Mac OS 10.5 display sleep

Dear reader,
Since I yesterday updated my Flash Player on Mac OS 10.5 to the latest version I encounter a strange and annoying problem.
Before when a Browser window with a Flash stream was not maximized the display sleep option would activate at the set time. This is not the case anymore.
I tested the following things:
- Manual force the display to sleep:
     - With Flash steam active the display would wake after a few seconds
     - With Flash stream on pause the display would not wake
- Wait for timeout
     - With Flash steam active the display would not go into sleep
     - With Flash stream on pause the display enter sleep at the desired time
- Activate screensaver with hot corners
     - With Flash steam active the display would not go into sleep but screensaver would still be active
     - With Flash stream on pause the display enter sleep at the desired time
- Activate another Safari tab / window and making that active instead of the streaming one. This didn't help.
- Tried Firefox as alternative browser, same result.
I uninstalled the latest version and installed Flash 10.1 from the archive.
This however did not solve the problem.
This gives me the impression that somewhere deep in Mac OS or Flash a setting was changed that keeps the display active while Flash is streaming.
I would very much like to have this changed to the previous situation where the display would sleep when the Flash window is not maximized (displayed in browser window).
Did anyone encounter this problem before and know which setting to change to get this fixed?
Kind regards,
Jos Buurman

i'm seeing the same behavior in flash player 11.4. it should be the case that non-fullscreen streamed video should allow sleep if the specified threshold is reached. i'll double check on windows also and will need to enter a bug for it. unfortunately, OS X 10.5 will not receive bug fixes except for flash player 10.3 security/0-day updates. will follow up with an internal bug number when it is entered. thanks...

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:

Mac Mini wont' Display Sleep after Yosemite Update

My Mac Mini is no longer going into Display Sleep. Instead I now see the Screen Saver. I have checked System Preferences | Energy Saver and it is definitely set to Display Sleep after 10 minutes (The default). What is interesting is that if I try to change the Display Sleep time (e.g. to 1 hour), when I go back into Energy Saver, it is back to 10 minutes - this doesn't look right! In fact none of the options (e.g. Wake on LAN) seem to stay changed.
This seemed to start after the update to Yosemite 10.10.1 a few days ago - but that might be coincidental. Until then Display Sleep had worked fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nick

Hi Guys 'n' Gals!
I have a problem with my computer not going into 'Display Sleep' mode but actually goes into full Computer Sleep mode. Anyone know how to keep my Mac running software and not go into full sleep after I have set it to 'Never' go into 'Computer Sleep' within the 'energy saving' section!
Any ideas guys?

The panic was caused by the MAXPower device or its software, maybe with help from one or more of the other third-party system modifications you've installed.
First check the manufacturer's website for an update. If there is none, or if it doesn't help, I suggest you remove the device, back up all data, and then remove the software according to the manufacturer's instructions. Reboot and see whether there's an improvement. If there isn't, post another panic report.

Visualizer won't prevent display sleep?

I've seen other posts related to this but haven't found the exact issue, so here goes (and thanks in advance for your insights):
Instead of using appleTV, I hardwired my nice, huge sony tv to my macpro with a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I did this because I like to have the iTunes visualizer running during parties and such (because, APPLE, the ATV won't freaking do it!)
The problem is that the iTunes visualizer apparently doesn't count as "activity," and the displays (including my tv) go to sleep after the interval that I've set in system preferences for display sleep.
I know that I can fix this by simply changing my system preferences when I intend to use my TV in this way, and I know that this isn't hard to do. But I want to make sure that there isn't an option that I've missed.
Is there a way to tell the OS, one time and permanently, not to put the display(s) to sleep if the visualizer is running?
Thanks again y'all!

The same thing happens on both my MacBook Pro (15", late 2011) and Mac Mini running Mavericks. After the screen saver appears, the computer's display won't sleep if the Playstation DualShock 3 controller is either plugged in (via USB) or connected via Bluetooth.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed that my controller is sending a bunch of data that's not related to any physical button or axis.

MBP15 Retina: Cant wake from Display Sleep

I've bought my MBP15 with Retina a week or two ago.
You know how your display turns off after a minute of leaving you Mac idle?
When I touch the trackpad or any key on the keyboard to log back in, the display turns back on for 1 second, then goes black again.
It continues to do this everytime I touch a key or the trackpad. Turns back on for 1 second, then turns off again. I can't log in, and have to force-shutoff the Mac to get back in.
This is very unfortunate, as I'm from Guatemala. We don't have Apple Stores here. So I can't just walk in and get it serviced.
Anyone has a solution? I've already done a permission fix on the Disk Utility, to no avail.
+ If I close the lid to make it sleep, then open it up again, it turns back on no proble. It's only when the display sleeps.
Thanks so much everyone.

