Mutiple monitor setup not working after waking from sleep

Mac Mini 2011
Mavericks (10.9.3)
Monitor 1 Mini->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitor 2 Mini->Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitors are not the same size
Thw adapter is PNY (PNY A-DM-HD-W01)
Upgraded to Mavericks, second monitor works nicely. However, when waking the system up after it goes to sleep, the second monitor does not turn on. Further, the primary montior blinks every few seconds between the usual display and shrinking the windows to a smaller size. Unplugging the second monitor from the HDMI adapter cable stops the blinking, but connecting it again (even after waiting a few minutes) makes the blinking continue and the second monitor does not wake up. On reboot, all works fine again.

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero. I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
A. run Disk Warrior
B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

Keyboard volume keys don't work after waking from sleep

This problem has existed for many months on my 2009 Mac Pro. I'm running 10.6.3. The problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I use external speakers. Sound output is set to "Line Out."
1. Boot machine. External speakers work fine. Volume keys on keyboard (F11, F12) work correctly.
2. Put machine to sleep.
3. After waking from sleep, F11 and F12 no longer control the volume of the external speakers. The "pop" noise when hitting F11 and F12 is emitted from the internal speaker. The mute key (F10) does work for the external speakers, however.
4. The keyboard volume controls become responsive again by switching the sound output from Line Out to another output option and then back to Line Out.
This bug is a huge hassle. Does anyone have a solution?

I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
If this works for anyone else, let me know.
Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.

Fingerprint reader not working after resuming from sleep

I kind of mentioned this problem in a previous post and was directed here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245 which is a patch that could possibly fix it.This patch didn't work. What is happening is when my laptop comes back from sleep either the fingerprint reader is unresponsive, it says "waiting..." at the top of the screen instead of the normal scan message and is unresponsive, or in some cases when I click other credentials it shows a third account (first is my account, second is the reader account,and the third is a stop sign thing that says the fingerprint reader isn't attached). When I sign in with my normal password and try to go to the fingerprint software it pops up a little window that is labeled Lenovo Fingerprint 2.0 and the message is "Pleae wait...".
Other then returning from sleep the fingerprint reader has been working fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
Edited to add patch link.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well I got it working again but I'm not exactly sure how. I will go over what I went through so you guys can get an idea and possibly fix it. To start off I talked to MS support and I worked with them for a really long time. They tried intstalling different drivers (other then AuthenTec) and anytime we did that it would say "Fingerprint reader not available" at the login. They tried changing the power settings and which devices could wake up my computer and that had no effect either. I called Lenovo and they basically just told me to download the software that was already on the computer and change the option to have it wake up the computer, which doesn't exist. They were very unhelpful.
What eventualy got it working (and it's been working so far), is uninstalling the driver and software. Then reinstalling it all and installing the patch linked above. The first time I installed it I just double clicked it and went through the installation process. But you need to go into the folder it installs it into (C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\FPIRPON\) and double click FPIRPOn.reg which will add the fix to the registry. On top of this I also went into Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer to turn of the fingerprint reader under Properties->Power Management for the device. The last thing I did was do a registry edit to force the USB to reset when waking from sleep. I found the registry edit here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631/en-us.
So I am pretty sure it was the patch that fixed it when I correctly installed it because I had tried both the power management thing to keep it from getting turned off AND the registry edit and it didn't work. I also thing that Vista SP1 fixes what the registry edit does, but I tried it anyways because I was desperate haha. I'm going to undo the registry edit and power management thing one at a time and see if it still works. If it doesn't keep working I'm guessing it's a hardware problem and going to call Lenovo to get it fixed.
Anyone who is having this problem I would suggest they try the patch in the link that I first posted (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)and follow the installation instructions carefully. Good luck!

