Fixed: Screens completely blank when waking from sleep.

Setup: I am connected to two 24" displays (one an HP and one a Dell). Both are at the same resolution (their max) which happens to be the suggested resolution according to OS X. Both are connected via the displays' respective HDMI ports with one (the Dell) obviously connected to the Mac mini's MiniDisplay port via an adapter (cannot remember if third party or offical Apple version) and one (the HP) connected to the Mac mini's HDMI port. The Mac mini is a mid-2010 [2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (P8600)] with 8GB of RAM.
Problem: Since upgrading to Mavericks (completely clean install after wiping drive), my screens would go on but were completely black whenever waking my Mac mini from sleep. Fortunately, I tried typing in my password even though I could see nothing and, voila, I could once again see my desktop. For several months, this method acted as my temporary fix.
Long-term Solution: In Displays in System Preferences, there were two display icons depicted: one with a menubar at the top and one without which denote which is the main display (the HP is on the left and was the one designated as the main display). I dragged the icon for the main display to the opposite side of the display depicted without a menubar, thus changing which display (from HP to Dell) is the main display.
Now, whenever I wake the Mac mini from sleep, I not only can see the login window but also the login window desktop art behind it versus two monitors that are on with nothing but dark, black screens.
Observation: I find it fascinating that the Dell, that is hooked to the Mac mini via a HDMI to MiniDisplay port adapter, being made the main display fixed the solution unless there is some favoritisim written into the OS that makes the MiniDisplay port always trump the HDMI port on the Mac mini. There may be some credence to this theory as, whenever I wake the Mac mini, the login window is always on the HP even though the Dell is now the "main display" accrodign to the Display panel in System Preferences.
Hopefully, others will benefit from sharing my experience.

MAJOR AMENDMENT TO THE POST ABOVE: Please disregard the suggestion to switch sides for the main display by dragging the designated main display to the opposite side of the other display using the Display panel in System Preferences. Instead, again in System Preferences' Display panel, simply drag the what looks to be the menu bar from one monitor to the other as in previous versions of OS X; this avoids the problem of having to unintuitively drag the mouse away from the monitor that you are actually trying to drag it toward. I initially tried to use this method but for some reason I was unable and thought that, perhaps due to the introduction of menubars now being accessible on both displays in Mavericks, that there was some sort of smart voodoo going on in Mavericks and that it would not be an issue.
When I realized it was indeed an issue (but unfortuantely after posting my findings earlier today above), I went back and tried again and this time was successful in dragging only the menubar in Display preferences from one monitor's icon to the other. I also switched the display placement so that, when I drag the mouse between screens, it makes sense again.
I then put the Mac mini to sleep again. When I woke it from sleep, I noticed that the login window had switched screens and thus blows my hypothesis that there is an OS level preference for the MiniDisplay port over the HDMI port on the Mac mini. More importantly, I still can actually see the login window to know that I am typing somewhere that will restore access to the desktop.
Apolgoies for any confusion and hope this fix assists someone who is worried that they are potentially locked out of their Mac.

Pavilion Slimline s7700e Display brightens but is blank when waking from sleep.

When the computer wakes from sleep it seems to come up normally but the screen doesn't work. It brightens and there is a line across the top of the screen but it doesn't show anything. If I shut the computer down by holding the power button in and start it up again everything comes up normally.
I have recently assumed care of this computer. In investigating this problem I found that the computer had never been updated. Have since installed all Vista updates. Went to HP site and installed updates (including BIOS), changed power options and am still having the problem.
Do not know what else to do.
Would appreciate any ideas.
Thank you

Hello BrotherLouis,
Welcome to the Forums!
I saw your post about the monitor on your HP Pavilion Slimline s7700e CTO Desktop PC showing a line across the top of the screen when it wakes up from sleep mode. I am going to recommend looking at the troubleshooting guides I have located for you below. The first link is specific to your exact issue and the second is covering all Display Quality Issues for the monitor.

Monitor Blanks in and Out When Waking From Sleep

Since getting my Mac Pro (with Apple installed RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT), I've noticed that the screen does not immediately turn on when waking from sleep, as my older Macs did. Rather, it turns on for a split second, goes blank for two seconds, turns on again for a split second, goes off again for a second or more, and then comes on permanently.
This behavior only occurs when waking from sleep; it does not occur when the monitor turns on from the active screen saver.
Is this normal for the MAC Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT? I have a HP w2408h monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable. Everything else works fine, including all video behavior.
Thank you.

Hm. Bluetooth, interesting. Thanks for the idea.
I just opened the lid to see about the BT setting and the display didn't go off-on. The BT is off, I'm pretty sure I did that when setting it up as I don't use BT for anything.
I wasn't suspecting anything was seriously wrong, it's just that quick-on feature was highlighted as a selling point and I was curious about the glitch, if it was a setting I could change, for instance like you've highlighted. Annoying when things don't work as advertised.
And if I show the machine off to colleagues and friends, that will be a bad first impression they will want explained.

When waking from "sleep" screen turns grey under the pointer and the computer is effectively dead. Have to hold power 'off' for five seconds to regain computer.

When waking from "sleep" the screen appears normal but, the pointer leaves a trail of grey as it moves and the whole screen will turn grey if I keep moving the pointer. The computer is effectively dead. Have to shut down by using power off for six seconds and then re-starting. I know little about computers!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
Here are some things to try.
1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

Detect display when waking from sleep?

Is there any way to force the display detection when waking from sleep? I find that if the mini wakes before the monitor is on, i get a blank screen. When the monitor is on before waking, everything is normal.
I have the DVI-Detective, and the problem is actually worse when using it -- nothing is detected when waking up, no matter if the display is on or not.
My specs:
OS 10.5
C2D, 2Ghz - 2GB RAM
Sharp Aquos 52inch
All standard HD resolutions work fine - it's just now a matter if figuring out how to force the mini to detect the display...
Surely there must be a way to do this?

Great that you got it working. It seems what is happening when the TV is switched off is that the Mac can no longer see the EDID data. Basically, it's the same as if a hot-unplug event had occurred from OS X's perspective. The mini thinks the TV's video cable has been unplugged, so it thinks it is running headless, which of course it is not. And for some reason not completely clear to me, when the TV's power is restored, a hot-replug event is not triggered and the mini still thinks it's running headless. Maybe you are right that it is removed from the list of connected devices for good. But it isn't supposed to work like that.
The DVI Detective is the right tool for the job in cases like this, so it's good you have one and it's good you got it working. I agree it would be nice if there was more override control within OS X for times like this when things go wrong. But if more TV and 2nd/3rd tier monitor makers paid more attention to computer plug-and-play, then these things would work right in the first place. Your TV is in violation of the plug-and-play standard because the standard calls for the host (Mac mini in this case) to be able to power the ROM and I2C bus within the TV even if the TV is in a powered down state. Clearly your TV isn't doing this.

Keychain is read-only when waking from sleep

So, when waking from sleep my keychain becomes read-only and I'm forced to restart since many of the applications I tend to use (itunes, safari, skype. messages and disk utility) start giving me error messages or are unresponsive. I've tried repairing the keychain, deleting and creating a new keychain, reinstalling the OS (10.8), resetting the ACLs using the recovery partition, repairing permissions using the recovery partition. The only thing I haven't tried is wiping out the drive and installing the OS anew which I would like to avoid . I am on a 2010 13" macbook pro using 10.8.3. I don't think it started after an update. I did recently install a new hard drive since the previous hard drive died. I used time machine to restore my apps and user account. Advice anyone? Thanks

Hello-
Well I spoke to soon. The problem started a few weeks later. Since then I have installed the OS on to a new hard drive. I did import my user account from a time machine backup but did not import the Apps and System settings. I created a new account and moved my media and documents from my old account to the new account. I then deleted the old account. After all that I am still getting the read-only problem with Keychain. It now happens while I am using my laptop, not just when it wakes from sleep. As I mentioned before the issue is intermittent, about once or twice a week. The last occurrence happened a few minutes after I booted up. I have pasted the log below. I have taken it in to Apple and they ran a check-up and everything came back ok. I'm concerned because my apple care ends in about a week. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Computer Name changes when waking from sleep

