I have the same problem with a newly purchased mac mini. No matter what I plug in, keyboard or mouse, everything gets stuck. This is quite annoying, because I have to hard reset the computer after it suspended. There is no other way to reset it or interact with it.
Mouse and Keyboard are USB devices not from Apple.
What is waking it from sleep?
What happens if you unplug the KB & plug it back in?
unplug keyboard does nothing. I wake it by turning off, unplugging and starting over.
How new/old is this Mini, & how long this problem?
Does a light tab of the power button not wake it either?
I have been having same problem off and on for the last several months. I got it last January and worked fine for several months. My keyboard and mouse are both mac and wired. I have determined that it may not really be sleeping (example: because the spacebar actually works in playing a movie) but it does not activate/awaken the monitor when clicking or using keyboard, making it seem like it is sleeping. I have found the only way to make the monitor awake is to shut the whole thing down and start back up using the power button. Any ideas BDAqua?
Upgraded to Lion a few months ago, and work remotely from home using Timbuktu Pro which I've used for years.Have been using Lion for the past few months without problems. In the past few weeks if the remote computer, a mac mini (at my office) is not accessed, the screen appears to be gray when viewing remotely and I cannot wake it up. Energy saver preferences are set to wake up with network access, never go to sleep, keyboard is an Apple USB as well as USB mouse. I had used a bluetooth mouse & thought that might be the issue, so I disconnected it at the end of the day although Bluetooth is still on. Tried disconnecting an external drive (USB) but that didn't make a difference. The only way it will wake up is if someone at the office physically clicks the mouse a few times, then it wakes up. I've tried sending a fax to the remote computer as the office fax machine is connected to the remote computer; the fax is received as it shows up in the Dropbox, but that doesn't wake the mac mini. Very puzzled as all worked well until a few weeks ago. Display has not been changed (DVI), have not added new peripherals although I do have a powered hub connected to the remote computer which I haven't tried disconnecting. Bottom line is that nothing has changed other than Lion upgrades. As so many people are having a problem, I suspect this is a Lion issue. The remote mac mini is approximately 2 years old. I upgraded the RAM about 6 weeks ago to 8 GB (Crucial) and haven't tested that, but it was working fine after the RAM upgraded until recently.
