Press power button once - MBP goes to sleep, Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏) doesn't.

Hello, i've read here http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20131025154203251 and somewhere else, that in Mavericks, pressing the Power Button once, puts your screen to sleep.
But after reading here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5869 seems that it doesn't.
I also noticed that by pressing it once, your mac goes to sleep, but not immediatly.
So is the only way to put only the screen to sleep is by using Shift-Control-Media Eject (⏏) ?
Thank you

@speleofool Thanks for posting and congratulations on the new device! The Nexus is a great phone! Regarding your issue about waking up, this is very odd for a new device. I did some research and it seems this is not a known issue with the phone. I would recommend doing the following steps:
Settings>Apps>Choose all Apps>choose System UI>clear data>force stop.
This will stop your screen from freezing and wake up when it should. I would make it a practice to clear data from apps that give you trouble. I hoped this helps. Thanks.

  • My new mac mini with Maverick does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or Apple-Sleep mode.

    Hi.
    I have my new mac mini with Maverick that does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or menu Apple-Sleep mode. He goes only to something like stand-by  (power lid is on; after i turn off and then turn on the power he does not wake up just starting). I tried "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X", tried mode 0,1,3, and even 25. nothing helps. he goes to deep sleep (when all data on HDD) only first time after i change hibernatemode couple times and force it to sleep. Today i even tried to force it to sleep (menu Apple-Sleep mode) and NOT turn off the power for whole night, in the morning he is in this "stand-by" mode anyway.
    Could anyone help me please? i need it sleep but don't want to keep my power on for whole night.

  • Press Power Button to Sleep

    Help for Sys Pref / Energy Saver / options says that,
    "To put your computer to sleep by pressing the power button once, select the checkbox labeled “Allow power button to sleep the computer.”
    I don't see that option on the screen under the options tab (or any tabs) under energy saver.
    Suggestions?

    HI Rick,
    I might have figured this out. You have a G5 running 10.5.7 ... The conflict is that option maybe not be available to your G5. I just looked on my G4 and it's not available in Tiger in Options. I think it's your hardware that's the issue.
    Have you been able to do this prior to this? Or are you referring to your MacBook ??

  • I've installed Mavericks on my Mac Pro. It works well, generally, but will not stay sleeping! Pressing the power button twice sometimes extends the sleep mode but even that seldom results in a full overnight sleep.  File sharing off. What else can help?

    Hi fremley,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This article may be helpful with determining why your Mac Pro doesn't stay in sleep mode:
    Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
    Some things reset the sleep timers, preventing the computer from sleeping:
    Hard drive access (even if you're not using the computer, a running application might be accessing your drive, such as when downloading a large file or listening to music in iTunes)
    Moving the mouse or using a portable Mac's trackpad, pressing a mouse button, or pressing a key on the keyboard
    Some System Preferences settings (see below)
    Open applications (see below)
    Input devices (see below)
    Expansion cards (see below)
    Additional drives, such as USB, FireWire, DVD, or CD drives (see below)

  • My iPad doesn't seem to charge when plugged in to my MacBook Pro if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone continues to charge even if the MBP is closed. Is that normal?

    My iPad (3rd Gen) seems to stop charging if it is plugged into my MBP if either the iPad is closed or if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone charges whether the MBP is awake or asleep or even if the MBP is closed. There is a screen display that shows the iPhone is charging. The iPad only has the tiny icon at the top of the screen that show it is charging. However, the battery's % charged does not increase if the lid is closed when I am charging the iPad if the lid is closed on the iPad or if the iPad off after pressing the on off button. Is this normal?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

  • My MacBook Pro will not "wake up" once it goes to sleep.  Mac OS 10.6.8  Please advise.  Thanks!

    My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 will not respond to any key of pad once it goes to sleep.  I need to hold the power button down, then close the lid, open the lid and hit the power button for it to re-boot.  I have tried having Disk Utility fix permissions and that has not helped.  I would sure appreciate any and all asistance.
    Thanks!

  • Thunderbolt Display Turns Off/MBP Goes to Sleep in Clamshell when MagSafe unplugged

    My battery is fine, but I can't use my 2011 15" 2.2ghz MBP + Thunderbolt Display in clam shell mode without being plugged into power from MagSafe. Disconnect the cable, Thunderbolt quits and MBP goes to sleep.
    This drains battery by being constantly plugged in.
    I updated my the TB firmware today when prompted. Problem existed before and after.
    Let me know what's up, very annoying.

    The internal battery could handle the extra power needed when using the external display, but OS X (or maybe the firmware) doesn't allow clamshell mode without external power.
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131>
    If it did, the extra discharging and charging would mean replacing the battery sooner.

  • MacBookPro 15.4 keep freezing up with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart

    MacBookPro15.4 less than a year old keep freezing/locking with black dialog box to press power button until off and restart THEN repeat successive times after restarting it?

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents – the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.

  • Mac Mini repeatedly getting "Press power button and restart your computer"

    I keeping getting the following message coming up on my Mac Mini "Press power button and restart your computer". I have a G4 Mac mini and it boots up fine and runs ok for about 10 mins however after that time (if left) the message comes up. I restart the machine and the same thing happens again.

    Isolate the cause as my FAQ suggests. Backup, or recover your data first*
