Every major version of Mac OS X macOS has come with a new default wallpaper. As you can see, I have collected them all here. While great in their day, the early wallpapers are now quite small in the world of 5K and 6K displays. If you want to see detailed screenshots of every release of OS X, click here. The SMC in your Mac is the System Management Controller, a low-level component of your Mac hardware that controls and manages system hardware. Resetting the SMC is another tool in your toolbox of white screen solutions. The reset process is different for different Mac models, so be sure to read the section below pertaining to your Mac. Shutting Down Your Mac Keeps It From Running Maintenance Tasks. The main reason for letting your Mac sleep instead of shutting it down is that your Mac can’t perform maintenance tasks during the night if you shut it down. MacOS does a lot every night while your Mac isn’t being used and it is “sleeping”.

And just recently, numerous users have reported instances where their Macs always restart while on sleep mode. Simply said, when they put their Mac to sleep, after a few minutes or hours, the system will just wake up on its own.

But no, this isn’t some sort of sorcery or black magic. It’s not even a doing of an elemental or an out-of-this-world being. It’s simply an issue with Macs. A number of solutions have been suggested already. We’ll discuss more of them below. But before we proceed to possible solutions, allow us to share with you some causes why your Mac always restarts on sleep mode.

Why Macs or Mac Minis Always Restart on Sleep Mode

If you have discovered that your Mac suddenly woke up from sleep mode even without interaction, just relax. Again, it’s not a ghost. Rather, it has something to do with your system settings.

Pro Tip: Scan your Mac for performance issues, junk files, harmful apps, and security threats
that can cause system issues or slow performance.

When you put your Mac on sleep mode, it will then power down but stay on standby. This means that even if the majority of your Mac’s components are shut off, including the processor and storage drives, the memory will continue running so that it can quickly wake up and pick up where you have left off.

Although the sleep mode is great to use when you don’t want to shut down your Mac, but want to save power, oftentimes it is rather pointless and futile as it could trigger errors and problems.

How to Set Up Your Mac’s Sleep Mode

First off, why is there a sleep mode? Is it a mandatory function? Of course, it’s not. But it is quite handy for Mac owners who frequently use their devices and don’t want to completely turn them off every time.

To set up your Mac’s sleep mode, you simply have to follow these steps:

1. Click on the Apple menu.
2. Select System Preferences.
3. Choose Energy Saver.
4. Set the amount of time the screen should wait before it falls asleep.
5. Keep your Mac from automatically going to sleep by clicking on the Prevent computer from sleeping automatically option.
6. Restart your Mac.

5 Easy Fixes for Mac Restarting Issues When on Sleep Mode

You don’t have to dwell so much thinking whether or not you should put your Mac on sleep mode. It’s an issue that has many quick fixes.

If you encounter Mac restarting problems while it’s on sleep mode, here are some solutions to try:

Fix #1: Unplug the USB Devices.

Among the biggest culprits of Mac restarting problems are USB devices that you have currently plugged in, such as keyboards, mouse, or headsets. So, to check if they are actually causing the problem, follow these steps:

1. First, set your Mac’s automatic sleep mode to the shortest possible setting. To do it, go to System Preferences and select Energy Saver.
2. Move the slider next to the Computer Sleep section all the way to the right.
3. Now, unplug all the USB devices connected to your Mac.
4. Wait for your Mac to go to sleep mode on its own.
5. If it does not wake up from sleep, then you have figured out the problem. It’s probably one of the USB devices that is causing the issue.
6. Plug the USB devices back to your Mac one-by-one to figure out which particular device is causing the problem.

In case you are wondering why a USB device is considered a culprit, well, the answer is simple. It is possible that one key on your keyboard or one button of your mouse is malfunctioning. It might be sending that information to your Mac; hence it cannot go to deep sleep.

Fix #2: Check Your Network Activity.

If your Mac is currently connected to the Internet, it is possible that it will wake up from sleep because there is some on-going internet activity or other crucial network processes.

This is likely to happen if your Mac is connected to a network drive or a server. Whenever a network drive is active, it could trigger your Mac to wake up. This is also the case for Printer, File, or iTunes sharing.

To prevent these things from happening, do the following:

1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Select Energy Saver.
3. Untick the box next to the Wake for Network Access option.
4. From now on, any outside network or internet activity will no longer cause your Mac to wake up.

Fix #3: Reset Your Mac’s SMC.

Network activities and faulty USB devices are two common reasons why your Mac wakes up from sleep mode. But if they remain unfixed at this point, we suggest that you try to reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

The SMC controls your Mac’s power manager. It stores all the options and settings for your Mac when it sleeps. When it becomes corrupted, it can trigger random wake-ups.

To fix problems with your Mac’s SMC, you can just reset it. Here’s how you do it:

1. Put your Mac to sleep.
2. Wake it up after a few seconds.
3. Restart your Mac.
4. Wait for it to completely boot up.
5. Shut it down again.

If you are using a MacBook, here’s how you reset the SMC.

1. Make sure your MacBook is plugged into a power source.
2. Press the Control, Option, and Shift keys while pressing the Power button. Hold them for three seconds.
3. Release all the buttons together.
4. Switch on your Mac.

Fix #4: Delete Unnecessary Files.

Oftentimes, your Mac wakes up from sleep mode because of unnecessary or junk files that are messing with your system processes. To ensure they don’t interfere with important processes, make it a habit to delete files you don’t need.

However, identifying unnecessary or junk files may be confusing at times. Thus, we recommend that you use a third-party Mac repair tool. With a reliable Mac repair tool, you can ensure no junk files will ever take up valuable system space and affect your Mac’s important system processes.

