Since Snow Leopard, Mac Pro will not sleep with Apple wireless keyboard

I have an odd problem, now on 2 Mac Pro (Nehalem) with 10.6.1:
Since Snow Leopard, the system will not sleep as long as a) the user is logged on (any users/profile) and b) the Apple aluminum wireless keyboard is 'attached'.
If I log off first, sleep works fine. If I turn the keyboard off first, it's fine. But if hitting 'sleep' when logged on, the screen turns dark, sleep process begins, but the system comes right back (with a note 'keyboard disconnected'.
It's as if the keyboard disconnects after sleep, but the system still monitors it, and wakes up.
Note: Wake for bluetooth devices IS NOT ENABLED!
Here is the console log (relevant info):
10/18/09 4:57:33 PM kernel System Sleep
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC1
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel System Wake
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
10/18/09 4:57:48 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x1d has remote wakeup from some device
10/18/09 4:58:53 PM kernel System Sleep
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel Wake reason = UHC6
10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel System Wake

10/18/09 4:58:55 PM kernel USB (UHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x5a has remote wakeup from some device
Does anyone have any idea? While on, the keyboard never disconnects - i.e. I don't have any other issues with BT or the keyboard (this is the 2nd I tried).
Also, my apologies for double-posting this earlier in a different forum; cheers!
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
and thanks for posting that.
That's too bad. I am probably going to log off if needed, rather than going wired, but I can't believe that this might be more prevalent than just me and there is no 'fix'...
Anyone ?!
Thanks as always,
Dan

  • Mac Pro does not sleep with lid open

    Hi this was the original post I posted a couple days ago.
    "Hi All,
    I have had a problem with my mac book pro, it does not sleep while the screen is left open. The way I used to be able to tell if the mac is sleeping is the light on the front should flash as it does when the screen is closed. Here is what has happened in the past.
    1. The original hard drive failed and was replaced with a 500gb
    2. I have had the top case replaced as the mac book pro would not sleep with the screen closed
    3. A clean install with OSX 10.6.8
    After doing all this, the mac is still having the same issue.
    When the screen is left open, I can hear the fans whirring away and the battery is drained as if I am running an intensive program. I can leave it all night with the screen up and wake up to the battery being completely dead. It usually takes about 3 hours or so. (105 cycles on the battery). The settings are set so that the screen and mac hibernate after 1 minute, and all applications are closed with wi-fi, etc turned off.
    When my fathers and my brothers mac book pro is left open, the light on the front of the case flashes.
    I have been to the apple store repeatedly and they are adament there is no issue with the mac. They did all their "tests" and the hardware was tested as "good".
    Thanks for any help!
    Chris"
    The problem was solved with the following:
    1. Deleting Login Items
    2. Turning off blu-tooth
    3. Unchecking "wake for network access"
    Sources given:

    However, the same problem came back last night.
    Any ideas what is causing this?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    I forgot to mention that I followed the same instructions that did solve the problem.
    The things I tried were:
    1. turning off wi-fi
    2. closing all apps
    Doing this however did not solve my problem either.

  • MacBook Pro will not sleep with lid open, but now solved, very odd.

    I bought a 2.4 GHz MBP about a week ago, as soon as I got it home I reinstalled the OS and zero-out the drive. Everything appears to work perfect until I noticed that the MBP will not sleep with the lid open.
    But...
    Close the lid, it sleeps.
    Select sleep from menu, it sleeps.
    Let the battery drain down with lid open, laptop sleeps.
    Whent thru painful troubleshooting process, reseting things, permissions, what is installed, running programs...blah blah blah, nothing no difference.
    So, backup the drive using superduper to external firewire and reinstall all over again, just like i did when i first got home, except I did not let it connect to the internet. I went thru and setup everything then connected and performed each update, one at a time looking for what might hinder the sleep process.
    And the result is a big fat zero.
    Same install process as i did the first time, and same updates as the first time. But now the laptop sleeps perfectly.
    Gotta love computers, so very consistant
    Just my .02 input on this wacky issue.

