Thunderbolt won't wake from sleep on Mac Mini Server w/Lion 10.7.1

Hi Tony,

Point taken re: mouse. The thing with this keyboard bug is that unplugging/plugging the keyboard doesn't help (in my experience).

I wasn't able to reproduce the blank screen issue last night so couldn't verify if 'killall Dock' allows the keyboard to wake the display. So, I'll have to wait until that happens again. But, I agree, this keyboard issue is most likely not related. It would be good to verify though if one of us hits the blank screen issue again.

regards,

Allen

Same here. I have an open ticket and although i really really like this monitor, this is not working for me. I am probably going to have to return it soon if this is not fixed.

Well, I looked on the web and it said I was not eligible to return this monitor, so I ended up calling them. They did process the return for me. I think I will sit out Thunderbolt for a while since this is kind of a big problem. : ) I just am not going to keep going through removing the power plug and plugging it back in. Probably pick up a basic monitor at Best Buy today that won't do this.

Sorry to hear you guys are still experiencing this.

I've not been able to reproduce this since my last post (lucky me) despite hours of display sleep. With the Promise RAID, leaving Thunderbolt entirely just isn't an option for me. Maybe niavely, I'm hoping that the Oct 12 update to Lion (to support iCloud+IOS5) will include a fix. Yeah, misplaced optimism, I know...

Add me to this too. Exactly same configuration and same problem. Hope a fix will come soon.

I have through support a work around to this issue that seems to work for me until this gets resolved in a software upgrade. They know that there is an issue with the Thunderbolt display with it waking up when the AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST BRIGHTNESS is checked. I have unchecked this in my display settings and I no longer have the issue. I hope this helps everyone - I was very frustrated by this and hope they fix it soon but Id rather live with adjusting the brightness myself than unplugging all the time. I already has to send one Thunderbolt back because it quit working.

And yet another with the same configuration, my mac mini having dual drives (256 SSD + 750 SATA)

Server sits at home office and accessed by several offices. Worked from directly in the evenings which is when it wont wake.

No regular time factor, sometimes unresponsive after 15 min, sometimes days.

Thanks Goober for your last post, will test this tonight and report back.

Great JB - Yeah its been doing well for me as well since FRIDAY. Sounds like you and I have the same configuration on the mini as well I have the SSD and 750 too with the Thunderbolt. I hope they get a update soon to fix but this is working for me. My first thunderbolt actually quit working so I hope this one does not stop.

same here, been 4-5 days and no issues with auto adjust brightness off. Have just downloaded update for Lion Server and about to switch auto adjust back on, so wil see if they've fixed it and report back in a few days....

Well so much for the new upgrade. Within a few minutes the screen went to sleep and opnce again wouldnt wake up. I rebooted in the hope that it just needed to reconfigure settings, but alas no, the first sleep fail took 2 days but then began to occur after an hr or so, so Apple have not fixed this. I have reverted to the auto adjust off option. CUMMON APPLE, sort your **** out. Then tell us!