Hi,
I'm running OS X Lion Server on a Mac Mini 2ghz Core 2 Duo and every time it wakes from sleep I get a message saying "There is already a computer on the network named MacServer, renaming to MacServer (2)".
It only happens when waking from sleep. If I reboot or use the mini for hours without sleeping it's fine, but once it's gone to sleep it renames on wake. When it sleeps overnight it's named MacServer (5) by the morning, as it wakes up every two hours or so to re-register itself on the network and each time it renames itself.
I don't have any other compters on the network with the same name. The only other computer is a MBP and has a completly different name.
Here's my setup;
My Mac Mini is wired via ethernet to a Time Capsule. AirPort is turned off (I've tried on and off).
My Mac Mini has a static IP address (x.x.x.40) with DHCP for everything else (DNS, etc.)
The Time Capsule is wired to an ADSL router via ethernet.
The ADSL router manages DHCP and NAT, with IP pool x.x.x.2 through x.x.x.30.
DHCP and NAT are turned off on the Time Capsule (bridged mode).
Wireless is turned off on the ADSL router.
Time Capsule is handling wireless.
I've tried resetting the ADSL router. I've tried resetting the Time Capsule (to factory defaults).
The problem seems to be with mDNSResponder, as the log seems to suggest that it is this daemon that thinks there's a duplicate computer name. I've even looked at the source code for mDNSResponder and the last mod-log entry suggests that a fix was put in for this issue in 2009. It doesn't look like it's fixed it, though.
I've tried doing a fresh install of OS Server several times now and, after the last install, it started happening before I got a chance to restore from a Time Machine backup. i.e. on a completly fresh install and assigning a completely new computer name.
Can anyone help me on this issue? It's driving me insane!

I switched the server's WI-FI off and connected the ethernet cable to the ADSL router instead of the Time Capsule and, after several reboots, sleeps and wakes, there was no change to the server name. The Time Capsule was still switched on, connected to the ADSL router via ethernet, and available on the network, however the server rename issue went away.
I then took the ethernet cable out of the ADSL router, plugged it back into the Time Capssule, put it to sleep, woke it up, and guess what? That right; 'The name of your computer "safserver" is already...renamed to "safserver (2)"'
So, it looks like it's the Time Capsule. I'm going to downgrade the firmware from 7.6.1 to 7.6.0 to see if the last update is responsible. If this doesn't cure it, I'll try older firmwares and, if none of them work it's time for a Genius appointment.
(I khow another obvious question lurks: "why not leave it plugged into the ADSL router?" Answer: "ADSL router doesn't supply Gigabit ethernet.")

Screen appears dimmer after waking from sleep

Hi
Recently, I've noticed the brightness of the 24" screen is dimmer after waking from sleep, regardless of the brightness setting in the Display preferences. If I restart the computer, the regular brightness returns. Curious if anyone else is seeing this happen on their Aluminum iMac?

This is normal. As already stated, after waking from Sleep, your screen gradually intensifies brightness until it reaches its full brightness setting. Sort of how GE Soft White Bulbs take a couple of minutes to warm up to achieve their final Lumens.
The reason it's instantly Bright upon Restart is that the machine goes through an initialization upon bootup where it performs a complete system check and ensures all settings are initialized and set according to your preferences. When Sleep is enabled (something I RARELY ever do) the machine lowers all operational parameters and upon waking, it slowly gets back up to speed.
Just like how putting drives to sleep causes severe lag once woken up before you can perform all functions at full speed.
Activating your screen saver is the best option.

Mac Pro restarts when waking from sleep

Hi everyone.
I just got a brand new Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz), and had Apple upgrade the RAM to 2GB (4 x 512MB). My first problem is that the computer always restarts when waking from sleep, which is annoying! I have reset the SMC by unplugging the machine for a minite, but the problem persists. I have also tried sleeping the computer with nothing plugged in except the monitor and keyboard/mouse, but I get the same problem. All software/firmware is fully up to date.
I have also just noticed that the System Profiler states that there is only 1GB RAM in the computer, even though I am sure that it recognised 2GB when I got the machine a fortnight ago (I even have a screen shot of 'about this mac' to prove it!). Can anybody help, or do I need to phone Apple support?
Thanks,
Matthew

I have a similar problem - hard restart when closing the lid to put it to sleep. It looks like there is a bluetooth issue(?), but I'm not sure what to do with it. We don't have any blue tooth devices in our house. From the console log:

Missing sound + missing USB power (sometimes) from Thunderbolt Display when waking from sleep

Hi
Two problems - one of which is driving med crazy!!
Have the latest updates, and the display is connected to a MBA (mid 2011).
The two are almost alwayes connected, and every time I wake the MBA from sleep, the Thunderbold Display does not "support usb sound" - the sound options are only MBA and headphones. Only a restart will give me the option to use Thunderbolt as sound output: WHAT TO DO!?!?!!
Sometimes when waking from sleep the USB in the Display seems to be "off" - the will not charge my devices (iPhone, iPad etc.). Only reboot seems to fix this... I have seen this in other discussions but not found a permanent solution - any thoughts?

