Q: Should keyboard always wake up sleep mode?

Late 2012 Mac Mini 6,2

Core i7 w/ 256GB SSD, 8 GB ram

OSX 10.8.5

After prolonged sleep time, probably greater than 6 or 8 hours and always after overnight, keyboard keystroke fails to wake computer. It will awake with trackpad event.

I haven't seen this with earlier model Mini (mid 2010) which always responds to keyboard.

Thanks for the reply ... this sounds like what is going on.

It's not really an operational problem for me, but I was curious as to what might be happening.

It's probably something that I can live with and it may not be an issue after the next software.

Hello,

See if it's related to this...

The 2012 macs (and later apparently) not waking normally from sleep after hours being in sleep. (noted here ...

"Why 2012 iMac/2012 Mac Mini won't Wake After Hours of Sleep (Hibernates/Powers Off)")

The sleepimage file still reappears even if never slept. Delete it (hibernate off, etc) - within minutes its back.

A note on that here - http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/feedback/Chameleon_SSD_Optimizer.html

Try this: "sudo pmset autopoweroff 0" and "sudo pmset standby 0"
