Mountain Lion sleep ejects USB hub/devices

I just switched to mountain lion (10.8.5) and when my MacBook Air goes to sleep on it's own it ejects my USB hub, to which my keyboard and external hard drive are connected. This was not a problem with 10.7x. Can you help?

Mountain Lion sleep mode kills lan / internet connection - how to fix?

How do I fix Mountain Lion Sleep mode that cuts my Lan and nternet connection?

The problem is all the error messages on waking about lost connections - the machine re-stablishes all connections quickly and automatically but you are clicking off the error messages continually.
This never happened with Lion or earlier versions - it is unique to Mountain Lion.
There is something else going on because when I wake the computer I get no end of error messages that the connection was lost to the LAN or to the internet - obviously - in sleep mode or as it was going into sleep mode, the computor or a program like Aperature which has Facebook links was trying to stay connected.
Apple Care gave me a solution that lasted about one sleep cycle before the problem came back - they had me shut off the router/modem for about 60 seconds, had me shutdown the computor and do a System Controller reset while the computor was down. We then restarted the computor and all was fine when we put the machine into SLEEP mode and woke it up again - no error messages.
However, overnight, the machine went into sleep mode and when it woke up I had over twenty error messages about lost connections.
I get a new iMac later this week - we will see what happens with new machine.

Restore Mountain Lion of a USB After factory resetting MacBook?

I have mountain lion in a Dmg file on my mac and plan on putting the Dmg on a usb.
I want to factory reset my mac, due to alot of small problems.
I was wondering, after you factory reset your mac and wiped the disc, then you go back to the menu with four options, One of the options says "re-install a new copy of OSX" . Usually, most people would go ahead and click that, and download the purchased Mountain Lion from there App Store account. The catch is i cant use the app store account that i got mountain lion off, but i still have Mountain Lion in a dmg, so what my question is...
Can/how you install a copy of mountain lion from a USB/portable hard drive without logging into App Store (and downloading it again) immediatley after a factory reset?
Thanks

What do you mean you have ML in a DMG file? Is the file you have the InstallESD.dmg? If so then all you need is to follow the link that Eric provided for Lion Disk Maker. Use that little utility along with the dmg and you'll have a bootable USB thumb drive with what ever version of ML you have.
Or simply use Disk Utility and use the restore tab and restore the dmg file to a USB thumb drive (8GB). Make sure you format the thumb drive as Mac OS Exteneded-Journaled with the GUID partition table.

Mac Mini/Mountain Lion sleeps but won't wake up (or crashes) every night.

Hi everybody,
I have a mid-2010 mac mini server on which I recently installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (without server stuff).
Every night, it stops responding. The led is on but the display is off and it does not respond to mouse/keyboard. I even tried remote desktop.
The only solution is the power button...
What I already did :
- Reset Pram/Nvram
- Reset SMC
I also took a look at the console and I found a message that is fired just before the machine stops responding.

Any clue ?

Hi, I'm quite interested by your issue, because i get the exact same one.
On my mini (late 2012), system doesn t wake up from sleep if it has slept for more than 1 hour.
In fact I get the exact same message as you get in your console.
When I try and wake up system before the programmed maintenance wakeup, it wakes up fine.
But as soon as this programmed time has passed, it just won t wake up, I have to force switch it off via the power button and restart it.
I have nothing plugged on my mini except : AC - Thunderbolt display, and LAN connected to my freebox.
Do you still have the issue or is it ok now for you ?
I'll try in the upcoming days to plug the freebox in the thunderbolt display's adapter instead of the macmini's rj45.

Mountain Lion sleeps when using hot corner to sleep displays

Mountain Lion's Power Nap "feature" already ***** at sleeping the computer even if tasks are running (downloading files via Firefox or Chrome, encoding a video in HandBrake, etc...), but it also seems to make the computer sleep when using a hot corner to make the displays turn off. Previously in Snow Leopard, using a hot corner to sleep the displays wouldn't sleep the computer, since the hot corner was used for "Put Displays to Sleep", not "Put Computer to Sleep". But in Mountain Lion, using the hot corner also puts the computer to sleep, immediately, not at the timed setting in the Energy Saver preference pane.
Why is this?
Shouldn't putting the displays to sleep only put the displays to sleep? Why did Apple break this and not fix it in 10.8.1 or 10.8.2?

