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)
Mine is still working with Jobster solution. No hung in 4 days. Used to hung every day. Thanks again Jobster!!
One last go - tonight I will disconnect my trackpad device then see how sleep goes!
I had such high hopes for this solution....
But I, too, sadly am still having the same problems.
Me too. So close, but it only worked for the one morning here.
Lets have a poll here - How many people are getting this problem who did a fresh install of Lion?
Is it only people who did upgrades who are getting this issue?
I'll start - I did upgrade and I have the problem!
Upgrade.
Upgrade
Upgrade and fresh (both with the same problems). I repeat: it's a trackpad problem in lion.
upgrade, but still running with own solution (iMac 27" 2010)
Upgrade
Clean install.
Since I disconnected my Trackpad I had no more issues, but a real fix would be nice...
HI all.
Ok time to report back after more testing.
To recap I tried Jobsters solution but after a day or so the usual happened.
Anyway - as an experiment I diconnected by trackpad and ever since then (3 days of sleep now), it has been fine.
I would therefore say that it appears to be a trackpad issue in LION as a few people above me say.
Again, why isn't Applel looking into fixing this issue properly?
Again, this is not a Trackpad issue.
This issue is affecting a number of users (including me) who don't have a Trackpad connected to their Mac.
I'm sorry - that was a silly sweeping statement for me to make.. My excuse was it was very late and I was tired.
All I can report is its the next day now and again my iMac woke up again...
I was wondering if anyone here has tried the developer beta of Lion 10.7.2 and who maybe had this issue as well - what I am really asking is - does it appear to be fixed in 10.7.2 anyone know?
iMac 27 late 2009 Upgrade
Jobster suggestion made no difference on my system BT wakeup problem
I still remain with my workaround until APPLE fix it
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
iMac with Lion not waking after overnight sleep
