What makes my screen change after going to sleep?

I have os10.9.2 and since I installed it 6 weeks ago my screen changes sizes after it wakes up. I have a mac mini.

At the bottom of your thing it says you are using 10.7.1. Is this correct? If so, run Software Update first, and see where that takes ya. From there, if you are still having issues with the black screen, try opening Disk Utility, and hit Verify Disk. If this comes up with errors, re-start your computer holding the Option button down, from there, select Recovery Disk as your start up disk. You will be able to locate Disk Utility in there, and you can Repair Disk from there.
If it does repair disk successfully, that could be part of the problem. If that doesn't work, follow the steps in this article to reset PRAM/NVRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Even still, if that doesn't seem to correct the problem, i would back up everything on your computer to an external harddrive, erase, and re-install 10.6, run Software Update a few times, check the app store for the digital download of Lion....you should not need to "buy" this again, it should see it in the purchased section..
Update again with Software Update when you get the successful re-installation of Lion. I'm not 100% positive with the whole re-installation steps, if it walks you through going through the Migration Assistant or not, but even if it doesn't, that's okay. You can still locate Migration Assistant via the Utilities folder and bring back all your Time Machine stuff again.
Still if you want to dig even deeper to see if there is a problem with your hardware, you can run Apple Hardware Test. Check this article for steps...http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509

My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep. When waking it up I have to manually re-connect. How do I keep it connected?

My new Mac Air continues to disconnect from WiFi after going to sleep. When waking it up I have to manually re-connect. How do I keep it connected?

I had this problem too and solved it by doing a clean install. After that it was gone.
This is a drastic method since it takes quite some time to reinstall lion and all your software.
Thoughts I had why it started working after a clean install are the following:
It looked like the airport wasn't able to reconnect fast enough before the connection timed out. So what could have prevented my mac from being able to connect fast enough?
Apps that consume processor cycles. I love what I would call 'System Enhancers', little apps that enhance my workflow (Moom, Alfred, Dropbox, Default Folder etc). I'm not saying that these are the problem, they might be programmed processor friendly, but check if you have apps that consume processor cylcles. It might prevent airport from being able to reconnect quickly enough before it times out.
Mobile Config profiles. Another thought I had was that I had a mobile config 802.1X profile installed for the company were I worked. It used TTLS to connect to the corporate network. This profile might have gotten in the way.
And a sidenote...
Routers with hardware acceleration might also be a problem. My router is a Wireless Gigabit Router 300N WL-351 and has hardware acceleration. As soon as I activate that my wifi connection keeps dropping. It is as if a Macbook Air can't handle that amount of optimisation.
That's it, hope it helps those who are still having the problem.
Best, Jan

HP Envy shutting down after going into sleep mode

Hi. I'm not sure where to post this so I'll try it here.
My laptop shut downs automatically when it goes into sleep mode. Not right away when going into sleep mode. Maybe like an hour later after going into sleep mode.
I'm not sure it's overheating because it never shuts down while I'm actually using the laptop.
Do you guy have any idea how to fix this?
Product name and number: HP ENVY TouchSmart Sleekbook 4-1115dx
Operating System: Window 8
Error Message: None
Any changes to your system before problem occurred: No

Hey Tecmo_SB_Guy,
I would suggest you take a look at advanced power settings. It can seem like the notebook is turning off when it is actually just hibernating. You can set it to not hibernate.
1. Windows key + Q to open the Search Bar
2. Type "power"
3. Click Settings under the Search Bar
4. Select Power Options from the results on the left.
5. In Power Options, Click Change when the computer sleeps, on the left.
6. Set the Put the computer to sleep setting so that it fits your usage best.
7. Click Change advanced power settings, at the bottom.
8. Expand Sleep and expand Hibernate after. If you want you can change the hibernation setting to Never by typing "Never" into the minutes field. See attached picture. You can do this for battery and/or plugged in.
9. Click Apply to save changes.
If you don't already shut it down periodically, I would suggest shutting it down at least 2-3 times a week if you use it daily. Leaving the computer running continuously can shorten its lifespan. Hard drive failures and motherboard issues are seen much more often on machines that are left running constantly. Computers get bogged down and run slowly when the memory is full. Memory only clears out and resets itself when the computer is shut down. Here is a link explaining more about memory accumulation and hardware aging.
I hope these suggestions help! Please let me know if you have any questions

Power Mac G4 loses internet connection after going to sleep

Run down of computer: I have a Power Mac G4 tower, PANTHER OSX. I have wireless internet through our cable company—I use a wireless router. When I am connected to the internet, and browsing the web or something, if I let the computer go to sleep, it loses connection. I have to go back up to the little signal icon and reconnect to my wireless network.
I suspected it might be a setting through the router, but when my computer was comletely unplugged, and absent from the apartment, the other computer (G5 imac–TIGER) which was having the same problem, suddenly was staying connected even after going to sleep. When my computer came back home and was hooked back up, suddenly the other computer had the same problem again. So, I concluded that my G4 tower was the culprit, and perhaps not the router. We share a wirless network, so it's not surprising that this is the case.
I know there must be a setting somewhere in preferences or something that is telling the computer to disconnect from network when computer sleeps. I have looked everywhere, and can not figure it out.
It's really annoying to have to reconnect each time I use my computer. And just to reiterate, I get internet through a cable modem using my airport card, so please answer the question with this in mind as settings are totally different from dial-up. I do not use PPP.
Anyone experience this problem? Or know how to help?

Tried that too! Notta.
This one's really a pickle! Even the Mac specialist at my office was baffled! He suggested shortening the name of my computer...(Jamie Cendroski's computer)...I didn't really understand how this had anything to do with it...but he's supposed to be the expert. He also suggested trashing my keychains and making new ones. I messed around with them, but I don't know enough about this stuff to be bold enough to trash them yet. I'll do a little more research before I do so. I think he might be onto something with the keychains though..?

Blank scrren after going to sleep

When making a phone call the screen seems to go to sleep. When it is time to hang up the screen is black and it takes 5-10 second for the screen to come back on. The last time it happened it I had to turn the phone off then back on. This also happened while checking messages. Any solutions?

Well, sounds fairly normal or typical behavior for the iPhone. The display is designed to go sleep when not in direct use, ie being touched; the interval for going to sleep is adjustable in Settings. And during a phone call, say with the phone up to your ear, there is no touch upon the screen, so it goes to sleep. It does take a few seconds, though it seems to me it's only like 2-3 secs, for the screen to re-appear so one can click the End Call button. Ditto for checking messages or email, particularly if the email is updating and there is no touch on the screen.

Mac won't re-start after going to sleep

Since installing a new version of FaxstfPro (version 10.7), my MAC won't re-start after going to sleep. I have to re-boot to get the system started again.
Thanks for any ideas on how to re-store the sleep fucntion.

Thanks for the excellent tip. From reading the bluetooth advisories, I realized that my D-link was incorrectly installed in a UBS hub. Moving it to a direct UBS port resolved the problem.
During the trouble shooting process, I found that I do not have a Bluetooth setup assistant. I have recently installed OS X 10.4.6 and also applied the Bluetooth firmware update, but I can not find the Bluetooth setup assistant in Utilites, and a search via Finder didn't locate it either. And I can't find the software in the .Mac downloads.
Any suggestions on how to restore the assistant?

T400 does NOT wake up after going to sleep

T400 does not wake up after going into sleep. It goes to sleep ok but everytime wheni try to wake it, it restart the whole system instead of waking up.
I have checked the BIOS Security setting and it already set on Active. All drivers are upto date.
Please help!!
Message Edited by farooqjilani on 03-09-2009 08:23 AM

I have a similar issue with a T400 (xp sp2).
suddenly, it won´t come back from sleep. i have to press & hold the power button to turn off the computer, and then press again to turn it on from scratch.

ThinkPad T420i won't wake up after going to sleep.

My T420i won't wake up after going to sleep (using Fn F4 or close the laptop or time out). The computer was wiped clean and reinstalled with only Windows 7 professional and some Levono softwares. BIOS, windows and all drivers are up to date. The only way to get it back is hold the power button to reboot it. When it reboots, i get improperly windows shut down error.

I'd guess it's ACPI related issue. Check out ACPI driver and correspondent items in Control panel.
Energy report might be helpful too ("powercfg -energy" command within console window with administrator rights)

New Macbook air screen won't wake up after going to sleep - what's this?

When watching a movie on Netflix, for example, since I'm not touching the keyboard, the computer goes to sleep - sort of. The screen fades briefly and if I fail to notice quickly enough to touch a key, the screen goes black. The sound continues, however, and the keyboard is lit. I can't wake the screen back up. I have to restart it.
I've had the computer for less than a week.
What's going on - is my new MacBook Air defective or is there something I can do to stop this annoying glitch from occurring?

