USB 2.0 ports / Shuffle struggle with sleep mode

My Shuffle is plugged in to the back of my iMac G5 and all is good... yet after the iMac wakes from sleep, the port it used in the back becomes useless. iTunes and sys profiler no longer detects it. And if I plug my mouse into that same port(the one where the shuffle was), well, no mouse either. I've tried this on all 3 ports in the back, same result. The ones on the keyboard though always work, sleep or no sleep. Could this be a hardware issue, or just a simple 10.4.2 bug?
Thanks for any help!

The other night I made the mistake of leaving my iPod plugged into my iMac while it/I was asleep. My iMac suddenly woke up twice during the night, which woke me up. It was tough getting out of bed that morning!!!

How can I keep USB's ports active while in sleep mode?

How can I keep USB's ports active while in sleep mode?

OK, for some of you that may have the same problem or question as me. I have been testing my MAC Book Pro for ways to continue to power the usb while laptop in standby or off. I have found the following thing to work or not work.
1. The laptop doesn't send any power to your USB's when it is powered off reguardless if it is plugged in or not.
2. If laptop is put in standby no power is sent to USB's unless the power cord is plugged in on the laptop. So once again if you plug your laptop in and then put it in standby it does still send power to the USB's when requested.
So the bottom line is, On my last laptop (toshiba) I was given an option to go into system preference and make a change that allowed my laptop to continue to send power to USB's when requested while in standby or powered off. I was hoping I could do the same thing with my new smokin Mac Book Pro but I haven't found that kind of option in the MAC.

Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide. In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

USB 2.0 issue with sleep mode--help!

hey there,
so i've searched this forum's board and found that it seems quite a few people have had issues with USB 2.0 and sleep mode on the mac. most of what i read, however, comes from people not being able to put the computer to sleep once new USB 2.0 cards or devices are installed. that is not the problemm I seem to be having, but is this:
I recently purchased a Belkin USB 2.0 PCI card, and installed it on my MAC G4 tower. It seemed to work ok for a little while, but then i noticed that AFTER i put the computer to sleep, when it 'awakens' from slumber, it no longer reads the USB devices. if the device was plugged in prior to sleep mode, it sometimes reads ok. but if I try and plug in a new USB device, such as an iPod or flash drive, no dice. it doesn't mount on the Mac.
I called Belkin tech support, and they were very helpful, but told me that the macs have had issues powering the USB PCI card once the computer is in sleep mode. they even directed me to an apple support page that has downloads that seem to address this, but they're for 10.0-10.0.4. I don't want to download that onto my mac (10.3.9) cuz im worried it might screw something up on my OS.
I would LOVE a download link for a software updater for this if someone knows where it is, otherwise, I may have to return this thing to Belkin and go with a more mac-friendly brand. so im open to that possibility, too.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
cheers,

I would either complain to Belkin for a fix if there is one or return the card and try a different one. You should not have the problem, but Belkin USB hubs and cards appear to have more problems like yours than other manufacturers' products.
You might try Sonnet's Tango FW400/USB 2.0 multi-card, for example, or Firewire Direct's 6-port FW800/USB 2.0 card.

Does the USB port provide power in sleep mode?

Subject pretty much says it all... curious as to if the USB port will continue to provide power to a connected device even in sleep mode?
I can find some info on the G5 iMacs that say they did not, but can't find anything on the Intel iMacs.
Specifically, thinking of buying an iPod Nano and wondering if it will charge it while sleeping.

Regarding Apple's document, it is interesting to note:
Your computer goes to sleep
Your computer can only charge iPod when it's turned on and not asleep. Make sure your computer on and is not set to go to sleep when you want to charge iPod.
Tip: Some Macintosh computers can charge iPod even though they're asleep. If your sleeping computer doesn't charge iPod, don't worry, just wake it and let iPod charge.
Apple doesn't specifiy which computers are capable of this however so I wouldn't bet on it.
Of note, the USB port must provide a very small amount of power not only, I would think, to allow the keyboard/mouse to wake the Mac but also to light the LEDs of my bus powered (not AC powered) Macally hub which remain constant as long the Mac is on (sleeping or not). That also applies to the USB charger that came with my Kensington Wireless keyboard (although I have not tried charging while in sleep mode). That being said, the power - no doubt - is minimal.

Hp pavilion dv6 disables all usb ports when put to sleep mode. hibernate will enable them again.

