IPhoto 4.0 interferes with computer sleep mode?

It seems that when IPhoto 4.0 app is open, it interferes with automatic sleep mode. I've narrowed it down to iPhoto by trial and error. Any thoughts on correcting this issue?
My thanks

I can't be more clear because I don't know what the problem is. My iPhoto is just not behaving the way it should. This is my second Mac with OS X and I know two ways to create a new Library and the results are the same in both senarios...
I have tried to create a Library by doing what you suggested. I get the box that says my iPhoto Library was not found. If I click "Create Library", it asks "save as" and "where" then iPhoto opens and says "Loading Photos" but never does (and will create an iPhoto Library with the "Library.iPhoto" and "Thumb32.data" docs).
The same thing happens when I try to create a new Library by starting iPhoto while holding the option key.
My first post indicated the one thing that worked was to login as a new user. I was asking what the next step was because I thought there was a next step to that process. Guess not?

Problem with its sleep mode...

Whenever it wakes up from sleep mode all the files which where open earlier are closed and not visible on screen? And it also at times it takes time to wake up?.... Please help!

Hi there @Ettu
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
I understand that you are having some problems with sleep mode on your notebook. I am happy to help with this.
Please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following, if you need help with that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I think the best bet would be t to take a look through the following. It is possible that somewhere along the line a change was made to your power schemes, or preferences for Sleep Mode. These should help with that.

Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
Any ideas guys?

Problems after sleep mode with wifi connection

I got my first iMac the other week but i keep having problems after it has gone into Sleep Mode.
Once i log back in to use my iMac again i can't seem to go online =and have lost connectivity with emails etc. Its showing that i'm still connected to my wifi and the only way to fix it is to restart.
I have already connect chat support about this and the made me reset my PRAM and reset the systems management controller (SMC)
Does anyone have any ideas??

Personally I don't let the computer sleep, I set the display to sleep. This has the same net effect and in the 8+ years I have been using OS X I have never had a problem. Set the Computer's sleep setting to Never and set the display sleep to the amount of time you had the computer sleep set at.
However if you want to try with computer sleep instead of display sleep check if the wake for network access box is checked. If it already is they your issue is likely somewhere else.

My macbook is two and half year old, going to sleep mode randomly

Having used this Macbook for almost two and half years, my machine has suddenly generated the problem of going to random sleep. It started as an infrequent thing, then it started happening on a regular basis, to the point that it became almost impossible to work with it. When the computer goes to sleep mode, it doesn't wake up with any key, it has to be woken up by pressing the power button lightly.
Here are the steps I took:
1. The normal thing I did was search Apple Forum and then reset SMC, PRam, then changed energy saving options, everything. Nothing worked.
2. Ran the hardware test and no problems found.
3. Ran the Macbook with all options: with just the battery, without the Magsafe connected, with Battery and Magsafe connected together, with battery removed and the computer running on Magsafe only. Random Sleep continues
4. Thought must be a connection issue and ran to Apple Store in Kolkata, India, thinking that it could be a connection issue with the sleep-mode cable. Apple Store kept the Macbook for seven days, saying that they needed to check the machine, returned it on the seventh day saying that the machine was fine and charged me Indian Rupee 1,500/- (about $ 34). I came back home and the problem persists.
(Here I would like to add that Apple Service in Kolkata *****, probably ***** all over India, simply because Apple is not a major player in this country. The service engineer at Apple Store was at a loss with my problem and after seven days could only say, "We have done our internal tests and found no problem with your Macbook." When I asked about the Sleep Mode sensor connection, he said, "That is working fine, we have checked that.")
5. After coming back home, I faced the same problem, this time with lesser time gap. It would go off to sleep every one minute or so. I decided to set my computer on "never to sleep mode" in the enery saving option. Alas, that didn't help either.
6. I redid the hardware check, only to find that my computer hasn't detected any hardware problem.
7. Now, as a previous Windows user, I thought that the problem must have been with the OS. So, at the risk of losing all my files, I decided to reload the OS. (My original OS DVD was Leopard, but it was later upgraded to Snow Leopard by the vendor free of cost). I took backup in Time Machine, and backed up the documents in another Disk and reloaded the OS. All seemed fine so far, for about 10 minutes. I was now confident that finally I could solve the problem and was then planning to migrate my previous files to my newly loaded OS-X. Alas, I was wrong. Before I could connect the external HDD to my computer, my Macbook went back to its previous trick of falling asleep.
I'll definitely take back my Macbook to Apple Care tomorrow, but with my experience here in Kolkata, don't know whether they would be able to solve anything. Last time I had to show them the posts in Apple Forum to prove that Random Sleep is a problem that happens to Macbook.
PS: My Macbook is with aluminium body bought in January 2009. Out of warranty. My optical drive conked off long ago (after about 15 months or so after I bought the Macbook) and I live with an external drive.

