Flex 10 waking from sleep issue with Windows 8.1

I installed Windows 8.1 but have an issue with waking the computer from sleep. Anyone else having the issue?
Solved!

It sounds like the GPU is failing to wake. Are you up-to-date with your Intel drivers? First check Lenovo's latest, and if that doesn't work, try the Intel drivers using the Intel Update Utility:

Waking from sleep issues

Hi, I have a 17" G-5 i-sight imac, running os 10.4.8, and have been having wake from sleep issues similar to what others have posted. These first showed up in late August. About 25 % of the time, when waking the computer from sleep the screen remains black, and after about 10 seconds the fan starts running at full speed, The only way to stop this is to hold in the power key until the computer shuts down, and then restart. What's interesting is that this only seems to happen using my apple wireless keyboard and mouse; when using a usb keyboard and mouse there is no problem. Could this be a bluetooth-related problem? The bluetooth settings are all correct (allow bluetooth device to wake computer, etc). The apple care guy basically said he didn't know how to help me, and it's driving me crazy! The only wired keyboard/mouse I have is from my 233 bondi blue imac, so just using that to avoid the problem is not a good option. Please help!

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.

HP Envy Laptop will not Wake up from Sleep Mode with Windows 10

The reason I decided to go back to windows 8 was because since upgrading to Windows 10, when my computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. I have to press and hold the power button to shut it done and restart. Even if I close my laptop, and reopen the lid, it wont start back up and I have to press and hold the power button and shut it down and restart. After trying to restore my HP Envy Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 8, it got stuck in a Repair PC Loop and I could not even access the desktop, I tried the restore option to an earlier date and that failed and all the repair options also failed. The last option I had was to do a full PC Refresh, and that one worked. It took about an hour but no data was lost, and only a few of my downloaded apps were removed. An html url was left on the desktop that showed a list of all the apps that were removed. So all I did was download those back and now im back up and running Windows 8. I want to re-download Windows 10, does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hello mistyb1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not waking up from Sleep Mode.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the printer connected to the wall outlet, please use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle. This will do a Semi power reset on the printer.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,

Shutdown and Sleep Issues with Windows 8.1

My Acer desktop with Windows 8.1 has trouble shutting down at times, and has trouble sleeping. Can someone help me resolve this issue? Please! Help needed!

My mistake. I'd installed version 1.5, the updated version 1.8 (specifically mentions windows 8.1 on download link) works perfectly.

U430 BIOS Update Procedure (fixes wake from sleep issue on Windows 8.1)

Hopefully this will make the BIOS update process a bit easier. The following steps address two common questions (Failed BIOS Update and the Windows message about improperly configured Secure Boot). NOTE: After a successful BIOS update you will want to check additional items in the BIOS not directly covered in the steps below (e.g. Intel Virtualization.... the update disabled this for me.)
U430 BIOS Update Procedure:
1. Download the BIOS update from Lenovo (it will be in .exe format... the program will install new BIOS).
2. Shut down computer.
3. Use the "Novo" button (tiny button on left side near Power button).
4. Enter BIOS setup.
5. Under "Security" select "Secure Boot" and choose "DISABLED" (this allows the BIOS update program to work properly).
6. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes".
7. Computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (it will have a message stating "Secure Boot not configured properly" this is expected).
8. Run the Lenovo BIOS program (this will reboot the computer and you should see an update status screen). Once finished, the computer will reboot. Log in to Windows (the "Secure Boot" message will still be there) and then turn the computer OFF (I've found that turning off the computer from the log-in screen doesn't completely shut down the computer. If that's the case then hold the Power button until it does shut down).
9. Use the "Novo" button and enter BIOS setup.
10. Under "Security" make sure "Secure Boot" is ENABLED.
11. Also under "Security" select "Restore Factory Keys" and hit Enter. Select "YES" (this step along with our previous step will make Windows happy).
12. Under "Exit" select "Exit Saving Changes" (computer reboots and all should be fine!)

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem should be caused by hardware driver problem. Such as Graphic driver, NIC driver, etc. Please check computer driver edition, make sure they are compatibility with Windows 8.1.
Actually, I made a search on Acer official site, the model of your computer doesn't have all hardware driver provided for Windows 8.1. Such as Graphic driver. You can refer to the link below for more details.
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
In my opinion, it would be better to contact ACER, to check whether this serial computer had the same problem with yours.