Fix #5: Seek Help from a Certified Apple Technician.

If all else fails, your last resort is to take your Mac to the nearest Apple Store. Let any of the technicians check your Mac for any serious hardware or software problems and have them all repaired. Don’t worry, because these repairs won’t cost a lot, especially if your Mac is still on warranty.

Did we also mention that this solution is highly recommended if you are in doubt with your technical skills?

Conclusion

You really don’t need to be scared when your Mac keeps restarting while it’s on sleep mode. Sleep-wake problems like this are common among Mac devices. All you have to do is to try any of the suggested fixes above and you should be alright.

• 7Unused Graphics

Sub-Pages

Unused Cutscene

An unused cutscene that would fit well as a post-credits cutscene. This area is part of the same map that contains Hat Kid's sleeping 'The End' scene, after the credits. Changing the in-game lighting reveals that there is a rogue coat rack hiding just outside of the scene. The room design shows that this scene takes place within Mafia Town.

Unseen Area

Hidden away in the credits sequence away from the player's view is a tent with a blackboard inside like those seen in the Alpha and Beta builds of the game, it features the thank you from Mario at the end of Super Mario 64 and a few words of encouragement from W.T.N, that being William T. Nicholls, the Gears For Breakfast's art director and level designer.

Unused Cinematics

Unused cinematics from the Alpha trailer remain in the game. Within Mafia Town, there are four unused cinematics called cine1, cine2, cine3 and cine4. To see them, open the developer console and enter enablecheats. Then write ce <cinematic name>, and the cinematic will play.

In Mafia Town HQ has two strange unused cinematics called Bird and rs. The cinematic named Bird transforms the player into a rat. They can move and hit Hat Kid only if they are close to her. The other cinematic is in the kitchen. When it is played, the music stops and the camera zooms onto a Mafia cook working on some food. The cinematic's description calls it 'Rhythm Segment'. It might have been an introductory cutscene to a rhythm-based minigame of some sort.

Unused Music

Beta File Select

A leftover from the Beta build of the game. It played on the title screen and file select screen.

Guard Caught Jingle

A variation of the jingle that plays upon selecting who the murderer is in the act 'Murder on the Owl Express'. Judging by the filename, it would have played upon being caught in the stealth segment.

Hub World Secret Pillow Hideout Variation Intro

A variation of the tune that plays every time the player enters Hat Kid's Spaceship. As there is never an instance where the intro plays from within the pillow fort, this variation is unused.

Sand 'n Sails Level Intro

The level introduction theme that would have played while starting the cut chapter 'Sand 'n Sails'.

Unused Text

Mafia.ini

An unused script about ties from the beta of the game.

cafescene.int

A script for the unused cafe scene in the section above.

debug.int

Standard Mafia dialogue.

Unused Diary Entries

Hat Kid's diary can be found in her bedroom by using the Ice Hat on the pile of pillows. Since both the Ice Hat and the first few Time Pieces are required to access this area, these diary entries are rendered inaccessible:

An entry for the prologue and Chapter 1, Act 1.

An entry for Chapter 1, Act 2.

An entry for Chapter 1, Act 3. Note that the words 'Time Piece' are rendered with an icon and colorization.

One more is very difficult to see in-game, because you need to save and exit from Dead Bird Studios after getting the Ice Hat then get three more Time Pieces from Time Rifts:

An entry for Chapter 1, Act 4.

An entry for Chapter 5, Act 1. The game never shows this entry due to a bug

Unused Mustache Girl Dialog

An unused cutscene in Subcon Forest featuring Mustache Girl and Snatcher.

Unused Graphics

A collectible birb. It can no longer be collected.

Menu icons for collected and uncollected Time Pieces. These originated from the Alpha build.

UI relating to 'Badge Points', a function removed for the final game. Badge Points were only available in the Alpha and Beta builds.

A texture for the now-removed Electro Badge. This badge appeared in pre-release builds of the game.

A badge that went unused for the Ice mechanic. Being eventually replaced with the 'Ice Hat' in the final game. It was formally known as the 'Ice Statue Badge'.

An early badge referred to as the 'Owl's Brew Badge'. It was eventually replaced with the 'Brewing Hat' in the final game.

An unused UI image for Hover Yarn. The hover functionality was modified and delegated to a badge instead of a hat.

A placeholder UI icon for a water flask, using its 3D model. The water flask was not used for the final game, and was likely related to the 'Sand 'n Sails' chapter before that chapter was turned into 'Alpine Skyline'.

A placeholder UI icon for the Dweller's Mask, using its 3D model.

A concept design of the game's title screen.

An additional concept design visualizing object paths. It contains some notes in yellow that are too small to read.

A watermark leftover from the previous speedrun event build.

Prototype/Alpha Build Graphics

Graphics found within the Alpha build of the game. Features leftover assets from the Prototype build.

UI originally used in the act: 'Barrel Battle'. It was modified in the Beta build of the game and removed completely in the final.

Pretty self explanatory. Early UI for the Badge menu.

A collection of leftover icons and logos used in the prototype build.

Early icon and name for the act that eventually became both 'Welcome to Mafia Town' and 'Barrel Battle'.

Early icon and name for the act 'Heating up Mafia Town'.

Early icon and name for an unknown act in the Subcon Forest.

Early icon and name for the act 'Queen Vanessa's Manor'.

This was used to obscure a couple of the icons listed above. This was used as a way to promote their Kickstarter page at the time.

Credits from the Alpha Build of the game.
