USB devices not working after wake from sleep on WinXP!!! HELP PLEASE!

I would like to put my windows xp to sleep whenever I leave the macbook pro for fear of overheating too much when I'm not using it.
The only problem is that I can't use any more USB devices if I plug them in once I wake it from sleep.
Like my mouse for example, I'm using a laser mouse with a usb plugin but it doesn't respond once I try to use it after WinXP on wake....
Experiencing a ton of wake problems lately...
Sleep is important for a MBP....I hope...

Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

Canon LiDE 100 does not respond after wake from sleep

I have a Canon LiDE 100 flatbed scanner. I constantly put my iMac to sleep and only ever shut it down once every few weeks.
When the computer wakes from sleep the scanner does not respond. Image Capture lists the scanner in the device list but reports the following error;
"An error occurred whilst communicating with the scanner"
I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for it to work (or restart the computer, both always work).
Since I only moved to the Macintosh in July I have no idea how to uninstall drivers to give myself a fresh start and the scanner does not come with an uninstall utility.
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem?
Thanks.

I am going to respond to my self and say I am nuts.
Canon does not seem to have any uninstaller for this scanner on their site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=17104
Which is rather odd since they have installers. this is different from most of their other older scanners. But if you just plugged in our scanner and things worked in OSX, which it should have, then you should be OK.
However I can confirm that others see this issue (like my dad) and here is the official Canon response to the issue:
+Dear XXXX:+
+In some cases, coming out of sleep mode may not properly reinitialize+
+the USB bus on Macintosh Operating Systems. Unfortunately, the only+
+work around when this happens is to restart the computer.+
Of course this in not exactly true as logging out and back in fixes it.

Volume buttons stop working after wake from sleep

I have a Pavilion dm4-1162us. The volume buttons do not work after the notebook wakes from sleep. It works initially from a normal startup. A restart will also resolve the issue. The quicklaunch buttons are the default buttons, that is it is set so the "fn" button needs to be used to use the function "f1, f2, f3, etc." keys.

WiFi not found after wake from sleep

I have my home wireless network set NOT to broadcast. This should pose no problem once I save it as a trusted wireless network. When I start up my computer and log in, it connects to my home network automatically without any trouble. However, when I wake from sleep it frequently says, none of your trusted wireless networks could be found and I either have to connect manually (by entering the SSID and password) or cycle my airport power off and on 2 or 3 times until it realizes the network is in fact there. The signal strength is very strong (I'm only about 10' away from my router), so that's not the issue. I've seen other macs have the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution. It seems like it is giving up on its search of trusted networks before the airport has fully powered on or something. Maybe there's a setting to tell it to rescan a few times before giving up? It's very frustrating.

I finally had the problem once while trying to connect manually. It kept saying connection time out before finally connecting. How does one increase the connection timeout time?

Fingerprint reader not working after resuming from sleep

I kind of mentioned this problem in a previous post and was directed here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245 which is a patch that could possibly fix it.This patch didn't work. What is happening is when my laptop comes back from sleep either the fingerprint reader is unresponsive, it says "waiting..." at the top of the screen instead of the normal scan message and is unresponsive, or in some cases when I click other credentials it shows a third account (first is my account, second is the reader account,and the third is a stop sign thing that says the fingerprint reader isn't attached). When I sign in with my normal password and try to go to the fingerprint software it pops up a little window that is labeled Lenovo Fingerprint 2.0 and the message is "Pleae wait...".
Other then returning from sleep the fingerprint reader has been working fine. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, thanks.
Edited to add patch link.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well I got it working again but I'm not exactly sure how. I will go over what I went through so you guys can get an idea and possibly fix it. To start off I talked to MS support and I worked with them for a really long time. They tried intstalling different drivers (other then AuthenTec) and anytime we did that it would say "Fingerprint reader not available" at the login. They tried changing the power settings and which devices could wake up my computer and that had no effect either. I called Lenovo and they basically just told me to download the software that was already on the computer and change the option to have it wake up the computer, which doesn't exist. They were very unhelpful.
What eventualy got it working (and it's been working so far), is uninstalling the driver and software. Then reinstalling it all and installing the patch linked above. The first time I installed it I just double clicked it and went through the installation process. But you need to go into the folder it installs it into (C:\DRIVERS\VISTA\FPIRPON\) and double click FPIRPOn.reg which will add the fix to the registry. On top of this I also went into Device Manager and unchecked the box that allows the computer to turn of the fingerprint reader under Properties->Power Management for the device. The last thing I did was do a registry edit to force the USB to reset when waking from sleep. I found the registry edit here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928631/en-us.
So I am pretty sure it was the patch that fixed it when I correctly installed it because I had tried both the power management thing to keep it from getting turned off AND the registry edit and it didn't work. I also thing that Vista SP1 fixes what the registry edit does, but I tried it anyways because I was desperate haha. I'm going to undo the registry edit and power management thing one at a time and see if it still works. If it doesn't keep working I'm guessing it's a hardware problem and going to call Lenovo to get it fixed.
Anyone who is having this problem I would suggest they try the patch in the link that I first posted (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-67245)and follow the installation instructions carefully. Good luck!

