Monitor wake up issues

I am having inconsistent monitor wake up issues. If the CPU is on and past the bios boot and THEN I turn on the monitor all works properly. However, the monitor will NOT come out of power save / hibernation mode. I have tried different monitors with the same behavior and am on my second ATI 9600 Pro 128MB graphic card. I have installed the latest Catalyst drivers (4.0) and flashed the MoBo bios (amibos 3.31a) and still no change in the effect. I am suspect that it is some bios setting but can't figure out what the issues are. As a side note, I have had twice in about 40 boots an error: "Dram timing is too tightly so reload timing". The DRAM timing configuration is enabled by SPD at 3-3-3-8-8 (unchangeable in current mode).
Suggestions greatly appreciated!
SYSTEM:
P4 2.8GHz w/ 800M and 512K
2 DDR 256 / DDR400 CL3 PC3200 (Kingston)
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB
MSI 865PE Neo2-PLS
Viewsonic E90f 19" monitor
Windows XP Pro SP1.1a

You can set your DDR timings manually by disabling SPD in BIOS. Before you do that, be aware of the exact description of your memory sticks and try to find out in Kingston Website about possible timing values.
About the problems with the Monitor, in BIOS you should have a menu 'Power Management Features'. If you have
ACPI Standby State choose 'Auto'
Re-Call VGA BIOS at S3 resuming choose 'Disabled'
Power Management/APM choose ' Enabled'
Suspend Time Out 'Disabled'
On this menu if you have a Submenu 'Set Monitor Events', get in, and if you have something like
FDC/LPT/COM Ports choose 'Monitor'
Primary Master IDE 'Monitor'
Primary Slave 'Ignore'
Secondary Master IDE 'Monitor'
Secondary Slave IDE 'Ignore'

Wake Up Issues, Screen Glitches

Having wake-up issues with iMac. Seems like the screensaver is causing problems. Either I get a black screen, or some graphic glitches appear throughout screen. Or the dock will sometimes lock up. Thanks.

Hello cdurs0
Welcome to Apple Discussions
ScreenSaver's use lots of ram and processor resources, if your iMac only has the stock 1 or 2GB of ram you would do better to set the Screen Saver to Never, the display to sleep after 10 or 15 minutes and or use an Active Screen Corner to Sleep Display.
see > http://www.tiptrickmod.com/mac/mac-osx-active-corners/
To check ram go to: About this Mac > More Info > Memory or open your Activity Monitor and check to see how much Free ram you have during normal usage.
see > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1342
The other alternative to getting the most out of your iMac is to upgrade it to the maximum amount of ram.
see > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/iMac
Lastly, how full is your Hard Drive? That could also be a problem if there is not enough room for the OS X to work around in.

MacBook Air: It's impossible to turn on the monitor (wake up) without reboot ...

It's impossible to turn on the monitor (wake up) without reboot if i click any key in the same point when OS is going to sleep. If 1-2 seconds manage to pass - Everything is ok!
Please fix it!

use the last combination the three finger reflash you will lose all your data but your phone might work, if the last code does not work you ought to contact either provider or nokia care point for assistance
*#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list.
*#7370# - Reformat your phone
This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working. Turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
re-flash - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen.
If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service.

Changing to the SSD wouldn't void the warranty. Here's something you might want to try. Put the SSD in an external enclosure and see if it runs fine from there. If it does, you probably have a bad SATA cable which is what connects the drive to the motherboard.

Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a fix for the following Magic Trackpad / iMac wake up issue please?
Basically hooked up a Magic Trackpad that was bought several months ago now and found that it works great however the 'click' functionality does not work whilst waking up my iMac. The cursor moves as it should however it's not possible to click onto either a registered account nor guest account in order to enter a password to wake-up from screensaver.
To get around this I've had to pair-up my Magic Mouse again which is not ideal.
A fix for this would be appreciated.
OS installed: OSX 10.7.5.
Thank you.

Just my .02, but why do you want a screen save? I was told a long time ago by some engineers not to have your screen saver running. Just non essential. Me, I have none of our computers doing so. They time out and sleep in between, so the hard drives and logic boards power down, if not shut down completely.
As for you situation, I had the same problem a while back and believed it was one or more of the apps. in the back ground. Could even be the UPS. Either re load your OS to check any corruption. And/or, check your login list of apps. and finder to see what is running without your knowledge or in the background, then closing out of open programs one by one prior to the screen saver engaging and see if it changes things.