Anyonr else experience wake from sleep issues with early 2009 mini?

I have my early 09 mini attached to a 22" Samsung monitor vis the mini dvi-dvi adapter. This morning i went to wake the monitor and it responded right away normally but then went black. I tried to wake it again i got a screen that was just noise. Like the photoshop noise filter. It required me to hit the power button on the monitor and then it cleared up.

I would like to share that I also have experienced display problems with my Mini. My problem was that when my mini would put my monitor into power save mode, the screen would display a noisy picture when returning out of power save. Sometimes it would clear up on its own quickly while other times the problem would persist until I put the mini fully into sleep mode and then wake it up again. I have since taken my monitor and mini to the Apple store where the Genius Bar examined the problem and gave me a new Mini. The new one is still sealed and sitting in my office. I'm skeptical that it will perform any better. I know for a fact that my monitor is in good working order because it is currently running on another PC and has never shown signs of being faulty. For the record, the LCD I own is a 25.5 inch Asus monitor connected to the mini using the mini-dvi to dvi adapter. At the apple store they tried the mini-display port to dvi adapter and the same problem occurred. I'm really hoping that the display issues can be fixed with a software update. I've read on a number of forums that mini owners have complained about the noisy picture when coming out of power save mode. It's clearly a common problem and I would have to assume that Apple is aware of it by now.

Macbook Air 2014 Black Screen w cursor after waking from sleep.

I just purchased a brand new macbook air this past week. I noticed within the first day of using that if my machine went into sleep mode, and I hit a key to take it out of sleep mode, it would go to a black screen with my cursor for about 30 seconds.
It does not do it every time but enough that it is annoying. I am coming from a mid 2011 mac air that did not have any issues. (only replaced for all day battery)
Do you think this a hardware or software issue? If i swap this mac out do you think I will just encounter the same thing?
I have read numerous posts regarding waking from sleep issues but they all seem to be affecting MacBooks purchased between 2012 and 2013.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Nick

UPDATE:
I called apple tech support and after talking a bit decided best course of action was to replace the macbook air as I was inside my 14 day buyers remorse.
I came home and hoped all was well when this one began doing the same thing. I made an appt with the genius bar to dive further in to this and we did a complete wipe on the computer and reinstalled the OS. The "genius" said I'm probably bringing something over from my previous mac air. (even though it never had this issue).
So after completely reinstalling the OS and setting up my macbook as new I pretty much lost all my settings and what not accumulated after 3 years with my previous mac. They did use Time Machine to at least bring my iPhoto library over and iTunes music.
It has been exactly one day since this was completed and the computer is doing the exact same thing. ***!!!

Having window location issues when waking from sleep

Since upgrading to Mavericks, sometimes when my Mini wakes from sleep the application windows are located off screen. At first I would quit and reopen most of the applications affected (especially FileMaker), but I find I can bring the windows back within view by going to Displays in System Preferences, changing the rotation, then cancelling after the redraw. My monitor is a BenQ GW2450H, but it doesn't seem like this is a monitor issue (no problems in System 10.7).

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion issues after waking from sleep.

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion has the spinning beach ball of death after waking from sleep a few times. Anyone else seeing this? A fresh boot is very quick, but waking from sleep lags at times. Then after a few times the spinning beachball of death appears and nothing is responsive making me reboot the machine.

I've been suffering from this too, and am currently trying this:

Seems to be tied to this 'Power Nap' feature. I tuned it for 12 hours instead of 24.

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
Cheers,
James
nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

Waking from sleep only brings up blank screen with cursor

I have the MacBook Pro retina 11,3 (released October 2013). As the title suggests I am having issues with my Mac not giving me a log in screen when waking from sleep. It seems to happen when I don't close the clamshell and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up from that the result it s backlit black screen with a cursor. I can click, hit the keys on the keyboard but absolute nothing happens. I close the clamshell and open it but they screen seems to not turn they backight off and so reopening it still leaves me with the same screen. Usually the log in screen to type my password will reappear within 20-60 seconds after and I am able to type my password and everything works as normal.
This his problem has been around since Mavericks for me. I figured I would wait for Yosemite to see if it gets fixed but it still is an issue. This problem is persistent even after compleat reinstalls, even without transferring any data over to the new install.
I believe there is something to do with the discreet graphics card inside the MacBook Pro. I have a friend who also has the retina model of the same year with the graphics card and has the same issues. It is a Nvidia GT 750M.
Anyone know of a solution to this issues?