Hi Nikolaus
I have the same issue. Having got myself in the habit of a quick swipe across the Magic Trackpad to reawaken my external 27" display from display sleep, this bug is very annoying. It happens for me when connected to AC power, so the problem is not restricted to running off battery power.
I shall report this as (another) Lion bug here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Please feel free to add your own complaint, too - the more the merrier

Screen saver + Energy Saver (Computer Sleep + Display Sleep) won't work since Mavericks

Howdy,
Sorry to bother you.
My computer: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It took me some time to upgrade to Mavericks, but I did it eventually.
After having some problems with Spotlight (which was infinite looping indexing... and I just had to turn if off from Terminal), I realized I was encountering another big problem to me since the installation of Mavericks.
In System Preferences:
- 'Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver' : it is set to 1 minute;
- 'Energy Saver > Computer Sleep' : it is set to 10 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Display Sleep' : it is set to 5 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Put hard disks to sleep when possible' : it is checked.
- 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access' : it was checked. I unchecked it. Nothing changes.
- 'Energy Saver > Start up automatically after a power failure' : it is unchecked.
- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
So, before Mavericks, everything was working great.
Now, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes, or after 10 minutes: it's all the same. Nothing is sleepy. Nothing is energy saving.
I did not change anything in my computer since I've updated to Mavericks. However, I changed Wi-Fi. Since it was the only new change, I've "played" with 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access'. When I opened my System Preferences, it was checked. I unchecked it. It did not change anything. I'm not sure what it's used for.
I would appreciate any advice to make it work as it used to.
Thanks for your time reading and typing your answer,
Have a good day,
Regards,

- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
Built into the Software now.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might try Spotlight again. That is how the App Store knows what is installed.

Screen Saver and Display Sleep No Longer Work

My set up:
Mac Pro (stock) w/ 3GB RAM running 10.4.8.
Two ADC displays connected via ADC to DVI adapters
Issue:
Recently I've noticed neither my screen saver nor display sleep work. I can get the machine to sleep manually, but not automatically. My energy settings have the display sleeping after 10 min w/ the computer and HDs never sleeping. Screen Saver is set to go on after 5 min.
My MP used to go into screen saver -> display sleep mode fine. I don't know exactly when the issues started, but probably around 10.4.8. I have not installed any major software recently other than normal Apple updates.
What I've tried:
I've tried resetting the Energy Setting and Screen Saver Prefs and then doing a restart.
If anyone has an idea what is preventing my MP from going into screen saver -> display sleep mode please post. This is driving me nuts.
MacBook Pro 1.83 (7200 HD)/ MacPro 2.66/ mini 1.5Ghz / PBG4 1.25Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Turned out a bad USB device was preventing sleep. Once I removed it the display went to sleep like a baby.

Make Display Sleep Manually. Any Button/Shortcut Key?

Hi, I am having problem in making the display sleep automatically.The sleep setting does not seem to work very well.
Is there any shortcut keys to make the display sleep manually while the mac is working in the background? I just want the display to sleep not the hard drive.
Cheers.

Unfortunately the internal imac brightness control won´t turn the display into a completely dark screen, but there´s a nice freeware tool called "brightness control" which might help you....it does not turn the screen of, but it comes pretty close to that....

Macbook display sleeps a little TOO hard

Okay, So I have a black macbook with the 160g HD and 1gig ram running leapord and I made the mistake of installing InsomniaX so I could try to use my macbook as an iPod while I walked home from class from inside my backpack. It didn't work so I deleted InsomniaX but now when I close my mac book, something strange happens.
The computer Goes to sleep, but it doesn't simply sleep, it goes into this intense hibernation. WHen I open the lid, its as if the computer is off, and you can't simply hit the keys to wake it up. You have to press the Power button. When you do that, the computer starts to life, and the screen returns to what you were last doing, only there is a grey wash over it and there is a loading bar that loads the computer back up. Once the bar is done loading, you can resume your stuff.
Thats never happened before I deleted InsomniaX, and I really didn't want that program on my laptop. I've reset, and fiddled with the display sleep settings, but I haven't found the solution yet, ergo I'm here typing this quickly.
I would like to return my mac to normal, where you close the lid, it sleeps, you open the lid, and it wakes up. I don't really like that its turning off, or whatever it is doing, so even though I could technically leave it, I would prefer not to. Actually I'm not even sure if its damaging my computer at all.
Anyways guys, you are all SUPER helpful, so I'm sure one of you knows whats up. And I hope to hear from ya soon!

Welcome to the Forums!
First of all, make sure that you have COMPLETELY deleted InsomniaX. Try downloading it again, and there may be an uninstall utility there. If not, use a utility such as CleanApp:
http://www.synium.de/products/cleanapp/index.html
to make sure you've gotten rid of ALL the files linked to InsomniaX. Also, 1 gig isn't enough to comfortably run Leopard, upgrade to at least 2 gigs.
Hope this helps!

