  • Sleep crash causes loss of firewire

    I have been reading many topics on this forum concerning sleep related problems with the intel 24" imac. I find it difficult to put the computer to sleep manually, although it will sleep according to the power saver prefs.
    My imac is only 4 weeks old, and almost daily will lock up when trying to wake it from sleep. Pressing power button will turn it off, and when rebooted, my firewire ports are not working. this can be verified by looking in system profiler on the firewire tab which does not list maximum speed available for fire wire which it would do normally normally.
    Resetting the SMC will bring the firewire ports back, but I leave the power cable unplugged overnight, and by the morning restart all seems to be fine, until next time it locks up from sleep.
    I have installed the firmware update successfully, but it has not helped with this problem.
    I would be interested to hear of anyone else with missing fire wire ports, and if there is a fix , or do we have to wait for apple to come up with a fix. I am reluctant to take my machine to the dealer for repair, as I need it daily, and I feel it may be a firmware/software fix. Calls to the Apple support line didn't shed any light on the problem.
    Thanks for reading, hope to get some answers.
    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   2GB RAM

    Hi Paul
    Before taking it back to the store I know it's a pain but it would be worth doing a clean reinstall of the OS and an update to 10.4.8 using the Combo update. Don't forget to backup your data.
    You don't need to do anything but the basics i:e don't transfer data back from your backup etc just get it to operate with 1 admin user account - simple stuff
    Then test it for sleep and waking etc. as before with nothing connected. If its OK then reload / connect things one at a time, if not you have done as much as you can and you can tell the store that.
    I was a hardware techie in one former life before Apple Computer Inc came into being and this could be a case of the Firmware device not working to spec or even as simple as a faulty solder joint on the mother board. For either of these they should replace the motherboard but I would push for a replacement machine, reading similar posts that's what other folks have got.
    I had a G3 iMac motherboard fail just out of the 3yr AppleCare period and that cost me big money so don't put up with it.
    Keep me posted I will keep this subscription open

  • Sleep Light Application

    I just came across the iMac G5 Sleep Light Application in my Utility folder. I thought the update took care of everything. Do I still need this? Why?

    Hello Donald:
    Here is the only knowledge base article I have found on the issue:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302039
    I have one G5 (a very early one). When I ran the software update (I run it manually and then decide when and if I should install updates), the "sleep light" updater was in the list. Since my G5 is not in a sleeping area, I decided to ignore this particular update and did not download it. I set the updater to ignore this update. This is a windy way of saying I did not apply the update and it is not in my G5 anywhere.
    At least some firmware updaters require you to install it and then restart your computer. When I installed a Bluetooth firmware update, I had to click on the updater icon and then restart afterward.
    I hope this windy post helps. I am always cautious when I install firmware updates as they update more than software:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93772
    You might wish to search in this forum on "sleep light" to see if other posters have information that might be helpful.

  • Mac mini wont sleep

    Hey, just recently, when I tried to put my Mac to sleep, my iTunes locked up and wouldnt sleep. I closed iTunes, this time, before I tried to put the mini to sleep, but now another app locks up and doesnt sleep. Also, after my screen goes into standby by itself, when I try to rewake the monitor after several hours of inactivity, the light on the mini shows that it is infact on and such, but the monitor never responds (stays black), therefore it has somen to do with my Mac. Any advice?
    Thanks!

    there is a lot on this forum regarding sleep problems. search away...
    with apps freezing you may have other problems. for starters try booting with your system disc, find "disk utility", run "repair disk" and "repair disk permissions".

  • Mac mini wont sleep..neither will my powermac g4?

    Okay, so i have a new mac mini, a 1.83 dual core intel processor with 2 gig of ram and 2 user accounts which are always loaded and one always runs paralells windows xp. everything is updated and for the first couple months of having it, i made it so it would never sleep. now i set it to thirty minutes then sleep, but it didnt ever work. then i set it to sleep after one minute to just see if that was what it was and it didnt do that, either. i dont know whats interferring with it, maybe the apc backup battery program running, too? because my powermac g4 digital audio does it, too. it never will sleep on its own. but both work perfectly fine other than that and sleep fine and wake when i press the sleep button. any other reasons why? thanks!

