Issues with waking up my computer from sleep mode

Hello, May someone help me with a problem im having. 2 days ago I downloaded the new Windows 10 and It seemed to run fine on my pc. However, when I put it on sleep mode and turn it back on, it stays on a blank screen. the screen dosnt even appear to be on (this is a laptop). I tried waiting about 5 minutes but still no dice. So I just held the power button to shut it down and i did. I turned it back on and it worked fine. But I dont like just shuting down my computer because I have to start all over and school starts soon and if im in the middle of an assingment and im interrupted, Ill have to put my PC on sleep, but if this problem continues, Ill have to start all over, please help ,e

I just tried unplugging my keyboard from the back of my display. My mouse is connected to my keyboard.
Now that I have them plugged back in they look like they aren't getting any power. The mouse laser is not lighting up.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Waking up a computer from sllep mode remotely.

    have 2 computers running 10.6.2 and set up remote management which works fine when both computers active. How do I access aone computer from the other when the one I want to access is asleep. Can I wake it remotely?

    if the computers are connected by a wired ethernet network you can do it using Wakeonlan.
    http://www.readpixel.com/wakeonlan/
    you need to make sure that in system preferences->energy saver you have
    the box to wake for ethernet network access checked.
    if both computers are new (really new) and you have a new time Capsule or an airport extreme base station then you can also do it using the new feature in snow leopard called "wake on demand".

  • Why does my computer tell me the "Disk was not properly ejected" when waking from sleep mode?

    I am a real "Newbie" to Mac OS. I have a new iMac 21.5" running OS X Lion. When I awake the computer from sleep mode with the spacebar on the keyboard, I get the message "The disk was not ejected proper, etc.". Iss there something I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Mike G.

    I am one of those who had experienced this kind of problem.  My former Time Machine disk used to automatically eject itself when my iMac sleeps, hence upon waking up my iMac. i always get the error message that the disk was not properly ejected.
    From what I was able to gather from my experience, until the time that I found a workable solution, I think I can say that the problem is most probably caused by the incompatibility of certain external drives with how the iMac operates when on sleep and upon waking up.  Some external drives are just not able to cope with how the iMac tries to remount a connected disk after it wakes up from sleep.  There are just some external drives that cannot continue to be mounted after the iMac wakes from sleep.  There are just some external drives that are not responsive enough. In other words, the existence of the problem lies with the type of external drive you are using.
    My former Time Machine disk, the problematic one, was an Imation M300 Apollo 1 TB external disk.  It unmounts everytime my iMac went to sleep, but does not remount after waking up the iMac.  The disk will continue to be unmounted until I physically remove its USB connector and replug it in the iMac.
    I replaced my former Time Machine disk with my current one, a Transcend Storejet 1 TB.  And the problem went away.  The Transcend disk continue to be mounted after the iMac is woken up even from the longest of sleep.  I have even the energy saving option "put the hard disk to sleep..." checked.  The Transcend disk comes with a Y cable, i.e. it has two USB connectors, but I only connect the one for both data and power--and it still remains mounted even after waking the iMac from sleep.
    The sad realization, however, is that since there are only some external drives that are not able to work with the iMac, no matter how many those some may seem to be, it will be highly unlikely for Apple to itself fix this kind of a problem.
    I, therefore, make the following recommendations:
    1.  Check first if your problematic disk has a firmware upgrade available.  In some cases, the firmware upgrade may be enough to make the disk more responsive to the iMac waking up.
    2.  If there is no firmware upgrade available, check if your power/data USB cable is properly working.
    3.  If your power/data USB cable is in order, and the problem still persists, I think it is inevitable that you have to replace the problematic disk with a newer one that could respond well with the iMac's wake/sleep operation.  With what disk will you replace your problematic one?  I can only recommend from my personal experience the Transcend disk I mentioned earlier.  You may also search this forum on other brands of disks that may also work.
    Regards.

  • Serious problems waking up my MacBook Pro from sleep mode

    I have quite frequent problems waking my MacBook Pro from sleep mode - often it results in either a black or a totally scrambled screen and only a hard reset will cure the problem (for this time). I have tried to pinpoint whether a certain program that I use last before putting the computer to sleep is responsible, but all attempts so far have failed. The error seems random, but is very annoying since one in about three or four wake-up actions are affected!
    I use Parallels Desktop during the day running Windows XP, and in the evenings I use mainly Safari and Mail under OSX. The only other program always open is Mori - a notes/information management tool.
    Anyone with similar problems? Any advice??
    Cheers,

    MacBook Pro 15   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello,
    I was browsing the 'downloads' section of the Apple support page and I saw a firmware update that might help you out.
    It is called the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2" and it is supposed to fix "several Boot Camp, start up, and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook Pro computers."
    The web address is ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html )
    If that doesn't fix it call Apple care.
    Good Luck.

