Won't wake at first. Then wakes after restart attempts as if nothing was wrong!

Hi guys. This has happened twice now so I know I'd better find out what's going on because something's wrong and I'm being given a warning.
I closed the computer lid. I came back hours later; opened it up and it wouldn't wake up. I shut it down by holding down the power button, then started it back up. The system won't restart but the fan comes on. Then I do this several times. I try the P-ram restart method also. Eventually, it wakes from sleep just as if none of those restart attempts had been made! That is, there was my Safari layout just the way I'd left it and everything was operational!
What is going on. What needs to be fixed? Thanks.

It's possible the system is entering deeper hibernation (depends on what year model it is). But if that's the case, wait longer... Open the lid and just give it a minute or so. See if the screen eventually displays properly.

My computer shut down in the middle of downloading a movie rental and after restarting my computer, the rental was deleted. How do I get it back without paying for it again?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

IMac won't search for trackpad and keyboard after restart

I've recently experienced problems using the trackpad and keyboard to wake up my iMac. Twice in the last 2 months we have been unable to wake the mac, so we would use the power button to restart it, and when it came back on again the keyboard and trackpad would be fine.
However, the same thing happened yesterday and when we restarted the mac it refused to search for the bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. normally if we have an issue we'd get the "connection lost" then "connected' message, but none of that is happening. Both devices are on, and the batteries are fine. I've tried using a usb mouse but there's no response with that either. We're stuck on the log in screen

The classic turn off and on (disconnect power cable etc)? Just gave that a try, didn't work I'm afraid. Thanks for your reply though Barry.

X230 with windows 7 still won't connect to any bluetooth devices after many attempted solutions

My starting point:
I have 6 month old x230 with windows 7, all windows and lenovo updates already completed. The bluetooth logo exists on the bottom of screen but when I try to "add device" it doesn't recognize any bluetooth devices. I've tried this with speakers from 3 different companies. I have updated the bluetooth drivers, the windows and lenovo programs say "device is working properly". Nothing wierd in device manager. I have microsoft bluetooth enumerator and thinkpad bluetooth 4.0. One time for about 30 minutes it worked on a ECOXGEAR bluetooth speaker but then also stopped.
Since then:
I enabled settings in BT control panel, BT is enabled in BIOS, BT wireless on, have tried to rollback driver to previous versions of BT but not possible, devices still do not show up in Add new device window.
Latest update:
I have uninstalled the lenovo bluetooth software following a suggestion and now my laptop no longer has bluetooth capacity at all - it seems when uninstallig the lenovo bluetooth sw the microsoft sw uninstalls as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Seems BT audio profiles your speakers need are absent in the sw installed on the laptop. Try BlueSoleli or Toshiba BT drivers, both of them might have needed audio profiles. Toshiba stack seems a bit better quality but needs some tweaks for installation.

Why won't OS 10.4 remember printer after restart?

Ever since I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4, my desktop computer will not remember my printer or my DLink wireless system. I have to reset my printer settings each time, and reconfigure my network/wireless settings. This occurs only on my desktop G-4, not my laptop G-4.

It could be a permissions problem. So try repair permissions with the Disk Utility. It could also be a problem with a preference file. There is a freeware utility called Preferential Treatment which tests all your preference files. If you are connecting to the router wirelessly, you might check that your network is actually a preferred network to join, and also lock your network settings.
Good luck!

My iPhone keeps resuming playback after certain tasks even if nothing was playing

When doing certain things on my iPhone like using Siri or watching a video if I'm listening to music then the music pauses while the thing is happening and then it resumes once the thing has finished.
However recently (since iOS 6) when I use Siri but I'm not listening to anything it still resumes what I was last listening to.
The biggest issue lately was this morning when my alarm went off I turned it off quickly to avoid waking up my girlfriend, but then my music started blaring out and woke her up (she was not amused).
Has anybody else experienced this?

Do you have a strong connection near your room? I find it troublesome if you trying to connect to a wifi which only one bar the chances of connecting to it is hard. You either get connected or really slow internet. Attempt to get closer and try connect and then go to your room.
You might see a bar drops when you close your room door too

IPod shuffle snyc starts then stops after 2 seconds

iPod shuffle snyc starts then stops after 2 seconds

If there is nothing new to automatically sync to the shuffle from your iTunes library, the sync probably lasts about two seconds...
What are expecting the iTunes and the shuffle to do, when click the Sync button?

Imac won't play songs from my iPhone after I have authorised it

My solution was restoring my iPhone. Techs at Apple couldn't figure out why so I had to do a restore and worked after that. I know it's a pain and you have to reinstall all you stuff, but it worked for me. Hope this helps.

After restart, desk top display vanished; how do I get it back?

I restarted Mac Pro, OSX 10.8.4 and the desk top screen vanished. Click finder icon and it returned. How do I get it back to
automatic display of all folders; etc. without clicking finder each start up?

Yes, I did repair permissions .then I shut down, 3 minutes I Boot up as normal the desktop
screen popped up as always so I hope it fixed itself. I have not tried to restart since. Leave
well enough alone -- till I MUST restart. Only the desktop display (folders, pdfs;etc which I put
there) were gone. Dock was in place. I clicked the finder icon in the dock and all folders popped
up as if nothing was wrong. All the folders, apps. pdfs opened as normal.
Much obliged to you, d00dbro, for the response. I will continue my usual use and not make
things worse with my novice tinkering.

Iphone requires password after restarting??

Hi.
My iPhone broke so my brother gave me his old 4s. I got it and it was jailbroken so i did a complete factory reset and updated it to the latest firmware. I gave it a full charge and the next day once it went to about 80% it turned off randomly, i tried turning it on, sometimes it would other times i would need to put it in charge again. It would always say once i had turned it on "Iphone requires password after restarting" so i assumed it was possibly a battery problem. So i bought a battery from ebay with decent ratings and replaced it. The iPhone no longer turns off every 10 minutes, but the battery does only last about 3-4 hours and usually once it goes to 15 or below it will turn off. Any idea what could be causing this?

I know it is normal, but is constantly restarting. As I said, this problem was happening every 10 minutes making the phone completely impractical before i replaced the battery, so changing the battery has actually made my phone usable and I actually get a good solid few hours on it whereas before i wasn't.
This would surely indicate that it is a problem other than the battery and its not really a question of the quality of the battery I have bought as the problem was persisting with the stock apple battery before hand.

My iMessage on my Mac book pro is saying that I have no network connection and it won't let me sign in, it was working perfectly fine at first then one day after updating it just stoped working.

Dropping perfomance after hours of usage, like new when sleep then wake up

Hello, I'm not sure where to get replies so I'll just post here.
After a few hours of usage, the notebook seems slower. After I put it in sleep mode then wake it up immidiately after, this phenomenon seems to stop.
Also, the notebook is frozen when I plug in the power cord, also after few hours of usage.
I tried update Bios, graphic drivers and Windows, nothing works. I'm using the Hp Envy m6 n010dx
I need your help.
Thank you.

Hello tungdao,
I see that you're having an issue with how the notebook preforms afters its been "active/awake" for a period of time. I will try to help you with this.
I'd recommend starting with this document: Improving System Performance without Adding Memory (Windows 8).
If you need further assistance, please provide the model and product numbers for the notebook. Also, the currently installed operating system.
Please let me know how this goes for you.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.