  • MacBook late 2008 - stuck in clamshell mode

    This laptop was recently attached to an external display and all was fine - running in either mirror or non-mirror mode. When I last saw it it was set to mirror mode and the lid closed to effect "clamshell" mode.
    Recently however it has got into a state where the built-in screen display is not recognised. The external display is OK. If the external display is disconnected the MacBook will go to sleep regardless of the lid being open or pressing keys etc.
    On a reboot the laptop screen will show everything OK up until a few seconds after completeing the login phase - then it goes black.
    There is a lot of chatter in various forums about sleep issues but I can't see much about this particular variation. I've spent several hours scanning through these discussions and general Google searches.
    As I say in the title - the symptoms appear to be that the firmware believes the lid is closed and hence the OS X software, such as display preferences, gets locked out from accessing the display after startup is complete. If the OS decides there is no display present it puts the MacBook to sleep.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC, rebooted in Safe Mode, deleted the display preferences plist file, run the Apple Hardware Test - all with no change to the symptoms.
    Hass anybody reading this observed the same symptom and noted a method to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Graham

    I had a similar issue where my Late 2008 Macbook would get stuck in closed clamshell mode after connecting and disconnecting an external display, or just closing the lid.  Only rebooting the machine would bring back internal video. 
    External video continued working via the mini displayport, but the internal display would stay black no matter if the external display was connected or not.  I was also unable to adjust the display brightness from the internal keyboard, pressing the F1 and F2 keys had no effect (even while holding fn key).  Resetting PRAM and SMC had no effect.
    I resolved all aforementioned issues by replacing the HDD Bracket with IR/Sleep Cable.  This can likely be done fairly cheaply at a local Apple Store.
    I might suggest first having the HDD Cable and or IR/Sleep Cable reseated on the main logic board, before replacing anything.

  • Distorted sound on Apple TV 3

    Hi,
    I just bought an Apple TV (gen. 3).
    But I seem to have some problems with the sound. It is connected to my TV through HDMI and I have a speaker set connected directly to my TV. The problem is that the sound is distorted and the bass is all wrong. It’s like the Apple TV sends to high volume to the TV which is passed through to the speaker set.
    When I connect my PC and Xbox to my TV using HDMI the sound is perfect. So I am only experiencing this with the Apple TV.
    Anyone else got this problem? Any solutions?
    Regards,
    Stian

    I have an Apple TV3, updated to the latest firmware, connected with HDMI cable (in correct direction) to a Toshiba Regza TV.
    When streaming video or audio from iTunes (on a MacBook Air) or from my iPhone 4, the sound gets terribly distorted after 60-75 minutes. I usually solve the problem by switching the HDMI port on the TV, or stop streaming for half an hour.
    I get the same distorion when connecting directly from the MacBook's Mini DisplayPort with a HDMI adapter.
    I also have a PVR decoder connected via HDMI to the TV, this has never shown any problem.
    Since the sound distortion occurs after some time, and is immediately solved when swithcing HDMI port, my conclusion is that the audio output level from the Apple TV is too high, or not correctly coded, causing some kind of overheating of the HDMI circuitry in the TV. 
    I have tried all the suggestions in this forum (disabling sleep, disabling Digital Dolby etc) with no improvement..

  • MacBook shuts down for no reason after install of 10.6

    I have a black MacBook 2.1 with
    2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I got it from my mom after she poured a glass of water over it and it wouldn't start again and she bought herself a MacBook pro. A friend of hers dried it however and now only the part where it connects to the battery is broken but if you use it with the powercord it still works fine, so she gave it to me. I installed 10.4 again (which came with it) and had no problems with it (as long as noone messed with the powercord). After I realized however that all the software that is out now only works for 10.5 and up (thanks apple for not even providing the old iTunes version somewhere...), I figured it would be great to install SL (which I was told would work not optimally but fine on this version of MacBooks). Over ebay I ordered a new installation dvd with 10.6 but after backuping my stuff on an external harddrive and starting the installation, the trouble began:
    I had to do the installation about 10 times until it finally completed. During the installation process, it was like someone pulled the powercord (remember, no battery) and it completely shut down. I figured it might just be the installation process that was kinda hard on it but now that I have it working, it does the same thing! After around 20min or so, it just completely shuts down....
    Anyone got an idea why this could be happening?
    I tryed booting from my backup, but even though 10.4.11 started successfully, after like 7 min the same thing happened. I'm completely clueless, I mean it work fine all the time under 10.4 and now since the installation I have these strange problems...
    I would love to just have this **** snow leopard running....
    Thanks for any suggestions! =)