    Try trashing these 3 .plist preferences and reboot. Reset your Energy Saver preferences.
    HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration > com.apple.AutoWake.plist & com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    User > Library > Preferences > com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    Also, look at your system logs in your Console application and see what is causing the "wake event." It could be hardware-related. Do you have any external devices attached, such as a mouse or hub? I've seen Bluetooth problems with wireless BT mice.

  • Mac Pro will not sleep

    As requested, this is a new post from the "my mac will not wake up" thread.
    I am having trouble putting my Mac to sleep. When I try to enter sleep mode, the fans make noise like it wants to restart, then the monitors go out and immediately back on. It wont stay in sleep mode.
    Ned Snowing seemed to have a pretty good idea of what the problem might be. Ned, can you please follow up from the other post? I think we might be on to something.
    Also, I have a seagate 300gb HD installed in bay two, if that factor is relevant.

  • Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

    Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
    I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
    This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
    When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
    (I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
    and the display has no signal.
    During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
    Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
    In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
    but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
    In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
    In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
    In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
    As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
    You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
    This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
    and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
    http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
    Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
    Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
    and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
    Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
    Do you really think it's the new Drive?
    Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
    Any kind of help is welcome and
    I thank you in advance if you can help me.

    Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
    Thanks again

  • 2008 mac pro will not boot with HD 5770 installed.

    Does anyone have suggestions for this.  When I say it will not boot, I mean it will not respond at all to the power button if the card is installed (or at least if the power cord for the card is plugged into the motherboard.  This is a mac pro version 3,1 with 8 cores 2.8 xeon, 22GB ram, running 10.6.8.  Boots fine with xt2600 but will not boot if the 5770 power cord is plugged in. THis is an apple specific card from B and H.  Perhaps I received a bad card.  I have tried with and without the xt2600 installed and have tried in slots 1 and 2.  I do not have any other PCI cards installed.  Iknow this is not an "officially supported card" but it seems to work for everyone else.

    Sounds like the ATI 5770 issue to me.
    And 5770 worked on 1000s and 1000s of Mac Pro all models, like mine a 1,1 (there is even a thread of 160+ posts)
    Where did you buy the cable and card, if from Apple and it is recent, exchange.
    You are saying you never got to work...

  • ICloud does not synchronize Notes.app with Apple Wireless Keyboard in use

    I own an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an iPhone 4 with the newest software, iOS5.1
    When using the build-in Notes application by Apple and the original Apple Wireless Keyboard, synchronizing fails. I guess this is because Notes.app never triggers the "synchronize event", like it does when using the on-screen-keyboard. The trigger "done" is just missing. This error might also happen in other (build-in) apps, I've just seen it with the Notes.app
    Could you please tell me if you already know this issue and are working on it? I told Apple Support about it for iOS version 5.0 and nothing changed since then. Please advise.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Key fn + Backspace does not work with apple wireless keyboard

    Hello,
    I want to user the WIndows Key DEL. However, the apple wireless keyboard dosn't have such a key. I read, that FN + Backspace will solve this. It does not work on my apple wireless keyboard. I'm using BootCamp 3.2 and WIndows XP, running on a Mac Mini 2010.
    In addition, I also read, that FN + Cursor Left sould work like POS1. But this doesn't work, too.
    Windows shows for the keyboard: Deutsch (Apple)

  • Mac Pro will not boot with Snow Leopard - need help!

    I have had a lot of issues with Snow Leopard since I upgraded from 10.5.8. Most of my problems started after installing Office 2007. I finally wiped the hard drive and reinstalled everything. No problems until last week. Start up was taking longer and had to reboot a couple of times because of grey screen. So I would just put computer to sleep. Yesterday the computer was frozen on screen saver with scrambled rows of pixels on screen two and the main monitor had a frozen image.
    I initially pulled all peripherals out and pulled the power plug for 5 minutes. I have left the peripherals out and pulled the second monitor as well. I tried pulling the power plug during a few more starts but nothing gets me to a complete start up screen.
    I have tried resetting PRAM and VRAM and tried a safe boot. I tried booting from Snow Leopard and my Leopard disk stayed on either a blue or gray screen with spinning beach ball (on gray screen).
    Put original install disk in and booted from using D to check the hardware. Good news is that the hardware test was OK. I did the extended test.
    All different kind of start up problems.
    - Some start with start up sound goes to Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with beachball
    - Some start ups with no initial sound then Apple logo to blue screen to grey screen with no cursor or beachball
    - Some start ups with no sound to gray screen to blue screen to grey screen.
    I have no problem wiping the HD1 again but I can't even get the OS disk to be recognized with holding the C key during start up. This last time it went to a blue screen (holding the C key) and a cursor.
    I don't know what else to do - Please help!!!

