Wake from sleep volume extremely loud after 10.9.4 update

Every time I wake from sleep since the 10.9.4 update, my Mac Pro's volume to my speakers (via headphone jack) seems to be insanely loud despite system prefs showing the volume level at middle. Normally I like to keep my speaker's volume high and turn the system volume down, but it seems like the OSX is ignoring the system volume setting after waking up. It reverts to proper behavior when I hit volume up or down on the keyboard. Anyone notice this?

Reset the NVRAM.
NVRAM reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.

Intel Mac Mini wakes from sleep (for no reason) after installing leopard

My mac mini keeps waking after its been put to sleep (both by selecting sleep by hitting the power button or using the apple menu item.
This only happens now I've upgraded to leopard; with tiger, all was fine.
Any ideas what's going on? The iChat logging in noise blasting through my speakers at 1am last night gave me a bit of a fright!

This may be something like a driver, application or external device which is not fully Leopard compatible, or even a component of MacOS if you upgraded to Leopard rather than did a clean install. To start the process of troubleshooting, first download and install the full 10.5.1 update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1051update.html , even if you have already updated to 10.5.1 using software update. The full updater has been reported to resolve a number of minor issues.
Next, assuming that doesn't resolve it, start up your mini, put it to sleep and then disconnect everything. If it continues to wake unpredictably, the issue is with the mini itself, and you may be best to backup all your data and do an erase and install to resolve any residual issues caused in the upgrade. If, on the other hand, the system remains sleeping, it points to an external device being the culprit, in which case plug each one in, one at a time until you can create the unpredictable waking again. Whichever component was last plugged in, is the primary suspect!

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.

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.

Audio volume low when computer wakes from sleep - os x yosemite

I've been having an issue ever since I upgraded to OS X Yosemite, where the audio volume coming out of my external speakers is extremely low after I wake my computer up from sleep. The only resolution I have found is restarting the computer. Once I do that, the audio volume is great. If I were to boot up my computer after it has been completely shut down, the audio volume is also great. The issue only occurs after sleep. Anyone else having a similar issue? Is there another fix besides restarting the computer?
Speakers: Bose Companion 2 Series II (these are wired, not bluetooth)
Computer: Mac Pro - late 2013 - running Yosemite

This is a BUG. It has been submitted to engineering many times - unfortunately Apple has not done anything about it.   We have 5 Mac Pros, all 5 do the same thing after updating to Yosemite.   The PRAM / SMC reset is useless - we even installed a fresh OS on one of the machines (a suggestion of the level 2 Apple tech) same problem.   Clearly this is a system level bug.   Only way to get it resolved is to keep pounding the bug report site with requests.     The squeaky wheel gets the oil.   The problem is 100% repeatable on the machines that exhibit the bug.
In the mean time set up an applescript with this command and it will reset the sound - do not include the brackets :
<do shell script "sudo killall coreaudiod" with administrator privileges>
Run it every time you wake from sleep and you won't have to deal with the problem ever again.
Pretty lame that Apple has not fixed it even though the problem appears to be pretty widespread.

I lose network connection after MacBook Wakes from Sleep

I upgraded to Mountain Lion on my 27" iMac and 15" MacBook Pro. iMac is doing fine. MacBook Pro, however, when it wakes from sleep, seems to have the network untility crash.
So the computer wakes from sleep, and the little status bar radar thing does its little sweep and doesn't just go solid. . If I click on it, it shows my Airport as connected, but after clicking, it freezes. the second to the bottom bar goes solid and the cursor becomes a spinning beachball. If I open system preferences, and select network, it freezes. The only way I can seem to get back on line is to reboot. I have an airport extreme with an older (g) airport express that I use to beam music to my stereo. The MacBook Pro is about 2009 vintage—you can still get to the battery, HD and memory—and the iMac is a bit later. One of the first 27" models, not quad core.
Anyone else having this problem? What more info would you need to help resolve? I'm a novelist and this is killing my productivity.
Thanks,

Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep. I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable. I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2. This issue is specific to waking from sleep. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable.
This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem.

