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.

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 port powered while sleeping?

    Does anyone know if any of the USB ports on an Intel 24" iMac are powered while my Mac is sleeping? So something like my phone will continue to charge while the Mac is asleep?
    Thanks!

  • U430 power off while on battery

    Hi,
    I have had my Lenovo U430 touch for about a month now, and have noticed a problem with it. Sometimes when I leave my Lenovo u430 touch alone (with full battery), and sometimes it will just power off without me doing anything. It even happens occasionally when I dont use it for a few minutes while im working in front of it. 
    It is definitely a power-off problem for me, rather than hibernate/sleep as my programs are no longer running when I turn it back on.
    Hasnt caused any lasting damage as yet but am worried it could happen while im working on something important. 
    Happy to give more info if needed (will need instructions on how to get it though - im not that computer-savvy).
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Olaf9500,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with system turn off when the system is in idle in your U430 laptop.
    As you have mentioned for the drivers please check the below link for the drivers.
    Click here for the energy management drivers if the operating system is windows 8(both 64bit and 32 bit).
    Click here for the energy management drivers if the operating system is windows 7(both 64bit and 32 bit).
    If you are using windows 7 then go to start search type power option, under on battery there is option for turn off the display, select never option and check for the issue.
    Also there is option for the sleep under the power option select never option and check for the issue.
     Hope this helps! Do post us back for further queries.                                
    Best regards,

  • Firewire ports and power draw while sleeping

    After plugging in a power meter, I noticed my iMac was puling approximately 13W while sleeping. A bit of unplugging narrowed it down to the firewire ports. Each one was pulling about 6W, even while sleeping.
    Will the firewire ports still draw power if the device is turned off? I'm specifically interested in an external drive that has a hard power-off feature (as opposed to simply sleeping). I'd like to keep it plugged in (I had been unplugging the cable except when needed).
    I now I can check this myself, but I'm using the power meter for another project right now and don't want to unplug it and start over, but would like an answer "now."
    Thanks in advance.

    An open cable connected to any port draws no power. Think of it as kind of a cable to nowhere. Now...connect it to some external object such as a printer or external hard drive and the current draw of the device determines how much power is drawn. Most devices in standby draw about 5-15W depending on their complexity.

  • Connecting power source while sleep causes issue

    My macbook pro often lags when I connect or disconnect the power source while the lid is closed (sleeping).
    In other words, when I oppen it after a sleep, the screen stays black but I can hear the fans turn and see the little activity light in front.
    Is it normal, and if not, how can it be solved ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    After cleaning coolers my problem is still same. But when I disabled Lenovo / ThinkPad PM driver I think my problem is gone... I had random sleep problems or hibernation without reasons and temperatures are ok..
    Clean install of windows didn't help, updated drivers of any kind didn't help....
    First I assumed that is hardware problem but after driver update T400 started to goes into sleep mode when dvd is inside and I open lid goes into system and suddenly when there is notification near clock about founded new hardware in this case DVD he goes into sleep mode again...
    once agian disabled tpm driver I think fixed this problem... Now I m confused laptop worked half or year without any changes and suddenly this problem comes out of nothing...
    Is this problem of any kind of hardware or just some problem with lenovo drivers?
    thanx

  • IMac power draw while sleeping?

    My macbook used to draw 1-2 watts while asleep. My iMac us drawing 11-17. This seems a bit high. Even an older PC desktop I had would only draw 3-4 (dual core, beefy vid card, multiple HDD's, etc).
    I'm wondering what others experience when their iMac is sleeping. Even though mine is a 24", I'd be happy to hear from anyone with an alu iMac. I'd also like to hear any suggestions for things to look at as possible energy draws while sleeping.
    Thanks

    Very strange.
    If you go to this page: http://www.apple.com/environment/resources/specs.html
    and then click on Environmental attributes listing you will see that specified power draw whilst asleep is approximately 2.4 watts.
    If you have MEASURED the power draw at 11-17 watts during sleep mode, I would take it into your local Apple Store.

  • IMac turns off while sleeping

    My iMac sometimes turns off during sleep mode, I did call apple care and went through utilities and the tech support said that issue should be resolved, but it happen again today. Has anyone else had the same issues? Is this also the start of some bigger issues down the line?
    Thanks,

    HI BC,
    Check System Preferences/Energy Saver. Click the Schedule button bottom right in that pane and make sure it's not set to turn off at a certain time.
    According to this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 Make sure your software is up to date.

