Has there been a resolution to the wake up issue created by upgrading to OSX Lion?

Since upgrading to OSX Lion my iMac will not wakeup. Has there been any resolution to this problem?

This is a problem with your computer and system, not with Lion. I suggest you do the following:
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Because the Lion volume will be erased I recommend you first backup your files so they can be restored after reinstalling Lion.

    I have a 2005 Jaguar xj8.  When I tried to upgrade my 3gs to a 4g  two years ago, I got a ticking noise in the speaker and no one on the other end could hear me.  I had to go back to a 3gs.  My phone is shot and I need to upgrade.  Has there been a fix to the problem?  Apple told me there was some sort of interference with the airbag system.  Jaguar was totally unhelpful.

  • Has there been any problems with the mail server?

    Has there been any problems with the mail server? I keep getting a notice of server failure.

    Unfortunately the error message does not identify the specific server, I (as many folks do) have several, Mac, yahoo, google ect.

  • Has there been any fix to Aiport Express Scanning Issues?

    I have my HP printer/scanner hooked in to (by usb) to an airport express. I knew about a year ago that you weren't able to scan with this configuration. Has there been any workaround to this problem?
    Thanks..

    Has there been any workaround to this problem?
    The only workaround remains to connect your printer/scanner directly to your computer.
    Since It is HP that must supply the correct sofware drivers for this functionality to work on the AirPorts, you might want to contact HP to ask them about their future plans in this regard.
    I suppose that it could not hurt to remind Apple that you would like to see this type of functionality as well.

  • Has there been any resolution using Plaxo and IMAC not able to sync

    Does anyone have the resolution for PLAXO sync for IMAC?  I have no issues with iphone of ipad only syncing with IMAC -

    Has anything changed between now and the last time you had sync working?  (upgraded iOS for example)
    I am not familiar with this: "However, on itunes, the button that usually says "my device" in the top right".  I don't see this on the latest release, what version of iTunes are you using?

  • Has there been a fix for the dreaded kernel_task eating up all CPU problem yet???

    Since I bought this pile of garbage in 2011 and went overseas I've been struggling with it. This kernel_task issue is completely insane and a lot of pepole experience it as well, so has Apple released a fix or has anyone figured out a proper way to get rid of it?

    I have this same issue on my iMac after an upgrade. My girlfriend's iMac (same model) was unaffected. So the problem seems to affect random machines of all ages and types. I have a solution but not a fun one.
    @ScottC75 : The CPU percentage shows what % of an individual core is being used. If you have a multi-core chip (which most Macs do) this can go above 100%
    I've read *a lot* of forums on this kernel_task problem with people spouting quite a lot of rubbish.
    I first tried everything listed on forums: reinstalling OS X, removing kexts (that apparently stop your computer from overheating), new RAM, tidying up the computer. None of it worked.
    One guy said he took three trips to the Apple Store, having his MBP sent off each time; eventually they gave him a brand new MBP of the latest spec. That might be the option for you but I didn't want to be without my computer for that time.
    Finally, I did a complete wipe of my Mac. If you boot using the backup partition, or using a USB with an OS X Install on it, the option to 'reinstall' or 'install a new OS X' does not wipe your computer. Once it has finished, you will have all your files and applications still. This did not fix my computer. Instead, you must use Disk Utility first to wipe you Macintosh HD partition and then install. Then you Mac acts like it's brand new. Only this fixed the problem. The massive downside is that I had to backup everything and reinstall all my apps.
    This is a drastic measure, and you run the risk of forgetting to backup all the stuff you want. It did work though and was ultimately quicker than going to the Apple Store (even if I might have got a new computer out of it).
    In summary, to fix this problem:
    1. I backed up all my files onto an external hard drive!
    2. I booted up to the recovery screen (Command + R or hold the option key at bootup)
    2. In Disk Utility, I 'erased' my 'Macintosh HD' partition
    4. Back on the main recovery screen, I chose to (Re)install OS X.

  • Has there been a fix for the speakerphone problem?