After installing Lion OSX on Macbook Air, no longer wakes from sleep

Since installing Lion and after update to 10.7.4, Mac book Air no longer wakes from sleep. Have to hold pwr key for a few seconds and restart. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM but no effect.

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If there's no change, do as follows.
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, or by a peripheral device.
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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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.

Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates

G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
I only have a single monitor.
I tried:
o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
o Resetting NVRAM
o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
o Changing the display resolution a few times
o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered.

Crashes after wake from Sleep after 10.8.1 update

2.5 Ghz Mac Mini (mid 2011), 8 Gigs of RAM
Since the day I upgraded to 10.8.1 I have had persistent crashes, 1 every 24 hours or so. It's always shortly after a wake from sleep. In all cases, it is impossible to switch to a random open application. But once I hit that application, no other application will respond to anything, including a Force Quit, or if it will force quit, it won't relaunch. A shut down will hang because an app refuses to quit. I can quit the Finder, but it won't relaunch. Have reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, zapped the PRAM, reset the SMC, checked and extensively tested the HD and RAM. Replaced RAM with original Apple RAM. Didn't help, so I swapped back to the RAM from Crucial. I can't think of anything else to try. Machine does not crash unless it has been asleep. Runs flawlessly when sleep is disabled. After a reboot (usually via a shut down via the power switch, start from scratch, check of the HD integrity, and then a clean restart) the machine will run fine, sleep and wake normally for about 24 hours. As near as I can tell from the logs, the hangs usually begin right after the Time Machine Backup after a wake from sleep finishes. If I don't allow the machine to sleep, there are no problems of any kind. Making me crazy. Did not occur under Lion or the .0 version of Mountain Lion. Is making me crazier than I normally am which is sorta serious.

Any solutions to this problem? I too have this kernel panic, however it only happens about once a week. Always upon wake from sleep as you've indicated.
FYI I don't have intego software, or an APC installed. Nor am I using filevault.
This is on an up to date, MacBook Pro Retina.

BUMP.
I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:

I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

External hard drives ejecting after iMac wakes from sleep.

External hard drive keeps ejecting after iMac wakes from sleep. TM does not recognise, so have to unplug then re plug in Ext HD, only then TM will perform a back up. Not seamless backups. Help to resolve would be grand

Ive got the same problem with a Western Digital 500GB My Book Pro on my iMac Ive tried it on a few other machines and I think its happened on them, I say think because it was only when it had happened a couple of time that I started to take notice of circumstances etc and ive only had the drive a week, downloaded what may be a more uptodate "My Button manager" from the WD site still happened but Ive got this idea that it didnt happen on one machine which may not have had the MyButton thing on at that time, have you solved it yet I am using USB at the moment.

Time Machine turns itself on after my Mac Pro wakes from sleep (every time)

Hi,
I have a 2009 Mac Pro and it currently has Lion on it (10.7.4), but the problem I am about to explain started when the machine was running Snow Leopard, so it doesn't appear to be an OS-specific issue.
I do not currently use Time Machine, I use Carbon Copy Cloner and some online backup solutions to handle backups. I did use Time Machine for a short time on this machine just after it was introduced, but I didn't end up using it for long and the external drive I used for the backups is no longer in service.
The problem is this:
I have Time Machine off and I have all of my drives (I have 4 drives in my Mac and an external drive) set not to be backed up for good measure. Time Machine will stay off like it should except in one instance. If I put my machine to sleep, when my Mac wakes, Time Machine is instantly turned on and I get a warning telling me no backup drive has been selected and that I should pick one. I go into the Time Machine preferences and turn it off. It will remain off (I've checked the preferences to be sure) until the next time the machine is put to sleep. Time Machine will remain off, even through reboots. It is only waking from sleep that causes this.
I've tried zapping the PRAM, getting rid of the Time Machine preferences and even logging into a new, unused user account and testing it from there and the problem continues. This is really starting to annoy me. I wouldn't mind having TM on, but having to click through the warning every time my Mac wakes from sleep is frustrating.
I don't want to have to buy a new external hard drive and let TM backup to the drive because, as I said, I've got my backup solutions handled already and I'm not willing to put yet more money to use a feature I don't need right now.
I've done searches online and asked around and no one has been able to help me yet. So I thought I'd try here.
Anyone have any ideas?

