After 10.9.3 update monitor doesn't wake up from sleep

I have an LCD connected to the Mac Mini via a mini-DP to DVI adapter and a video projector is connected directly at the HDMI.
The LCD is the "main" screen while the projector is only switched on for watching TV or movies.
My "Computer sleep" is set to "never" and "display sleep" to 15min.
All was working well until I updated to 10.9.3 ...
Now, when the LCD goes to sleep (projector is powered off) it doesn't wake up any more.
The computer is running and it is responding to my key-presses etc. but the monitor remains in a coma.
Powering the monitor off and on again resolves the issue, e.g. the display shows correctly.
This is however only a temporary fix as it refuses to wake up upon the next sleep...
The monitor itself is fine, it works on other systems flawlessly, e.g. on an older Mini.
Any ideas?
I have already force-fed it with the combo-udate but that didn't help.

My iphone 3GS does the same thing, not only does it suddenly fail to wake up from sleep. It just crashes and I have to do a hard reset. Today it just turned off when the ipod was playing I was a mile away from it and it was in airplane mode as well. I have restored from backup once and would dearly love to have it downgraded but that doesn't seem to be much of an option. My phone ran like a dream before the upgrade....now I hate to say it but its completely unreliable.
With so many people experiencing the same problem it makes me wonder why there isn't a fix.

MacBook Pro doesn't wake up from sleep mode

My MacBook Pro (late 2011) with OS Mavericks doesn't wake up from sleep mode anymore. Battery is fully charged and the cable is plugged in. I can still hear the ventilator running, but that's all. I never had any problems, but since about 2 weeks this problem occurs. It usually then woke up after 10-15min, but now nothing happened since 4 hours.
Is there anyone who could possible help me? Unfortunately there is no Apple Store in my area where I could go to.

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
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
This and the next 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, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
Step 5
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
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 the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Doesn´t wake up from sleep mode

Hi mac users,

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

Pavillion 15 n000sp doesn't wake up from sleep in Windows 10

Since updating from Windows 8.1 to 10, my notebook has lost the ability to wake up from sleep mode.
When I leave it idle but open, the scren goes off but any touch on the keyboard or mouse wakes it up.
If I close the notebook, it goes into a deep sleep mode and unable to wake up. The usb powers off (optical mouse stops working) and pressing the keyboard, touchpad or power button does nothing. If I disconnect and reconnect the usb cable, I regain power to the mouse, but don't gain any functionality. Only way to recover from this is a hard reset by long power button press. I have already followed the instructions at http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03383935#AbT0 (basically assuring that peripherals have the ability to wake up the device - not only the keyboard, as stated in the article, but also mouse and touchpad - and checking for updates both through the windows update as the HP support Assistant and going through all devices in the device manager). I have updated both graphical card drivers (Intel HD and NVidia Gforce) and the update assistant doesn't detect any more updates. Still, the issue persists. Any help?

T440s doesn't wake up from sleep

I got a new T440s about 2 weeks ago and sometimes it doesn't wake up after it goes into sleep mode. It gets stuck on a black screen and the mouse cursor is visible, but moving the mouse or pressing keys on the keyboard fails to wake it up. When this happens, I have to restart the computer by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and hybrid sleep is off. I'm just really confused because sometimes it wakes up perfectly and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi someotherguy, firstly thanks for your replies!
I'll try to document my issue a bit better.
My setup:
Thinkpad T440p
CPU: i7-4700MQ
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64 (Upgraded via STORE from Windows 8)
Display: FHD WWAN
Graphics: Intel HD4600 / GeForce GT 730M
Memory: 16 GB GSkill 1.35v
HDD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD (250 GB)
Power: 135W AC Adapter
Wireless: 7260AC w/ Bluetooth 4.0
External display: LG 23EA63V-P (LG 23 Inch IPS Panel @ 1920x1080)
Connection: MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter with Dual link DVI-D Cable
Power settings: Max Performance / Always On
Sleep: Never
Turn off Displays: YES (this is the issue!)
I have disabled hibernate
I have disabled fast boot
I have installed all latest Windows updates and Lenovo drivers.
Nothing to call out in device manager
The issue:
Since adding the external display, both displays intermittently (90%) fail to wake from DISPLAY ONLY sleep. The system does (*knock on wood*) wake from manual setting of Sleep. However, when the displays turn off after the allocated time, it seems like my system is in tandem assuming some sort of sleep state. It does not look like only the displays are sleeping.
Once the monitors turn off, moving the mouse or hitting the keyboard will initiate some system feedback (backlight only on laptop lights up with blank screen, fans spin up) but the external monitor does not power back on, and the keyboard lock keys do not respond. The only way to get my system back is to hard reset.
Now I have read several users having similar issues. Many users have solved this in different ways (from display to usb to power to memory), and it's very hard to identify the culprit in my situation.
Other issues (possibly related)
-Sometimes system turns off by itself (rarely occurs)
-Sometimes after desktop is idle for 1 minute, system Logs Off (and in turn displays turn off)
What I've tried that has NOT worked (aside from latest drivers)
-Disabling Hibernate
-Removing all USB devices
-Disabling Wireless adapters
-Disabling Bluetooth
-Uninstalling Bluetooth (yes I've updated to latest drivers)
-Disabling Fingerprint Reader (yes I've tried the latest drivers)
-Updating to latest BIOS (although I updated last night and I think it was to 2.18 that was just released?)
-Installing Intel HD Drivers versions: 3345/3355/3379
-Installing latest Nvidia Optimus drivers
What I've tried that SEEMS TO SOLVE IT (at least temporarily)
-Switching Single Link DVI Cable -> Dual Link solved it temporarily, but the issue came back.
-Uninstalling Intel HD4600 Drivers (using an old 3316; but this causes high CPU usage and System interrupts)
-Disabling CPU management in Power settings in the BIOS (this to me is not a solution)
-Switching to MiniDisplay Port to HDMI adapter & HDMI Cable; this was my biggest victory last night - I was able to get the displays back 100% of the time (3 tests)
-Switching BACK to my DVI adapter and cable - this has me puzzled. I would rather use DVI, so ruled out using HDMI as a solution. Once I changed the cables, I was able to resume the system again (in my few tries). We'll see how long this lasts..
So I'm still not sure what the issue is. Things I would try, but only if necessary..
-Shorter Dual Link DVI Cable
-Different MiniDisplay to DVI adapter
-Reset PC and OS (factory settings AND fresh install)
-Windows 8 Pro (do not upgrade to 8.1)
-Different Memory
After checking the Event Log, I've had Critical Events (system powered down unexpectly) each time I've had to hard reset. I try to see if any Event occured just prior. I've noticed several Warnings for the following, but have found no pattern tied to the crash
-igfx.dll has stop responding / has recovered
-issue with Finger print reader (I need to reference Event Log for details)
-issue with Bluetooth (I need to reference Event Log for details, but I believe this was when I had it disabled in the Device Manager and it was looking for the driver)
Sometimes there is no event just prior to the crash at all, which leads me to believe these are just OTHER issues I need to deal with.
Any other experiences/thoughts/advice would be most appreciated! I have been so incredibly frustrated recently, coming back from another room finding my displays off and having to hard reset. Sure there are workarounds, but I am in seach of a solution.
And this is only ONE of the issues I've had with this device.

A brand new Mac Pro doesn't wake up from sleep

I got a new Mac Pro.
It has an external SATA controller and a video card with NVIDIA Quadro 4000 chipset on it.
It has a Snow Leopard installed.
The problem it has is that it doesn't wake up once it goes to sleep, either by choosing "Sleep" menu item or by using "Energy Saving" setting.
I notice some people mention a keyboard doesn't respond while his trackpad does. In my case, nothing works.
I don't know if it is due to keyboard or a magic mouse. I tried to connect another wired mouse to the enclosure of the Mac Pro directly, but it did't cause Mac Pro wake up.
By searching on Google, many people seem to have this problem, whether they have Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and so on.
Personally, I have a 17" PPC iMac, 13" MacBook with Core Duo 2, and have used MacBook Pro 17", but they didn't have this problem.
I tried to reset the SMC, but it didn't help.
Do anyone know what cause this problem and how to solve it?
Is there any patch for this?
Thank you.

