Sleep Mode Not Activating?

Hi everybody, I was perplexed to find that when sleep mode was activated nothing happened except for the monitor going blank. When I manually choose sleep mode I see the little white light pulsate and when I wake it up I hear the CD drive spin up. However, when I use the automatic go to sleep after 3 minutes of idle time or whatever... the light doesn't pulsate and it doesn't seem to be in sleep mode. Is their something that I am not seeing, or is their something interfering with sleep mode I am not sure! I am pretty good with apples, and the fact that I cannot figure out such a basic topic is frustrating. Anyway, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

However, when I use the automatic go to sleep after 3 minutes of idle time or whatever... the light doesn't pulsate and it doesn't seem to be in sleep mode.
Try setting the time higher and see if that helps, say 10-15 min.

Windows 10 sleep mode not working

windows 10 sleep mode not working

I hope this helps. But... I had the same problem last week. Now I don't as of 8/17/15. I am not sure if a windows 10 update fixed this. I do not like problems that without any assistance fix themselves. However, try sleep mode again. This problem may have been fixed.

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.

Sleep Mode not functioning correctly after Mac OSX 10.6.5 update

Hi
I have a Macbook Model Identifier 5,1. (1st gen Alum Macbook). I notice that after I updated to 10.6.5, I have a problem going to sleep mode. When I click on sleep, it will blacken the screen but the LED screen still glows. Usually, it glows for a few second and then the LED powers down so it will be completely dark. Now it just hangs there. I have to use the power down fucntion by pressing it for 4 seconds.
I tried disk utility repair permissions. ANy suggestions?
Antonio

Hi
I have similar problem with MacBook White Identifier 6.1. I have update 10.6.5 and I have a lot of problems with my MacBook. This problem is one of them. My MacBook also often show message Kernel Panic and I can use only power button. It is not good when arrange photos or do other things.
Update 10.6.4 was very good. I didn't have any problem. If I have version 10.6.5, can I return to version 10.6.4?
I don't know, what I can do. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Stand-by / sleep mode not working when USB is connected

Hello!
When the USB cable from my 24" LED Cinema Display is connected to my new Mac Pro 2,66 GHz Quad-Core, the stand-by / sleep mode does not work correctly: the Mac Pro goes to sleep normally, then the LED behind the on-/off-button flashes one time and then the Mac Pro awakes from sleep mode without any user interaction.
I already tried to reset PRAM, I tested all three rear-side USB connectors (I did not test the front-side USB connectors because the display's cable is way too short), I unplugged all other USB and Firewire devices and also tried sleep mode from a freshly created account. Alas, nothing helps.
As soon as the display's USB connector is plugged in, sleep mode does not work any more. It even doesn't matter if there are USB devices plugged into the display. Without connecting the display's USB plug, sleep mode works fine.
So, any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance & best regards!
Mario.

I fixed the problem, so I just post this to help others that might run into the same trouble.
The Mac Pro and the display were connected to a master/slave power socket. The problem is: when the Mac Pro goes to sleep, there still seems to be some power left in the display (which socket is switched off by the master/slave power socket). Therefore, the display goes off slightly after the Mac Pro. This powering off seems to release a signal on the display's USB wire that is connected to the Mac Pro and therefore switches the Mac Pro on again.
So, this is the same effect as removing a USB device from the Mac during sleep mode, what (at least in most cases) also starts up the Mac again.
As a result, there seems to be no other solution to this problem than removing the display from the master/slave power socket. Sadly enough, the LED Cinema Display consumes other 2 watts in stand-by mode...
Cheers!
Mario.

After upgrade to 10.8.3 Sleep mode not functioning

iMac
OSX 10.8.3
Sleep mode does not function properly.

In what way is it not functioning properly? If you go to System Preferences > Energy Saver are the sleep mode times where you want them? When you logout, do you then click Sleep or do you let the iMac go to sleep according to the settings? Do you have trouble coming out of sleep mode?

When in sleep mode, not calls or SMS received.

Hello,
When my iPhone goes into sleep mode either automatically or manually it does not receive any SMS or incoming calls. Sometimes it takes up to 10 hours for it to show the SMS or missed call. I have to leave the iPhone on constantly and turn the brightness all the way down. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

I have missed a few calls and alarms because my iPhone, though set to ring and not in silent mode, inadvertently had the ringer volume is turned all the way down to zero. It's a bit surprising to me that when you (accidently) set the ringer volume to zero, it doesn't show that it's in silent mode, but I guess that's because the little switch isn't toggled.
To avoid missing calls, I've set the iPhone to vibrate even in ring mode.
But if that's not your problem, first shut the phone down, reboot, and test by calling from another phone. If that doesn't work, I'd do a reset. First sync (which backs up everything) and then reset, and everything is restored to just the way it was. You might have to sync a second time to get photos over. I have fixed a few problems with resets.

Sleep mode not working properly in windows

I have a P67A-GD65 working fine (THANK GOODNESS!) but I have a small annoyance.. It wont wake up from sleep mode unless the power button is pressed! How can I change this to wake up on say, when I click a button on my mouse or my keyboard or even move the mouse? I have the latest bios installed. Thanks!

Depends if you have USB or PS/2 KB/mouse
Resume From S3 by USB Device
The item allows the activity of the USB device to wake up the system from S3 (Suspend
to RAM) sleep state.
Resume From S3/S4/S5 by PS/2 Mouse/ Keyboard
These items determine whether the system will be awakened from what power saving
modes when input signal of the PS/2 mouse/ keyboard is detected.

Macbook pro HD replace while in sleep mode(not off)

Hi All
I would just like to find out..I had my hard disk replaced by an apple authorised repair tech..took the hd to them and asked them to just fit it for me I`ll do the data side by reinstalling OSX..They did the whole opporation for me but whne I got home I saw that my computer was in sleep mode and all the apps are still open? The new HD had nothing on it so I suppose it just ran off the memory.(I was quite furious since they did not shut down my computer before swapping out the HD) My MBP is only a week old and I am quite holy about my baby!
So my question is would this action that they performed in sleep mode have casued damage to my MBP? What can I check to make sure that it did not cause damage?
I ran an extended Apple hardware test and it came back with no issues..but I think my mac is a little slower than it was before so how can I be sure?

Are you telling us that when you got home with your computer and its new internal hard drive, *with nothing installed on the drive yet,* you woke the machine up and found applications open and running? I don't think that's possible. You have somehow misunderstood what was done or what you saw.
Go back to the shop and ask for an explanation of exactly what was done, preferably direct from the employee who did the work. After hearing him or her out respectfully, describe what you saw or thought you saw on your return home, and ask for an explanation of that.
I don't think you have any cause to be mad — at least not until the work and its results have been explained to you. But you are entitled to ask questions, calmly and politely, about exactly what you paid for.

Sleep Mode Not Available

After Windows 10 clean installation my notebook dosn't sleep when I close lid & dowsn't wake when I open.Even there is no sleep option in startmenu>power.And the screen doesn't turn off after selected inactivity time period,instead it just turns black.How can I get back sleep mode?

I had a similar problem after upgrading my Pavillion m6 Notebook. Windows 10 installed smoothly and it looked and work really great until I closed the lid. When I opened it again, I saw a blue screen and rotating dots that went on for hours. After a total of 9 hours working with Microsoft tech support, we concluded that my Intel graphic driver HD 4000 was most likely the culprit, as it had previously caused occasional RAM failures. Looking back at the Win 10 installation log, I saw that a more current driver was chosen by the utility out of Microsoft's own library. It was obviously not compatible, probably because the Intel driver was customized by HP and needs to be replaced by a custom driver. I actually found a more current HP driver yesterday, but I'm not certain that it will work and I don't want to go through the ordeal of rolling back to Win 7. The option of going back to a previous OS build after installing Windows 10 is only available for 28 days, so keep that in mind. The bottom line here is that it's best to wait and see if other users have successfully upgraded a similar machine. You might want to check all of your drivers as well. I assume you know how to boot into safe mode to see what you have going on at the moment.

Partitions are read-only after sleep mod, not able to sleep again etc.

I have strange problem, after resuming from sleep mode the system is often lagging, even for minute or so nothing loads. Sometimes it even stops responding at all, I cannot log in and/or start XFCE4. If I succeed to reboot, I get messages about readonly filesystem. May the problem be bad settings in fstab? I tried several combinations of 0 and 1 for the dump and pass for the two NTFS file systems. But even the root talks about read-only than.
Or other case is most things works fine but I cannot make it sleep again, it just writes something like **Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:1411: Using org.freedesktop UPower to suspend on the console where I am logged in and nothing happens.
This is my fstab:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sdb4 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdb6 /boot ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda1 /home ntfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0027 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /home/Instalace ntfs defaults,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=0027 0 0

From your statement "...after resuming from sleep mode the system is often lagging, even for minute or so nothing loads." I was thinking you might have the problem discussed in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116355&p=1 but I see you have XFCE. Strange because this is exactly what other users and I are experiencing under KDE.
Try checking if your CPU or a core of your CPU is at 100% usage.

Sleep mode not working properly on Macbook Pro

On my Macbook Pro everytime my mac enters sleep mode just the display goes to sleep never the system even after 8 hours. Checked the energy saver setting both display and computer are set to ten minutes. I can also never get the display to wake back up unless i do a hard reset. Any ideas? Thanks!

Does it now work only on battery? or using the power supply?
If only on the power supply use a grounded plug.
Otherwise try reseating touchpad cable. Post the size and year of your MBP.

Sleep mode not working after iMac WLAN Update 1.0

Hello,
unfortunately the sleep mode isn't working anymore after the latest "iMac WLAN Update 1.0" update.
Usually I press cmd+alt+eject to activate the sleep mode, since the update the screen switches off (black) for a second and immediately turns on again. Fans and HD keep running without any interruption.
Same behaviour if I use the "sleep mode" command from the Apple menu, except the screen turns off and keeps off, but fans and HD are still running.
The iMac never activates the sleep mode by itself (e.g. after 15 minutes), this also a new "feature" which occured after the update.
Is there anyone recognizing the same problems? Any hints how it can be solved?
Thank you very much in advance,
Oliver

I finally found the solution in a German newsgroup. First: It has nothing to do with the "iMac WLAN Update 1.0" .
A unsuccessful printer job caused the problem and just open the CUPS site http://127.0.0.1:631/jobs and delete the hanging job solved the problem!
Thanks,
Oliver

Sleep Mode not responding

Starting this morning (December 19) I am unable to put my computer into sleep mode. It always goes into sleep mode upon selecting that option. Now it doesn't. Any suggestions would be most helpful.
Thank you for your time
Glenda

You may want to try this (Resetting the SMU):
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
Read that first for more details:
