Sleep mode disconnects my ipod why?

When ever I put my computer to sleep it disconnects my ipod and I was curious why this happens? I also got an external hard drive that is plugged into the same USB hub and does not disconnect when awoken any ideas why it does this?
Thank you

Deep sleep causes problems for USB devices. Trying to connect and download photos from a digital camera will lock up the system. Sometimes a card reader will cause a system to not go to sleep. So yes, general wisdom is to disconnect USB devices before putting a system to sleep.
You also should not try to connect or disconnect FW or USB drives and devices while a system is in sleep state.

My sleep mode not working right why?

My Mac Pro comes back on during the night when it's in sleep mode.Why?

It could be Bluetooth. Do you have Bluetooth wireless mouse and keyboard?
I had this problem until recently. It seems to have gone away since updating OS X to 10.8.5.
Open Console next time this happens to you. Scroll to the point at which the machine went to sleep and then awakened.
If you see something like what I've pasted below, then you're bluetooth devices are waking the machine.

Hi, Lately many times my MBP15 shuts down a few second after waking up from sleep mode. Any ideas why? I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away...

I think it happens everytime I try to open safari right away, but I'm not sure. After shutting down it automatically restarts and gives me a message Ÿour computer had to shut down because of a problem, press any key to restart..." and when it comes on again it gives me an option to send an error report to apple.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yeah your Mac is having a Kernel Panic and the option to Restart the system when that happens is checked. So the system Restarts Automatically. Uncheck that option. For some unknown reason it is located in the Energy Saver applet in System Preferences.
As to the ROOT cause it could be software or hardware problems. There should be a Kernel Panic report in the console logs.
But if you do a search of these forum you'll find many that are having these restarts waking from sleep. So it would seem to be a hardware problem.

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)

Airport stays on, but cannot see networks after sleep mode

i have had this issue for only one week (after 3 perfect years of wireless internet). the problem... the subject section says it all. so far, the only way i get to have internet again is to restart my ibook. works perfect until the next post-sleep mode.
does anybody know why this is happening?
ibookG3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
ibookG3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
ibookG3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
ibookG3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I found the solution for my G3 in other threads. Hope it works for you:
1. From the Finder window
2. Go to folders: /System/Library/Extensions/
4. Scroll down until you can see:
"AppleAirport2.kext"
"AppleAirport.kext"
5. Move "AppleAirport2.kext" file to the trash by clicking on it and then hitting command and back-space (you will then have to enter your system password)
NB: This leaves you with "AppleAirport.kext" - the more recent file in the Extensions folder)
6. Restart
7. Fixed!

IPod 5g - Charge in sleep mode?

Will my iPod charge while my iMac is in sleep mode? I never learned to read so the owner's manual won't help me. Thanks!

Well, don't know much about iMacs, but theoretically, it should charge even though in sleep mode, just so the computer is on. There is always power coming from the port as long as it is on, even in sleep mode.
Why don't you just hook it up and see for yourself, lol.

Video IPOD Sleep Mode

I can't get my IPOD into sleep mode. I just started having this problem about 5 minutes ago. It plays just fine and all other functions are working 100% perfect; however, I always put it into sleep mode once I'm done listening to it and then slide the hold switch and for ome reason, when I press the >II button on the bottom, it's not doing anything. The music just keeps playing. Any suggestions?

Hi Lumax1150,
Have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (leave it on the white side of the switch, which is the Off position).
Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
You might need to try this several times. For more effect, try connecting your iPod to a power source while you reset it.
You can try this technique as well, which can help with iPods that are unresponsive or won't successfully turn off:
1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
2 - Now begin to rapidly toggle the "Hold" switch back and forth while your iPod is connected.
3 - After you've done that for a little while (for perhaps 15-20 seconds), eject the iPod if needed, then disconnect it from your computer.
Also, if that doesn't really help with your case, you might need to let your iPod's battery fully drian down.
Then, when your iPod has finally reached the "Low Battery" screen, connect it to a power source for about 4 hours and let it recharge.
Finally, you can also try restoring your iPod to factory settings. This deletes all of the contents off of your iPod, but may solve this kind of issue.

Why doesn't my built in display re-initialize after resuming from sleep mode?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM) which I purchased a few years ago. I always have a secondary display monitor plugged in.
When I bought this system, it came with Snow Leopard and I recently upgraded to Lion. That's when this issue began:
If I physically fold the screen down and put the MacBook to sleep mode that way, often times when I resume my secondary display will return but my primary built in display will not - it just remains black. In some cases this creates a serious problem because my menu bar / dock are still on the main display and so I have no dock.
I notice the problem has not occurred if I put the unit to sleep using the Sleep command... but sometimes I forget.
I am wondering if anyone else is having this type of issue, and if there is a way to solve the issue? Is it possible this is a bug?
Thanks,
Steve

It is definitely not a Leopard bug because it has been happening on every portable Mac I've ever had.
I don't agree. I had no problems at all with my MacBook Pro running Tiger. I initially did an upgrade from Tiger to Leopard and when the problems started I assumed it was a problem with the upgrade. I then completely erased and did a clean install of Leopard. The problem has actually gotten worse since I did the clean re-install.

Just close the screen, wait for it to go back to sleep, then open it again. It will probably be fine.
As I mentioned in my opening post, I've gone through that song and dance more times than I can count. I've closed it, waited for as much as an hour, opened it back up...same problem. I've hard powered it down, closed it, disconnected the AC adapter, removed the battery, opened it, held down the power button for 15 seconds, re-installed the battery, reconnected the AC adapter, pushed the power button, and the display will still be dark. It's sometimes taken as many as 5 or 6 iterations of that process before it will finally reset whatever problem it was having and boot normally with a functioning display.

IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

Hello,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1.
Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1?
If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
2) I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync. I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch. The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch. But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro. But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID. I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF. How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out. I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

- Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
- Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
- I have no idea for the Safari question

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

My IPOD classic 6 will no longer stay in sleep mode. It's less than 2 years old

My IPOD classic 6th generation will no longer stay in sleep mode and it is less then 2 years old. It is running the battery down because of this. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? I have use the hold button when I put it in sleep mode. I have already restored my IPOD and that only worked temporarily. I've charged my battery fully and synced my IPOD and reset to the original settings my IPOD, but none of them worked.

Reset your iPod.
Turn the Hold switch on, then off again and then press-and-hold the Menu and Select (centre) buttons at the same time for at least ten seconds. During this time, you should see the Apple logo appear on the iPod. After a while (it could take up to four minutes) the iPod should display the Main Menu screen and it will be ready to go.
Then see if the iPod sleeps correctly. If it doesn't, you may need to Restore the iPod. To do that, connect it to your iTunes Library and by looking at the iPod through iTunes, you will see the Restore button.
Be aware that a Restore will remove all the content from your iPod and (if you if you use Sync to manage your iPod) put back only what is in your Library. If you use Manually Manage, then you will have to manually add back everything that you want to be on the iPod.
If neither of these steps cures the issue, that may suggest a hardware problem.

HT1853 My laptop lost connection with itunes while my ipod was in do not disconnect mode. My ipod will not respond now and still shows do not disconnect?

My ipod was connected to my laptop and in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. My computer rebooted after security scan and now my iPod is stuck in the 'Do not Disconnect' mode. The iPod will not turn off, nor will my itunes recognize it is connect.

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
