Trackpad/Sleep/iCal Issue

I have the "intermittent trackpad issue" when iCal is running and in front, and my powerbooks goes to sleep. When I wake it up (sometimes), I have super-poor control of the pointer. Resetting it ("placing your entire palm directly onto the whole trackpad for 3 to 4 seconds, and then remove your hand from the trackpad in one smooth motion.") works to resolve the problem, but dosen't fix it.

If the problem is only at one location, I would think that there is some sort of interference (cordless phones, etc).

Mac Pro with Dell UP2414Q Sleep Wake Issue

Hi,
I have *two* Dell UP2414Q displays connected to a new Mac Pro, both using Display Port 1.2 (MST) setting in order to get 4K @ 60Hz.
Works fine. Except Google Chrome which is really lame at redrawing all these pixels when you scroll up/down.
The issue is: when the displays go to sleep for a longer period of time (actually it's probably when the Mac Pro itself has gone to sleep) and I wake the system up, the Dells sometimes won't wake up!
And if I start fiddling with the display buttons I will get a half image (left half of the screen). Same problem on each display except sometime it's the first one that doesn't wake up, sometimes it's the second one and sometimes it's both. Unfortunately the situation where they both wake up is extremely rare
Has anyone else had similar troubles?
Note: I have had similar sleep wake issues with just one UP2414Q connected.
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 (of course).
I'm also having a 3rd smaller display connected though a DVI adapter. That one wakes up 100% of the time. I previously had 3 of these and they did always wake up all 3 without issues.
-Francois.

I have this issue with the UP2414Q monitor and my new Mac Pro . . . . . and then some.
I started by losing the right half of the screen on wake up. After about two months of use, my monitor has developed a fault where both sides of the monitor are displayed but at seemingly very different calibrations. The left half is contrasty and the right half seems to be correctly matched to my working profile. This is using the display port connections. HDMI doesn't have this problem but it also won't run at 60Hz, which was an important factor in my choice of this monitor.
At this point I contacted both Apple and Dell. Although I have had quite a few different Apple support staff over a period of a week or so, they did keep good notes, were very patent and seemed to take a genuine interest into trouble shooting it. I cannot say the same for Dell. At first they did ask questions and did the right thing by sending a replacement. It worked fine on display port, then on HDMI but when I connected it back to display port the split screen problem occurred on the brand new replacement one too. After a day of fiddling with connections it went back to displaying correctly with all connections and has not reverted but it does now have the dead right halve on wakeup more frequently than before. I reconnected the original monitor but that has the split screen problem and I can't find a way of getting it to go away. It is unusable.
This incident with the replacement monitor was five days ago. In that time I have tried to contact Dell support by the original e-mail of the technician that initially helped and by phone, through the support number. The email gets the repeated response "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. I have left for the day, hence my reply will be delay". It happens in the mooring or the afternoon. A phone call to Dell's support number always starts with a promise to be transferred to the technician dealing with my case and, without fail ends by me being left on hold indefinitely with a terrible one minute audio loop followed by a repeated promise of the next available agent. I once waited over 30 minutes, just to test it. I live in Australia but this was clearly an international call centre. Dell obviously have no intention of dealing with my case. They will have to talk soon though because I still have an extra one of their monitors.
Unless there is a firmware update for this monitor, I would strongly advise against buying one for a Mac, or any Dell product for that matter.

How i get by with the sleep, pause issue after 1.0.2 update

ok. i'm sure you guys are aware of the ipod sleeping/pausing issue after updating your ipod to 1.0.2. my ipod will pause whenever it is in the jensen dock station and the green battery indicator shows up. whenever i use the dock or remote to unpause the song, a few seconds later, it pauses again. so instead of using the dock or remote to play, unpause, whatever, i connect the ipod to the dock and use the wheel to navigate and 'only' use the play/pause button on the ipod itself to kick off the playing of music. if i go back to the remote, the ipod pauses. if i only use the menu and play/pause button on the wheel, my songs do not pause. it sure was nice using the remote before 1.0.2. i mean, it did come with the dock for my remoting pleasure but alas, i shall wait on the next update. hope this helps someone.

