Macbook pro goes to sleep only when lid is closed
only than I can see the light flickering. when i change the energy saver option to let the mac sleep after 1 minute for instance, its not flickering and I hear the hdd still working.
thanks
Frankly, I have run out of suggestions. Other than..........
If you have not already done so, disconnect all devices from the MBP.
Try a PRAM zap.
Make sure the padlock is locked in Energy Settings.
IF no one else chimes in here, take the MBP to your local Apple Store or an AASP. Hopefully, you have Apple Care. Let them deal w/it.

MacBook - stop going to sleep mode When lid closed
Hi ,
I am using handbrake to convert video files on macbook .
I want to close the laptop lid and still want the process to run in background .
Some one mentioned that if the laptop lid is closed and the system is running it gets heated rapidly .
I want to do this for 45 minutes ( commute between office and home ).
So , how do I close the lid ( display ) and not allow the system to go to standby/sleep.
Thanks
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)You could also use InsomniaX.
I do not think that it's that bad for your macbook (heat generation); see this article: How to use your PowerBook G4, MacBook Pro or MacBook with the display closed.
I would not recommend picking your notebook up, though, since the hard disk's heads could scratch your hard disk... That's one of the things standby prevents.
By the way; why wouldn't you use standby? Your mac goes in standby rapidly, and wakes up even faster! -
MacBook Pro (mid 2012) turns on when lid is closed and MagSafe gets attached or detached.
I own a mid-2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. I run OS X 10.8.4.
I'd like to know if the following behavior is normal: when the computer is sleeping with the lid closed, and the MagSafe adaptor is either attached or detached, removing it or attaching it (with the lid still closed) will make the computer wake up from sleep. You can easily hear the fans starting when it does so. It'll stay on for 30 seconds to a minute, and then go back to sleep again. The screen doesn't seem to turn on when this happens and the lid is closed. Opening the lid when the computer exhibits this behavior results in a black (and useless) screen. In order to be able to use the pc you need to wait until it goes back to sleep on its own and then turn it back on.
Another (possibly related) issue appears when the PC turns off automatically (either while running or during sleep) because the battery is exhausted. When this happens, I usually attach the adapter (with the lid open, most of the times) and then press on the power button. A black-and-white screen with a loading bar appears for a few seconds, and then the full-color login screen appears (my pc is set to ask for the password every time it wakes from sleep). After the loading bar is gone and the full-color screen is back, I am unable to input my password, even though the password field looks focused. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse are responsive. This often happens in such a way that it is impossible for me to input my password (or interact with my pc) before it goes back to sleep for lack of interaction. Recently I've discovered that randomly pressing the power button and some keys on the keyboard (I still don't know what exactly triggers this) will make it able to receive input and thus I'll be able to type in my password and log in.
I'd like to know if any of you have encountered the two behaviors I've described and if you think they're normal or have any solutions for them.Hello terabytest,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro exhibiting the behavior you described. For a message like this, I recommend resetting your System Management Controller (SMC) and NVRAM.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
You can find the full article here:Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

New Macbook Pro Retina continually re-starting when lid is closed - Kernal Panic included
Hello,
I called 800-MYAPPLE for tech support but they were not able to help me at all, hoping someone here can help. My new MacBook Pro Retina has been continually re-starting when the lid is closed. It does not happen every time, may 20% of the time. I am running Windows 8 on Boot Camp if that piece of information is important. Here is the latest kernal panic from the log:

Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?
Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

MacBook Pro goes to sleep when copying files from attached drives
I have noticed that since installing Yosemite my MacBook Pro goes to sleep when it is in the middle of copying a large number of files. When I wake it up the copying continues.
I have also noticed that when I am watching videos from my shared iTunes library on an Apple TV the video will stop after about 15 minutes and the connection to the library is lost because the MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. When woken up then access to the library is restored but I need to reselect the movie and then resume.
I have changed the power saving options to do not let drives sleep when idle and do not sleep laptop.
Anyone else have any experience of this or better still a fix.
Thanks in advance.I have just found that if I turn off the display sleep in the power settings then the problem is resolved. It means though that the screen on my MacBook Pro is on all the time albeit with a screen saver.

my macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up afterwards. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display, because I noticed that the same problem arose when the display was attached.
Now with the new board, it can't be the display's fault. I hope it is not macbook pro's main board fault. Maybe hasthe notebook board been damaged by the faulty display?
To bring my MacBook Pro to service will slow down my work. This is why I am posting this message, in the hope to be able to run a diagnostic test myself.
Thanks a lot, in advance.Hello Aminetti,
It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Reset SMC
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Test with external devices disconnected
Try Safe Mode
Try another user account
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

Macbook pro goes to sleep doesn't wake up...noticed the light on the power cord not on...
My MacBook Pro goes to sleep and this time will not wake up. I hold the start button down for count of 10 without results. I noticed the light on my power cord isn't on...and I've jiggled the cord and plugged it into a working outlet. Help!
All Apple laptops will go to sleep when the battery gets low, during this sleep you will not be able to wake it up. based on what you are saying, to me it sounds like the battery is low because your power supply failed. I would recommend either barrowing power supply from a friend, or bring it to the apple store, that way you can test it with a good power supply, it that is the case, replace it.

My Macbook Pro goes to sleep when I connect the magsafe adapter.
Hi, if I am using my MBP on battery and then 1) close the lid to put it to sleep, 2) later connect it to the magsafe and then 3) try to wake it up (in that order only, and more frequently if in the login screen), it powers up for a second then goes back to sleep. Not always but frequently. It takes about 10 seconds to power down, and then once asleep, it takes about 5 seconds before it will wake up again. After that, everything is fine. My only workaround seems to be to wake the computer first, wait about 10 seconds and then connect the magsafe. Has anyone else experienced this? I never noticed this before I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
This very well could be the same issue as below. Please read the full copy of the post and see if the behavior matches. What's happeing is that if you have this update installed, whenever you plug or unplug the power adapter to the laptop, the system will wake from sleep and then go back to sleep if the lid is closed. What you're doing is plugging it in which causes it to wake up, then when you finally open it a couple of seconds later, you're catching it as it's going back to sleep and once it does that it then sees that you opened it and wakes back up again. Either plug it in and wait for that wake/sleep and then open it or open it and then plug it in.
Post about the problem in detail:
This is a problem with all 2012 MacBook Pros that have applied the update DL1609 via Software Update. This update is called MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0. The only fix that exists for this is to reinstall OSX and just not install this update when it shows in the available updates list in the AppStore. Just hide it until this issue is fixed by Apple.
If your OSX 10.8.2 version is anything after version (12C60) then you will have this problem. The problem is as follows. With the system asleep with clamshell closed, plugging and unplugging the power cable causes the system to wake up and go back to sleep. Additionally, leaving the system plugged into power for over 4 hours will cause the system to go into hibernation, but only when plugged in. If it's not connected to AC power while sleeping for that long, it will not enter hibernation.
Please call Apple and complain about this problem. I have been working with them for over a month and a half trying to get them to fix this and it's a major hand-holding process because they didn't initially understand the issue. Add to that the fact that they insisted that this problem doesn't exist and it just made it that much harder to get them to see the issue.
You need to call them AppleCare and let them know you're having this problem. Along with that, email the rep you're working with links to every Apple Support Forum thread you can find on this. Trust me, there are several with this same exact problem. -

Hi Alex,
This doesn't fit exactly under the definition for using an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 but I'd give it a try. -
HT1338 My macbook pro goes to sleep randomly and only wakes up when i tilt it
I bought my new macbook pro last june in miami and somehow it just goes to sleep on its own in the middle of doing anything.
Clicking, pressing the start button, the space bar or anything won't wake it up. Tilting it or lifting the computer would. And that's scaring me. It just did it 4 times in a row and i am just browsing the web
Anyone know if this is a hardware thing or the software is going nuts or my mac is haunted ??
I have the mac insurance thingy so should i call them or what do i do? Thanks for the helpCheck your current setup (I left my MBP as "3")
go to Utilities > Terminal
After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
press 'enter'
You should see something like this:
$ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
hibernatemode 3
Great, so your machine is using mode 3, whatever that might be. Well, thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it), we can tell exactly which mode is which:
* 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
* 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
* 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
also, I enabled this:
go to Utilities > Terminal
type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?

