Mac mini no longer goes to sleep with 10.9.2

So since installing 10.9.2 my Mac Mini (late 2012) no longer goes to sleep, either from the menu or after pressing the power button.
Anyone else got this or just me,

Ok, here's what I got:

Mac mini occasionally overheats, goes to sleep itself

I have a Mac mini from late 2005.
For a couple months, the mini would occasionally turn the fan speed up incrementally and eventually, reach the max fan speed and just go to sleep by itself. It doesn't matter what I'm doing, loading music into iTunes or checking my email or anything else. The problem has been growing more frequent and has recently began to just instantly shut off instead of falling asleep. The Apple Hardware Test can't find any problems with it.
We've already gone through one logic board. Is this perhaps a sign we need another?
Jon

How is the ventilation around the mini? If it lacks enough air flow, it could cause the overheating. Carpeting or other soft materials around the bottom could cover the intake slots around the base and cause such overheating. Dust is also a possibility, of course.

MacBook no longer goes to sleep automatically

I asked the question in the Mac Pro forum by mistake.. Hopefully I can get some input here?
My MacBook no longer goes to sleep automatically after the 'Computer Sleep' period has elapsed and without me using it. I can however make the MacBook go to sleep by using a sleep command from the menu or the one on the logon screen, as well ask closing the lid.
I have tried hard to find out what the problem is, but to no avail
1. I have reset the NVRam
2. I have reset the SMC
3. I have deleted the sleepimage cache
A. I have turned off 'Wake for Network Access'
B. I have a Magic Mouse, but have turned off 'allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.
My MacBook won't sleep even if I close all programs beforehand.
These are the products that I have an start up:
itunes helper
radioshift helper
colormunki
media (mounted volume)
skype
No one else uses my MacBook
I don't have any sharing services enabled that I am aware of. In any case no one would be accessing my MacBook from any other networked machine.
Time Machine is enabled and writes to a Netgear NV+
I have a similar problem with my Mac Mini. Can anyone help me analyse what is happening?
Thanks for your help

Hi there, It's a very common problem. Some people seem to have solved the problem by checking Activity Monitor to see if there are any messages that may help identify if a piece of software is preventing the system from entering a sleep state. I did this and realised my external HD software was preventing the system from sleeping. Now my MBP 15" i5 predictably sleeps and my battery life is extended.
There is a lot of good advice here:--->>

Fans go on at full speed 1 min. after computer goes to sleep

Problem: Fans go to full speed 1 min. after it goes to sleep-mode. The fans will stay on until it wakes up from sleep-mode.
Computer: Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, OS 10.4.9, 4.5 GB RAM. 2 HD, late 2005 version.
The problem happens every time I put it to sleep, even right after it has been turned on.
I have measured the CPU temp to be as low as 36-40C and it will still turn the fans on high speed when put to sleep.
I have reset the P-RAM and the SMU.
I have installed a fresh version of OS 10.4.9 on second drive, booted from it and it still turn the fans on 1 minute after it goes to sleep.
I have had all the RAM out beside the original RAM. I did an extended Apple Hardware test which passed.
...any ideas ?
-e
5 Macs in total Mac OS X (10.4.9)

After trying all that, it sounds like it's hardware-related--possible logic board--but try this yet.
Do an Open Firmware reset: Hold the CommandOption+OF keys during startup. At the '>' prompt type:
>reset-nvram
Return
>set-defaults
Return
>reset-all
Return
The reason the fans are taking off, is because the OS stops communicating with the logic board.

Mac mini late 2012 wakes up unexpectedly with password field filling by itself

I just upgraded from OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and have difficulty keeping my computer asleep. I always put it to sleep using the drop down menu.
Symptoms are:
1. Power light on Mac mini does not always pulsate from dim to bright when asleep. It is often constantly lit.
2. Mac mini wakes up without user intervention with password field filling itself in as if someone is typing it.
Attached peripherals:
Apple Magic Mouse (Bluetooth wireless)
Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (USB)
Actions I have taken to remedy the situation:
* Turned Magic Mouse off using the power switch
* Turned off Wake for Network Access
* Turned off Sharing, deselecting every option
* Turned off Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer
This problem did not occur with OS X Mavericks.
Nothing is resting on the keyboard or mouse that could cause this.
Thank you for any suggestions and solutions. I appreciate any help.
Paul

Hi Loner.
I did the following:
1. Turned off Bluetooth and switched off Magic Mouse
2. Installed Logitech USB mouse
3. Put Mac mini to sleep
I thought that would solve it but it woke up from sleep again with this in the logs:

I'm perplexed but now we know it has nothing to do with the Magic Mouse.
I'm no expert but this worked fine under Mavericks.
Perhaps it is a keyboard driver that's a bit wonky under Yosemite while in sleep mode?
Maybe the OS can't communicate properly with the keyboard while asleep.
I have an idea to rule it out further:
I'll try unplugging the keyboard and use the Logitech USB mouse to put
it to sleep again.
I'll report back with any findings.

After upgrade 10.6.2 computer no longer goes to sleep. system.log active.

I can put it to sleep and it will do so (light in button slowly blinks).
However over the energy control panel it no longer goes to sleep.
In my system.log I see endless activity. Not sure how this will help me fix it though. Here is some of it.

Why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

why outlook2011 mac version* takes long time to boot with OSX

Okay, so after doing all of the above, the computer still takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute or so to boot up, and the VersionCue messages still appear. However I discovered that the "kdcmond cannot retrieve..." messages disappeared after I disabled my ethernet connections. So at least I know that that had nothing to do with the extended boot-up time.
I have heard that the more RAM you have, the longer it takes to boot due to the RAM count. Since I have 10 GB, maybe this is why?
I've included the most recent Console messages below:

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a macbook?

