HP pavilion/dm4 goes to sleep after 1 minute--it's a drag!

I've checked my control panel settings and then the advanced settings (for notification icons--which doesn't apply to this problem).
What ever I set, I'm working at my computer and screen always goes to sleep 1 minute after if I don't touch the keyboard.
What am I not getting. I need at least 5 minutes or so before it should go to sleep. My computer at the office only goes to sleep after I make it.
Thanks.
Doug

If it's been inactive and you have it set in settings to shut down after a certain period of time, it will.
Try going into settings and changing this to your preference. If this is not the issue, adjust the settings anyways, then put back how you prefer. Sometimes turning a setting off, then back on can help
Aside from this you can do a restart. Press and hold the home and sleep button at same time until the apple logo appears. Or in settings > Reset> Reset all.

My COMPUTER goes to sleep and disrupts my apple tv all the time. How can I fix this?

That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

Satellite P875-S7102 going to sleep after one minute

This problem appeared out of nowhere a few months ago, and after going through a ton of settings (all of which did NOT have sleep set to come on after one minute of inactivity), I finally managed to fix it.
It's been about a month now, and suddenly the problem presented itself again. My laptop is plugged in, about 50% of the battery is charged, but every time I leave it unattended for one minute it instantly goes into sleep mode. My settings are for it to go to sleep when unplugged after 1 hour, and 4 hours when plugged in.
What on earth is going on, and why does this keep happening? Does anyone know how to fix this?

HP Pavilion DV6 Sleep Mode Issue After Windows 10 Upgrade (Goes To Sleep After 2 Min Of Inactivity)

I recently upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The upgrade went smooth and everything appears to be running fine except for one anoying glitch. After approx. 2 min of inactivity my laptop atuomatically goes into sleep mode and logs me out. I have checked all my power settings/sleep settings/screen saver settings...etc and I have completed all the windows updates. I don't see any timers anywhere that require adjustment. Any help would be appreciated. Note: The laptop wakes up fine with no issues.

Hello Konacha, Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!I have read your thread regarding the computer entering sleep mode, upon Administrative prompts or a restart. There isn't a lot that could be done, but by the end of it, the issue should be resolved Hopefully, the simple fix is creating a new power plan. Your current power plan may be incorrectly configured. This Microsoft website can help with all the details of this task: Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme) If that doesn't help, then personally, I would reinstall the operating system. This will fix it, as it will address any software conflict or virus that could be causing this. First, you should backup your data. I will provide information on how to do that: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7) Once this is done, it is safe to do the System Recovery. Here is some information on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7) Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again for posting, and have a great day! Mario

HP Pavilion, Monitor going to sleep error

When i start up my HP Pavilion, It shows a screen with no vga signal, and then it says "Monitor going to sleep" I do not know what to do? Please help.

I am having the same problem where my Desktop turns on, nothing comes up on the monitor and it goes to sleep fairly quickly, and the fan just keeps running in the tower and is louder than normal. The keyboard does not seem to be responsive and I checked to make sure my monitor is working. How would a bad graphics card make the fans keep running like that?

Problems going to sleep after 10.5 upgrade and new memory

Looking around the forums I notice lots of problems with sleeping computers and Leopard. Here's my story.
After upgrading my eMac with new memory (now at 1 GB) and Leopard, I have problems getting it to go to sleep after logging out. What happens is at the logout/login screen I click the sleep button, it goes gray for seven or eight seconds or so, then goes active again and the computer stays awake. I have to click-and-wait three times before the computer will sleep. It is a consistent bug in that I always have to click three times.
I figure this is more likely a Leopard problem than a memory problem. I bought the RAM off eBay but they are name-brand chips and haven't given me any problem.
Any thoughts?

Andy,
I would pull out to the new RAM upgrade and see if your sleep issue is hardware related. If your Mac still doesn't sleep correctly, I would try reloading OS X from your retail discs, then upgrade to 10.5.2 making sure you use the Combo Updater instead of Software Update.

Error after my Mac goes to sleep after streaming music?

After streaming music and stopping for a while, my Mac goes to sleep and I receive the error in the attached screen shot when I try to stream again. The only thing that seems to work is quitting iTunes an reopening. Why does it do this and how can I stop it from doing this? Thanks.

