"Sleep mode" trackpad

After updating to El Capitan, the trackpad on my MacBook Air goes to a mode "sleep" after a few seconds of inactivity. "Activating" the trackpad requires clicking on it. It's very frustrating, especially because time is so short. Is it possible to disable this behavior?

I'm currently running OS X 10.11.6 on a 13 "MacBook air (mid-2013)

Hello fredrikostlund,

  • Apple 4th Gen tv - "sleep" mode

    With the last s/w update, my Apple TV is not in sleep mode when running applications. It worked well with the prerequisite s/w. The most notable are the runtime of Netflix and NF completed streaming. If I exit NF at the main menu, "sleep" mode works very well.

    I contacted NF, and they said that this is not something they can control or effect.

    Any suggestions on how to remedy this situation?

  • Sierra crash when after the "sleep mode"

    My MacBook Pro (13-inch, mid 2012) after update of the sierra accident when, after the "sleep mode".

    I try to reset the SMC sama NVRAM but always crash.

    suggest to solve?

    Thank you

    When you say 'crash', what do you mean?

    Probably something that runs in the background. Open the black Apple at the top left. Select system, then users and groups and login items Preferences. All deleted in this window.

    You can add applications and programs back to the points of connection with a window to see what is the origin of the crash.

    You can also start the computer start-up (hold down the SHIFT key when you start) which will make the computer start with no 3rd party apps. If that solves the problems, just disable the third-party applications and add back one by one until the problem occurs again.

  • End of 2015 iMac 27 inches 5K screen lights up when the "sleep mode"

    When the iMac is in "standby", sometimes the display lights for a while and then turns back off the coast. Screen does not completely, simply turn the backlight (it's like when you see a black image with the high brightness level).

    I know the iMac turns once in while when the "sleep mode" to access the internet and such things, but I don't like the screen turn on like that.

  • iPhone 6s more going in as a sleep mode when sitting is not.

    iPhone 6s more going in as a sleep mode when sitting not used. I won't get it any delay message notifications until something wakes the phone as a call or unlock the screen. Sometimes, he sends even calls to your voicemail and imessages simply sit not showing not delivered to the other side of people. Seems to happen only when connected to wifi. Anyone facing this problem or have any suggestions? I checked all the settings that I even tried to leave it plugged to load and forever changed the automatic locking.  When that happens all notifications go out at the same time as overload and the sound does not come through them just the notification screen on... Help!

  • How can I fix the very slow response after the wake up the computer from sleep mode?

    Never had this problem until a few days ago. Using Windows 7. I want to use the "sleep mode" whenever I leave my office (be it for a few minutes or several hours). Always came back just as I left it (tabs, work-in-progress, etc.) until recently. If I reboot, everything of fine, up to what I use mode "time" again. So painful.

    Thanks for the tip. I disabled the accelerator according to your link and suggestions and the problem seems to have been resolved, at least for now!

  • my notebook, ProBook 450 G2 go goes into sleep mode when well even parameters of energy set to never.

    My notebook, ProBook 450 G2 goes into sleep mode when well even parameters of energy set to never. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional.  I had a technician Microsoft verifiez_ the. I also had HP tech check the. They both said that it was a hardware problem. I sent it to HP to fix it and they replaced the motherboard and said that they have tested. When I came back, it entered into mode 'sleep' again. I left my laptop for about 15 minutes and when I came back it was in mode 'sleep'. This always occurs after the laptop remained for about 15 minutes.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    I sent my laptop repair HP. They replaced some cables and motherboard, but it does not solve the problem. They finally replaced the Windows 7 operating system. Basically they gave me a new system. I spent 3 days to update windows with all the updates and then re-loading of my programs. What a mess!

  • U3.0 dynadock not resumed after the laptop sleep mode

    Hi all

    I am confronted with the problem that my Dynadock U3.0 does not resume if I fashion "sleep" on my cell Samsun.

    It works very well at the start, it works when I take a full stop, and I just checked it in Hibernate mode and it seems to work fine too.

    Can anyone help me please with this problem.

    _Other factors: _
    I'm running it on a USB 3.0 connection.
    I have this USB connection should remain in charge mode 'sleep'.
    Windows 7
    64 bit
    dynadock model: PA3927A-1PRP

    The only way to get after that 'sleep' mode call is to pull the power cord out the dynadock, wait, then reinsert it.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    Thank you for your help

    Hello

    I think that it s not Dynadock question but with the USB ports on your computer/laptop.

    The sleep or Hibernate mode affects devices attached to the Dynadock and not directly the Dynadock. If the computer/laptop wakes up fashion 'sleep', the Dynadock should be recognized automatically. In the case where the device does not recognize the Dynadock, there must be something wrong with the computer.

    By the way: you said the Dynadock is connected to USB 3.0.
    I recommend to go to a USB 2.0 port and test it again.

    Last but not least: make sure Dynadock uses the latest display driver that you can download from this page: http://www.displaylink.com/support/downloads.php

  • Satellite C50D - A - 13N - Windows question sleep mode 8.1 alarm

    Hello

    I hope someone who knows more about than me power management can help!

    I bought a C50D-A-13N Satellite a few days ago and it was fine.
    However, I had a problem with the mode 'sleep' a couple of times.

    The laptop goes into mode 'sleep' as expected (when the lid is closed or when I press the power button). However, when I press the power button to turn it back on, it comes to life for a few seconds - the screen is on and I can move the mouse and interact with other things - but backwards past mode after a few seconds. All I can do to make it work is to close completely by holding down the power button and restarting, I REALLY hate to do.

    The laptop is fully charged and plugged or unplugged happy.

    Everyone knows about this problem in Windows 8.1 front?

    Thank you

    On my laptop, I use the same settings but when I close the laptop lid goes into sleep mode. When I opened the laptop lid starts automatically without using the power button / stop.

  • Portege R830-10R: No. USB connection after recovery from sleep mode

    Nice day!

    I have experienced the problem depending on my Portege R830-10R for a long time.

    Quite often, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

    After awhile, like 10-15 minutes of work (or), the problem is solved by itself, but normally, it is not the case.

    If I try to send the laptop to Hibernate or "standby mode" again, while this problem is active, allows to say, it not put into hibernation and crashes on a midway with a black screen - so I have to stop it manually, and then start again.

    Normally, the only way to solve the problem is to restart, but the issue comes after the next "standby".

    Someone has something like this? Any solution available?

    Hello

    > Quite frequently, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day of purchase?