    Thanks for you answer =)
    unfortunately I couldn't open your picture for some reason (403), but its the single disk with just 10.6 on it in a small white package. Seems to be rather old, at least it says 2009 on it.
    UPDATE:
    I did some further checks on it, a friend suggested the symptoms might fit an increased temperature, so I installed Fan Control, which pretty much told me my right fan is broken (for the left one I got a reasonable value concerning rpm but for the right one it just said -1 ...but does the macbook even have 2 fans?) well, anyways, I installed iStats pro in addition and checked all the temperatures and this doesen't seem to be it (it shut down after exactly 40min with all temps being <= 50°C). The next time I turned it on and started with the systemupgrade, it only stayed on for 30min though.
    After I completed the upgrade to 10.6.6 I wanted to test for other hardware failures so I've installed prime95, but 2 self-tests went through without detecting any errors or even bringing up warnings, so it doesen't seem to be the ram either.
    Now my current uptime is 1:30h, so maybe 10.6.6 for some reason solved the problem?
    What I'm still having troubles with however (probably a detail I should have mentioned before...) is the monitor of the MacBook: it sometimes turns completely black, which doesn't affect my external monitor however. This happend during the installation as well (the one time where it didn't completely shut down which enabled my to finish the installation). The screen is completely dark but if you look closely you can still see some shadow of windows and buttons. When I ran the prime95 test this happend as well and after I sent the computer to sleep (close laptop lid) when I turned it back on it didn't light up again either. I didn't really have this problem under 10.4 but it happend to me twice but I think that was related to someone slightly hitting the powercord - at least that was my explanation at the time. Might the problem be caused somewhere there? I've read in other forums that sleep seemed to be a more frequent problem for MacBooks with SL.
    Are there any more tests I could run in order to find out something for sure or are there some logfiles where the reason might be documented?
    Well, my MacBook screen is "off" for now and I'll just keep it running now, maybe I'm lucky and it'll stay on... I would still really like to know if there is some causal relation between the MacBook screen and its turning off completely...I wouldn't really mind just keeping its screen turned off if that solves the problem for sure since I'm basically just using it as a desktop pc anyways but it was nice having a second display.
    Thanks [=

  • Using pim anf ile interface on motorola i760

    There is a problem using pim and file interface on motorola i760 (maybe other devices olso). I wrote an application that shows the content of the phone, and it is works great on the emulator (shows the gallery). When I execute it on motorola i760, it doesn't show the gallery and the system file is empty (unless I create files). Anyone knows what is the problem?
    Maybe is it motorola's problem?

  • OK to jump in?

    I had been in need of upgrading my G4/933 to Mac Pro but had been waiting because of issues (on these and other forums) with sleep, memory, (3rd party causing problems) and other problems that seem to be associated with the Mac Pro, but am aware that those that post are those with problems and may be the minority.
    I will be using it primarily for Photoshop CS3 as well as Illustrator, Indesign and Quark.
    The new Mac Pros have been out for about 5 months now,can you recommend purchasing one now?
    Advice/Comments Appreciated.

    With Adobe's Leopard compatibility still questionable, I'd hold off, or buy an older Mac that shipped prior to October 26, 2007. Here's Adobe's statement on compatibility:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
    Check all the software you need for Intel Mac compatibility as well as 10.4 compatibility before upgrading.
    If it isn't compatible yet, you can always buy a used or refurbished Mac from one of these sources*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    Leopard as an operating system is great, but if it doesn't run what you need, I'd hold off on getting new Macs, which can't run Tiger.
    Also since you are upgrading from a PowerPC Mac, you may want to also look at the alternative to migrating data via Migration Assistant, as migrating between PowerPC and Intel doesn't work well with the Migration Assistant:

  • HP 2509P Monitor is locked into sleep mode. I need help. Your support forum doesn't address it.

