Imac 3.06 ghz problem waking from sleep

I've got my IMAC which I leave on and is set for the default settings for the display and computer sleep modes. I'm finding on some occasions the computer and display won't wake up and come out of sleep mode. On some occasions it does. I'm using the bluetooth keyboard and mouse that come stock with this IMAC. When this happens I have to force shutdown and then restart by holding the power button down til it turns off and then starting it up again. On many occasions I've been able to get it out of sleep even after it's been overnight yet I'm regularly having this problem. Can anyone advise if there's a fix to this and how I should deal with it.
Thanks

If what arnie suggested does not work, you could try performing an SMC reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

IMac G5 no Bluetooth on waking from Sleep

I have an iMac G5 2 Ghz model with a wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple wireless keyboard and have recently been encountering a problem with the bluetooth connections to them on waking form sleep. Although I have searched and found threads detailing similar issues to mine, they have not been exactly the same hence my starting a new topic.
The iMac works perfectly and I can put it to sleep just fine. Later on I can tap a key or hit a mouse button and the machine wakes up. However from that point both the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, I will get the screen pop-up message telling me that the keyboard and mouse are disconnected, the bluetooth icon in the menu bar is crossed out but the machine itself has not crashed, the clock continues to click up, I have an animated desktop background which continues to play and if I plug a standard USB mouse in, that works.
If I leave it alone (literally for five or ten minutes), then nine times out of ten, the mouse and keyboard will suddenly start working, disconnect again for a few seconds, reconnect and then work perfectly for the rest of the day as long as the iMac doesn't sleep. Sometimes the bluetooth system simply doesn't come back up even after twenty minutes or so and I am forced to hard reset the machine an reboot. From a restart, the system always works perfectly.
What I don't understand is if the bluetooth system is loosing connection when asleep, how comes a tap on the mouse will wake it up ok and then it disconnects?
So far I've reset the PRAM and Power Management systems, trashed the bluetooth preference files and restarted, and run a permissions check. These seem to make it better for a while but the problem comes back. It doesn't seem like a hardware problem in that it all works perfectly while kept awake but I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can try next or look for.
Many thanks in advance.

OK obviously tempted fate by posting, the bluetooth problem has returned!
While awake both the keyboard and mouse connections are rock-solid, on startup, both connect instantly it's just waking from sleep that's the issue.
I had the problem just a few minutes ago, the Mac had been asleep for about 30 minutes, I tapped the mouse and it woke up, I could even move the mouse pointer around for a few seconds and then it suddenly froze. The Connection Lost message (for the mouse not the keyboard) appeared on the screen and the bluetooth icon in the menu bar changed to the 'no connection' sign. If I flip the mouse over the little green led doesn't come on.
After about ten seconds the bluetooth icon changed to normal and the mouse worked-for about two seconds then the whole cycle repeated. This happened three times, the mouse worked for a few seconds, the connection dropped and I had to wait about twenty seconds for it to come back to life on its' own. I tried the volume up and down on the BT keyboard but that wasn't working either. On the third time of dropping, the bluetooth assistant fired up telling me that there was no keyboard attached, just as the mouse resumed working on it's own. It searched for a keyboard, told me that it couldn't find one and then immediately told me that a keyboard was attached and no further action is required.
And from that point on both have worked perfectly. If it was just the mouse or the keyboard, I'd suspect that was the problem but I find it hard to credit that both would fail at the same time.
Well I'm now officially stumped. Surely it's inconceivable that a failing BT module would not work on waking but be perfect all the rest of the time?
Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

IMac loses WiFi connection after waking from sleep on OSX 10.8.2

Bought a new mid-2011 21.5 inch IMac this week. It is not re-establishing WiFi connection after waking from sleep. Was happening on OSX 10.7 that it came with, so updated to 10.8.2 and same problem exists.
I am running a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display alongside, on OSX 10.8.2 and no problems at all. Cannot work out what is causing the IMac to fail and neither can Apple!
Could it be the Netgear Wireless Router 3 years old? Full signal strength!

