After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep

after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 2
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 3
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging

    My 15" i5 MacBook Pro won't sleep when charging; a reboot of the machine solves the problem temporarily, but it always recurs.  When I close the lid and listen carefully, I can hear hard drive activity; the drive sounds like it keeps spinning up every 10 seconds or so.
    This is not an issue when trying to sleep when running on the battery only. Any advice?

    I don't have launch2net installed.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep or shutdown (intermittent problem)

    Every so often my MacBook Pro won't sleep or shut down. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it.
    I notice the problem when I close lid, and it doesn't go to sleep. I then hit apple menu:sleep, and it does nothing. I hit shutdown, and OS shuts down, but gets stuck at blue screen with spinning circle indefinitely. Have to hold power button for 5 seconds to finally shut down. Startup is then slow, but doesn't give me an error message indicating improper shutdown or failure.
    Most of the time it sleeps fine and shuts down fine.
    Other posts seemed to have the problem more reliably, and the fix had to do with startup items. Mine is intermittent, and the only items in my startup folder are Norton Antivirus and Parallels.

    I am also experiencing the exact same problem you are describing. Completely random when the machine will not sleep or shutdown, although it seems to occur more often when I've had the machine running for a few days, moving between home and office locations.
    I have VMWare Fusion and Office 2004 installed. No iStatPro. I'm wondering could it be related to the kernel extensions that VMWare and Parallels install? Is anybody experiencing the non-shutting-down problem who doesn't have either VMWare or Parallels installed?
    I found the following section in my system.log file that occurred the last time the machine wouldn't shut down. May be of some use to somebody

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows (again!)

    This problem originally occurred about a year ago and no solution was found then but after a time, it simply went away. Well, now it's back: after a reboot into OS X (10.6.7) from Windows (7 Ultimate 64 Bit), my MacBook Pro refuses to sleep until rebooted a second time, after which it behaves correctly again. The Console log reports the following message: "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". I've disabled Growl and DropBox (possible suspects last time) to no effect, reset the SMC and PRAM, all the usual things. I've tried when connected to mains power or battery, on wired, wireless or no network at all and still the same problem. Sleep behaviour under Windows is correct. Hopefully the problem will eventually cure itself as it did last time but I would like to discover the reason and find out what this "remote login session" could possibly be. To reiterate, this ONLY occurs immediately after rebooting from Windows.

    Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
    Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
    From log:

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep when lid shuts or hit sleep

    Hey Everyone,
    So after the latest update my Macbook pro no longer immediately sleeps after shutting the lid. It also won't sleep when 'sleep' is hit in the apple menu. It's actually really annoying as I need it for security.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Try Reset SMC.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep, even in safe boot

    Hey gang,
    I can't figure out what to do with this problem. I recently did an archive & install of 10.5 on my 2.33 GHz MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo, and then used software update to get to 10.5.2.
    Ever since doing that, my MacBook Pro will not sleep on its own anymore. It will sleep the display, but it won't sleep the system. (I can close the lid and it will sleep. I can also choose "Sleep" from the Apple Menu, and it will sleep. It just won't sleep on its own.)
    At first I thought it might be Time Machine that was preventing it from sleeping, but I turned off Time Machine and the problem persisted. I tried creating a new user, and the problem persisted. In fact, I EVEN BOOTED IN SAFE MODE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED!
    I went through every single step outlined on this page (yes, every single step), and the problem still persisted: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070129234938244
    Does anybody have any ideas what I can do at this point? I'm pulling out my hair over here....
    Thanks!
    Scott

    I see you've done your homework. I have this no auto-sleep problem on my Mac pro and none of those things worked for me either but I thought you should give them a shot.
    I made a little sleep program of my own. You are welcome to try it. It's a very simple shell script that checks system idle time and if it's bigger than the sleep timer you set in system preferences it puts your computer to sleep. It will work so long as you can manually put your computer to sleep from the apple menu.
    You'll also need to create a launch daemon to periodically run the script.
    here are the steps to do it.
    1. copy and paste the following into TextEdit.
    #!/bin/bash
    idl=$"`ioreg -c IOHIDSystem | awk '/HIDIdleTime/ {print int($NF/1000000000); exit}'`"
    sleeptimer=$"`defaults read /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement "Custom Profile" | grep "System Sleep Timer" | awk '{print $5}' | sed -e 's/;//g'`"
    st=`expr $sleeptimer \* 60 `
    if \[ $idl -gt $st \]; then
    shutdown -s now
    fi
    2. Format it as *plain text* (shiftcommandT in TextEdit) and save it as sleep.sh (don't use the .txt extension) at the top level of your hard drive.
    3. make it unix executable by entering the following command in terminal.
    *chmod 755 /sleep.sh*
    4. Download and install [Lingon|http://lingon.sourceforge.net>.
    5. Open Lingon and create a new *Users Daemon*
    Call it,say, com.sleep.launchd (the name is not important)
    On line 2. enter /sleep.sh
    and in section 3 set it to run every 30 seconds.
    Click save (you'll have to enter your admin password).
    6. Restart.
    That's it. Once this is done you can forget about it. The sleep settings are still controlled from system preferences. The sleep agent will work with every user and even over the login window.
    To uninstall it, open Lingon, select the launch daemon you made and uncheck the box "Enabled" in the upper right corner. save and restart.