Does it sound like it's waking up but the monitor just doesn't display anything?
I ask because if so, I'm experiencing the same problem. I have a Quad-Core Mac Pro (no external devices) and if it goes to sleep I have difficulty getting it to display anything on the monitor after waking it up. Now, I just recently hooked up an additional monitor (VGA) for dual display, and the funny thing is, that monitor will wake, but my main monitor won't.
Sometimes I get this error after boot-up too, where the computer will get to the login screen, but my main monitor is receiving no signal ("at least according to my monitor").
If that's the same issue, then I'll post any success I find for you!
Best,
J

Imac mid2010 doesn't wake up from sleep

Hello to everybody,
i've read all of topics speak about this problem but i haven't solved. When I press space button or push something else the mac reprise to move the fans but the monitor doesn't power on. One arouse curiosity: is if try to wake up before the fans go to stop the monitor wake up immediatly, but if I wait for 20 second or somenthing more after the fans gone to sleep, the mac keep black on wake up. I tried to reset PRam and fix permession, tried to format the harddisk and install new maverick, also tried via recovery but nothing changed.
This is part of consolle's report and I thing is the reason about the problem of wake up. It appears after every sleep time:
powerd[29]: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.sleep.failure
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
com.apple.message.summarize: YES
Sender_Mach_UUID: 83C854AA-0FB9-30C2-8443-D10D781E0E25
I hope that someone can give me some information about this problem,
Waiting for your opinion....thank you in advice!!

Sleep - Wakeup

My MacBook Pro sometimes doesn't wake up from sleep mode

Dear users, my MacBook Pro (model 5,1 - 15" Late 2008) is behaving oddly since I upgraded to OSX Lion. Sometimes, after going into sleep mode, it doesn't wake up. When I hit a key (space or enter), I see the login screen, but it's not possible to type my keyword. The only thing active is "the spinning beach ball of death", so I have to manually shut down my Mac and start over. This problem (and also other problems) did not happen in Snow Leopard. The only thing that changed in my Mac is the OS; other programs remain the same. I already tried reseting PRAM and SMC, and fixing disk errors. Thanks for your attention.

try running a hardware test and see if you get an error code: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35727.html

MBA still doesn't wake up from sleep

It's extremely annoying that no patches or advisories have been released for this problem that 100s of people are evidently facing.
Symptom: MBA doesn't wake up after sleep - you hear activity but the screen doesn't turn on and there is no response to key presses or clicks.
Tried: Resetting the PMU, PRAM, NVRAM - several times.
My system.log shows these events just prior to the freeze:
Mar 17 18:35:00 -MacBook-Air kernel[0]: Wake reason = EC.ACDetach
Mar 17 18:35:00 -MacBook-Air kernel[0]: System Wake
Mar 17 18:35:00 -MacBook-Air kernel[0]: Previous Sleep Cause: 5
Mar 17 18:35:00 -MacBook-Air kernel[0]: AirPort: Link Down on en0. Reason 4 (Disassociated due to inactivity).
Hoping this problem will be properly solved soon, rather than having to resort to some kludge like deactivating hibernation.

Disconnect everything, according to the KB article (even remove SD cards if a 13"):

P67A-GD65 Doesn't wake up from sleep

Heya.
Installed my new rig a few days ago and I usually turn it off when I go to work etc. Yesterday however I had both a download of WoW and BC2 from Steam downloading so I thought I'd leave it for the night so it would be done when I got home from work. When I got home from work though it seemed the computer had gone into sleepmode and I couldn't get it out of it by pressing space, or any other button for that matter. Thing is that I disabled all sleep/hibernate functions in Win 7 and put the "energy profile" or whatever its called to High Performance so that shouldn't happen.
I read that there are some energy saving features in the bios, could it be any of those is overriding the Win7 profile? If so what is it called and how do I turn it off