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 the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. 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.

My mac shuts down in prolonged sleep mode "because of a Problem".

If my mac book pro mid 2012 goes to sleep for a prolonged period of time I have to reboot it as hard start and get a message indicating that it shut down because of an problem. How Do I fix this?
I had my mother board tested at a mac shop in Nepal while I was there and it came back as everything being perfect.
It does not always do this though and for short sleeps it never does.
I have had extensive changes done to this mac such as a 16GB Ram upgrade and replacing the hard drive with a 1 T Crucial Hard Drive and removing the DVD Player and adding in a 256 Solid State Drive. So far everything has been working great. Just recently I notice this occuring with the sleep mode so as a result I just shut down the computer fully when I am not near to it or using it. Any advice as to what to look at or try out.

godlovestodance,
your Mid 2012 needs 1600 MHz memory modules. Is your currently installed RAM of this variety?
In your current setup, is it your 1 TB HDD or your 256 GB SSD that is in the optical drive bay?
One thing you can try is this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still crash because of an extended sleep?

Issue X200s and ultrabase : sounds beep in sleeping mode

hello all,
My problem consist in desactivation of beep sounds when i plug my computer Lenovo X200s in docking station after sleep mode. description of problem :
-My computer is plugged in docking station,
-I activate the sleep mode,
-I undock my computer,
-I dock my computer and push the start button.
At this time, computer beep very strongly and the only one solution is to undock the computer.
I just have this problem with the sleep mode.
If i do the same with a lenovo T400, i don't have the problem. Anyone have an idea to stop this beep (i'm sure that is a security but we prefer no sound rather than this one!! ;-)
For your information, I already check windows power settings and lenovo power setting but I dind't find anything!!
Best regards;-)

the option to enable/disable power-status-change beeps is in the BIOS of the X200... somewhere.
press the Thinkvantage button at startup when the screen says it is suitable to do so, and then follow the on-screen instructions to access the BIOS.
if you have configured a BIOS password, you may need to enter it.
i am currently insufficiently motivated to shut down my X200 to look for the options menu location. if you need help, please ask and then i'll look for it.

Sleep issue on windows 8.1: pc doesn't wake once it's in sleep mode

I just bought a new pc, an acer aspire E1-572G, and today I installed windows 8.1. But now I am having a problem that seems to be general, from what I am readind. The problem is with the sleep mode, which once activated, I can't return to windows, unless
I foce reboot.
What can I do to solve this issue?
Thanks!

Hi,
Generally speaking, this problem should be caused by hardware driver problem. Such as Graphic driver, NIC driver, etc. Please check computer driver edition, make sure they are compatibility with Windows 8.1.
Actually, I made a search on Acer official site, the model of your computer doesn't have all hardware driver provided for Windows 8.1. Such as Graphic driver. You can refer to the link below for more details.
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers
In my opinion, it would be better to contact ACER, to check whether this serial computer had the same problem with yours.