SuperDuper does do that, but the flaw has been posted regarding remote disks going to sleep and some even ejecting. That is truly where the problem arises. If I check don't put drives to sleep that is a lot of strain on the system.

Losing connection to USB hub devices

I have more than 4 USB devices to connect to my iMac so I bought a D-Link powered USB Hub. Over time, maybe when the iMac goes to sleep, it loses connection to the devices plugged into the hub. I have to unplug the power and plug it back in to reestablish the connection. Is there any way to keep this from happening? OS X 10.7.4. D-Link model DUB-H7.

Yes it is. Shows up everywhere just under preferences in Audio/MIDI it says 0 MIDI detected. But when I take the USB out of the mic and put it back it has the pop up "disconnected USB mic" and same when I do with computer, but still not registering sound. Mute on mic is fine. Nothing changed. Just stopped. This happened to me a few times before and rebooting worked. So far not so much. Nothings working.

Can I install Windows 8.1 as Bootcamp partition from OSX Mountain Lion using a USB stick?

I have the following:
Bootable USB stick with Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5 - it's probably 3-4 years old.
The Bootcamp partition currently has Windows 7 installed.
I want to know whether I can install Windows 8.1 from a USB stick into a Bootcamp partition. Apple's article on the topic refers to Bootcamp 5.1, but my OSX install has Bootcamp 5.0 - I am assuming 5.1 comes with the Mavericks version. I don't want to upgrade to Mavericks because I am running out of space as it is on the OSX partition.
Thus my question. So can I?

Your laptop has a DVD drive, right? If so you need to burn your ISO to a disc, will not work off USB

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my LaCie USB 3 drive will not mount

I just upgraded my OS to 10.8 and now my LaCie P'9230 USB 3.0 external drive will not mount. I have re-installed the USB driver and re-booted the computer and drive several times to no avail; any ideas/help?

It's my understanding that LaCie hasn't released a Mountain Lion driver for their PCIe card yet. Sonnet uses a modified version of the LaCie driver and theirs is dead in the water too for that reason-they also warn that their driver won't work with 10.7.5 when it's released.
Indeed, yesterday I pulled the Sonnet USB 3.0 card from my Mac Pro and replaced it with a CalDigit card from OWC; CalDigit has separate drivers for 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8 and I can say that the card works with all three, the first time in 1.5 years that I've had a reliable USB 3.0 connection.

Can I recover my system by reinstalling Mountain Lion from boot USB on my failed Mavericks OS?

I have an iMac 8.1 with SSD and Mavericks installed.
Upon startup I get the flashing folder with questions mark, that tells me that it cannot boot.
I have a Mountain Lion boot USB, and with that I checked with Disk Utility if my disk can be repaired.
After verifying the disk, it tells me everything is fine with the disk.
So I guess the OS on the disk is damaged.
Can I use the Mountain Lion boot USB and reinstall OS X, and thereby preserve my files (settings are not most important).
I do have most of my data on an external HDD, but would have some valuable files the SSD (photos, documents and bookmarks).

Have you tried booting while holding down the Option key?

Can't boot from bootable mountain lion 10.8 Usb

Hi guys...
My friend is in big trouble, he has macbook (Late 2006) with 1.83 core 2 duo processor and mac os x 10.5 was installed at the time of purchase.
Due to some problems, he formatted his hard drive and installed windows 7 on it, now he has only windows 7 on his macbook.
Now he want to install Mountain Lion 10.8 back (he don't have installation disk which comes with macbook). so i downloaded mountain lion 10.8 from web which is almost 4.1 GB.
Here is the procedure i followed to create a bootable stick.
I formatted my Kingston 16 GB USB using Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then partitioned it with these configs.
Volume Scheme:1
Format: Mac OS Extended (Journeled)
Options= selected GUID Partion Table
Then in restore tab, i selected source as downloaded file named as InstallEDS.dmg (about 4.1gb) and dragged Usb in destination. then pressed restore.
When i restated macbook and pressed option key (ALT) to load boot menu. It does not show usb, it only shows windows option.
So please help me to solve it, anything wrong i did or if i missed anything.
I want to install Mountain Lion 10.8 from USB Stick.

There are a few problems here, first Mountian Lion won't install on a 2006 MacBook, it diesn't meet the minimum specifications. http://support.apple.com/kb/SP654
Secondly you shouldn't install something purchased under one apple id onto another persons computer.

