Shortcuts after sleep issue

Hello,
I have new Apple Wireless Keyboard, it works just fine. But when I click to sleep from apple menu and sleep my mac then shortcuts doesn't work anymore after sleep. For example before sleep I press dashboard (F4) it works and show dashboard but after sleep nothing happen. I must restart mac and it works again.
Of course i have unchecked Use all F1,F2 etc.. as standard function keys..press the Fn key to use special features printed on each key.
Thanks for help

  • Has anyone solved the bluetooth pairing after sleep issue

    I still get this problem I wake my mac and no mouse ! it won't pair, prefs says its connected but its not. A reboot works, but whats the piont of that it should work..

    Great, done that appears to have done it. I will check after an extended sleep, as thats when it tends to go wrong.
    It is a bit tedious to have to keep ironing out Lion bugs. If I had spent £350 on a Windows machine I would expect this, but when I spend £2000 on a Mac I do feel it should just work.

  • Yosemite wake after sleep issue loginwindow stuck

    Do you know about any workaround until Apple fixes this?
    Other than going back to 10.9 or preventing sleep (with power cord).
    I have late 2013 Macbook Pro, which was fine before 10.10 upgrade.
    Apple:  I can provide technical details if needed.

    For anyone interested in this issue, I'm marking the topic as "answered" -- but only because the issue has gone away apparently on its own, not because of anything I have done. My only explanation for this is that maybe some bit of crud got into the keyboard & triggered a wake event & it eventually worked its way out or was removed by periodic dusting. It is a weak theory at best.
    Of course I'm happy to be rid of the issue but it is annoying not to know why it disappeared or what to do if it reoccurs.

  • Power/sleep issues after upgrading to 10.8.5

    mac mini
    2.6 GHz intel core i7
    512 SSD
    16 GB RAM
    everything was working beautifully for quite a long time, in fact, i've never had any issues at all.  upgraded to 10.8.5 build 12F37 last night and now the computer won't wake from sleep.  it has to be forced off and then restarted in order to get it to "come back".
    reset the PRAM and the SMC, i'm hoping that resolves the issue, but i'd love to hear if anyone else is having the same issue and how they solved it.
    thanks!

    Also it happens without the MBOX 2 connected, which is USB audio interface by the way, and with just a Seagate external USB 3 Drive connected, which I use for backing up and has worked fine without these sleep issues up to 10.8.4.
    So it is like this...you put the computer to sleep, it goes to sleep, external drive spins off, after a few seconds external drive spins on again for no reason, display stays in sleep, but not rest of the system, as when you wake up a good indication to see whether it has woken up from deep sleep or just display sleep is that if you had wifi on and connected, when it wakes up now it is always connected to wifi, whereas when normally the imac wakes up from deep sleep the wifi connection(just the connection not the wifi interface) is off and is looking for it and connecting to it after you have woken it up. Something totally going wrong with the power management since 10.8.5, no doubt. Ι initially had installed 108.5 from the software update window, done the combo update on top now, and still no change in this behaviour. Strange that it let's me install the 10.8.5 combo, as before, if you had installed the update, it would not let you do it again...Not sure about what this is...
    I had different but still sleep issues with an imac late 2009 i7 27inch, after a certain update in Snow Leopard, where again I had done the update through the software update window, instead of downloading the combo one...back then it was that it wouldn't actually go to deep sleep, just display sleep.
    It is so frustrating that this happens. The biggest issue is that if you leave the computer supposedly at this sleep for a long time it does not wake up from the mouse or elsewhere...!!!!
    And another update, removing the Seagate MyBackup(USB 3) or whatever it is called, putting the computer to sleep, and waking up, it does actually behave as it should, it wakes up and the wifi is looking for the connection and connects after a few seconds, it is not connected as when you have a USB device connected(the MBOX 2 or the Seagate external USB 3 drive in my case) which it seems wakes up the computer from deep sleep(which means it is on and the wifi connects in the background)immediately after a few moments you put it to sleep(observation is that MBOX keeps on going on and off sleep as led's go off and on at regular intervals and the same seems to happen with the external drive....).
    The cure...in Snow Leopard with the sleep problems after an update, was to re-install leopard and do the combo update, meaning re-installing the whole system, which is quite a pain in the back side. I hope this is not the case in Mountain Lion otherwise we should be compensated for Apple ruining our system and organisation. The only cure I see for the minute and I am not sure if it will work is to revert to an earlier Time-Machine Backup which was made when the system was still in 10.8.4. And if this works, I will not do the 10.8.5 stnadalone or combo update until Apple start becoming serious with us, and not mess with our work and computers which they sold to us as the perfect machines...
    On another note my 27" i7 2012 imac had also these backlight uniformity problems, where part of the screen is slightly darker(on the right hand side, nothing major but noticeable as the same colour has a different hue in the brighetr area of the screen) so I am quite fed up with this drop in QC at Apple, not only in hardware but in software...I am currently waiting for a replacement, but this is nothing to do with this update.
    I seriously hope that they release 10.8.6 soon and that it will solve these issues which people who installed 10.8.5 already are experiencing. In fact even their suggestion, if it will be one, let's see, for people to consider going to an earlier backup where the system worked fine(what I am considering to do now), will be unreasonable and undermine their ability to create problem free updates and software which affect basic functions of the system such as sleep, and they will have no excuse, as it is not us who did something wrong to our system, it is their update which they fed to our systems through their software update, and let's say as the ordinary mac user thought it would be good to do...so there is an element of fooling people there as well...What if someone just bought their mac recently and did not have a backup but had already set up(customised) their system to a signinicant degree before the 10.8.5 update? I believe that we should be covered and compensated for such things, as I have lost time and money dealing with these issues in the past.
    Don't they properly test these updates, with all their fleet of different mac models, testing them with general peripherals connected to them, that people normally use, such as USB DEVICES, Audio Interfaces, External USB Drives? Come on they make billions for god's sake. We're spending 2 grand on a system that is touted as heaven on earth and it does many things brilliantly, but does fail on some, and what I really get is all these ridiculous issues every now and then which make me lose time and money, as I just want to have a system that sleeps and wakes properly!!!!!!! I AM NOT HAPPY, and it is Apple's Programmers which messed it up for me again...No bonuses this month please.

