Everytime my computer goes to sleep it goes offline.

everytime I walk away and my computer goes to sleep it goes off line and I have to put my admin password to get in. the password is saved in the keychain.
annoying!!!
thanks for any help I can get!!!!

Your computer will go offline when it goes to sleep.
If you don't want it to go offline, then you shouldn't let it go to sleep.
There are applications on the app store etc that can prevent your computer from falling asleep.
Go to System Preferences ---> Security and Privacy.Uncheck "Require Password .......".
Then you won't have to key in your password when waking up.

Cant connect to internet after computer goes to sleep mode.

Everytime my computer goes into sleep mode it wont let me connect back to safari. It shows im connected but wont connect. Can anyone help me?

Hi there. I have the same sort of problem with my MacBook. To get the internet working again I have to restart the system. Sometimes the same sort of thing (shows I'm connected but doesn't really connect) happens when I'm in the middle of using the internet. I've posted a topic ("Problem with AirPort?") about this also and I've gotten a few responses already. Maybe one of them can help you out (no luck for me so far though).

MBP 13in drops wifi when computer goes to sleep, I have to restart the computer to reconnect. Help?

I recently did the Lion update on my MBP. Since then my computer will drop wifi connection everytime the computer goes to sleep. It will not let me log on network saying invailed password. I have to restart the computer and then it connects automatically. This is NOT a router problem. Skip any and all advice about routers. I have 4 other Apple products all connected to wifi perfectly. This is a MBP issue. Please help.

On the MBP, go to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration
Move all the files in the System Configuration folder to the Trash.
Restart the Mac.
It will not let me log on network saying invailed password
Just in case, open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities
Select Passwords on the left.
Use the search field top right corner of the window to locate your network keychain.
Now right or control click the keychain then click Get Info then select the Attributes tab.
Click: Show password
Make sure it's correct.
And launch AirPort Utility /Applications/Utilities
Select the connection on the left the click Manual Setup.
Select AirPort from the menu then select the Wireless tab.
Make sure the password is available there then click Update.

Final Cut Not responding after computer is in Sleep Mode

I put my computer to sleep for a few hours when I go away on a shoot. When I come back and wake the computer, final cut gives me the spinning wheel of death and is not responding. What is even more annoying is when I go to force quit the program, it doesn't quit from the task bar and the dot under the icon of final cut is still lit. Even after trying 10 force quits it still stays active. I am forced to shutdown my computer everytime and this problem happens everytime the computer goes to sleep and is woken up.
Is there a fix to this?

Which version of FCP?
Are you on a network?
How many drives are in your Mac?
And, if there is more than one drive, are you absolutely certain you placed your registration information on the correct drive?
The usual explanation is that FCP is trying to locate or verify the serial number (different behaviors in different versions). The drive where that info is stored is inaccessible (because the drive is not spinning and so is the same as not mounted) to FCP (which is loaded into RAM) and totally active.

Computer goes to sleep whenever i try to render or save a large file

I have a g5 dual 2.7 running 10.4.6.
I almost only use photoshop cs and final cut pro 5. Everytime I try to render or export a fcp project or save a large photoshop file which takes more than say a minute to process the computer goes to sleep, the scree goes black and I can hear the hard drives stop whirring. There are some things which seem to be uneffected by this, but last night I wanted to render a 40 minute film in fcp, and left it rendering over night, when i came in in the morning it still said 50 minutes remaining, and it should not have been much more than an hour in total
can anyone help please.

You should check your Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. Change it so that it doesn't put your hard drive to sleep for at least 1 hour; longer if you know your rendering will take longer. Then, even if your monitor goes to sleep, your disks will keep running and the rendering should be completed.

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks

This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode

Time Machine stops due to computer going into Sleep/Hibernation Mode then restarts to try to start the Back up process again and again vicious cycle. I have made sure all settings are turned off. I have done one or two backups since the initial first backup. My HDD is almost full and I want it backed up before I try to clone/mirror the drive to upgrade it to a 1TB HDD. Thank you in advance.

Set the Energy Saver (in System Preferences) to Never. Then reset the NVRAM, as follows:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
Release the keys.

Why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep

why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep?

What do you mean by "close"? Your open applications stay open when you put your computer to sleep. However, if you have an app like iMovie open, for example, and you are exporting a video, than exporting will pause when your computer is asleep.

Apple tv loses home sharing when my computer goes into sleep mode

Just recently, my Apple TV says that home sharing is off when my computer goes into sleep mode. It never used to do that - any suggestions?