27 inch iMac to hang during waking from display sleep

Every morning when I come to work and try to wake my imac from display sleep (not full mac sleep) it will freeze.
the freeze goes like this:
the screen is dark and I press the space bar to wakr the screen.
it will show the desktop and folders just as I left it but after 10 seconds the screen starts to populate with pinkish graphic squares - imagine the old space invaders graphics - this will get worse and will eventually freeze.
the freeze will happen quicker if I try to open up a folder or application.
I can restart the mac and it will freeze again - I can usually restart 3 or 4 times before I can eventually get the mac to work fine.
If I leave the mac for an hour during the day for a meeting say and on the return it will freeze when I try to wake the screen.
Spoke with Apple technical support who say reinstall software or try swopping user account - the problem I have with this is it will take me half a day to get the applications back to how I like it before I can start working and I dont have this time.
I wonder if its a hardware problem but it passes the tooltech diagnostics fine
I have a screen grab if that helps
Any ideas?

Mac Pro with Dell UP2414Q Sleep Wake Issue

Hi,
I have *two* Dell UP2414Q displays connected to a new Mac Pro, both using Display Port 1.2 (MST) setting in order to get 4K @ 60Hz.
Works fine. Except Google Chrome which is really lame at redrawing all these pixels when you scroll up/down.
The issue is: when the displays go to sleep for a longer period of time (actually it's probably when the Mac Pro itself has gone to sleep) and I wake the system up, the Dells sometimes won't wake up!
And if I start fiddling with the display buttons I will get a half image (left half of the screen). Same problem on each display except sometime it's the first one that doesn't wake up, sometimes it's the second one and sometimes it's both. Unfortunately the situation where they both wake up is extremely rare
Has anyone else had similar troubles?
Note: I have had similar sleep wake issues with just one UP2414Q connected.
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 (of course).
I'm also having a 3rd smaller display connected though a DVI adapter. That one wakes up 100% of the time. I previously had 3 of these and they did always wake up all 3 without issues.

I have this issue with the UP2414Q monitor and my new Mac Pro . . . . . and then some.
I started by losing the right half of the screen on wake up. After about two months of use, my monitor has developed a fault where both sides of the monitor are displayed but at seemingly very different calibrations. The left half is contrasty and the right half seems to be correctly matched to my working profile. This is using the display port connections. HDMI doesn't have this problem but it also won't run at 60Hz, which was an important factor in my choice of this monitor.
At this point I contacted both Apple and Dell. Although I have had quite a few different Apple support staff over a period of a week or so, they did keep good notes, were very patent and seemed to take a genuine interest into trouble shooting it. I cannot say the same for Dell. At first they did ask questions and did the right thing by sending a replacement. It worked fine on display port, then on HDMI but when I connected it back to display port the split screen problem occurred on the brand new replacement one too. After a day of fiddling with connections it went back to displaying correctly with all connections and has not reverted but it does now have the dead right halve on wakeup more frequently than before. I reconnected the original monitor but that has the split screen problem and I can't find a way of getting it to go away. It is unusable.
This incident with the replacement monitor was five days ago. In that time I have tried to contact Dell support by the original e-mail of the technician that initially helped and by phone, through the support number. The email gets the repeated response "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. I have left for the day, hence my reply will be delay". It happens in the mooring or the afternoon. A phone call to Dell's support number always starts with a promise to be transferred to the technician dealing with my case and, without fail ends by me being left on hold indefinitely with a terrible one minute audio loop followed by a repeated promise of the next available agent. I once waited over 30 minutes, just to test it. I live in Australia but this was clearly an international call centre. Dell obviously have no intention of dealing with my case. They will have to talk soon though because I still have an extra one of their monitors.
Unless there is a firmware update for this monitor, I would strongly advise against buying one for a Mac, or any Dell product for that matter.

Controlling Display Sleep via Applescript

Hello,
I'm looking to create a script that will change the display sleep setting to 1 minute. Is this possible? If so, I also want to make a second script to change the display sleep to 1 hour.
I have only a very basic comprehension of AppleScript and I've tried to write something on my own but I can't get the script to activate the Energy Saver pane.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Not normally, as the file which contains it is only writable by root by default; you will need to either provide the script with your password, or change the permissions on the file /Library/Preferences/ SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist so that admin accounts can write to it followed by using defaults write(which is harder), or by attempting to control System Preferences with GUI scripting.
Providing the script with the password can be done either by putting the password in the script(easier) or by omitting the password field, which will cause it to ask for the password at runtime(more secure.) For instance:
do shell script "id -un" with administrator privileges
do shell script "id -un" password "" with administrator privileges
