Reconnect NAS after wake up

Hi,
If I set my Macbook Pro to standby mode and let it wake up again, the connection to the network drive in my network attached storage is lost. I have to reconnect manually using the apple-k command.
Is there a way to get these drives reconnected after wake-up automatically? This is definitely no issue with Windows - I wonder why it should not be possible on Mac.
(I am not talking about rebooting the machine, but about waking it up from standby - reconnecting automatically after a reboot can be done easily by adding the drives to my startup objects).
Thanks
Simon

Hi Tomasz
One question;
Do you speak about an external soundcard which is connected via USB to the notebook or do you speak about the inbuilt Realtek soundcard!!!
I know about a similar sound issue on Vista OS.
I have read in the Microsoft knowledge base about similar problems;
Please check this:

Please provide more details if this patch will not help you!

AirPort won't reconnect after wake in OS 10.6.7

My iMac will no longer reconnect to my WiFi network after restart or wake from sleep. I have to manually add my network (configured with hidden SSID so I have to type in the name and password) and then the connection is fine, until next sleep. This only affects one of the two iMacs on our home network, and only started recently. I searched these discussions and only found old threads for OS 10.4 which don't apply as the Network Preferences dialog has changed. I tried restarting the AirPort base station, turning AirPort on and off, and uninstalling Norton firewall I(which I thought might have been the culprit), all to no avail. I use OS 10.6.7, and an AirPort Extreme. The network uses WPA2 Personal security.
How can I get AirPort to reconnect after wake again? Any tips appreciated. Thanks.

It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease". Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

Airport issue after wake from sleep (lion)

With 10.6, this was not a problem. With Lion, very often after wake up from sleep mode, the system is unable to reconnect to my airport extreme base station. Killing the prefs in the library did not help. Any suggestions?

My wife's Macbook has EXACTLY the same problem and I've been through dozens of suggestions trying to fix it and the problem still persists.
The problem started right after I upgraded to Snow Leopard but also installed an Airport Extreme router and WPA2 wireless encryption. I've deleted all the networks, changed the order to put the Airport as the highest preference, deleted all the keys on the keychain, ran DiskUtility, all to no avail.
I'm not sure if this is somehow related to the Airport Extreme or occurs with any router. Also, have another MacBook Pro (unibody), and it does't have this problem connecting to the same Airport Extreme.
The other factor is it is intermittent --- and doesn't always fail. Rebooting the Macbook or the router will get it to re-connect, as will shutting off and turning on the Airport several times. But that's not a solution to the problem.
Apple needs to pay attention to this as many people are now reporting the problem.

MBP takes long time to restore wired network connection after wake-up

Hello...
My Mid-2010 MBP (MacBookPro6,2) has been experiencing this problem recently -- Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, it needs approximately 10 seconds to restore its wired network connection. I know there are other annoying connection issues with MBP's WiFi/AirPort out there, but I'm talking about the wired connection here.
Maybe some don't even think this slowness is a problem at all, but this laptop used to be network-ready right after wake-up until 3~4 months ago. That was around the time when I upgraded to SSD and changed some settings via pmset, not sure if that's the culprit. It is now running OS X 10.8.5 and its pmset settings are:
Battery Power:
lidwake              1
ttyskeepawake        1
hibernatemode        3

Maybe try this, i am not sure that it will resolve the problem, but it is worth trying anyways.

Hi All,
I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition. The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
party applications. Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem. I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
with network adapters.
The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service. The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah". Here's how to disable this service
in Windows 7:
Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved. If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Aaron

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

Force external drive to remain in stand by after Wake up

I have a WD My Book external drive connected to my iMac 27" via USB 3.0
The drive is initially in a stand by mode (drive doesn't spin, it's visible in disk utility).
Now when backup script starts, it first checks to see if drive is mounted. If it's not it then mounts it (drive begins to spin), then the backup process starts, and lastly the disk is ejected (drive stops spining, it's again in standby)
All this works, however my problem is when my mac wakes from sleep, drive automatically starts to spin and is mounted. I want the drive to always remain in stand by except from when it is manually mounted.
How can I achieve such a thing? I have tried the folowing:
Disabling the USB Mass storage: requires restart and results in all USB ports being disabled, which is unaccepted
Setting the drive to "Power up in Stand By feature" with linux command "hdparm": Even tho hdparm says the disk supports this feauture, I've got I/O error
Setting the jumper to proper position to enable PUIS: the white lid is switched on, but nothing happens (not visible in disk utility)
Adding the line in /etc/fstab to prevent auto mounting, which partially works. (drive still spins after wake up)

Thanks for your reply.
There is only the spinning wheel in the finder sidebar when it is actually backing up.
Not after it has finished according to the progress bar in TM Preferences. When that has finished, the Hard Drive just carries on gurguling and ticking.
Until I drag the volume icon to the trash then it stops. AND I have just noticed the wheel starts spinning in the finder window after I have done this and it starts backing up again. It does not eject but I get a notice saying " Is in use could not be ejected. Try quitting applications and try again." (well I do have applications open). Then after this back up all is quiet. But the cycle starts off again after the next sheduled backup starts.
I can not see anything called backupd in activity monitor while the noise is current.
The only activity seems to be from "Activity Monitor" "Finder" "System Preferences" "SystemUIServer"
In 'Console' under All Messages it says Backup Completed succesfully. followed by
kernel............SetCryptoKey R: len 32, idx 1
Sorry I can't make things any clearer.