Tecra R840 do not shutdown after waking from sleep (USB, BT is not working)

Hello,
I've a problem with my R840 running win7pro + SSD.
After waking it from sleep:
- no USB activity (but there is power in the ports since I can see the leds on in the external HDD or mouse)
- my Bluetooth mouse stops working
- my internet connection will work after 1 or 2 minutes of waiting
- and...the laptop will not shutdown unless I press the physical on/off button for 5 secs or so!!!
In device manager everything seems ok! The Power management in all the devices/USB hubs etc are set to not turn off the devices to save power!
Already clean booted the laptop several times and the problem remains!
Everything is just fine if the laptop do not sleep!
But I put it in a sleep mode and the I wake it I have all those problems!
Any sugestions?
Best Regards,
paulo

>But I have the SSD for almost 2 years or so and it worked without this issue for a long time!
>This appeared (or at least I detected it) suddenly.
Hi Paulo this would mean that there is nothing wrong with the BIOS because as you said above: the unit worked properly in the past.
I guess the system is muddled up and does not work properly after waking up from sleep mode:
Possible solution -> the system should be reinstalled. In case youve got the Toshiba recovery medium, such OS installation / recover process would be very easy and does not take very long

Nothing works after waking from sleep

I've been having an issue where randomly when I wake my computer from sleep wifi isn't working and all the apple apps have crashed or crash at start up. If I try to restart nothing will happen and it stay on the grey screen for a long time after force quitting almost everything. I've tried doing a restore and that didn't help at all. Any ideas?

For problems like this you need to start as small as possible because it can be rather difficult to figure out just what the problem is and you can wind up spending lots of time blundering about when the problem turns out to be right under your nose. So:
Step 1: unplug everything from the computer but monitor, keyboard, mouse, and Internet cable. If the problem stops you know it was a peripheral device and you can start adding them back one by one.
Step 2: create a new account and log into it. Don't configure anything, just spend a bit of time browsing the Internet and then let it sleep. If nothing happens you'll know there's something in your account or some program you are using that is causing the problem. Otherwise:
Step 3: Run the Apple Hardware Tests and boot into the Recovery Partition to run Disk Utility. If the hardware test passes and the drive directory is okay then we move on to the last 2 bits.
Step 4: The next time this happens make a note of the time and force quit, then as soon as the computer has finished rebooting, start the Console program (it is in Utilities) and scroll down to the bottom (those are the most recent). Look at the time stamp of the log and find the ones closest to the time you force quit the computer. You may find a hint there about what caused the crash.
And finally: If you booted into the OS X Recovery system and used TimeMachine to restore your computer it is entirely possible that all you did was restore the program right back onto the computer. Boot back into the Recovery system, erase the hard drive, download OS X 10.7 again and then use Setup Assistant to migrate your account and applications. Doing this is different from a restore because you'll be installing a fresh copy of OS X rather than copying it from your TimeMachine backup.
Steps 1-4 can be done in any order really but the last step really should be the last step because it is the most time consuming and so often the problem is found in steps 1-4

Fingerprint Reader not working upon waking from sleep for windows login

Hello,
I have a brand new T540P with a Validity fingerprint reader.
Rougly 80% of the time, the Fingerprint reader is unresponsive at the windows login screen after waking the computer from sleep. It works 100% of the time when booting from an off position, however. Once logged in, it also works 100% of the time. The issue only arises when logging into windows.
Things I have tried
-uninstalling/installing device in device manager and finger print manager pro software
-setting fingerprints through both fingerprint manager pro software (lenovo) OR through the built in windows fingerprint control panel options
-disabling "allow windows to turn off this device to save power" in device manager.
I should note as well that I have another T540P that I ordered as a replacement. Both models experience the same issue.
Is this a platform wide issue affecting all T540P models? This is frusterating.
Solved!