     My monitior is going into constant / perpetual sleep mode after about 2 seconds of turning it on.  I need help.  Your owners manual, support forum, etc. does not speak to this.

    Hi,
    Have you tested the monitor with any other PC or any other monitor with the PC to confirm whether the issue is with the monitor or the graphics chip of the PC. Please try with a different video cable also.
    Please post your observations.

  • Cinema Display won't wake from sleep

    After reading lots in the forums I've concluded lots of people have the same problem that we are mistakenly thinking is specific to a particular monitor or Mac or behaviour.
    Problem: Display suddenly does not wake from sleep - incidentally after an OS update and Cuda update.
    Hypothesis: This definitely seems like a software problem as I've solved it in so many new ways. (Some people are replacing hardware!) Once fixed, the problem recurs the next time the display goes to sleep. However solutions rarely work a second time.
    Solutions:
    1. Zapping PRAM fixes it.
    2. Deleting all displays preferences fixes it.
    3. Safe boot and clear caches may have fixed it.
    4. Pulling the Mini DisplayPort cable and blowing on it has fixed it. (I thought it was dusty since it worked. It may have just been pulling the cable.)
    5. Deleting a power management preference in System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ fixed it.
    6. Moving the power plug from one slot on a power bar to another fixed it. (***!?!)
    7. Creating a new user account fixed it.
    8. Now I'm stuck.
    Please can help me think of a new way to fix it? If I can get it going again, I will simply keep the computer and 2nd display awake forever.

    I have a new fix!
    8. Launch Magic Bullet Looks app and fiddle with the display settings!!! Woohoo! I got it back again.
    As long as the display never goes to sleep and is never unplugged (tried that) I can keep using the monitor. Sadly this means never lettting the new iMac sleep. 

  • Java threads consume CPU in sleep state (??)

    Hi,
    I'm using the PRSTAT command on Solaris for the first time.
    I am investigating high CPU usage problem in my application. So to monitor the CPU usage I used the prstat and mpstat command. My machine is a 2-CPU box.
    The prstat -L -p <pid> command output is as follows:
    PID     UNAME  ... ....  STATE           CPU      PROCESS / LWPID
    2962   bea                   run           7.6%           java / 5
    2962   bea                   run           5.6%           java / 38
    2962   bea                   run           5.6%           java / 22
    2962   bea                   sleep         5.5%           java / 21
    2962   bea                   sleep         5.4%           java / 36
    2962   bea                   cpu2          5.2%           java / 23
    2962   bea                   sleep         5.1%           java / 29
    2962   bea                   run           5.1%           java / 37

    2962   bea                   run           4.9%           java / 15
    2962   bea                   run           1.1%           java / 12
    2962   bea                   sleep         1.0%          java / 33
    2962   bea                   run           0.6%           java / 14
    2962   bea                   run           0.0%           java / 17
    ..... This shows that of all the threads in my app only one thread(23) is currently on the CPU and is using 5.2% of CPU. But why are the threads in sleep and runnable state consuming CPU?
    Also the mpstat output shows high CPU usage:
    CPU minf mjf xcal  intr ithr  csw icsw migr smtx  srw syscl  usr sys  wt idl
      0   8   0  366  428   61   994   387  40   70     0 10941  95   4    0    1

    I'm unable to interpret the result.
    Any help would be really useful to me at this moment.
    .

    Hi,
    Your question should be posted in a unix forum instead of a java forum. The question, and the answer is not related to java.
    The reason that prstat shows processes in sleaping state is that it doesn't create a snaphost at one point in time. It does instead show an average over some time (don't know the period), so the process has been running and consumed cpu, or is generally running, but currently sleeping.

