My computer can't sleep

Can anyone answer this...why won't my computer go to "sleep"? The screen goes black, it sounds like it's about to work...then it pops back up. I just installed Tiger and reloaded all my software and fonts. Right now I only have fontbook, but plan to install FontAgent pro once I get all the other issues resolved.. I was also having this problem before, as well as many font problems. So I thought this would solve everything, but it did not.

A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
WAKE UP
In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
FILE CORRUPTION
Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
ENERGY SAVER
If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).

You may want to wait for others to see this thread who might offer some other suggestions, but you could consider resetting the password. These instructions work for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x).

I'm new to the MAC world. I turned my computer on from 'sleep' mode, and a window was up stating that the IOS disk was full; asked me to force quit, then it just froze. It's been 2 hours. Help! I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Thx!

I'm worried about losing photos/videos of my children. Im not sure if there's something special I need to do once I turn it back on; in the meantime, its still on... which I'm afraid the picture on the screen will burn into the screen. Does that happen on iMac's? Thx!

Try a hard reset. ( holding Power til it restarts)
Once to your desktop. Click the Apple icon >> About this mac >> More info>> Storage
Once you see what you have the most of. Try to see what you can delete.
Open up any folder>>all files>> or buy an external to store more data.
Once deleting make sure you empty your trash.
If you are new and its a new computer, you might need to bring it to a store for further assistence.

Computer no longer Sleeping

I have an iMac G5(2nd Gen) with Leopard (10.5.3) and my computer will not sleep no matter what I do. I tried ejecting all external drives (Firewire and USB), turning off all USB devices, disconnecting from my wireless network, quitting all running applications including ones running in the menu bar but it still will not sleep. It will sleep manually by going to Apple Menu-->Sleep but if I try to set it up to automatically sleep in Energy Saver it will not. I also did some research online and found that HamachiX is a known for this but I don't use that program. I use LogMeIn Free but I quit out of it for the past three days. If I look in my console logs it says this.

Anybody have any idea what that means or why this occurring. Thanks in advance.

I tried what you suggested and even reset the PRAM to see if that would do anything and neither worked. I also turned off all screen savers, turned off bluetooth, disabled all startup items, and even tried a different partition i have with a clean install of 10.5.3 and that didn't sleep either. It it seeming to be more of a hardware issue but I am not sure. I went through and disconnected all my devices again just to try and still it fails to sleep even on the clean side where no apps are installed and nothing has been modified. My comp is out of warranty so if it is hardware I am stuck with it until I get a new machine. Anything else you can give me to try.

After installing recent java + security update, computer will not sleep

After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update. my computer will not sleep. Does anyone else have this problem? I do have an adaptec usb2 card installed but nothing is plugged into it. Also i don't have any Ipods or external things plugged in. I have had the same setup for the past year with no problems, now it will not sleep. I have also tried repairing the permissions. Please help

When you select Sleep from the Apple Menu nothing happens, is that correct? Try this: Go menu > Home > Library > Preferences. Drag the whole of the Preferences folder to the desktop. Restart your mac, don’t worry if things look different, you have not lost anything. Can the mac sleep now? If yes, then its a damaged or corrupted .plist or preference. If you are using Apple Mail, drag the com.apple.mail.plist back to the new preferences folder created on reboot, you dont really need anything else but keep hold of the old preferences (the one you dragged to your desktop) just in case for a month or two. If everything else is OK you can safely delete it. If it has not cured the problem then remove the new preferences folder created on reboot by taking it to the trash, drag back the preferences folder you moved to the desktop and reboot. Now reinstall a clean OS. See how you go from there

Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
Yours would be the 10.4.8 Combo update. Others reading, download the combo update that applies to you!

How to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite?

Does anybody know how to send computer screen to sleep whilst watching Apple TV via airplay using Yosemite? I've tried the hot key Shift + Control + Eject, but that sends the TV's screen as well as my iMac's screen to sleep at the same time. I don't want the 2 screens playing at the same time - I would like to send the computer's screen to sleep whilst the Apple TV continue's to play/mirror. Hoping someone knows how to do this?

