Mac Mini: Mouse unresponsive after sleep.
Hello,
I'm trying to help a friend with her Mac Mini. For some reason the mouse is unresponsive after the computer sleeps. I've tried using different mice to the same result. I have tried using different USB ports to the same result. Anything else plugged into USB is fine, its just the mice that are unresponsive. The only way to resolve the problem is to force a restart. The machine is stock running 10.5.1
Any ideas?
Thanks
Rany
I just bought a Mac Mini with Leopard, using wired Mighty Mouse, and also have the problem of the mouse freezing after logout.
I have found that the mouse will freeze if the logout confirmation button is pressed with the mouse instead of return. Scrubbing the mouse rapidly across the screen while the system is processing the logout causes the mouse to freeze up almost every time.
The work-around seems to be to use return logout, and don't touch the mouse until the login screen is presented.
This problem also occurred with a Logitech mouse, which is why I bought the wired Apple mouse. (In order to isolate the problem to Apple hardware or eliminate the problem.)
I hope that this problem is fixed soon -- I've just switched over from Windows Vista and am downgrading my old Dell box to Windows XP, because I wouldn't give Windows Vista to my worst enemy!

Is Mac MINI support WOL after shutdown completely
In PC environment,when the computer completely shutdown but connecting the power ,the lan card still have signal so that we can use the magic packet wake up
Is Mac MINI support WOL after shutdown completely?No. The Wake on Network Access (WOL for PC terminology) only works if the Mac is sleeping, napping or hibernating.
Ity does not work for a shutdown state -
I cannot get the new mac mini to wake from sleep and trigger the displays - this is the second mac mini I have had and both have had the same issues. It worked before on my macbook extremely well...
Using 2 displays, connected via HDMI and thunderbolt
Been on to support a number of times now - is anyone experiencing the same issues?BUMP.
I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:
kernel[0]: Previous Shutdown Cause: -128
I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps? -
Mac mini shuts down after 10 seconds..
At first today, the CDs and discs kept automatically ejecting and wouldn't read (obviously). So I keep putting them back in hoping it would read or hold something. Then I restarted and the Mac Mini shuts down after 10 seconds of the seeing the desktop. Did I fry it? I did hear a weird sizzling when I put my hand on top of the mini. And is this under any warranty - I bought it Feb. 07? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any thoughts on that?
One or two come to mind, not least that if the unit is under warranty now (as it clearly is) and they aren't taking this fault seriously, then buying AppleCare so it remains under warranty longer isn't the right solution - having them examine it and resolve the problem is.
There's no doubt at all that in the event there is a system with a suspected fault, extending the warranty long enough that the system ceases to function and can be repaired is a good thing, but it shouldn't be necessary to go to that extreme in order to get a problem resolved now!
I would simply take this elsewhere and have it looked at. While odd noises are sometimes hard to hear in an environment where there are people and other activities going on, and thus it is reasonable to expect diagnosis of them to prove difficult, a system that shuts down of its own accord after a few seconds is clearly not working correctly. To be sure, if it is overheating, then testing it when it's cold is likely to miss the problem, but the description of the fault from the user ought to give enough clues to put the system on test long enough to see what happens when it warms up. If the fault can't then be replicated with a system that is at normal running temperature and under load, then giving it a clean bill of health is reasonable.
Thus, in your place I would ask them if they did, in fact, test it in that way. Alternatively, write a description of the fault, specifically identifying the premature shutdowns and the circumstances in which they happen (if they still do) and the noises and the circumstances in which they occur (if they still do) and take the system and description to an approved service provider and let them look at it.
If the shutdowns are no longer occurring, and the noise is absent, then whether you buy AppleCare or not is really a matter of how confident you are that the problem has gone. If you have doubts that the system is running correctly, AppleCare is expensive but at least extends the warranty sufficiently that you can stop worrying too much. Alternatively, if the problem(s) still persist, rather than AppleCare, have the system examined and repaired right now. -
Mac Mini kernel panic during sleep
Hi,
I have a late 2012 MAC MINI that i bought around 3 months ago. Usually my Mac mini is left to sleep/hibernate during the night instead of being shut down. Today morning when i woke up the mini, i saw that a kernel panic had occured.