Same here but reinstalling OSX is a bit drastic. I solved the problem by deleting a preference.
Go to Macintosh HD then System then Library then Preference panes then Sound.prefPane
Delete Sound.prefPane (you need to type your password).
Logout or restart.
This has happend twice this week so WHY is this suddenly occurring?
Hi,
I found this solution in the forum, but I can't find it again. I had cut and pasted it into a text file, because it solved my problem. I just don't want to take any credit for it. It did work for me. I had no problems for 3-4 weeks with the monitor, I have had the sound problem since last Friday. Very frustrating.

Desktop Wallpaper Screensaver Bug? [When waking from sleep]

I'm not sure if this topic is in the correct category but it seems to fit.
I have a new 15.4" MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.3. I have multiple images that I want as a wallpaper and so I decided to select "Change picture" in the preferences pane. I also selected "Random order" and chose "When waking from sleep" as the time for the wallpaper to change.
However, if I close my lid, and then re-open it, when the computer wakes up, instead of the wallpaper changing, it changes twice.
Now, this isn't really a problem but it can get annoying sometimes and I was wondering if this problem is due to something I do, rather than the operating system.
Thanks.

I just noticed something, perhaps this will help? There appear to be two kinds of sleep, display sleep and computer sleep. I noticed that if my machine is running (playing music, for instance) and the display goes to sleep, when I use the mouse to wake up the screen the background changes. So maybe when I wake up the machine from computer sleep it changes once for waking from computer sleep, and once more for waking from display sleep?

IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5) All updates via Software Update
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

Kernel panic when waking from sleep

My eMac (1Ghz, 256 Mb RAM, dual boot OS 9.2.2/OS X 10.2.8(upgraded from 10.2.4)) has a recurring but intermittent issue where it suffers from a kernel panic when waking from sleep.
In the past I managed to fix the issue by resetting PRAM and NVRAM, but this doesn't seem to work anymore.
Things I've found out until now:
- Apple Hardware Test and Techtool Deluxe can't find anything wrong (all tests are passed).
- No kernel panic log is written - apparently the kernel panic occurs before the log can be written.
- Crash appears to be network-related. My IP address and network card address are shown at the bottom of the panic window.
- After restarting, Finder windows revert to a state from two or three days ago...
- Login items aren't the problem. I removed them all - this doesn't make any difference.
- no weird things in the startup items folders, AFAIK.
I'm on the verge of reinstalling OS X, but I think I already did this a couple of years ago, and it didn't help.
Please help.

Nominally, you'd download the OS X Update Combo 10.2.8 after reinstalling 10.2.4, then use Software Update to identify any additional security and other software updates. There was an issue with early builds of 10.2 failing the 10.2.8 udate if done directly, but working fine if one first updated to an intermediate version such as 10.2.6; I think that problem affected 10.2 through 10.2.3 and your 10.2.4 should be good to go directly to 10.2.8, but if there are any problems, you can go back to 10.2.4, then search the Apple Downloads link for 10.2.6, then 10.2.8
With 10.2.x, it's prudent to run Repair Permissions after each OS and security update before moving on to the next.

Spinning ball when waking from sleep

I'm running Leopard (10.5.7) on a PPC and over the last 2 days it's been freezing when waking from sleep.
On waking cursor moves, and Spaces works but as I click on each open application they lock up. iStat also freezes.
The panic log has a reference to com.apple.iokit.IOATAFamily - does this point to hard drive issue??

In an attempt to fix the problem I booted from the Leopard Install Disc.
The machine has 1 HD installed that's partitioned in 2 - OS on one volume, data on the other.
In Disk Utility the boot volume's name is disk0s10 rather that the name I gave it (the other volume name is OK). Could this have anything to do with the problem?

Fixed: Screens completely blank when waking from sleep.