  • Can USB power off ?

    Hello,
    Can a USB port be powered-off automaticaly when putting the computer in sleep mode ?
    I have a iBook G3 wich I keep cool with a dual-fan stand powered by the USB port. I'd like it to stop when the ibook "falls asleep"...
    I couldn't find the answer on the net. Any idea ?

    THese things can also be controlled by "drivers" for the device provided by the manufacturer.
    As I understand it the Pangea controller in the iBook should send a "USB suspend" command when the computer goes to sleep. A properly "compliant" device should recognise this and put itself to "sleep" too.
    It may be that there is a problem with the "driver" of this device (if it has one) or that an update is available from the device manufacturer to enable this.
    See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1121.html for some basic information, but I'd suggest that you get in touch with the manufacturer of the stand to see if they provide any drivers capable of achieving what you want. Of course this would require that the fan system actually interacts with the USB ports data lines (ie it has some sort of built in processor control itself), and isn't simply taking a straight uncontrolled power feed.

  • Sleep or power off for traveling?

    Is it ok to transport the MBP (in the back-bag) while it is in the sleeping mode? or should I turn it off totally before transport? Please let me know, thanks

    Hi Tom71,
    The MacBookPro actually has various possible sleep modes, but the default is one which both saves a 'sleep image" to disk (in case of a battery running out, etc - hence the slow "going to sleep" process, and maintains the contents of RAM - hence the fast wakeup unless the sleep image has to be accessed, but the continuing current drain).
    Maintaining the contents of RAM necessarily uses power.
    You can change the sleep mode using terminal if you wish, but a useful little utility called "SmartSleep" makes this easier.
    Your choices are essentially:
    1) the default (discussed above) - slow to sleep, fast to wake, with power maintained to RAM.
    2) "sleep only" mode - in which power is maintained to the RAM, but no sleep image is written - fast both in going to sleep and waking up but less secure than the other options and still uses your battery.
    3) "hibernation" mode only - doesn't maintain power to RAM, but writes the disk image - slow to sleep and slow to wake, but it substantially reduces power consumption while sleeping over any extended period and is safe if your battery runs out anyway.
    (there are two additional modes which are relevant if you are using "secure virtual memory")
    If you want to use Terminal commands to make the changes see http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html
    There is also a Widget available called "Deep Sleep" - http://www.axoniclabs.com/DeepSleep/ that will "hibernate" your Mac if you wish.

  • Black screen upon wake from sleep when I change power state while in sleep

    Hi,
    I'm having this problem where my MacbookPro won't always wake from sleep.
    OSX is 10.6.3 and fully updated.
    I've done a lot of troubleshooting, and I can now replicate the issue 100%:
    1 - Put the MacbookPro to sleep by closing lid
    2 - Change power source (from plugged-in to battery or vice versa)
    3 - open lid - MacbookPro will wake, but stays at black screen and is unresponsive.
    Only if I change power state while sleeping will this issue show. Anyone else experincing this issue, and anygot got a clue on what to do?
    regards,
    Lasse

    I've seen the same issue after upgrading to 10.6.3. I have a one year old MacBook Pro. I would have the screen be black after coming back from sleep or hibernate (tried both).
    The workaround I found is to close the lid -almost- all the way and then immediately open it back up again, like I am catching the Mac going back to sleep and then changing my mind. For whatever reason, this has been reliably solving my issue for the last couple weeks reliably.
    Only other oddity I noticed is that immediately after upgrading OS X told me that my one year old battery needed to go in for servicing...
    Anyway, now all looks right with the world assuming you don't mind a quick close/open cycle.. Lovely...

    The classic cause of an uncommanded shutdown is overheating.  The system shuts down to prevent damage.  Had your power adapter failed, the system would continue to operate until the battery was exhausted and in that case you would get low power warnings before shutdown.  If the system is under warranty, the best course of action would be to take it to a Premier (emphasis on Premier) Authorized Service Provider.  If it is overheating, they will open it up, clean out the accumulated dust and dirt, remove and clean the processor heat sink and reapply thermal grease.  If it's not under warranty, you can do much the same yourself - or at least as much as you are comfortable with.  At the least you could blow out the air vents with a can of compressed air and see if the situation improves.