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep when lid open

    My 2011 Macbook Pro won't go to sleep if I leave the lid open. I have checked System Preferences>Energy Saver and the display/computer sleep is set to 10 min for both Battery and Power Adapter settings. Even if I close all the applications down, my computer will still not go to sleep. The battery just gets completely drained if I forget to close the lid. Help?

  • MacBook Pro won't Sleep or Shut Down

    My MacBook Pro won't go to sleep or shut down.
    Sleep
    The behaviour is the same whether I press the power button and choose 'Sleep' or whether I choose 'Sleep' from the Apple menu. The computer stays awake, but it loses the ability to respond to Keyboard Shortcuts, such as those used for Expose, and can get stuck in some Apps. If I close the lid the computer stays awake but the screen blacks out. Re-openning the lid does not re-illuminate the screen so I have to force shut down and re-boot.
    *Shut Down*
    The behaviour is erratic. Sometimes the computer simply ignores me (although it does close the 'Are you sure you want to Shut Down now?' window), and sometimes it goes to the blue screen with the progress circle and hangs.
    *What I've tried already*
    - Resetting the SMC
    - Checked the Firmware versions are the latest

  • Macbook Pro won't sleep after updating to 10.4.11

    Hi,
    I just updated to 10.4.11 reluctantly from 10.4.9 as whenever I do update I always have issues...I basically just went to software update last week and updated to everything I could. I've just been reading the forums and noted that updating is not always that easy...
    Well basically my computer won't sleep if the lid is left open, this is IMMENSELY annoying since I often leave my desk to work on drawings, and I don't want energy being wasted like it is at the minute. Call me picky but I just want my computer to work.
    I've reseted the PRAM, (option, alt, p and r), closed all applications, etc, but no luck...
    Its a 2.2ghz MacBook pro, 2GB. Thank you in advance
    Neal

    The important thing for the future imho, is to always Repair Permissions before & after any update... seems to ward off most of these problems. Of course that is only good if the disk is Verified once in awhile.
    Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later to verify or repair disks...

    About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature...

    In fact I'd start with those 2 now, if that doesn't help you may need to reapply some updates by getting them directly from apple>downloads.

  • Mac Won't Boot after Boot Camp Windows Update - Macbook Pro Mid 2010

    Hello All, and thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
    I have a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro. Last year I upgraded the RAM, then this year I decided to upgrade the hard drive to an SSD-hybrid. Everything went perfectly smoothly with both upgrades, and I was a happy camper.
    I had also installed Boot Camp with Windows 7 and everything worked perfectly. Then last night, I boot in to Windows 7 and it gives me a 'service pack update'. After installing it, I had to reboot my computer. Rebooted it and it accidently started booting OSX. No problem, I thought. I held down the power button, and booted back in to Windows. The service pack installation continued and it had me restart my computer an obscene amount of times during the installation. This is when I initially thought "this is weird".
    Finally the service pack installs, and I'm able to use Windows 7 again. Then I shut down the machine and tried to boot back into OSX. No dice.
    Here's how the OSX booting process goes:
    First, the Apple logo appears, then what appears to be a progressive loading bar at the bottom. After a few seconds, the loading bar disappears. Then it's just at the Apple booting screen with the spinning wheel/gear and sits there indefinitiely. I let it sit there for over an hour last night and nothing happened.
    Any suggestions? I tried resetting the NVRAM and the SMC.
    Thanks so much,
    dlevv

    It looks like a hard disk problem. Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair your drive

  • After 10.5.5 update, MacBook Pro LCD not working.

    After I updated to 10.5.5 my MacBook Pro worked fine, until I put it to sleep. Now, the screen won't come back on even after restarting and removing the battery.
    Also, I can't even get an external monitor to work.
    I can hear the volume idicator sounds working when I adjust the volume so I know that the computer is working, just not the screen.

    No guarantee but there are two things that sometimes help:
    Reboot into the Safe mode (hold down Shift key on boot) but when you get to the login screen click restart.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the PRAM.

  • Battery Not Charging after 10.6.8 Update (Macbook Pro 13' i5 2011)

    Hi,
    I own a 4 months old Macbook Pro 13in with i5 processor. I was using it normally until yesterday, when a software update prompting for enhancements on thunderbolt drivers and some stuff regarding OS X Lion was displayed. I started the software update, let the macbook plugged in and went to sleep.
    Today I found out that my battery is not charging anymore (when plugged in, the magsafe led lights green and the energy saver displays Not Charging). I've already tried to restart SMC to no result(unplugged, waited for 15 sec, plugged again and after 5 sec turned it on).
    Basically, my macbook is now useless. I use it mainly in the college, cant have it always plugged in and my second half classes start tomorrow!
    I dont have a time machine backup.
    I dont want to open the macbook since its still under warranty. What should I do?

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit running on a BootCamp partition on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.3. When I first installed 7 last year, I initially had a strange problem in that the Mac wouldn't sleep (default settings) when rebooted back into OS X from BootCamp. If I did another restart in OS X, everything returned to normal. I never found a solution to the problem but after a while it went away and things worked properly. Now, after several months and for no good reason I can think of, the problem has returned. Everything works correctly in both OSs except for this. Any help would be appreciated.
    Clive

    Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
    Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
    From log:
