Since upgrading to Lion a few days ago, my iMac (2010) won't wake up with magic keypad swipe, button press, spacebar or any other key. Works fine and wakes fine when used periodically during the day, but is locked tight upon first use in the AM. The only thing that works is a hard power off and reboot. Any thoughts? Thanks!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7)
I'm having the same issue. Doesn't seem to happen all of the time but it is annoying none the less. No respone from Trackpad, Magic Mouse, or Keyboard (all Bluetooth but they all use to respond with no trouble). I did notice when I press the power button the computer wakes but then freezes. So I have to hold the power button to force reboot. Hope an update is coming down the pipe soon!
Plus one for me. My Mac mini will not restart my displays and remains in sleep.
Tried both bluetooth trackpad and bluetooth keyboard.
Checked that the bluetooth system preference was correct as discussed previously.
The only way to get the displays up and going and the computer responsive is to keep the power button pressed in until it restarts.
This problem has only started since I installed Lion. Previously Leopard and Snow Leopard worked fine so the fault is in Lion.
Apple need to fix this bug please because its really annoying and forcing computer to restart cannot be good.
The problem continues on my iMac. During the day today, I was using the MAC Air with a shared connection back to the iMac. Went away for an hour and the Air lost the iMac connection. Sure enough the iMac was locked again. Keyboard, mouse, trackpad didn't work. Pressed lightly on power button, screen came on, but no access possible. Had to do force a power down and restart. I did that already once in the AM and wasn't actually using the iMac directly for about 4 hours (but the Mac Air was sharing a drive within the previous hour). Really getting sick of this.
Have the same issue on MacBook.
- will not wake from sleep with any key, trackpad, etc. I have to cycle the power.
- Wifi sometimes is OFF, other times does a wavy thing (like trying to connect), and doesnt. You cannot set it to off either.
This is not good. Having to reboot each time I close the lid is making me look bad at work. I like the new Lion features, but not if this continues. I may have to kick this to the curb until it's fixed.
This seems to only be a problem from a prolonged sleep. Short sleeps and the thing wakes up fine. When I press a key, my attached USB Drobo hard discs start up so the Mac mini wakes up but it does not pump anything to the displays, so the displays can't see that the Mac mini is awake. It may be that they have a video driver fault in Lion from a prolonged sleep?
The only method of getting anything on the display is to force the computer to reboot.
I had a similar problem with my MacPro using Random screen saver and also having display sleep enabled. After running some experiments, I discovered that I could avoid the problem by using a "simple" screen saver (such as computer name + clock). I noticed that the "Word of the Day" screen saver actually asked for input (Press the D key to see more), and when Display sleep kicked in with Word of the Day screensaver, I could not wake up the display. I am presuming that use of Random eventually ran Word of the Day overnight, resulting in the same problem.
I can only guess there is some issue with Word of the Day trying to grab input and the display sleep application trying to grab input.
I've turned off Random, and set screen saver to a simple screen saver (in my case, computer name + clock), and I have not had a problem since. I've been able to wakeup the display (with a mouse click) each morning, and after returning from lunch.
Also note that resetting SMC and PRAM did not help. I had a similar cannot-wakeup-display issue when I first bought my compuer several years ago. Resetting SMC and PRAM fixed it then.
Sounds like an interesting possibility. I checked and I didn't have random checked, so, for now I set screen saver to "never." Where do you set "simple" screen saver?
I meant it in the generic sense, thinking "Word of the Day" was not simple because it asked for input to continue (Press the D key to see more). So generically speaking, any of the screen savers that don't ask for input was a simpler screen saver. I chose "Computer Name" and also checked "Show with clock". I was able to reproduce the problem with "Word of the Day", but not with "Computer Name". That was pretty much the extent of my investigation.
I have the same problem.. iMac (late 2009) all fine until Lion.
It doesn't occur everytime I wake from sleep, when it has happened I loose all bluetooth connectivity.
Mouse/Keyboard/Trackpad.
Today it happened again, but I only lost access to the mouse. I was able to recover by connecting a usb mount and disconnect / reconnect.
Interesting...after setting my screen saver to NEVER..making no other changes, my iMAC woke up this morning with the mouse/keypad today. The energy settings are still as before, with only the screen saver change. Could this have been the problem?
Called Apple Support. They walked me thought a few things, then ultimately I reloaded Lion. Once done, all was restored to the calm synchronicity I expect from my apple.
ℹ I also have problems with my Mac Pro waking after installing Lion ? I click the mouse and the computer starts up then before the screen has a chance to c'mon it puts itself back to sleep and will do this at least 3 times before booting up properly ? Questions are many...Answers are Few.😢
HeloPilot, can you give us a specification of the "They walked me through a few things, then ultimately I reloaded Lion" ?
Update ... Setting screen saver to NEVER seemed to work for one day, but problem returned as usual after overnight sleep.
I would never look for a solution through setting the screen saver to never, the problem still exist and screen saver is just what it sounds like....it saves your screen..prolongs it's life ex...