Thanks Vazandrew for your detailed explanation. I think you've answered my question in that what I'm wanting to do is not possible because it is mirroring in its entirety, unless it is being done via iTunes.
I live in hope that Apple (can in-time) organise the same screen sleep capability that operates via iTunes for people wanting to stream regular online TV via iMac!
I would like to mark my question as answered by you, but had already checked the helpful star before going to mark the answered check mark. Didn't realise you could only mark one or the other…with no editing function.
Your explanation as to what is going on with the mirroring was much appreciated, as I couldn't figure out why the short cut keys worked sometimes (via iTunes) and not others (via regular streamed online TV).

Display Changes Resolution When Computer Wakes From Sleep

I have a MacBook Pro bought in May of 2006. In the last year, this problem has been getting progressively more annoying to me. When the computer wakes from sleep (not every time, but most of the time) the screen will flash blue, then reset the resolution to 640 x 480, I think. To fix it, all I have to do is go to System Preferences and change the resolution, but when I do that, it pops up two windows, like it thinks I have a dual display set up. To fix this, I always click 'detect displays,' and it fixes it, but the next time I wake the computer from sleep, it does it again. This isn't really an urgent problem, but I would expect my computer to behave a bit better for me.
Thank you in advance for any aid you might give me.
Lisel

Hi Lisel. I have a similar age MacBookPro that does the same thing. I don't really know how to fix it I'm sorry, I wish I did cause it's annoying. I just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one with this issue.
Basically, for some reason it thinks it has two displays connected, even when there isn't. To stop it being a total pain, make sure when it does come up with the two Display Pref windows to set them both to 1440x900, at least then when it does go dual display it won't be 640x480 and you can still read stuff.
I've also left the Display Pref icon on the top tool bar (next to the AirPort and Bluetooth and stuff), so I can just click that and Detect Displays. When it does that it figures out for itself it doesn't actually have two displays connected and so goes back to normal.
I know that's a workaround and not a fix, sorry. I'd be keen to know if anyone else has any better solutions:)
Thanks,
Mark.

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Computer goes to sleep whenever i try to render or save a large file

I have a g5 dual 2.7 running 10.4.6.
I almost only use photoshop cs and final cut pro 5. Everytime I try to render or export a fcp project or save a large photoshop file which takes more than say a minute to process the computer goes to sleep, the scree goes black and I can hear the hard drives stop whirring. There are some things which seem to be uneffected by this, but last night I wanted to render a 40 minute film in fcp, and left it rendering over night, when i came in in the morning it still said 50 minutes remaining, and it should not have been much more than an hour in total
can anyone help please.

You should check your Energy Saver settings in System Preferences. Change it so that it doesn't put your hard drive to sleep for at least 1 hour; longer if you know your rendering will take longer. Then, even if your monitor goes to sleep, your disks will keep running and the rendering should be completed.

Computer goes to sleep while I'm working

Hi everyone,
I was hoping someone can pinpoint my problem and help me fix it.
My computer goes to sleep while I'm working on it.
Just by itself. Sometimes right in a row.
Does anyone know any tips that I can use.
I copied the contents from Console.app
and here is what I found:
sleep demand recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n
Mar 1 08:49:24 My-G5 EÊæÔ[137]: sleeptime recorded: Thu Mar 1 08:14:57 2007\n\n

G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
(username is your name or System Administrators name)
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.

Desktop computer crashes after sleep mode since upgrade to Snow Leopard

Since I upgraded my power Mac to Snow Leopard in December, I've had nothing but problems, all of which appear to stem from when it comes out of sleep mode. This computer and all applications were rock solid in Leopard! I also have a mac book running identical programs and that IS rock solid on Snow Leopard. I have a 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon processor with 10 GB ram.
I did a complete re-install of SL and all programs as per the Apple instructions.
Basically, the computer crashes after sleep mode. I've tried all the fixes I've read on the net. Here is the report thread from the last crash. Does it mean anything or throw any light on the problem to anyone?
Thanks,
David Wright

