Expose "hot corners" not working from sleep

Hi, I have a MB CD2 running Leopard, when it wakes from sleep very often the hotcorner feature of Expose stops working, the only way to get it back is a re-start. The keyboard short cuts still work OK.
Any ideas on a fix?

I have a similar problem, but it's linked to programs crashing. Any time I get an app crash, and have the dialogue box that asks if I want to report the crash, the Expose corners quit working. Keys work fine, but to get Expose working again, I have to log into another account and go back. :/
It seems to have happened after removing a monitor while the laptop was sleeping this time (which caused the system to prompt me for my password twice when waking).
It's very weird...

Bluetooth mouse not working from sleep

Have had this problem a couple of time's nothing major but annoying when i have woken the comp up from sleep or restarted the mouse will work as a pointer only clicking is not recognized only way to to it working is to turn mouse off and on

HI Karl,
When you wake you Mac from sleep mode, it can take about 5 seconds for the system to recognize any wireless devices. Just move the mouse around slowly on the mouse pad for a second or two.
Also, in System Preferences/Keyboard&Mouse/Bluetooth. Select this box;
Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.

Hot Corners not working after using Call of Duty 4

So I have noticed that Hot Corners are not working after i use COD4.
I know that the game uses different resolution and somehow interupts the hot corner software. Buty why and how I dont know.
I very often close COD4 by using Cmd+Q (or something like that)... But it doesnt matter if I quit it the "real" way. Hot corners still stops working after I use it.
Hot corners works again if I reboot my iMac and also if I have used COD4 then go to System Preferences and Hot Corneres and make one change there.. then it magically works again.
Does anyone have any definate solution for this.
PS: I have an iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB 1067 MHz RAM and Lion 10.7.3.
I also have a Macbook Pro with the same problem.... and both computers running Lion OSX and are always updated....
Peace

Does your 8600M GT have 128 or 256MB VRAM? Both versions shipped with that model MBP. The game sysreqs says that, while 128 is minimum, 256 is preferred. We all know what "minimum" means in software advertising.
Have you downloaded the SL Graphics updater?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1083
It's supposed to fix certain games but it's worth a shot.
I'm surprised that the temp doesn't change. Even running the COD2 demo on my Late 2007 2.2G with 2G RAM and the 128MB version of the 8600, temps go up to 160-170F. That was under 10.5. Just upgraded to 10.6 Sunday, so I guess I should check COD2 again, because SL seems to run cooler on my MBP.

Hot Corners Not Working

I used the Screen Saver window to setup Sleep Display in the upper left corner and clicked OK. Tested it - but would work. I do not have any add on programs.
Thanks, Bob61

Sometimes the Mouse Prefs causes expose to break. It did for mine. You could:
1. Trash the plist in /Library/Preferences that has mouse as part of the filename. I can't find it now but everything works fine for me again. If you want to be a bit more careful, drag it to the Desktop. Then type killall Dock in Terminal
2. Sometimes, unplugging the mouse or disconnecting it for BT mice and rebooting before reconnecting works too

Hot Sync not working from Desktop to handheld

My Palm Zire m150 broke. So I bought a 'slightly used' one from EBay. BIG mistake. I have been using the Palm for the past 5 years without any issues, hence, my reasoning for purchasing another one.
At any rate, I cannot get the information on my desktop calendar to sync into the handheld. The defaults are set to 'desktop overrides handheld' and nothing.
Please help! Also, the handheld restarts itself after each Sync???
Also, if anyone could recommend an upgrade, which I can transfer my information calendar, address, etc, easily, I would greatly appreciate it. I will be purchasing something else. All these wasted hours are just not worth saving a few dollars.
Thank you in advance for your time and efforts.

In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Not detected

In 5s, personal hot spot does not work from time to time. Iphone does not get detected on Wi-fi or bluetooth. Restarting or rebooting does not help.

Settings, general, reset and reset network settings. Clear out your network settings and set personal hotspot again.
also avoid special characters making a password. hashtags or open brackets for example doesn't work too good.

Expose Hot Corners Broken

My Expose stopped working today, and itz annoying, as I use it a lot to see my other windows and spaces. Tried the killall Dock in terminal, and the dock did reboot, but, did not help Expose, same issue. I fully reninstalled my OS 10.5 last week, have no add on screen savers or utilities or anti virus. How can I trash the expose plist, can not find in the prefs folder?? Or if you have a better idea on how to get the hot corners to work again, let me know. thanks.

