Thinkpad Yoga wakes up on its own after going to sleep blaming lid if wifi was enabled

Recently I've noticed that my Thinkpad Yoga (20CD00B1US) keeps waking up on its own.
powercfg lastwake returns

Wake History [0]
Wake Source Count - 1
Wake Source [0]
Type: Device
Instance Path: ACPI\PNP0C0D\2&daba3ff&2

Description: ACPI Lid
Manufacturer: (Standard system devices)
It happens either if lid was kept open and I used power button to put it to sleep or if I just close the lid. As soon as I do that I can see red LED goes on and off slowly so I know it is sleeping. However within 5 minutes or less, I see that red LED on top of "i" constantly lit.
If I do powercfg -devicequery wake_armed , I get
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
That is really odd. I have WPA2 (PSK) wireless network, and I'm confident other devices are not that smart to send any WOL packets (or whatever it is called for wireless). Also I have AMT and other stuff disabled in BIOS. Intel Smart Connect has Remote Wake set to OFF, Keep Data Fresh is OFF as well. The problem goes away if I turn flight mode (turn off wifi) before sending PC to sleep.
Does anybody else experience similar behavior and what can I do to prevent waking it up without flipping wifi switch? It is so strange that the lid is at blame while the problem is somehow related to wireless adapter.
P.S. Installed BIOS version is 1.05 (not the latest 1.06). All essential updates are installed.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You may wish to check the WNIC's properties in Device Manager to see if Allow this device to wake the computer under Power Management is selected. If so, deselect to see if your issue is resolved.

IMac wakes on its own after putting it to sleep

Just got my iMac back from the shop with a new hard drive put in. After setting it up, it seems to wake from sleep on its own after a few minutes. Only change since before sending it in to be fixed (when i had no issues with sleep) is that I now have it set up to access the internet thru a wireless router. Could that cause the waking up? should i try turning Airport off before sleeping to see if that works?
Thanks

I'm kind of out of ideas, for now.
Have you tried to repair permissions/disk? I'm not exactly sure how your system is set up, but your wireless internet shouldn't be to blame [in theory]. When you put your iMac to sleep, it should be turning off the AirPort card [along with various other components]. It would be a possibility that if you had your mac hooked in by ethernet and you had something like "Wake on ethernet ring" checked in System Prefs. [that your mac could randomly wake up].
I almost wonder if it's a firmware problem. Or maybe a problem with a Mac OS X update, I'm also contemplating that it could help to download a combined updater and try to install.
Hmmmm....
I'll think on it. I know there's some idea that I'm missing here which could help, but I just can't get it to come to mind.

Mac Pro wakes up on its own!

I have had my Mac Pro for over two years, but only since maybe two weeks ago have I had this issue. I always put the computer to sleep when I'm not using it, but lately it will wake up "on its own" with the least provocation. The most frequent catalyst is static electricity, when I feel a spark from touching my doorknob, or turning on my lamp, or taking off my sweater, the computer will turn on, even if I'm a few feet away. Plugging the power cable into my nearby MacBook will do it too. And I think, though I can't remember exactly, that it sometimes happens without anything electrical happening nearby, just seemingly at random! Does anyone know if I can do anything about this?

This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB card.
Also, here is Apple KB article TA2469 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"
Good Luck!  DALE

after downloading ios 8 on my i pad air 16 GB, my i pad keeps on restarting on its own after some time? any idea how can it be rectified?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

What do you mean "update X"? What update are you referring to?

ThinkPad T420i won't wake up after going to sleep.

My T420i won't wake up after going to sleep (using Fn F4 or close the laptop or time out). The computer was wiped clean and reinstalled with only Windows 7 professional and some Levono softwares. BIOS, windows and all drivers are up to date. The only way to get it back is hold the power button to reboot it. When it reboots, i get improperly windows shut down error.

I'd guess it's ACPI related issue. Check out ACPI driver and correspondent items in Control panel.
Energy report might be helpful too ("powercfg -energy" command within console window with administrator rights)

HP Envy shutting down after going into sleep mode

Hi. I'm not sure where to post this so I'll try it here.
My laptop shut downs automatically when it goes into sleep mode. Not right away when going into sleep mode. Maybe like an hour later after going into sleep mode.
I'm not sure it's overheating because it never shuts down while I'm actually using the laptop.
Do you guy have any idea how to fix this?
Product name and number: HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1115dx

Hey Tecmo_SB_Guy,
I would suggest you take a look at advanced power settings. It can seem like the notebook is turning off when it is actually just hibernating. You can set it to not hibernate.
1. Windows key + Q to open the Search Bar
2. Type "power"
3. Click Settings under the Search Bar
4. Select Power Options from the results on the left.
5. In Power Options, Click Change when the computer sleeps, on the left.
6. Set the Put the computer to sleep setting so that it fits your usage best.
7. Click Change advanced power settings, at the bottom.
8. Expand Sleep and expand Hibernate after. If you want you can change the hibernation setting to Never by typing "Never" into the minutes field. See attached picture. You can do this for battery and/or plugged in.
9. Click Apply to save changes.
If you don't already shut it down periodically, I would suggest shutting it down at least 2-3 times a week if you use it daily. Leaving the computer running continuously can shorten its lifespan. Hard drive failures and motherboard issues are seen much more often on machines that are left running constantly. Computers get bogged down and run slowly when the memory is full. Memory only clears out and resets itself when the computer is shut down. Here is a link explaining more about memory accumulation and hardware aging.
I hope these suggestions help! Please let me know if you have any questions

