Sleeping when in use after upgrade to 10.5.3

I am hoping I am not the only one this is occurring to but have searched the forums and cant find anyone having posted on this...apologize if there is an answer already and would appreciate any assistance. I have posted this in two sections as not sure if its Macbook related or OS related.
I have just upgraded to 10.5.3 on my new Macbook (late November 2006 model) and ever since I am having problems with it randomly sleeping while I am in the middle of using it. It only occurs when running from battery but the battery is fully charged so dont think that is the cause. It goes completely black (the screen) and wont come out until the light pulses (ie has gone to sleep) and then I need to push a key to wake it up again. It can happen a few times a session or once..it seems completely odd without merit.
Has this occurred to anyone else or does anyone have any suggestions as to why it would do this?

I updated to 10.5.3 last night before going to bed, the same thing has been happening to me as well.
After it downloaded and updated the software it restarted twice, at one point between the startups the screen was black and I was a bit confused for a moment, but then it restarted and got to the login screen so I was able to shut it down properly.
This morning I turn it on and it's been going to sleep within minutes of startup. It did so twice, then I had some music on and it just went randomly to sleep, although I had completely dimmed down the screen.
Hope they patch this up soon!

  • PC is not going to sleep or shut down after upgrade to Windows10

    Hello,I upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to win 10.Now when I close the lid or press the power button, the computer turns the screen off, turns the WIFI off, no more hard disk activity but it is not going to sleep.Also when I shut it down it goes throught the same procedure but never turns off.To start again, I have to keep pressing the power button to turn it off, then turn it on again.I did the powercfg - energy and got this in the report, "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend"When the computer had just started, I don't get that message, it also goes to sleep and shuts down normally, while later, I get this message in the report and no longer sleeps or shuts down.Any suggestion ??Thanks

  • Can anyone help me with this: my daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade.

    My daughter lost her unlimited data plan when I used her upgrade to buy a new phone (upgrade transfer). She didn't upgrade her phone, I did. No one told us this was going to happen and the first I knew of it was when I got a letter in the mail telling me of the change. We went back to the store where we bought the new phone and they put in 2 requests for her unlimited plan to be reinstated, but both were denied. They then told us to call Customer Care, but Customer Care doesn't care. Does anyone else have any experience of this and know of any recourse we may have? Thanks for any help you can give me.

    She didn't upgrade her phone, but you did by using her upgrade.  It's her contract that then gets extended, not yours.  And, unfortunately, as of last June, whenever you sign a new two-year contract, you lose your unlimited data.  You can try to reverse the upgrade and get the unlimited data restored if within 30 14 days, but since Verizon has discontinued the unlimited data plans for everyone, I'm not sure how successful you'll be.
    For what it's worth, to keep unlimited data (at least for now; rumor has it that it may be completely gone next summer), you don't want to sign a new two-year contract, but pay full retail price, get the phone elsewhere (like ebay), or use an upgrade from a phone that's on a tiered data plan.
    It's 14 days, tiki.  Otherwise they are out of luck.

  • 2011 i5 MacBook Air unable to sleep with lid open after upgrading to 10.7.1

    Hi,
       After upgrading to 10.7.1 I noticed my 2011 i5 MacBook Air being unresponsive to wake events.  Per instructions I saw from other posts I pointed the Startup Disk to my main partition.  Shortly after (though I'm sure unrelated to Startup Disk) the Energy Saver preferences I noticed were no longer being adhered to.  I can make my machine sleep through
    1.  Apple -> Sleep optoin
    2.  Closing the lid
    However, when the lid is up the Energy Saver options are not being adhered to.  I have tried
    1)  Resetting PRAM
    2)  Resetting SMC
    3)  Removing SystemConfiguration folder
    4)  Turning off auto update on all apps running
    5)  Poring through system logs
    Interestingly enough, I looked through all system logs via Console and noticed during the time period in which sleep should be triggered NO EVENTS were being written to the system logs.
    Currently I am using the PleaseSleep app to get my computer to sleep properly.  Please advise!
    - Frank
    P.S.  I did do one thing was put a refridgerator magnet to the computer to "simulate" sleep but I doubt it would cause this broken behavior.