I will have to try that... I took my iPod to work today and plugged it into my JBL docking station and it was skipping. I did notice it seemed to go to sleep more often when I used the remote... There's a whole other forum on this maybe you could check out too. But it's really annoying and I hope Apple comes out with a fix soon! I will definitely try to use the iPod wheel tomorrow and not the remote.

U2415, DaisyChain sleep/wakeup issue

I recently bought 2 U2415 monitors, manufactured in Dec 2014 and daisy chained them to my laptop. I can't get them to respond after waking my laptop from sleep mode. There have been many posts on this display port sleep/wakeup issue, wasn't sure if it was affecting all monitors, or if its a cable issue, or its a display firmware issue. I tried with different laptops and it's the same issue. I am currently using the stock cable provided by Dell.

What are the 20 digit serial numbers?

Connecting external NEC PA271W via Displayport cable to MBPr has sleep/wake issues

I am experiencing strange sleep/wake issues after connecting my NEC PA271W 27'' external monitor via a mini-displayport to displayport cable to my MBPr.
Waking up from sleep mode, the resolution of my monitor would be set to 1440x768 instead of the proper 2560x1440 and I always have to go to system settings to get it right.
NEC claims this may be due to cable issues and Apple using a "wrong" mini displayport standard but I have tried 4 different cable manufacturers and this is just strange.
Anybody else experiencing similar issues?

How do I migrate from one user to another to resolve sleep/permissions issues?

My MacBook Pro's been having several issues, mainly with waking from sleep. I've tried Repairing Permissions, Repair Disk, running tools like OnyX and Drive Genius, but they can't find any issues. I checked the Console log, and there was some sort of denial from displaying the login window after I woke up from sleep.
Initially I thought this had to do with some of my peripherals being plugged in when I already had the lid closed; the Mac would wake up, not realize the lid was closed, and never go back to sleep. Nothing--keyboard or trackpad touches--would wake the machine up. I'd have to hard reset by holding the Power button on.
I had an Apple Genius suggest that I create a new user and test it out with the (same) default sleep settings as the buggy user account. It wakes up from sleep lightning fast, and has thus far never had any issues.
I'm leaning toward sticking with this new user and migrating over my things bit by bit, to try and avoid potential permissions issues. But since I don't know where the source of this sleep problem lies, how should I go about it?
I've read through Pondini's Transfer Guide here http://pondini.org/OSX/Transfer.html, but I'm just wondering where people would start, knowing that the machine has had permissions issues with some files. (The permissions issues, btw, I believe were caused by a mangled Time Machine restore. I replaced my internal HD with another one, but the Time Machine/Migration Assistant restore wasn't complete. I did it a second time from within the user account that got created, then tried to delete the malformed one and rename the complete one, but that's when the issues started.)

I wasn't intending to move the entire home folder, rather, moving things like what's inside my Documents folder in chunks.
From what I read, tracking down the origin of sleep/wake problems on a computer is notoriously hard, especially if Disk Utility and similar tools don't give any clues during Repair Disk or Repair Permissions. Creating the new user seemed to help, but I don't know why that alone would "fix" anything, so I haven't moved any files as of yet nor done anything with the new user account.
Trying to move the things from my Library folder to my desktop also seems a bit risky; it's hidden in Lion and Mountain Lion because a lot of system files are there, right? Wouldn't moving them cause problems, not just help me find what file/folder (if any) could be the culprit?

