Visualizer won't prevent display sleep?

I've seen other posts related to this but haven't found the exact issue, so here goes (and thanks in advance for your insights):
Instead of using appleTV, I hardwired my nice, huge sony tv to my macpro with a DVI-to-HDMI cable. I did this because I like to have the iTunes visualizer running during parties and such (because, APPLE, the ATV won't freaking do it!)
The problem is that the iTunes visualizer apparently doesn't count as "activity," and the displays (including my tv) go to sleep after the interval that I've set in system preferences for display sleep.
I know that I can fix this by simply changing my system preferences when I intend to use my TV in this way, and I know that this isn't hard to do. But I want to make sure that there isn't an option that I've missed.
Is there a way to tell the OS, one time and permanently, not to put the display(s) to sleep if the visualizer is running?
Thanks again y'all!

The same thing happens on both my MacBook Pro (15", late 2011) and Mac Mini running Mavericks. After the screen saver appears, the computer's display won't sleep if the Playstation DualShock 3 controller is either plugged in (via USB) or connected via Bluetooth.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I noticed that my controller is sending a bunch of data that's not related to any physical button or axis.

When lock My MacBook under Maverick i want to prevent Display sleep. How to to this?

I agree this is works when MacBook is locking after some time. Once I press keyboard shortcut to lock, Display also is set to sleeping mode, So question is how to prevent this in this case?
Thank you!

"Disable Screen Saver" hot corner no longer prevents Display Sleep

I am not sure whether it started only after I upgraded to 10.5.7, but I certainly have this very annoying issue right now.
I have "Disable Screen Saver" assigned to the top right "hot corner". Some time ago I could place my mouse pointer there in order to prevent activating of "Display Sleep" (as well as gradually dimming before jumping into bed).
It no longer works. I have my pointer in the right corner, and nevertheless the display first dims, then goes to sleep.
Is this only my problem? Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks!

Anybody?

My display won't go to sleep

I just recently upgraded to the Mountain Lion OS and now my computer won't go into the screen saver (set at 10 minutes) and the display won't go to sleep (after 15 minutes). It is on all the time. Any suggestions?

Same issue in ML (sorry for continuing this thread here).
Please let me know if you figure this out. I have tried SMC/PRAM resets, disk permission repairs. Nothing.

MBA won't wake from sleep while connected to VGA Display

Since a few days I'm using a VGA Display connected through the official Apple Mini Displayport - VGA Adapter. However, when I put my MacBook Air to sleep and then close the lid (otherwise closing the lid will just continue on the display). Keeping the monitor attached, it won't wake from sleep anymore. Disconnecting the adapter at that moment won't make any difference. What troubleshooting steps can I make?

I usually...
Take out the charger
take out the battery pack
reinsert the battery pack
Then click the power switch
(if you have low battery I'm sure it would be a good idea to plug in the adapter again

MBP (early 2009) won't wake from Display Sleep

My MBP has started to not wake from Display Sleep (the machine is not sleeping, only the display). The only way to get it back is to force power off by holding the power button down.
The weird thing is, when I power it on, it shows the 'loading RAM from disk' progress bar down the bottom of the all grey screen, as if the battery ran out. But I have it connected to a power source. Once it loads the RAM, the screen goes blank and it hangs. Another force restart and it boots to the login screen as per normal.
One thing I have noticed is that when this all happens (ie, when I try to wake it and nothing happens) the fans are on about medium speed and its very warm, as if there is some process thats causing high CPU usage and preventing the display waking. I usually have a few browsers open, iTunes, etc, nothing out of the ordinary.
I might try connecting via screen sharing next this happens to see if its responsive over the network -- i'll post my findings here.
I have screen saver with password protection turned on, and its connected to an external apple display.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Try a SMC reset.

Display won't go to sleep and freezes

hey guys, my macbook retina wont go to sleep when I leave it idle, I set it to go to sleep after 1 minute in energy saver preferences but nothing happens..the screen stays on , if I try to manually make it sleep, than the computer screen turns black and freezes.. I have to manually restart after that, I'm on mountain lion 10.8.1

I have a few questions if you have a few minutes to answer. Here they are.
1. Exactly what is sleeping if in energy saver you have these settings:
display not sleeping: hard disk unchecked-not sleeping: and computer sleeping?
2. Why do you leave the hard disk unchecked-not sleeping. If it is spinning, isn't it better to have it stop spinning when not in use?
3. Sort of related to question number 2, why do you use the settings that you mentioned: display-sleeping: computer not sleeping; hard disk-not sleeping. In other words why do you only put the display to sleep.
Thanks, Lorin (dont know much about sleep)