Do you see a wake reason in Applications>Utilities>Console?

IMac will not wake from sleep after 10.4.8 Update

Recently after a couple of software updates my IMac goes to sleep and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not wake it. The option for wake with Bluetooth is checked. I zapped the PRAM and also checked the HD, Nothing has changed. NOTE: No new software or hardware installs were done except for 10.4.8 update and the other mac software updates. This did not happen in prior versions of the OS on my iMac. Is this a new bug?
iMac G5 1.8 (pre iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Bluetooth, Wake from Sleep

I've been dealing with this same issue, have tried everything, but to no avail. After MANY sessions on the phone with Apple tech support, as well as an Apple product specialist, I was advised to erase my computer and do a fresh install. I did an archive an install, which didn't help, but am not thrilled about the prospect of erasing everything and starting over. This problem started after the August 2006 round of updates. I feel it's bluetooth related, because I used a usb keyboard and mouse for a week as a test, with no problem. The funny thing is, I unchecked "allow bluetooth device to wake computer" thinking it might help, but the bluetooth devices continue to wake the computer anyway (except when it refuses to wake, of course!)

MacBook won't automatically wake from sleep after flipping computer open.

The only way my computer both goes to sleep and wakes from sleep is by clicking on the Apple icon and putting it to sleep before closing the lid and by pressing the power button after opening the lid. If I just close the lid without first clicking on "Sleep" under the Apple icon, the computer will continue to run and the Apple on the lid will continue to be lit while the sleep indicator light does not go on. If I just open the lid and do not press the power button, the screen will continue to be black and the sleep indicator light continues to glow. I'm not sure if I reset a system preference or something by mistake, but is there a way to fix this? Or is this an indication of a bigger problem?
Additionally, when my computer is asleep and I unplug my charging iPod, it wakes from sleep (the sleep indicator light goes black while the Apple on the back of the screen lights up). Is this an indication of a bigger problem?
My computer is only about 7 months old, so I am a bit worried if it is starting to show wear and tear already. Thank you for your help!

You're welcome to the Forums.
Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver, and set a time for your System to sleep.
Set both sliders to 10 or 15mins to nod off, when Inactive.
It's never a good idea to plug in or out, while the Computer is sleeping. If someone pokes at your ear while you're sleeping, you'll wake up too.

IMac (Early 2009) always wakes from sleep after Security Update 2010-001

I posted this already in the Snow Leopard section, but wasn't able to get a resolution to the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2309613&tstart=0
I tried all the suggested things, but my iMac still always wakes from sleep and this never happened before the 2010-001 security update. I was asked to paste the console log entry from when this happens, so here it is:
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel Wake reason = OHC2
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel System Wake
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel USB (OHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x6 has remote wakeup from some device
I'm wondering if others have seen this and if so know of a solution. At the moment I'm stuck with having to shutdown my iMac every time I leave it. Thanks.

Here is a solution that should work:
1. Turn off all Bluetooth devices connected to your computer.
2. Make sure Bluetooth icon in the Menu Bar is black (BT is On) and BT is not connected to anything
3. Plug in a USB mouse
4. Go to System Preferences>Bluetooth>Advanced
5. The option to "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" should now be uncheckable>Uncheck it and click OK
6. Turn on your Bluetooth devices and let them connect to your Mac
7. Try and put your Mac to sleep and then wake with the power button
8. Check if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (it should be)
9. Try and restart your Mac and check again if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (I had mixed results with this test, depending on the type of the Mac being tested)
Anyhow, this way you should be able to uncheck the option that causes the issue and it should not get checked again by itself unless you restart your computer and maybe even after that. If it does get checked again after reboot, just get used to putting your Mac only to sleep until a fix from Apple is available or repeat the above process after every reboot if necessary.
Hope this helps.
