T410 looses screen resolution after awaking from sleep?

I have all up to date drives installed from lenovo Update utility. When my laptop comes out of sleep the screen reolution get lost and then to restore it back I just have to right click onmy desktop and click Nvidia control panel to restore back. Anyone has idear how this strange issue can be fixed? Thanks.

For anyone who wants to find the right Apple Mac screen that does not flicker, good Luck! The early Mac Books Pro's, had some screens made by two different manufactures.
Go into Terminal on your Mac. If the code
starts with "LP" you have an LG screen
if they start with "LSN" you have a samsung screen.
LG seems to be the problem? Samsung was so much better. Well for me anyway. Cant use modern macs and old macs......only a 2008 so far!
Try filming the screens on a slow shutter speed and watch the flicker, they all move at different speeds.
Some early ones don't really show up! : ) ( Samsung screen )
Ref below.
I look forward to Apple admitting the problem and fixing it.....Flicker free please.

Cannot login after awaking from sleep (login screensaver sleep problem)

After awaking from sleep or returning from the screensaver, the "loginwindow" of system.login.screensaver (visible after checking "details") does not recoginze the correct password. It is not possible to login this way anymore.
Very annoying!
Fortunately, I found a workaround using the functionality to switch users. The standard OS X welcome screen recognizes my password.
Anyone experiencing the same or with a way to correct the initial problem?
PS: the user account in question is a "network user"; it works as expected for a local user

More info:
It seems to be the screen going to sleep, not the computer. When I come back and touch the mouse or the keyboard, as the screen lights up, there is a flash of the web pages I left up, then they vanish.
Yikes!!!

IMac freezes up after awaking from sleep mode. I then Force it to shut down

My iMac freezes up after awaking from sleep mode. I then Force it to shut down and it freezes up during startup. Any clues out there? This is a first generation iMac G5 17".

Welcome to Discussions - check and see if you're included in Apple's Repair extension programs, your power supply or capacitors might be bad.

Macbook pro screen dims after waking from sleep?

Does anyone know why my macbook pro screen dims when waking from sleep or waking from my screen saver? I can't get it to stop doing this. Thanks.

It sounds like I have the same thing happening. It's more like the colors are washed out, like there is less contrast. I have a hot corner set up for my screen saver. Once I activate the screen saver for a second and then deactivate it, the Macbook screen goes back to normal. I have a 30" Samsung 305T monitor set up as a second (main) screen for when I'm working at home, which is most of the time. I haven't had it unplugged from the Macbook since this started, so I don't know if it happens by itself. I do know that the Samsung looks fine when waking up from the screen saver at the same time.
I tried to find others with this problem in this forum, but got tired of looking through all the other posts that had nothing to do with this problem.
Can anyone help us?

Wrong resolution after resuming from sleep

I started having this weird problem some time ago, it's important to note that I haven't had this problem right after installing Arch.
After waking my laptop from sleep I get a brief black screen with "ACPI: unable to dock" error message and then the desktop shows up but with a resolution of 1333x750 which oddly enough does not match any mode reported by xrandr, and I can't manually switch to any other resolution untill I either log off and logon or reboot the laptop.

No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

Dark screen remains after waking from sleep mode

Whilst using Safari Version 3.1.2, Mac OS 10.4.11 on my Powerbook G4 (aluminum, 1.5 ghz), my screen remains dark upon waking from sleep mode. Trying to increase screen brightness is ineffectual for some reason likely related to this problem. My only workaround is to force shutdown and restart. Any ideas about a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary,
This behavior is not a Safari issue but system related.
Close all applications an run in utilities> disc repair permissions.
After you done reboot an see what happens when your Mac gets to sleep mode again. This time don't open any applications to test it. Just leave it showing your desktop.
Post back with the results ...

