My T400 won't stay in sleep or hibernate after some update

Howdy.........a couple of weeks ago I applied some updates to my T400 through Thinkvantage maybe......honestly I don't remember. But it was recommended updates for my machine to things like Power Manager and Access Connections.
After I did that, I've run into some issues I did not have before and am very frustrated with!
The main one I think relates to Power Manager. I'm at v3.6.4 now. No idea what I was at before. I like to have the machine set up to go into hibernate when I close the lid. It does that.....but immediately after it resumes 99.9% of the time. Same is true if I select 'hibernate' from the start logo. I have idle timers to put it into sleep after so many minutes and hibernate after so many more. But when it does, it immediately resumes. So it's an endless cycle.
I've made sure that "Wake on" is off in the bios and in the network adapter settings.
The other issue I have is that after the 0.1% of the time that it stays in hibernate, when I come back to resume, my external monitor (I extend my desktop across the Thinkpad and an external monitor) is not recognized as what it is but instead is listed as "Generic PnP monitor" and is unusable because it just shows "Out of range" and "60Hz" on the monitor. Only rebooting fixes that from what I can tell.
I've since tried reinstalling the monitor's driver, downloading and reinstalling Power Manager manually......no changes. Has anyone else had this difficulty or just know how to fix it? I'm going crazy with it.....

hey mplehning,
welcome to the forums.
try uninstalling all ThinkVantage software and drivers from your system.
see if you're able to put your unit into sleep/ hibernate mode.
then install each software one by one and test after each installation on whether your unit can be place into sleep/hibernate mode.

How do I disconnect my Facebook account from my Apple device that has iOS 6?
Open your Settings in iOS
Scroll down and tap Facebook
Tap your name > Delete Account
This disconnects your account from your Apple device, but it won't delete your Facebook account or deauthorize apps that you’ve already approved

ITunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update.

iTunes won't start and asks to reinstall after iTunes10 update. I have tries reinstalling, but it comes up with it again. I have uninstalled every Apple program and reinstalled them but still the same.

What's the precise text of your message, Callum? There's a few different ones I can think of that mention reinstalling iTunes.

Calendar won't stay open and turns off after one second

after a recent applications install my calendar won't stay open for more than a second and can't be utilized. I've reset and restored. What next? I'm suspicious that the restore is using the same corruted file. Can I rsetore from my Time capsule?

Restore "as new", as opposed to "from a backup", if you haven't already. I'm surprised a reset didn't solve the problem.

Book won`t stay open in media overdrive after ios 7 install

In Media Overdrive my book won`t stay open after ios7 install. Please help!

I got the same problem with my iphone 5 rear camera and tried the solutions suggested here but it did not work.
The camera application which came with ios7 is frozen as soon as it opens. I does not take photos or switch between cameras.
I have been able to use the front camera with Snapseed, QR reader . however no application is able to open my rear camera.
I am not sure but it can related with the application updates either ios7 or the camera applications already installed on our iphone. Uninstalling those apps which has access to camera and rebooting may solve the problem. This is just an idea !

T61 WinXP won't stay in Standby or Hibernate

I have a T61 running WinXP that will not stay in Standby or Hibernate modes. Any time I force the computer to go into Standby or Hibernate, it enters the sleep state then immediately resumes.
Here is a list of things I have attempted:
- Updated drivers for video and network
- Disabled Intel AMT
- Disabled firewall and antivirus
- Disabled network cards to wake on LAN (both in the BIOS and in Device Manager)
- Nothing in the Event Log
- No processes are running when performing standby or hibernate
- Unpugged USB devices
- Disabled wireless (WiFi and Bluetooth)
- Created another local user account and confirmed the problem still exists
- Ran CCleaner for my temp files and registry clean
- No applications running when I attempt sleep mode
Other than reimaging the computer, is there anything else I can do? The symptoms started after I installed the DirecTV2PC software, which I have uninstalled.

I have the same issue. I've tried a number of things which I listed down below and they are in the order that I did them for the most part. The issues that I have are the laptop will not shut down from start menu, it'll shut down for a second then boot back up.
Running XP SP3 possibly downgraded from Vista Basic, I say this because it is a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop I got from work and has a Vista Basic sticker on the palm rest but running xp. Can't standby or hibernate, can only shut down holding power button for 4 sec. When I close the lid it will go into standby, (the indicators will go to the half moon, then will jump back to battery. Same goes for trying hibernate and shutdown from the start menu.
From all the options that I've tried, if I enabled them or changed any settings and the change didn't fix the issue, I reset the settings to what they previously were. I talked a network manager who had the same problem where he claimed to have fixed it with some registry settings that he can't remember which ones there were.
1) Checkdisk
2) Defragmenting HDD
3) Cleaned up Hard Drive of temp files
4) Can't properly shutdown from safe mode.
5) Uninstalled Alternative Input Type from Office 2003 (ctfmon.exe)
6) registry edited “powerdown after shutdown” to enabled
7) Unchecked “automatically restart” in system failure settings of startup and recovery in system properties.
8) msconfig: unchecked LPMGR in startup, unchecked thinkvantage registry monitor service in services.
9) Enabled AMT in bios. Changed thinkvantage power control to all modes, and enabled intel amt while cntrl+p options.
10) Reset all options in #9 to default.
11) Updated ACPI Power Management, Management Engine FW and Power Manager from Lenovo site.
12) Updated Bios, uninstalled power manager, uninstalled power management driver both with revo, used ccleaner to clean registry
13) Restarted and installed power management driver and installed power
Any other suggestions? I also tried shutting down without the battery and the laptop plugged into the wall but same deal. I'm trying to find a solution without 1) having to send the laptop into tech support for them to fix or 2) completely reinstalling the OS.
Thanks in adavnced for any help.

