OS X Yosemite :: Mac Mini Keeps Waking Up All Of A Sudden
Dec 2, 2014
Since a few days ago, I've noticed my late-2012 Mac Mini would wake up almost immediately after it goes to sleep. This is the same whether I let the Mac idle to the present sleep time, or if I manually tell the computer to sleep via the Apple menu. In both cases, the Mac would power back up immediately after it went to sleep.Â
I've pretty much ruled out any external devices or drives, and have confirmed that if I disable "Wake for network access" then the problem goes away. However, unchecking that feature won't work because I have Teamviewer and Screen Sharing running and I need to be able to wake it on demand for remote access.Â
I pulled up the power management log and found that everything was working fine until all of a sudden on Dec. 1, I started getting these errors:Â
Dec 1 23:20:39 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en0]: Wake reason: Enet.LinkDown - Lost linkDec 1 23:46:37 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: GIGE (Network)Dec 1 23:46:37 Familys-Mac-mini kernel[0] <Notice>: AppleBCM5701Ethernet [en0]: Wake reason: Enet.LinkDown -
if I disable "Wake for network access" then the problem goes away. However, unchecking that feature won't work me because I have Teamviewer and Screen Sharing running and I need to be able to wake it on demand for remote access.how to troubleshoot the reason for my Mac to wake up right after putting it to sleep?

I bought the Mini last week to serve as an HTPC. No keyboard or mouse was going to be needed. I downloaded the AirMouse Pro and Touch Mouse to my iTouch. However, I cannot get them to connect to the Mini when the computer is asleep, and have to attach a regular mouse to wake the computer before being able to use the apps. Do any of y'all have a fix for this?

Often when my mac mini wakes up from sleeping I can move the mouse cursor for a few seconds, but then I get the pinwheel/beachball of death and my mac will freeze for about 5 minutes. I've had this issue for at least the last 6 months. I have the latest version of Lion 10.7, my mini is less than a year old.

I have been experiencing Kernel Panics and Sudden logouts twice a week. I thought it was strange, because my boss just bought me the MacMini with 8gb RAM preinstalled.I want to solve the problem, but I don't want to send my machine to support in vain.(because the MacMini is actually owned by the institution I work in, and those things take time). So I ran some diagnoses I heard about on the internet, but I don't know what they mean, or what I should do with it. I made two kind of diagnoses:I tried to run Quick Apple Hardware Test.I tried to run Mac version of memtest in single-user mode. I made both diagnoses with each memory separatedly, in every slot combination possible, and both memories together. Everytime I tested both memories together, AHT froze while testing memory, and memtest resulted in failures.Everytime I tested a memory module separatedly, memtest and AHT gave no errors. Is there any explanation for my Mac Mini not like my both memory modules together? I updated OS X to 10.7.3 with combo update, and FileVault(don't know it makes any difference). I made all tests with no peripherals other than a DVI monitor on HDMI out, a Magic Mouse, and a Apple (wired) Keyboard. What should I do?Should I send it to support and spend my next month without a machine?

Recently I purchased a brand new Mac Mini 2014 and sometimes I have this weird issue. Sometimes my mac has short freezes, i can't move cursor or type anything. when I reboot my issue is solved but I find it quite annoying that this is happening.
I googled this issue but didn't really find anything simular to my issue. It's like it running something very huge to process because if i move my mouse during the freeze it does move my mouse after the freeze.I monitored my memory but I haven't noticed anything strange (is it normal I only have 5-10% of my 8GB RAM left?)Â

I have a 2010 mac using OSX Yosemite update. It is sticking in the white apple start up screen for a long time. It boots to the password screen, I input password. It then locks up in the password screen. I have a logitech key board. I try holding the shift key at start up for safe mode nothing happens.

Mac mini 2011 doesn't want to wake up by clicking on the magic mouse. Sometimes I need to click for over 30 secs before it wakes up.
In Mavericks, the wake up process was instantaneous.

I am unable to change "Energy Saver" settings in System Settings using Yosemite 10.10.1. In particular, I want to uncheck the "Put Hard Disks to Sleep" option.Â
I can click on the option and then click close. But when I go back into "Energy Saver" the checkbox is ticked again.Â
I have tried both an SMC and PRAM reset and the problem persists.Â

Computer: Mac Mini, 2009 or so, 160 GB HD (about 50 available), Yosemite.
Issue: Set up a separate user and trying to import information from a Mac Book that is having issues. Mac Book was backed up to an external HD via Time Machine
Question: Is it possible to use time machine to transfer some of the information (photos, music, files) from the external hard drive to the Mac Mini? Is it possible to extract the information from the hard drive by connecting it to the Mac Mini without using Time Machine?

other people are being spontaneously logged out of 10.6, faced with a blue screen, and then the login window. In my case it is caused by connecting my bluetooth (BT) headphones, as the log below states.
Short of never using my BT headphones or any other peripherals, has anyone found a solution to this terrible bug?
Comments like "[Many applications shut down here]" are added to show that the log is just repeating with different applications.

There are times when my iMac will wake from sleep for no apparent reason. Sometimes, several times a night. The glare from my screen often wakes me. If I get up and select Sleep again, it performs normally but may wake up again. I have "Wake for Network Access" turned off, so that shouldn't be it.