Attention: HPIO Trap Monitor wake issues on Leopard

Guys, I've never had any sleep issues with my Intel iMac before; but it seems like the latest 10.5 updates are NOT compatible with the HPIO Trap Monitor, which is part of the software package installed for HP all-in-one printers on Macs...
In 2 or 3 occasions during the last couple of months, I wasn't able to wake my iMac from sleep, having to resort to a hard reboot. It's nothing with 10.5.7, because this ALSO happened with 10.5.6.
After some analysis of console messages, I discovered the following:
Process: HPIO Trap Monitor [97]

My question: my printer works fine so far, but I am afraid this driver or specific process is not compatible anymore with Leopard...what happens if I erase it from my system? Thanks in advance!

Reinstall the latest HP software. I have no such crashes with my Photosmart 4280 AIO attached to my iMac. Version 2.6.0 runs without issues.

MacbookPro + External Monitor wake up from sleep

Hey,
If I connect my mbp to external monitor and press sleep and then close the lid, 30% of the cases I cannot wake it up. I have all updates in Mountain Lion.
Any thoughts about it? Software bug?

But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

Turning on monitor wakes mac from sleep

I've hooked up my G4 Gigabit Ethernet to my HDTV, and I'm happily using it to play music and watch slideshows. Very happy to breath some life back in the girl.
One issue though: If I turn on my monitor to watch TV it wakes the G4 from sleep (the state I keep it in most of the time). Most of the Shareware or Scripts I've seen are for the exact opposite issue -- trying to keep the computer from going to sleep -- I want to keep the computer asleep!

Options is there in Tiger. This is a screenshot of the Display Preferences from a Tiger volume.

Start Up / Wake up issues

I have a refurbished Mac Pro 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon .
I have had a problem with it sometimes booting up and the screen either is just black or it is all a grey snow . It will do this sometimes when it comes out of sleep as well . If I have a program running and I leave it on and return after say an hour , and the screen is black and I wake it up it is less likely to restart with any screen problems . I have had one where I got the window telling me to push the start button until it shuts down and then restart it ; which is what I have been doing for every event . After that I got the message about sending a report to Apple , and I did . Any thoughts ? Is it serious ? I have gotten to the point where I am probably going to contact Apple .
Bryan

I did lots of Google/print research for all that I added . The Apogee Duet is sold right on the Apple site as are M-Audio midi controller keyboards . The only other things that I have hooked up are the KRK Rokit 8s and I read reports on many forums about using them with a Mac and no issues , and my monitor from Samsung . The store where I bought it uses the very same monitor model for there Apple shelf display with no issues . I even phoned Apple before I bought this screen .
That just seems crazy that Apple would sell something on their site that is not compatible with their own product .
The screen issue is very intermittent , in fact it has not happened since my first posting of the issue so assuming that my peripherals are not the issue any other guesses or suggestions as to what might cause the screen to behave like I have stated ?

Computer won't sleep, my monitor wakes up my computer

I recently purchaced at T232HL for my PC. It was working fine, now whenver my PC blanks the display or goes to sleep the monitor starts looking for another input then wakes the PC back up. The computer is plugged into HDMI1, when it goes to sleep the monitor tries HDMI2, VGA, then back to HDMI 1, then displays "No Signal", the amber light comes on briefly (0.5s) then the screen comes back on to my lockscreen with the PC wide awake. Using powercfg -lastwake I can see that a USB device woke up the computer. I tired unplugging each device 1 by 1 and found that when the USB to the monitor is unplugged it goes to sleep without issue (it still cycles inputs, but doesn't get woken up in the end). What's going on here? I don't think the monitor was cycling through input when I first started using it, and it certainly wasn't staying awake. Any hints on how to prevent auto input searching and preventing the monitor from waking up my PC? Thanks-Ian

RidgePirate,
Go to the device manager.
Right click and go to the properties of your display adapter.
Go the power management tab and see if there is an option to wake the computer from sleep.

T420 Intel HD 3000 Dual Monitor Mini Dock Issue

I have a T420 with Intel HD 3000 using a Mini Dock, attached to Two external Monitor one VGA and the other one DVI, the problem is that the DVI won't work simultaneously with the VGA, after update the Intel HD driver to the last version available 9.17.10.2843, both monitors works simultaneously, but If I Reboot, Hibernate, Standby or Undock, only the primary monitor (VGA) works and the Extended (DVI) stop working.
I tried using another video driver version and updating the BIOS but not luck, Does any one know if there is a solution for this issue???