MAC Mini late 2014 Sleep Wake issue

I just bought a MAC Mini late 2014 version with Yosemite pre-installed, and got a similar sleep wake problem.
It's connected to an ASUS IPS 27" screen using HDMI interface. When the Mac goes to sleep after 15 min, or when I press the button to force it to sleep.
If you type on the keyboard and the trackpad within 1 minute (before the screen also goes to sleep because of no HDMI signal), then the wake up will work.
If you wait till the screen goes to sleep also, then no matter how hard you pound on the keyboard or on the track pad, the MAC will not wake up.
The only way to wake it up is to power off the screen, then power it on again. Then type on the keyboard or move your track pad while doing that.
This is really annoying. I have to set to "Never" turn the display off to avoid this issue.
Called the Apple tech support who recommended I set up the energy saver like this below. But still could not fix the issue.
He told me to bring the Mac mini back to the shop to check.
I doubt it's a hardware issue. My theory is that this could be a software bug that somehow
the setting of "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is not in effect even if you turned it on in the power saver preference.
So, when the computer goes to sleep, there is no more HDMI signal, then the screen also goes to sleep.
And if "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is not in effect, then even if you type on the keyboard, the computer will not wake up as the screen is asleep. The screen will not wake up as no HDMI signal comes from the computer.
This turns into a viscious cycle, or a deadlock. Nobody is waking up.
This is simple logic. I don't know why systems are designed to work like that. Just too annoying....
I hope apple can fix this software bug asap.
I did try to convert my HDMI cable to min-display port and try to plug that into the thunderbolt port to see if it helps.
The same issue appears. The only difference is, with the HDMI port, once I am able to wake up the computer by power cycling my screen, i will see that I am prompted with a login screen, even if I set up my computer to auto login.
but when I use the display port, when I managed to wake up the MAC, it bypasses the login screen.

Some updates on this. I tried two other 22" screen. Both of the seems to be working fine with sleep wake, but takes between 40 sec to one min to wake up after you typed something.
Topcon hdmi 22" screen
17 sec after keystrokes to turn wake screen
40 sec to wake computer
AOC hdmi 22" screen
19 sec after keystrokes to turn wake screen
38 sec to wake computer
I tried to switch to two other HDMI cables to see if it'll improve the situation of my original ASUS VX279 IPS HDMI screen.
But it didn't. Still never wakes up after it the MAC goes to sleep until you power cycle the screen.
I guess there is some hardware compatibility issue here.
Let me bring my mac mini to the shop to see if a replacement will help.

Help ! trackpad or freezing issue.

I have a friend's powerbook g4 with an initial sleep issue I was able to resolve based on a bad hard drive. Now when reformating a new hard drive it either freezes at the point that it ask for language selections or the trackpad is just not responding in which you can't tell either way. Tried operating the keys only to select but no luck. So what's next ?

Hi, scorpio. Is the new hard drive installed in the Powerbook, and are you starting up from an OS installer CD or DVD to format it? If you're starting up from something else — an external hard drive, perhaps — try formatting the HD after starting up from your latest OS X installer disc. If the problem also occurs under those circumstances, there's a hardware fault of some kind in the Powerbook. Have you made sure the jumpers on the new drive are set to Master?
If the new drive is in an external enclosure, and you're starting up from the internal drive in the Powerbook to format it, try starting up from an OS installer CD instead. If that works OK, it will point to the internal drive as the source of your problem. That wouldn't be at all surprising, considering that you think the drive is bad.
If you've been starting up from an installer disc all along, check the disc for surface dirt or damage.

2014 MacPro External Sleep/Wake issue

It goes without saying the new MacPro requires users to invest in external drives as a means to manage large media (synonymous with MacPro brawn).
That said, I've yet to resolve an issue where putting the MacPro to sleep will not wake the external drives when waking. I was hopeful this would have been resolved when upgrading to Yosemite, but this did not happen. As it stands, I shut down the whole rig and have locked out all options to sleep the machine and/or any external media.
It's a bit inconvenient, but given the MacPro boots in twelve seconds, It's bearable.
Example:
• Any software should not be running. iPhoto or any programs sourcing the external drives cannot survive a sleep cycle.
• Choose Sleep from the Apple menu.
• Lights go off on external drive, followed by the cooling fan ~40 seconds later.
• Wake the MacPro [hitting the anykey]
• Drives appear "mounted" on the desktop, but lights & fan for external case remain dormant.
• DiskUtility cannot wake or unmount/eject volumes/device.
• Only initiating the shutdown command will the drives wake - just to shut down the MacPro.
My question is: If the system can wake the external drive as part of the shut-down process, why can it not do so for the wake process?
External Drive Case: Vantec NexStar MX
Connection Type: USB 3
Drives inclosed: 2 (3TB total)

