TS2972 Apple tv sleeps when computer sleeps. What to do

The TV disconnects from Apple TV sharing when computer sleeps. What to do?

George, Your trouble sounds just like mine. You can read my thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4204561?start=0&tstart=0, but in summary:
Itunes and the Apple TV exchange messages about once per minute. If any wifi interference stops the message-and-reply, iTunes closes the home sharing connection. Other services are usually fine.
I solved my problems by wiring the ATV and computer. (Wiring either alone didn't work.) Home Sharing is now rock solid and works exactly as advertised. No drop-outs during play. The iTunes library is always available on ATV - I never have to restart home sharing or iTunes or the ATV. If a computer or ATV restarts, they pair up automatically.
Not everyone can wire, I know. But it worked for me. Test it if you can.

Since I upgraded to Maverick when computer sleeps it will not wake up but must be restarted? Also password to icloud is never saved?

I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved. Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters. Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long

PPPoE Still Disconnects When Computer Sleeps

With 10.9.2 and again with 10.9.3, PPPoE disconnects when computer sleeps. This didn't happen with OS 8.x, OS 9.x, OS X 10.2, 10.8.x, 10.9.0, or 10.9.1. System Preferences>Energy Saver is set for display and computer to sleep after about 12 minutes. I'd rather not set computer to never sleep. Please advise and correct for 10.9.4. Thank you.

I have the same issue. Also after wake-up connecting to PPPoE is a challenge, because it establishes only after 5-7 attemps (Authentication failed). I guess 10.9.3 update causes this.

HT3819 homesharing stops when computer sleeps. I already checked the "wake for access". What is wrong?

Homesharing stops when the computer sleeps. Already checked the " wake for access" and already changed the computer sleep to never.

I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

USB has no power when computer sleeps

When my computer goes into sleep mode, time machine cannot connect to my external HD because apparently the usb port goes to sleep along with the computer. Same thing happens when i plug my iphone to charge. I plug in my iphone, shows that it's charging, I put the computer to sleep, it stops charging instantly. I have two imac computers, same thing happens on both machines. Is there anyway to keep the power to the usb ports while the computer sleeps?

Hi there, Welcome to the Apple Support Forums. What I say is just my own opinion. We all work in many different ways.
I can't see any benefit to keeping a USB port fired up to keep a hard drive running, when the computer and Time Machine are both asleep. If nothing is happening or changing on your computer then there's not much point of keeping a Time Machine drive running. In addition, I wouldn't consider using a USB powered drive for something important like a backup system. USB powered devices can be pretty flakey.
Meanwhile, as far as a charger for an iPhone, this year at MacWorld SF, I bought a Griffin Simplifi dock. It also doubles as a memory card reader, and has two USB ports for thumb drives or whatever. It's got it's own AC power adapter so I don't worry about the computer going to sleep or even shutting it down.
Amazon has the Simplify device for $42 w/free shipping. I leave my iPhone in the dock whenever I'm around the office. I think I paid around $70 at the show and don't regret it a bit.
Apple also provided you with a small square AC power adapter for a USB cable to connect to charge your iPhone (at least they did with mine). But I really like having the dock sitting just in front of my Mac.

Airport connection dropping off when computer sleeps

Starting with the latest 10.4.8 update my airport connection drops when the computer goes to sleep. No amount of configuring will get the computer to recognize my airport. Turning off the power to the airport, waiting, and re-connecting does no good. The only way to get wireless is to restart. Once restarted the airport connection is re-established without any configuration and continues to be fine until the computer goes to sleep. Hard wiring ethernet works at all times without problems.

thanks,
i read the doc, looked in the system prefs where my re-connect was set to "preferred" and there was only one wpa network listed. i deleted it from the list then re-added per the apple document. will see if this works.
in my own mind i don't think this is the solution but am keeping an open mind. the weird thing about my situation is that after the computer sleeps there are no available networks under the airport menu. i know in fact there are 4-6 in my area. after restarting the 4-6, including mine, networks are all there and my network has been connected to.

I have a 2Big Quadra USB 3.0 6T Raid external drive ,that has it's own power, drops out of the Finder when the computer goes to sleep. It is connected directly to the Imac and not to a hub. Only way to have it stay is to NEVER Sleep

Check your Energy Saver preferences. Uncheck the option to put drives to sleep when possible. See if that helps.

MacBook Pro doesn't always go to sleep when closing. What can be done?

When closing the lid the Pro doesn't go to sleep on random occasions. This just became a problem. I can plug and unplug the power and it goes to sleep. The sleep mode will also put it to sleep. What can I do?

For:
"Responding to display lid opening and closing on portable Macs".
Rest SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
Best.

G-raid drives eject "improperly" when computer sleeps

I've had this problem off and on over the years, but it seems to have come back recently with the installation of Yosemite.
I have a Macbook Pro and a Thunderbolt display. The drives are attached to the firewire port on the computer.

