Shared drives missing on wake-up from sleep

Following the Yosemite installation (clean) my MBP (late 2008) loses shared drives on the network when woken from sleep.
To give more detail, I have three TimeCapsules that are also used for shared data. One drive holds the iTunes library (now over 1TB in size) and the others are used for TimeMachine backups. Each drive has a shared volume on it, and it is these that "disappear" the following day when I wake the MBP from sleep. If I then restart the Mac, all the shares are back without issue. This only happens over night after the Mac has been put to sleep for an extended length of time.
When you run Airport Utility after the Mac wakes, it can 'see' the Internet, but none of the devices. Again, if you restart the Mac, Airport Utility then 'sees' the network correctly.
This looks to me like a power/network issue in Yosemite on older Macs.
Any one got thoughts on this?

As a work around, I have been keeping Airport Utility open all the time.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Desktop icons missing after wake up from sleep

I use my old Mac Pro with Lion installed controlled from my new Mac Pro in a setup with Apple Remote Desktop. Everytime the old Mac wakes up after a sleep all desktop icons is missing. I asume that they are "off screen". Further more all Finder dialogs will be hidden in the lower left corner of the screen and impossible to click on "ok" buttons.
I doesn't help to change the monitor resolution. I have been doing so many different things and been looking on the net for long time!
The old Mac runs Vienna Ensemble Pro and this app will not let you quit without "asking" again and again "do you want to quit" and so on. Finally I have to go to the computer room next to my studio and turn off the machine!!
Any hints to why this is happening and how to correct it is very much appreciated!

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

Leopard won't wake monitor from sleep on Power Mac G4

I had no problems with my Power Mac dual G4 867 while running Tiger, but immediately after a clean install of Leopard (a fresh install - no third party apps) my Dell 17 inch LCD monitor will not wake from sleep.
The monitor comes on just fine when the computer first boots, but if the computer sleeps, and I wake it by hitting a key on the keyboard, the drives spin up and I can hear that it thinks it's working just fine, but the monitor won't wake.
I know that the computer is working fine despite the sleeping monitor because I can hear VoiceOver working after a clean install of Leopard (if I let it sleep after the Welcome movie) while asking for user information.
I reinstalled Tiger, and the problem disappeared. The monitor wakes reliably from sleep with a fresh, clean install of Tiger. But with Leopard, even turning off and on or unplugging the monitor doesn't wake the screen.
I have reset the PRAM, the PMU, and the Open Firmware (the firmware is up to date). I even opened the case and pulled and re-seated the video card. Nothing seems to work, so I have just set the computer to never sleep. Not a great option, given the insane fan volume in the G4 MDD model.
Thanks for any suggestions anyone can offer.

I'm having similar problems with both a new MacBook Pro and a new Mac Mini, both connected via a Gefen DVI switch to a Dell 2005FPW monitor. Putting the MacBook Pro to sleep while in dual monitor mode will crash the machine. Putting the Mac Mini to sleep won't crash it, but the monitor won't wake—the computer wakes, but the monitor stays black. I can use Screen Sharing to connect to the Mac Mini and restart it (the only fix, as far as I can tell).
I suspect this is a software issue, because my old PPC Mac Mini would usually wake from sleep. The Gefen support people say this shouldn't be happening.
Anyone having this problem should probably post it as a bug at Apple's Feedback page. I think reinstalled, resetting PRAM etc. is probably a waste of time. Meanwhile, don't sleep your monitor.

TS1367 I am asking this question about my 27 inch iMac Desktop Computer. I normally use my Laptop and very seldom use the desktop but was going to download the new software earlier today. I could not wake it from sleep.

The other evening we had a storm and lightening hit a house a few doors from me. It jolted my chair but that seemed to be all here. I use my laptop most of the time but since there was a software download I went to my 27 inch iMac and could not wake it from sleep. The light on the keyboard is not lit either. I have this connected to a Battery Backup Power so do not know what has happened or what to do. When I push the power button to try to turn it on nothing happens. There is no shound, no video, nothing; however the disk drive that does my time maching backup has a light on it and the other things that are plugged into the battery power pack also have lights on them. The printer is on and says it is ready to print. Since I cannot boot it up I do not know what to do to even try to get it started. I did not know what would happen if I put the first start up disk in the external disk drive and try that or not. The internal drive is broken. I do not have any repair shops or apple stores around me at all less than 150 miles away and I am disabled with 24/7 help and oxygen so can not take it in. Are there any suggestions that anyone can give me. I have not been able to find any way to reset the backup battery pack either. It is a Tripp-Lite. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

Hp laptop doen't wake up from sleep

Hi. i bought an hp 250 laptop 7 month ago from budapest and during this 8month i have done every thing to make it usable but still its not usable. first for long time i used days and nights to try different operating systems and googling solutions and downloading and installing drivers and making sure windows and drivers are up to date. then I gave the laptop to support service and after long time i noticed they just changed motherboard but problem is same as before. i gave back the laptop for second time and they changed the ram that was also faulty but again the sleep mode problem was same. i tried changing operating system and updating drivers and bios again but the problem was same. so for the 3rd time i asked hp central guarantee service to help me this time with different repairer and i explained the problem and gave it and after i got back the laptop for 3rd time they said they changed motherboard again but again nothing problem changed about the sleep.shouldnt the guarantee change the laptop if they cant make laptop usable after 3 times i gave it to them? i think i will be affraid to buy any thing with hp label for my whole life now. please help me or let me know if i should just throw it away.