So while still having no solution I've tried several things to solve the problem though:
I've read in some forums that dropbox might have been an issue. Uninstalled it, problem persisted.
I've also unpluged each USB cable one after the other to see if any of the USB devices caused the Problem. No result. My iMac persistantly woke up from sleep even with no USB device connected at all.
Logs show the following on each occasion:
Wake reasion: XHC1 (which apparently is USB)
The USB device BRCM20702 Hub (Port 8 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
The USB device Bluetooth USB Host Controller (Port 3 of Hub at 0x14800000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
Systemprofile tells us that:
0x14000000 i couldn't clearly identify but
0x148000000 should be "BRCM20702 Hub
Conclusion:
As no EXTERNAL USB Device caused the iMac to wake up it must either be a driver failure or someting similar within the machine or some bluetooth device. The latter is less likely as it's the third of three wake reason provided by the console.
I do not have any wired keyboard or mouse so I can't verify wether Apples wireless Keyboard & Trackpad could be an issue.

I have the same issue with a MBP from mid 2011 and 500GB SSD drive.
Thought maybe it was caused by dropbox, google drive, twitter, clocks or logmein, but even after clsoing all of these and putting it to sleep it still happens.
Found this on another site so please let me know if this is useful. I haven't tried any of this but will soon.

Sleep/Wake issue with 5K Retina

I Have just purchased an Apple iMac 5K Retina, 4Ghz and 16 GB of RAM. I am experiencing an intermittent warning, which suggests that the system has restarted from Sleep, for some reason. I have contacted Apple Service, who took over the system and gave it a thorough test. After the test and removing an external Disc, the problem seemed to have disappeared. However, this afternoon, it came back again. After closing the warning, the computer seems to operate as expected, with no obvious symptoms. i have originally been told that I can return the iMac if the error re-occurs, which it has. The system is not standard, so I probably would not get a replacement before Christmas, but having spent over £2000 on the equipment, I do not want a flawed product. I will also find the re-instatement to Factory settings a real ' ***'. Any advice from an expert would be much appreciated, before I ring Apple tomorrow. Should I try to return it or is it a trivial issue?

So while still having no solution I've tried several things to solve the problem though:
I've read in some forums that dropbox might have been an issue. Uninstalled it, problem persisted.
I've also unpluged each USB cable one after the other to see if any of the USB devices caused the Problem. No result. My iMac persistantly woke up from sleep even with no USB device connected at all.

Wake reasion: XHC1 (which apparently is USB)
The USB device BRCM20702 Hub (Port 8 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
The USB device Bluetooth USB Host Controller (Port 3 of Hub at 0x14800000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
Systemprofile tells us that:
0x14000000 i couldn't clearly identify but
0x148000000 should be "BRCM20702 Hub
Conclusion:
As no EXTERNAL USB Device caused the iMac to wake up it must either be a driver failure or someting similar within the machine or some bluetooth device. The latter is less likely as it's the third of three wake reason provided by the console.
I do not have any wired keyboard or mouse so I can't verify wether Apples wireless Keyboard & Trackpad could be an issue.

RAM & sleep/wake issues

I just purchased a set of Mushkin Apple 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz SODIMM 9-9-9-24 (976647A) RAM for my mid 2011 27" iMac and everything ran great for a few days. I was able to sleep and wake the machine with no problems. Last night I was doing some graphic intensive work on my machine and when I had finished, the fans were still running high but I was going to bed so I put the machine to sleep. Normally the fans would stop at this point but they kept running. I assumed the machine was still hot so it was just cooling after sleeping.
The next morning the machine would not wake. I had to do a hard reset to get it to boot up again I tried resetting the SMC and PRAM but it still doesn't wake from sleep. Am I have issues with my RAM?
How can I check this?
Thank you.

Constant/Random Sleep/Wake issues

I'm on a new 17 inch MacBook Pro and I've been having problems ever since October with waking issues. Most of the features on the MBP work completely fine until I decide to close the lid and let the mac fall asleep.
One of the random issues I receive is the inability to wake from sleep.
I open the lid hoping the mac will start up as it should, but about 70% of the time the screen stays dark while I still hear the fans and machinery within it work.
I usually have to perform a hard restart by holding down the power button to get a fully functional macbook pro again...
The second issue occurs when I am actually ABLE to wake the Macbook Pro from sleep. The mouse turns horribly unsmooth and jumpy and programs seem to work slower than they normally should.
I experience a few other random problems in addition to these wake issues, but these are basically the main ones.
The only solution I have right now is holding down the power button and performing a full restart, risking closing and deleting all previous programs I was working with...
Can somebody show me a solution to this problem?
Would a clean re-install of Leopard help? I've tried it once before but more and more new problems keep showing up...
Anyways, I hope I can get help on this subject
Thanks