I have the same problem here. Always back-ed up with Time Machine (OSX 10.9 Mavericks) to Western Digital drives. MyBooks, MyPassport 1TB (USB 3.0), all works fine. Time Machine is actually doing back-ups overnight. Since I got this new 2TB MyPassport Ultra USB 3.0 it's working perfect during days, but every morning when I wake up the MacBook from sleep, I get this annoying error:
Time Machine couldn’t complete the backup to “MyPassportUltra”.
Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup folder.
Latest successful backup: Today, 02:27 am
I'm also not able to write anything to that drive, or unmount it. It stil shows up in Finder, and I'm able to read all the data perfectly fine. When I do a Disk Utility Verify Disk directly after, I get this:
Checking volume
disk3s2: Scan for Volume Headers
Invalid Volume Header @ 0: I/O error
Invalid Volume Header @ 2000021315072: I/O error
disk3s2 is not a CoreStorage volume
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
I don't click Repair Disk, as this will probably screw up my partition. Instead, I have to unplug the USB cable (which is bad for the drive, there's no time to park the drive's heads) and plug it in again. After clicking Backup Now, Time Machine immediately starts backing up, and the drive works fine the rest of the day.
I contacted WD Support, and they are sending me a booster USB cable. As System Information reports, the drive receives enough power though:
Current Available (mA): 900
Current Required (mA): 224
Unfortunately there's no firmware update for this drive, which will probably fix this. See this topic: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4196704.

Time Machine crashes whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer or post about this. Every time I try to initialize Time Machine, it will begin backing up until the computer goes to sleep or the screen saver kicks in. When I wake the computer up, I get a message that says "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk." The message also tells me that the problem might be temporary and to try Disk Utility to repair the backup disk if the problem persists.
When I run Disk Utility, I am told that the volume cannot be repaired and that it needs to be reformatted. I reformat the disk, try to run Time Machine again, and get the same problem whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I managed to get an initial backup only if I turned off the screen saver and the sleep function. However, once I turned them back on, I ran into the same problem when Time Machine tried to update the backup.
I am running OS X v.10.6.8 on an iMac5,1. The backup is a Toshiba 1TB USB external HD. I saw this same problem posted in the Lion forum (and I cribbed the title of this post from there). Nobody has offered a solution yet, but it was a very recent post.
Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah I forgot to say I use an ETHERNET connection.

Leopard 10.5.6 quits when computer goes to sleep

Hello -
The moment my Macbook goes to sleep, the screen grays and I get a notice in several languages that OS X has quit. I force the computer to turn off by holding down the button. Then restart and - after being offered an opportunity to report the problem -- all is fine until the next sleep.
It coincided with software updating today. Not sure what all went on there.
It's Leopard 10.5.6
Thanks for any help.
Josh

CLARIFICATION OF THE ORIGINAL ISSUE:
The moment my computer goes towards sleep mode the multilingual message simply says the computer must be restarted. I get the OS X Quit message on restart, which may only refer to my force quit.
So... Removed the Ipod, pushed sleep, and had the same negative result. Tried it again after restart with the Ipod still disconnected with the identical negative result.
Still stuck. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks.

Computer goes to sleep while I'm working

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone can pinpoint my problem and help me fix it.
My computer goes to sleep while I'm working on it.
Just by itself. Sometimes right in a row.
Does anyone know any tips that I can use.
I copied the contents from Console.app
and here is what I found:
sleep demand recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n
Mar 1 08:49:24 My-G5 EÊæÔ[137]: sleeptime recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n
Mar 1 08:49:24 My-G5 EÊæÔ[137]: waketime is: Thu Mar 1 08:49:24 2007\n\n
Mar 1 08:51:46 My-G5 EÊæÔ[137]: sleep demand recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:51:46 2007\n\n
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
(username is your name or System Administrators name)
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
Cheers!

My Computer goes to sleep on its own, then just gets mad and shuts down?

I have a problem i hope some of you wonderful people can help me with. I have no idea why but when i am in the middle of something, doesn't matter what i am doing. my computer fan speeds up, then my computer goes into what appears to be sleep mode ( you know blank screen little light coming on then off in a rhythmic way). if i hit a key it seems to come alive and then same thing happens until it just shuts down completely. I had this happen once before and went to apple online and saw that they had a service extension. i guess my computer wasnt the only one having the problem.. I had it fixed by an authorized apple repair dealer listed on apple.com in my hometown. Its acting up again and i am wondering if it could be anything else....... any one got any ideas?
Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Could you please tell us your processor speed (Apple menu > About This Mac) and screen size so we can best advice on the specifics of this issue.
kind regards

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.

Mail goes offline when computer sleeps.... can I prevent this

I searched and couldn't seem to find an answer for this. When my wife checks her mail in the morning after the computer sleepsshe gets the triangle with the exclamation point.
She will click go online and then she can check the mail.
It seems like when the computer sleeps it loses the internet connection and mail does not realize it has recconected when the computer is waked.
Doesn't do it with mine when but I use wireless.
Not sure if it is a router issue or not, and if so any idea how to fin it.
Thank you
Mike

Try this. Upon waking the computer from sleep. Wait about 20 seconds before doing any network activity like Mail or Safari. Then try it.
When a computer goes to sleep, to the rest of the world, it is the same as being turned off. It's Internet connection is disconnected. It takes a few seconds to re-establish the connection.

Everytime my computer goes to sleep it goes offline.