Im using an HP pavilion dv6 - 6b56el with Windows 7 Home Premium.
First install on 15-DEC-2011
When I put the PC to sleep it will disable all USB ports.
When I restart the box or put it to hibernate (and wake it again) the USB ports wil work again.
This happens when running on battery or connected to a power supply.
As far as I can see I checked all power settings that could possibly disable the USB ports.
I think the latest changes to the system made before this happens were automatic windows updates on 18-DEC-2011 and 19-DEC-2011.

Hi,
There are some computers on the market which have special USB port(s) stay awake during the computer in sleep mode. In your case, you can change this using Device Manager under power management tab (un-tick "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power").

Problem with sleep mode in Win 7

Hello Friends,
I have a great problem after Windows 7 updated itself. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L505D. When I close the lid, it should automatically go to the sleep mode. Unfortunately, only the screen is black and the laptop is still running, I have to shut it down then switch on again. Is it a problem with the 'battery driver'?Please, help me :)

Before you continue to wait for solution and waste your time back-up all your important data and reinstall OS again using HDD recovery installation - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
After doing this you will have clean preinstalled and well working OS again.
The first thing you should do after OS installation is to disable automatic Windows update. Do it manually and install important updates only.

I am having trouble with sleep mode for my macbook pro

My Macbook pro 13" is getting old, about late 2009.
Sorry if language confusing you.
Ok, Normally when you are turn your screen down osx will automatically get into sleep mode and when you open the screen it will be back as usual.
Lately since 2-3 months ago til now I am having problem with that, when I am turn my screen down everything is fine I mean no horrible noise or anything that warn you like this mac is having problem and turn to sleep mode as usual BUT when I am turn it back on my monitor screen is blank, black screen for awhile I mean not less than 5 minutes also no respond to anything then my mac will auto restart and show up the dialog "This mac has restarted because unexpected problem blah blah blah" something like that. Sometimes I can't wait that long so I hold down the turn off button then turn my mac on again.
Not everytime this problem show up just it seems this problem start show up more frequently.

Ok I got the answer from google, just resetting PRAM or something and now everything is fine.

Problem With Sleep Mode

I have my computer set up, so that after 15 minutes of inactivity, it goes to sleep mode. Well when I decided to wake up the computer, the computer woke up, but not the monitor. I didn't know what to do so I tried shutting down. it didn't seem like it worked so I tried it again & then I could hear the hard drive making this loud noise. I was able to get it to shut down & it was fine after that. The only application I had open was Safari. This is the first time I have had this issue. Is there anything that I can do so that it won't do that again or should I contact Mac support? Thank you!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

EletricB,
That box being checked is the "default" setting at System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep - towards the lower left just above the "Restore Defaults" button. Yours is probably still checked if you're not aware of it. It won't be long and you'll soon feel like an old hand with your Mac.
I'm not aware of any official reasoning for the default setting, although there may be one that sounds perfectly logical. I simply believe it is unnecessary. Most everyone today is in a hurry, so making them wait for an extra second or two just to be able to get back to work (after someone gets a phone call that takes their attention from doing anything at all with the computer) is a penalty more than a help.
Leaving it checked will not be worthwhile in extending the life of the hard drive. Mine is unchecked and my computer (and its hard drive) are on 24/7 without issue.

Problem with sleep mode!!! Help!!

I have an Ipod nano and recently updated it. Since then, when my ipod automatically goes to sleep mode it no longer plays the music/audiobooks I listen to, when it would continue before. This is terribly inconvienent and pretty much goes against the whole point of listening to my ipod. HOW do I fix this?! I can only guess it was part of the update. Help

There is another thread about the sleep/wake mode issue as well. I really didn't think that this was my issue until you said that the update included a change in this specifically. I'm not sure why the headphones would start playing music through them until it was plugged in all the way--that would be a better way of preventing this problem and not causing this misunderstanding with the sleep/wake mode. But my issue is that I can not push the headphones in any farther (it does make that click sound and it is clear it is in)...but this problem hasn't been since I bought the nano, just since the update so I know it is related to this change. So basically I have to buy new headphones because of the update??? What I was doing before was unplugging the headphones from the nano in hopes the music would not start playing again in my bag. That seemed to be working fine. Isn't there another solution for people who have the headphones in as far as they can go and don't want to have to replace their headphones?

Help with sleep mode

Is there a way to disable sleep mode when the lid is closed?

