Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.

Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
Any help appreciated
Oh yes I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?

Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

Help please!

Windows shuts down Premier Elements 9 randomly

I have a more than adequate Windows 7 based computer. My hard drive died before Christmas and I had to reinstall the software. I created a new project with captured video and added some background music. Did not save often unfortunately and lost it all when windows shut down the program. Recreated it from scratch, saving often and still had occasional shut downs while creating the project. It's only about a 30min video with some added sound tracks and a few title screens. Now, when trying to make a DVD, it gets through Encoding 4 Menus and will begin encoding media. Sometimes makes it 7% sometimes 80% and then windows message says program has stopped working, shutting down. I see progress bar was still moving just seconds before the shutdown. Tried to convert to an MPEG and save on my computer instead and got the same shutdown notice. I just saw the FFDShow codec note and have not checked to see if that is on my computer or not. Would deleting this folder potentially solve this? Forgot to mention, Premier Elements is on non partitioned C drive with 100+GIG free space, save location is on a partitioned drive F with 300+GIG free space.

Is there an update link for Premier 9? I saw one come through this morning for 9.0.3 but the one in your "Hangs UP" thread is only for 9.0.1. Tried to update to 9.0.3 but would not connect to Adobe server this morning.

Shuts down instead of sleep

I have tried everything! I have even restored to factory settings and the problem still exists. Instead of going to sleep my computer shuts down. I have checked power options and they look fine however when I change anything in the options it still shuts down instead of sleeps. I am thinking this must be a windows update issue but don't know which one. I have tried everything on every forum I found but no luck. Please help!
TIA

Not sure what to look for with USB software, I haven't really installed
anything that I know of is there a list of this USB online somewhere? The
laptop was new in August 2014, I got the Windows 8.1 update like the other
person did and it took forever. I think he counted 120 software updates. I
did not count them but it sure took a long time. That was about 3 months
later in November. Ever since then I've had the same problem and have tried
different things to circumvent it. It certainly appears to me that the
Lenovo has a severe bug in wakening from hibernate in 8.1 that was not
there in 8.0. And they should fix it. I'm about ready to throw the darn
thing out. Most of the time it doesn't come back from hibernate, you can
hear the fan run when you open the lid but it does not come up. other times
it does nothing until you press and hold down power. I thought HP was bad.
Makes me scream Apple!

Shutting down instead of sleeping..

For some reason, my Mac keeps shutting down instead of going to sleep. I've checked all the settings and nothing I can find is set to shut down. Any idea what is going on? Possibly related... my Dashboard stuff keeps disappearing (see post in Finder,Dock discussions) Hope someone can help!

Any time you have problems with power management or sleep/wake or shutdown/boot there are a few basic steps to try. These apply both to Tiger (10.4.x) and Leopard (10.5.x) versions of the Mac OS.
First, reset the low level controller in your computer that handles power management and sleep/wake functions (including scheduled events). In an intel-based Mac that is the SMC. In a powePC-based Mac that is the PMU. To do this, go to the main Support page here and search for "reset SMC" or "reset PMU" as is appropriate in the search field at the top LEFT of that page. In the list of Knowledge Base articles returned, find the instructions specific to your model of Mac. It is not tough to do, but you do have to find the instructions for your specific Mac. Note that resetting a PMU may require you to manually adjust the date and time (System Preferences / Date & Time) the next time you log in.
Next, reset the Parameter memory (PRAM). PRAM holds copies of various system settings for rapid access and if it gets out of whack all sorts of odd things can happen. The instructions for resetting PRAM are the same for all Macs. Shut Down the computer. Locate the 4 keys Apple-Option-P-R. Press and hold those 4 keys, and while doing so, press and release the power button. Keep those 4 keys held down until you hear the SECOND startup chime, then release them. Your computer will continue to boot up normally.
Finally, perform a Safe Mode boot. A Safe Mode boot does some maintenance tasks in the background such as repairing critical system file permissions and deleting some cache files, etc. To do a Safe Mode boot, hold the "shift" key while booting until you see the spinning gear on the gray Apple screen. Be patient, this will take a while. Eventually you will get to a log in window that includes a notation that you are booted in Safe Mode. No need to log in as the maintenance stuff has already happened. So just Shut Down from there and reboot normally.
If your Sleep problem persists after these three steps, take a look in the Console to see if any helpful error messages are being thrown (Applications / Utilities / Console -- select "All Messages" in the column on the left). Now even during a NORMAL boot and log in, there are a lot of Console messages generated, some of which can look pretty scary if you are not used to them. But a normal Sleep or Shut Down should generate very few messages, so scroll back in the list to the time where you tried to put the computer to Sleep and see what you find.