Firefox 15 UI does not update after wake from sleep

On my Netbook running Windows XP 32-bit, if I leave Firefox open when I put the computer to sleep (by closing its lid), then when I wake it up from sleep, the user interface elements (like the tab bar) won't respond to mouse clicks. This does not happen 100% of the time; in particular it won't happen for a freshly restarted Firefox that is put to sleep, making the problem rather annoying to reproduce. As far as I can tell, I might have to visit some set of websites with Javascript or Flash or something.
Here are some more details about the user interface, because it is not as simple as non-responsiveness. When I wake it up, when I click on a tab to switch to it, the Windows title bar actually changes to display that tab's page title, but nothing else in the UI updates including the URL bar and the actual page displayed. Similarly for closing a tab; the tab remains, but the title bar shows the title of the tab that would receive focus next. After I "pseudo" close a tab and then restart Firefox, it does not remember that I closed the tab (I save sessions) and restarts with the same set of tabs before I tried to close one.
I get the problem even after disabling all extensions and resetting all toolbars to defaults. I have not tried to create a new profile because I have a lot invested in my current profile.

Usb devices not working after 2.6.38 kernel upgrade

Hello everyone,
today I've upgraded my aur system to the latest packages version , kernel 2.6.38-2 .
After the reboot the usb keyboard doesn't work at all , as the usb mouse, leaving me struck at the login screen .
If I try to modify kernel boot parameters in grub or in a live distro (sysrescd) the keyboard works flawlessy .
Any clue ?
thanks in advance

I just updated to 2.6.38.7-1. The USB devices that I have plugged in before booting work (e.g USB headset). If I try to insert a new USB device, it isn't recognized. Flash-disks and USB mice that worked under the last kernel aren't working at all.
Is there a command that lets you "turn on" a USB device, or force the kernel to recognize it? I tried messing around in /sys/bus, but even in the root shell, I got "invalid write" errors.
Interesting snippet from dmesg;

When I try to reconnect the mouse, nothing happens. You can see that the kernel has this error repeatedly;

Mouse Not Antialiased After Wake from Sleep? (on external display)

I've been noticing something very strange lately: after waking the MacBook Pro from sleep, the mouse on the screen is no longer antialiased and is instead quite rough looking — it also has no shadow. I've only noticed this when using an external display. If I'm using the MacBook's built-in screen instead this doesn't happen. Not really a huge problem but I was wondering if anybody else had this issue and if there's a fix. Thanks.

I'm sorry, what? Forgive me if I say that your reply doesn't make any sense. This issue almost certainly has nothing to do with the hard drive failing (or being too stressed), nor is it a lack of RAM. In fact, given that it's only with the external display (Apple LED display), it really almost certainly has nothing to do with the hardware it all. Without a doubt, it would appear, it is a software bug of some kind. For example, if I log out and log back in again, it's fine. So, a minor annoyance, but I'm curious if anyone knows about it/knows of a fix.
For the record, I haven't "bell/whistle"d the Finder at all. I don't see how that's relevant in any way, anyway.
I personally speculate this is some sort of bug with Mac OS X; I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar issue.

Device not working after updating from 8 to 8.1: SMK Ehome Infrared Transceiver and remote control (usb)

Hi all,
An excellent 2015 to you all.
I wonder whether it's possible to get my (USB) SMK Ehome Infrared transceiver (which serves to connect my PC to a remote control) to work again. It functioned okay under Windows 8, but when I upgraded my system to Windows 8.1 it didn't respond anymore.
How's that possible? And do you have any ideas how I can resolve this?
I use the remote control to start and stop videos and to adjust the sound volume.
What I have done already:
-disabled and enabled the consumer IR devices under 'HID devices' in device management.
-disabled and enabled the USB controller for the Ehome Infrared Receiver.
No luck so far. Anybody knows what to do?
Cheers,
Peter

Hi,
What is the driver status in device manager? Have you tried to manually download the right version driver for Windows 8.1 from the transceiver's manufacture website and install it in your system?
Meanwhile, please run services.msc to launch services manager, then scroll down to "Human Interface Device Access service", make sure the service is "started" to "manual" or "automatic", test the issue again.
Yolanda Zhu
TechNet Community Support
Thanks, Yolanda Zhu. There is no driver on the manufacturer's website, but the driver is included from Windows versions XP to 8 and the device responds as expected under these OS Versions. In Windows 8.1 it seems also to be included, and device manager
indicates under Human Interface Devices that the 'Microsoft eHome infra transceiver' driver functions correctly and under
Universal Serial Bus controllers that 'eHome infrared receiver' (USBCIR) functions correctly as well. But when I press the remote, the red LED blinks, but nothing else happens.
The "Human Interface Device Service" is set to automatic and is being executed.
Can it be that the mapping ('action on remote' to 'action on PC') is lost somehow?
Cheers,
Peter AKA Django

Mutiple monitor setup not working after waking from sleep

Mac Mini 2011
Mavericks (10.9.3)
Monitor 1 Mini->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitor 2 Mini->Mini Display Port to HDMI Adapter->HDMI Cable->Monitor
Monitors are not the same size
Thw adapter is PNY (PNY A-DM-HD-W01)
Upgraded to Mavericks, second monitor works nicely. However, when waking the system up after it goes to sleep, the second monitor does not turn on. Further, the primary montior blinks every few seconds between the usual display and shrinking the windows to a smaller size. Unplugging the second monitor from the HDMI adapter cable stops the blinking, but connecting it again (even after waiting a few minutes) makes the blinking continue and the second monitor does not wake up. On reboot, all works fine again.

