Hi and Happy New Year to everyone. I run FMP 19.4.2 on a MacbookPro with M1 Pro MacOS Monterey 12.0.1. I open files located on an FMS Server. When the Macbook goes out from sleep, way too often either FMP crashes or can't reconnect. The duration of the sleep does not seem to be in relation with th…

12.1 ??? The Mac never told me 12.1 was released. Now that I checked, it's in System Preferences. Thanks for the tip, I will install 12.1 and post back.

I've found every version i've used of FMP disconnects me if the computer goes to sleep. Thats why I use Amphetamine (app store link) to keep my computer awake when doing FMP development.

FMP 19.4.2 and Monterey 12.1 same problem.

This seems to be an inconsistent problem. I normally have not problem reconnecting when my computer goes to sleep. I currently use FMP 19.3.2 and Mac OS X 11.6.1, however this behaviour has been consistent for a while now. From time to time, however, things don't work out. I have yet to see a patt…

Never had fmp crash on wake but I’m not on an M1. Remote DBs are disconnected unless you wake the machine within the timeframe fmp has set for keeping connections alive. That is only a few minutes. Local DBs reconnect every time.

Before running longer scripts, I execute ´caffeinate &‘ in the shell, which prevents the Mac from going into deep sleep mode.

I have the hot corners configured, top left is never sleep. I simply push the cursor into that corner. Or push it to the server with PSOS.

I also started using the Amphetamine app. It does a good job of keeping the computer awake so that it does not loose connection if I'm away from the computer too long..