Hello Media Fred,
It sounds like you are getting this message after the computer wakes from sleep, and you need to restart the iTunes application to get it to work correctly. I recommend signing out of your account first:
Choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
From: iTunes 11 for Mac: Manage your iTunes Store account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12299
Then restart your computer, and sign back into the iTunes Store and test the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Pavilion DM4 doesn't start after motherboard replacement

My wife accidentally left her Pavilion DM4 in our RV with the roof vents open during a recent storm. Not surprisingly, it didn't survive the watering. We shipped it to the Best Buy service center for assessment and they claimed that the motherboard is fried and that they couldn't order a spare one anymore because "the model is too old." I ordered one on eBay that was supposedly pulled from a working unit and swapped it myself (transferring the old processor to the new motherboard). Unfortunately - despite all the drumrolls I was able to simulate - it didn't wake up after surgery. The HP logo on the back of the display, the orange LED on the f12 key (Wifi antenna logo), as well as the green LED built into the power button all blink in 3s intervals.
There is a white LED next to the power plug and if I put the battery in that LED turns orange. So it seems like the power supply works and is charging the battery, right?
What else could it be?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Dear Mrstenter,thanks much for your response! I tried a master reset, as well as reseating the memory and HDD - no change. There is no audible noise of any kind (no beeping, no fan, no HDD spinning).And unfortunately the blinking I'm experiencing doesn't match any of the error codes listed in that document. It just keeps blinking briefly every 3 seconds and doesn't stop.I left it plugged in and the orange battery charging light had changed to white when I checked it after a couple of hours. So I think the power supply and battery charging unit is working. If it was a problem with the display connector I'd think that the blinking wouldn't be as persistent and I'd hear the HDD spinning up. But as it stands it seems like it just doesn't come to live at all. The motherboard came from a vendor who prides themselves with "no DOA" policy and they claim it came out of a new laptop (which sounds strange, but it actually looked fairly new). But of course nobody can guarantee that (I'll try to return it if I can't get it to run). My biggest concern is whether the processor is still intact. Is it possible that it died too during the water damage? Does anyone know what the continued blinking means? Thanks,Martin

My nano goes to sleep after removing the charger when fully charged

After around 3 years I start to use my ipod again. It can charge perfectly fine but when I removed the charger when it's fully charged, it goes to sleep. I can't turn it on afterwards. Is it not working because the battery is "dead"? I can do everything just fine but I can't use it unless it's charging.

Considering that the iPod wasn't used for 3 years, it's likely that the battery is dead and in need of replacement. You can have Apple service it for a flat fee or you can send it into a 3rd party repair company for a little less.

MacBook pro 13 mid '09 not going to sleep after the selected period

Hi i am kinda new to this so i don't know if I am doing this right. Well this is the problem, when i leave the mbp on it's own for a while it doesn't go to sleep after the designated period of time. The laptop goes to sleep when the lid is closed and i have tried the usuals such as resetting the PRAM, restarting, restoring the default sleep times etc. I know this is not a major problem and I probably wasting your time and I'm sorry but it's just one of those annoying things!
Thanks in advance!

Is this a new Apple battery? If so bring it to an Apple store for evaluation and probable replacement. If it is a third party battery, it may be suspect.
Ciao.

Cinema Display goes to sleep after connection to MacBook Pro.

Hi, I've been using my 21" Cinema Display from my old G5 as the monitor for my new MacBook Pro. I used a Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adaptor to connect it to the MacBook Pro, and it has worked very well - until today.
Now, as soon as I turn the MacPro on (and quickly shut the lid as usual) the cinema display comes up and then - goes to sleep. And I cannot wake it up! If I open the MacPro, both monitors come up. However I'd really like to use just one monitor, the cinema display. What has happened ? I don't think I changed a thing.
Hope someone can help?
Thanks

Have you (perhaps unknowingly) got one of the screen corners set to put the screen to sleep in Exposé. System Preferences>Exposé & Spaces.
You normally have to deliberately point the mouse to the corner to sleep the screen (if active corners have been set up) perhaps if the mouse is left just hovering near an active screen corner maybe the slightest of movements is triggering the screen to sleep. Worth a look.

IBOOK G4 Powers on then goes to sleep after loading, any help?

I have a 12 inch IBook g4 purchased less than a year ago. On power up, screen loads, Pop-up says date set prior to March 1, 2001, icons and wallpaper load and then book goes to sleep. All in a matter of 3-5 seconds. Help me please

I too am having problems with my ibook falling to sleep or quitting. It also sometimes loses the backlight of the display. I took it to an apple authorized dealer and they eliminated the possibility of the cause being the cord, the batter, the airport card, or the ram. I also get the message of it having the wrong time set in the clock before March 2000. The time is not set wrong.
I am also having an issue with the powercord. When pluged in so I can recharge it doesn't always sho that it recharges. I have to rearrange the cord to get it to register that it is charging. This ibook is only 18 months old and giving me unbeleivable problems. My imac is 8 years old and still running...slow but running. what gives? I make my livng on this little ibook so I really need answers and the dealer is not very helpful. Please help I'm desparate!
