Losing Songs after Deep Sleep - still happening

I thought my issue with the Song Library disappearing had magically fixed itself, but it has returned. Three times in the past week the library has been empty when turning on my 20GB iPod. I don't think it had even been 36 hours since the last time I used it.
The reset option does not work in this instance for me. Everything shows backup as soon as I connect via the USB cable.
The previous posts on this issue have all been closed. Is this still happening for other users or is there a fix? I am running version 1.2.1.
My next thing to try is a total reformat to see if that helps.
Thanks.

I had this same problem and finally went back and reinstalled version of iPod updater 2005-03-23. I purchased by photo ipod last February and it worked fine until I updated with 2005-6-6-26 version, and then it started the problem with the music disappearing and needing to hook it back to my Mac so the music would show up. It does appear to be corrupting the directory, because the music is still on the iPod, but it does not display as being there on any of the munus.
I am currently running version 1.2.1 of the iPod updates, and it does lock up from time to time, but I can easily do a manual reset, and the tunes are still there.
I have not run the updates because each time it causes the same problem to come back.

IPod gets stuck when it starts play mostly after deep sleep

Hi,
I have a problem with my 60G Video iPod:
Most of the times it gets stuck completely when I start use it after deep sleep (it hasn't been used for night etc.).
The problem is very consistent:
1. I turn it on.
2. Start playing some song.
3. See the 'normal' play screen (song timer is 0:0)
4. Hear spinning and clicks of hard drive and ....
5. It just freezes: doesn't response to any key (including Hold)
Only Reset helps now and when I generally get Folder icon with exclamation point and
it needs at least another reset to be able use it.
I updated iPod to the last version (1.1) - doesn't help.
It passed through Restore - same results: Every second turning on it gets stuck.
Does anybody have/know about similar behavior?
I think I have to ask Yeda for help?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Have you tried this, even though the folder isn't always there?

SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep

SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 13 inches (9,2).
I run it with 16GB of ram and OSX 10.8.4
I replaced the internal HD with an Adata SX-910 model (512GB) SSD.
(http://us.adata-group.com/index.php?...cid=3&piid=183)
It runs really fast! Boot time is 10 seconds! :-)
However I have a major problem! When I MacBook Pro will end the battery energy and will go below 3 percent, the Mac will go to sleep itself. When I will start back the Mac, with the power connected, every time I will see the desktop colors corrupted and the menu of Apple Safari, Apple Mail and few others gone! Only solution is to re-install Mac OSX!
I took the Mac to an Apple center and Apple did NOT find any problem with the Mac itself. I have returned the Adata to the vendor and got a new one (with latest firmware).... However I have discovered that the problem is happening again! :-(
I have tried to use Insomnia smartspleep tool, but does not work as expected.I think that only solution is to re-charge the battery before it goes below 3 percent.....
please note: using the trim enabler tool did NOT solved the issue:-(
Any suggestion?
Maybe it is indeed an issue related only to Adata SSD? I am confused and frustrated.

Clinton,
Apple hibernation has three modes. By default, on laptops it suspends the system and make a copy of RAM to disk for a completely safe hibernate. When you have 8 Gigabytes of RAM it takes twenty or thirty seconds to write that RAM image. I suspend/resume often during my day and don’t want to wait. This has worked really well for me.
You can change the Mac’s hibernate behavior using pmset; here’s the reference for it:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pmset.1. html
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0″ = suspend to RAM only (default on desktops)
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1″ = suspend to disk only
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3″ = suspend to disk + RAM (default on laptops)
How can I set my MacBook Pro to go into deep sleep, I guess it is mode 0, BEFORE the 3 minutes remaing time? I think to be safe, it should go to deep sleep automatically when it is around 15 percent batter level.....

Songs seem lost after deep sleep

After I wake my iPod Photo from deep sleep, none of the songs show in the menus. The only way to fix this is connecting it to my iBook. This is ofcourse very irritating, because I don't always have my iBook with me. I have updated the iPod recently but it doesn't help. I haven't always had this problem.
Does someone recognise this and knows what to do?

Macbook Pro Retina Mountain lion freezes after deep sleep

Hello All,
I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Since about January time It keeps crashing after I put it into a deep sleep. After closing the lid - waiting for 1 hour or so - then reopening the lid, i get presented with the normal Apple login screen (breifly) and then it crashes and i get a grey screen saying my mac has had an issue and it needs to restart.
When i log back on i get an error message that I can send onto Apple and then my Mac carries on as normal. Very weird.
I have searched these forums, been into the Apple store, spoken to Apple done hardware diagnostics, reinstalled the OS (worked breifly then stopped working again) - so i assume its one of the programs or bits of hardware that i use (which i have tried to isolate/remove)- but i am still strugling to solve these issues.
It would be great if someone could give me some advice around:
1. Where I can find these log files/error messages, etc.
2. Understanding what it is causing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
Hope this helps.

Keyboard works intermittently after deep sleep

Hi,
when my Macbook Pro comes back from deep sleep (i.e. if battery went out during the night, with the mac in sleep), the keyboard first works just long enough for me to log in, then starts working intermittently, like for 15seconds periods every 5 minutes or so.
The only solution is to reboot my computer.
10.5.1 didn't solve the problem.
That problem is a definite showstopper. It renders my computer unusable.

