Energy Saver Display Sleep Not Working

I have a late 2011 MBP with an external 27" Apple display. Was working great under 10.7.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion the monitor will not go into sleep mode regardless of the Energy Saver settings. I can keystroke the monitors to sleep but they won't enter sleep automatically.
I've tried PRAM and SMC reset.
Any ideas? Bug for Apple? Anyone else having this problem? I've found at least one other guy online with a iMac that's having this problem.

So this seems to be working now. No software updates or other changes. The only thing I did different was to lock the energy saver settings. After that it started working.

Energy Saver Display Sleep not working after upgrade. Why???

I upgraded to Mavericks a few days ago and since then, the screen will not blank out after the set time on the Display Sleep bar. This happens whether on battery or power. I've run Verify/Repair Disk and Permissions, and still not go. Any suggestions on what else I might do or check to get this going again? Thanks!

What are your screensaver settings? What are your energy saver settings? Will the screen at least go dark or nothing at all? What programs are running? Some programs prevent any kind of sleep while running. I once had an issue on my old iBook when sleep and screensaver where set to 5 min or less and it prevented sleep at all.
There are 2 things that can help if the source is not 3rd party related: first reset PRAM, and if that didn't do anything, reset your SMC (system management controller), but read the linked Apple Instructions, it is recommended to be only used if everything else failed.

"Display sleep" not working

I have my energy saver set to have the display go to sleep after 1 min. I dont like the bright glare coming from the iMac when i am not using it.
It worked fine until last night.
One thing that i think may have changed it: i used an emulation software called SNES9x for playing games. I noticed that in order for the software to work it had to adjust the displays when I used it (i saw the blue screens come on for a second).
The displays look the same now that I am not using it though.
How do i get sleep display working again?

Hello, elgraso.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are a couple articles that I would take a look at when experiencing this issue.

Screen saver + Energy Saver (Computer Sleep + Display Sleep) won't work since Mavericks

Howdy,
Sorry to bother you.
My computer: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It took me some time to upgrade to Mavericks, but I did it eventually.
After having some problems with Spotlight (which was infinite looping indexing... and I just had to turn if off from Terminal), I realized I was encountering another big problem to me since the installation of Mavericks.
In System Preferences:
- 'Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver' : it is set to 1 minute;
- 'Energy Saver > Computer Sleep' : it is set to 10 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Display Sleep' : it is set to 5 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Put hard disks to sleep when possible' : it is checked.
- 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access' : it was checked. I unchecked it. Nothing changes.
- 'Energy Saver > Start up automatically after a power failure' : it is unchecked.
- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
So, before Mavericks, everything was working great.
Now, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes, or after 10 minutes: it's all the same. Nothing is sleepy. Nothing is energy saving.
I did not change anything in my computer since I've updated to Mavericks. However, I changed Wi-Fi. Since it was the only new change, I've "played" with 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access'. When I opened my System Preferences, it was checked. I unchecked it. It did not change anything. I'm not sure what it's used for.
I would appreciate any advice to make it work as it used to.
Thanks for your time reading and typing your answer,
Have a good day,
Regards,

- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
Built into the Software now.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might try Spotlight again. That is how the App Store knows what is installed.

thanks!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Save button is not working for ONE CLICK ACTION

Hi All,
We have embeded a custom table view in a standard component.While we are editing the first row of the table view by ONE CLICK ACTION & pressing the SAVE button of overview page,then the record is saved in the database. But if we edit any row other than the 1st one,the save button is not working.
We have used transaction context here for simple object.
lv_tx_ctxt = lr_ent_bt->get_transaction( ).
my_tx_context->add_tx_context( lv_tx_ctxt ).
Please suggest how we can focus on the current line which we are editing & can save the record in database?
Thanks.

Hi Hakan,
Probabaly this is not my problem. I know that how bt one click we can get the desired row.
Let me briefly explain you my requirement and currently where I am stuck.
I have a assignment block ( custom) in the main overview page with a custom table view ( ie in the view we are displayng entries in the table view ) and the user can press edit button on any row and that will open the particular row in edit mode . User will change the value in any of the columns and press save button on the main component and the custom changes will be saved in the database.
Now the problem that we are facing is when we are chnaging the first row it si working but when we are doing chnages in the 2nd row or 3rd row changes are not saved ( not even in the table view that is getting displayed) .
*Let me briefly tell you the approach that we took . Since our table view uses a simple object ( which is not a related object with BTORDER so we need to explicitly save the simple object entities to transaction context and for doing that we have redefined the eh_onsave method in the overview page) .
*Now the save button is in overview page so to pass the entry from our custom table view to overview we are using custom controller . The custom controller 's collection wrapper only has the first entry of the table view custom_controller->collection_wrapper->get_next is failing which is the reason why the 2nd entry is not getting saved.
Can you tell me how i can get all the table entries in my custom controller's collection wrapper?
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
Ron

I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

Mac Mini + A1038 Cinema Display does not work

Hi,
I have a 2009 model Mac Mini with mini-dvi and mini-display port's on the rear. I can connect any of my DVI based monitors to the mac mini using either the mini-dvi to dvi cable or the mini-displayport to dvi cable. All monitors except for the A1038 model Apple Cinema Display.
The cinema display works with 3 other computers with DVI ports, turns right on and is detected right away. When plugged into the mini it does nothing. Sometimes I can get it to work with the mini-dvi to dvi adapter but that is sporadic.
This is the same behavior with a 2009 model mac book pro and macbook. Using the mini-displayport to dvi cable the cinema display does not work but 3 other monitors do.
So my question is, why does apple hardware only work with non-apple hardware?

Is the A1038 the old, plastic Cinema Display that doesn't have a power cord or power supply? It only has a video cable with the special ADC on it? If that's the case, it needs this to run from a newer Mac:

My thunderbolt display is not working with my MBP retina 13''

Hi,
     I just received both a new macbook pro retina 13'' and a thunderbolt display. Everything was working properly yesterday but today, I have no clue why, the thunderbolt display is not working anymore.
     . the power supplier for my laptop given by the thunderbolt display is still working;
     . when I don't connect my laptop through the thunderbolt connection, I can use the usb sockets as power supplier , for my phone, for instance;
     . as soon as I plug the thunderbolt cable, the usb socket is not feeding any more my phone, whereas the screen is not displaying anything.
     . If I take a look in the system report, in the thunderbolt tab, there is "no device connected"...
I restarted plenty of time my laptop, took care to reinitialise the SMC as well as the PRAM, and nothing changed. I also disconnected the thunderbolt display, waited few minutes (and more), but nothing changed, again the black screen.
Has somebody an idea?
Thanks

which model air do you have?
try both a pram and smc reset
plug the monitor into a different electrical outlet and a different port on your Mac (if you have multiple tb ports)

Save changes button not working in my tabular form

Hello,
I have created a tabular form with all the button like cancel,delete,save,add row and their processes by default
when i tried to run the report, the save is not working (whenever i tried to make some changes and update the form) like it giving me an error saying that
" Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: no data found in tabular form "
I looked at the process MRU, it is OKAY.
I tried to delete it(the MRU process) and created a new MRU process then also the SAVE button is not working, like it gives the same error.
" Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: no data found in tabular form "
Can anyone help me out with this issue...!
what might be the problem?

There could be two reasons for this error:
1. in your MRU Process, you didn't type the proper primary key column name
2. your tabular form is missing the referenced collumn

Save in BKG not working

I re-installed CS5 after a reformat, and the 'background save' feature is not working. I was under the impression that it's a default setting. Is it something that I can reset? It was working fine with my first install.

What csuebele said.
Background save was a new feature in CS6

Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.
