MacPro does not Wake On Lan / Ethernet - Lion

Ever since upgrading to Lion, my MacPro no longer wakes up on LAN (WOL).  Before upgrading to Lion, I could wakeup and access my MacPro by connecting to it from my MacBook Air.  For example, from my MacBook Air, I would open Finder and click on my MacPro.  Now, perfroming these steps no longer wakes up my MacPro, even when both computers are on the same network.  As a result, if my MacPro is asleep, I cannot access its files or share its screen because it won't wake up.  I must manually wake it up before I can access its resources from my MacBook Air.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

i have a some what similar problem with getting the extended display to show up when waking the 'display' (and not the macbook pro itself) from sleep. i am repling here because u might have this same problem and not the problem of waking it up from sleep itself. is what happens...
i have macbook pro connected to my bravia lcd in clamshell.
i wake it up with apple remote.
the display comes up.
i use mobile mouse pro in iphone as keyboard and mouse for input.
Now... if the display is to go to sleep before the macbook pro does then...
waking it up from mobile mouse por doesnt work
pressing buttons on apple remote doesnt work
only putting it to sleep using and waking it up works.

  • With Mountain Lion MacPro does not wake from sleep

    I have installed Mountain Lion (10.8.1) on a Mac Pro (Model appeared early 2008).
    However when the system is sleeping, Mac does not awake from sleep by pressing any key of the keyboard.
    The keyboard is inactive.

    That's interesting, I don't use the Apple->Sleep, but I tired it several times with 10.8.1 on my system and it woke up in a timely fashion.
    There is something strange going on with it being intermittent for me, a combo of always & intermittent for you.
    I suspect there is some combination of circumstances that's not obvious that's causing it.
    I've looked through the logs and don't see any clues.
    I submitted a bug report some time back.
    You might consider submitting one as your situation is a little different and you have a circumstance that always causes the problem.

  • MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep in Lion

    A lot of people are reporting that their MBP freezes (which happens to me, too) but this concerns a totally different issue.
    About 5-10% of the time, when I return to my MBP after it has initiated sleep, I cannot get the system to respond.
    Keyboard should wake the MBP. Power button should wake. Opening the lid should wake. None do.
    The system is cold. No fans, to backlight, to nuttin'. All that works is the sleep indicator, which turns on and off when I open and close the lid.
    The only way to use the system is to force restart (hold down power, reboot) at which time the system does its 'resume'-thing... as if it ran out of juice and went into hibernate.
    How do we fix this? I'm running a clean install of Lion (10.7.1) (same issue with 10.7.0) - installed it fresh after formatting the HDD - so Snow Leopard remnants from upgrades cannot be a problem here.

    I began having issues whereby my Macbook Pro would freeze after waking from sleep...whether automatic sleep mode or manually-induced.  Got worse by the day, so I looked in this Forum and found that the problem was widespread..
    My issue came when I tried to open MS Office Mac (Outlook) or open Firefox.  In nearly every instance, the computer (and sometimes the screen) would freeze, sometimes with the little whirling ball remaining on forever.  All these forced me to power down with the on-off button, which was distasteful.
    After reading all the posts in the Mac forums regarding this issue, I determined that the issue most likely to have caused my problem was Microsoft Silverlight.  I recalled that I had recently allowed an update.
    I went into every folder I could find, including those related to MS Office, and sent every incidence of Silverlight (including folders) to the trash.  Then I shut down and restarted the computer, and ran some tests by putting the unit to sleep and waking after a wait time.
    After several tests, I have determined that I am now back in good order, sans Silverlight.  I think Silverlight is off the radar for my future!

  • MBP does not wake after closing lid

    MBP does not wake a when I open the lid,

    I have the same problem.
    In Leopard I could hit esc a couple of times and it would restore the display. In Lion no matter what I try nothing works except a total power down and reboot.
    I can hear the hard drive searching around but no screen.