Below is my Kernel Panic Log

Does this mean i have to get my Logic Board changed due to malfunction, or is there some other problem? Please assist...
Thanks in advanceNo. In fact I wouldn't even worry about it unless this becomes a continuous problem. No software on Earth is perfect. There are, however, some tips you might want to consider:
Some of the backtrace appears that you're running VMWare, and quite honestly I don't know what types of bugs might be present in it.
If you're using a third party drive with third party add-ons and drivers, they can sometimes be problematic.
I know Seagate had software that was problematic with Mountain Lion and they're supposedly putting out updates to fix the problems (might already be done for all I know).
A single crash isn't a big deal. If it's crashing periodically, the it's a problem. -
Troubleshoot mac mini unresponsive after sleep --- bluetooth problems?
Hi,
my in-laws' mac mini has a hard time getting back from sleep sometimes, and this morning we lost some mission critical work because of this. The only peripherials it uses are a wireless keyboard (Hungarian layout bought in Hungary) and a magic trackpad (bought in the US alongside the mini). We tried restarting the mini and both wireless pieces multiple times, this did not help. The mini had Lion, and I presume it automatically got the 10.7.1 update last week (but I cannot check whether that happened overnight last night).
Is there anything else my family can do apart from trying to press some keys some times, press the power button of the wireless things, and press the power button of the mini briefly (to activate) or long (to power down and then restart)?
Did we lose bluetooth or the display?
Did Apple do anything about similar previous concerns?
Thanks.An update: this problem is observationally equivalent to having lost the display. I already had problems connecting a VGA display through the mini's HDMI port, but now the Thunderbolt might have lost the display too. I see that others are having similar problems, probably linked to 10.7.1. We'll see if the PRAM's reset helps.
"It just works"?
Well done, Apple. -
OK, I have an Intel Mac Mini that really, REALLY won't sleep. When I try to sleep it, the heartbeat light on the front pulses, but I don't think the Mini is asleep, in that the external drives don't spin down (or they do spin down and then spin right back up again), and it wakes up too quickly. Also, when I try to use "Safe Sleep" ("pmset -a hibernatemode 1", or the Deep Sleep widget), the Mini doesn't deep sleep; it fakes normal sleep just like above (this used to work). I have tried all of the following:
1) Disconnecting all but a mouse and sleeping. Tried two different mice.
2) Resetting the SMU (15 minute unplug) and the NVRAM (CMD-OPT-P-R)
3) Booting from an external drive with a copy of a different Mini. Unmounted everything but the external drive first.
Is there anything else I should try?
Though I don't think it's relevant (due to point 3 above), the Mini has an internal drive with 2 partitions (a large Mac OS X partition in a RAID 1 with an external miniStack, and a small blank Boot Camp partition for a future XP install) and a miniStack with three partitions (the RAID mirror, a static backup, and a simple storage space). The hardware shouldn't be relevant due to point 2 above, but is a Ministack, a Logitech Marble Mouse, a Kenginston Orbit, an Apple Keyboard, a Dell 19" monitor with USB hub, a Griffin iMic, a Canon MP760, and an iSight.Try downloading a copy of OnyX from
versiontracker.com...I find it solves almost
everything as it runs high level UNIX maintenance
scripts, such as Cron job, clearing kernel caches,
repairing permissions, etc.
Otherwise I'd try reset the PRAM by holding
Option-Cmd P, R at startup.
I had already tried Cmd-Opt-P-R. Disassembling the RAID and running MainMenu (similar to OnyX) fixed the problem. Seems the partition table may have been goobered somehow, because after I disassembled the RAID, Boot Camp wouldn't touch the drive (even though it supposedly had just an OSX partition and a Windows partition at that point). -
Headerless mac mini always unresponsive each morning?
Hi - I have a late 2012 mac mini stock h/w running 10.9.4. there is no kb/mouse I connect via screen sharing. Each morning my screen sharing connection is fine, my apps are still running but as soon as I try and use the machine finder appears to restart and then other than control the mouse no app will start / stop and I can no longer SSH to the machine. The power button is the only remedy.