Me too!
I am on a MAC Pro desktop and I am having the same issues. I go to system preferences and just click the network icon. Then I close mail and when it opens it now sees the network. This is getting very annnoying.

Problems Waking from Sleep

Symptoms: For the past 2-3 months I have been having difficulties waking my 13in MacBook Pro (purchased May 2010) from sleep. The problem came on slowly, but then started to get worse and worse until every time I open my computer lid I have to manually restart (hold down button in upper right corner of keyboard). When I open the laptop, the fan always starts going, but the screen remains black. Sometimes when I manually restart, I get the hazy screen with the progression of vertical bars across it and then within 1 minute, my computer restores itself to what I was working on before entering sleep mode. However, now it mostly involves a complete manual restart.
Genius bar diagnosis and treatment: When I brought it in 2 weeks ago, it was presumed to be a software problem. My whole computer was erased and restored back to factory settings. The problem persisted, though it was not as frequent as before the system was reset. I brought in my computer again two days ago and this time they kept it overnight to run full diagnostics and look at the hardware. Nothing was found to be wrong. They say the next step is to send it off to look at the Main Logic Board, but I would like more opinions before I pay that hefty price.
Past history: in the 2 years since I have had the laptop, the link cable to the hard drive has needed to be replaced twice. Additionally, (probably unrelated, but who knows), my charger short circuited on me about 6 months ago.
Perhaps this indicates mishandling, but I am extremely careful with my computer. I transport it in a hard case shell along with a padded Incase. Being a college student, I need a personal computer and I treat my Mac very well with all necessary precautions. I am more than a little upset that having made such an investment for an Apple laptop that now Apple is not holding up their end of the deal.
Help, please!

Me three; I just got my pb, so I was worried that this was a hardware flaw. You've both had yours for some time, I take it, and this just started happening (presumably, right after an OS update)?
I always closed my G3-500 iBook lid and tossed it in my work bag with hardly a care, and it never disappointed me by failing to wake up in exactly the same state in which I'd left it -- until the day it bit the dust, almost a month ago. The PB has really been a disappointment so far in that regard. Seems like every other time I close it, when I open it up again it's mysteriously switched itself off.
I will try the old CmdOption+PR and see if this happens again afterward.

IMac 2007 model hangs after waking from sleep

Hi there,
I have a 2007 iMac with 2Ghz processor, 4GB RAM running OSX 10.8.2 which has been a fantastic computer up until a few weeks ago. I hardly ever turn my computer off so it falls asleep during the nights. When I wake it though it seems to hang. It doesn't really matter what I try and do it just sits there for ages thinking about what it's going to do. Sometimes for ten minutes before an app will finally open. Once it has settled and decides its going to work its back to its usual self and working fine.
I have tried formatting the hard drive and reinstalling everything, I have also reset the PRAM, and checked in the disk utility that the SMART setting says verified on my HD. I have run software updates so everything is bang up to date, but I'm still having issues. If I reboot and start a fresh it seems to work, but doing this every time it falls asleep seems wrong and unnecessary, plus whilst its hanging it won't let me reboot, I have to manually turn the power off which I don't like doing.
Has anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening? I have not upgraded anything hardware wise, apart from the RAM but that was years ago, so has no impact. Hope I've put enough details here, and thanks in advance for any ideas
Sam

