03-08-2009, 09:23 PM
Ok. My sleep feature works perfectly fine. I close the laptop, open it, and voila it's awake. If I leave my mini on and it goes to sleep on it's own how do I wake it? I normally just close it and open it again. I tried the space button, clicking with the mouse, moving the mouse, hitting esc. I didn't want to mash on the keyboard and potentially be stuck in an unknown shortcut or something. Can you guys shine some light on this. |

I believe the power button will wake the machine for you. MBP (Early 2008 model) 2.4, 200GB 7200 RPM, 4GB Mac Mini 1.83Ghz, 80GB, 4GB The random musings of Bamf - http://www.bamfblog.net |

Actually I've tried the power button and it doesn't work. I haven't tried closing the lid and reopening it, but will. When I leave the computer on and it goes to sleep, it doesn't wake with a key, mouse button, or quick power button click. I've resorted to holding the power button down to shut down and then restart. I do have a RunCore 32 with 10.5.6 FYI |

I was having sleep issues and I'm guessing you have disabled the usb legacy support? I did this and sleep is working fine now. |

I was just wondering what shortcut button I would have to press. Maybe I'll be a guinea pig and mash on all the buttons to see which one works. *** Also is there a shortcut key to just put the Mini to sleep instead of letting it time out? Thanks. | |

Fn-1 (crescent moon icon) should put the mini to sleep. The power button should awaken it. Likewise closing/opening lid. Mac OS X 10.6.7; NBI 20100616212351; BIOS A04, USB Legacy off |

Thanks for the answer (for me at least  ). I was racking my brain trying to figure out why wake from sleep wasn't quite working.Before this the screen usually came back from sleep but the mouse never seemed to wake up. Now it works great. Disabling USB Legacy Support worked wonders. Thank you, thank you, thank you.  (must have missed that step in the setup guide  opsAlso, good to know about the "sleep"/"wake" shortcut keys (although I usually just closed the lid). )

OK I'll try something. I have BIOS A04 and there is a choice for USB BIOS Legacy support and one for USB Sleep Support (I forgot the exact text). My guess is that both need to be disabled so I'll give it a try and report back. |
