Does not wake after sleep in Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7

Card works fine until my Mac Pro 8-core goes to sleep. After that it seems impossible to restore USB connectivity. Sonnet claims the issue is that Apple broke/changed the USB driver since Mac OS X 10.6.  Read their FAQ before purchasing!

The display goes to sleep and there seems to be no way to awaken without touching a button that changes the state. Often I want everything to stay the same but I want to see the display

It never really worked properly.  Thanks, Bob West

I just purchased this drive to act as a backup drive for my iMac.  The drive worked fine until it went to sleep.  As described here it will not wake up.  I have to unplug the power cord for it to work again. That does not seem like a very good workaround to me. I want my money back!!!!

UPDATE: Seagate Customer Support contact me, and they say that you can fix it with this software: [...]
I'm gonna give it a try.

Hooked up to a MBA and won't let monitor sleep.

Says monitoring going to sleep and then starts searching for a signal over and over again.

Updated on 10 March 2017.  My original review was 1-star.  Brother updated the firmware to mitigate the deep sleep issue with Macs and it works like a champ.  Original review: Do not buy this printer.  I really wanted to like this printer. I've been using Macs for 32 years and have extensive experience using PCs, Mac, i-devices, networking equipment and printers.  I've read good reviews of this printer model and people I know have used Brother printers really liked their printers.  But my experience with it is really bad.  The setup and installation went pretty smooth. I connected it to our wifi network and printed from an iPad and a MacBook Pro and it worked great.  But then the printer went to sleep and it never worked properly again.  I experienced the same issues others have experienced here: Deep Sleep, lost wifi, etc.  If there was a provision to NEVER sleep I would have set it.  No amount (over a period of 3 months) of reinstalling the software, direct USB connections, or rebooting the printer or computers has resulted in reliable printing. It appears that something went wrong with the Firmware 1.07 'upgrade'.

Until Brother updates the firmware and/or printer drivers, we've turned off the printer.

My Macbook pro hard rive stopped booting. The Samsung was a great sub for the original and seems faster than the original. I didn't benchmark it, it's just a feelling. It is running now OSX Lion, VM4 and Win7 and Win8  on it.

This item is advertised to work as well on a Mac OS X 10.3 and above as it does on a PC. Well, yeah, but not quite. It has a tendency on some machines (most likely those older G4s without built-in wifi, that most folks would buy it for) to quit working and need to be removed and replugged in, after the machine has gone into sleep mode for awhile.

There is also a problem with it not loading properly from a restart, but addLogix has a patch available for that. So far nothing to fix the sleep mode problem.

On the plus side, when it does work, it works flawlessly. I think this would be a dynamite product for the Mac if addLogix would put a bit more R&D into the Mac driver.

On a 2016 Macbook Pro, it works but the HDMI cable needs to be unplugged and plugged back in whenever the laptop goes into sleep mode.  This seems to be an issue with a number of these adapters, and I've returned this one because of it.

Works fine - just make sure you download the updated driver from Anker's website if you don't want to drop your Enet connection every time your Mac sleeps.

The USB part of this thing works great; The Ethernet ability needs the driver update to stay connected. I have a 2015 13" MacBook Air - While I'm using my computer, and it's awake and running, everything does exactly what it should.

When my Mac goes to sleep, the connection drops - but USB devices stay attached. but simply unplugging and replugging the Enet cable doesn't fix it: You have to eject any connected drives, then unplug the USB port *at the computer* and then plug it back in and reconnect any drives - then the wired internet connection comes back on fine and works great until the computer sleeps again.

*Driver Update from Anker Fixes This Connectivity Issue!* Once I downloaded and ran the driver update, the connection is live all the time, regardless of computer status: Sleep, wake, or restarted - it's always there and ready to go.

Overall, great product. I'd buy it again if I hadn't heard of equally reliable products at cheaper prices.

The quality of this case seems good but the sleep/wake function doesn't work consistently.  Since I purchased it primarily for this functionality I am disappointed.  Otherwise, it is a very good case.

Nice iron, however product will not wake up from sleep mode without shutting the switch to off and then back on. It would have been better to have he unit shut off completely after 10 minutes rather than go into low power mode if there is no ability to wake it up from coma.

Built two computers with these A78M-E35 boards coupled with A8-5500 chips and a few days later returned them for refund because there was no way to Enable usb wake from sleep and some weird system crash issue while in sleep mode.

The manual says to remove jumpers on JUSB_PW1&2 to enable USB-Wake. On both systems this only created an un-bootable environment where there is a black screen and the number 99 on the bottom right side. I updated the BIOS to the latest version and still same 99 BlackSOD issue. Tried all different configurations. Nothing. Bummed. These computers were for my clients who will rely on usb wake all the time.

Also, one of the computers would completely crash into a weird comatose-sleep while trying to wake from sleep. The only way to make the computer turn on was to unplug it from the wall for a few seconds and then turn back on again, where it would resume its awaking process. Weird and Glitchy. These are funky motherboards. I'd stay away from this one if I were you. Bugs galore. Trust me. Find something similar but just not this board.

Re-formatted mine for an iMac, and am running it with Time Machine.  It's working fine after six months of regular use.

The Leopard installation has caused a number of problems with my I-Mac.  I was running OS X 5.39 and upgraded to OS X 5.2 ( Leopard ). After running Leopard for a few days, we had a power failure and I had to reboot the machine. One of the applications that was rebooting was Skype,  which always opened as part of the reboot. The automatic reboot of Skype disabled the reboot of the operating system and none of my applications would work. Thank heavens for backup! Now my Epson 4180 scanner won't operate. Apple tells me this is an Epson problem. Probably is, but you would think that Apple would write an operating system that would support stuff, not blow you off when you try to  get things running. If you are going to install Leopard, backup all your data and expect problems! Good luck>

As others have mentioned, this cable causes some sleep-related issue.

In my setup, with a mid-2013 MacBook Air 13" and an ASUS PB278Q w/ 2560x1440 resolution, the monitor gets disconnected during the sleep, and causes a delay at wakeup.  (However, no issues appear with a 1920x1200 monitor, or with the 2560x1400 monitor with an X230, so, the cable might still work for you.)

The issue is documented by Apple in [...]

>>>> In certain circumstances you may notice a black screen after waking your computer from sleep. The computer may also appear to be unresponsive when the black screen appears.

>>>> Certain cables advertised as being VESA 1.1a compliant may contain a construction issue that may result in the DisplayPort power pins at either end of the cable shorting together. VESA 1.1a compliant cables must isolate the DisplayPort power pins at either end of the cable.
