Why won't my MacBook Air wake up when it's supposed to?

Hello, marjoriefromcamano island.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Why won't my Mac Pro wake up?

If I put my Mac Pro to sleep, it will not wake up normally. That is, tapping on the space bar, or moving the mouse, do not wake up the computer. I have to press on the power button for a few seconds, listen for the click. (so, manual shut down) Then I press the power button again, and the computer starts up.
Also, shut down though computer prompts is not sufficient. I ALWAYS have to use manual shut down to be effective.
I've talked to apple support a lot, no solution. I brought my Mac Pro to the apple store today, they thought they'd identified the culprit: My wacom tablet.
At the store, with no Wacom tablet, the computer did wake up from sleep-- I think. It definitely started up normally after a computer prompted shut down. (I mean a shut down achieved with the command under the apple logo on the computer...
But when I brought the computer back home I had the same problem, even when it wasn't connected to my Wacom tablet.
Other thing: If the computer is asleep and I un plug it, then plug it in again to power strip, it will wake up! So is it possible that I'm not getting enough juice coming into my computer?
Thanks, if anyone has any ideas I would be glad to hear them.

You need to plug the keyboard into a USB port on the chassis to have the Startup "snag keys" be recognized as well.
The USB ports on the keyboard only has enough power for ONE low power mouse. Do not plug anything else into those ports, not even a Flash Drive.
The mouse down/up scrolling default is the iPhone direction. You can change it with a checkbox in System Preferences > Mouse

Why won't my Mac Air Book(running 10.8.5) suddenly not recognize my USB Flash Drive?

Today I cant see my Flash Drive or Hard drive on my desktop when inserted into USB port. What can I do to see and use them? This has not been a problem before.

Hi all -
I cannot view my flash drive OR my office server, which I should be able to connect to via VPN. VPN was installed on my Macbook Pro at my office on Friday. It worked fine. Now I bring it home, and I connect using VPN, and it shows that I am connected, yet the server hard drive icon does not appear on my desktop (as it usually did) and I can't see how to access the server at work.
I also cannot view flash drives when I plug them in - they just don't show up.
I had Norton installed; I read online I should disable that. I did this, and no luck. I also have already done all the things suggested on this post and have all the boxes checked, and yet, still cannot use a flash drive or access my work server.
I am stuck? Do I have to bring my Macbook pro in for service? I have NOT upgraded to Mavericks.
Thanks for any help.
I am not that well versed in finding my way around a Mac - so keep any explanations simple, please.

Why won't my MAC recognize a DVD with JPG...HELP!!!

I have received 3 different DVD's from this photographer in an effort for me to be able to view my pictures. None of them work!! She has now given me a cd and it works fine!?!!? Why won't my Mac recognize the DVDs??

A friend of mine turns out a lot of DVD's for and organization that he does photo work for and he has found
that burning DVD + or - can make a diferance along with the age of the player and he has gone back to
burning them at the slowest speed possible. (people in the organization sends him old pictures that he fixes
then burnes a DVD for them and returnes the pictures and DVD.)

Why won't my Mac Pro load things without locking up ?

Why won't my Mac Pro load things or let me do a "save as" without locking up ? I have tried to run the Apple Hardware Test and it locks up as well.

you have anitebook in forum for 65lbs towers
youneed to repair your disk directory or erase and restore
and use Recovery Mode in 10.7 and later
AHT does not lick up, not unless your laptop RAM or mobo has failed totally and died, more common for laptops that overheat, sufferwater damage, but still...
depends on how new what to do, might try macbookmpro forum.

Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up. Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
Is it on a network?
Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

Why won't my Mac Pro go to sleep?

Hi X,
I've been having the same problem of mac pro not going to sleep. I think its to do with some universal audio drivers installed with a recent hardware interface I've added.
the terminal app in response to above line reads;
com.uaudio.driver.UAD2System(6.3.1)
com.uaudio.driver.UAFWAudio(4.0.0
com.digidesign.iokit.DigiDal(9.0.6f4)
com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.snowleopard(5.8)
launch agents (in user)
com.adobe.ARM.202f4087f2bbde52e3ac2df389f53a4f123223c9cc56a8fd83a6f7ae.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
com.google.keystone.agent.plist
launch agents and daemons - too many to list
any idea from this or would you need to see all the files you listed in Mona Gorillas query?
appreciate your input

Tell us, what hardware add ons?
old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
does it happen iwth a clean install?
how about if you do a Safe Boot?

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?

Why won't my Mac recognize Verbatim Dual Layer blank DVDs?
I've just completed a 140 minute project in FCP. I've encoded an MPEG2 file that is 5.75GB in size. Brought into DVDSP and am trying to burn the DVD.
I have Final Cut Studio 1, latest updates and everything.
Because of the 5.75GB size I need to burn to Dual Layer DVD. I have Verbatim 4x 8.56GB dual layer DVDs.
When I click buld/burn and pop in a dual layer DVD I get an error saying "please insert compatible disc".
Even with every app closed. If I put one of these DVDs in my Mac it simply spits it out after about 20 seconds.
For some reason the Mac won't handle or understand these Dual Layer DVDs.
I bought this Mac Pro about 4 months ago and it is the 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon machine and the DVD drive (according to system profiler) is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D. In system profiler it says "Pioneer DVD-RW DVD-111D"
Can anyone tell me if this DVD player is actually capable of dual layer, or do I need to buy one.
In System Profiler under Revision it says: AB09 and under Protocol it says: ATAPI
Can anyone advise please?

If you have access to a pc into which you can install the 112, or if you have bootcamp, you can replace the Apple supplied firmware with Pioneer firmware. This should restore full functionality to the drive. The latest Pioneer firmware for the drive is version 1.21 and can be found here: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1426
