Turning off Mighty Mouse wakes computer from sleep

Two part issue:
After sleeping the computer I find that the "power down" on the Mighty Mouse causes the computer to awake!! Does anyone have a solution to this Mouse-killing problem?
I find no instruction about shutting the Mighty Mouse (MM) off when it is not in use (say for overnight). I do see references to relatively short battery life so I imagine that we should power-down the MM when possible. But, the MM appears to be engineered pretty cheaply and it appears that it may not survive many cycles of power up-down. Anyone with thoughts on this?

Bluetooth or USB devices won't wake up a portable running off of battery power. That probably doesn't help you, but I thought I'd note that. I don't think moving the switch actually triggers the wakeup. Of course you can't do that without holding it by the shell, which almost always senses a button press because of the design of the entire shell as right or left buttons.
If you leave your mouse powered-on for a while, it should eventually go into standby mode with reduced power consumption. I use rechargeable batteries, so I don't worry too much about battery life. The batteries lasts several weeks before I need to recharge them and I can keep a charged set handy.
So I take it you're using the mouse to select going to sleep in the pull-down menu and then try turning off the mouse. At least with a portable I can turn the mouse off first then either use the trackpad to put it to sleep or just close the lid.

Mouse wakes computer from sleep

Any time I close the lid on my MacBook Pro, and accidentally hit my mouse, it wakes the computer from sleep. How can I stop this? There is no "mouse" wake option in Energy Saver, so where can I turn it off?

Check under *Keyboard & Mouse* in preferences. Mine is a wireless bluetooth mighty mouse and it's under Bluetooth I don't have a USB mouse but from this article there may not be a switch for turning the wake up off.

USB Mouse wakes X230 from sleep

Good morning!
I've been having the problem of my new X230 waking from sleep for seemingly no reason. Thanks to responses here, I have narrowed it down to the USB mouse, I think. I would appreciate it if someone could give me info on the steps to take to stop this behavior.
I have set the mouse properties NOT to wake the computer and also changed it in the power management, but the behavior still happens. Do I need a complete restert to have these settings take effect? Is there anything else to try - a driver or using a different USB port? Right now if I put the computer to sleep and turn off the mouse it is fine - if I turn the mouse on and move it before I wake the computer - the mouse movement wakes it.
This is a brand new X230, Win 7.
Thanks!
Lily

Mouse waking computer from sleep

I'm using a wireless USB Logitech mouse with my MacBook. Moving the mouse wakes the computer from sleep and I would like to disable this function. Is there a way to change the setting so the computer requires a keystroke to wake it?
Thanks.

I'd rather not buy a new mouse if I don't have to. I found this link http://www.macyourself.com/2008/08/28/prevent-accidental-wake-ups-when-an-apple- laptops-lid-is-opened/ that shows how to disable the lid wake function in terminal. Is there a mouse wake disable code in terminal?

T400 - Fn Key wakes computer from sleep.

So, is it normal that by pressing Fn Key + any other key (on the keyboard) - computer wakes up from sleep??
Or is something wrong with the OS?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Actually, the Fn key alone should wake the machine from Sleep/Standby.
Nothing wrong with the OS.
Regards.

Wake computer from sleep & sync iDisk?

I'm wanting to wake my computer from sleep & sync my iDisk at a set time in the day. Does anyone know if it would be possible, & if so how?
I thought if it could be done with AppleScript (wake & sync the iDisk) I could set iCal to run the script at a set time while sleeping which would wake the computer & run the script.

Your script will not run while the machine is idle, so you have to have some other process effect the wake up. This can be scheduled through System Preferences -> Energy Saver, or through the command line pmset, but you can't just have your AppleScript running in the background and expect the machine to wake on its own.
So you need to get a script to run your backup, and some other process (e.g. iCal) to start that script at the appropriate time.

Removing USB wakes computer from sleep.

I just bought a new monitor to use with my PowerBook. The monitor is a Dell with built in USB plugs. The problem is that when i put the computer to sleep, the monitor(like almost all monitors) goes in to a "power-save" mode (where it doesnt display anything on the screen and the power LED turns orange, wakes when mouse is shaken) And when it does this, it stops giving power to the USB plugs built into it and instatly wakes the computer as if i had pulled out a plug. Is there a way to keep the PowerBook from waking if a USB plug is removed/looses power? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot detect Mighty mouse after waken from Sleep

If i wake my book from sleep, the bluetooth app will not be able to detect the might mouse. And I also cannot switch off the blue tooth app at that time. I was trying to restart the bluetooth assistant but it fails.
Any of you has such problem ?

all I can say is, you are not alone. I've got the same problem just as many other with my BT Mighty Mouse and BT Keyboard.