When I close my macbook lid after about 15 seconds the logo on the outside flashes like the laptop has woken itself up again. it does this repeatedly and the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer completely. I've been searching the web for answers and there seem to be many people having the same problem. One website suggested typing something in terminal. I'm pretty amateur when it comes to computers. But this comes up:
Usage: pmset [-b | -c | -u | -a] <action> <minutes> [<action> <minutes>...]
pmset -g [disk | cap | live | sched | ups | batt]
-c adjust settings used while connected to a charger
-b adjust settings used when running off a battery
-u adjust settings used while running off a UPS
-a (default) adjust settings for both
<action> is one of: displaysleep, sleep, disksleep (minutes argument)
or: reduce, dps, womp, ring, autorestart, powerbutton, halfdim,
lidwake, acwake, lessbright (with a 1 or 0 argument)
or for UPS only: haltlevel (with a percentage argument)
haltafter, haltremain (with a minutes argument)
or: hibernatefile <path> hibernatemode <integer>
hibernatefreeratio <integer percent>
hibernatefreetime <integer ms>
e.g. pmset -c dim 5 sleep 15 spindown 10 autorestart 1 womp 1
pmset schedule [cancel] <type> <date/time> [owner]
pmset repeat cancel
pmset repeat <type> <days of week> <time>
<type> is one of: sleep, wake, poweron, shutdown, wakeorpoweron
<date/time> is in "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss" format
<time> is in "HH:mm:ss" format
<days of week> is a subset of MTWRFSU
[owner] optionally describes the event creator

It all started a few weeks ago. Whenever I put my Mac to sleep, most of the time, it immediately wakes up again. (Eventually, the fans would start to spin up, but I solved that by disabling "Sleep hard drives when possible"). Now it's just a matter of how I can put my Mac to sleep, and keep it sleeping until I choose to wake it up. I recently got a new printer hooked up to the network, and originally thought it was the issue, but I don't think so now.
I've tried disabling wake up on network access, Bluetooth wake-up. I tried a Airport connection instead of Ethernet, and have disabled both. I even tried unplugging the Ethernet cable, along with any connected peripherals (except the keyboard). Now, my only guess is that it's a software issue, but I don't know where to start. I would love to see my Mac sleeping peacefully again.

My mac is always waking. I have asked this question and have not received any reply. I have done lots of trouble shooting with Apple, but nothing has helped. It wakes even from 'shut down'. Sometimes every few minutes, or every few hours. I day it slept all day and night. It is unpredictable and very annoying. 2 product specialists do not agree on what could be the problem.

Do the MBAs with a SSD still have a sudden motion sensor? I was trying to use smack book with my Rev A SSD, but the SMS is either broken or missing, trying to figure out which it is.

I was watching tv the other day when my macbook was in sleep mode plugged in to the charging cord and all of a sudden it restarted. I'm running OSX and XP but it was booted in OS X. Any ideas as to why this would happen?

This is about another Mac Laptop.
It is an Ibook G4 1.42 Mhz. It will run well when plugged in. Though when on battery it will just shut down ever so often. Like every 30 minutes and then more often after that.
I was thinking low battery or bad battery. But I put in a new battery and then it did it still?????
What ideas do you have for this??
I did a test on the battery and I do know it is pretty bad. But I do also know I tested this book with a new batter and it still abruptly shuts off completely.
When I sign back on the clock has to be reset each time.
Besides that.. Everything is good.

Over the last three months, the OSX side of my Mac Pro has been a pain to use. I say � OSX side � because my Bootcamp partition which is running Windows 7 on a dedicated Intel X-25M is running very smooth and is a pleasure to use. However, on the Mac side, the system is simply unusable. I have been getting endless beachballs and constant freezes when launching Safari, iPhoto and iMovie 09� (the latter is the worst). I�ve tried resetting my PRAM, resetting the video management controller and doing an archive install of Snow Leopard and nothing has helped. I�ve followed previous advice and tried cloning my SSD Boot Drive onto another HDD which was completely free in my system. Booting from the cloned HDD showed better performance i.e. no beachballs. However with time, the issue has started again. So it seems it is not related to the SSD but rather to the OS which makes me think that I will have to do a clean install of Snow Leopard. Now, my Mac HDD�s are set up as follows:
1: Intel X-25M 80GB G2 SSD Boot Drive
2: Hitachi 640GB Apple Stock HDD (clone of SSD Boot Drive)
3: Western Digital 1.5TB (Home folder located on this disk)
*Note: I�ve also tried creating other user accounts but it seems the problem persists on all user accounts. The problem is I will be starting a very important project with Photoshop next month and I want this problem to be solved. So I�m thinking this is my best option:
Secure erase my SSD with instructions from Macforums
Reinstall Snow Leopard onto this drive
Clone the Hitachi Drive onto the SSD

I've just installed a Crucial C300 256Gb in my Macbook Pro 17" and replaced the Superdrive with a Seagate 500Gb.
I'd like to disable the SMS for the SSD but keep it for the 2nd HD. Is there anyway to do this?
I believe the following is for all drives at once.
# to disable
sudo pmset -a sms 0
# to enable
sudo pmset -a sms 1