    I recently had to return two N97 handsets due to the fact that the speakerphone on the handsets worked poorly. Contacts I called using speakerphone repeatedly told me I was "breaking up." Speakerphone volume was also mediocre, compared to other N series handsets I have owned. When the problem occured with the second handset I settled on returning the phone and waiting until I knew more about the problem and whether Nokia was aware of it and preparing a fix for it. I no longer own the phone and have gone back to using my trusty and very excellent, but old N958GB.
    Can someone/anyone tell me whether this particular bug on this handset has even been identified by Nokia and whether it has been fixed? Is the problem with the speakerphone a software issue or is this a hardware/mic/factory issue? If this is an isolated problem and it was simply a "bad batch" I would be prepared to buy the phone agan, but based on my reading on this forum, this is not a completely isolated problem.
    Basically, I'm waiting to find out whether (a) Nokia knows this is a problem, (b) it can be fixed via software upgrade, or (c) this is a design flaw with the handset that's not fixable remotely. Any help users can give would really be greatly appreciated, as I would love to purchase the phone and update my handset at long last.

    Hi
    Does anyone know anything about this? At least, can anyone who had an update that has improved the phone say whether the update solved that problem, if they were experiencing the problem with the loudpspeaker before?

  • Has there been a fix for the accelerometer issue plaguing iPod touch?

    I have rebooted, restored, restored to backup and restored it as a new iPod and no matter what my accelerometer has not functioned properly. And I do not have the portrait mode locked! It begins to work for a little bit but after awhile it stops. I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to IOS 5.  I just cannot believe it is only a hardware issue.

    If your iPhone is no longer in warranty you could do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store. This assumes you, or a 3rd party repair site, has not opened the iPhone.

  • Was there ever a resolution to the thermal paste issue? Worth reapplying?

    Last time I checked these forums was a month ago and people were debating whether there was any concrete benefit to popping open the MBP and reapplying thermal grease. For each guy that said it helped, another said it did nothing. Was there ever a consensus or official resolution to this debate?

    Save your money. Besides if you take the computer to an authorized Apple repair center they will not do the work unless you have an authorization from Apple Customer Service. They will not authorize the work unless there is something specifically malfunctioning. If you really want the thermal paste re-applied you will have to do it yourself. This requires a complete disassembly of the computer and some special drivers.
    If you read the article I referenced you will note that there is little point to replacing the paste.
    You can download and install an extension called Speedit.kext along with a companion program called CoreDuoTemp (www.versiontracker.com, www.macupdate.com, or www.increw.org) and use it to monitor the CPU's core temperature. Unless it's running hotter than "normal" there's really nothing to worry about. Normal temps typically range between 50-75 C under loads varying from 2-30 percent or more.

  • Has there been trouble with the charger.  I am getting to re-order but the one i had the had the power surge and the end was blackened.  Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again?

    Has there been any trouble with the charger?  I am getting ready to re-order but the one i had.... the had the power surge and the end was blackened.  Not sure if it safe to use the laptop again?  Thanks.

    Can you also see blackening in the power jack on the PowerBook? If so, I would be worried that the surge also damaged the computer/
    Does the computer run OK on just the battery? If it is working on battery power, that limits the number of things inside the computer that could have been fried.
    If the computer is severely damaged by the surge, it's not worth repairing. However, a couple of posters in Apple forums said their homeowners'/renters' insurance paid them replacement value of their computer after power surge damage due to known problems on the grid, like the huge power outage that hit the SW Untied Stats and part of Mexico yesterday.

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue?

    Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue? Where the ipad starts typing on its own and screens moving around the screen?
    I have had the ipad 1 for a while- and it started about 5 months ago. Anything other than shutting down and leaving alone for hours work?

    Yeah, well if you read that whole thread you will see lots of posts identifying it as a hardware problem:
    I'm the original poster on this thread. I ended up taking my iPad back to the Apple Store. They ran some diagnostics, and found that my RAM was almost maxed out, which didn't really make sense. It indicated a faulty processor, so they gave me a new iPad. I took it home, synched, and it only took about 45 minutes to synch 30 gigs of data. My original iPad took about 5 hours to synch for the first time. Clearly there was a problem with the processor in the first one, but I didn't realize it at first, as it took several weeks before it started exhibiting the erratic screen behavior. Hope this helps anyone else who might experience this down the line.

    So i went to my apple store... which was PACKED. Found a manager and explained my problem. Without any question, they simply replaced it. Awesome!
    -duncanwilcox
    I have the same problem, and I found out what's wrong, it's not the software - restart, restore and FW upgrade will not help, it's definitely hardware. The best option is to replace your iPad assuming you have an apple store nearby…

    Just get your iPad replaced. It has a hardware problem.