Hello all- I haven't seen a resolutoin posted on this so wanted to include my laptop which has a similar problem. It's a Toshiba Satellite L655D-S5145 running Windows 8. This is an intermittent problem and so far has been unpredictable in terms of repeating it, but when it happens essentially it will not wake up from sleep (or some unknown locked state) when the lid is opened from a closed position. Sometimes the fan can be heard running, and the 1st 3 lights are on as white. The normal sleep state has the 1st and 3rd lights white, with the 2nd one slowly blinking orange. The basic symptom is that the screen stays blank and I at first thought this was an intermittent monitor/hardware problem, but I am now thinking it is some type of subtle software or driver bug. If anyone runs across a definitive fix please post it. Doing a System Restore or the like is not an option for me at this point. ps- Toshiba support, if you're listening I am 100% confident that someone on your support or engineering teams knows what this problem is so please speak up

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.

Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep when express card inserted

Hi,
my macbook pro (no unibody, 10.5.7) wakes up from sleep when I have my express card 34 (Hama 16GB) inserted. Is there any trick to disable wake up when a drive is inserted? I tried to eject the disk before going to sleep with a shell script but it automounts the device... I attached my log... I hope somebody can help! Thanks a lot!

Hey, thanks 4 your response... Well I figured that out... I hoped that there was a way to prevent system calls, regarding devices, to wake up my macbook pro... something like: forbid interrupts while asleep
If you ever hear of a way to fix it please let me know...
I think a solution would be to disable automount on the express card device... I use it for my time machine backup and really DON'T want to remove the card every five minutes...
Cheers, Philipp

Disk Drive Ejecting When Woken Up From Sleep

Hello,
I noticed when my iMac wakes from sleep it sounds like the disc drive is ejecting?
I just received this iMac after returning another one with a pixel problem and I could swear that it didn't make the same noise when it wakes up from sleep.
Does anyone know anything about this ?
Thanks

They all did it by default but apple put out a firmware update a few weeks ago which stops certain drives doing this when woken up from sleep.

When Windows 8.1 wakes up from sleeping, the PAC Proxy can't work normally

Hi,
I'm using Toshiba WT8 Win8 Tablet.
When my tablet waked up from sleeping, the PAC Proxy can't normally work on the Modern UI IE, when I reconnect the WiFi, it will be ok without any other action.
Windows 8.1 and all drivers are up-to-date. No any anti-virus software.
There is a post I asked 4 days ago but can't solve my problem: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-networking/windows-81-wake-up-from-sleep-lost-pac-proxy/a19efe8e-70e4-4eed-a614-f11f62562a68?rtAction=1425959337664

Hi,
According to your another thread, your current Tablet system is Windows 8.1, isn't it? When this probelm occurs, could desktop IE works properly using PAC Proxy?
In addition, open Device Manager to check Wireless adapter driver settings, make sure " Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power " is unchecked.

Maverick will not wake up from sleep

Maverick will not wake up from sleep. i dont see any related issues. maybe i am the only one? Ive been trying to run maverick for the last 2 months. I thought everything was fine after I erased, reformated and partitioned the HD and installed Maverick on a clean drive...... and then i get the ? startup disk. And then when it does run, I cant let it go to sleep. It will not wake up from sleep. I get the spinning beach ball of death everytime. I leave my computer on and run to the grocery store and come back........ I have to shut my computer off from the control strip and push the start button, every time.
Anyone know if this will damage my computer??
I have selected the HD in the preferences startup; I've unplugged it for several minutes; started up in S mode; zapped the P ram; ran permissions; you name it. im at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should i buy another Mac? I cant afford one in this economy.

I suggest you use the Recovery Partition Disk Utility to check the hard disk and then re-install the OS from there.