Hey,
When your computer goes to sleep it usually closes the usb connections because they draw power. Try going into energy saver and check the box next to "prevent computer from automatically sleeping when display is off" I hope that helps.

Dropping signal when computer sleeps

I am having trouble with the wireless network dropping off every time the computer sleeps. Each time my iMac sleeps from inactivity when I start it up again I get a disconnect message and have to go through diagnostics to get the airport extreme to run again and then everything is fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Eric

I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. Even using signals in my Preferred Networks list after it sleeps it drops the connection and a re-start is the only way around the problem.
Any advice appreciated.

Mail goes offline when computer sleeps.... can I prevent this

I searched and couldn't seem to find an answer for this. When my wife checks her mail in the morning after the computer sleepsshe gets the triangle with the exclamation point.
She will click go online and then she can check the mail.
It seems like when the computer sleeps it loses the internet connection and mail does not realize it has recconected when the computer is waked.
Doesn't do it with mine when but I use wireless.
Not sure if it is a router issue or not, and if so any idea how to fin it.
Thank you
Mike

Try this. Upon waking the computer from sleep. Wait about 20 seconds before doing any network activity like Mail or Safari. Then try it.
When a computer goes to sleep, to the rest of the world, it is the same as being turned off. It's Internet connection is disconnected. It takes a few seconds to re-establish the connection.

Does wifi sleep when iPad sleeps?

If you leave wifi on and you put your ipad to sleep, does wifi power down -- or does it continue to drain battery?
In other words, am I correct in assuming that if I want to cut down on battery use, I should turn wifi off every time I put the pad to sleep?
(I've got the iPad 3G, but use it in airplane mode with wifi turned on... Unless I put it to sleep in which case I turn wifi off... Am I doing all of this unnecessarily?)

I have the 3G ipad but only use wifi, haven't activated a data plan. I notice that my ipad handles wifi unlike any of my other devices. They, imac, MB Pro ipod touch, iphone, drop their wifi when in sleep but the ipad never drops it. I check this by going into Airport utility on my mac, I use an Airport Extreme base station that all my devices connect to by wifi. Airport Utility has an Advanced section that shows all wireless devices connected to the network and their signal strength, noise and transmission rate. My ipad is always showing as connected, asleep or not. The other devices will drop out of the displayed graph when they go into sleep but not the ipad. So however wifi is implemented on the ipad it's very different from all the other devices. This may be one reason why I've never had the issue of the ipad losing its wifi when coming out of sleep. Actually the only wifi problem I've ever had is that every now and then the wifi antenna symbol will completely disappear triggering an alert that says connecting for a few seconds when the antenna reappears and the connection is made again. Weird but it happens very infrequently.

Experiencing Kernel Panic when computer sleeps???

I have a late 2013 MBP... I recently updated my OS to 10.9.2 Immediately after updating my computer began experiencing kernel panics when it would sleep for various amounts of time (couldn't recognize a real pattern). After a few days the problem seemed to happen more frequently and eventually happened everytime the computer went to sleep. I contacted Apple Support and they have deduced that it is a hardware issue (doesn't make sense to me since it only started happening after a software update?). I did install an aftermarket SSD, so I thought perhaps that was the problem, so I installed a new one... to no avail, still experiencing the same problem. I've come up with a temporary solution... I simply have my computers settings adjusted so that my computer does not sleep. This obviously has not solved my problem, but is a temporary fix. Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on???? Thanks in advance!

The version of virtual box I have on my system may not be the most absolute current up to date, but it is certainly the mac os version. Besides, virtual box wasn't running. It's just a freebie alternative to Parallels allowing me to run windows. But again, unless I'm doing something in windows, virtual box isn't even fired up. It wasn't last night when I put the system to sleep.
How do I find the hardware test that came with my system? Is it on the install dvd? What's it called?
THANKS!!

Itunes stops when computer sleeps

Before updating both iTunes (v11) and Apple TV (v2) I could stream videos fine using Home Sharing when the computer was asleep. Now iTunes appears to lose its connection as soon as the iMac goes into sleep mode. I have to awaken the computer every time this happens, and sometimes I need to reconnect the Apple TV to Home Sharing for it to work again.
Any suggestions?

For the time, that is precisely what I'm doing. With previous versions I didn't have to remember to wake the computer to use Apple TV to watch videos or TV shows as the connection was always there. Now I do and its annoying.
Other than this issue, iTunes 11 has been a major improvement.

Battery problem when computer sleeps

Hi, I have Lenovo S12 , for about six months.
I use the battery which came with the computer.
It worked well till this problem : when the computer goes to sleep, even if the battery is full, it hibernates after really short time.
When I turn it on, it says that Windows didn't shut down properly due to low battery, but when it starts, it shows that the battery is full, and it behaves normally, I really can use it for about 3 hours.
Please help, what can I do??

Have you got anything still running e.g. wifi, email fetching, location services etc ? There are tips on this page for maximising battery life between charges : http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