The problem has been identified as the RME fireface400 audio driver. I've spent some considerable time experimenting to identify the culprit. It's clear that this is what is causing all my problems since Snow Leopard. Whether it's exclusively the drivers fault or partly also due to a conflict with apple SL, I don't know, but I have crash reports if apple want to see them.
From your first post, it appears you are using Fireface audio driver version 2.64. RME released a new Snow Leopard compatible driver (version 2.65) last December. It is available at RME: Downloads. (There is also a firmware updater for the Fireface 400 there, which you might want to check out.)
It isn't at all unusual for a new OS version to require new drivers for third party hardware. References to this can be found all over the web, in "read me" files & other documentation, etc. -- it doesn't just apply to OS X but to Windows & other OS's as well. (One of the biggest problems with Vista was poor third party driver support.) In fact, the X-Lab "Resolving Kernel Panics" article specifically cautions users to make sure all such drivers are current. See section 6.1 of that article for more details.
I don't know if you missed all this somehow, but if you haven't already downloaded & installed the new RME driver (& possibly the firmware update as well), then do so now. While you are at it, check for other similar updates for any other third party hardware devices you use, using the info in section 6.1 of the X-Lab article as a guide.
Hopefully, this will resolve your issue, which (as already mentioned) is kernel panics, not crashes. If you still have problems, post more about them, being mindful of the difference between application crashes & kernel panics. Because they are fundamentally different, they have different cures, so we will need to know which type they are to offer effective help.

FireWire drive unmounting/disapering when computer returns from sleep

I have a problem since the latest software update 10.4.10
that my WD 500GB FW800 drive keeps unmounting/disapearing after
the computer returns from sleep, and subsequently issuing a unclean unmount message!
Toggling the drive power restores it and so far no data is lost... I hope..

Well, yesterday I decided to do some troubleshooting to confirm the source of the problem. I connected a different external hard drive using the same USB2 cable that I was using with the problematic WD Mybook. I performed flawlessly and showed no issues with not being accessable after the computer woke from sleep. Next I connected the same drive via Firewire 400. Also no issues. That seemed to confirm that there was a problem with the WD drive! However, just to be sure, I reconected the WD Mybook with the original USB cable and gave it another whirl. It has also been performing flawlessly for the past day!
Possibilities:
1 There was minor oxidation on the contacts of the cable or in the drive socket which gave a poor connection resulting in the problem. Removing and replacing the cable several times removed the oxide and restored proper electrical contact and drive operation.
2 Something in the WD Mybook firmware "reset" when it was unpowered for a few hours, also restoring proper operation. WD's website states that the Mybooks are able to remain in standby mode for long periods of time but that they recommend they be powered down when not in use.
It would be interesting to see if anyone else can confirm that their Mybooks begin to operate properly after "giving them an unpowered rest" or by cleaning the USB connections.
I know how to keep my Mybook operational for now, but I will likely have to ditch it when I move to a multi FW bus computer in the future (unless WD can correct their firmware).
Cheers

Computer goes to Sleep, but doesn't wakeup

Hello,
I just completed a build per below, and mostly issues have been resolved. two nagging issue remains: my computer goes into "sleep" mode overnight and it doesn't wakeup in the morning; I have to cut power and restart. If I test immediately after placing computer in sleep mode, I can resurrect the computer normally. But if I wait overnight, computer doesn't respond and my only recourse is to cut power and restart.
I am using a wireless keyboard, but even with a USB keyboard I have the same issue. Comments appreciated.
ACPI = Enabled
ACPI Suspend = S1(POS)
Video off in suspend = yes
Suspend time = Disabled
Wakeup Event = Default
A 2nd issue involes the wireless keyboard. On boot, computer stops and notes "No keyboard attached." It is correctly cataloging an error since the driver isn't yet loaded, right? I am dead in water at that point. The only option is to set the BIOS so that it doesn't "Halt on keyboard error", right? This way it will continue to boot, load the driver, and I should be OK? Is this the mechamism that is normally used with a wireless keyboard/mouse? Thx.
Scott
PS I just flashed bios to version 7.5; I presume problem will still exist with this version, but haven't verified.

Try enabling "USB legacy support" in bios for this one.

Everytime my computer goes to sleep it goes offline.

everytime I walk away and my computer goes to sleep it goes off line and I have to put my admin password to get in. the password is saved in the keychain.
annoying!!!
thanks for any help I can get!!!!

Your computer will go offline when it goes to sleep.
If you don't want it to go offline, then you shouldn't let it go to sleep.
There are applications on the app store etc that can prevent your computer from falling asleep.
Go to System Preferences ---> Security and Privacy.Uncheck "Require Password .......".
Then you won't have to key in your password when waking up.

My computer can't sleep