  • MacBook Air 11 2014 Wifi Issues After Sleep

    I know that people have reported their wifi taking a long time to establish a connection after sleep.  I thought I would test my brand new MacBook Air 11 2014 by closing the lid for several hours to see what happens.  When I opened the lid, the wifi signal was full and not greyed out like other people have reported.  However, my internet was dead.  Could not connect to websites or find my iTunes library on my other Mac.  In order to get it working again I have to switch the wifi off, then back on again.  I'm not 100% sure why I am reporting this as it seems to be a big issue with Mavericks.  Its just the majority have reported the wifi logo being greyed out and taking a long time to find its corresponding network.

  • QS 2002... SLEEP ISSUES NOT COME UP AFTER SLEEP PERIOD

    QS 2002... SLEEP ISSUES NOT BOOTING UP AFTER A SLEEP PERIOD
    Any ideas

    I was thinking you could offer a little bit more detail.
    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.
    Try resetting the PRAM. This should reset the NVRAM on most machines, which is the suggested fix. If that didn't help, do the following manually;
    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.
    If you have a storage device mounted via a PCI card that doesn't support sleep read this Apple doc. Thanks Texas MacMan!
    Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
     Good Luck! DALE

  • HP SimplePass Reader Does not Work after Sleep

    I have only had my laptop for a week - the fingerprint reader stopped working 2 days after I bought it. I have tried everything: removing and re-installing various drivers and software, stopping and starting Credentials Manager, unchecking the box that allows the computer to turn the reader off to save power, etc.
    I have gotten it to the point where it functions when the computer is logged in, but not after sleep. It works once if you restart the computer, but after waking it from sleep it does not initialize. (no light or anything) However, if you "lock" the desktop from the start menu, the reader will log it in again. (without closing the lid or putting it to sleep)
    Simple Pass version 6.0 (latest downloaded from HP.com)
    Envy Dv6 7229wm
    Windows 8 64-bit
    Thanks

    Hello hawvi,
    I see that you are having problems with the fingerprint reader not working after returning from sleep mode. I would like to help with this issue but I need some information.
    Can you provide the full model and product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find that information.
    What operating system are you using?
    How long have you had the problem?

  • Mac book pro 10.5.7 sleep issue..... not even sydney genius bar can help me

    ok hey guys, this is my first ever post on a support forum so please help me out!
    I'll give any specific hardware info if needed later on but this is the basics:
    i have had my mbp for over a year and 6months into it my mbp started going into sleep mode for no reason ...and no im not simple the energy settings are set to never sleep so its not that. Since then i have tried and tested everything under the sun to resolve the issue i have been to the genius bar and booked it in several times, each time they tell me they can not find any problem. I have had the logic board replaced - i have tried removing the p.list files, resetting pram thingy the battery test thing....everything...i have looked on endless forums for a resolution but nothing works!, it will go to sleep at random times generally when im doing alot of things on it it can run fine for days maybe sometime weeks but then its starts playing up again. When it does sleep the screen goes blank and the power light pulses but worst it cuts the internet connection which is terrible coz i have a time capsule and it cuts that link as well and messes that up entirely! sometimes it will just keep cutting out every 20-40 seconds untill i wake it by tapping the space bar or moving my mouse sometimes it just shuts down completely - i have done a compete erase & reinstall but ill b honest i still reinstalled some programs from my backups that cant be downloaded anymore (isquint etc) coz the genius guys said maybe a program is corrupting the hardware but if anyone has any ANY ideas or has the same problem please! tell me - im sure i could add more info n stuff but if u want 2 ask me specifics then i will answer anything to help
    thanx again guys.
    i should say at this point the only relief im getting to stop it from sleeping is if i disconnect the power adapter and use the battery that seems to stop it, but it has crashed(slept) on battery power as well but as of today doing this seems to help ....hasn't crashed since writting this! LOL

    Has anyone got any assumptions on suspect software that may cause my problem??
    I see that louie has a possible response for you. I had forgotten about that problem.
    lastfm, transmission or handbrake. Can anyone confim issues after installing these apps?
    if not these softwares then im convinced im dealing with a power issue.
    I would be doubtful (although not completely dismissive) of anything like these being the source of your problem.
    the genius bar has said it may b an enviromental issue. this also may be the case, tho not so much recently. They said perhaps magnectic fields may cause it 2 go 2 sleep and its true moving my MBP around does seem to settle it for instance if i move it out of my room im yet to see any of my sleep issues occur
    The movement sensor might be involved, as also louie's excellent suggestion of the temp sensor. It is difficult to know how to test these effectively and might need more tools than the GB can muster.
    But i dont live in a electricity tower and i did move my MBP to the other side of my room where it worked for a good month - and then started again with the sparatic sleeping.
    It is hard to disprove a negative. The only way to bring some sort of evidence to the table if there were some such interference would be to use the computer for an extended period away from where you are using it now. If it works without problem in (say) Starbucks or some other neutral area, and then fails within a few minutes of returning to your home, then there is something stronger to work with. Then you can start to track down some external source, I would guess.
    So i will try a safe start as graham had suggetsed as this seems as a simple enough fix - but i do run a time capsule, ext 1TB HD, Wireless mouse etc ..which i presume will not work in safe mode .... and is the idea to just keep safe mode on untill it does crash again or will just starting up on safe mode then restarting solve the issue?
    Time Machine ought to work in Safe Mode; and I would not suggest working that way for a lengthy period of time: just to start it up perhaps to clear something that is interfering. But what you write here is of interest: (A) The HD -- what is it (brand, etc, and how formatted) and how connected; plus the wireless mouse? What brand is that (and I presume you mean Bluetooth)?
    As for A weak diode..I dunno what that is or how 2 check it
    Right. I couldn't either, and most shops won't: they would just replace the board. There is a shop here . . . but that is too far for you.
    i think the battery is ok ..as i said it performs better at this point when i disconnect the power...but not always... i had a terrible day yesterday when it would keep going to sleep everytime i reconnected the power, if i try 2 persist it will keep going back 2 sleep ever 30 seconds untill i eaither just leave it be for a while or untill it just turns off completely!
    That suggests, as I mentioned earlier, something awry with the battery/power combination; especially if the performance is not consistent. A battery should deteriorate gradually, not come and go.
    If it does turn off when i turn it back on it wont even get to the grey apple logo it just keeps turning off after 2-5 seconds (turning off not sleeping)
    so im at a loss why that is!
    No power. You have to wait a while until the power level is brought up to a workable level.
    The power cord seems fine all the pins spring out - the middle spring is smaller than the others tho.
    Mine too. That seems OK.
    Do post those logs. Someone might see the answer.

  • Battery and Sleep issues. Is this "normal"?

    Hey guys, ever since day 1 My new MBP has been experiencing the sleep issue where in sleep the battery would lose about 1-2%/hour. I would go to sleep with the battery at 100%, and wake up to only about 87%. Also, when it was new the battery had about 4650 for full charge capacity, now its showing only 4540 after 10 cycles!!! Is this normal? Please help my MBP is less than 2 weeks old I have owned the previous MBP model, and the battery life during sleep was considerably better than this, and also it took less time to charge the battery!
    Charge Information:
    Charge remaining (mAh): 3463
    Fully charged: No
    Charging: Yes
    Full charge capacity (mAh): 4540
    Health Information:
    Cycle count: 10
    Condition: Good
    Battery Installed: Yes
    Amperage (mA): 881
    Voltage (mV): 12070
    *I have also just updated the upgrade to 10.5.6. Will update and report if this will help with the sleep/battery issue.
    Thanks for your help!

  • X1 Carbon Touch Screen stops responding after sleep

    Hi, 
    My X1 Screen does not come back after sleep for several minutes. I've encountered this problem the very fist day I've received it, a reboot solved the problem but after few days it happened again, this time it took 2-3 hours for it to come back after several reboots. After a week it was gone for good, Service replaced the motherboard and just received my X1 back yesterday. Today it happened again. A reboot solved the problem but symptoms are same. Comp goes to sleep, when I try wake it up, X1 works but diplay is totaly gone. I can hear the sounds, see the fingerprint sensor etc is alive but can not wake up the display.. 
    Model is 208A and Win 8.1
    Any ideas ? 
    Thanks

    Hey...got your back on this one! I returned a T440s because of this.....tech support had no idea...same problem for the replacement they sent to me, and again they it's a motherboard issue. Nope....trial and error...found the solution. Download and upgrade your fingerprint pro software and it's fixed. Here is the link. Please post if it worked for you too!

  • HT4279 ATI Radeon HD 5870 screen resets size after after sleeping. Why?

    Purchased an ATI Radeon HD 5870. When connected to 1920x1080 it leaves a third of the screen out. However after starting up it fits the screen. Only after sleeping does it reset to this faulty screen size. I have attempted every Mini dv adapter vga,dvi and hdmi. All lead to the same issue or another.
    Is this card defective? Is this an issue with the Lion OS?

    Ok let me go into more detail for you.
    Macpro had 2 Geforce gt 120 video cards. I recently had some blocking issues ( where the screen just over lays a bounch of boxes with random parts of the background and or aps running). Decided to upgrade to the Radeon 5870. Before the upgrade i have been using a Samsung LCD tv and and old Dell monitor. Worked great. Tv res was set to 1920x1080. Instailed the new card. Hooked up the Dell to the DVI output and Tv to a Mini DV at first using the Mini DV to DVI. Ended up with the half the screen issue. Took the back and got the Mini DV to HDMI. I didnt have the size issue but when set to 1080 it was not hidef. Took that back and got the Mini DV to VGA. Now here is where I currently am stuck. When both the TV (Mini to VGA) and the Dell (VGA to DVI) are connected to the 5870 and the harddrive and monitors go to sleep it resets and i lose an 8th of the screen. I currently am just using the TV and everything seems to be fine. Also on the amount i lose there is a dotted line that some times flickers. Not sure if that means anything.

  • Safari 2.0.4 problems after sleep

    I've searched a bit for problems with Safari 2.0.4 after sleep and can't find much that relates to my specific problems so I'll ask for your help. On my Powerbook G4 15" when Safari is running and it goes into sleep mode I get the following problems:
    1. After heavy sleep, when I awaken the computer Safari says that the application has quit.
    2. After a short time away from the computer Safari is unresponsive with a spinning beachball and a lot of disk activity. After 3-5 minutes it seems to return to normal.
    Is this a known or common problem? Are there any fixes? The issue has been going on for many months, but I thought I might see if there's a cure. Resetting Safari and clearing cache don't appear to help out.
    Thanks for your help.