Safari shuts down when Macbook Pro goes to sleep in 10.10.1
When I leave the computer open and the screen goes to sleep, I am finding that when I bring it back up, Safari has shut itself down. I have a Macbook Pro 13" with Yosemite 10.10.1
Try having a look in Console, in your Utilities folder. This shows you what your Mac is trying to do on shutdown.
You could post the results back here for people to have a look at. -
MacBook Pro won't sleep properly when Aperture 1.1.2 is running.
I was working on photos in the airport. I closed the lid of my MacBook Pro, put it in my awesome BrainCell from Tom Bihn, got on the plane, and when I took out the MacBook after we passed 10,000 ft - my machine had crashed. It was insanely hot - like, too hot to literally handle. I booted it, and it reported kernel panic. I see the same behavior if I put the MacBook to sleep explicitly (which it appears to do) and Aperture is running. Crash, unless I'm plugged in and constantly giving it power.
My MacBook does not do this when apps like Firefox are running. This is very bad - it has caused corruption in one of my libraries already. Aside from always quitting Aperture before going to sleep, does anyone know of a fix for this?Sleep/wake issues have haunted every powerbook I've owned, from the 3400 to the Lombard to my PB G4. I use a Kyocera KPC650 with my G4 PB, and the rule of thumb is it's necessary to kill the connection and remove the EVDO card BEFORE attempting to put the PowerBook to sleep. Just a bad idea to risk it.
I've had problems with USB dongles, hubs, etc. and after years of trying to resolve the source of sleep/wake issues, the general rule of thumb for ALL Mac PB/MBP is to remove peripheral devices before attempting sleep, or at least NEVER change what's inserted into the computer while it IS asleep (USB peripherals, drives, etc, but this even includes power adapters). A general observation is that the computer freaks out if status of peripherals is changed while asleep, and it wakes up to a different condition set than when it went to sleep. In most cases, resolution requires a hard reboot/re-start (sometimes this can be avoided by closing the lid, and trying to get the computer to re-engage sleep, then trying to wake it again).
In some cases, I suspect too many peripheral devices places a burden on the power supply, and the computer can't supply enough juice to power up the devices under the load.
So some problems stem from hardware issues, and some from software problems. Best answer is to not even try, as there's too many variables (e.g. right-sided USB ports behave differently than left-sided ports, etc).

Macbook Pro goes to sleep instead of shutdown...
Hi!
I'm new to this forum, I've tried asking on my local apple forum by=ut they wern't able to help me... Maybe you'll be...
My problem is that infrequently my macbook pro after hitting the "shut down" button seems to shut down, the screen goes blank, but when i close the cover the sleep mode icon turns on... Then it is impossible to turn him back on... The only thing left to do is remove the battery and then put it back in.
After the system starts it says sth like: MAC OSX quit unexpectadly, report?
My only guess is that it could be connected with the double command. But I have the newest version and it is said to be workig with leopard fine...Try having a look in Console, in your Utilities folder. This shows you what your Mac is trying to do on shutdown.

Macbook pro goes into sleep mode after few minutes and won't wake up
Since yesterday my MB pro suddenly goes in sleep mode while working and won't wake up. After reset the MB Pro goes into Sleepmode befor I get the log in screen. After resettin SMC and PRAM I can log in but after a few minutes, againg deep sleep. I'ts not a software isue I think because when I use my MB Pro's harddrive by firewire as the startup disk on an other macbook it works fine. anyone knows about this problem?
It sounds obvious but are you sure your power adapter is ok and the battery is charged. The behaviour sounds a lot like low battery sleep.
Press the check button on your battery pack - do you get plenty of lights?