Satellite P300-13J doesn't wake up from Sleep or Hibernate

My laptop (Windows Vista 32 bit) is unable to wake up from sleep or hibernate.
Laptop is set to the Balanced Power Scheme.
However, once the display has turned off (after 10 minutes), I am unable to wake it up.
Unable to open Task Manager, Shut Down, nothing works, all I see is a black screen, the disk access light blinking and the fan running.
I end up holding the power button to switch off.
This is a recent development, it might have started when I installed Office 2010 on the laptop.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Since when did you notice this issue?
Was this issue present after clean system installation?
How about the BIOS? Is it up to date?
I read in some threads that BIOS update could helps to sort out such similar problems.
So BIOS update is definitely worth a try.
Also the display driver update would be recommended. Of course just in case you are not using the latest version.
By the way: is Win 7 an option for you? The Win 7 is much better and lot of different issues which appeared in Vista system, have been foxed in Win 7

Since I upgraded to W10 this week, my laptop now will not wake up from sleep. I've searched around on the net and so far can only find people having problems putting their laptop to sleep. I did follow the advice from one of those on the HP forum, to upgrade a driver, which I figured couldn't hurt. It made no difference though. When I come to wake my computer up, which always was by just lifting the lid, now nothing. The power light will glow solid and the wifi light glows orange (as opposed to its usual white solid when machine is running). Other than that, noting. No button pressing or screen tapping of any kind will bring it to life and the only solution is to press and hold the power button to force full shutdown and start again. May be only 3 days into it but it's already driving me mad. Any suggestions welcome!ThanksJulie

Hmmm... I'm on the fence on that one as the software update is Microsoft's so the logical consumer in me says that it shouldn't be HP's responsibility to create the fix. I understand your frustration but from the legal perspective under the UK consumer law, I think HP may well be within their rights to deflect the liability to Microsoft - but that's a terrible example of customer service, after all you've got an HP machine...... BUT (devil's advocate here) HP haven't released the software update or prompted consumers to install it.... so from their point of view, they can probably quite rightly and fairly bury their heads in the sand. The warranty you will have for your machine probably will exclude software issues for anything other than factory installation or possibly HP's own updates. (that's me speaking as a former Trading Standards Officer, so not without a bit of knowledge on the matter...)
That said.............. I did follow the fix that was posted earlier and so far it's looking good. I've left my machine for over 2 hours and it sprung back into life every time today since I followed the BIOS update suggested.
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad response from HP "Customer Service" but nothing to stop you complaining about that..!! I'm a great fan of going straight to the top and Andy appears to be the current MD for HP. Whether or not they accept responsibilty for the issues we're all having, they still should be offering a higher standard of response and customer service than that - whoever's "fault" the problems are, they're certainly not the consumer's.

My iMac wont wake up from sleep

My first gen iMac G5 1.8 20" wont wake up from sleep. Always I have to plug out and then in the power cord from the outlet then I can turn on the computer.
Any suggestion?
Or is this the Apple's known The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?

You could also try the following;
If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

My mac won't wake up from sleep, what can i do

My mac won't wake up from sleep, what can i do

Can you say more about thermal cut-off? My mac has beene having problems waking from sleep and I have noticed that I hear the fan running ever so slightly in the background. When I depress the power button for a second the fan shuts off.
Just open the side an dlook to see which fan it is. The lower fands are easy to see as well as the video card fan.
When you push the power button and that fan goes off is the machine now fully off? No power light? No fans spinning? Now drives spinning?
I don't recall what I did when my machine shut off with the one exhaust fan running. I think the obvious thing I would have tried would have been to push power button for 10 seconds to shut it down fully. That or actually pull the plug.
When this happens the only way to use my Mac is to restart via the power button.
Then I guess that answers the first question. It must have turned off since pushing the power button again was the normal reboot.
I can't find any helpful info on thermal cut-off so I was wondering if you could explain what it is, what causes it, and more importantly what I can do to fix it?
That was my term for it. What else could it be? Without its fan video card would get extremely hot and throw off all that heat. Whats the point of having temperature sensors in so many places other than to use that info to protect the machine against damage due to overheating? So my assumption was card gets hot, sensor (probably the pci slot 1 temperature sensor) senses it, kills the machine. It's also seems logical to me that the circuit(s) handling temperature overloads would want to keep a exhaust fan running to dump the heat out of the machine to further protect any damage from the heat.

MBP Wakes itself from sleep

Hi, I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue.
My brand new MBP 15" 2.4 is waking from sleep all by itself, without me touching it. I've tried sending it to sleep on it's own, with displays and ext. HD's disconnected, I still get the same issue.
I've just caught my computer running in my bag with the lid shut and the fans absolutely blazing. Any thoughts?
It's only recently started doing this, and the only thing I can remember that is different is the recent firmware update - would this have anything to do with the problem I'm experiencing?

I experienced random wake up from sleep followed by an ejecting noise sound from the optical drive just like how one usually wakes it up from sleep.
My troubleshoot included the following:
1. Uncountable SMC reset
2. Go to this forum, read, and post
3. Re-install OS X 4 times
4. De-attach all peripherals, reboot, turn AirPort/Bluetooth off, with no Applications/Dashboard running, select Sleep from Apple menu
5. Close the lid manually
6. Keep a running log of time when MBP wakes up by itself, and how long it sleeps, brought it to my first trip to Genius Bar.
7. First trip to Genius Bar, and was sent home as the symptom did not reprodruce in front of them since it was random despite the log I showed
8. Second trip, symptom occured, problem acknowledged, and got it repaired. It was the Logic Board.
It wasn't a very pleasant experience at all, but ever since the fix, my MBP sleeps like a baby.
