Unplugging USB ends standby mode

Hi folks,
I have a T500, and often use a USB mouse with it. My problem is, when I shut the lid (and it goes into standby mode), later if I unplug the mouse, say to pack the computer up to go elsewhere, it brings it out of standby mode.
How do I keep the USB port from influencing standby state?

sudo pmset -a hibernate mode 25 , did the trick, usb powers down in hibernation mode, still able te awake the mini with bluetooth mice and keybord.

Usb power off while sleep, let active speakers go in standby mode

is there a way to shut down power to the usb out while the mini sleeps, so my Kef X300a speakers will go to standby mode?
or is there an alternative way regarding the x300a speakers.

HT202124 Is plug in a USB wireless receiver (Logitech Unifying Receiver) prevents Macbook Pro Retina going to standby mode?

As the title implies, is this prevent Macbook Pro Retina (Mid 2014) from going to standby mode? It's not convenience to unplug the wireless receiver every time I don't use the notebook though.

That kind of panic can be caused by an adapter for an external display that isn't connected to anything. See this thread.
There are also reports that the panic may be triggered by waking an external display from sleep. To test that theory, open the Energy Saver preference pane and click the lock icon to unlock the settings, if necessary. Move the Display sleep slider all the way to the Never position on the right. See whether there's any change.

Satellite A300-1NO - Wakes up from standby mode

Hi all!
I have got a Satellite A300-1NO with Win XP pro.
The problem is, that the laptop wakes up from standby mode automatically after about 5 minutes.
I tried to unplug all cables (LAN, usb, etc) but the power plug, but it's the same result.
So what can cause this? What should I try?
thanks.

You should disable the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS and Windows.
Check the BIOS for this option!
You can disable this feature in Windows if you right click on the network card > properties > advanced > wake on LAN
I hope it works for you.

Standby Mode - Does it work on Late 2012 MacBook Pro (non-Retina)

I have read many articles today and I remain a little confused. I have seen the Apple discussion at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4392 regarding "Standby Mode", but I appear to have limited progress.
Can the community verify if "Standby Mode" (controlled by pmset) be used on a late 2012 MacBook Pro. This is a model without the Retina display, however, when I do pmset -g... I do see standby in the display (as seen below) which implies it should be active.
When I look at pmset -g I do see the standby line item, but if I set to "1", the unit still appears to not want to enter true hibernation. I have hibernationmode set to 3 so that true hibernation only enables after the standbydelay period that is defined. Obviously, if I set hibernationmode to 25, a true hibernate starts immediately, but I don't really want that, I am looking for the delay function that standby enables.
I have reset the SMC and currently have the following pmset conditions (modified for testing)
Battery Power:

Also, an auxilary question. Can anyone explain the autopoweroff and autopoweroffdelay settings? They appear to undocumented in manpages and can not locate any info on the web.

Thanks for the input Michael.
The thing that started this, is the new Late 2012 MacBook Pro simply uses much more power in "sleep" mode than what I experienced on my old Late 2007 White MacBook. Every night, the "sleep" mode would result in almost a drain of the battery and the result is that I was unneccessary cycling the battery. With no OS revisions to address this, I have changed the defaults to enable hibernate for both the charging and battery mode.
The strange thing about this is that even to get a true hibernation in battery mode I have to unplug all USB devices or the device will not hybernate. Again, never had to do this on the old White MacBook and the power usage at night was very small.
This works for now, but I think a device should sleep with very little (less than 4%) power loss when power is disabled.
Thanks again for the input. Here are the current settings.

I tried to restore my iPod Touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. on the screen it shows the usb end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it. Is it broken?

I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation and now it won't sync to itunes. On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
I have turned it off and on, held the off button down and the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen. Have I broken it?
Please help.

It means the device is in recovery mode. You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

Which is good: ejecting or standby mode for EHD's?

After a session at the computer, I have this dilemna: how to close down the session. At this present moment of time, I have a thunderbolt, a 2TB FW LaCie, and three Seagate [2 USB] EHD's all connected to my Mac. All the three Seagate drives have been allocated backup roles via CCC and TM.
In this scenario, what should be the manner of my quitting a session at the computer? Will keeping the EHD's in a standby mode for prolonged periods damage them?
Also, I would like to know what is the difference between mounting/unmounting of a drive and ejection of drive?

