = Enabled
    ACPI Suspend = S1(POS)
    Video off in suspend = yes
    Suspend time = Disabled
    Wakeup Event = Default
    A 2nd issue involes the wireless keyboard.    On boot, computer stops and notes "No keyboard attached."   It is correctly cataloging an error since the driver isn't yet loaded, right?   I am dead in water at that point.  The only option is to set the BIOS so that it doesn't "Halt on keyboard error", right?  This way it will continue to boot, load the driver, and I should be OK?    Is this the mechamism that is normally used with a wireless keyboard/mouse?   Thx.
    Scott
    PS  I just flashed bios to version 7.5; I presume problem will still exist with this version, but haven't verified.

    Try enabling "USB legacy support" in bios for this one.