The machine sits dormant as a media player with an HDMI connection to a TV. I've tried a cold boot and left with no apps running for 24 hours and it becomes unresponsive in the same manner. Wired or wireless connections tried.
I'm fairly new to troubleshooting macs as never needed to in the past. Also updated to 10.9.5 and that has had no effect good or bad.
Used diskutil to verify disk / repair permissions etc. again no effect good or bad.
Any ideas where to start? thanks in advance.These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful. -
Mac Mini G4 refuses to sleep due to KVM switcher
I have a KVM switcher + powered USB hub hooked up between my Mac Mini G4 and a PC- while the PC is able to enter standby mode, my Mac always wakes up within 3 seconds of entering sleep mode. Belkin tech support said this is due to the Mac receiving USB signals (albeit me not moving the mouse, touching the keyboard, etc), and told me to ask Apple how to disable this feature.
Ideally, I'd like the computer only to wake up from a keyboard signal, but the powered hub might be making that unfeasible. However, I'm okay with taking the Mac out of sleep mode by pressing the button on its back.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this (as my LCD monitor's output is beginning to suffer)?
Thanks,
JamieHi, Jamie. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. You wrote: "I have a KVM switcher + powered USB hub"It's unclear if you mean:
a. Two separate peripheral devices, i.e. KVM switchbox and a powered USB hub.
b. One peripheral device that performs both functions.1.1. Which is it, (a) or (b)?
1.2. If (b), is the USB hub is connected to each computer, or the KVM switchbox? If the former, try the latter. Don't connect the same USB hub directly two two computers2. You wrote: "Belkin tech support said this is due to the Mac receiving USB signals (albeit me not moving the mouse, touching the keyboard, etc), and told me to ask Apple how to disable this feature."If you make any change to USB devices (power them on or off, connect or disconnect them) on a USB chain that connects to the Mac, then the Mac will wake.
This feature cannot be disabled: it is a function of the circuitry.
If you look at the "USB Ports" section of the "Devices and Ports" chapter of the Mac Mini G4 Developer Note, in the subsection entitled "USB Features" you will see:"Wake Up From Sleep
USB devices can provide a remote wakeup function for the computer. The USB root hub in the computer is set to support remote wakeup whenever a device is attached to or disconnected from the bus. The keyboard that comes with the computer uses this method to wake the computer on a key press.
Connect and Resume
The Intrepid ASIC contains special circuitry that allows the computer to wake from sleep mode on connect, disconnect, and resume events. Compatible USB devices should support the USB-suspend mode defined in the USB specification."Therefore, if you put your Mini to sleep, then connect, disconnect, power-on, or power-off a USB device on any USB chain connected to the Mini, the Mini will wake.
3. It may also be that either the KVM switchbox or USB Hub (whether alone or a combined device) could be defective. I one had a similar problem where I'd put one of my Macs to sleep and it would wake immediately. Turned out to be a bad Belkin USB hub. Removing the hub restored normal sleep function.
Good luck!

My mac mini keeps going to sleep
Ok my Mac mini is about 3 years old and well whenever I'm doing most anything It will make a noise as if running hard then turn itself on sleep and no Its not doing it due to inactivity cause after I turn it back on using the keyboard it puts itself to sleep within seconds again.
This problem is the worst while trying to watch any type of movie rather it be on DVD,Youtube,Apple Movie trailers, or OTHER.
PLEASE helps me ;_;Hi Yamivash 0-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
It sounds like it is overheating. Have you cleaned the air vents out lately?

The mac iteself seems to be of good performance generally, but after coming out of sleep mode, more and more frequently the mouse pointer performance is slow, not reponding quickly to the inputs of the wireless apple mouse I am running (it is a 2009 model)
If I reboot the MAC, the mouse performance is restored. Looking at the mouse performance it is like the processor is labouring, but I do not see this in application performance
I do not think it has anything to do with the mouse mat I am sitting it on as performance is restored with a reboot -
I have run a directory repair (I saw this can fix certain issues) but to no avail.
Any advice welcomed
Thx
ChrisIf anyone else has this problem, and this solution doesn't work, here's another one you can try.
I had this very same problem, for months. It was maddening. I tried all the standard solutions in Power Options, Device Manager, BIOS, etc.
