My mac is not cming out of sleep

When my iMac sleeps I have a hard timw getting it come out of it. Most of the time I have to shut it off to reboot. When it does come out of it it sayd Mirroragent was not responding. Any suggestions?

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

  • Monitor does not come out of sleep Mac-Mini Mini-DVI to Dual  DVI-D cable

    I have an August 2009 Mac-Mini that I'm using with an Apple supplied Mini-DVI to DVI adapter along with a DVI-D Dual Link Cable connect to a Sceptre X7XV-Naga+ LCD monitor.
    The monitor is going into sleep mode on its own with no way to disable this feature on the monitor itself. I've disabled sleep mode on the Mac-Mini in the power setting in System Preferences.
    When in sleep mode and I move the mouse or press a key, the monitor will not come out of sleep mode. From other posts, I read that the issue might be that I wasn't using a Dual-Link DVI-D cable, so I bought one and installed such a cable. That has not resolved the problem. The monitor will not come out of sleep mode. When I have the monitor connected with a mini-display port to VGA adapter instead of a DVI-D cable, it will come out of sleep mode every time.

    I know it's a year later, but I'm not finding much through search.
    I have the same exact problem.  Difference being I'm using an iMac with 10.7.5.
    Same video board and monitor - ATI Radeon HD 6750M video card connected via DisplayPort to Samsing S24A850DW.
    I've tried two different mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables and no change.
    I think I read that 10.8.3 might fix the issue.  Anyone that can confirm that, or has another solution?

  • Charging via USB does Mac need to be out of sleep

    When I charge via USB I think I read in the manual that the Mac needs not to be in sleep mode for it to charge - is that right? I have my Mac set for sleep at 30 minutes, although this often doesn't work anyway but am in the habit of just hitting a Quickeys key to sleep the computer. I want to make sure I'm charging right so I get the best life out of the batter that's possible.

    Yes, that's correct. In sleep mode the USB ports are not powered.

  • HP LaserJet P3005x will not come out of sleep mode

    Printer will not come out of sleep mode (after being in sleep mode for an extended period of time (over 24 hrs)).  When this happens, I can not ping the printer and pressing any of the buttons on the printer will not bring it out of sleep mode.  I'm testing now to see if I can recreate this with the printer attached to my PC via USB.

    Hi arosecarter,
    I understand your monitor is not coming out of sleep mode. Take a look at the following support document, Resolving Problems with Sleep and Hibernate Modes (Windows 7). Step 3 might be of particular interest to you, as you mentioned your keyboard and mouse are not really working for you either. Perhaps it is another connected device that is causing the issue? Anyway, hopefully this document will be of help to you. Best of luck. Have a wonderful day.

  • My 3G is not coming out of sleep mode

    I've had my iPhone for 2 days. Saturday morning when I woke up, the phone would not come out of sleep mode. The phone was on, and would ring when a call came in, but the screen is blank. It wouldn't accept a hard restart for about 30 minutes. My husband was finally able to give it a hard restart. We thought it was a software glitch and was fine. This morning it's the same deal. The phone can be turned on and off, but the screen is black. This time, we have been unsuccessful with a hard restart.
    Should I just head back to the store or can I fix this?

    My 3G did this, and I went and got the phone replaced.
    But make sure that the screen isn't working. I had managed to get mine working, so they didn't believe me, one week later I show back up with the phone working, but no screen. Got changed out real quick at that point.

  • Mac crashes after coming out of sleep mode

    Hi,
    Sorry - I'm not good with computers.  Last time I posted this someone was really helpful.  Does the below allow any further info on why my Mac comes out of sleep, then after a second reboots fully?

  • My Mac will not "log out".  what do I need to do

    My Mac will not allow me to "log out". What should I do?

    Greetings,
    What happens when you attempt to go to Apple Menu > Log out?
    Assuming you are running Mac OS X 10.6.7:
    Backup your data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    SafeBoot your computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    Login to your normal Admin account while in SafeBoot
    Download and install the 10.6.7 combo while in SafeBoot: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    Restart the computer as normal and then see if you can logout.
    Hope that helps.