I turned off deep sleep 2 months ago and still had the missing first key stroke problem.
then upgraded to 10.5 then had the total keyboard freeze. seemed to happen more on battery power. repaired disk permission and the freeze has stopped but still random missing keystrokes it seems to happen most in highlighted dialog boxes. turning off bluetooth helped with erratic track pad when waking from sleep

Charging Problem after Deep Sleep

Hey
All works fine but, when i wake up my MacBook from the Deep Sleep Mode, it seems, that my MacBook doesn´t know, if the MacSafe is plugged in or not.
Normally, when you plug in the MacSafe, in the menu bar the batterie status goes to "charging". But after the Deep Sleep Mode, my MacBooks doesn´t know, that i turn off the MacSafe. All the time, it shows the status, "charged" in the menu bar.
So the Problem is, that my MacBook doesn´t show the right charging status in the menu bar. So i
don´t know, how the batterie status is.
That´s very strange.
Somebody who can help me?

if you haven't already try listing your problem in the Powerbook forum. Sounds like its most likely an issue with the PB.
Also, have you tried putting the ipod in different settings? As in;
Enable Disk Mode
->itunes open
->itunes closed
Open itunes when this ipod is connected
->itunes open
->itunes closed
and then combining the two...

I have iMac 27. After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again. anyone with same issue?

I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week. Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac. i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional. Anyone with same issue or ideas?

I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

Losing Songs after Upgrade to 7.2 iTunes?

I just upgraded iTunes to version 7.2 and upon the first 'Sync' I get the following error message:
"Some of the songs in the iTunes library, including 'SONG NAME HERE' were not copied to the iPod 'iPod NAME HERE' because they cannot be played on this ipod."
. . . then lists the 15 songs (out of 3,100) like. . .
"Baba O'Riley" was not copied because the file ype is not supported by the iPod", etc., etc., etc.
I have already been through all 5 R's and have even burned the 15 songs to a disc and burned them back to the library, but with the same result as listed above. What is really weird is that all 15 of the problematic song files were purchased (which cannot be a cooincidence) and all of these songs were copied to the iPod without problem in the prior iTuens software generation.
Any help would be appreciated.

that can happen if all the checkboxes to the left of the songs in your main library display have become unchecked.
if they are unchecked, hold down Ctrl and click one of the boxes to do a "recheck all".

Losing Connection After Hibernation/Sleep

Hi Everyone,
We are using an AirPort Express as our main wireless connection. Our XP laptop connects fine; however, when we come out of hibernation/sleep, it will not connect to internet (even though it shows we are connected on the status bar). The only way we've been able to reconnect is to restart the computer. I tried searching through the archieved forums, but to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Paul

Yes, you computer will loose it's wireless connection while it "hibernates/sleeps". In order to re-establish the connection, use your wireless network configuration to re-establish/select the connection. (Usually a little green arrow type icon in your menu bar near your clock, if you have it enabled)
(I'm not sure if you are using Windows to manage your wireless connection your your wireless manufactors wireless software, I've found better results using the mfg's software rather than windows)

Losing songs after syncing...

How can I keep songs on my iPod without having to keep them on my computer?

Are you sure you want to do that? iPods are far more likely to get lost / stolen / damaged than your computer - I'd hate the thought that the only place I had music stored was on such a vulnerable device. Better to treat your computer as the "master" for your iTunes library, back it up frequently, and use one or more playlists to control which music from your library is copied to your iPod when you sync it.

10.9.4 update causing deep sleep wake reboots

MacBook Pro mid-2012 15"
2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
After Mavericks 10.9.4 update, my computer started rebooting after deep sleep during charging. When I close the lid and plug in MagSafe, a few hours later, when opening the lid, I get the user choosing screen with a message saying that my computer was restored due to a problem.
This only started happening after I updated to 10.9.4. I have searched these forums and google, but I only get responses saying that this update was supposed to fix this problem. A problem that I did not have before.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Cheers,
Marcelo

After it restarts, does a dialog box resembling the following appear?
If it does, click the Report... button, copy the entire text of the report, and paste it in a reply.
If it does not, read the following:
Prior to shutting the lid note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece.
Find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
Open Console.
If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
To do that type the words bootlog in the Filter field at the upper right of the Console window:
That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you started the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to shutdown.
Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words"BOOT_TIME". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before shutting down the Mac. This will result in a selection of perhaps 100 to 200 lines or so.
One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than 100 or so total log entries.
Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.

Deep Sleep - Is it normal to show a grey progress bar during boot?

I've just downloaded the Deep Sleep widget from Axionic Labs. So far, it works wonderfully.
I really like the idea of Deep Sleep. No power consumption, quick boot and same state it was before Deep Sleeping.
However, I noticed that when I power my MBP on (after Deep Sleeping) it shows the grey boot screen with a grey bar below being filled. Actually, it's several small grey bars being filled.
Is it normal to show those grey bars when your MBP is booting after a deep sleep?
Here's a photo that I took of it: http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2039/dsc00787uz.jpg

Deep Sleep OSX then Boot Windows

I've recently installed Windows 7 using Boot Camp - like a lot of people, I just use it for gaming. It works well, but it'd be a thousand times more pleasant to switch between the two if I could have OSX boot back into the same state that I left it in; I know that deep sleep writes the state to the hard drive, so it should be possible to boot into Windows and then resume OSX from deep sleep later, but I can't seem to access the boot options after deep sleep - it automatically resumes the OSX session when I hit the power button.
I know it should be possible, perhaps using a little EFI trickery, but I'm at a loss for where to begin. Any ideas, anyone?

Just sharing. I had tried the following that does not work:
- While in OS X, start Terminal and run /efi/refit/enable.sh. Then put the Mac to deep sleep.
- When I power up the Mac, the efi menu will appear and I am able to select to boot OS X or Bootcamp.
- When I select OS X, the Mac will try to recover from the deep sleep mode, but it is never able to complete booting up successfully. The progress bar will get stuck just after the second indicator.
- I then have to hard shutdown the Mac.
- The next time when I power it up, it will boot normally into OS X as if the sleep image does not exist.