Are you trying to keep the internal display on when you connect to the external monitors?

Wake/Sleep issue - Lid closed awake, lid open sleeping, wont wake

MBP/Lion - I'm using my MBP in dual monitor mode with an external monitor and power supply connected. If I close the lid and then disconnect the monitor, my MBP won't wake after opening the lid. I know that with Lion a change was made and the power stays on with an external monitor attached and the lid closed (with the adapter plugged in), but if you unplug the display, there doesn't seem a way out of this state. Even plugging the monitor back in, the display wont refresh (just black).
In this state the power managment is confused. When closed, the power light is on, with the lid opened the power light goes off, the display remains blank and I can't wake the device. The only solution is to re-boot.
This *****, as I just want to close the lid, unplug power and the monitor and leave work to go home. I end up running the battery down if I don't catch it before putting the MBP in my bag, and I always have to reboot. Anyone else with this problem? Any solutions out there?

I got a fix for you but you have to follow these instructions exactly:
1. Unplug everything from your Macbook Pro.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Type: sudo nvram boot-args="iog=0x0"
4. Enter your password.
5. Reset your Mac and plug everything back in.
6. Your computer will now be free of one more lion bug.
If for any reason you want the old functionality back Zap the PRAM (Turn on your Mac and hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys all at the same time)

Wake Up! Wake Up! Monitor, Wake Up!

Like others, I am very pleased with my new MBA 2.13/4gb/256gb. But waking up the external monitor is driving me nuts! I can't find any consistency in what it takes to wake up the monitor from MBA sleep mode once I connect it to the DVI adapter. The monitor is a Samsung 32" that fully supports the resolution, and produces a great looking image - when it works! No problem running both the MBA open with the monitor, but once I close the lid and press the spacebar on the Apple bluetooth keyboard (or mouse for that matter), most of the time the monitor just sits there. About every third time, it works just like I would expect, but the other times, it just refuses to recognize the MBA. I suppose that the MBA just isn't sending a signal to the port, but the inconsistency is what's driving me nuts. I have installed all updates through Software Update, but that didn't resolve the problem.
Anybody found a solution yet?

UPDATE: Even though I did a Software Update immediately following my data migration from the MBP to the new MBA, I went out to the Apple site and downloaded the update again. Presto! Now the external monitor and MBA are functioning well together - just like I expected. Interesting.... Maybe it was the reboot, maybe the original update was overwritten by something else. I dunno.... but whatever the cause, everything is now behaving like I wanted.

T500 wake up issues

I'm about ready to kill this thing. For some reason that I have yet to discover, my t500 will periodically fail to come to life when I open it. I open it, and it just sits there - the screen does not come on, and no combination of keystrokes seems to wake it up. Every time, I have to hold down the power button and restart it to get it to do anything.
A connected issue seems to be that it does not hibernate, if I am using the right term, when I close it down. I'll notice that when I get home from work, for instance, it has been running in my bag, is warm and the fan has been running to cool it off. The little moon LED is off when I get it out, but when I open the cover, nothing.
Any ideas? I'm on the move with this thing all the time- it happens a couple times a day, sometimes.

This can happen if windows gets stuck in the process of sleeping and or hibernating. However, I have not noticed this happening since installing the latest power manager and bios updates, I would start there. Also, if you are leaving any devices like a wireless mouse dongle attached (which I do) if the mouse is left on it can wake it up continually. This also would be true if you have bluetooth enabled and have it either searching for devices to pair or are carring a device which is turned on which can wake the system.
Just a few things to check.. you may want to go through your power settings and make sure you do not have any conflicting settings configured which may cause it not to hibernate properly.
Best of luck!

Startup/wake up issues

Since I got this computer the issue has been getting worse:
1-When I turn the computer on, I always hear the cd drive check for startup disk, but often the process stops there. I have to start the computer a couple of times to finally finish the process.
2- When I put the computer to sleep, I can wake it up after a minute or so, but can not bring it out of a black screen after ten. I hear the cd check for a disc, but that is all.
I have tried repairing permissions. The person who sold me the mac checked and says it is fine. What should I do?

Caveat Emptor! (Buyer Beware). Contact the eBay seller and complain. There's always an eBay avenue of complaint if you don't get satisfaction from the seller. Also Paypal complaints are taken very seriously.