Wake computer from sleep automatically to run applescript

Hey guys, here's a problem for you to figure out. I just recently learned some very basic terms for applescript so I figured I'd make an alarm clock to wake me up. I'm looking for some kind of code or program that can wake up the computer just like the Schedule in Energy Saver does, but in a more flexible way.
This is the code I use for the alarm clock;
set volume 0
tell application "Finder"
activate
open internet location file "lightningstream.surfernetwork.com/.webloc" of folder "Site Shortcuts" of folder "Desktop" of folder "Nick" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
delay 15
set volume 1
delay 0.25
set volume 1.5
delay 0.25
set volume 2
delay 0.25
set volume 2.5
delay 0.25
set volume 3
delay 0.25
set volume 3.5
delay 0.25
set volume 4
delay 0.25
delay 4
set volume 2
So this sets the volume to 0, opens up a radio stream, then increases the volume and lowers it. On weekdays this works without a problem because i set the Schedule in Energy Saver to wake the computer on Weekdays at 5:51 AM and then have iCal run the applescript at 5:55 AM. But if i wanted to wake up later in the day on the weekend then I would have to wake the computer to get the script to run.
I'm looking for some kind of code or program that can wake up the computer just like the Schedule in Energy Saver does, but in a more flexible way.
Now I realize that there is a sleep and a doze. Usually my computer is in doze because I have a security camera program that runs on it's own schedule. Eventually that shuts off and my Mac sleeps. So i need some way to tell the computer to wake at a specific time from sleep with me having to manually wake it. Any ideas?

If you're comfortable with the command-line environment (i.e. Terminal.app) you can use the "pmset" command to schedule individual, non-repeating sleep or wake events.
For example:
sudo pmset schedule wake "07/04/11 20:00:00"
Will wake a sleeping mac at 10AM on July 4th 2011. (And only at that date and time, not any other time.)
For more info on "pmset", execute "man pmset" at the command line.
Why Apple doesn't build a more flexible scheduling function into the Energy Saver sleep-scheduler (or better yet, right into iCal) I don't know, but the low-level functionality is already easily accessible, right there in the pmset command.
Depending on your needs, you could write an Applescript or even a fully-fledged application program as a graphical front end to the "pmset" command-line utility. For example, you might use iCal's ability to hand off event data to Applescript as follows:
- Create a schedule of sleep & wake events in an iCal Calendar.
- Use Applescript to grab all of those events and parse their date/time/wake/sleep info into a table.
- Spit that data into a shell script that runs a separate "pmset" command for each event.
To get really fancy, your application could also read, or perhaps even learn to directly write to, the
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist file, which stores a human-readable list of scheduled sleep / wake events.

Unix command to require password to wake computer from sleep or screensaver

Yo folks,
Just as the subject says, is there a Unix command we can send that turns on the option to require password when the computer wakes from sleep or screensaver...which is the first option in System Preferences --> Security?
I looked through the systemsetup commands and didn't find anything.
Thanks!

Run the following AppleScript:
set items_1 to items -18 thru -2 of (do shell script "ifconfig en0 ether")
set items_2 to ""
repeat with this_item in items_1
if this_item is greater than ":" then
set items_2 to items_2 & this_item
end if
end repeat
set the_path to "defaults read ByHost/com.apple.screensaver." & items_2
set old_string to do shell script the_path
set new_string to (items 1 thru 6 of old_string) & "askForPassword = 1;" & (items 27 thru -1 of old_string) as string
do shell script "defaults write ByHost/com.apple.screensaver." & items_2 & " '" & new_string & "'"
The necessary plist key is part of an array, and is in a file which has the computer's Ethernet address in its file name, so the script needs to handle both tasks. This change will not show up in the GUI until the account logs out and back in.

Can Apple TV wake computer from sleep?

I don't think this is possible unfortunately, but maybe someone else knows better. It seems like a no-brainer to me, so Im not sure why Apple hasn't implemented this feature. It's a TOTAL waste of energy to have my Mac Pro awake all the time just so I can have immediate access to all my Apple TV content (which is obviously streamed from the Mac Pro).
Yes, I know I can walk to the computer each time I want to use Apple TV and wake it up manually, but it is at the other side of the house and to do this each time me or a member of my family wants to watch something on Apple TV, well it almost ruins the whole convenience of the product.

Your tv won't wake your mac I'm afraid.
It may seem like a waste of energy to you not allowing your mac to sleep, however constantly waking up your mac (as is very likely when used in conjunction with a tv) is likely to cause unnecessary wear to your hard drives within it and may be more costly to you in the long run than leaving it awake.

Bluetooth "wake computer from sleep" function always on?

Does anyone know if the "allow bluetooth device to wake this computer" option is designed to be always on even when bluetooth is OFF? I have noticed my computer wake unexpectedly due to a bluetooth signal in the area even though bluetooth was off. The option was selected in the preferences but I assumed when bluetooth is off none of the function are on. Thanks to anyone who could clarify this.

I think it applies to both, and I surmise it's because some people have Bluetooth KBs & Mice that need to wake the computer up.

Should I turn off or put my computer to sleep?

Yeah, the subject covers it all. I heard your mac runs faster if you put it to sleep, but your battery life is longer if you turn it off. What's what?
What should I do?

Stallion,
Well, power draw during sleep is next to nothing. We're talking something like 1 or 2% in 24 hours. When pushed, my MBP can eat up more than that in less than a minute, on battery. In other words, what you would gain by shutting down wouldn't amount to much.
Sleep it, unless you have a specific need to shut it down.