    Hmm... I've had this macbook for a while now (?? a year maybe ??) and about 2 months ago I started having this exact issue, close lid to sleep returning it would not wake and a hard reset (hold power for 5+ seconds) is required.
    I too discovered such links as this and also the older (also unanswered):
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8690782
    But as others have said there doesn't appear to be a solution?
    RESET THE SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) does appear to work, however the issue returns again after a few days or weeks... I cannot find anything that guarantees to return the issue it just starts happening again after a while.
    The battery appears to be in okay condition, although I think it might run down a little faster now days than when I first bought it, but I assume this is to be expected.
    I also had suffered from what sounds like an issue with wifi weirdness - signal would drop to 0% suddenly, no longer "see" the wifi hub that it has been using forever (although it still, randomly, sees other nearby hubs) for no apparent reason, and that kind of thing - all these times the only solutions that have worked have been to stuff around with the wifi hub turing off extas, flipping from "Auto" to a specific Number (1 to 13) and turning on (OR OFF!) Mixed B/G to just B OR G... very strange... and random.
    The only things I've changed recently are, upgraded to snow leopard (from leopard) and got an external display. But I cannot say if the incidents coincided or not, as I didn't realise the sleep/wake issue was an issue for a while, as the first few times I just thougth "Oh, something weirds happened... Reset..." and didnt' really think too much about it until it happened for the 3rd or 4th time and I could see there was a pattern...
    The external monitor via minidisplay port adaptor i got from teh apple store.
    I don't use it with the machine closed or external keyboard/mouse, although I've heard you can do this, I use the monitor as a secondary display when I'm at the desk, the rest of the time I just use it as I have always done.
    I would love to see a solution to this, I guess I could try warranty, but I dunno if the issue is warranty "level"...?

  • After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
    Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
    I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
    This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
    Does anybody else have that problem?
    Thanks!
    Hank

    I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
    My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
    I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
    When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
    I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
    Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • My iMac does not wake from power safe mode

    My iMac does not wake from power safe mode when addressed over the network from my Apple TV, until I send a "wake on LAN" command from a utility on my iPad. Is there anyway this can be done directly from Apple TV?

    Tons of similar reports all over the web - especially on ATV3 - but no solution, seemingly. Hopefully a software update will fix it one day soon. Sorry.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • My macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display.

    my macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up afterwards. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display, because I noticed that the same problem arose when the display was attached.
    Now with the new board, it can't be the display's fault. I hope it is not macbook pro's main board fault. Maybe hasthe notebook board been damaged by the faulty display?
    To bring my MacBook Pro to service will slow down my work. This is why I am posting this message, in the hope to be able to run a diagnostic test myself.
    Thanks a lot, in advance.

    Hello Aminetti,
    It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
    OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
    Reset SMC
    Reset NVRAM/PRAM
    Test with external devices disconnected
    Try Safe Mode
    Try another user account
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Macbook does not wake from sleep properly.

    My macbook 2.0ghz core duo, 10.5.6 does not wake form sleep like it should. it behaves similar to when it runs out of battery with a pale screen and a loading bar, like it is restoring the system from the sleep image, although the battery is full. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to sort it out? Perhaps there is something wrong with the battery controller. Any advice appreciated as it is quite annoying.

    I am having this same problem. The computer itself is awake, but the display stays blank. I can restart it by pressing the power button then 'R' then 'return'. This just starting happening frequently recently for me. It may be the result of one of the more recent security updates.

  • Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access.

    Upgraded to Maverick. Now cannot connect to wifi. All my other devices will connect. Have rest wireless hot spot switch and cable modem. Other devices still connect but MacPro does not. MacPro wireless is self assigning an IP address blocking access. It will connect if I connect to my iPhone hot spot via wifi. Any ideas?

    If you follow this video you'll see how to delete your WiFi AP from the OS, this will allow you to select it again which I feel will correct your problem.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • 10.8.5: External Harddisk does not wake up with iMac after standby

    After upgrade my iMac 27 early 2013 to 10.8.5 my external USB 3 harddisk (for TimeMachine Backup) does not wake up when my iMac wakes up from standby. The external disk is unmounted and a error message apears.
    I had this problem really really rarely with 10.8.4 but now it is reproducable at any time.
    Any hints?
    PS: Yes, I have turnes of sleep mode of my external harddard in energy settings.
    Thanks for any help...

    I had the same problem with Time Machine and solved it by enabling "Enable Power Nap" in Energy Saver:
    System Preferences...

  • Home button does not wake up iPod Touch

    Hey all,
    After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
    This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
    I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
    The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
    Cheers

    sorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
    I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
    I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
    I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
    So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
    It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
    Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
    PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
    I have itunes 9.1
    Running windows 7 rc
    I have tried my ipod also on the following:
    My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
    Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Malcom