My computer shuts down instead of sleeps when battery drains...

Hi there!
So, I just got a new MacBook Pro (the better 15" one) in June. I've noticed, however, that when my battery drains, and the little warning comes up that says "your computer will go to sleep in a few minutes to preserve data," if I let it run all the way out, it doesn't go to sleep but just shuts down. When I reopen my computer after plugging it in, all my stuff is back, but I do have to press the power button and start it up again.
My old computer (White MacBook 2006) always actually went to sleep, and only if I let it sleep for a long time did it shut off.
Have they changed the behavior? Do the laptops only shut down, and no longer sleep when the battery is gone? Or is something wrong with my computer. I'm getting all my data back, and all the windows and stuff are still open, so that's not a problem for me, but if my computer is working incorrectly only three months after buying it, then I'd like to know...
Thanks! Let me know what further information you need to help!

Your computer is not shutting down — it's hibernating, also called "safe sleep". This is indicated by the fact that everything you were working on is undisturbed when you wake it by pressing the power button.
The contents of RAM are written to the hard drive before the machine enters safe sleep, so that if the battery drains completely before you wake it, the contents of RAM (including your unsaved work) won't be completely lost. This is different from ordinary sleep, in which the machine simply suspends all activity without writing anything to disk. If the machine went into ordinary sleep after giving you a low-battery warning and not getting any cooperation from you (i.e. you didn't heed the warning and plug in AC power), and then you didn't wake it for twelve or fifteen hours, the battery might have gone completely dead and your unsaved work would be lost.
In short, yes, this is new behavior compared to several years ago, and from what you tell us, your machine is working exactly as it's supposed to.

Portege M300 hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen

The computer hangs after "Windows shuts down" comes up on the screen. The same happens in hibernation mode. I have to turn off the computer by holding the on/off button.
I have updated my bios, installed all windows updates that are available and done a numer of other things. It startd just out of the blue. Any ideas?

Hi
Does it happen after the OS installation from the Toshiba recovery CD???
Did you install any further programs???
I have noticed a similar freezing on my notebook. Mostly it happened because the background process did not close and therefore the notebook could not force the shut down. In my case it was a adobe acrobat reader which could not close.
I think you should defragment you HDD and use the CCleaner freeware application.
This program cleans program errors and corrects the registry entries.
Try it! Maybe its not a serious issue!

After installing Mac OS 10.5.8 my 2005 iMac G5 shuts down instead of sleeping

After install of OS 10.5.8 my iMac G5 - 2005 model, no Intel processor - whenever I choose sleep from the Apple menu or the time-out goes to sleep mode the computer shuts down instead of sleeping. Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try using Disk Utility t repair your disk
   1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
   2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
      Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
   3. Click the First Aid tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then reboot and repair permissions from your internal drive.

My Power Mac G4 shut down instead of sleeping

Is there anyone out there having this problem..?
When I put my PM to sleep it shut down instead. If I try to restart it right away it starts booting but fails after a couple of seconds and shut down again. If I wait for a longer while it starts like it should!?
I have tried to replace the backup battery with no luck.
Power Mac G4 "Quicksilver" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi! - I had a similar problem with my G4 which I bought second hand. It would sleep and then when I tried to awaken it - it would then shut down. Long story short - it had a third party Airport card which I removed as I did not need it - problem solved! Seemingly third party bits and pieces can sometimes cause this problem.
Hope this helps.