With disabled EuP and the "wake up event" settings changed to just "OS" it doesn't go to sleep anymore. Yay
Windows has a useful utility you can run from a command prompt called "powercfg" that will tell you everything you need to know to debug sleep problems. Start with "powercfg -?" to get a list of all the parameters and call modes.
Also, you will probably have better luck disabling OS and enabling only BIOS and USB under the wake options (unless you have a PS/2 keyboard or mouse which is unlikely these days). Most systems work best with a sleep state of S3 since this will shut it down to the lowest power level. Powercfg has many different modes you can use to determine what is causing the system to wake up when it shouldn't or stop it from sleeping when it should. Just Google "powercfg" and you will find lots of info regarding how to use it.
Good luck - D

Doesn't wake up from sleep

Just bought a new iBook about 3 weeks ago with all the latest software. Often when the lid is closed and it's in a sleep mode, when the lid is opened it will not wake up from its sleep. We have to hold down the power button to shut it off and then turn it back on again.
Any advice?

Hi
Yes I HAD this problem to. After I saw this thread I tried to call apple support. Sadly my computer is about 6 month old so they wouldn't give me any advice unless I payed 450 Danish kr = about 80 $ - wich is rediculous for a 5 minut advice. But anyway I began to think about the single processor G5 (600 MHz FSB), which have some problem wich reminded me of this one: They simply randomly crash. Apple has resently given some advice (after more than 1 year of random crashing - simply anacceptable for those people). The advice was very simply to go into Power settings and put everything on Automatic.
So I'd gave it a try on my iBook which almost allways crashes when it wakes up and the result is that it is cured. It never crashes again. So just try to put everything on automatic in the battery settings for your iBook. Especially remember to put the processor usage option (I don't know what it is called in english, mine is on danish, but it is the option which tells the computer to run on a low CPU usage or a high CPU usage) on AUTOMATIC.
I hope that this advice will help, cause this problem basicly makes you iBook unusable.

Strange problem. My program sometimes doesn't wake up from sleep.

I have no idea why this is happening. I know the general area is where I am testing for socket connectivity. There is an actual sleep(1) in that loop I test 3 times one second apart).
Sometimes after someone goes into sleep mode (closing the lid), when they open the lid and resume, my program is locked up. It is not red in the activity viewer, but it just doesn't do anything.
To make things even more confusing, if you sleep a little while, like close the lid and walk to another building on campus, and then open the lid, my program runs just fine. However, if you close the lid, like at night, and open the lid the next morning, it always locked up.
Again, I think the area it is on, is the actual Sleep(1) when the computer goes to sleep. Are there two stages to sleep on Macs? Like you close the lid and if you open it in less then an hour its a light sleep, but if it is more then an hour, its a deep sleep.
Any ideas would be helpful.

No one can help me with this? I have figured out that if I am in a Sleep() and the computer goes to sleep, when it wakes up my program isn't running anymore. I see scores of complaints when googling about all sorts of apps that 'die' when the Mac wakes up. Is there a safer way to Sleep() then that API call?

MBP doesn't wake up from sleeping mode

Since one week I am working on my new MBP. Everything works great and fast, without noise or exceptional heat.
However, there is this one problem: when it has been in sleeping mode for a long time, it doesn't seem te wake up any more. I have to force a restart then.
I can't be more specific on "for a long time". I know there's never a problem waking my MBP up after a few minutes, but there's always a problem when it's been sleeping for (wild guess) half an hour or more.
I experience this problem after putting it in sleeping mode manually and when it has gone in sleeping mode itself.
Does this sound familiar? Any suggestions?
MBP 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Thanks for your reply.
I haven't calibrated my battery. Could you tell me how to do this? I have been using the Mac for a few months only and don't know very much about it.
edit:
I found it already. (Should have looked first and not have asked right away.) I have to fully charge the battery and then use it until it is empty and goes to sleep. After that I have to charge it again. That's it, right? I'll try.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion does not to wake up from sleep

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro mid 2009 from Lion to Mountain Lion. Everything is ok, but when I try to wake up it from a sleep, white dots fill, only last one remains grey and machine stay forever.
I really appreciate any suggestions.
Many thanks!
Sandro

My suggestion is that you reinstall Mountain Lion:
Reinstalling Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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 and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