  • Mac book pro 10.5.7 sleep issue..... not even sydney genius bar can help me

    ok hey guys, this is my first ever post on a support forum so please help me out!
    I'll give any specific hardware info if needed later on but this is the basics:
    i have had my mbp for over a year and 6months into it my mbp started going into sleep mode for no reason ...and no im not simple the energy settings are set to never sleep so its not that. Since then i have tried and tested everything under the sun to resolve the issue i have been to the genius bar and booked it in several times, each time they tell me they can not find any problem. I have had the logic board replaced - i have tried removing the p.list files, resetting pram thingy the battery test thing....everything...i have looked on endless forums for a resolution but nothing works!, it will go to sleep at random times generally when im doing alot of things on it it can run fine for days maybe sometime weeks but then its starts playing up again. When it does sleep the screen goes blank and the power light pulses but worst it cuts the internet connection which is terrible coz i have a time capsule and it cuts that link as well and messes that up entirely! sometimes it will just keep cutting out every 20-40 seconds untill i wake it by tapping the space bar or moving my mouse sometimes it just shuts down completely - i have done a compete erase & reinstall but ill b honest i still reinstalled some programs from my backups that cant be downloaded anymore (isquint etc) coz the genius guys said maybe a program is corrupting the hardware but if anyone has any ANY ideas or has the same problem please! tell me - im sure i could add more info n stuff but if u want 2 ask me specifics then i will answer anything to help
    thanx again guys.
    i should say at this point the only relief im getting to stop it from sleeping is if i disconnect the power adapter and use the battery that seems to stop it, but it has crashed(slept) on battery power as well but as of today doing this seems to help ....hasn't crashed since writting this! LOL

    Has anyone got any assumptions on suspect software that may cause my problem??
    I see that louie has a possible response for you. I had forgotten about that problem.
    lastfm, transmission or handbrake. Can anyone confim issues after installing these apps?
    if not these softwares then im convinced im dealing with a power issue.
    I would be doubtful (although not completely dismissive) of anything like these being the source of your problem.
    the genius bar has said it may b an enviromental issue. this also may be the case, tho not so much recently. They said perhaps magnectic fields may cause it 2 go 2 sleep and its true moving my MBP around does seem to settle it for instance if i move it out of my room im yet to see any of my sleep issues occur
    The movement sensor might be involved, as also louie's excellent suggestion of the temp sensor. It is difficult to know how to test these effectively and might need more tools than the GB can muster.
    But i dont live in a electricity tower and i did move my MBP to the other side of my room where it worked for a good month - and then started again with the sparatic sleeping.
    It is hard to disprove a negative. The only way to bring some sort of evidence to the table if there were some such interference would be to use the computer for an extended period away from where you are using it now. If it works without problem in (say) Starbucks or some other neutral area, and then fails within a few minutes of returning to your home, then there is something stronger to work with. Then you can start to track down some external source, I would guess.
    So i will try a safe start as graham had suggetsed as this seems as a simple enough fix - but i do run a time capsule, ext 1TB HD, Wireless mouse etc ..which i presume will not work in safe mode .... and is the idea to just keep safe mode on untill it does crash again or will just starting up on safe mode then restarting solve the issue?
    Time Machine ought to work in Safe Mode; and I would not suggest working that way for a lengthy period of time: just to start it up perhaps to clear something that is interfering. But what you write here is of interest: (A) The HD -- what is it (brand, etc, and how formatted) and how connected; plus the wireless mouse? What brand is that (and I presume you mean Bluetooth)?
    As for A weak diode..I dunno what that is or how 2 check it
    Right. I couldn't either, and most shops won't: they would just replace the board. There is a shop here . . . but that is too far for you.
    i think the battery is ok ..as i said it performs better at this point when i disconnect the power...but not always... i had a terrible day yesterday when it would keep going to sleep everytime i reconnected the power, if i try 2 persist it will keep going back 2 sleep ever 30 seconds untill i eaither just leave it be for a while or untill it just turns off completely!
    That suggests, as I mentioned earlier, something awry with the battery/power combination; especially if the performance is not consistent. A battery should deteriorate gradually, not come and go.
    If it does turn off when i turn it back on it wont even get to the grey apple logo it just keeps turning off after 2-5 seconds (turning off not sleeping)
    so im at a loss why that is!
    No power. You have to wait a while until the power level is brought up to a workable level.
    The power cord seems fine all the pins spring out - the middle spring is smaller than the others tho.
    Mine too. That seems OK.
    Do post those logs. Someone might see the answer.