Freezing PB whenever sleep mode

I have had to disable the auto sleep mode for everything, even the hard drives because whenever the computer goes to sleep it will freeze when you try to wake it up. Upon waking, the screen comes back but it seems that no matter what you try to do it will not work. The mouse works but when you click and icon in the taskbar it will only bounce like it is opening but nothing happens. The only way to exit is to hold the power button for 5+ seconds and restart. With the sleep modes disabled, the computer runs fine.
Anyone heard of this?
Thanks - Jim

I'm having the same problem, my PowerBook G3 Firewire (AKA Pismo) keeps freezing whenever it wakes from sleep mode. Except in my case, it seems to only happen when I've got the (wireless) notebook adapter in place. I've got a D-Link Rangebooster G, model WNA-2330. I've been using OrangeWare's Wireless Driver for Mac v3.3; it's been at the same version for at least a couple of years and I've used it with both my Wallstreet PowerBook and this Pismo one.
I've tested the hardware using the Apple Hardware Test and Rember (a GUI-wrapped version of Memtest), and everything tests out okay. Following a thread here, I added a new Admin account to test with, and the problem still occurs when I'm logged in with that "clean" account. Again, it seems to only happen when I've got the (wireless) notebook adapter in place.
One thing I'll also add, in case it helps: Since I've switched to using the PowerBook, I've found that the (wireless) notebook adapter is not always recognized (as indicated in the Wireless Configuration panel installed by OrangeWare's Wireless Driver.) I don't know if this is a problem with the Wireless Driver software (which I'm checking with OrangeWare to find out about) or with my Mac's software or with my PowerBook's hardware or with my notebook adapter or what, but this issue never occurred in my Wallstreet.

GT70 BSOD or Stuck after Windows puts it to sleep mode of turns off monitor

Hi Everyone!
i have an issue (or 2) with my laptop.
both happens when:
1) whenever i put the laptop into sleep mode or either windows does so automatically (inactive period), - the laptop will go to sleep just fine.
2) windows turns off monitor after a period of inactivity. (sleep mode due to inactivity was disabled in this case)
in both the cases i mentions above, if i wake the computer within lets say 5 minutes, it'll turn on just fine.
but after a certain period of time passes it wont.
with the sleep mode, the computer will wake and will then produce a BSOD STOP error 0x4 and restart.
with monitor turned off it'll simply wont turn on, not responding to neither keyboard, mouse or power button. - i have to do a hard reboot
any ideas?
anything i can check?
note the laptop just came back from a warranty repair, so all parts have been tested and been found ok!
system specs:
MSI GT70-0ND
CPU: Intel Core i7-3630QM 2.4GHz (Intel GPU HD 4000 included)
Memory: 16GB DDR3
Storage: 750GB HDD 7200rpm
128GB SSD (Patriot Pyro SE) - OS installed on this.
GPU: 4GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 675MX
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Thanks in Advance!!

i dont think i have the same problem as in the other thread.
my bios:
my laptop doesnt restart when my screen is turned off and i try to wake it. it would simply wont wake up.
and my BSOD happens only after i wake the laptop from sleep mode and only if it been in sleep mode for a while. meaning i if i wake it up within a few mins of going to sleep it'll boot justfine.

Sleep and very deep sleep mode.

Just got a new 27' iMac and something seems wrong with the sleep mode.
When the iMac is not used for between 10 minutes to 6 hours it goes into a sleep mode where moving the mouse or typing a key brings it to life within a few seconds and the screen looks the way it was when the iMac went to sleep.
HOWEVER if I leave the iMac for longer i.e. overnight then moving the mouse does nothing, I have to type on the keyboard. This starts the iMac waking up but it goes through a full boot-up i.e. grey screen and apple logo etc. The same type of boot up as when you push the power button on.
Is this correct, as my older iMac 24' just goes into the light sleep.
Is this correct for the newer hardware or is something wrong.
Thanks

all set to default,
surely hdd sleep will occur fairly soon ie after an hour, this deep sleep only occurs after about 10 hours.
I am the only user so I don't have a log in screen, (I hope i am understanding you correctly)
whatever was open when you finished is lost after the deep sleep, the same as if you have turned it off but the only difference is that the keyboard wakes it up, no need to press the rear mounted power switch.
Thanks

