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

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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

    hello,
    after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
    the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
    The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
    - SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

    I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
    My solution:
    Cold start with Command-v pressed.
    This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
    What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
    Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
    Anyway: my mac mini works again.

  • IMac G5 iSight will not wake up from sleep

    This has been happening to me for some time.
    Occasionally my Mac do not wakes up from sleep. Instead it hangs!
    Here how it goes:
    I press a key on keyboard; my Mac wakes up, but screen remains black with only mouse pointer. I cannot see login window.
    And Mac stays this way for hours. No matter if I press a key, click a mouse.
    The only remedy is to press power button and to shut it down.
    Then I have checked console.log. Nothing spectacular. Here is log from last accident:

    Wait - before you take it in for repair or get put on hold with Support try this:
    Go to System Prefs, Energy Saver, then set your display sleep and computer sleep times the same. Check both check boxes too.
    Trust me, I've been working on this problem with Apple and checking the discussion boards for over a year now. I've had my logic board replaced, power supply replaced, been through about 8 Apple techs and tried just about anything you'll read on these boards or get told to do by a tech. If you notice about every 4th or 5th page has someone posting about this problem. The above suggestion is the most recent thing I tried (from reading posts here in this forum, not from an Apple Tech) and it has come out of sleep for the past 30+ tries without a problem. This is not to say this is IT(the final sovle), because it has been known to go on a good run for a week or so and then come up again. This 'fix' however, has been the most promising. If it continues to work, I will let Apple know and hopefully they can fix the bug. They have all sorts of case history with me on this problem.

  • Pavillion 15 n000sp doesn't wake up from sleep in Windows 10

    Since updating from Windows 8.1 to 10, my notebook has lost the ability to wake up from sleep mode.
    When I leave it idle but open, the scren goes off but any touch on the keyboard or mouse wakes it up.
    If I close the notebook, it goes into a deep sleep mode and unable to wake up. The usb powers off (optical mouse stops working) and pressing the keyboard, touchpad or power button does nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect the usb cable, I regain power to the mouse, but don't gain any functionality. Only way to recover from this is a hard reset by long power button press. I have already followed the instructions at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935#AbT0 (basically assuring that peripherals have the ability to wake up the device - not only the keyboard, as stated in the article, but also mouse and touchpad -  and checking for updates both through the windows update as the HP support Assistant and going through all devices in the device manager). I have updated both graphical card drivers (Intel HD and NVidia Gforce) and the update assistant doesn't detect any more updates. Still, the issue persists. Any help?

  • Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep when express card inserted

    Hi,
    my macbook pro (no unibody, 10.5.7) wakes up from sleep when I have my express card 34 (Hama 16GB) inserted. Is there any trick to disable wake up when a drive is inserted? I tried to eject the disk before going to sleep with a shell script but it automounts the device... I attached my log... I hope somebody can help! Thanks a lot!

    Hey, thanks 4 your response... Well I figured that out... I hoped that there was a way to prevent system calls, regarding devices, to wake up my macbook pro... something like: forbid interrupts while asleep
    If you ever hear of a way to fix it please let me know...
    I think a solution would be to disable automount on the express card device... I use it for my time machine backup and really DON'T want to remove the card every five minutes...

  • My imac freezes , need to restart everytime i wake it from sleep mode. just started happening 2 weeks ago.

    For about 2 weeks whenever I return to my imac and tap the mouse to wake it from sleep mode my screen is frozen. I have tried to wait for it to unfreeze but it doesnt wake. I cannot get any results from using the mouse or the keyboard. I always have to hard reset the computer to be able to use computer again. My mac is a year old. Anyone have any thoughts as to why tis is happening? Thanks

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Application launches fail after wake up from sleep when switching from one open directory to another

    I take my MacBook Pro back and forth from home to work.  Open Directory is set up at both locations running on Snow Leopard server.  These two locations are entirely separate domains and IP networks.  The only thing that is the same is my username and password, which is the same in both locations.
    If I put my machine to sleep in one location and move to the other location and wake it up, I can usually launch one application, then no other applications launch and the machine is pretty much frozen up except for mouse cursor movement.  Using command-shift-escape and relaunching the finder doesn't help.
    It is as if the launch daemon has been made inoperative.  Apps just sit and bounce.
    Should one be able to log in one one network with open directory. Close all applications, move to an entirely different network, and wake up from sleep and continue working?  The login/password is identical on both open directory setups.
    Both home and work are set up so the users can "travel" and the machines are not "bound" to the open directory server.
    I've started using the "other" login box to login in which I think keeps the machine more independent of open directory and that seems to work better for moving between networks.
    Any ideas and/or comment welcome.
    (my DNS seems fine in both environments.  running changeip gets "success" in both places)

