A better way to wake up from sleep?

When my mac pro goes to sleep, I cannot wake it up by clicking mouse, hit keyboard, etc. I have to push the machine's power on/off button to wake it up. I assume there is a better way. Thank you in advance.

Also, try a SMC reset.
The following will help you with the repair Hatter is telling you about;
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

  • Satellite P300-13J doesn't wake up from Sleep or Hibernate

    My laptop (Windows Vista 32 bit) is unable to wake up from sleep or hibernate.
    Laptop is set to the Balanced Power Scheme.
    However, once the display has turned off (after 10 minutes), I am unable to wake it up.
    Unable to open Task Manager, Shut Down, nothing works, all I see is a black screen, the disk access light blinking and the fan running.
    I end up holding the power button to switch off.
    This is a recent development, it might have started when I installed Office 2010 on the laptop.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Since when did you notice this issue?
    Was this issue present after clean system installation?
    How about the BIOS? Is it up to date?
    I read in some threads that BIOS update could helps to sort out such similar problems.
    So BIOS update is definitely worth a try.
    Also the display driver update would be recommended. Of course just in case you are not using the latest version.
    By the way: is Win 7 an option for you? The Win 7 is much better and lot of different issues which appeared in Vista system, have been foxed in Win 7

  • TS1367 I am asking this question about my 27 inch iMac Desktop Computer. I normally use my Laptop and very seldom use the desktop but was going to download the new software earlier today. I could not wake it from sleep.

    The other evening we had a storm and lightening hit a house a few doors from me. It jolted my chair but that seemed to be all here. I use my laptop most of the time but since there was a software download I went to my 27 inch iMac and could not wake it from sleep. The light on the keyboard is not lit either. I have this connected to a Battery Backup Power so do not know what has happened or what to do. When I push the power button to try to turn it on nothing happens. There is no shound, no video, nothing; however the disk drive that does my time maching backup has a light on it and the other things that are plugged into the battery power pack also have lights on them. The printer is on and says it is ready to print. Since I cannot boot it up I do not know what to do to even try to get it started. I did not know what would happen if I put the first start up disk in  the external disk drive and try that or not. The internal drive is broken. I do not have any repair shops or apple stores around me at all less than 150 miles away and I am disabled with 24/7 help and oxygen so can not take it in. Are there any suggestions that anyone can give me. I have not been able to find any way to reset the backup battery pack either. It is a Tripp-Lite. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

  • Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep when express card inserted

    Hi,
    my macbook pro (no unibody, 10.5.7) wakes up from sleep when I have my express card 34 (Hama 16GB) inserted. Is there any trick to disable wake up when a drive is inserted? I tried to eject the disk before going to sleep with a shell script but it automounts the device... I attached my log... I hope somebody can help! Thanks a lot!

    Hey, thanks 4 your response... Well I figured that out... I hoped that there was a way to prevent system calls, regarding devices, to wake up my macbook pro... something like: forbid interrupts while asleep
    If you ever hear of a way to fix it please let me know...
    I think a solution would be to disable automount on the express card device... I use it for my time machine backup and really DON'T want to remove the card every five minutes...
    Cheers, Philipp

  • My imac freezes , need to restart everytime i wake it from sleep mode. just started happening 2 weeks ago.

    For about 2 weeks whenever I return to my imac and tap the mouse to wake it from sleep mode my screen is frozen. I have tried to wait for it to unfreeze but it doesnt wake. I cannot get any results from using the mouse or the keyboard. I always have to hard reset the computer to be able to use computer again. My mac is a year old. Anyone have any thoughts as to why tis is happening? Thanks

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • IMac G5 iSight will not wake up from sleep

    This has been happening to me for some time.
    Occasionally my Mac do not wakes up from sleep. Instead it hangs!
    Here how it goes:
    I press a key on keyboard; my Mac wakes up, but screen remains black with only mouse pointer. I cannot see login window.
    And Mac stays this way for hours. No matter if I press a key, click a mouse.
    The only remedy is to press power button and to shut it down.
    Then I have checked console.log. Nothing spectacular. Here is log from last accident:

    Wait - before you take it in for repair or get put on hold with Support try this:
    Go to System Prefs, Energy Saver, then set your display sleep and computer sleep times the same. Check both check boxes too.
    Trust me, I've been working on this problem with Apple and checking the discussion boards for over a year now. I've had my logic board replaced, power supply replaced, been through about 8 Apple techs and tried just about anything you'll read on these boards or get told to do by a tech. If you notice about every 4th or 5th page has someone posting about this problem. The above suggestion is the most recent thing I tried (from reading posts here in this forum, not from an Apple Tech) and it has come out of sleep for the past 30+ tries without a problem. This is not to say this is IT(the final sovle), because it has been known to go on a good run for a week or so and then come up again. This 'fix' however, has been the most promising. If it continues to work, I will let Apple know and hopefully they can fix the bug. They have all sorts of case history with me on this problem.