Power Mac G4 loses internet connection after going to sleep

Run down of computer: I have a Power Mac G4 tower, PANTHER OSX. I have wireless internet through our cable company—I use a wireless router. When I am connected to the internet, and browsing the web or something, if I let the computer go to sleep, it loses connection. I have to go back up to the little signal icon and reconnect to my wireless network.
I suspected it might be a setting through the router, but when my computer was comletely unplugged, and absent from the apartment, the other computer (G5 imac–TIGER) which was having the same problem, suddenly was staying connected even after going to sleep. When my computer came back home and was hooked back up, suddenly the other computer had the same problem again. So, I concluded that my G4 tower was the culprit, and perhaps not the router. We share a wirless network, so it's not surprising that this is the case.
I know there must be a setting somewhere in preferences or something that is telling the computer to disconnect from network when computer sleeps. I have looked everywhere, and can not figure it out.
It's really annoying to have to reconnect each time I use my computer. And just to reiterate, I get internet through a cable modem using my airport card, so please answer the question with this in mind as settings are totally different from dial-up. I do not use PPP.
Anyone experience this problem? Or know how to help?

Tried that too! Notta.
This one's really a pickle! Even the Mac specialist at my office was baffled! He suggested shortening the name of my computer...(Jamie Cendroski's computer)...I didn't really understand how this had anything to do with it...but he's supposed to be the expert. He also suggested trashing my keychains and making new ones. I messed around with them, but I don't know enough about this stuff to be bold enough to trash them yet. I'll do a little more research before I do so. I think he might be onto something with the keychains though..?

I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
And a sidenote...
Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.
Best, Jan

Mac won't re-start after going to sleep

Since installing a new version of FaxstfPro (version 10.7), my MAC won't re-start after going to sleep. I have to re-boot to get the system started again.
Thanks for any ideas on how to re-store the sleep fucntion.

Thanks for the excellent tip. From reading the bluetooth advisories, I realized that my D-link was incorrectly installed in a UBS hub. Moving it to a direct UBS port resolved the problem.
During the trouble shooting process, I found that I do not have a Bluetooth setup assistant. I have recently installed OS X 10.4.6 and also applied the Bluetooth firmware update, but I can not find the Bluetooth setup assistant in Utilites, and a search via Finder didn't locate it either. And I can't find the software in the .Mac downloads.
Any suggestions on how to restore the assistant?

Lately my Mac won't stay asleep. Wakes up on its own.

I am running Mavericks OS 10.9.5. Every night, I would put my Mac to sleep usually using a Hot Corner. No problems, no waking up in the middle of the night. In the morning, I just tap my trackpad and it would wake up.
It seemed it was no more than 3 nights ago and I woke up in the middle of the night because the monitor was on. I did not wake the computer. I thought it was just a fluke, but it's done it every night now. I did a few tests, like turning off my router, not using the Hot corner, but using the keyboard to Sleep. I unchecked the Lan wakeup option - although I'm sure it was checked before and working fine. But, I don't need to remotely wake it up anyway.
I can't think of anything new that I have done.
I don't know how to troubleshoot this issue. I tried looking through the Console logs, but there's just too much information there!
I have a Mac Keyboard - usb plugged directly into MiniMac. I have a Trackpad which is bluetooth.
I used to also have my external drive connected, but in the past couple of days it's been off! (maybe I should turn it on?)
It was working fine before.
I did read a post about something similar at iMac waking up on its own
I followed Linc Davis' Terminal Instructions and pasted Terminal results.
Does anyone -- Linc Davis are you there? -- Know what's going on and how I can fix it???
Thanks for help!!

Thanks for the links Eric. They did help.
After a lot of research and testing different things with my set up, I have gotten the behavior to stop. I think I narrowed the issue down to my MacMini being connected to my newertech ministack max which I have an external drive, external usb hub, and external optical drive. I had it connected via Firewire port and I think it got loose. I was checking all my connections and it felt loose when I removed it. After all the testing, I left it disconnected via firewire, because it has to be connected via usb for the optical drive.
Funny thing for me is that it was causing the MacMini to wake up even when the ministack main power was Off! I guess it kept checking it or something via the firewire. Off or On the usb connection doesn't seem to cause this. It might have been because it was so loose, because it seemed to not do it when I made sure it was nice and snug. But, I removed it because I don't know how it got loose and it really isn't needed. the usb 3 connection is fast enough for me.
Thanks. Maybe this information will help another user...someday!