    No, everything else appears to work fine. When there is this beachball activity there's a lot of hard disk activity taking place. I have 1.5GB of RAM, but this happens when I have 2 applications open or 5. It just appears that when I leave the computer unattended for 5 minutes or so some sort off background activity is taking place.

  • After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement

    After sleep, retina MacBook Pro (Mid 2014, on 10.9.4) does not recognize usb connected mouse movement. I have tried a generic usb mouse and my Razer Deathadder usb mouse. Both mice work before sleep; but after sleep, the computer no longer recognizes mouse movement while still recognizing the mouse buttons when pressed. Any idea why this is occurring?

  • Users on network home directories hang after sleep

    Hi,
    I have the following problem: I have a 10.5 server with network home directories. I can login from Snow Leopard (10.6.1) however whenever the machine goes to sleep and comes back from sleep, the user hangs then if you wait a bit then it will come with the message that the share has been disconnected and it asks you to manually unmount. It will stay there forever. When you click disconnect, the system will unmount and remount the home directory but in the mean time, Mail will have reported disk i/o errors in the logs and throw errors (ranging from type in your password to 'rebuild index').
    Going through the log files (and verbosity high) it seems that when going to sleep, the system doesn't unmount the network home directory. After it wakes up from sleep it attempts to unmount the home directory share which off course fails because it's in use and then it locks up, after you click disconnect, it says "spins reported" in the logs and goes on with remounting the shares.
    The issue doesn't happen if the user is local. If anybody has an idea as to how this works or if they have it working, please let me know. I have tried just about anything. AFP shares, NFS shares, I have tried with or without the intr, nolocks, locallocks mount options - they all have the same issue. I have even tried another Mac Mini with a fresh install of Snow Leopard.

    I found a possible cause and solution.
    This has been on 10.6.1 with Mac Mini's. Then we got a new Mac Pro with 10.6 out of the (Apple) factory which I updated to 10.6.1, same issue. What I didn't think about is that by default I install a heap of software (including XCode, Adobe CS4 and Office 2008) with customized packages and workgroup manager preferences.
    So I was mucking around with Cocktail (the tool to clean up caches etc.) and I noticed Snow Leopard hung every time after cleaning & recreating some caches. Now that I had a reliable way to hang Snow Leopard I investigated what could cause it.
    I noticed during a PackageMaker session that Adobe CS4 installs a Version Cue startup script in /etc/machinit_peruser.d. I deleted it, rebooted, used Cocktail again and it went all the way through without hanging. Rebooted again, according to the logs it pre-linked & cached the kernel and several kernel extensions and that was it, no more hangs, no more issues logging in after sleep or screensaver.
    So possible causes:
    - VersionCue installs itself as a kernel module or something (the location says "mach" which is the kernel after all) which is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
    - The caches and kernel extensions were 'dirty' out of the box but VersionCue (or something else that interacts with it) blocked my or Snow Leopard's automated attempts to clean them.
    - VersionCue reinitializes (it sits on the network after all) after a sleep or screen saver timeout in a way that gives issues with Snow Leopard

  • Recovered files in trash after sleeping

    Upgraded to Tiger 10.4.11 from Panther about 4 weeks ago using Erase & Install, then restoring apps, files, etc. with Migration Assistant from a clone. Flawless & painless--whew! However, I'm now having one minor but annoying issue--after playing Burning Monkey Solitaire, quitting, logging out & putting Mac to sleep, find recovered files in trash on next log in, specifically a couple of BMS text files. The Freeverse support folks are still working with me on this issue (suggesting doing a Secure Empty Trash, which didn't prevent the files from returning). I'm posting here, however, because today there was also an iPhoto folder (empty) in the Recovered files folder in the Trash. Any ideas on why this may be happening and how to stop it? I've used iPhoto since the OS upgrade without this occurring and, so far at least, no other apps (Word, Excel, other games, etc.) have been leaving orphan files on quit/sleep/logout that wind up recovered in the trash.
    As I said, it's a minor annoyance, but hope it's not a symptom of something more serious. Thanks!

    Thanks, but that's not quite what's happening here . . . first, neither Burning Monkey nor iPhoto unexpectedly quit--always were quit normally. Second, recovered files folder shows up after sleeping, not just after restarting.