I believe that this is an artifact of waking up from "hibernation" or "deep sleep"
there are several sleep modes:
regular sleep just cut off power to disk and monitor, but keeps the RAM powered.
safe sleep keeps RAM powered but also writes the contents of RAM to disk, just in case power is cut off (usually for laptops where battery can be drained/removed), but normally would wake up from RAM
deep sleep is full on hibernation, RAM is written to disk and the machine is shut down.
check your hibernatemode:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
0 = no hibernation i.e. regular sleep
1 = immediate hibernation i.e. deep sleep
3 = safe sleep
25 = agresive pageout with deep sleep.
therefore it could be that the "sitting and thinking" is your mac reading back the RAM from the hard disk after waking up from deep sleep...
check your hibernatemode.
my first iMac (27" late 2012) exhibited the fan going on full blast upon connecting to power, quiet when the machine was booted, and full blast again when the machine was off.
I am now on my third replacement iMac, the last two are exhibiting identical issue with sleep: the machines will go to sleep and will not wake up, and in addition the power button is disabled, i.e. pressing the power button will not restart the machine.
I am guessing that the SMC crashed, as the only course of recovery is to reset the SMC by removing power, pressing the power button for a while, and attempting to restart (does not work all the time, so I sometimes have to repeat the SMC reset procedure).
after doing some research on the net, I found how to view the hibernate mode, and saw that my machine was set to hibernate mode 5, which is NOT an approved setting, see below.
I used the system pref -> energy saver and clicked restore defaults which restored the hibernatemode to 0.
HOWVER, upon plugging in a powered USB hub, the hibernate mode was automagically reset to 5.
once at hibernate mode 5, putting the machine to sleep manually exhibited the same symptoms, i.e. not wake from sleep and disabled power button.
this was done with an apple care tech on the phone, and he recommended replacing the iMac once again, and sending me a fourth replacement!
overnight I played some more with this
I reset the hibernate mode but this time to 3 and I tried a different USB hub.
hibernate mode stayed at 3 after plugging in the USB hub.
I then created a small shell script to monitor and display the hibernate mode:
function showhibernate() {
while true
do echo -n `date` " ";pmset -g|grep hibernatemode;sleep 10
done
and executed it overnight
this evening after I came home from work, I noticed that the hibernate mode somehow was switched from 3 to 7!?
unfortunately, I did not have the echo `date` on the first version, so I do not know when it was switched from 3 to 7.
however, the machine did wake up from sleep... (so it seems that 7 is not as bad as 5?)
I am guessing that some powered USB hubs cause unexpected changes to the hibernatemode, which in turn cause the SMC to crash, disabling the power button.
why plugging in some powered USB hubs but not others will cause the hibernatemode to switch to 5?
why hibernate mode would automagically switch from 3 to 7?
neither 5 nor 7 are documented in the man page, and the only recommended modes are 0 3 and 25:
We do not recommend modifying hibernation settings. Any changes you make are not supported. If you choose to do so anyway, we recommend using one of these three settings. For your sake and mine, please don't use anything other 0, 3, or 25.
For now I cancled the shipment of the fourth replacement, as this seems to be an issue affecting all iMacs (and a specific USB powered hub), so that a new machine will not resolve the issue...
bottom line, remove the USB hub, and/or try another one.
hope this helps.

2 Lion Problems: Waking from Sleep Doesn't Go to Wifi Network; & Can No Longer Finger Swipe in Firefox to Move Backward/Forward

I hve a late 2009 iMac at home that I've upgraded to Lion. So far, there are only 2 issues that I'm having:
1 - When I wake the iMac from a long sleep, it doens't automatically log into my wifi network. I have to drag the mouse up to the menu bar, click on the signal icon and choose my wifi network. A few tiems yesterday, the computer stopped recognizing the network while I was in the middle of surfing. Haven't had that in a while, but the inability to log in directly after waking up remains.
2 - I use Firefox to surf. I can no longer move backwards and forwards between pages by swiping left or right. It works in Safari, but not in Firefox. Is that a new functionality that has to be rebuilt into Firefox because of Lion?

Caleb was here wrote:
I have a similar wifi problem after installing Lion. When my computer goes to sleep or I turn my wifi off, it won't reconnect to my wireless network. I have to manually select it and then retype my wep password. It tries to connect and then says "connection timeout" and the login failed, however, even though it says that it was unable to connect, it actually does connect and I get regular connectivity. Frustrating.
I have a 15" core i7 2010 MBP.
@Caleb was here. I had the same issue before I switched to Lion, turned out it was some issue with my router. I bought another router and I haven't had the issue since. Try changing from WEP to WPA (you should do this anyway) and see if you have the same issues still.