Your report is the first we have ever heard of this issue on T/W. It does not happen on my T/W systems here (with or without 30 Day Standby enabled). The other reports I heard of this problem came from X240.
I just want to confirm with you - the problem happens after coming out of Sleep (and not Hibernate), right?
Can you tell me exactly what you are doing? e.g.
1. Use the computer normally (is AC attached or not?)
2. Close the lid - the computer goes to sleep (or do you go to sleep some other way?)
3. Open the lid 2 hours later (or how long)?
4. are you using a dock?
The more info you can provide, the better. Thanks for your help.
Also please let me know what BIOS version you have.

Ping and ssh don't work after waking from sleep

Hi!
I have been running Arch on my 2010 Macbook since May and there's always been this one annoyance which I can't figure out: after it is woken from sleep, the wireless (using netctl) happily reconnects and I can browse, check email, run pacman, do dns lookups---everything, it seems, apart from ssh or ping. Both ping and ssh seem to hang. If I reboot or restart [email protected], then they both work.
Running :
$ ssh XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(22), sin_addr=inet_addr("XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX")}, 16
where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is my work computer. (Full strace: http://pastie.org/private/xhmee0oltrnx3qmblnzq)
Running strace ping google.com (as root) gives the repeated lines:
$ strace ping google.com
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(16)={sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("173.194.34.102")}, msg_iov(1)=[{"\10\0\270\345b\325\0\2\336\36QR\0\0\0\0\353\376\2\0\0\0\0\0\20\21\22\23\24\25\26\27"..., 64}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 64
recvmsg(3, 0x7fff2f6d6f90, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
(Full strace: http://pastie.org/private/bfygaqtccz0ms2w8hqea4g)
I can, however, sucessfully ping my router and other devices connected to it. I have not been able to find out anything relevant that might fix this. I've checked the MTU settings match those on the router and my other laptop running Arch does not have this problem.
Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
Thanks!

Can't get yosemite to working after waking from sleep mode

I just installed Yosemite to my Mac Mini. When the computer goers to sleep for more then 30 seconds I can wake the computer but then after i see the desktop I can't do anything on the computer every click i make does not respond and I have to force the computer to shut down and I have to reboot every time my computer goes to sleep.

I have the exact same issue for the first time after installing Yosemite. On resume from sleep, I can see the desktop, and can move the cursor with the mouse, but clicking on icons, etc. does nothing, and the keyboard does nothing. A cold boot works fine. This is a Mac Mini bought in the Summer of 2014. I run no unusual software. I have eliminated all log in items in Preferences/Accounts, reset the NPRAM, have no peripherals (other than standard Apple mini mouse and wireless keyboard), and have shutdown and unplugged to reset. It makes no difference whether a password is required or not - once it goes to sleep, this is the result, and only a forced shut-down by holding the power button and a cold boot give me control back. This problem does not appear if it merely goes into screensaver mode - which I invoke with a hot corner.

Bluetooth is not ready after waking from sleep on Windows 7

After upgrading my Tecra M10 from Windows Vista x64 Enterprise to Windows 7 x64 Enterprise, sometimes, when I wake the laptop from sleep, Bluetooth is not ready.
Hibernating doesn't solve the problem, it needs a reboot which is a problem for me beacuse I usually have lots of applications open.
When this happens, the only Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
* Bluetooth RFCOMM
* Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
When all is working well, the Bluetooth devices on Device Manager are:
* Bluetooth RFBUS
* Bluetooth RFCOMM
* Bluetooth RFHID
* Bluetooth USB Controller-5 from TOSHIBA
How can I restart Bluetooth without having to restart the whole system? Turning wireless communications on and off on the side silder doesn't work.
Thanks,
Paulo Morgado