Mouse settings don't stay as selected after wake-up

I am having a weird issue with my mouse tracking settings. I want them to be fast (all the way to the right), so when I got my Mac 4 years ago I set them that way.
For a week now they "jump back" to about medium speed after wake up. I have to go back and manually change it back to fast again.
Any idea why the settings are not saved?

Sorry one corrections I am running the latest OS X all my software is up to date

Can't see NAS after upgrade to 10.8

Help - I can't see my NAS after upgrade to Mountain Lion OS on my macbook air. I just see a blank window using command+shift+K -- used to see my drive.

Hi,
Check with the manufacturer of your NAS, there may be a patch/firmware update available, or one in the works. Not all software/hardware manufacturers get their drivers, or updates, to Apple in time for distribution, or they haven't tested their products with ML.
Cheers,

MacBook Pro Retina Mountain Lion + Dell U2713hm hangs after wake-up

This is a more specific description of my problems here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4385171
I use a Dell U2713hm together with a MacBookPro Retina under Mountain Lion. The Dell is connected via the Thunderboldt to DVI-D adapter that is sold by apple. The Dell has a USB 3 Hub. The upstream is connected to the Apple-DVI adapter. I use a mouse and a Logitech keyboard, which are connected to the Dell USB hub.
The display blanks from time to time for some seconds, which is suboptimal and I would be greateful if this could be fixed. But the biggest problem is that the system hangs after wake up. Sometimes the external monitor just stays dark, sometimes I get the login screen, but cannot type since the swapping wheel is shown. I have to reboot the machine.
To me this looks like a USB(3) sync problem.
If there are any ways around this I would be really glad. Is there a way to disable USB3? I also noticed that the speed of components that is displayed in the system profiler depends on the ports I use for keyboard, mouse and camera ...
Thanks!

The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
Hope this helps.

BUG: Sandisk USB flash drive in "half-mounted" state after wake from sleep

My Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB Flash Drive is left in a half-mounted state after wake from sleep. The Finder believes the drive is still mounted, the icon is on the Desktop. However opening a file on the drive, or trying to eject the drive, results in a long beach ball, followed by a message that I removed the drive without Ejecting it first. The same drive continues to work fine on my Tiger machine, and on PCs.
Bug Report:
Setup:
Macbook 1st Gen (2.0 Ghz)
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Clean Install
Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB USB Flash Drive (in either port)
Repro:
Plug in the drive.
Close the MacBook to put it to sleep
Reopen the MacBook
Result:
The lights on the flash drive never light back up after wake from sleep. Navigating the drive, or trying to eject it results in a "you removed the device without ejecting it first" message.
Expected:
Drive should still be mounted and accessible after waking back up.

It may be a design flaw in the device. Mac OS X does a lot more power management than most other OSes, including tearing devices down to little or no power during sleep. It is possible that the device simply misbehaves due to corrupted memory state or reports a substantially different GUID or something similarly bizarre upon wake. (Okay, that last one wouldn't technically be a power management issue....)
If it doesn't have any problems except when sleeping the system, I would just make sure I unmounted it before putting the machine to sleep and wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check with Sandisk to see if they have a firmware updater for the device.

Can't connect to my LG NAS after downloading LION

Hi all - first post.
Can't connect to my LG NAS after downloading LION. Basically thats it, since downloading Lion for some reason I can't access my NAS. Anyone got any suggestion

I have the same problem with my Conceptronic CH3HNAS and have found a free and easy solution.
Since a lot of people report they are able to access their NAS using apps other than the Finder itself, I decided to look for a free Lion-compatible File Manager to use instead of Finder.
I have found muCommander ( http://www.mucommander.com/ ) and indeed it works fine. All I did was click on the button highlighted bellow, go to "bonjour services" and select my NAS. It prompted me for my username and password and voilá, it works fine.
I keep Finder for everyday use and just load muCommander when I want to access the NAS. At least now I don't have to start my WinXP VM anymore just to access it.
Hope it helps you.

After update to 10.7.1, Wifi retrieved after wake up from sleep?

Anyone who had "no wifi after wake up from sleep @ MBA 2011 " issue before, is this fixed after 10.7.1 update installed? Any tester please drop your comment.

In another Mac forum saying that after the 10.7.1 update, need to reset the PRAM to get this issue solved.

Left USB-Port dead after wake from sleep. Just restart helps.

I hoped Apples keyboard-Update today would solve my biggest hate-bug in this buggy POS called Leopard. It didn't.
As usual on my Leopard-Macbook Pro, no device will work on the left USB-Port after I waked the computer from sleep. Just a restart helps. I hoped this update to solve this, because it replaced among others "IOUSBFamily.kext".
Terminal gives a timeout error for the internal USB-Hub after wake from sleep. I assumed this should be related.
I'm really angry now.
When will Apple solve the most urgent problems in Leopard?
Was 10.5.1 just smoke and mirrors to make (fool people into...) people upgrade who intended to wait until the first maintenance-update?
Was Leopard Apples attempt to make Windows-Users more comfortable by putting in some heavy extra-bugs and blue screens?
FIX IT FINALLY! And f... don't wait for Macworld to release 10.5.2. It's desperately needed and the current state of Leopard will leave some people very sad at christmas after getting their first Mac. First impression counts and many more peoples first contact with the Mac will be at christmas...

Apple knows the problem and for some reason they are stumped on fixing it. this is so bad I can't believe it. On my macbook pro with Leopard installed, USB left port is dead after sleep. Only restarting can power it back up. I have to restart every day to use my external hard drive for time machine or when putting my flash drive in the port.
Come on already Apple. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS problem.
Fix it.