Thanks for the advise everyone. Here is the result and solution after sitting at the Genius bar; and I have to say, I know better, I should have done this before hauling my iMac 15 miles to the Genius bar.
The issue come down to a perif device taking up my processor time, preventing the instant items from working, like Expose, the dock magnification and dock icon names, popups in Netflix; all were suspended processes while the perif device held up both of my processors.
I have three perifs, a Cannon printer-installed a month ago, a fantom 500gb hard drive used with time machine and installed 5 months ago, and a logitech wireless mouse, all through a USB hub. This issue started about a month ago, can you guess which one is the problem? So, I love my Cannon, it is my second one, I came home, unplugged the USB cable to it, rebooted, and the issue has stopped. The genius bar said they had heard of one different printer causing such an issue, and he explained the bundles and all to me so that I would understand, but, this is NOT a usual event. I noticed yesterday, there is an update to my Cannon print driver bundle, i installed it, but, have not dared to plug the USB cable back in. I will only when I need to print. Like I said, I know better, and should have tested my perifs long before going to the apple store, I will blame my failure on old age, ;

Hot Corners Stopped Working

Strange, up until yesterday my hot corners were so sensitive I was constantly activating them accidentally; now they are not activating at all.
System Prefs>Desktop & Screensaver>Hot Corners is not doing it for me! Reboot?

Hi David!
That sounds really strange. Can you think of anything you might have done/changed on you mac before the hot corners stopped working? Any new applications installed, for example?
Maybe a resart might work, if you haven't done that already. Also, try using Disk Utility (found in HD>Applications>Utilities) to "Verify Disk Permissions" and "Repair Disk Permissions" on your Hard Drive. That might sort out any little bugs which might be stopping your hot corners from working.
I take it, that your 'Hot Corners' Preferences are properly set to what you want? What ahppens if you put them back to "Nothing", restart and then put them onto what ever triggers you want?
I hope that helps!

Getting Hot Corners to work with Captivate 6 Recording

I've been having trouble getting hot corners to work when I'm using Captivate 6 for desktop recordings. I've tried telling the program to record a custom resolution that is slightly smaller than the screen size to see if that would help, but neither that or full screen recording fixes it. When I mouse into the corners during a captivate recording nothing shows up, but if its not recording they work fine. Any thoughts?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums
Do you have Windows or MAC ?
Did you try a different user account on your computer for recording ?
Which recording option are you choosing ? (Video Demo, Automatic Recording or Manual Recording)
Could you upload some sceenshots to elaborte your issue ?
Thanks,
Vikram

IPhone 1.1.4 will not wake from sleep mode

Hi all,
I have an iPhone with 1.1.4 firmware. The problem that I have is that the phone will not wake from sleep mode by pressing the "home" button. I have to press both the "home" and "sleep/power" buttons and hold them for 6 seconds for the phone to restart. I did restore the phone twice - did not solve the problem. Then, one day, I left it charging for about 3 days and when I came back it started working fine. Not for long though( After about a week of normal usage the wake up problem came back. I don't know what to do. I don't think it's the software problem, since I did complete restoration 2 times.
If the phone is connected to a charger or computer - it wakes up fine.
Thanks, Gene K

rimini,
When you've restored the iPhone, have you tried setting it up as a new phone? This would truly eliminate software as a possibility.
If setting it up as a new phone doesn't correct the issue, it's probably time for service: apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
Hope this helps,

Will not wake from sleep mode

When I close then open the lid on my MacBook, it will not wake up from sleep mode. I have to reboot by holding down the power button for 10 sec. When it restarts, it takes a long time to get past the gray screen with the apple logo. I also have this same problem when it goes into sleep mode, when left idle. I have since changed the settings so it will not go into sleep mode when idle in system preferences. I have reset PRAM and SMC, but the problem still persists.

I have the same problem, intermittently. I think it has something to do with full-screen mode, which I use intermittently. Have you noticed this happening only when you are in a full-screen app?
I also have a MacBook Pro from 2011, and I know for sure my MagSafe power adapter is fine and not part of the problem.
I have noticed a few things that may be hints at what is happening:
one time, (all??) while my screen was basking in the glow of sunlight from the side, I saw that the screen pixels were indeed "on", that the back-light of the screen was just off.
Which led me to the conclusion that my MacBook Pro was indeed waking from sleep, the screen was just not lighting up.
But that theory was disproved this morning, when when waking from sleep, the screen was black, except for my cursor. My cursor was completely visible on a black background. Huh?? It was like some software was putting up a black modal dialog over the whole screen. Also, the Apple Logo on the back of the laptop screen was fully lit -- meaning the backlight was on. The machine was awake (curson moving on a black background), and the screen was fully back-lit.
I'm not sure yet how consistent this behavior is... I will take more careful notes each time this problem happens in the future... But, it looks like I have rogue software that is trying to make my machine look like it is sleeping.
To "capture" the culprit I think I could set up a hot-key command that takes a snapshot of all running processes in Activity Monitor. This could show what processes are running when "waking" from sleep. nabbing the culprit?
I use Snapz Pro. That is non-standard software running with control over screen functions. Maybe Snapz Pro has a problem? I doubt it, but maybe, because it has hooks into background tasks with video. Snapz Pro is my only 32-bit process. Could Snapz Pro be the cause? I use Snapz Pro all the time.
The problem seems to be related to Full-Screen mode. Could it be possible that full-screen apps sometimes have problems returning from sleep? I know there are viewControllers responsible for handling events when waking. Could the symptoms of not waking from sleep be caused by bugs in full-screen apps?