IMac shuts down instead of sleeping

Hi everybody. Forum newbie here. I'm having a bit of trouble with my iMac. First of all, it's a G5 with 2.0 GB of facory installed RAM, and running OSX 10.4. I bought it barely used from a friend and when I first got it in the spring it shut down instead of going to sleep a couple of times. It wasn't a big deal, since it was overnight and not in use at the time. From then on it was fine. Over the past few days however, it has started doing this again, and much more aggressively.
It seems that it doesn't go to sleep at all anymore. It just shuts down. If you put it to sleep it will shut down. If it goes to sleep on its own, it shuts down. I went into the preferences panel and set it so it never goes to sleep and the monitor shuts down after 2 hours. I left it and went back to it after about 20 minutes and it had shut down. This happened repeatedly last night, causing me to waste 6 or 7 DVD-R, as I was attempting to burn one and it would shut down during the burning process. I had a pretty bad case of computer-induced Tourrette's syndrome I've gotta say.
As long as it's in use, there's no problem, but if you leave it alone for any length of time over say 20 minutes it seems that it's going to shut down regardless of your energy saving settings. And it doesn't seem to sleep at all anymore.
I do lots of video work and between burning DVDs and rendering video, I frequently need to leave the computer alone and let it do its thing. If it's going to shut down every time I leave it alone, then that makes my work impossible, or at least extremely annoying as I will have to run back and forth every 10 minutes to jiggle the mouse to make sure it doesn't go to sleep.
Anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it? Thanks so much!
iMac G5, eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome to Discussions. Which model do you have? If it's a Rev A (not ambient light and no iSight), then you might qualify for the Repair Extension Program. In any case, try and reset your PMU/SMU. PLease post back,

Why is my computer shutting down instead of sleeping?

My comptuer is shutting down instead of sleeping. I have looked at my preferences a million times and nothing has changed regarding my sleep time or any other options.
I looked at another forum answer and tried resetting the SMU by unplugging the cord and holding the power button. That did not solve my problem. What should my next steps be? Should I reset PRAM? Should I suck it up and deal and bring it into a store? I am covered until October.
Please help. Thanks!

IMac G5 shuts down instead of going to sleep

Recently, my G5 iMac started shutting down instead of going to sleep. I have reset all of the sleep controls but it still shuts down. Does anyone have any ideas? I am running 10.5.5

Have you vacuumed the fans and the air vents? You can also reset the [SMU|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908] and check in Console>system log for any messages about "maximum temperature exceeded for 30 seconds".

MacBook pro shuts down instead of sleeping while connected to power adapter

Hi there,
I am currently facing a rather strange issue. My old MacBook pro (about 2 years old) shuts down instead of sleeping but only when it is connected to the power adapter. I mean it goes to sleep mode perfectly well when it works only with the battery. Is it a know issue ? I'm running 10.5.6 and this problem is quite new to me (happened the first time some weeks ago).
Thank you in advance for your answer.

You might try resetting the SMC and see if this helps:

Shuts down instead of logging in

When I go to log in, my computer shuts down instead of logging in, after I've entered my password and hit enter.
My computer has been acting a little odd lately, closing Safari while I'm using it, freezing for unusually long periods of time, etc. I had my hard-drive replaced almost a year ago (it's a 2012 Mac), so I don't know if this is part of a bigger issue? I really need this to be fixed for school.

If you do not have a backup, please do so (if you can).
Try running an Apple Hardware test:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201257
Note that an error free AHT is not definitive.
I would also reinstall the OSX.
Ciao.

Installed 7.1 on new Dell. Windows shuts down as result of "nixsrk.dll" problem.

I installed LV 7.1 on new Dell with XP.While running the LV application, Windows shuts down to prevent damage to computer as result of "nixsrk.dll" problem. What is the fix?
Thanks,

How is your application architected? Are you making calls to DLLs using a Call Library Function Node? It might be that for some reason some of the components for your application were installed correctly on the Dell computers. I would suggest that you try some other application and make sure whether the issue is with your application or LabVIEW installation.