Screen is not working after resuming from sleep mode

Hello,
i got a problem with my ideapad u330 touch, after i got out of the sleep mode my screen will not come on, so I need to switch it off and back on again then it works fine.
I recently upgraded to win 8.1, i don't know if it has something to do with this, but before it works fine.
Thank you very much

hi McGuinness,
Are you able to recreate the issue if you boot in Safe Mode?
Things that you can try:
1. Press the Windows logo key‌ +R and type devmgmt.msc. On the Device Manager, navigate to the Display Adapter (right click > choose Properties) and on the Driver Tab, check if the Rollback Driver is clickable to restore the previous display driver.
2. Navigate to the Control Panel > Programs and uninstall the Intel display driver and reboot. Navigate to the D:\Drivers folder and locate the Intel Display driver installer (D:\Drivers\VGA\Intel) or download and run the file below to re-install the display driver.
Intel Video Driver for 64-bit Windows
Version 9.18.10.3165
After installing. Try to put the computer to sleep and observe (if the power button is blinking, this indicates that the unit is in sleep mode).
Regards

Flash player not working after updating to 11.5. Help please!

Hi,
I am having problems running Flash player, I am NO expert whatsoever but I will do my best to describe. After updating to Flash 11.5 all applications using Flash including Youtube, Google Streetview etc stopped working. Youtube simply said "an error has occurred" the rest of the applications just didn't load and left me with a blank area of screen where the app/video etc would be. Have tried the usual removal and re-installing and re-installing older versions. The closest thing that has worked has been to re-install the even older version 10.3, which allows Youtube to work but all other applications request I update first, which of course leaves me back at square one.
Could anyone please shed some light on this for me? Could it be a known problem? I've quickly exhausted my limited knowledge!
Thankyou!

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating system
Browser
Flash Player version
Thanks,
Chris

BUG: Sandisk USB flash drive in "half-mounted" state after wake from sleep

My Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB Flash Drive is left in a half-mounted state after wake from sleep. The Finder believes the drive is still mounted, the icon is on the Desktop. However opening a file on the drive, or trying to eject the drive, results in a long beach ball, followed by a message that I removed the drive without Ejecting it first. The same drive continues to work fine on my Tiger machine, and on PCs.
Bug Report:
Setup:
Macbook 1st Gen (2.0 Ghz)
Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Clean Install
Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB USB Flash Drive (in either port)
Repro:
Plug in the drive.
Close the MacBook to put it to sleep
Reopen the MacBook
Result:
The lights on the flash drive never light back up after wake from sleep. Navigating the drive, or trying to eject it results in a "you removed the device without ejecting it first" message.
Expected:
Drive should still be mounted and accessible after waking back up.

It may be a design flaw in the device. Mac OS X does a lot more power management than most other OSes, including tearing devices down to little or no power during sleep. It is possible that the device simply misbehaves due to corrupted memory state or reports a substantially different GUID or something similarly bizarre upon wake. (Okay, that last one wouldn't technically be a power management issue....)
If it doesn't have any problems except when sleeping the system, I would just make sure I unmounted it before putting the machine to sleep and wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check with Sandisk to see if they have a firmware updater for the device.

Left USB-Port dead after wake from sleep. Just restart helps.

I hoped Apples keyboard-Update today would solve my biggest hate-bug in this buggy POS called Leopard. It didn't.
As usual on my Leopard-Macbook Pro, no device will work on the left USB-Port after I waked the computer from sleep. Just a restart helps. I hoped this update to solve this, because it replaced among others "IOUSBFamily.kext".
Terminal gives a timeout error for the internal USB-Hub after wake from sleep. I assumed this should be related.
I'm really angry now.
When will Apple solve the most urgent problems in Leopard?
Was 10.5.1 just smoke and mirrors to make (fool people into...) people upgrade who intended to wait until the first maintenance-update?
Was Leopard Apples attempt to make Windows-Users more comfortable by putting in some heavy extra-bugs and blue screens?
FIX IT FINALLY! And f... don't wait for Macworld to release 10.5.2. It's desperately needed and the current state of Leopard will leave some people very sad at christmas after getting their first Mac. First impression counts and many more peoples first contact with the Mac will be at christmas...

Apple knows the problem and for some reason they are stumped on fixing it. this is so bad I can't believe it. On my macbook pro with Leopard installed, USB left port is dead after sleep. Only restarting can power it back up. I have to restart every day to use my external hard drive for time machine or when putting my flash drive in the port.
Come on already Apple. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS problem.
Fix it.
