M1 Mini 16gb 500g HD recently restarted while in sleep mode. Etre says possible hardware failure... but everything pretty darn new! Also, Magic Mouse 2 has been dragging lately and I'm wondering if it's my processor or the mouse is dying? Doesnt happen when using crappy wired mouse. (Hey, there are no dumb questions, right??)
Any help greatly appreciated!
Mac mini, macOS 13.5
Sleep is unnecessary and should be disabled. Shut for long absences/idle overnights (i.e. do not manual-sleep), and for regular operation, use the settings exactly as shown here Wake up a remote Mac mini - Apple Community, should fix.
I've never had issues with Mac sleep but things can wake it, like the periodic maintenance scripts that run automatically in the wee hours of the morning. Mine also do scheduled bootable clones via Carbon Copy Cloner daily at 4AM that requires a wake-up call.
However, all our Macs happily go back to sleep afterwards. If something is causing weird sleep behavior, my #1 suspect would the Passport drive. They are a very entry-level product.
Try this. Eject the Passport and let the computer sleep, If the problem persists, then we can at least eliminate what I feel is a strong suspect.
Looks good. This isn’t happening when your computer is sleeping/waking up. Please reply with a fresh description of the problem as it is happening now without mentioning sleep, and include accessories that are connected.
Absolutely! Will do tomorrow afternoon as I direct a choir in the morning and have been burning the midnight candles at both ends lately so I’ve gotta pack up for the night. Totally appreciate your quick replies and shall tty then!
Really good stuff! Thank you so much, brother. I’ve actually been wondering about the proper way to put her down at night and there’s assorted opinions flying around out there, but this is solid.
still happening...
😁👍
Nice
Ok, I am going to try that now as Im still getting the kernel panic issue.
In that case it’s not Sleep related (unless you re-enabled it or didn’t follow the disable instructions precisely).
No, I totally followed the directions and have not re-enabled it. Only thing I did do is eject the Passport.
Screenshots please to confirm.
👍😉 look forward to your update whenever 🍻