My iMac won't deep sleep/hibernate after last update

I use my iMac almost everyday (sometimes except of weekends) and one of first things I did when I bought it I somehow turned on hibernation function which I use on my MacBook (RAM->HDD and power off). It's very useful for me since the next day I get everything where I left it and it uses no energy during the night.
Yesterday I finally had to reboot my iMac for some reason and decided it would be a good time to make updates which needed the OS restart anyway - it was one Safari update and I think one OS update. After my iMac rebooted and I pressed power button - instead of showing the screen in gray and progress bar of saving RAM to HDD my screen turned off and I could turn on my Mac by just pressing any key on the keyboard - which means it just went to sleep mode - not "deep sleep" or "hibernate".
I don't remember how I made hibernation work on my iMac. I tried the "pmset -a hibernatemode 1" trick, few apps like InsomiaX, SmartSleep (showing "hibernate only"), Deep Sleep widgets but none of them works. Do you know any other way to turn on deep sleep/hibernation mode on my desktop mac?
PS. "pmset -g" returns:
Active Profiles:
AC Power -1*
Currently in use:

My connection works OK but I have the same problem you describe occasionally. Seems to be an intermittent problem with the HDMI socket in my PB.

IMac wakes from sleep by itself after security update 2010-001

Since installing last weeks security update 2010-001, my iMac has suddenly started waking up when it should be asleep. Now I've had Auto Sleep problems with my iMac before, but this problem of finding my iMac running when I left it asleep started immediately after the update. Now, one thing additional I've notice since the update is that I often see the message on the screen "Keyboard Connected" when it always was or should have been and I wonder if this is related to my iMac waking up. Anyone else seen this problem since the update or have any ideas?

Thanks to you both for suggestions, but I still have the same problem after trying them and as I said in my title this only started after the 2010-001 security update. As a test I put my iMac to sleep at 13:35 and it woke up by itself at 13:46. Here is the console log below, does it help at all in finding the root cause?

G4 sleep mode problem after latest update (10.5.8 build 9L30)

Hi,
My 'old faithful' 17" G4 PowerBook 1.67GHz behaves differently after the latest SW update to 10.5.8 build 9L30:
When ordered to go to sleep mode (german: "Ruhezustand") either by Apple-menu command or closing the display does no longer result i slowly flashing white standby-LED but the LED remains dark and the PowerBook will not resume when the display is flipped open again or the power-button is pressed.
It can only be reactivated with <ctrl><apple><power-button>.
Before that, it behaved as expected i.e. resuming operation after flipping the display open again or pressing any keyboard key when in power save mode.
The behaviour is the same if operated without attached power supply.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance
Ulrich

Sleep becomes Coma after keyboard update

Ever since I updated the keyboard firmware on my MacBook Pro, anytime the machine goes to sleep for more than a few minutes it lapses into a coma that requires a restart. No matter what keys I press, the machine is unresponsive. The only solution I have found is to hold down the power key until it reboots.
Is anyone else seeing this?

MacBook won't stay connected to preferred network after sleep

Anytime our MacBooks (good ole white) go to sleep, they wake up and need to be connected to the preferred network again. I attempt to only connect with Preferred Networks, but that does not resolve the issue. I only want it to see the preferred networks and it continues to sit around while I tell it where to link.
Any ideas? I have a netgear router and 2 Macbooks that are having the issue. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and continue to experience the same problem... lovely grayed out signal and a prompt to connect to some network.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Won't stay in sleep mode

I have a new Satellite L355D running Vista. It is set to sleep when I close the lid. But often it "wakes up" even though the lid is still closed.
I have set the BIOS to disable the "awake on LAN" feature.
Any other ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I can now answer my own question. I use a wireless mouse with this laptop. I went to Device Manager/USB and right clicked on the mouse to bring up Properties. The box "wake computer on mouse movement" was checked. Unchecking it solved the problem.

Won't stay in sleep mode, mouse freezes

In the past months, iMac has become like a toddler -- doesn't want to sleep. Put it in sleep mode, and it does so for a few seconds, then it wakes again and the mouse cursor is frozen. I have to unplug/plug the mouse back in TWICE (never once, always twice) and try again for sleep mode. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. After 2 go-arounds, I often just shut it down. I have tried other USB ports and get the same results. I would use the wireless mouse, to see if this is a software problem, but I put it in such a safe place, now I can't find it. LOL
Any ideas?

T400 won't wake up or start up after leaving it on all night

I just bought a T400, downgraded from Vista Business to Win XP SP3 and installed all of the win xp drivers. When I leave my computer on all night, the next morning I will have issues waking the computer up. I try FN+F3, FN+F4 (to force it to sleep), FN+F12 but nothings works other than pressing the power button and forcing a hard shut down.
For power management I did stop hard disk rotation after 3 minutes, enter system standby never, and hibernation never. If the hard disk rotation is, I can disable it, but is there a way to start the computer up afterwards?
Anyon else have this issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That didn't work on my T400. Mine will not enter standby or hibernate and it just hangs. I have to do a hard reboot to get back in the system. In isolating the problem I have found out that Access Connections is the offending software. Once disabled, the system works fine. However, I lose the functionality of Access Connections which is a pretty slick program.