  • Network issues after returning from sleep mode

    I'm noticing this issue on T440, Twists, T420s, whether it's Windows 8, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.  Sometime around the end of last year and the beginning of this year, my users suddenly started reporting problems with the machines after returning from sleep mode.  The network adapter (whether plugged in or using wifi), would show limited connectivity and would not connect to the internet until the machine is rebooted.
    I've tried updating drivers, using system restores, disabling the network adapters from shutting down to conserve power, OS network diagnosis & network adapter resets, none of which has worked.  Hibernation is disabled on all machines.
    The only fix I have is to reinstall the OS over the top of the system and reinstall all updates.  Looking for help with this issue.
    Thanks!
    Solved!

  • My imac has a gray screen when waking it up from sleep mode. about 9 months ago, I installed OS X Maverick.

    This is the second time this has happened, since installing OS X (9 mos. ago). (I can't recall the fix from the last incident.) Upon waking the pc up from sleep mode, I get a gray screen. Nothing works except using the Command and P & R keys to get to "reinstalling OS X", to no avail. What do I need to do to get it back to normal?
    My imac is a 21.5", mid 2011 item.

    Those keys do not reinstall OS X. To do that:
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Computer crashes when trying to awake from sleep mode

    Hi, the last few days when I'm trying to awake my computer from sleep mode I can't do it from the keyboard (as set by me). When I push the power button the computer awakes from an unexpected shutdown.
    Looking in the Event Viewer I see it logs the critical Kernel-Power event when the computer awakes from the shutdown.

    We do need the actual DMP file as they contain the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.  
    We prefer at least 2 DMP files to spot trends and confirm the cause.
    Please follow our instructions for finding and uploading the files we need to help you fix your computer. They can be found here
    If you have any questions about the procedure please ask
    If you are using Blue screen view, who crashed, or a similar application, don't.  They are wrong at least as often as they are correct

  • BT Keyboard Loses Connection When Waking from Sleep Mode

    I'm running Windows 7 on a late 2009 27" iMac and my Bluetooth keyboard keeps loses connection when I wake my computer from sleep mode. Usually the only way I can get it back is my resetting. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help would be great appreciated.

    If the MBP doesn't wake when you open the lid but does when you press any key afterward, do this:
    Applications > Utilities > Terminal
    Copy and paste the following text in the Terminal window:
    *sudo pmset lidwake 1*
    You'll be asked for your admin password. Type that in (Note: the password will not be displayed as you do so). Press Return, and quit the Terminal. Close the MBP, wait for it to sleep, and open it again. Does it wake now?
    If you want to change it back so the system doesn't wake when you open the lid, repeat the procedure, but this time type or paste:
    *sudo pmset lidwake 0*

  • External UCube speakers don't work after awakening from sleep mode since 10.7.5 upgrade

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.5 when I wake my computer from sleep mode...my external UCube speakers don't work unless I unplug them and plug them back in. I've already tried resetting the SMC. It recognizes and shows the speakers in the sound preferences...but no sound unless I reconnect the usb cable. Worked fine in 10.7.4
    Any ideas? Its ridiculous all the audio problems being reported.

    I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
    My solution:
    Cold start with Command-v pressed.
    This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
    What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
    Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
    Anyway: my mac mini works again.

  • I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode and have to restart the computer. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there

    I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • Issues with waking from "sleep" mode

    On a few occasions now and more often than not, after waking the computer from sleep - I get the Message "You need to restart your computer".

    Hi Eco,
    You are getting a Kernel Panic, which can be related to quite few things and only discoverable by eliminating all the options. Here's a few causes of Kernel Panics, bad RAM, peripheral driver conflicts, overheating and a few more obscure reasons that aren't worth mentioning now. The most common cause is RAM failure. Also, It's not unusual to have the hardware test come up with no faults when there clearly are faults.
    Do a web search Kernel Panics and see what further info you can come up with. There is a good explanation on the Mac support site, but you can find some better info from other sources.

Maybe you are looking for