    Uninstall Growl. See:
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • IPhone connections hangs when sending email after upgrade.

    After upgrading to 2.0 firmware on my first generation IPhone, the phone now regulary hangs when sending email via smtp. Even if I try to close the connection by putting it into AirPlane mode and back again it still hangs and from that point onwards doesn't check or send any new emails. If I then shut the phone down and restart it looses the email as it's not either in the sent or outbox folders. This has happened quite a few times since upgrading. Does anybody have any advice?

    Found this useful tidbit by mdwelsh231 on another thread:
    "I'm having this problem too. Rather than rebooting the phone, an even easier solution is to hold down the Home button for several seconds (I believe it's 8 sec) which will kill the Mail application and return you to the home screen. Restarting Mail (by tapping the Mail icon) will cause it to reconnect. I find that this resolves the connection hanging issue. However, it is still kind of a pain. I suspect a bug in the 2.0 iPhone firmware. "
    Worked for me
    Cheers,

  • Why can't i use the Apple ID I have been using after upgrading my Ipad Software?

    After upgrading to the highest OS, I'm being asked for my Apple ID - and I am using the ID I have always used for my Iphone, Ipad and Ipod, but it is teling me my Apple ID (email address) is already in use.  I only have one Apple account and ID and need to use my ipad.  How can I use the same ID?  Thanks.

    You have to create an Apple ID a specific way to use it without a credit card. The one you have created now, cannot be changed to not have a credit card. See this support document. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534

  • Our application timeout when load testing after upgrading to OEL 4.8

    Hi,
    We recently have an upgrade from OEL 4.7 to OEL 4.8. Our application is running fine on OEL 4.7, but since after upgraded to OEL 4.8, it fails pretty frequently with timeout error when doing load testing (20+ users).
    Any ideas what can be the possible causes?
    Please advise.
    Thanks
    -Mina

    You're not giving much info.
    If it is networking related, the first think i would check is to make sure the network interface is configured properly. For instance, if your computer's NIC is set to auto and your network port on the network switch is set to fixed, then you will drop packages at high load due to errors on the interface. Those errors cannot be seen from the switch. Set both to auto or fixed, but it needs to be set to the same. Auto is standard and should work unless you have some strange equipment. Also replace the networking cable with a new one.

  • Blue Screen when Logging in after Upgrade

    Hi, I upgraded to 10.5.5 yesterday and had no problems.
    Until today, just a few minutes ago when I started my iMac. A blue screen simply appeared and stayed instead of the login window. I tried out all kinds of keyboard commands but no reaction. Then I clicked the power-button on the back of my iMac and suddenly the login screen appeared, and then suddenly disappeared again as the iMac went into sleep mode.
    Then I was able to wake it by clicking the button again, and the login screen was there. So nothing bad happened, but it got me very worried and disappointed. I am used to a lot more stability and perfection from Apple...
    Please tell me if there's anything I should know relating to this incident, or if you want to know more.

    What I said doesn't in any way say something about my interest. It's how I feel about the new version of Mac, and why I don't have backups. You bet ya I'm still interested in solving Mac issues, because I love Mac. I am constantly helping my friend who has just recently switched from Windows to Mac with technical/usage issues and I wouldn't come here in the first place if I wasn't interested.
    But if this glitch doesn't happen to me again, then yes, you're right, I wont be interested in solving this particular mystery anymore, even though I hope Apple stumbles across it sooner or later and fixes it despite its harmlessness. Because if you go too far without noticing ugly, yet small things about the OS, it might turn into an OS with the reliability of a Windows.
    However, above all of this, I am quite confident that Leopard, or rather "Snow Leopard" in this case, will bring back the stability and reliability to the Mac that I felt with Tiger.
    I've read your signature, but try not to be too short/quick on determining my interest in topics that I start myself
    Besides, everyone is in a bad mood at some point in time of the day/week and since pure text can't convey these feelings as an eye-to-eye conversation would, try to cut everyone some slack before coming to conclusions; being supportive is the best you can do when communicating with a person whose state of emotions you just cannot tell through this type of medium!
    And in any case, I respect you. Seeing that you have already made thousands of posts in these discussion boards gives me confirmation that you also love Mac and that you also like helping strangers with their computers; that's something I can understand, not only from my past participation in topics here, but also from helping other people with web development on IRC.
    Point is that if you felt like I disrespected you, or disrespected your offer to assist me in finding an answer to the original topic of this thread in particular, I didn't mean it. Hel, I appreciate the fact alone that you even wrote a response to my original post, so I hope I made my attitude to this forum and the people here clear.