Same issue with my 17". The mouse problem is very annoying. If your screen does not turn on after it has fallen asleep, I push the Screen Brightness up Function key and after about a minute or less the screen makes all the sounds like you pushed the buttons or button all at once and resumes normal functionality. If you have the sluggish mouse, I just insert a wired mouse and it moves fine. As soon as I move my finger over the trackpad the sluggishness continues, but only on the trackpad.
I hope Apple has an Update for this issue soon it happens very frequently. As a matter of fact, right before I typed this message.

Yoga 2 Pro - Sleep mode issue

Hi All,
I've been experience troubles with issues ralated to sleeping.
Sometimes it just sleeps well.
Sometimes my Y2P sometimes won't go sleep(insomnia???). The screen goes off but the fan doesn't stop and the keyboard backlit doesn't go off. And whatever I do won't wake it up in this circumstance, for example hitting a key on the keyboard, hitting the power button, or touch the screen. I have to restart to enter the OS. (FYI VirtualBox may cause this problem but I was not running it. I don't even have it installed.)
And sometimes it does go sleeping and can be waken up, but during the sleep the fan doesn't stop and the machine becomes very hot. This seems to happen only under the power manager high performance mode but I'm not sure. Twice I just closed my laptop and went to bed. and left the poor Y2P baking-hot overnight. As a result, the battery capacity estimate in the power manager is now 'Normal'. I believe it was 'Excellent' or 'Good' when I first received it. (FYI the capacity is now 54760mWh.)
I really love this machine. Yellow issue is not a killer but the sleep problem does troubles me a lot. I'm not able to return it because I just passed the 15-day return period. Any suggestion to solve those problem, folks?

I have observed two related issues on my Yoga 2 Pro. In agreement with a later poster to this thread, it will occasionally shut down (or crash?) rather than sleep. This happens occasionally when I have a dozen apps up in a configuration that I'd really like to go back to rather than have to set up again. I'm guessing this issue, shutting down improperly, could be a problem getting an app or service to sleep properly, giving up, and dying. One of the reasons I upgraded to the Yoga 2 Pro is that my old Sony Vaio did this same thing and I assumed a new machine would have the quirks worked out. Perhaps it's a Windows problem, but still should be addressed.
I have also found several times that I will take my Yoga 2 Pro out of my bag after hours of sitting and the two lights indicating that it is running will be lit solid with the laptop hot to the touch. I have no idea why a machine would turn itself on with the lid closed, even if the power button is bumped (which is very unlikely with its small size in a padded bag). I'd love for anyone at Lenovo to address whether this issue is known, common, being looked at? It's terribly frustrating to "start" with the battery half depleted because it's been busy generating heat in a confined place.

Ical issues

I use google calendar which works great with my blackberry.
Ok here's my deal. I want to be able to have a work friend of mine subscibe to my google calendar in his ical but only see free/busy info. So I set gcal to only show free/busy. He subscribes but sees nothing. So its a problem.
The solution I had was this. Use gsync to sync my gcal with with my ical. Then publish ical to icalx. When I do this I unselect 'publish titles'. Then my friend subscribed to icalx and he sees blank boxes. So great it worked
Now syncing between ical and gcal has started being very glitchy. Double posts, not syncing etc...
So I need a new solution. I discovered google added caldav support. Did that and it works great. Its like a subscibed calendar that is read and write. No more glitchy syncing.
But I can't publish that to icalx. So I'm trying to see if I can, in ical, copy all of the events from my gcal-caldav calendar to another calendar that I can publish to icalx. I tried automator but I can't seem to make it work. I also found the folder where leopard stores all the .ics events and imported them into a new calendar but that takes a long time.
So in other words it would make my life easier If I could "sync" a subscibed calendar with a publishable calendar.
Any ideas.
And all this to make my life easier. Gosh!!
Thanks
