It's not broken. Don't put your computer to sleep manually and do change your Sleep settings on the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences. Your entire system can operate without interuption when "Put the display to sleep" is activated, so that time can be shortened while you lengthen the amount of time the computer will be awake to something more convenient - or set it to "never."

  • Wi-Fi Connection lost in sleep mode

    After upgrading to 3.0, my Wi-Fi connection is lost as soon the iPhone gets into sleeping mode. After unlocking the connection doesn't wake up. New Bug?

    there's now an option to Auto-Join each specific network. It might default to no for your wifi network. Just clock on the blue arrow next to the network name and tell it to Auto-Join.

  • Wireless Connection Lost in Sleep Mode

    I connect to the Internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station and a Toshiba cable modem. It worked fine since I bought it in February, but in the past couple of days, my Powerbook loses the connection with the Airport whenever it goes into Sleep Mode and I have to go back into System Preferences and reselect the Base Station to regain it.
    I've tried resetting the Airport preferences and turning off the computer to reboot. I've also reset the Base Station itself.
    Any suggestions?

    Let's see. So you bought 250mb data and ran thru it, then purchased unlimited.
    People seem to not understand a few things. First, 250mb of data is nothing. If you are not a "techie type" perhaps you should have researched exactly what you can do with 250mb. Ten images from my Nikon are OVER 250mb. Second, you paid 15 bucks for 250mb data and as I said, ran thru it. You got your 15$ worth of data. What do you want refunded??
    Third, then instead of waiting until your month was up and you got another allotment of 250mb you didn't want to wait and chose to go on the unlimited plan. That plan started that day and will last for 30 days. What exactly do you feel should be refunded? The 250 you used, or the unlimited which you plan to use?
    So to recap:
    1. You have no idea how much data you can stream for 250mb.
    2. You paid for 250mb data and used 250mb data.
    3. You then paid for unlimited data, which is your current situation.
    4. You then called Apple (which has nothing to do with AT&T billing) and are now mad because no other cell phone provider has the micro sim AND come here to trash the "techie type" who honestly answered your question.

  • Connection lost after sleep mode

    When my computer comes out of sleep mode, it's not connecting to the Airport wireless connection.  Waiting doesn't seeme to matter...the icon on my iMac (upper right on screen) shows no connection.  I have to manually turn off Airport and turn it back on to get it to connect (turning it off and on using the icon).
    I have made zero changes to my system, other than that we moved to a new home.  No equipment changes...no settings changes.  What the heck is going on to cause it to no longer connect when coming out of sleep mode?  And more importantly, how do I fix that?  Thanks very much!

    Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
    1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
    1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
    Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
    Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
    1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
    System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
    Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
    Restart or log out then back in.
    2. Move System Configuration Files
    (Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
    Go to /Library/Preferences
    Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
    Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

  • Bluetooth connection lost after sleep mode

    I'm using a bluetooth keyboard with my iPhone. It works great. However, if the phone goes into sleep mode, it does not keep the connection and I have to re-establish the connection through settings each time. Is there a way to keep the connection or have it automaticaly reconnect?

    I use the Apple bluetooth. When I sleep my iPad it actually puts the keyboard to sleep. Probably to save the batteries. When I wake the iPad, I still have to go to the Bluetooth and reconnect via the iPad. The keyboard automatically turns back on so I don't have to power it on. I think that is the best you could hope for.

  • Wireless Internet connectivity lost after sleep

    I've got a problem where I keep losing my wireless network connection after going to sleep.
    The situation is that I'm connecting to my university's secure network. I have the credentials saved on my MacBook. When I need to go and leave my computer on my desk, I go back to the login window, and close the lid. When I come back and open it again, I'm instantly asked for the network password, at the login screen. Regardless of whether I enter it or dismiss the dialog, I'm unable to get a connection automatically after I resume my user session. There's an exclamation mark on the network icon and it says that there's no internet connection on the menu. When I click on this warning, I'm asked to repair the network connection and re-connect to it. This works, but I'd much rather that this be done automatically. Is there no way for me to resume connectivity after waking up my MacBook without having to manually re-connect?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    The problem's still happening in 10.6.2. I lose my Internet connection when I go back to the login window, then close the lid on my MacBook so that it goes to sleep. When I awake it, and log back in, I'm shown as being connected to the network, but not to the Internet. I have to manually re-connect.
    When I just close the lid without exiting to the login window, it appears that my Internet connection is re-established automatically, though, on re-awakening. I'm puzzled as to why this is occurring. It looks like a bug to me.