Please help me install Mountain Lion from my USB on my ERASED Macintosh HD partition.

Hi, So my Macbook 7.1 (running macosx 10.6.8) was running really slow due to poor user maintenance. I decided that i should purchase Mountain Lion and install it over the 10.6.8 version. That worked but my computer turned SUPER SLOW. So i decided to completely startover and erase the partition, and install from the USB. Unfortunately for me this is where my skillset ends, and I need help.
After erasing the Macintosh HD, i created a new GUID partition, and then clicked Restore. I dragged my USB drive under the "source", and dragged my new partition under the "destination". That didnt work so i erasaed the partition again. At this time, i got an error message saying that i cant erase the partition because its not unmounted.
So thats where Im at. I guess i need to know how to unmount the drive, then how to erase it, then partition it, and then install Mountain Lion from the bootable USB.
Appreciate your help!
Nick

I did the erase from Disk Utility. At the time I had started the computer by holding down Ctrl+R, so i am not sure which recovery drive it used. I can say however that I do still have the recovery partition.
Im a bit dense when it comes to Apples. How do i go about re-installing from the recovery? Also, how do i get around the unmouting issue?

Mountain Lion improperly ejects external disks

Has anybody else had this problem? Ever since I updated to Mountain Lion, my external hard drives are periodically and seemingly randomly ejected, giving me an error message about improperly ejected disks. I have two drives, daisy-chained in firewire on a 2012 iMac.
Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for the help so far. To answer some questions,
1. I have two G-Drive Q hard drives, both fairly recent, MacOS Extended formatting.
2. Both show up in disk utility, when they show up on the desktop.
3. They are both powered with their own power cords.
4. I have run Disk Utility on both, but just recently and don't yet know if that was a solution. The one that I use for Time Machine couldn't repair permissions, due to that command being grayed out. Not sure why?
5. the problem onlly started when I switched to Mountain Lion, therefore I suspect OS problems.
I will try switching the order of the daisy-chain, and see if that has any effect.

How to properly make a copy of Mountain Lion on a USB flash drive?

Please Help!
I tried to do the manual copy of Mountain Lion on my SanDisk cruzer blade 8gb flash drive but every time Disk Utility "finishes" the restore it displayes the following message:
'Failure Restore'
Could not restore - Invalid argument.
I tried 4 different times and the last one on a 32gb SanDisk flash drive but I get the same message.
I followed the steps on this address:
http://lifehacker.com/5928780/how-to-burn-os-x-mountain-lion-to-a-dvd-or-usb-fla sh-drive
Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

For people encountered the same problem with Daniela21, you don't need any 3rd party software. Problem occurs because the partition on the disk (not the disk itself) is mounted. Just right+click or cmd+click on the partition beneath the disk and select unmount. Note it's important to unmount just the partition and not the disk.

Mountain Lion sleeping while doing tasks

Ever since installing Mountain Lion, my latest-gen iMac sleeps during long-duration tasks such as:
downloading
converting media
Under Lion I could let these run overnight. With Mountain Lion, in the morning I'll find that my iMac went into sleep mode as determined by my Energy Savings settings as if it had been left inactive. The task was interrupted and incomplete.
This is really quite annoying. None of the solutions I've seen in the forums seem to be good:
Disabling sleep altogether -- this would work, but is not energy efficient
Caffeinate program -- this would not work, since it requires you specify an awake time and the long-duration task often requires an unknown period of time
This seems like an OS issue since it was fine before this OS upgrade. Hoping Apple is aware of this and can fix.
For the first time in my long history with Apple, I'm wishing I had not upgraded to the OS and I've had to recommend that others not upgrade.

I suspect now that some widgets, and apps are setting bad hibernatemodes.
source: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19066192#19066192#19066192
I used pmset -g, and it said I was in hibernatemode 5. I set this (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0) closed the lid, and it came back up. I set it to 3, and the same. I moved over to my widget, and set it. Checked my mode, and it was back to 5.
I used `man pmset` it said to only use mode 0, 3, and 25! No others! I again set it (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25) this time to 25, and it seems to work fine.
I suspect Apple made changes to their power managment, and disabled older modes. They should have set this correctly in our upgrades, instead of letting us figure it out.