I finally fixed it by disabling the Workstation service (one of the many hidden programs that automatically run when you start Windows). The Workstation service is necessary only if your PC is connected to a private network (not the Internet) so you can share
files, printers, and other devices with other computers. (You can read more about it here: www.theeldergeek.com/workstation.htm)
When you resume from Sleep mode, the Workstation service searches for other computers on your network. Even if they don't exist, in some cases it can still take a while to realize that and release your system back to you. If your PC is NOT on such a network,
you can safely turn it off and avoid this delay.
1. At the Start menu, type cmd and look for "cmd.exe" in the list above.
2. Right-click "cmd.exe", then click Run as Administrator. A command-line window appears.
3. In the window, type services.msc and press Enter. The Services window appears.
4. Find "Workstation" in the list of services. Right-click it, then click Stop. After the service stops, right-click "Workstation" again, then click Properties. The Workstation Properties window appears.
5. In the "Startup type" list, select "Disabled", then click OK.
6. Close all open windows, then log off and back on again for the change to take effect. -
Mac mini crashes often during sleep
I have a mac mini about 6 months old. Everything was great for a while but for the past few months it's been crashing every 1-2 days during sleep (I go to wake it up and it says it restarted after a problem). I have a bunch of crash reports, I'll paste the most recent below...
When it first started I ran apple hardware test which found bad RAM. This was replaced by company but crashes continue (apple hardware test finds nothing wrong now).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think I had some trouble with my router in the past but have switched to using a TimeCapsule. I will try unplugging from my wired router and go with just wifi next.
If that doesn't work will try the suggestion for a new monitor cable.
After that I'll try replacing RAM with factory RAM again.
...and if that doesn't work Maverics should be out by then and I can do a complete OS reinstall.

Mac Mini extremely unresponsive, pinwheel of death all the time, fails reboot.
I got my mac mini 2011 the MC816LL/A model in February and don't give it much usage so I was surprised when it started behaving erratically and and giving me the pinwheel of death all the time, the issues started all of a sudden a couple of months ago. Even when I force reset the computer fails and then i have to turn it off completely and wait more than 15 mins to be able to use it again, totally ridiculous... I've read all the threads about the issue and they mention OSX lion being sluggish and also to reset PRAM as last resort after I've tried everything under the sun(uninstalling buggy software, repairing disk permissions, general maintenance... etc) I know there has to be something wrong on the software side because I still own an old PowerBook g4 that i got back in 04' and it has never given me any issues so I'm extremely fed up with this issue since this computer is supposed to be better. Any suggestions??
First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting. -
Mac Mini restarts automatically after shutdown
This has been happening for a few months. (I have to run older Macs for Rosetta.) After the reboot, when I hit shutdown, it shuts down.
I looked at other forums and no one has an answer. The Mini otherwise runs fine. It's most annoying as I want to shut down and leave the office but have to wait for the reboot and then shut down a second time. Any ideas?Try unplugging all USB and Firewire accessories (except for your mouse) from the Mac Mini and see if it will shut down properly.
If it does, plug one back in at a time and see which one is interfering with the shutdown!
What apps do you continue to run that need Rosetta? -
IPad mini initially unresponsive after turning on?
My iPad mini is consistently unresponsive after I first turn it on from shut down. It opens to the lock screen, but I can't type my password.
I found that pushing the power button 4 times (two cycles of turning off the screen, then again to turn on the screen) will solve the problem, but it's really frustrating each time I turn on my iPad. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am presently still running the last version of iOS 6. Would updating to iOS 7 fix this? I have concerns about significantly decreased battery life with the new OS. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
KellyRunning iOS 7 has not significantly decreased my battery times from what I was getting in iOS 6, but there is no question that what I was getting in iOS 5 and comparing that to what I get now, there is about one hour's difference. I used to easily get 10 hours in iOS 5 and that gradually decreased with every update in iOS 6 and has continued to decrease a little bit in iOS 7, but I still get 8-1/2 - 9 hours out of a full charge.
As for the weird unresponsive screen issue, have you rebooted the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
Tried resetting all settings! Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this you will have to enter all device settings again, but no data will be lost.