  • Airport connection lost after sleep mode

    Hello everbody,
    Each time I send my PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867 to sleep it won't to connect to my (or rather to any) Airport network anymore after waking up, it just seems as if Airport is completely defunct after waking up.
    My iBook G4 works without any problems on the same network, by the way.
    I know the workaround with restarting IPv4 networking (described here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1122310&#1122310) and I have also created an AppleScript for automatising this process, however I am still wondering, if this issue will ever be addressed by Apple, since it is still present for me in 10.4.6.
    Best regards,
    Björn Wilmsmann

    Okay, this might not solve your problem, but I had a similar problem when I switched from WPA2 to WEP on my Airport, therefore also changing the password which again somehow got my Powerbook confused.
    I went into System Preferences > Network > Airport and looked at my "Preferred Networks" list (Not "By default, join..." > "Automatic"). Then I edited my airport network in that list (the small "Edit" button) and I saw that the password somehow was corrupted. When I corrected this error my Powerbook began joining automatically after sleeping again. Strangely, this setting has nothing to do with the Keychain Access, even though you can find your base station's password there too...
    Oh, and I might add: My airport is on a closed network and is therefore not "visible"...

  • My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

    Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

    There is no output from that command line?   Maybe the pid changed.
    I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
    1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
    2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
    3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
    It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
    But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

  • Why is wifi connection lost after sleep/wake mode?

    I've had this iMac a little over a year and had not experienced this until a few days ago.  Every time my computer comes out of sleep mode the wifi is no longer connected.  I must turn it off wifi and turn it back on again to re-establish a connection.  Any suggestions? Thx!

    Hello tim290,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like after the computer wakes from sleep it does not connect to the internet. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity - Apple Support
    Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
    After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
    After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    Choose Network from the View menu.
    Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
    Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
    Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
    Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
    Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
    Click OK and close the Network preferences.
    Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
    Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
    Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
    Restart your computer.
    Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Lost Bluetooth Connection when in Sleep-Mode

    Hey,
    when i have three devices hooked up with bluetooth to my 2009 27" imac (keyboard, magic mouse, magic trackpad) it randomly looses its bluetotth connection.
    so i have no possibility to type my password to log in.
    it mostly happens when the mac is in sleep-mode for longer period of time like over night or so.
    i have to restart the system with on/off-button which realy ***** ...
    does somebody have the same probs? or better a solution?
    thanks in advance...

    My 3gs disconnects from my wi-fi at night while plugged into my wall charger causing my AT&T data usage to go over my 200mb plan. I like to listen to a radio app overnight and this situation is quite annoying. AT&T forgave the overage but had NO solution to my paltry wi-fi delimma. I am going to try the "sync while connected to wi-fi" setting in I-Tunes but I am almost afraid to try it again because the overage may not be forgiven this time and It's not worth the hassle. I have been using my Macbook instead for this duty with no worries of an overage. I'm also a Pandora fan and this has limited me to just using my I-Tunes library for music instead of Pandora. This is a problem that benefits AT&T and I'm sure they bill for LOTS of overages because of this problem. I hope the I-Tunes solution will FIX this glitch.

  • Server connections are lost after sleep mode with Mavericks.

    Ever since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, when I "wake" my iMac after putting it in Sleep mode, the network connections have disconnected and I have to re-connect all of them (6) every day. This never happened with Mountain Lion or any other previous version of OS X. Is there a fix for this?

    I've also noticed this problem. Brand new MBP with Mavericks, goes to sleep, on wakeup all my network drives are disconnected, as is Outlook 2011. None of them recover gracefully - I have to manually reconnect. Aggravating..

  • My iPad loses it's ability to connect to the internet after awaking from sleep mode. Needs to be rebooted to reconnect.

    My iPad loses it's ability to reconnect to the wifi after sleep mode often times, but not always. It is very annoying because it requires a reboot to reconnect. It is running the latest iOS software update. I have also reset network settings to the factory defaults. My wifi is working fine, and all other devices in my house have no issues at all.

    Well, I think I have finally come up with a solution. It seems this issue happens when it auto locks. I turned auto lock to "never" in settings, and the issue has not happened since. Seems there may be a bug in this feature???
    I now use manual lock, and upon awakening the wifi is now fully working.

  • Macbook air keeps disconnecting from internet when going to sleep mode

    New macbook air keeps losing Internet connection when going into sleep mode. Have tried deleting and re adding network and adding DNS 8.8.8.8 still is disconnecting.
    Also, since Lion update 2 days ago Internet is very sluggish
    HELPPPPPP!!!

    You're not the only one.  See here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3704539?start=0&tstart=0
    The current fix is to turn off sleep mode or use an Ethernet cable.

  • 10.7.3 issues with reconnecting to the Internet after waking from sleep mode?

    My iMac worked great until this last update. Now it does not connect to the internet after I wake it from sleep mode. Any fixes?

    I have a similar issue.  My connection has been rock-solid since we went to Uverse, and now my computer loses the internet every 60-90 minutes or so. Driving me nuts.  iPhone still on wireless router to internet, so problem seems to be computer.