  • IMac reboots from sleep instead of wake after upgrading to Lion

    When I put my iMac (late-2006 2.33GHz 3GB RAM) to sleep and later try to wake it using various methods (mouse click, keystroke), there is a "click" from the machine, the white "heartbeat" light stops blinking, and the machine reboots about 5 seconds later. I did not have this problem prior to "upgrading" to OS X Lion.

    Have you had a solution to this pelase because I have the same problem.

  • PB puts itself to sleep when in use

    The powerbook will put itslef to sleep with no warning. I will be working as normal on my computer and all of a sudden the computer diplay will go black, and the sleep light will begin to blink. I am not certain if the hardrive also goes to sleep, but im pretty sure it does. Sometimes it will happen as soon as I rewake it, and in most cases this ends in the computer freezing and forcing me to remove the battery and AC adapter to simply restart it.
    I have tried reseting the power management unit, removing external devices, and instructing the computer to not sleep at all. It seems to happen at random, for instance, atm, it seems to be working fine, but it could go to sleep at any second.

    I have had the worst time with my PB for about a month now. It all began when my hard drive crashed. I Replaced the HD.
    Reloaded and updated the OS and all software.
    Then, after about a week of everything running like it should, I began to have problems brought on by encrypting my data. My PB began to freeze. I spent about - and I'm not exaggerating - 3 1/2 hours on the phone with Apple Care. Finally had to zero out my hard drive and - once again - reload EVERYTHING.
    Everthing was fine for about a week and then, out of the blue, my PB would go into sleep mode - while I was typing.
    I spent another 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care. Finally had to zero out my hard drive and reload everything - AGAIN!!!!!!!!
    Imagine the frustration when - after I reloaded everything which takes at least 3-4 hours (after downloading upgrades and all) within 15 minutes it went back into sleep mode while I was typing!!!
    At this point I was just about ready to throw it out the window.
    Instead, I brought it to the Genius Bar.
    They took it in and replaced the mother board (the error log stated something about a printer error though it wasn't on line with the printer).
    I got the PB back the next morning and began to check my email when - guess what happens - yep, it went to sleep while I was typing!!!
    Each time it went to sleep I was able to wake it up after about 10 seconds by pressing a key. It would stay on for about 7 - 10 seconds before it would die again. After going through this cycle about 10 times it wouldn't wake up until I removed the battery. When I turned it on this last time I went immediately to the error log to see what was happening and this time it said "excessive temperature".
    Okay, so I went back to the Genius bar (amazingly, no blood was shed), and this time they sent it somewhere to be fixed.
    I'm waiting for it to come back. Though with all the problems I've been having with it I'm actually quite afraid of getting it back and having this or something else happen.
    I've got to say - through all this - the only reason I'm still sane is that everyone that has assisted me, whether on the phone with Apple Care or at the Genius Bar, has been absolutely fantastic! I love those guys! And, I love my PowerBook - I just want it back - the way it was - before all this started happening!
    I've been doing a lot of searching regarding this problem and - although Apple techs seem to have never heard of this problem before(???) - it has been happening to A LOT of people that have PowerBook G4's 15" and 17" built during 2005. It has to do with the TrackPad Sensor going haywire and the Topcase must be replaced - perhaps the motherboard as well.
    If you speak with an AppleCare tech tell him to read this: http://communitymx.com/search.cfm?searchtype=Basic&searchbox=PowerBook+Sleep&sub mit2=Search&shortLong=1&searchinside=0