Hi,
I have a *two week old X500-10T* From day one I have had a number of issues, working with the Toshiba Technical support I have had to disable hibernation for mains power and battery use. My screen went to sleep and just could not wake it up without doing a reset procedure including the removal of the battery etc.
I have been told to look out for another updated BIOS that should solve this issue. I already have a later BIOS on my laptop than the ones the Toshiba Tec support have.
Having sorted that (not really) I also have an issue with my Bluetooth and mouse. It seems to work till you leave it for about two hours, then the icon in the task bar goes ??RED?? and you can??t in any way get it to connect again. By doing a reboot it mostly comes back into action but not always. I have to fiddle about with switching on and off from the Bluetooth manager till it comes back to life.
Again with the great support from the Toshiba Technical support (TTS) we tried almost everything, loading the latest stack, going back to a restore point before the installation of the Windows update etc etc, but nothing solved the issue.
Again TTS suggested I keep an eye out for a BIOS update. My previous Toshiba has worked well for many years and I am sure Toshiba will eventually come up with the cause. Very disappointing, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for a satisfactory solution (shortly I hope)
I hope this helps some other X500-10 users.

Wireless Mouse Doesn't Work After Waking From Sleep Mode

I have a MacBook Pro 13" 2.9 GHZ running on OSX 10.8 and when it wakes from sleep the wireless usb mouse no longer functions. I have to continually unplug then plug the mouse back in for it to work. Is there a way to solve this problem? I haven't found any definitive answers through searching the web. It's minor but irritating as I'm not fond of using the trackpad.

Would like to backtrack this discussion to

Airport not Reconnecting after waking from sleep

Hi all,
I have a problem with Airport not automatically reconnecting after the computer wakes from sleep or is turned on or rebooted. I have it set to join a specific network automatically. Any idea why this may be? It used to work just fine.

I had this problem just recently and seem to have fixed it today. I made the following changes:
I changed security from WPA2 to WPA using the Airport Admin Utility.
I went to the Network Preferences panel and found that the network was still listed as WPA2, so I deleted it.
I then added the WPA network to my preferred network list.
The computer now reconnects automatically after sleep or shutdown.
I don't know whether changing from WPA2 to WPA was necessary. It may be that all you need to do is delete and re-add the network.
Hope that helps!

External keyboard and mouse not recognized after waking from sleep

This started happening all of a sudden. It was working fine before that. When I disconnect the power cable, keyboard, and then connect them back, its not recognized. To make it recognize the keyboard and mouse, I have to logout and login or restart the laptop. I looked at this related post, but the PRAM reset fix did not work for me : http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=870482
Any idea how to fix it?
OS version: 10.9.2
MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid 2012
Processor 2.9 GHz Intrel Core i7
Memory 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I have a similar problem on our G3 iBook with Panther. Most of the keys don't work, and of the four or five that do, they print only gibberish.
For a while I had control of the "C" key, and I was able to start from the Installation CD-ROM. I ran Disk Utility. It found and repaired a whole bunch of permissions and reported no problem with the hard disk. But I still cannot use the keys, and since then I've lost the use of the "C" also.
Because I cannot use the keyboard, I cannot type in my administrator's password, and for that reason I cannot use System Preferences to start from the Installation CD-ROM. I did not see the Hardware Test on the CD-ROM, but it sounds interesting.
Any ideas on how to get back to the CD-ROM when my keyboard doesn't work?

Keyboard/mouse do not function after waking from sleep?

Hi, I've recently noticed that when ever I wake my MacBook from sleep mode, the keyboard and mouse do not respond to any input. It does not occur every time, but the majority. If I close the display a few more times and wake it again it can sometimes work but obviously this is time consuming.
Has anyone else encountered this or know of a solution?
Thanks in advance

Well I just bought my iMac few days ago, the Apple propaganda is all that their products are so much better and blablablabla, basically sales talk.
Anyway, I was stupid enough to buy one and now I'm feeling the "real Mac expirience", keyboard and mouse have a lot of "wireless" connection issues but what real ****** me of is the fact that if my keyboard does not connect I have to shut the iMac on the on/off button, which i supose is not very good for the Mac's health, but well this is the leasson.
Resuming I have the same problem as the one reported here, and worse than the problem is seeing Apple's "support" on this subject, which is nule, this worries me even more.
Back to crap computers that at least work out.