5G iPod wont play after awaking from sleep

Im not sure why but all the previous posts for this very same problem have been archived without answers. When my ipod is left to go to sleep on its own, after its woken from sleep mode it wont play - even though the default pause icon changes to the play arrow the counter never starts and no audio is heard. I must turn it off and then on again to begin playing. If I turn it off ( hold play button ) instead of ever letting it go to sleep it works perfect every time. I see many others posting for the same issue in the past - I smell Firmware Upgrade !!!
Anyone found any other possible fix?
Thx - Mike

I see helpful answers as 2 and solved answers as 1, but I dont see where those answers are, however, I think your G5 has the same problem I do. For some reason it takes a LOT of smackin me around in the morning to wake me up. I've had this problem for years, and I still don't have a solution.
Seriously, the problem will take some troubleshooting, but do you have any "other" enhancements in your system preferences or other apps loaded that might have an option to put your computer to sleep? if so, you may have a setting there that is putting your mac to sleep immediately after waking it. Also, try going to the system preferences and selecting "never" for putting the computer to sleep, then go to your "Apple" icon and manually put your mac to sleep (first option above restart) and then move your mouse or try some keys to wake it up and see if it stays awake. If the mac stays awake, then I would say this leads me to believe its your system preferences giving you the conflict.

Abnormal Start-up Screen Appearing after wake from Sleep Restart

I have started to have this problem with my MacbookPro where I will come back and wake try and wake from sleep and nothing. The computer is off or unresponsive. Upon restart I get an abnormal start up screen which looks like this image that I snagged with my camera:
http://www.creativetantrum.com/screen.jpg
In all my years of using a Mac I have never seen anything like this. And the MBP never gets pass the screen I have to hard restart and it launches into this screen:
http://www.creativetantrum.com/startup.jpg
and runs through to the login screen.
Previously I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC(?) as well as running Cocktail on the machine. Those sequences seemed to resolve the issue for at least a day. The only thing I have done that I can think may have caused this is I play a game called "Ouba" that runs in 640 x 480 or some low resolution that the MBP seems to resemble upon restart.
Also upon restart I am given an opportunity to send Apple a message regarding the crash. Here is what it sends:

Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks.

the settings are done via Terminal commands or through a widget (i know there is "deepsleep" and i think another)
you should be able to find the terminal command through reading about the different sleep modes, if not try goggling "changing sleep mode on mac" and that should show you. if you cant find it let me know and ill try to dig it back up.
the MBPs are standard with safe sleep, the older lap tops used quick sleep. there is not way to change them through the standard system in a GUI, it has to be done via code (very easy because you can just copy and paste it in)

Safari Pages and Mail cannot be seen after awaking from sleep

If I leave Safari or Mail open, all of a sudden now when I come back and wake the computer from sleep, the programs are open, but the pages or mailboxes cannot be seen. New pages do not open. All that is seen is the menu bar, which seems to operate normally, but no inboxes or pages appear. I have to shut the computer down to get it to work again.
Any thoughts?

More info:
It seems to be the screen going to sleep, not the computer. When I come back and touch the mouse or the keyboard, as the screen lights up, there is a flash of the web pages I left up, then they vanish.

NAS Shares disconnect after awaking from sleep

I have been searching and searching for a solution to this frustrating problem.
Every time my laptop goes to sleep the SMB shares from my NAS become unresponsive. The only way to fix the problem is to reset my computer. Obviously this is a problem.
I once found a program that I thought my have worked that automounted the share but deleted out of stupidity and can't find it. I have added the shared to my login account and that works at startup but not when I wake the computer up from sleep. Please help this is frustrating!
I should add that the NAS is a HP MediaSmart 487

13" MBA screen blank after waking from sleep

I got a MBA very recently and noticed that if I shut the top and soon reopen it, the screen is totally blank except for the cursor. Clicking and pressing keyboard buttons doesn't help bring me to the login screen. Eventually the screen goes black and then goes to login if I click or press a button. I already took it to the store and after close to 4 hours (they were extremely behind....5th ave store from 1230 -4 am!!) and resetting the laptop I was told to call apple care. I called and after a while he told me I have to send it in for repair. Does any one else experience this blank screen with a cursor after waking?
Ps some want to blame chrome. My feeling was that if there's no known issue with chrome currently, there's no reason I should refrain from using it.