    After reading another post that popped up under "More Like This" after I posted this I may have found at least a temporary fix.  Unplugging and reseating the MDP adapter in the MacPro didn't accomplish anything but unplugging/reseating the HDMI plug in the Viewsonic brought it back to life.
    I guess I can live with this but it would be nice knowing that there's a more permanent fix for this.

    My Hp Photosmart 7525 wakes up from sleep mode approx. every hour. It is set up as wireless and usb. is there some setting or update that I need to apply to fix this problem?

    Hi DanHannon, Welcome to the HP Forums!  I understand that your printer is waking up from sleep on its own hourly. I would try the following: 1.) Update the firmware. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates. 2.) Plug the printer's power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

  • G3 Bronze Keyboard won't wake up from sleep

    I have a hand-me-down Powerbook G3 Lombard 400 Mhz (bronze keyboard), with a dead main battery. It works great with the power adapter, and has just enough charge for me to move it from one outlet to another without shutting down. I'm trying to set it up for use as an Itunes server connected to my home stereo, which is fine because it will always be plugged in.
    The problem is that the laptop won't wake up from sleep. This morning I noticed that the display and HD seemed to be sleeping, but the fan/processor buzzing noise was still going (there were no lights other than the little green light on my PCI card). I couldn't figure out any combination of keyboard or power key strokes that would either wake it up or shut it down. I unplugged it, waited half an hour or so, and it finally shut down. I then plugged in, hit power, and it started and booted perfectly (after the expected disk check for abnormal shutdown). Then this afternoon, the whole thing was sleeping (I think -- no sound, no lights other than PCI card light), and again it wouldn't wake up. Again, I unplugged, let it power down (waited for the PCI light do die), the replugged and it started up just fine.
    Any idea what gives? Or what I do when it's sleeping? Right now, I have changed the power saving settings so that it never goes to sleep, but I'd really like to let it sleep when people forgot to turn it off...
    thanks!

    aldpol,
    There are many causes for sleep issues and you just have to wade through them one at a time.
    You can always force a Lombard or newer powerbook to shut down by pressing/holding the power button until it turns off. As you have noted, this is an undesirable process since you can corrupt the HD.
    I would start the troubleshooting in this manner:
    1. Unplug all peripherals (PC cards, mouse, everything).
    2. Reset the power manager:

    3. Now put the powerbook to sleep via the Special menu, wait a minute or so, then wake.
    4. If no success, restart while pressing the shift key until you see the message 'extensions off', then release. Now test sleep/wake.
    If number #3 is successful, one of you peripherals is probably the troublemaker. If still having issues, please post back with more details if possible.

  • Don´t wake up from sleep mode

    Since few day, my Mac Mini didn´t wake up from sleep mode.
    When i click on Mouse or Keyboard, the Mini stay´s at Sleep.
    I must shut down the Mini by using the power on/off button.
    Also after a few time, the Bluetooth Settings in the Bar Menu getting slower,
    it needs a time to pop up the settings windows.
    i use 10.8.4.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
    * Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
    * After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
    * The case is VERY hot.
    * When I open the lid, the display stays black.
    * No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
    * Only way to recover is to power cycle.
    * Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
    Actions:
    * AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
    * I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
    * AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
    I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
    Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

  • IPhone wakes macbook from sleep

    Is there anyway to make my macbook stop waking from sleep when I dock my iPhone. Since the lid is shut, there is really no reason to bother waking the machine. iTunes will also try and open and start a sync, but then the computer realizes the lid is still closed so it will go back to sleep again. I would like for this behavior to stop.

    Just about any USB device plugged in while the mac is asleep will wake it from sleep. I'm afraid there is no solution, other than think about the reason you would be plugging in the iPhone while the macbook is asleep in the first place. It's probably because you want to charge the iPhone, right?
    Think of another way to charge the iPhone besides plugging it into your macbook. How about the included wall charger?
    Belkin makes a really nice ($20) three-outlet surge protector that also has 2 powered USB ports for charging devices like the iPhone and iPod.