  • Cinema DIsplay sleeps when I use Boot Camp with Radeon 5870 through DVI connection

    I just created a bootcamp partition on my Mac Pro (1,1) with Radeon 5870 and XP Professional so I can play Train Simulator 2012 with maxed out settings. Well after hours of installing Windows XP and updating it (via Parallels so I could do other things while waiitng for Windows) I got Train Simulator 2012 installed, Windows XP Professional fully upto date and reboot to bootcamp. I see the Windows screen and then my monitor goes to sleep (best guess). I am using an Apple Cinema Display 20" and is of course connected to the DVI port. One guess (and I hope I am totally wrong about this) is I think I remember reading the DVI port id display 3 not 1. I hope this isn't the problem (requiring me to buy a $40 Mini Display port for DVI adapter.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening? I was so looking forward to playing Train Simulator with maxed out graphics via Boot Camp with the Radeon 5870 1GB. Don't get me started as to why my line out is not being detected by XP Pro.
    I also have the latest Bootcamp drivers for XP (3.2).

    Never used XP and on Mac Pro I wanted to use all 4-cores and more than 1.9GB RAM but often it seems that in the past and with Fusion anyway you would need to install Windows updates and drivers natively not thru or in the VM.

  • Why does Firefox offer themes and gadgets to personalize the webpage, and then make it impossible to use after upgrading Firefox? Can or will these lost functions ever be restored?

    The functions designed to modify and/or create a personalize page has ceased to function since upgrading to Firefox versions 4 & 5. No trouble shooting info has been provided to indicate a correction for this problem.

    Hi musicfan,<br />Sorry you are having problems with Firefox. Maybe you should have asked earlier and we could have fixed it.
    Reading your comments I do not see that rolling back to an insecure Firefox 22 will actually help you much. You are probably best using IE, unless you have also damaged that.
    *[[Export bookmarks to Internet Explorer]]
    You should not use old versions they are insecure. Security fixes are publicised and exploitable.
    * [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    * https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
    Most others will not be having such problems. We are now able to say that with confidence because after developers missed a regression in Firefox 4 telemetry was introduced so that data was obtained. It may be an idea to turn on your telemetry, if you have not already done so, and decide to stick with Firefox.

    Trying safe mode takes seconds. Unfortunatly if you are not willing to do even rudimentary troubleshooting there is not anything we can do to help you.

  • Harddisk fails to enter sleep when not used!

    Hello,
    I want the harddisk to be switched off when the Macbook is apparently doing nothing, but switched on. Therefore I activated the according option in the powermanagement. But it doesn't work, even after rebooting.
    How can I find out which process accesses the disk and so prevents the disk to sleep?
    Does anybodey have the same problem?
    I eaven tried with manually setting the sleeptimer to 1 minute
    within the console and the command pmset.
    Thanks
    MBP Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    Yes I checked the box.
    The activity monitor doesn't help me any further because it only display the current processes and not only the process which regulary accesses the disk. Perhaps this isn't the cause anyway.
    But thanks for your idea.

  • Joikuspot premium cannot be used after upgrade!

    Hi, i have re-purchased the joikuspot premium software for my new phone from Nokia Ovi Store. After i downloaded the program from Nokia website, i can use the software immediately. when i started to use the software, I was being reminded the availability of the new version 3.0. Therefore i went to joikuspot website using my phone E72 to update the software. However, after i installed the software, it ask me the 12 digit code which i do not have(Nokia did not issue me with the code). how do i get the 12 digit code from ovi store??can anyone help??
    KaveGoh.

    You seem to have a very old version initially of JoikuSpot in your phone, which still uses the digit codes for DRM and for some reason doesnt recognize your license key. Most likely because the initial version you got from OVI Store has different DRM mechanism as the version you have now replaced into your phone. This is unfortunate, related to DRM detection differences BUT the solution is easy; just contact Joikusoft customer service at [email protected] or via support site www.joiku.com and they shall assist you further with your need to renew your license key.