Screen saver + Energy Saver (Computer Sleep + Display Sleep) won't work since Mavericks

Howdy,
Sorry to bother you.
My computer: iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
It took me some time to upgrade to Mavericks, but I did it eventually.
After having some problems with Spotlight (which was infinite looping indexing... and I just had to turn if off from Terminal), I realized I was encountering another big problem to me since the installation of Mavericks.
In System Preferences:
- 'Desktop and Screen Saver > Screen Saver' : it is set to 1 minute;
- 'Energy Saver > Computer Sleep' : it is set to 10 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Display Sleep' : it is set to 5 minutes;
- 'Energy Saver > Put hard disks to sleep when possible' : it is checked.
- 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access' : it was checked. I unchecked it. Nothing changes.
- 'Energy Saver > Start up automatically after a power failure' : it is unchecked.
- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
So, before Mavericks, everything was working great.
Now, after 1 minute, or after 5 minutes, or after 10 minutes: it's all the same. Nothing is sleepy. Nothing is energy saving.
I did not change anything in my computer since I've updated to Mavericks. However, I changed Wi-Fi. Since it was the only new change, I've "played" with 'Energy Saver > Wake for network access'. When I opened my System Preferences, it was checked. I unchecked it. It did not change anything. I'm not sure what it's used for.
I would appreciate any advice to make it work as it used to.
Thanks for your time reading and typing your answer,
Have a good day,
Regards,

- 'Energy Saver > Allow power button to put computer to sleep' : this option is absent from my System Preferences > Energy Saver, but I would like it.
Built into the Software now.
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might try Spotlight again. That is how the App Store knows what is installed.

Leopard on MDD-Display sleeps but computer won't sleep or wake-Need Help!

I installed Leopard on a 2nd internal drive and made it the boot drive. (I kept my 10.4.11 on the original internal drive.) Everything seems to run fine, but the machine will not go to sleep as told to do in System Prefs. The display sleeps, but the computer continues to run. (fans are on) It will not wake from this state. I have to power down and power up to get things going again.
I also have the 'Repair Permissions' issue.. Bar says about one minute but just sits there.
It's a MDD dual 1 gig, with 1.5 gig. mem.
Can anyone help figure this one out?
John

I spent literally hours on the phone with Apple Support. We tried one thing after another with no success. We deleted com.apple files, one Pref. file after another, we unplugged one external device after another. It went on for about 4 hours or more. I finally couldn't stand it any more and we agreed to give up for the day.I did some more research on my own and heard rummers about PCI USB/Firewire cards sometimes causing problems. I had such a card installed. It was an old Orange Micro card. I removed the card and guess what.. Everything worked just fine. Why it worked with 10.4.11 and not 10.5.1, is beyond me, but there you have it. Oh yeah, I did also install the FULL download of the 10.5.1 upgrade. The Software Update version is a patch, the full download is much more.
Now I need to find a replacement PCI USB/Firewire card that runs with 10.5.1 Anyone have any suggestions?

Cinema Display Sleep Won't Wake on Mouse Move

After the Cinema display sleeps (MBP is still awake), prior to Lion, I would just move the mouse and the display would wake. With Lion, moving the mouse has no effect, and I have to open the MBP to wake the Cinema display.
I use an external monitor, keyboard, and wireless mouse.

I am having the same problem on my MacPro after upgrading to Lion. I had this problem with Leopard originally, and the solution involved resetting the SMC and resetting PRAM. However, those tricks did not work with Lion. Once the display goes to sleep, it will not wake up. The computer itself is fine (configured to never sleep). I can ssh into for example. I note that an attempt to reboot with "sudo shutdown -r now" fails to reboot successfully however and I end up having to powercycle in order to recover my displays. For now, I'm just going to set my "Display sleep" Energy Saver preference to Never to avoid the issue.
For my MacPro: resetting SMC involves:
a) unplug power for 15 seconds
b) plug in power and wait 15 seconds
c) boot
For my MacPro, resetting PRAM involves:
a) When turning on power, hold down command, option, P, and R keys. wait for 2nd beep to indicate PRAM is reset, then release keys

My macbook pro won't go to sleep when I close the lid

I've been having this problem for a couple of years now, and it's getting pretty annoying.
I got this MacBook Pro in April of 2011. Otherwise, it works great. It goes to sleep when I go up to the apple menu and select "sleep." BUT, when I close the lid, it stays on. Heaven forbid I don't have it plugged in, because then the battery will be shot! It also won't go to sleep automatically when I leave it for a long time. Yet another potential battery drain.
How do I fix it so that it goes to sleep automatically when I close the lid and when I leave it alone for a while?
In Energy Saver, I have checked all the boxes necessary: "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" "Wake for network access" and "Automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep."
Am I missing something here, or does my computer just have a defect?