  • Mac will not wake up from sleep

    I'm running 10,7,5 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon. The computer needs to restart because it will not wake after it sleeps. I've tried lots of different settings in the screen saver.
    Any suggestions?

    .... and you fail to mention the model SSD and firmware version... or how you installed or cloned the system
    most people also move most of their user folder to another hard drive.
    sounds like a more normal Mail + OS issue if just that.
    hard restarts = directory corruption so don't reboot w/o first either Recovery Mode, then follow up with Safe Boot.
    And maybe you have 3rd party hardware or software that is not compatible with 10.8.2 needs to be considered as well.
    2008 model 3,1 also are having a lot of issues this year. Including another critical piece, what gpu it has.

  • After installing iCloud mac does not wake up from sleep

    I have all of the necessary components and software for running iCloud however my computer will not wake up from sleep. I only get the gray sceen.  Any ideas?????

    You shouldn't need software (other than Lion).
    I'd reboot it and see if that gets around the issue.  It isn't supposed to do that.
    Press and hold the power button until the Macbook reboots.

  • After maverick update mac won't come out of sleep

    After I updated to Mavericks my macbook pro wont come out of sleep modes, I will close the screen or let the computer go to sleep from inactivity and i can see that its breathing but it wont come out of sleep mode and than requires a hard shutdown. It also takes a very long time to reboot and/or restart as it sits on the gray

    Sadly, I had the issue resurface today. It went into standby/sleep mode while I was in a meeting (on battery power), and later I tried to wake it, and all I got was a black screen with a mouse cursor.
    The keyboard brightness and volume keys on the keyboard were responsive (I could hear the audio level clicks as I changed it), but the visual overlay didn't show (where it shows the white speaker graphic with the bar of rectangles representing volume level). Also, the screen brightness keys did nothing.
    I finally used Ctrl + Cmd + Power to force a restart. Luckily, my user account didn't get completely hosed like it did a couple weeks ago.
    So, it looks like Migration Assistant isn't the culprit here. This is the system I just finished rebuilding. So it's either a bug in OS X/Mavericks, or it's due to an application I have running, or a configuration change I've made.
    It seems to only happen when I'm on battery power, for what that's worth. I don't recall it ever happening when I'm plugged in. I have Power Nap disabled while on battery power, btw.
    I'm going to enable SSH access so I can try to SSH in the next time this happens. Perhaps that will provide useful diagnostic info.
    Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

  • Mac freezes when going out of sleep

    Hi
    Sometimes, when I wake up my mac form sleep it totally freezes (except the mouse movement). I cannot click anywhere, shutdown or restart my mac, and command + option + esc (Force quit) doesn't work! So i have to reboot my mac on the power button, and I loose everything that was not saved!
    Somebody knows why is this problem happening? And how can I solve it?
    (I've made all softwares updates, in case someone thinks this is the problem...)
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. In another post someone said the computer might be overheating and suggested installing smcFanConrol. I tried this but it didn't help. I tried everything above but no luck. The only way I can keep my computer from locking up is to turn off computer sleep when computer is inactive, turn off display sleep when computer is inactive, and uncheck the "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible. Then it will run all day with no problem but with no screensaver. Also, when sleep was on and I was able to unwake the computer, if I went to the dock (which was hidden) it would freeze.

    I really do not want to restore this iPad if I can find another solution.  I had to let the battery drain completely in order to prepare it for restore, so I'm prepared to do that if I must.

    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • OS X 10.9.2 not coming out of sleep mode

    Last week I updated my computer to OS X. Now I am starting to have issues. I am unable to wake my computer from sleep mode with my mouse or keyboard. I have to push and hold the power button for it to restart. Any suggestions or has anyone else had this?

    Difficult to say what your issue is with not too much information. I would start buy doing some basics, Repair Disk Permissions (Disk Utility) 2-3 tiems, and reset the SMC and  PRAM each 2-3 times. If you don' t know how to do the SMC & PRAM resets please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets for instructions.
