[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1651920, member: 83420"] Truthfully, I don't know. I suppose you could, just once, shut the iMac down completely. Then shut off the power at the socket, then remove the power cable from the back of the iMac. Wait 15-20 minutes (have a cup of tea!). Then reconnect the cable, switch on the power and reboot. This process resets the SMC. It will do not a jot of harm and maybe, just maybe, restore things as before. Otherwise, like me, use the space bar. As I said in my first post, with wireless Mouse(s), I've never got it to reliably start the iMac from sleep. If you do decide to follow the above, post back. I'd be interested to know the result. Sorry not to be more helpful. Ian [/QUOTE]