No it should go into standby without disconnecting it.
That is correct, if it is disconnected then CCC will not backup. If you are using the same drive for editing and CCC, then you will need to test it to see if CCC will bring it backup from standby. If not, then maybe that is not a good combination of uses for one drive.
somanna wrote:
My LaCie has a power switch. Is it okay to directly switch it off or do I have to first click upon its desktop icon and eject it? But if I switch off its power, then will CCC automatically start up the power and at its set time backup the data on this Lacie to its concerned backup drive, a Seagate?
No you should first Eject it before Switching it off.
No CCC will not turn it back on.
No
somanna wrote:
The 2 other Seagate drives also have got some functions to do regarding backups. These Seagate drives have no power switches. Should I just eject these drives and keep their power cables on or do I have to also have to remove their power supply cables from the drives after they are ejected.
As with any automated backup, the drive(s) must be connected and powered on in order for the automated backup to take place.
somanna wrote:
Further guidance and instructions in these matters will be highly appreciated.
While I also get a little anal about backup, I do like to save power whenever I can.
To be honest, I would probably only use the Thunderbolt drive for editing and keep one other drive online to back it up. Then rotate the other drives in and out on a daily or weekly basis keeping them off line, off site or at least in a firesafe.
Keep at least one or two aces up your sleeve! Heck' a single lighting strike, power surge or simple mistake could take out everything in the blink of an eye if it's all hooked together and running.

FireWire vs USB at hibernate mode

Well I have the following task/issue. I have iMac and installed SamrtSleep 3rd party utility. It put my IMac in hibernate mode once system goes sleep. I have made for UPS setup so when power is off iMac will hibernate.
The problem is I have several external hard drives - FireWire and USB. Anytime I wakeup after hibernate the USB drives is unplugged and plugged again (software mode) and it breaks everything (if any) what was busy with this external drive and Not Properly Ejected warning appear. For example I have image file on external USB mounted before sleep. After wakeup it's unmounted like if I will just switch hard disk off while running.
However my FireWire works just fine the same way like internal hard drive. I have virtual machine image file on FireWire disk. I open and run it. Than go to hibernate and wakeup. The system stays same place where it was before sleep. Noting was unmounted/unplugged. I was able to continue work on Mac OS as well as in same place in virtual machine.
First I was looking for help here and All Over The Google but all issues is around how to unmount all external drives before sleep. But I don't need to unmount them I need hibernate them together with all system.
Also when wakeup my virtual machine notice me where to plug many USB devices (it always ask when new one is connected). It means when Mac OS wakeup from hibernate it "break" all USB connections however nothing happens with FireWire.
My question so far if its possible to put USB in some mode when it will not "break" on wakeup? Or maybe any other solution to hibernate USB disks.

Ok nobody asnwer maybe it's not clear and too many text. I will ask more easy way.
Why Mac OS reconnecting all USB devices after deep sleep?

How to turn off processes (battery drain problems even in standby mode)?

I have the new iPad (3) and a number of processes keep running in the background even though I have "deleted" them in the multi-task pane, i.e., I have double clicked the circle, held down each app and then hit the red dash so that no apps are running in the background. For example, I keep getting notifications that apps need to be updated which means my iPad is checking with the app store - this is happening even though my notification center is empty. I also have a battery app that tells me 30+ processes are running even though I have no open apps. I understand that some processes must always run, but I would like to disable the unnecessary ones b/c I continue to have terrible battery performance, even in standby mode.
As for standby battery performance, the strange thing is that sometimes my battery doesn't drain in standby at all and then other times it drains over 10% over one night. Each time there are no apps running in the background and I have no idea what is causing the inconsistent behavior, but I can only assume there must some process issue.
Anyone have any thoughts?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Satellite L775D-S7222 standby modes stalls the computer

sometimes trying to put the laptop in standby mode FN+F3 stalls the laptop. the screen goes blank and nothing else works, the only option is to hard reset . when this happens most lights stays on and even after removing the power cord the power on light stays lit.
update to the latest BIOS , still the same.

it is a month old laptop. I called them up, their response was to send the laptop back
It's usually suggested that you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
That tells you if there's a software problem.
I believe this could be windows 7 issue. have a friend who has Dell and has similar problems .