There is no need to diagnose such an issue, you just bought it and paid for service and 14 day exchange.
Return it for another unit, others here will concur on that fact.

What passwords should be changed after OAS cluster build?

I have completed a cluster installation of Fusion Middleware and AIA 2.2.x. I would like to know what passwords should be changed other than oc4jadmin.

hi,
First of all changing password of oc4jadmin on cluster is bit tricky. make sure you follow the steps correctly. I assume you know these steps.
It is not advised to use oc4jadmin for normal monitoring, admin and configuration changes task in application server control. you should create following user with corresponding privileges. Please refer to http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/core.1013/b28940/tools.htm#BEIDJGID
ascontrol_admin : Assign this role to administrators who need complete administrative privileges and access to the Application Server Control application and pages. You can consider these administrators the "super users" assigned to manage your Oracle Application Server and OC4J environment.
ascontrol_appadmin : Assign this role to administrators who need to manage all deployed applications, except the default and Application Server Control (ascontrol) applications. These administrators can manage the applications you deploy, but they cannot create new administrative users or make global configuration changes.
ascontrol_monitor : Assign this role to administrators who must monitor the Oracle Application Server and OC4J environment, but do not need to make any configuration changes to the applications or the OC4J instance. This role is essentially a read-only role.
Also, you would want to create user for monitoring in BPEL, ESB, AIA console. This user should have following roles:
AIAUser
BPMAnalyst
BPMDefaultDomainAdmin
Supervisor
Ascontrol_monitor

System Number in License screen changed after system copy

I have completed a Homogeneous system copy from GTP (Global Trade Production) to GTQ (Global Trade QAS). After the copy the system number in the SLICENSE screen changed from the original number when I first created GTQ to the system number listed in GTP. Now my permanent license key for GTQ will not work because the system number is different. Is there a way to change that system number so the License key will install?
Thanks
David

No. Thats not possible.
You need to update the info and request a new license at SAP Service Marketplace and install it on your system.

What do I do if an iPod shuts down after going into sleep mode

My friends iPod keeps shutting down after it goes into sleep mode. I just fixed it up (restored it, had to dry it out after it fell into water) and now it does that. Everything else works fine but if I put it in sleep mode or put it into sleep mode it shuts down. How do I fix this because I've never seen this happen before.

How do I "copy" a project to make needed edit changes after uploading to Youtube?

I have imovie 2013. After uploading a project to Youtube, I needed to make an edit. I deleted the video from Youtube and did the needed edit using my original project. After re-uploading it to Youtube, I saw that the edit did not appear...it was still the original video.
I figured I needed to create a new project with a new project name, make the necessary edit, and then upload this second, edited project. Of course, I don't want to start from scratch and I want to "copy and paste" the old version to the new version, make the needed change, etc. I have no idea how to do this. Is there a simpler way than how I am attempting to do this? Thanks for any advice.

Hi Roy,
Click on your original movie (project) in the Event so that it is highlighted. From iMovie's menu select Edit > Duplicate Movie. A copy will be placed in the Event below the original. It will have the same name but with a number appended (number 1, given that this is the first duplicate). You can rename the duplicate if desired. You can also make as many duplicates as required. Projects (including duplicates) don't take up much space as they basically link to the media in the Event (as well as keep track of your edits, transitions, titles, music and so forth).
Edit the duplicate and upload it to YouTube. It should be treated as a separate movie.

Thanks.

Hello JL,
VKM1 provides you with the list of credit blocked sales documents, VKM2 - with already released documents, in VKM3 you can enter any sales order number (independent from the credit status), in the VKM5 you can enter any delivery number and VKM4 provides with a list of the documents according your selection criteria.
In all these transactions you can: 1. release the sales document - (select SO, release and save). The credit status will be changed to D (released), the ATP will be done and you get the confirmed quantity and so on).
2. Reject - the sales order will be rejected and saved - the same as if you go into VA02 and reject the order manually 3. forward - the sales order will be forwarded to another credit representative for releasing 4. forward to authorization - if the sales order is covered by the credit card, the system executes a new authorization (if necessary) and saves the sales order.
I hope this information helps you.
Best regards,
Lela