    There are lists (MacIntouch and MacFixit) of hardware / software support issues with 10.6. Accelerateyourmac is another place to watch.
    There were some really long threads back in Sept about printer driver support.
    The 7300 firmware was more about Windows support; those cards are failing and dropping like flies (how DO they know 3 yrs has expired anyway?) and they don't support SL features like OpenCL etc so I'd invest in ATI 4870, best graphic card and works in all models Mac Pro.
    Lots and lots of bootable clones for backup. Never need to wipe and install again.

  • Mac Pro will not sleep in Lion

    I know, there are plenty of threads dealing with sleep issues, but they get confused with all sorts of different situations, so I'd like to present my very specific problem with the hope that someone will have a bright idea about what I might try to solve it.
    As the title states I am running a Mac Pro and Lion.  I've been running from my Snow Leopard partition for several months because I couldn't solve this problem, but today I decided to have another go at it. Under Snow Leopard, there is no problem with sleep.  Under Lion,the computer will sleep via power button, menu, or keyboard shortcut, but absolutely refuses to sleep via energy saver settings. I have:
    1. Reset PRAM.
    2. Rest SMU.
    3. Fixed prefs.
    4. Cleared all print queues.
    5. Turned off all sharing.
    6. Trashed SystemConfiguration folder.
    7. Checked Console logs from any strange activities (nothing)
    8. Ran pmset -g (nothing shows preventing sleep)
    I tried PleaseSleep, but I don't like it as a solution because there are too many programs that I would need to exclude (EyeTV, Audio Hijack, HandBrake, etc.), so the machine would remain awake a lot of the time anyway. Is there anything I've missed here?

    Try reinstalling.
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

  • 2009 Mac Pro will not sleep from set prefs

    Hi all:
    I've got a 1 YO Quad, 2.93 Nehelam that wont sleep on set schedule. It has been doing this sense last week. I get the P-RAM, unplugged everything (even power), re-plugged everything, repaired my drive with disc utility, erased start up items, everything.
    It WILL sleep on Q but not on a schedule in energy saver prefs. The only thing thats different lately is that Installed CS5 Master suite and Apple's latest audio update (which fixed my audio by the way...)
    Any idea's.
    Thanks---Seattle

    Is this question in the correct discussion? I thought this was the discussion for Mac Pro (previous to 2009). This could be a problem that appeared in the 2009 Mac Pro line ... or it could be related to the OS you are running.

  • 2010 mac pro will not sleep

    2010 Mac Pro 10.6.8 recently will not go to sleep. Will awaken without reason when it is put to sleep with menue command. Tried resetting system management controller and PRAM to no avail. Any suggestions?

    Look at the kernel log for  a line that says "Wake reason".  You will see a code to the right indicating the wake reason.  Look here for the meaning of the codes.  Perphas that will give you a clue as to why you machine is waking up.

  • Auto-capitalization not working with apple wireless keyboard?

    My ipad settings have auto-cap on. When using the on-screen keyboard the auto-cap works. When I switch to the wireless apple keyboard auto capitalization fails to work.
    Any suggestions?
    Does anyone have the wireless apple keyboard working with auto cap on iPad?

    Did you ever find a solution to your problem?  I have the same issue but mine also includes the period shortcut.
    If I am hooked up to my keyboard the auto stuff doesn't work even if I manually tap the screen to type. 
    The fact that this does not work is the issue - not laziness in relying on shortcuts.  This needs to be fixed.