This happens every so often to my 12" Aluminium PowerBook after sleeping (black screen, hard drive spinning away) and after trying every possible key combination and nothing helping, I'm usually left with the usual last resort, which is a hard restart. Of course that remedies the problem short term but unfortunately, only until the next time it happens. For me, it has been an issue since I bought it and is not affected by the OS.
I am wondering if it has anything to do with the clasp not working properly when the lid is closed. Sometimes I get the sleeping light, sometimes not - unless I play with the lid until it clicks shut. Then the light appears. Importantly, when the sleeping light appears, the machine always wakes properly with the lid opening. But I have noticed that when the light does not come on and I haven't bothered to shut it down properly, that is when the problem occurs. Which makes me wonder if rather than going into sleep mode it is actually going into hibernation mode due to non use? I haven't a clue but perhaps someone here knows far more about such things than myself?

Screen Black after waking from sleep mode (after 10.4.11 update)

This issue has happened before with an earlier update (10.3.8 Delta fixed the issue originally), and I suspect it is the same with this current update.
Has anyone else had this problem with the new update and has there been a patch released to fix the problem yet? Hopefully we can get an update soon.

Locking-up after awaking from sleep

I have a Dual 1.8 G5 PowerMac running 10.4.6. After about 5-7 times being put to sleep it locksup trying to wake up. All I get is my desktop with icons but no mouse and no response. The only thng i can do is hard boot with the power button. What could cause this?

Dear Matthew,
The issue is a sleep issue which can be a hardware related or software relate. You need to inform me if the sleep crash happens when you evoke it from the apple menu or auto sleep function (both functions through operating system) or when you press the power button to evoke sleep (this functions direct through hardware).I am possiably thinking this is due to the software as you must be doing it through the operating system.
There is also a firmware update associated for this issue for single 1.8 GHz processor http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302212
HOWEVER I did observe that your unit is a dual processor.
As to troubleshoot this issue if this is a software related issue you will have to drag a file called Energysaver.plist on to the desktop. The Location of this file is under :
HDD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder > Energysaver.plist
Once you have dragged this file to the desktop restart the unit and check.
If this is a hardware related then try to reset the PMU and repair the RAM and check.
Hope this information is helpful.
Good Day !

My iPad loses it's ability to connect to the internet after awaking from sleep mode. Needs to be rebooted to reconnect.

My iPad loses it's ability to reconnect to the wifi after sleep mode often times, but not always. It is very annoying because it requires a reboot to reconnect. It is running the latest iOS software update. I have also reset network settings to the factory defaults. My wifi is working fine, and all other devices in my house have no issues at all.

Well, I think I have finally come up with a solution. It seems this issue happens when it auto locks. I turned auto lock to "never" in settings, and the issue has not happened since. Seems there may be a bug in this feature???
I now use manual lock, and upon awakening the wifi is now fully working.

Strange Graphics issue on switching users after awaking from sleep

As the title says... Here's the scenario:
I logon to my MBP, do some work, then put it to sleep.
My girlfriend comes along, and opens up the MBP. My logon details are presented to her, so she presses "Switch User".
When she does this, the MBP goes really funky. Loads of strange colors, some small areas of my logged in desktop appear, then loads of white cubes appear.
See:
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage1.jpg
http://www.rock-sound.net/stevetemp/stage2.jpg
Can anyone else confirm this happens on their MBP ? Otherwise Genius Bar here I come..

This happened on my iMac G5 and had the logic board and display replaced to no avail. Only happened when switching users.
Not happening on my MacBook Pro ... so far....and hope it stays like that.
Someone also said it might be to do with bad capacitors.