I have the latest firmware... still having problems waking from sleep

First off, I want to say that I have the latest firmware updates and have had them for a few months: SMC version 1.4f12 and Boot ROM version MB11.0061.B03.
The problem I have most often when trying to wake is that the password dialog will come up, I'll enter my password, and then the MacBook will just go back to sleep! Sometimes the screen unlocks for a few seconds and then it goes back to sleep completely (i.e. backlight goes off), and sometimes the password dialog just goes away and I get the spinning beachball on a black screen indefinitely.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? Am I NOT actually running the latest firmware?

Try resetting the SMC (I would also repair permissions before and after - in disk utility)

Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep. I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down. Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success. They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens. They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine. They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file? I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead. But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files. That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
So, 2 questions:
Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
Thanks so much!
Chris

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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 the test.

Mac Pro restarts instead of waking from sleep

Since installing 10.5.6, my 8-core Mac Pro (early 2008) has lost the ability to wake from sleep. It seems to go to sleep pretty quickly (if a little faster than before), but when I wake it up by pressing a key on the keyboard, I hear the Mac startup chime and watch as it restarts.
I've manually shut down and booted up a few times now, and the sleep misbehavior continues.
Anyone else? My 10.5.6 MacBook has no problems waking from sleep, only the tower.
--Chris

Well, I thought this was resolved a couple of weeks ago after reading a suggestion that called for doing a controlled shutdown, then unplugging everything including power, waiting a minute, replugging only power, and starting up, using the power button on the front to sleep and wake up. It seemed to be waking instead of restarting, and was working normally for about three weeks.
As of today, I'm back to restarting when I try to wake. I have tried the unplug-everything trick again, and have zapped the PRAM multiple times (seriously, though, does that EVER work?). Nothing helps.
As mentioned above, I'm already on the BootROM version that EFI Update 1.3 provides, so that's not an option.
Thinking the next stop might be the Genius Bar, in hopes those guys have seen this.

New MBP BUG!!!!!? mag safe and waking from sleep..............

I have found that if you are running on battery power, and then put the computer to sleep, that if you plug in the mag safe power whilst the computer is asleepit will refuse to wake up and require restarting. Not a massive issue but i would be interested to see if anyone else is experiencing this small bug?

It is possible that the difficulty you are experiencing waking from sleep is related to the "safe sleep" feature. I, too, had some difficulty waking my MBP from sleep (though I didn't specifically notice any link between these difficulties and the power adapter). Since I disabled safe sleep, I have had no more problems waking from sleep.
Information about the safe sleep feature (which backs up open files and settings before your computer goes to sleep in case of a loss of power during sleep) is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302477
More information about safe sleep is found on at least two discussion posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546493&#1546493
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1136215&#1136215
Finally, to hit the key point of these two threads linked above, you can turn off safe sleep by opening Terminal and typing:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
I hope that helps!
Take care.

On my new iMac, mail has no sound after waking from sleep. If I select do not wake for network access in general preferences, the problem does not occur. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

On my new iMac, mail has no sound after waking from sleep. If I select do not wake for network access in general preferences, the problem does not occur. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks --

Same here on an older iMac since Lion. Thanks for the uncheck wake for network access tip though, it doesn't do it either in that case, I will leave it that way.

Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue. The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK. I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

IMac loses connection to network when waking from sleep

Hi There,
We are a small mixed environment of Macs and PCs running on a Windows 2008 domain. One of 2 iMacs that now run Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is having problems when waking from sleep. One of our designers will go for lunch and the machine will sleep for about 30 to 40 minutes. Upon her return the iMac will kick her off of the 3 shares she usually logs into (2 are on Win2008 machines, and 1 is a MacPro running 10.6.8 Server).
If she has files open in any of the Creative Suite Apps, the app will crash and she will have to restart the whole machine. If no files are open then she can usually reconnect to the shares after a short while. Obviously I told her not to leave any files open, but its causing her some headaches.
Its also creating srv errors (id 2012) on our domain controllers, when she tries to wake her machine.
This Imac is a late 2009, and we have a 2011 model that has no issues at all. Both are set exactly the same.
I have reset SMC, Pram, and rebinded to the domain, and searched through these forums quite a bit to no avail.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I am continuing to work on this issue, and have tried a number of things based on searching here and elsewhere.
And Lucky Me, I have been able to replicate this behavior on one of other Macs (imac 2011, on 10.8.5). I also see errors on 2 separate Windows file servers on the domain (Event ID: srv 2012).
Below I am posting what seems to be the relevant area of the log.

This is from the 2011 iMac, and I see something very similar to this on the 2009 machine.
I continue to think this is a software issue related to 10.8.5 and Adobe CS (CS5 on the 2009 machine and CS 5.5 on the 2011) as this appears to have come up only since the recent update.
Any help would be appreciated.

IMac G5 Dies When Waking From Sleep

I have a Rev A iMac G5 I bought in 2004. Recently it started doing some weird stuff when waking from sleep. After looking at some of the other posts, I think this is going to be repetitive, but I thought I would see if anyone had any suggestions
After either putting the computer to sleep or letting it go to sleep, it will frequently die after the mouse has been clicked to wake it up. I have tried resetting both the SMU and PRAM as well as repairing disk permissions and repairing the disk. None of this has seemed to help. Occasionally, I get lucky and am able to wake it from sleep normally, but this doesn't happen often. After it dies following the mouse click, I can unplug it and then plug it back in and it will start up normally. Interestingly, it will start up from shutdown normally as well as restart normally. Additionally, as long as it doesn't go to sleep, I think you can typically use it as long as you want and it won't quit.
Today, I took the back cover off and messed around with it for awhile. The diagnostic LED behavior seems odd to me. LED #1 comes on when it is plugged into the outlet. When following Apple's instructions for troubleshooting a computer that won't start up, mine does fine because as I said it will start up normally if you unplug it and then plug it back in. Because of this, I set my computer to go to sleep quickly with inactivity. Although it did wake normally at least once, it died numerous times. The irregularity seems to occur with LED #2. One time it "died", I believe LED #2 actually remained lit and something seemed to still be working based on noise. However, the green light for the "caps lock" button wouldn't come on. Other times LED #2 would go out when it died after pushing the mouse with it asleep. During these times, I could push the internal power button and LED #2 would briefly light up, but nothing more than that would happen. On more than one occasion I would then push the SMU reset button and then push the internal power button again at which point LED #2 would fail to come on at all. After pushing the power button (and occasionally pushing the SMU button again) what seemed to be a random number of times, the computer would all the sudden start up normally again.
My top 3 guesses are a failed power supply, failed logic board, or exhausted PRAM battery (I have never changed it). The first two may be a bit to pricey for me to consider replacing. If they are the problem, I may just settle for setting the computer to never sleep. Does this sound like it could be caused by the PRAM battery going out?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My bad on not reporting back sooner. Indeed, replacing the PRAM battery did not fix the problem. The situation seems odd to me as I was able to sometimes wake the computer from sleep without it quitting while others times it dies. It does fine as long as it doesn't go to sleep. I can start it up and shut it down with no problems; additionally, it appears to do fine even when left on for long periods of time as long as it doesn't go to sleep. To be correct it doesn't seem to so much be the state of "sleeping", but the act of trying to wake it up from sleep. I don't think ventilation is a problem.
What I have done is just set it to not sleep. We just shut it down once in awhile. Rather than forking out the money, I think I will just use this work around as long as it continues to work.
