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.
    I have an original X-

    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.

    When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected.  It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

    Had the same issue and finally solved it.  After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
    Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved.   Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
    BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
    ***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
    New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when connect the charger my ipad2 is not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

    ipad2 shut off after down the battery but when i connect the charger with my ipad2,  its not storing the power in the battery and i also not finding the error code ???

    If you drained the battery, it may take a bit for it to come back. I'd plug it in and leave it for a few hours and see if it's charging.
    If not, you can try to do a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the white apple, let go and let it reset and see if it charges.
    It's also possible that your battery has reached the end of its life. THey can only handle a finite amount of recharge cycles. If you can't get it to hold a charge, then make an appointment at your local apple store and explore your other options.

  • "Connecting to the network is taking longer than usual" message after I wake my computer from sleep

    Connecting wirelessly after waking computer from sleep yields the message "connecting to the network is taking longer than usual".  This only occurs after sleep, it also does not allow it to autoconnect like when starting the computer up.  All
    drivers seem to be up to date and happens at more than one wireless location, home and school.  I have a windows 7 opperating system.

    I just had the same problem with my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop.
    I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling my Intel Centrino Wireless Network adapter (but I did not delete the driver).  I did this by right-clicking My Computer, Manage, Device Manager, expanded the Network Adapters group, and right-click the
    Wireless Network Adapter and click Uninstall.  I recommend that you reboot once this is done.
    My laptop now connects to Wifi immediately after waking the laptop from sleep.
    This is what finally resolved my problem. Sony Vaio with 64bit Windows 7. Wireless would sometimes take up to 3 minutes after Windows started to connect. After following these instructions, I first removed all wireless networks, then from the System Control
    Panel I deleted (along with the driver) the Wireless Adapter. I then installed a fresh driver directly from the maker (not OEM). 
    I now connect to Wifi immediately after booting or waking from hibernation.
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Does the 5th gen iPod also come with the fingerprint ID scan ?

    Does the 5th gen iPod also come with the fingerprint ID scan ?

    All the lock schemes on iOS devices are just "privacy locks." If a determined individual with any degree of competence and resources has physical access or control of your iOS device, you're screwed.  For example, there are devices in the hands of law enforcement that can read the data off a "locked" iOS device almost instantly. You can bet there are dishonest people who have access to similar equipment.
    Your real security in this kind of situationi is not to lose your device.  It's a lot like keeping track of your wallet.  If you lose it, you're in trouble, but we're pretty good at keeping track of this kind of thing. Not perfect, but pretty good.
    In other words, the fingerprint scanner is fine, and more convenient.

  • Have a macbook with the old fashioned trackpad. Sometimes when I am typing, it seems like someone clicks my trackpad. I have set my macbook up to where you have to press the trackpad button instead of just tap the track pad. Any ideas?

    Sometimes during the "old-fashion" macbooks there is different feelings in the way you control it. Take it to the apple store and I am Pretty sure they can tell you what is going on and if it is "Time for a Upgrade".

    I read somewhere that all the ports of a switch will participate in STP by default. Is there any way to remove the STP operation on host ports ?
    Regards,
    Chandu       

    All ports participate in Spanning Tree by default.
    Spanning tree is there to block redundant L2 paths in order to prevent loops. All ports are capable of causing a loop so you would not want to turn spanning tree off, in fact I don't think you can switch it off on a per port basis. You can switch it off on a per vlan basis.
    You are already using portfast which allows host ports to transition into a forwarding state without going through the listening and learning states of STP. If you switch off STP on a port, you risk the chance of a L2 loop.

  • Change "require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver"

    Does anyone know how to change the checkbox in sys prefs > security > require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver via cli?

  • How to wake up opened MacBook from sleep -x only external display running

    How to wake up opened MacBook from sleep - only external display running? I dont shut down my MacBook and I am using only external monitor. Lid closed it is not good idea, sometimes is MacBook and main MacBook display to warm. So I must six times per day open and close my MacBook. Any solutions?

    Sure, the added heat sink and dissipator will help. Although a gel pad has a lot of heat capacity, meaning it has the ability to absorb a lot of heat, eventually it will saturate with heat from the MB and reach a point of stasis. Then it gets rid of heat the same way the Mac does, namely radiation and conduction into other things around and in contact with it, including air. Of course the Mac has a fan if it needs it. The gel pad doesn't.
    If the gel pad is sitting on a metal surface, like a steel file cabinet or something like that, it helps to drain the heat away from the pad, and by extension, the Mac. The aluminum cookware worked like that. I had heat capacity of its own, but more importantly, it added to the surface area that was performing convection cooling. So, yes, both together give a better result.

  • Wake computer from sleep & sync iDisk?

    I'm wanting to wake my computer from sleep & sync my iDisk at a set time in the day. Does anyone know if it would be possible, & if so how?
    I thought if it could be done with AppleScript (wake & sync the iDisk) I could set iCal to run the script at a set time while sleeping which would wake the computer & run the script.

    Your script will not run while the machine is idle, so you have to have some other process effect the wake up. This can be scheduled through System Preferences -> Energy Saver, or through the command line pmset, but you can't just have your AppleScript running in the background and expect the machine to wake on its own.
    So you need to get a script to run your backup, and some other process (e.g. iCal) to start that script at the appropriate time.
