Sleep button... gone power?

I have a Mac Mini that I run headless connected to my stereo. I use it as a jukebox and it is set up to start play iTunes on random when he wakes. I used the power button to wake up the machine and put it back to sleep. I recently upgraded the machine and now, by pressing the power button no longer works. This feature seems to have disappeared in El Capitan.

I find it hard to believe that Apple would have no reason to remove such a useful feature, but I have no chance of finding the power button settings in one of the preferences. They hide or has been completely removed?

It still works on my rMBP. I think it's a matter of timing. You hold the power for about a second.

    Put it on wait ten minutes if the phone did not come one, then hold down the sleep/Home button until you see the apple logo and then release, make sure that the phone is still connected to the charger.

    Press the sleep/wake and Home buttons and hold for at least 10 seconds.

    If this is not enough, take a look at these articles Support from Apple:

    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo on the screen of your iPhone iTunes. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your iPhone needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

  • ElitePad 1000 G2: Sleep button does not work for sleep

    Dear community,

    I have a problem with my HP ElitePad 1000 G2: after a few updates sleep button on the device has become idle to send the unit in standby mode. It works for starting Windows from Power Off, it works for the dialog box to Switch Off if you push 5 sec. But it does not work if you press briefly just to fell asleep.

    I tried several times to configure the Power Options settings (power button configuration: all options are set to sleep for button / stop and sleep button). I don't know what to do. Help, please!

    Thank you

    Hi Vaso,

    Yes I know. This is no solution ;-)

    I'm sure that: when you uninstall the WWAN module (do not reboot) the sleep button is working again! ;-) Please try it out.

    I have this problem on all our shelves.

    The problem is the Intel driver on the HP site.

    Please give us a feedback. I'll do some tests on my site also thereafter.

    Only thing you can do is to let die and then hold the home button when you plug it into your computer to put it in recovery mode.

    Actually if the phone is on and that you have an icloud account, you can delete it at distance of icloud.com

    Go to find my iphone and erase the phone.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - 1FJ PSLB9E enters mode "sleep" instead of power

    Hi all...

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-1AF, and I noticed this issue only recently.

    It works and everything it ok it runs Windows XP Pro SP3 and works normally, however when I stopped it closes down and runs out of windows and the amber standby LED starts to pulse if it is in standby mode.
    Then, I turn to it now and back again with the power button to stop a pulse.

    So in short, it seems that windows closes down successfully, but then the laptop goes into sleep / standby mode instead of turning it off. Anyone know why this is happening?

    Hello
    Are you sure that you have chosen the Option: Power OFF instead of the Mode standby?
    As much as I know Win XP does not additional option to configure SHUTDOWN on the start menu.

    But you should check this:

    Go to control panel-> power options control
    Here in select it a feeding area, click Change plan settings
    In the advanced settings window, click on the + next to the power buttons and lid.
    Now, you will see the options available.
    Under the cover option and power buttons, click on the + sign next to the start menu power button.
    Then click on the parameter and choose stop down.

  • PC goes mode sleep when the Power Options are set for ever, etc. also can not wake up

    Hi, I read the other posts on this topic, but my problem seems a little different.

    I am running Windows 7 on a Dell desktop computer and I tried to run chkdsk and also the Dell diagnostics that I have some problems hard drive; However, it gets so far and the pc goes into mode 'sleep' causing me even worse problems that chkdsk/diagnoses are halfway through a volume. The pc has done this on and off tension for awhile, but hopefully not when something critical is running, even if it is a nuisance.  I did all the steps recommended here as ensure my Power Options are set, etc., but he always does.

    In addition, when the pc goes to sleep, I can't wake him up by pressing the power button or any key on the keyboard.

    I've been in contact with Dell and they said that it's a software problem.

    Someone can suggest something else I can do (stop) the computer mode 'sleep' and also how to wake him.

    Thank you.

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

  • Sleep button is shaded on. The system is XP home.

    Impossible to put my computer into sleep mode. Any suggestions?

    If your buttons Stand By and Hibernate in the menu or shut down the computer are missing, gray out or inactive:

    The options in the menu already worked shut down correctly before?

    Have you recently installed, reinstalled, updated or repair your Windows XP?

    Has anything on your system that has nothing to with your video display or monitor?

    What do you think has happened since the last time the options in the menu to stop the computer was working normally?

    If the buttons used to work and if you have just installed Windows, reinstalled Windows, doing a repair installation, used a system restore point (or other things in that sense), you will probably need to update your video drivers as well to restore the function of the buttons.

    If you have accepted the Microsoft video hardware driver updates (never a good idea), they can send you bad drivers.

    If the video drivers on your system are not correct, these buttons often will not work.

    Usually and easy to check and correct, is the video drivers for your system that must be downloaded to your global manufacturers Web site. Download the correct (recent) video drivers for your graphics card, install the correct video drivers, reboot your system, and then test.

    If you can not know how to check if your video drivers are correct, may not know how to get to the World Wide Web of manufacturers or can not know what to do then, maybe we can look at it for you if you provide more information.

    What is your system brand and model?

    If you are not sure what you have, that:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click Edit, select all, copy and paste then return here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete it.

    This minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork, trying things and assumptions.