Since you make no detail available as to the reason for your question, certain assumptions will have to be made to answer fully.
As such, I assume you want to do this so you can run the unit with a separate monitor, mouse and keyboard (sort of like a desktop).
No, you can't disable the action of the system to go into sleep mode upon closing the lid, using any native process or procedure. However, there are third party applications available to do so. I would not reccommend them. The chances are too great that, sooner or later, you would erroneously close the lid on a running system and place the computer in a compromising situation, such as enclosure within a case or bag, wherein overheating would be a practical certainty.
Apple does however incorporate the ability to "wake" the sytem, without having to re-open the lid. This is called "closed clamshell" mode. This is to offer users a means to run their unit while hooked to an external monitor, BlueTooth keyboard and BlueTooth mouse.
The procedure is detailed here.

Problems with sleep mode in 10.4.7

I recently upgraded to OS 10.4.7 and now the sleep mode doesn't work like it used to. On all other versions of the OS, i'd put the computer to sleep and whenever I wanted to start it up again I'd wiggle the mouse or hit any key on the keyboard. Now, neither of those work. The system goes into sleep mode as usual, but the only way to wake it is by hitting the power button on the tower. Is this an OS bug? Is there a fix? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

Problem with sleep mode-T400

Hey Guys,
I have a lenovo T-400, Windows Vista Home Basic 32Bit. When I put my computer to sleep and try to wake it up within 5 minutes, it wakes up but it doesn't wake up when the sleep time goes beyond 5 mins.
Here are the "few" things that I have tried:
1) Installed Windows Xp Pro(Service Pack 2 and 3)
2) Installed Windows Vista Home Premium( My own Copy)
3) Installed Windows Vista Home Basic( Lenovo Recovery Disks)
4) Installed Service packs for the above mentioned windows.
5) Ran Lenovo System Update and updated all softwares(Including BIOS, Power Manager and Display Drivers)
6) Ran Lenovo System Toolbox(which says everything is working fine)
7) Called Lenovo Customer Care every other day for past one month-with no success)
8) Turned Security Chip as "Active" in the bios( as suggested by someone in this forum)
9) Spoke to Lenovo Customer Support to replace my laptop( but they say that it is not a hardware issue so they can't do anything about it)
10) Visited many windows forums and tried installing windows hotfix meant to cure this problem but again no success.
11) I have also tried matching settings of my laptop with another T400 laptop(in which sleep mode works), but no success.
12)Finally I was suggested by a friend to use this forum and that I would definitely get a solution here.
Please help me. I am a student and therefore the proper functioning of sleep mode feature is very important for me.
Also, My laptop is under warranty for one more year.

Hi,
Have you check you settings in Power Manager. If you start it, switch to advanced mode and check inactivity settings for the power profile you are using you will find that you can set times for shutting down certain things. Look if you have things set to shutdown after 5 minutes.
The obvious suspect would be that you have set the machine to hibernate after 5 minutes (although this seems very short). Once you have found the "suspect" change the time to verify that this is what causes the problem.

Problem with sleep mode reset

When my iPhone is unattached from the charging source and the phone goes into sleep mode it automatically, continuously resets itself and kills the battery. There is no way to take the phone out of this cycle unless it is plugged back into a charging source. Once plugged in the phone will automatically turn on and function normally. If the settings on the phone are changed so the phone does not enter a sleep mode the phone functions normally. If the phone is plugged into the power source and goes into sleep mode it does not reset itself, it functions normally. Can someone please help with this problem. I have already completely uninstalled and reinstalled the software via Apple consultant at 800-my-apple.

by "wake up" i mean not powering it up from start. but wake it from sleep. (push sleep button, so it goes dark. then push home button to wake it up again. try swiping up.)
This problem do not happend everytime.
can`t find out when it does.
Thanks for awnsere.

Satellite L505D - Problem with sleep mode in Win 7

It's me again, in last thread :
"Hello Friends,

Unfortunately, only the screen is black and the laptop is still running, I have to shut it down then switch on again. Is it a problem with the 'battery driver'?Please, help me :)"
The sleep mode worked perfeclty for couple of days and it is again gone.. What is more when I try to enter the sleep mode I can't do anything on the notebook , it is still running on blank screen and the processors' fan is working on high speed. During these last days, when the sleep mode worked, windows didn't update itself..
I don't know what is happening.. :) Weird problem, isn't it?

It is not easy to say why this happen. In your last posting you wrote about some windows updates. Who knows what is wrong there.
If nothing helps, not even system restore and you want to use stand-by mode I recommend you to back-up all your data and install OS again using recovery mode.
With factory settings everything will be OK again but then be careful with updates.