I had the same issue.
I used an external monitor but all of a sudden when I closed the lid my Macbook Pro did not go to sleep!
I solved the problem with a SMC reset.
Try to do it...

Won't Wake From Sleep

I held off from posting this until I'd scoured the boards looking for ideas, but I'm totally out.
Every since I updated to 10.4.8, my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep. I've tried resetting the SMU and PRAM, enabled and disabled bluetooth device wake from sleep, and installed the latest EFI Firmware update that was just released. I've now narrowed it down to the 10.4.8 and a change in how it handles Expresscards. If I have my NitroAV FW 800 card plugged in during a session, it seems to prevent the MacBook from going to sleep properly. According to various Console messages, the PCI device prevents the computer from going to sleep, and /or places the computer into System Doze instead, from which it won't wake. The sleep light stays fixed and steady, only disappearing if I press the power button (it only reacts to the power button). From there the screen remains dark and all plugged in device fail to respond. I can hear the drive spin back up.
It reacts the same whether or not I eject the card before putting the computer to sleep. This behavior was not present before installing 10.4.8 and having fallen back on a back up of my 10.4.7 install, can say it's not present in the older OS version. I was hoping last night's EFI firmware update would deal with this, but after having installed it and 10.4.8 anew, I'm having the same old results.
If anyone has any new ideas or can direct me toward how I can make sure the folks at Apple see this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
MacBook Pro 2.16 Ghz Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 GB Ram, 7200 rpm HD, NitroAV ExpressCard FW 800

Using iSight to stop display sleep

Hi
I want to use an old 20" iMac as a simple billboard behind a window, showing an iPhoto slideshow, without any user interactivity. That's the easy part.
However, since there won't people to look at the screen all the time, and there may in fact be continuous hours without any onlooker, I would like to turn off the display after some time, using the Energy Saving preferences. The trick is to turn it back on. Since there is no keyboard or mouse (slideshow folder will be updated via VNC or a scheduled script), the only conceivable input method would be the iSight. The trick is therefore to fool OS X into thinking that any motion detected by the iSight is a user interaction that delays or stop display sleep. I don't even want to take a picture when motion is detected.
I researched the various uses of the iSight, and many options are offered to use it as motion detector and security camera. I haven't found anything related to using it as motion detector to simply turn on the screen (or trigger other actions through Automator, for example).
Does anybody have an idea how it can be done?
Another idea would be to use a real motion detector and connect its contact to an old USB mouse button. Less elegant, but workable.
JL

The system does not have a proviso for a "modified half/clamshell mode". If you want the main display off, and the external display on, you will need to attach a keyboard to the computer, and close the display.

Multipoint Server 2012 - Display Sleep

I have several WMS 2012 boxes with Atrust m300 zero clients. I am having an issue since upgrading from WMS 2011 that my zero clients displays don't sleep. The direct connected ps/2 stations display will sleep, but all other clients won't.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn690048.aspx
Per this technet article it sounds like I would need to enable the SessionIdleTimeout regkey to disconnect the idle sessions. I have enabled this key, but it does not appear to be doing anything on my multipoint server.
I guess my question is does anyone with USB attached zero clients have display sleep working in some fashion?

Windows Multipoint Server is not a supported platform at this time. See http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7006589.

We have installed the Client 2 SP3 (IR2) on Windows Multipoint Server
2012. On startup the error "The domain name is not valid. Please try
again" appears. If we click past this error the windows login screen
appears. If you click on the icon of the most recent user the user name
WmsShell appears along with a populated password field. If you press
enter the WmsShell account logs in without problems and the multipoint
server continues to log in and the Novell login screen appears and users
can log in without any problem.
The issue we are having is that the WmsShell account should be logging
in automatically without any intervention. If we uninstall the client
the Multipoint Server logs in correctly but after installing the client
again it comes back. The only thing I can find is this TID 7008643. A
new release of the client seemed to take care of that issue.
