Solution found for waking up wireless mouse after it goes to sleep

I've seen a couple posting saying they were having the same problem with the wireless mouse that comes with the Lenovo Enhanced Performance Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Problem: After a period of time the mouse goes into a sleep mode while the keyboard appears to be functioning. Sliding the mouse back and forth does nothing to awaken it. Most people report having to mash the little yellow sync button on the mouse and usb dongle.
Solution: Pick up the mouse just far enough to break the surface that it is sitting on and 'drop' it back down. Mouse turns back on.
I've tried the above steps several time on three seperate setups that we have and it has worked each time.

You do not have a RAM disk unless you set one up. Currently, Mac OS X does not support the creation of a RAM disk except through third-party utilities such as ramBunctious. Basically, a RAM disk is a virtual disk that you can store files on for very fast access or to reduce disk usage while running on battery power. This disk is based in RAM, and so will be lost (unless written to disk) when power is removed. In this case, "losing" the RAM disk would mean forgetting that one was set up to be created in memory.
If you're getting the beeps and LED flashing, that sounds like a hardware problem—specifically RAM. (Support article)

Cannot right click on wireless mouse after mavericks upgrade

cannot right click on wireless mouse after mavericks upgrade. please help!

Hey eedge520,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are unable to right-click with your mouse after updating. Let’s check your mouse preferences, as you can enable this behavior in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click > Secondary Click

My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down. I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up. I think this just started with Lion. My iPod and iPad have no trouble.

My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down. I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer. I think this just started with LION. My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

Thank you BGreg. That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine. I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion. I may be incorrect about that. I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help. Not so. Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem. I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts. Nothing Improves. It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

3 year old iMac 24 running OS10.7.4. After it has been on for a day or so, it stops going to sleep and becomes very slow. This only happens when Safari is running. Quitting Safari solves the problem. Has anyone else have the same problem?

Hello Albert, see how many of these you can answer...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

When I leave my imac unattended for about 15 minutes, instead of it going to sleep, it shuts off entirely. Is there any way I can have it go to sleep after about 15 minutes of inactivity, without it shutting off entirely?

You are correct as I tried that and still have the problem. I did the pmset -g in termal you suggest and here is mine. This original post is my exact problem that has driven me crazy for far to long. Can you help WZZZ?

Request to Mods. re: Yoga Tablet pro 2 not wakeable after it goes to sleep

We have a number of posts regarding the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 going to sleep and not waking up. Can we get some kind of confirmation that this is actively being worked on or passed along? I feel most of us have tried to do a factory reset, for some it's worked for a time, others (such as myself) this has not worked at all. It is not a battery issue because when you hard power off the device and repower it back on, the battery still shows maybe a few percent less than when the device went to sleep.
I do know this is frustrating me and I'm tempted to walk away from this tablet for that reason.
Perhaps we can get a confirmation that this has been passed up the chain or any kind of other "official" recommendations to try. It's not fun having to come back to my tablet after it goes to sleep and having to hard power it off and then repower it back on - every 5th or 6th time.
Thank you,
Dan

I am bumping this. I'd like to see one thread or a sticky on this topic. There are too many threads on this issue and some of us are repeating the same information. I'd also like to know if any work is being done by Lenovo on this issue. The Factory reset seemed to work for a 2 weeks and now my tablet is back to sleeping and not waking.
If someone stumbles on this, the North American Number for Lenovo Tech Support is:
877-453-8686
If you call, Remind them that the Factory reset does not work.
Dont forget to be courteous!

My iMac logon screen locks up after it goes to sleep

my iMac log on screen locks up no mouse control after it goes to sleep when I turn it on by hitting the spacebar I have to reboot Iam running the latest softwear

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 the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have my AIR plugged into another monitor and after it goes to sleep sometimes it sounds like the system is running and it will not come back up.. I have to restart it. What is this.. Please help

I have a macbook air and i have it hooked to another monitor and I love it but lately it has after it goes to sleep for a while it sounds like it is trying to run the drive or fan really hard and when I try to bring it alive it does not come back to life so I have to hard boot it and then restart it. What is this...

Go into Sys. Pref , and power settings and UNcheck "put hard disks to sleep" on both power tab and battery tab.
When on projector use with your Air and a presentation, dont close the monitor or sleep your Air.
Verify any coincident applications running that can/could conflict with projector / sleep occurrence by running Etrecheck:

Windows 7 Does Not Respond after it goes to sleep

We are using Windows 7 image distribution through SCCM for our entire organization. Lately, I came across this issue, now becoming more common on all
the systems. The computer won't wake up from sleep by pressing any key, if left unattended for more that 30 Mins (rather after it goes to sleep). A forced Restart is then necessary to return everything to normal. We are using Dell Latitude E series laptops,
as a standard all throughout our organization.
Already tried lot of option like - upgrading the drivers, changing the power plans etc. However, neither of them worked. Any suggestions in this regard
are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

These type of issues can be solved by performing a startup repair.

Log in screen appear after Mac goes to sleep even if screen lock is turned off.

Log in screen appear after Mac goes to sleep even if screen lock is turned off. This happens usually but not always. Using Yosemite, 2 year old iMac. This has only started to occur recently and it happened in Mavericks also.

Howdy stkh,
You may want to check the General pane of the Security & Privacy System preferences to make sure that the Require password...after sleep or screen saver begins is not checked. See this article for reference -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Fans go on at full speed 1 min. after computer goes to sleep

Problem: Fans go to full speed 1 min. after it goes to sleep-mode. The fans will stay on until it wakes up from sleep-mode.
Computer: Apple Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, OS 10.4.9, 4.5 GB RAM. 2 HD, late 2005 version.
The problem happens every time I put it to sleep, even right after it has been turned on.
I have measured the CPU temp to be as low as 36-40C and it will still turn the fans on high speed when put to sleep.
I have reset the P-RAM and the SMU.
I have installed a fresh version of OS 10.4.9 on second drive, booted from it and it still turn the fans on 1 minute after it goes to sleep.
I have had all the RAM out beside the original RAM. I did an extended Apple Hardware test which passed.
...any ideas ?

5 Macs in total Mac OS X (10.4.9)

After trying all that, it sounds like it's hardware-related--possible logic board--but try this yet.
Do an Open Firmware reset: Hold the CommandOption+OF keys during startup. At the '>' prompt type:
>reset-nvram
Return
>set-defaults
Return
>reset-all
Return
The reason the fans are taking off, is because the OS stops communicating with the logic board.

Recommendations for a Bluetooth/wireless mouse that is not a MIghty Mouse

I'm tired of having problems with my Bluetooth mighty mouse, and want to know what other people are using for a Bluetooth or wireless mouse. IMO, the trackball on the Mighty Mouse is a major design flaw, that is easily clogged with dirt or dust, and the frequent cleaning is either time consuming, or not very effective. I've tried pretty much everything ever suggested in these forums to fix the Mighty Mouse, and I'm to the point where I'd just rather something else, preferably a traditional two-button design, with a scroll wheel.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I give the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 five stars. Yeah, I know, how can MM from Apple be so bad, and anything from MS be great. The 8000 is a full 5-button mouse, 4-way scrolling, programmable, rechargeable, bluetooth mouse. Pairs easily with the bluetooth on my iBook or iMac. You can find it for around $60, but get this. You don't need the BT dongle, so sell it on eBay and recover your $60.
Microsoft doesn't officially support the 8000 on Mac, but Mac drivers come on the CD. You install the CD drivers, then download Intellipoint 6.1 and install only the mouse for full functionality.