Quit All applications.
Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the menu bar.
Select Library.
Look for "Caches" folder, right click it and move it to trash.
Restart.

Waking from sleep with no battery and no keyboard action

Hi there,
Since this unfortunate battery recall, I'm now running my PB with no battery (as recommended) i.e. just the power supply. I have my PB configured to prompt for a password when waking from sleep, which it does. However my keyboard does not appear to be responsive for several seconds.
Here are my steps:
1. Close the lid. PB goes to sleep.
2. Open the lid. PB wakes up and prompts me for my password.
The mouse cursor via the trackpad is responsive immediately. However attemping to type in the password field does not yield anything. The PB then automatically goes back to sleep. I can then wake it again with the keyboard and start typing.
The really weird thing is that with the battery installed, I do not have this keyboard issue i.e. my keyboard input is accepted immediately on the first wake up.
I have reset PRAM but to no avail. Any ideas? I'd rather not live with this behaviour while I'm waiting for my new battery.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi Chris,
You will be pleased to know your not the only one experiencing this issue. Like yourself I am now running my Powerbook without the battery and have noticed that when waking from sleep both my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for several seconds.
This also happened to my friends 867Mhz Powerbook when he was having battery problems. It would seem they just dont like being run without batteries installed.

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.

EMac having issues waking from sleep

I used to own a 1 gig eMac. I never had an issue with it, now that I have sold it however, it's having this issue waking from sleep. The only way to get it back is to power it down by holding the power button.
When I had it, I had Panther running on it's main drive and Tiger running on a firewire drive. Regardless though, I can't see that being the issue (well I guess I can ... I don't want to believe it, but I guess I can). Now it's running Tiger on the 80 gig main drive. When he goes to wake it, the drive spins up but the screen stays dark, but if he holds the power button down it works fine. Go figure?
Has anybody else had this issue. All of the software updates were and have been done since. Though I don't recall exactly which version of Tiger he's on but I know he's on the most recent. Any input will be greatly appreciated of course.
I don't know that the Apple Hardware Test would indicate if a hard drive was about to fail either would it?
Regards
Mike

I think what that post was trying to express is that there's often a lag between the release of new Mac hardware and the release of retail OS X Install discs that incorporate all the new drivers that go with the new hardware. That is, if you have a retail OS X disc that was pressed in January, it likely will give poor results if you use it to restore a Mac released in September. If you look at the Software section of System Profiler, after the OS X numerical version you'll find a build number in parentheses; "Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167)", say. While you almost always hear the "don't use an earlier version of the OS on your new Mac" warning expressed in terms of the numerical OS X version, it's really the build number that matters. It's safe to say that you can use a retail OS X install disc on a Mac that predates the release of that OS X disc.
Since the 1.0 GHz eMac shipped with Panther 10.3, any retail 10.4 disc will work with it. So on one hand, good news: your buyer doesn't face the fun of doing a reinstall of the OS, but bad news, that leaves the question of why it isn't waking from sleep.
There could be a remote chance that the wireless mouse is involved, although it's unlikely and I've never had such problems with any of the Logitech mice I've used through the years. If you have the LCC (Logitech Control Center) software installed (it'll show up in System Preferences -> Other when using View by Categories) from the CD that came with the mice, you can compare it with the current version 2.6 and possibly upgrade. I'd also check that the mouse's battery is fresh.
You might get a better clue as to what's going on by opening Applications -> Utilities -> Console, select system.log, and look for events timestamped around the time the eMac was put to sleep and again at the it was attempted to wake it. You might find something like:
AFPSleepWakeHandler: going to sleep
System Sleep
Enabling XMM register save/restore and SSE/SSE2 opcodes
Followed, upon waking the computer, by:
Started CPU 01
IOBluetoothHCIController::restartShutdownWL this is a wake from sleep
System Wake
USB caused wake event (EHCI)
AppleYukon2 - en0 link active, 100-Mbit, full duplex, flow control disabled port 0
kernel[0]: AFPSleepWakeHandler: waking up

configd[67]: posting notification com.apple.system.config.network_change
lookupd[2678]: lookupd (version 369.6) starting - Wed Aug 20 08:06:57 2008
Some of the calls will depend on whether the Mac is on a network, managed remotely, etc. What you want to look for are any errors or suspicious messages close to the AFPSleepWakeHandler call, around either the System Sleep or System Wake lines.