  • Application launches fail after wake up from sleep when switching from one open directory to another

    I take my MacBook Pro back and forth from home to work.  Open Directory is set up at both locations running on Snow Leopard server.  These two locations are entirely separate domains and IP networks.  The only thing that is the same is my username and password, which is the same in both locations.
    If I put my machine to sleep in one location and move to the other location and wake it up, I can usually launch one application, then no other applications launch and the machine is pretty much frozen up except for mouse cursor movement.  Using command-shift-escape and relaunching the finder doesn't help.
    It is as if the launch daemon has been made inoperative.  Apps just sit and bounce.
    Should one be able to log in one one network with open directory. Close all applications, move to an entirely different network, and wake up from sleep and continue working?  The login/password is identical on both open directory setups.
    Both home and work are set up so the users can "travel" and the machines are not "bound" to the open directory server.
    I've started using the "other" login box to login in which I think keeps the machine more independent of open directory and that seems to work better for moving between networks.
    Any ideas and/or comment welcome.
    (my DNS seems fine in both environments.  running changeip gets "success" in both places)

    After reading another post that popped up under "More Like This" after I posted this I may have found at least a temporary fix.  Unplugging and reseating the MDP adapter in the MacPro didn't accomplish anything but unplugging/reseating the HDMI plug in the Viewsonic brought it back to life.
    I guess I can live with this but it would be nice knowing that there's a more permanent fix for this.

  • Thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.

    thunderbolt ethernet not working when computer wake up from sleep.
    it will not happen in Mountain loin.

    I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
    In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
    In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
    It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
    The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
    QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
    I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
    No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
    Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
    I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
    Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html
    Below the fragment (with some connection to Apple)
    Software is everything. It also s***s.
    "It's like pre-Sumerian civilization," says Brad Cox, who wrote the software for Steve Jobs NeXT computer and is a professor at George Mason University. "The way we build software is in the hunter-gatherer stage."

  • MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .

    Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
    Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
    ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
    Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE help

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
    Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
    Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
    You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
    Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions?

  • 10.4.8 - Wake-up from sleep issue: Workaround

    I eventually got rid of wake up from sleep issues on my PB G4, which I had systematically experienced since I upgraded to 10.4.8.
    Here is a workaround for those who have customized their EnergySaver:
    - the display and the computer must not go idle at the same time ; just select different timeouts.
    For those whom it may help.
    MacBook Pro - PowerBook G4 - iBook G3 - iBook G4 - iMac G3   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Actually, another workaround seems to work much better when my PB's display a black screen after wake-up from sleep :
    - close the lid
    - wait for a few seconds
    - re-open the lid.

  • X1C won't wake up from sleep mode using keyboard

    Hi...so finally got my X1C today. One thing I am noticing is that the machine won't wake up from sleep mode when I press any key on the keyboard -- it only wake up by pressing the power key. This is a bit unexpected to me. Is it by design, and is there any way to change this?
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Does it awaken from stand-by if you press the Fn key? That's been the ThinkPad standard for as long as I can remember.
    Regards.

  • MB can't wake up from sleep anymore

    Hi,
    Since 1 month or so my laptop is not able to wake up from sleep when I open the lid. The screen just stays black and I have to do a hard reset in order to use the computer again. Called apple help center and they made me repair permissions on the disk utility as well as re-installing mavericks, but it didn't change anything. This problem occurs maybe 4 or 5 times out of 10. Before the last update of mavericks I didn't had this problem.
    Do you have any idea what could be going on ?
    Thanks !

    Step 1
    Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
    Step 2
    If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
    If the checkbox at the bottom marked
              Enable access for assistive devices
    is checked, uncheck it and test.
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
    If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
    Step 3
    This step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for Diagnostic and Usage Messages. If you don't see that heading, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar. In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
    You may see one or more lines like this:
    com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
    If you do see that, and you did everything in Step 1, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • I got an A730 LEMON. won't wake up from sleep

    Day one with my new A730
    For almost $1600 I shouldn't have to
    a)hold the power button down to turn off a brand new computer when I can't get it to wake up from sleep mode on day 1 of use.
    b) make 3 calls to tech support to find out whay a) happens
    c) have tech support tell me "you don't have any drivers for your screen"
    d) have tech support tell me I to reinstall windows
    e) have tech support make my computer worse off than before I let them tinker with it remotely
    f) have to wait until tomorrow to get speak with someone empowered to send a replacement (it was only 8:30 at night)
    what the heck, Lenovo?  I bought this top of the line machine to be ready to go, not need 3 hours of my time trying to debug it.  I BETTER not hear "as soon as we receive your machine back in the mail we'll ship out a replacement" and I sure better not hear "we'll send you a refurbished machine"

    Since you have a new machine, I would call Apple immediately and have them deal with the problem.

  • Officejet 7612 E All in one printer will not wake up from sleep mode or powersave

    We cannot get a Officejet 7612 to wake up from sleep mode or powersave.  I have tried logging into the web interface but I am only able to delay sleep mode up to 15 minutes.  I need to shut this off or have the issue fixed.  The only way to use the device is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in.  The printer does not even respond to the power button.

    Hello,
    Please try the  below mentioned steps... Firstly print an network configuration page by touching the Setup > wireless Menu > Wireless Settings > Display Network Configuration > Print info [Ok] -type in the printer's ip in address bar of your browser ( Internet explorer or firefox or chrome ), which would display printer inforamtion. click on Network Menu ,
    click Network on Left, of the window.
    click on Network Address (IP), the info will be displayed on the right side. - by default the selection will be on Automatic IP.- click on Manual IP and then type in the following..
       printer's ip address in "Manual IP address"
      subnet mask using the printed report in "Manual Subnet Mask"
      default gateway using printer report in "Manual Default Gateway" Now click Apply. Wait untill the settigns are applied.-After which, power Off the Printer.
    -Restart the PC.
    -Power On the printer.  Hopefully the issue should be resolved.

  • Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    Gen 4 iPad will wake up from "sleep mode" on its own and stay on till fully discharged, getting fairly hot in the process

    I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
    * Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
    * After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
    * The case is VERY hot.
    * When I open the lid, the display stays black.
    * No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
    * Only way to recover is to power cycle.
    * Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
    Actions:
    * AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
    * I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
    * AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
    I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
    Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!
