i have my power saver set up so that the display goes to sleep after 30 minutes......how do i get it to wake back up without pressing the power button in the back??????
 
tried moving the mouse, clicking it, hit every button on the key board....the only solution so far has been to tap the power button twice......
 
Are you running Snow Leopard?

I have a Mac Pro and since upgrading
to SL my Mac goes to sleep very early
and takes quite a bit of key pressing and
mouse movement to wake it back up.

Have read similar complaints from SL
users about this.

For now, I just go into PREFERENCES
and extend the time I want for the
computer to go to sleep.

I am sure if this is a SL issue that it
will be resolved in future updated.
 
i have the computer set so that the computer itself doesnt go to sleep. I have it set so that just the display goes to sleep.....when i hit buttons i can hear the computer working, itunes works and everything....but the display will not wake back up.....
