HT204267 My Macbook Pro 13 refuses to turn on after i place it in sleep mode by closing the lid.

My Macbook Pro 13 refuses to turn on after i place it in sleep mode by closing the lid, after opening the lid the led sleep indicator is still on and the screen hasn't revived but once i press any button to revive it, it goes off and refuses to turn on. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello Carlens J,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep, and shuts down when you try to wake it.
Try these troubleshooting steps to remedy the situation, or if your Mac is currently not powering on:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake - Apple Support
Reset SMC
The System Management Controller (SMC) is involved in managing power on your computer. Reset the SMC on your Mac if you are having difficulty sleeping or waking your computer.
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM)/Parameter RAM (PRAM) stores some power-related settings.Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM if you are having difficulty sleeping or waking your computer.
Test with external devices disconnected
Some external devices can prevent your computer from sleeping. Try disconnecting items other than your Apple keyboard or mouse from the built-in USB, Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on your Mac. If this resolves the issue, try reconnecting your external devices one at a time until you find the device preventing sleep or wake. Check the documentation that came with the device, or contact the device manufacturer for more information.
Try Safe Mode
Check to see if the issue still occurs when the computer is started in Safe Mode. If this resolves the issue, it could be related to a third party software item such as:
a login item
a startup item
a third party kernel extension
Best Regards,
Jeremy

MacBook Pro won't turn on after closing lid & fully charged. Help!

I have a MacBook Pro from June 2008, I have been using it all day, this evening it was fully charged and I left it on with the screen open - by the time I came back the screen was black ( I assumed it had gone to sleep) I closed the lid to take it upstairs to discover that when I opened it the power light was not on. When I press the power button nothing happens, but if I hold the power button for around 5 seconds the light stays on, the laptop sounds like it is trying to start up but then dies. I have tried the smc reset, but it has not worked. Also tried taking the battery out and trying this with just power adapter. Does anyone have any clues to what is wrong? Or do I just take it into the apple store?
Thanks, really could do with some help!!

Hey Pascale,
I am not sure if you have fixed this but I had the same problem and found some advice from another website...
http://www.adeepbite.com/lion-seems-having-insomnia-it-doesnt-sleep-easily/
All I had to do was turn off my "internet sharing" (System preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing (uncheck) )
and presto, no more closing lid problems.
If your internet sharing wasn't the issue then I don' t know what is.
Cheers

MacBook Pro doesn't turn on after Win8 bootcamp installation

Hi,
I have installed Windows 8 on my MacBook Pro Retina 15,7" 500Gb 16GbRAM with the Bootcamp assistant. After that, i lowered the screen (like if i wanted to go on repose mode) and then, my mac doesn't turn on anymore.
All in black, no grey screen but the charge seems to work (the Green LED turns on when i connect it on the electricity, this is the only sign that something is still "alive" there)
Thank you all for the help!

Its coming today, but i am just wondering if this is normal for macbook pro not to turn on randomly?

Macbook pro doesn't turn on after full charge?

Hi, I bought used macbook pro yesterday from ebay. The macbook arrived clean in a secure box, i turned it on and it worked stright from there. I used it on battery for like 4 hours and then i shut it down and put it on charge and went to work. When i came back and i saw the battery was fully charged. i unplugged the macbook pro and tried to power it on. The macbook pro didn't respond, no light, no chime, no hard disk noise and no white screen!!
It just made me so much worried and started looking over the net. I found out some reset options and tried but invain. After all this i was so much stressed that i tried to contact the seller. The seller said he had it for about two years and never had any problem like that.
However I tried to power it up in morning and it just powered up and worked flawlessly.My question is what could have went wrong there?? I'm just worried if that problem is gonna come back again and again. I never had this sort of problem on my Vaio laptop. Is there anything that i dont understand about macbook or be cautious about??
However I must confess, I used 60W megsafe charger but only when my laptop was switched off and I was aware not to run it on 60W charger.
Thanks,
Adnan

Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                  The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                  The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                  The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                  Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
Troubleshooting Applications
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
    used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
    requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
    drive being backed up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Pre-Mavericks
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

Macbook pro refusing to turn on for longer than two seocunds

i have a macbook pro early 2008 model that is refusing to turn on for more than two seconds. it makes the hard drive sound as if it is about to book then shuts down. if i hold the power button it stays on for maybe 5 seconds before the little led at the front flashes rapidly then it turns off. i have tried every type of reset and i have even tried heating the logic board but none of this seems to work? it was fine until it didnt want to wake up from sleep so i restarted then it started doing this to me i have never had any problems with it previously. what should i do?

Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

My MacBook pro will not turn on after connecting to an external display

I connected my MacBook pro to a projector for a presentation using a VGA adapter. It worked for a couple of minutes, then my computer shut off and I can not turn it back on. It has never given any trouble before then. Now when I try to turn it on, the white led comes on briefly, then it makes a tone and nothing happens, the screen stays dark, any idea what is wrong????

Probably option, command, P, and R to reset the pram. Article at link.

MacBook Pro won't turn on after crash. Magsafe charger LED light blinking rapidly

Hi. I hope you can help me.
I have a macbook Pro 13", from september 2012, which crashed earlier today:
I was charging my iphone through USBport on my macbook (not an Apple USB-iPhone power-cable) .
My MacBook was charging through the magsafe charger (about 30% power i think).
I took the phone out to make a call, when that was done, I reconnected the phone to my mac for further charging.
My MacBook crashed instantly. I took out the USB cable, tried to turn on my mac, but nothing happened. There was no light in the magsafe LED.
The crashing has happened before, when I've been charging my phone through USB connections, but I've always been able to turn my mac back on.
This time nothing happened when I pushed the power button. It had comepletely shorted out.
BTW. Earlier today I received a "storage almost full" warning on my mac, and I was actually in the middle of cleaning that up (deleting downloads and trash files).
Typical and just my luck!
Now, a few hours later, I tried restoring SMC (shift+ctrl+alt+power), and now the charger LED is blinking rapidly (but faintly) orange.
Do you have any ideas on how to fix this? All applestores nearby are closed today, I live in Denmark.
Thank you so much in advance!
Kind regards Emilie

Try the SMC reset again:

Then try a NVRAM reset:

Then try a safe boot:

If no success, then you will have to take it in for service.
Ciao.

MacBook Pro doesn't turn on after 10.7.3 update

Hello,

After the computer restarted and installed the update it turned off, then when I tried to turn it on and it didn't do, do you have a similar issue after 10.7.3 update?, the screen never turns on and I can only hear the sound of DVD drive and immediately turns off, can you please help me to solve this issue? Thank you very mucho for your suggestions

Try these three things in this order:

MacBook Pro won't turn on after it goes to sleep

Everytime I fold it and it goes to sleep and re-open it, it doesn't turn on. I have to hold the power button and turn it on and off for about 15 minutes before it finally comes on. The battery is 100% charged and I got my MacBook Pro only a couple of months ago. The only other problem is ther everytime I restarted my computer, every desktop background automaticly reverts back to the first one. If anyone can tell me whats wrong please help.

My MacBook Pro won't turn on after the new update.

I left my MacBook Pro out and open for it to update and install the new software. When it finished, I connected my iPhone 5s with the laptop via the USB cable. And it completely shut down. And it won't turn on, restart, nor charge.

Did you try this?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Macbook Pro won't turn on after clicking the power button.

I left my laptop on sleep mode yesterday night but when I tried to use it this morning the screen stayed black. I than turned it off and when I clicked the power button to turn it on again, only the fan turns on but the screen stays black. This occurred last time and the apple tech clicked some buttons and it turned on.

MacBook Pro restarts precisely 5 minutes after wake up, due to sleep wake failure

I have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro running OS 10.9.3. When I am running on battery power, it restarts precisely 5 minutes after I open the lid and wake it up. I have no problems when connected to a power supply.
A (condensed) excerpt from the Console logs looks like this:
03/06/2014 01:16:02.000 kernel[0]: Wake reason: EHC1 OHC2
03/06/2014 21:59:21.000 kernel[0]: AirPort_Brcm43xx::powerChange: System Wake - Full Wake/ Dark Wake / Maintenance wake

See how the wake time and the restart time (in red) are exactly 5 minutes apart?
I have tried resetting NVRAM/PRAM, and the SMC reset, to no avail. DiskUtil finds no errors. The only variable I can control which affects the problem is whether the power cable is plugged in or not.
I would like to better understand the items in blue: the code for the wake reason (EHC1 OHC2), the enumeration of possible sleep causes (Previous Sleep Cause: 5) or the "I'm now going to screw up your work" notification (Restarting to collect Sleep wake debug logs).
Finally, there are errors relating to the USB controller. I would be interested in knowing if these are related, but I don't really know how to test for that.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Hi, I'm having a macbook pro here and it spoiled after a year of using, i though it was the power adapter problem because when i try to charge my mac battery that is depleted it shows a very dim light and my mac won't start up

Hi, I'm a macbook pro user but recently my macbook just spoiled, i though was my power adapter problem because when i charge my mac battery that is depleted, it shows a very dim light and my mac just won't start up, even i bought a brand new 80 euro power adapter it still give out the same result.

Try Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
If that doesn't help, try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
