Sleep mode with screen shut

I am trying to figure out how to get my Macbook to not put itself to sleep when I close the screen. I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings... Any help would be appreciated!

Heat is exhausted through the rear so it should not be a problem. However, using a cooling pad sure can't hurt anything!

IMac in sleep mode with fans blasting at 5,000 RPM?

When I came home from work my iMac was still in sleep mode with the fans running at nearly 5,000 rpm, was very loud. Anyone having the same issue?
I tested it with TechTools Deluxe and it didn't find any issues.

Reset the SMC and if that doesn't do it reset the PRAM. I think the SMC reset will take care of it though.
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
• Release the keys.

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 spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode

Hi. My Macbook spontaneously goes into sleep mode and screen off mode with varying time between each instance. It usually goes for a few minutes or even hours without doing it and then will go through periods of fluctuation between the modes. I believe this to have started with a minor orange juice accident rather than it being anything software related.
Any ideas as to how I might rectify the problem? Thanks very much in advance,
Danny

When you say it goes into sleep mode ...do you mean you actually see the white pulsing light?
It may be that there is an application running (perhaps in the background) that is keeping your book awake. Printer software sometimes does this for example ...try logging out and seeing if it sleeps like that. If it does, then it very well may be a background process running.
You may find some items in System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items that may be the culprit.

Sony prs t2 sleep mode with showing picture

Dose sleep mode with selecting picture consume batt energy more than without showing one?
Thank you verymuch
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for your question - actually it really shouldn't make any difference. Battery power is consumed when an E ink display changes but not during the time the page itself is displayed, so matter what you have on the screen the power consumption should stay the same.

How much time can an ipad mini stay in sleep mode with the smart cover on

How much time can an ipad mini stay in sleep mode with the smart cover on?

Hello Kavans,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your MacBook Pro. I recommend reviewing the following article for this issue:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

When trying to log back from sleep mode, the screen behaves as a rotating cube, with the mouse pointer in the top left corner. Hangs.

iMac OS X Ver 10.7.3
21.5 Inch, Mid 2011
2.5 FHz intel Core 5
12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
When the computer in woken from sleep mode we see two login options (bineg used by two users).
But when we try to login, the screen just behaves as a sluggish rotating cube.
Nothing works, we just have to hard boot at this time.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Sleep mode with external monitor

I've noticed that if I'm using my Macbook connected to an external monitor then sleep mode cannot be initiated by simply closing the lid.
The system starts to enter sleep then bounces out of that mode and remains running (with the dock having moved to the external screen)
Initiating sleep thru' the on/off button seems to work.
Isn't this what Beta versions are for?

Hi Ruby326,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
This does sound like a very frustrating situation. I understand that your keyboard and trackpad not responsive after waking from sleep and you are forced to shut down to get them to respond. In this situation I would recommend resetting the computer’s PRAM and testing fresh. Please read over and follow the instructions for this process in the attached article.

Have a great day,

Printer now will not come out of sleep mode with new MiFi 5510L

I have a HP 3522 All In One wireless printer networked via my MiFI router that goes into sleep mode as it is supposed to after a set period of idle time but the only way I can get it back on line/wake up is to unplug it and plug it back in. While asleep, none of the buttons work and all print jobs fail because the 'printer cannot be found'. I never had this problem until I upgraded from an older MiFi unit to the 5510L.
I am using a MacBook Pro and MacBook Air both running OS X Mavericks 10.9.1
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

KSutherland, I'm so sorry this is occurring with your phone. I understand how frustrating this can be when you're trying to use your phone and have to pull the battery. I researched information about your phone that have been reported by customers and didn't find this as a known issue. I also show the Bionic received a software update on December 9, 2011. I recommend updating your phone to the new software, which can assist with. I listed a link below with information and instructions for the update.
http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/droid_bionic.html
Additionally, I would also like to recommend clearing the cache and browser history. This can help the device from having slow functionalities. The steps are below:
From a Home screen, select the App menu (located in the lower right).
Select Browser.
If the application icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
Select Menu.
Select More.
Select Settings.
Within settings you can clear the following :
--Clear all, which clears all deletes history, cache, cookies, form data and passwords
--Clear cache, which clears visited website content stored on the device. The cache enables the browser to download only the content that has changed since the last time a website was visited. Since the browser only downloads changed content, pages are loaded faster.
--Clear history, which clears a listing of URLs (website addresses) that have been recently visited.
--Clear cookie data, which clears some cookies contain customized preference and logon information for previously visited websites. Once deleted, the website may prompt for this information again.
Pleas let us know if the above steps work for you.
Have a good day.

Mac Pro Crashes Everytime Come back from Sleep Mode with Logic 8 Session on

Hi All,
I just got this new mac and have Logic Studio Setup on there along with VSL. I use Apogee Ensemble audio interface via firewire and have a Motif XS as my midi controller.
This morning I was in the middle of a session in Logic and then put the computer to sleep for an hour or so. I turned it back on and my 2nd monitor (right dual monitor) said I had to restart my computer. It was locked up. I restarted it and put it to sleep again after 20 minutes and came back 1.5 hours later and the same thing happened.
So, now I restarted it and it has not done it. Any ideas to what is the problem? Everytime i restart it says Mac OSX unexpectedly quit..
Please advise as this is a brand new computer and maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.

I have an Ensemble also. Most likely, the issue is with the Ensemble firewire driver. It doesn't support sleep mode.
In any case, I would suggest shutting Logic down and also turning off the Ensemble if you're going to put the computer to sleep. I know that's a bit of a hassle, but it will solve your problem.

HP Envy Laptop will not Wake up from Sleep Mode with Windows 10

The reason I decided to go back to windows 8 was because since upgrading to Windows 10, when my computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. I have to press and hold the power button to shut it done and restart. Even if I close my laptop, and reopen the lid, it wont start back up and I have to press and hold the power button and shut it down and restart. After trying to restore my HP Envy Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 8, it got stuck in a Repair PC Loop and I could not even access the desktop, I tried the restore option to an earlier date and that failed and all the repair options also failed. The last option I had was to do a full PC Refresh, and that one worked. It took about an hour but no data was lost, and only a few of my downloaded apps were removed. An html url was left on the desktop that showed a list of all the apps that were removed. So all I did was download those back and now im back up and running Windows 8. I want to re-download Windows 10, does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hello mistyb1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not waking up from Sleep Mode.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the printer connected to the wall outlet, please use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle. This will do a Semi power reset on the printer.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

How to initiate sleep mode with x61.

Hi there,
I just received the x61 latop and I am trying to determine the best way to turn on the sleep mode when I take the x61 out of the dfocking station. Is it even possible? I have a scheme set up in Presentation Director when I remove the laptop from the docking station but it does not make the laptop sleep. I could not find any option in Presentation Director to do this. So what is the best method. I guess the only time I would want it on is when I take out docking station to go home. Then I would want it on. However to take it out of the docking station and take it to a meeting I guess I would not want to turn on sleep mode. So I have two scenarios. To take out of docking station to go to meeting and to go home. How can I make the distinction in Presentation Director to only put it on when I go home?
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...Bruce

Hi Drieux,
I have tried with odiwaitfordata tool but no luck.
What I did,
I have added odiwaitfordata tool after last scenario in PKG1 and added below command and regenerated the PKG1 and added scheduler with 10 min
OdiWaitForData "-CONTEXT=WCDS1" "-LSCHEMA=WCDS" "-SQLFILTER=current_state = 0" "-TIMEOUT_WITH_ROWS_OK=NO" "-INCREMENT_DETECTION=NO" "-TABLE_NAME=CDS_NOTIFICATION"
Can any one please correct me if my development is wrong

Prevent sleep mode with mbp 2011

how do I prevent my mbp 2011 to get into sleep mode when closing the lid.
I tried insomniaX, Caffein and lullaby but non of them worked!
Thx in advance,
Maik

What do you guys suggest for settings on the sleep mode, I've just got a new MBP and it goes dark quick when using off battery, slightly longer off mains, barely a minute or what seems like. Do you leave at factory settings or ??
I'm still at a loss with the calibrating instructions?
The battery time left changes every minute so never have any idea how much power/time is left?
This calibration method, after leaving for 2 hours in the green fully charged, when you unplug it do you have to leave it on till it turns itself off in one hit, overnight, or can you turn it off and just use it till it dies without charging it the next day when it runs down to 0%?
And what does this actually mean? You can only fully charge it twice a week? For my business use it will need charging every day
*Do’s & Don’ts*
DO use your battery frequently and lightly, ideally completing 1-2 charge cycles per week (minimum one charge cycle per month).

PowerBook enters sleep mode with charger on and with new battery in Full

Hi all,
My powerbook enters in Sleep mode when it has a lot of energy. I have the powerbook with the charge on and battery in full charge and it still goes to sleep mode. It happens even when I'am working a lot with the computer. It appears that when a left my computer go to sleep over night the next day e goes a lot to sleep even when I'am working with the computer. I have tried to use just the charger, and just de battery but the error continues. I havemy power setting and it is e best performance (and it never goes to sleep in this mode).
I can only avoid this if I never put the computer to sleep, because I i put it i will start putting it self to sleep.
I have bought a new battery (7 months) and a new charger (2 month) recently, could be this the case?
What is happening to my computer?
It is my computer to ald and tired and needs to sleep a lot :/ ?
Thanks for any help!

The date only goes to 1970-01-01 if e click in power on without the battery and the AC adapter.
If I remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter e wait many minutes and put back on the battery and the AC adapter a switch the power back on the date staid the same.
I have notice one other think, some times the new battery that a bought in apple store does not charge (a have to remove the AC adapter a plug back in for it to charge), the AC adapter is correctly plug-in but it does not charge. I am begging to suspect that it is something wrong the the hardware (or the battery or the charger) sell by apple store.
Is the any place for replace bad hardware still in warranty in apple store?
What is the place to contact apple suport for this matters?
Thanks!
