How wake up the computer from sleep

I have an HPE Pavilion h8-1100z, 64 bit, running Win 7. When the computers goes to sleep, I have problems waking it up. I have tried pressing various keys but nothing happens. Microsoft says to check the computer manual but I don't see anything in the manual which tells me what to do. I end up turning the computer off.

Guinniegirl, welcome to the forum.
I suggest changing the power settings: Start / Control Panel / Power Options. In the left column there are different categories for making the computer Sleep. Check the settings to assure they are to your liking. You can change any of the settings to "Never" if you choose to do so.

Is the trackpad supposed to also wake up the computer from sleep?

Hello,
I am not sure if I am able to before, but right now making a swipe or even a click on my trackpad doesn't wake up the computer from sleep - although typing on the keyboard does. Is this really the case? Or can the trackpad also wake the computer? I've already tried resetting the PRAM but it would still not do the trick. It doesn't bother me much though.
Thanks!

Swiping the trackpad should also wake the computer. Touching a keyboard key that is benign is usually preferred. i.e. shift key.

Everytime I wake up my computer from Sleep Mode the sound starts to crackle on my X-Fi?

Sometimes I'll be playing a song and a few seconds in it starts to crackle and distort the music. I notice that it only happens after my computer wakes up from sleep mode. Usually restart can fix the problem.

Okay, I seem to have solved the problem I posted about earlier. I noticed that the language preference in the upper right hand corner of the screen (between the date and time and the Spotlight icon) had somehow gotten switched from American English to French. When I switched it back to American English, my password worked when waking the computer from sleep mode. I have no idea why changing the language preference would affect the way the password works but that seems to have been the case. I'll post again if I experience more problems.

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

Since upgrading to LionEvery time I wake the computer from sleep mode I have to wait several minutes until the computer connects to the Internet

I have found that Lion is slower to connect to WiFi when awakening than were previous Mac OS X versions. However, the WiFi connection usually takes less than 15 seconds unless a Time Machine backup was interrupted when my computer was put to sleep. When this happens and the computer awakens, the Time Machine backup attempts to continue prior to the WiFi connection having been made. Until the Time Machine backup fails due to its inability to connect to my Time Capsule because of no WiFi connection, or I stop it manually, the WiFi connection will not occur. So if Time Machine backups are on, you may be experiencing this bug which I have reported to Apple.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

Did you not bring all your important data over from your old computer? Do you have a backup of the iTunes library that you can restore? If not, then its not to late, just more work that it should be.
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How to stop the computer from changing its local network name when waking up from sleep mode

How do I prevent a mac mini from changing its' network name automatically when it wakes up from sleep mode... It will wake up and display a warning that the network name is already in use and it changes its name to (n+1) name with number after it... I know that there is no other device with that name because the only other things on the network are 2 hard drives (one being used for time capsule) and a printer..
This is very annoying and needs to be fixed.... don't tell me to make the computer never sleep because that defeats the power savings settings under power management.

Go to System Preferences>Network>AirPort and delete your network from the Preferred Networks box. Reenter your network information. Make sure that AirPort is the topmost listed interface when you Show Port Configurations. Apply the changes and Restart. Does it work now?

What might my problem be if my display will not come on after waking the computer from sleep or powering it on?

When I try to wake the MBP from sleep (opening the lid, pressing spacebar, or pressing power button), the computer display doesn't come on. The light on the front shows it is awake but there is no display or backlight though the caps lock lights up. I have tried an SMC and PRAM reset to no avail. I tried to start up in safe mode but now as soon as the screen comes up to select the user the display goes out and I don't know how to get it to stop trying to boot up in safe mode. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be and some possible solutions?

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) wakes up the Mac from sleep

My Mac Mini continuously wakes up from sleep because of a usb event. I've found that this event isn't other that the UPS connected by the ethernet-USB cable. Have you found a solution for this matter that affects many people, as I've read in the past discussions?

Whether it is accurate or not is a side issue. And because these are usually a custom type cable, harder to replace, but many times all it takes for a problem is to have a faulty usb cable or contact (or Firewire).
I've never had an APC UPS interfere and I've used more than a few and have 2 currently supporting my system (one for computer and monitor, one for peripherals).
How old is it and is the battery still fully charged and functioning properly? I found that APC has great software for their UPS, in Windows, but dorky and no features really in OS X and now "not needed" and conflicts with Tiger 10.4.4+. But in Vista, a full set of feedback statistics and to control some variables.

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my mouse pointer often disappears upon waking the computer from sleep.

Anybody else having this problem. Know how to fix it? My mini is the low-end mid 2011 model, using the mouse with the trackpad built in (magic mouse?).

Hello,
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

Phone wakes the computer from sleep - ??

Anyone ever seen something like this? It's just started to happen recently, and I haven't reconfigured my desk or the office...
Whenever the phone rings and my laptop is sleeping, the laptop wakes up! The two devices aren't plugged into the same powerstrip, or even the same plug for that matter. And this has never happened before.
Just thought it was curious.

If you use a wireless router try changing the channel. You can download the iStumbler utility (www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com) and use it to determine what channels are currently free of overlap with any other wireless devices. Alternatively, you may be able to change the telephone's channel. In any case separating the channels may reduce interference. You can also try turning on the Interference Robustness option of the Airport card.

Mouse wakes computer from sleep

Any time I close the lid on my MacBook Pro, and accidentally hit my mouse, it wakes the computer from sleep. How can I stop this? There is no "mouse" wake option in Energy Saver, so where can I turn it off?

Check under *Keyboard & Mouse* in preferences. Mine is a wireless bluetooth mighty mouse and it's under Bluetooth I don't have a USB mouse but from this article there may not be a switch for turning the wake up off.

I am using a USB keyboard and everytime I wake the iMac from sleep the keyboard will not respond unless I unplug and replug the keyboard. I am using a mid-2010 iMac with OSX 10.6. Any help would be appreciated.

I am currently using a USB keyboard (PC Model) and everytime I wake the computer from sleep the keyboard no longer responds unless I unplug and replug it. The USB mouse I am using works fine with no issues and I have already gone through the prompt to identify the keyboard in the settings. If anyone know of a setting I can use to permenantly enable the keyboard so I no longer have to unplug and replug it that would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

Mouse waking computer from sleep

I'm using a wireless USB Logitech mouse with my MacBook. Moving the mouse wakes the computer from sleep and I would like to disable this function. Is there a way to change the setting so the computer requires a keystroke to wake it?
Thanks.

I'd rather not buy a new mouse if I don't have to. I found this link http://www.macyourself.com/2008/08/28/prevent-accidental-wake-ups-when-an-apple- laptops-lid-is-opened/ that shows how to disable the lid wake function in terminal. Is there a mouse wake disable code in terminal?

Creating keyboard shortcut to put the computer to sleep

I am trying to find out the command to run to put the computer to sleep in the same way as when I press System-->Shutdown-->Suspend in my MATE desktop.
I can send the computer to sleep using systemctl suspend and resume with no problems.
However the behavior is slightly different than pressing the "Suspend" button in that the screen is not locked when I awake the computer from sleep.
What should I write to lock the screen and put the computer to sleep, so that I am asked the password when I resume it?
Thanks a lot in advance for the help,
Cheers,
Luca

Thanks monodromy and allonsy for the answers.
Finally I discovered that the way you lock the screen in MATE is with the command:
mate-screensaver-command -l
I'll try to create a service "lockscreen" as proposed by jason and will post the solution to close the topic!
Thanks for the help guys!