Hello All,
Will my Mac Mini 10.4 install disk work with a Macbook? I believe the model is either a MB061LL/A or MB062LL/A.
Thank You in advance!

Yes, and possibly the system that disc can install is not Intel compatible. It would have to be a late 2006 model, which was the start of the Intel series of Minis.

Need Help - Mac Mini no longer works with LG Television

Sometime ago (maybe about two months), my Mac Mini quit working with my LG Plasma HD TV. Currently, when I try to use the Mac Mini with the television, the screen displays a "no signal" message.
The Mac Mini is a one year old Intel Core Duo and is connected using a DVI to HDMI cable.
I've troubleshooted:
1. Connected the Mac Mini to our 42" Sharp Aquous LCD - it displays fine.
2. Taken the Mac Mini to the Genius bar. It displayed on the genius' Apple display w/no probs.
Since then, I've tried:
1. Reinstalled/rolled back to Leopard DVDs (no updates applied) - No luck
2. "Driving" the Mac Mini via Screen Sharing using my MacBook and monkeying with the Display preference pane. While screen sharing, I tried using SwitchResX, too (not too certain of the settings though) - No luck.
Of note:
1. Before the trouble began, I was pleasantly surprised to see "LG" (automatically) listed as the display in the Display preference panel. Support was literally plug and play. Currently, when I drive via Screen Sharing, "LG" is no longer listed. Alternatively, when I connect to the Sharp Aquous, the Display preference panel DOES list "Sharp" as the display.
Any ideas?

I'd be interested in any resolution here. Here's my story:
I have a Mac Mini model MA723LL/A and a Haier P42LV6-T1 42" HDTV plasma with VGA and HDMI inputs. I first attempted to hook the Mac to the plasma TV using the DVI->VGA adapter that came with the Mac. I got no image at all on the TV, and the TV claimed 'No Signal'.
Then I used a DVI->HDMI adapter, and hooked the Mac to the TV thru the HDMI port. I got a picture and was happy. I setup iTunes, got the wireless working, surfed the web a bit and all was OK except the resolution seemed wonky. So I opened the Mac's settings panel to adjust the resolution, and as soon as I opened the settings panel, the screen went blank, with the TV claiming 'No Signal'. I shut off the Mac and rebooted, and from that point forward, what happens is this:
press On Button->
Apple Boot Screen->
MacOS 10 loading->
desktop For About 1 millisecond->
screen goes blank with TV claiming 'No Signal'
I hooked the Mac to my Dell 20" LCD monitor thru the monitor's DVI input and got a great picture. I tested all the resolution settings, and everything was fine. I have tested the Mac on the TV with all available resolution settings and it's always the same story (see above for sequence)
I'm kinda at the end of my rope. The Mac seems to be changing something on its video output at the end of its bootup, but I have no clue what. Has anyone seen anything like this? Any advice at all?

Mac mini no longer pairs with blutooth keyboard

Hi,
I never have had issues with the nre Mac Mini I bought. It is only 2 months old now. Last week when I turned on my Mac Mini, the keyboard no longer is recognized. I have tried to switch batteries, restart the computer but no matter what I do, it just wont recognize the keyboard. It doesnt even come up on the discoverable list.
The keyboard has a green llight when I activate the power button, so its not the keyboard issue. I have paired it with my laptop just to see if its the keyboard issue.
The Mac Mini can pair with my macbook pro, and my magic mouse.
Is there something I can do to make it work again? thanks!

I figured it out. By deleting all the seached keyboards on all my macs I was able to then find it on the Mac Mini.

2012 Mini crashes when going to sleep on Windows 8.1 x64 with 5621 drivers

When putting my 2012 Mac Mini to sleep on Windows 8.1, sometimes it will be unresponsive when I attempt to wake it with the keyboard/mouse. At this point the Mac Mini is off (no pulsing light) and when I press the power button it will cold boot (with the chime and grey boot screen).
This issue started after I installed the new 5621drivers. Any idea which driver is causing this so I can roll back that particular driver?

Never mind I solved my own problem. I normally put my computer to sleep using a shortcut that runs the following in a command line:
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
However this shortcut only works correctly if hibernation is turned off, and I'm guessing updating the boot camp drivers may have enabled hibernation even though it appeared to still be disabled.
I went into the power options and enabled hybrid sleep and hibernation, then disabled them again. Then I opened a command line as administrator and ran the following command:
powercfg -h off
After this my sleep shortcut works again everytime without crashing Windows.

Mac mini 2011 display going black

I just got my new core i7 + SSD 2011 Mac mini. I noticed during initialization of Lion and during a reinstall of Lion that my screen would flash to black for a second or two. A few days after installing Lion I still get this random flash a black a few times throughout my sessions. It usually only does it 2 or three times withing 10 minutes of turning on the the computer, then it seems to be fine. One time it flashed a few times and then the display went all distorted and pixelated. To fix it I ended up having to disconnect my 24" Cinema display and reconnect it. This whole display issue is really annoying.
I found this so I hope Apple is working to fix this issue:

Shutdown the Mini, turn off the display, disconnect and reconnect all of your power and display connections ensuring that they are fully seated and snug.
It could also just be that the display going to sleep and then rewaking.
1. Go to: System Preference / Energy Saver and check to see if your Display Sleep slider didn't maybe get set to under 3 minutes.
2. Go to: System Preferences / Exposé & Spaces / Exposé and see if there isn't a Hot Corner set to "Put Display to Sleep" that you pointer might be going to.