After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4s drain battery quickly on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

After Updating the iOS 7.04 on my iPhone 4S drain battery quickly even on standby mode & also doesn't respond volume up button, why?

My battery problem woes continues to persist. Yesterday, I had about 85-90% battery life in the morning. A couple hours later when I looked at the phone it was down to 65%. At that point, I shut off wi-fi, bluetooth, and background app refresh. I received one call shortly after that. The call lasted about two minutes. My battery was now down to 40%. Another hour later, down to 16%! Here's the kicker: I plugged in the phone to a charger and it jumped to 65% in a matter of minutes. I unplugged the phone and within a couple of hours it was back down to around 30%. I plugged it in again and within 10 minutes it was up to 75%.
At first glance it looks very much like a hardware issue. However, I never had this problem until I upgraded to 7.0.4. Also, the above battery roller coaster ride isn't a constant. That is, it seems that only sometimes this happens. So...I'm thinking it's either an app running in the background eating up juice (though I have Background App Referesh turned off) or the iOS is buggy.

Mail is not sending after standby mode!

I had the same problem already with my old mac with lion. Is there a fix for this problem?
iMac Retina 5K with OSX Yosemite 10.10.2

I had the same problem with a satellite A100. I did the following:
1. Go to control panel
2. In classic view select system
3. go to tab Hardware
4. Select device manager
5. Open the "universal serial bus controllers" (via )
6. Double click USB Root Hub
7. select tab: "Power management"
8. unselect allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
9. My computer has several USB Root Hub. I repeated 6 till 8 for all
10. I restarted the computer, but don't know if this is necessary.
After this the problem was gone. Enjoy

Apple TV Standby Mode

I fear that my Apple TV will end up damaged, since this is my current setup:
I have a big power-surge adaptor that my TV, Home Theatre, Game Consoles and my Apple TV plugged into. This means that I can just flick one switch on the wall and everything is turned off. However, when the wall switch gets turned on in the morning, the Apple TV turns on and loads up.
I really wish there was a way to keep the Apple TV in standby mode, even after the power has been turned off at the wall (my TV, Home Theatre etc does it!). The hard drive will stay on until I put Apple TV into standby mode. Depending on who turns the switch on in the morning, the Apple TV could stay turned on for over 12 hours! Or worse, if I'm not around and someone turns the switch off without putting the Apple TV into standby then that could also be damaging.
I really urge Apple to try and get some sort of power-management in place!

It seems a very simple software revision would be to allow a setting for going to sleep automatically after a set number of hours. At the chosen interval (say, 4 hours), a warning window would pop up to say you have 60 seconds until the unit goes to sleep. If you want to keep it awake at that point just press the + button and to make it go to sleep right away when the warning screen is up just press the - button. If you ignore the warning of course the unit would just go to sleep after 60 seconds. You could also choose to turn this feature off if you didn't want to be bothered with it--but I suspect many of us would appreciate this to avoid frying the AppleTV or other components and also to be better stewards of resources.

X230 not aware of AC unplug while in standby

Hello,
I have my power options set up so that the laptop goes into hibernate after 1 hour if it's running on battery, and to never hibernate if it's on AC power.
The problem is that if it's plugged in when I put it in standby/sleep, and remove the AC power later... it will never hibernate.
Shouldn't it be aware that AC power was unplugged while in standby and start the timer for hibernation?
It uses up so much power in standby (1-2% per hour), I would expect it to be able to process such events.
any insight on this?
thanks
Vicentiu
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi again, Vicentiu
I've done some testing myself, and I don't think this is possible, unfortunately. When the system is in sleep or standby mode, then the operating system isn't really running. As such, the operating system does not notice when the AC adapter is removed, since only the hardware registers the change.
I do have a possible workaround for you, though. If you navigate to Control Panel ► Power Options, and then click Change plan settings next to the plan you wish to use, there will be a new window that has an option Change advanced power settings. Click on this link. You should be brought to a window that will allow you to turn off several devices to save power (hard drive, processor, wireless adapter, etc.). This may help you save a bit more power.
Hope it helps,
Adam