GX630 and Vista x64 Ultimate Sleep Mode

I have MSI GX630 and having trouble to wake my notebook after sleep mode at Vista x64 Ultimate Sp1 edition
When my notebook goes to sleep mode everything ok.power led is blinking.When I press Power Button fan starts wireless led is ok but screen is black.And I m not able to start system till I unplug/plug AC and Battery
Msi Service in Turkey checked my notebook.they unpluged/pluged motherboards battery to reset bios ( I think :D )and flashed bios back to 1.02 ( i was using 1.05 ).But same result.They said they don't have any idea:)
There is no problem in 32 bit vista home edition
I tried many Vga drivers.Now using moded 181.20
I tried all bios versions released on msi website.
All other drivers are up to date.
There are lots of users having same problem
I will be glad if anyone can help me.
Thanks

They wouldn't, not officially. NVIDIA started to support gamers with laptops and will do it in future, regularly. But the real problem is, that most of other vendors have their GPUs supported in those drivers and MSI doesn't, it's completely missing NVMI.INF file. Note, that there is no universal INF file, but many of them named after vendors according to the NVIDIA's filename scheme.
But beta status has not to do with the fact those drivers are working and MSI products simply aren't there.
Other side of the issue is, that MSI is selling so called gaming laptops and didn't updated the drivers since, well, July 2008 (GX630, ForceWare 176.10) or September 2008 (GX620, Forceware 176.60). It just cannot keep up with game releases and bug fixes for new games included in every ForceWare release. This kind of support is simply not enough for the respective audience.
Don't understand me wrong - the products are excellent and even my brother just ordered GX630.
Back to the issue - guys, try to use newer drivers for GX620 if you have MSI laptop with NVIDIA - and yes, even when it's not GX620. All NVIDI GPU's should be supported, check the list:

Those are probably the newest official NVIDIA drivers from MSI.
Other thing you can try to deal with the sleep mode issue is to disable PowerMizer in driver's control panel. I cannot try it by myself (have only ATI and Intel VGA here), but found it on LaptopVideo2Go site.

Laptop won't go to sleep mode and shut down properly.

hello, My name is Atul and i upgraded my laptop hp pavilion 15-p017tu from win 8.1 to win 10 on 29h july. My laptop was working great before the upgrade and before upgrading i updraded ( updated ) all the drivers and windows too. so, after the upgrade i have been facing the same problem which has been shared by many peple here..i.e win doesn't go to sleep mode. In my case when ever i put the sys to sleep mode, the screen turns off but the power button doesn't blinks and i can't go back to the normal mode by using mouse curser or pressing the power button back. I have to physically shut down the system by pressing the power button for 5 seconds. Also, my system won't shut down properly and it is the same as the sleep mode probem. I have contacted the customer care of microsoft and hp both and they did some setting changes but the problem keeps coming back. I have also told by the hp care that they will take atleast a month or two to fix this as this may be due to hardware not supporting the current driver so this might take time. They also told me to just downgrade to win 8.1 and after sometime when this poblem is fixed i can again install and upgrade win 10. If any of you guys know how to fix this problem do share it here. thanks!!

Hi ,

Update the driver. Select the Automatically search for updated drivers.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating after Windows 10 upgrades . I hope this helps. Thanks.

HP M125rnw sleep mode problem

Hello Sorry for my English. I recently purchased a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M125rnw.I installed the printer using the ethernet connection. I can't solve the problem with printer sleep mode. After a long stay in sleep mode, the printer refuses to print: 1. I can't print from a PC with Windows 7
2. I can't print from a PC with Ubuntu 14.10
3. I can print reports using the WEB interface
4. Turning off/turning on the printer solves the problem for some hours Is it a problem with the printer hardware?

When it goes to sleep go to the menu on the printer and see if you can press any buttons to bring it out of sleep mode. If you can, then the issue is probably with the driver you are using. If you can not wake the printer with the button, then you have a hardware issue and the formatter is probably defective.
