Back from sleep display problem after 10.5.4 update.

Hello,
I have a macbook pro 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo 15" only a month old. I updated to 10.5.4 tonight and everytime i open the lid it powers up as normal from sleep / standby mode and the screen is black. I can hear the hard drive doing it's thing. I didn't have this problem under x.5.3.
What i do, instead of selecting it to sleep or anything, i just use it, then just close the lid when i have finished using it.
I have repaired the disk permissions also reset the pram and its made no difference..
Any help would be grateful..
thanks
Stu

Sorry i thought i would just add some details as it was late when i posted the above and clearly was far too tired ... lol
Basically the problem is, i updated to 10.5.4 with the full downloaded installed ie not from software update. Since then every time i just close the lid, then come back to it and open the lid i just get a black screen. I can hear the HD spinning up as if it's all working.. the only way i can get the screen to come back is if i hard restart (hold down power button) and restart the computer.. i have noticed it does it more if the battery is charging, as i come to it this morning with a fully charged battery opened the lid and it was all fine..
i had this problem on one of the updates i believe either x.5.1 or x.5.2 then it went away with an update..
I have repaired the disk permissions and reset the pram by restarting and holding the apple key + alt RP and nothing has made any difference.
Many thanks if you can help

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

External display problem after 10.9.2 update

Hello I have a Mac Book Pro 15" Mid 2012, OS X 10.5.8, 2.6 GHz i7, 8GB Ram, i have a 128 SSD (OCZ-VERTEX4 Media)
& a 750 HDD (APPLE HDD HTS727575A9E362 Media) in the optical drive, i have an external Led 1080p View Sonic VX2253 conected via thunderbolt HDMI adaptor, it was working fine until i installed the 10.9.2 update, now when i conect my display it becomes a the main display and the MB built in display becomes the secondary display, here some photos:
Anybody else with these problem, have some idea of the solution????
Tks

Yes similar problem here: I have a MacBook Pro, 15 inch Retina, Mid 2012, and when I connect a secondary display via HDMI (and also HDMI-to-Thunderbolt) then the external monitor becomes the main display.
I have not figured out on how to switch back to former settings. My guess: it's a bug. A quick search confirms that many others have secondary display issues since 10.9.2
(Steve would have fired those lazy punks, who failed to do sincere testing before release …)

After upgrading to 10.6.6, major problems coming back from sleep mode

I updated my macbook from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 and now it is unresponsive frequently after coming back from sleep. The computer stops responding and I have the spinning beach ball on the screen forever. I couldn´t find any correlation with the programs I am running.
I used Onyx to clear all caches, rebooted, etc but nothing seems to help...

I have the same issue, I've found though that it seems to happen only if i goto sleep mode after logging out of my mid-2010 MBP. As long as I remain logged in and put the MBP to sleep it does not lock up with the spinning beach ball.
This lock seems to happen just as I click on my name to login after waking my MBP from sleep.
I have no peripherals, except maybe the power adapter, but it seems to happen regardless of if the power adapter is plugged in. I've done repair permissions in safe mode as well as disk scans.

MBP 17 2009 LCD does not turn on after coming back from sleep

Hi,
I feel like crying.
I bought my 1st Mac 3-4 days ago and I have not regretted anything more than this.
1st some mov files that Quicktime windows can play but Mac does not (feel like pulling my hair why as the videos with same settings taken with same camera before I got the mac work perfectly from flash drive.
2nd the nVidia 9600m stopped being detected no matter what I did, next morning it magically re-appears (alongwith many things that vanished magically for e.g. options on right clicking images never came)
3rd the MOST BUGGING AND CONSISTENT
I close the lid, it goes to sleep. It has never come back from sleep. The screen will never turn on. Then I force shut down keeping power button pressed. And even after 2-3 restarts the screen doesn't come up. I wait for 2 min and then start. It starts working.
ANY IDEA WHY?
I use a usb mobile braodband modem (Huwaeii telecom's) and have a silly feeling maybe that might case something. But even that doesn't.
My next guess is temperature. I am working in 30-40 degree celcius room temprature range. Maybe that is it.
I think Mac is overrated and it breaks my heart saying that as I spent $2300 over it which is a HUGE amount in my part of the world. I needed it for Final Cut Pro.

I am sorry I do not understand the response. You're saying this is a known issue? Or are you suggesting/asking "IF" it is an OEM issue?
Because the whole problem I have is the "IF". I am not able to comprehend what is the problem.
And Yes the machine is 6 days old. Calling technical support doesn't help.
Apple doesn't look obsessed about customer satisfaction in India (My Luck i bought it from the only iStore in my area, hope they correct it).
The nVidia 9600M is sometimes there sometimes not. Lately even simply starting the machine does not make the screen turn on.''
Is there a debugging to-do list? Oh I am so "OS X"-impaired.
Thanks,
Rachin

Satellite P850-30W - Fan does not run after coming back from sleep mode

I got a Toshiba Satellite P850-30W with bios 1.90.
Sometimes the fan does not run at all after coming back from sleep mode on windows 7.
This has happened twice (maybe more times without me knowing), and Ive had the computers for a month.
Normally the fan starts running when the CPU gets over 50 celsius, and stops under 50 celisus...
I tried running Prime95 when this fan-issue occured and the computer temps got dangerously high (close to 100 degree)! the fan did not start at all
...this error could potentinally damage the laptop...
to get the fan running again I have to restart windows
anyone else experienced this?
I guess the fix would be to never use sleep-mode...or toshiba needs to fix it with a bios update.

What kind of answer do you expect here in user community?
Exact info about the fault? I dont think that somebody would be able to provide exact answer but just speculations
In other Forum you can read about Satellite notebook; but is it exacts the same model?
No, it seems to be an L650 series. Its completely different series .
From my opinion its not software related problem.
BIOS issue?
Well, in case it would be a BIOS issue, the problem would appear always and not sometimes after being shut down 200 times.
It could be a hardware related issue. Memory? Maybe
In my personal opinion to get more details hardware diagnostic software should be used in order check the hardware for possible malfunction. Thats my personal opinion

Problem to come back from sleep mode in Lenovo Thinkpad T400 using Windows XP

Problem to come back from sleep mode in Lenovo Thinkpad T400 using Windows XP. Each time closing the T400 lid and try to make the laptop into a sleep mode for some time, it does not properly come out of sleep mode. Login screen is able to see when opening the lid for the first time, but it only seen for a while before then a black screen on T400 Thinkpad appears. Sometime the hard drive activity can be shown also. And then, to come back I had only one option to hard re-boot.
I tried Fn+F4 and power button once to come back but no use.
Please provide me some solution for this?
Thanks in Advance.

oh sorry and its been closed inbetween uses. When i open it the keyboard doesn't light up and it makes no sound.

My Outlook prompts for password every time it comes back from sleep or started

I've Microsot Outlook for MAC 2011, version 14.4.1 installed on my MAC Book Pro Retina Display with OS X Version 10.9.2 and everytime my outlook comes back from sleep or is started or there is a little fluctuation in Wifi signals, prompts me for my email password. I checked the option of save my passord, deleted all previous passwords from Keychain but it doesn't works, so please help. My email at my official domain (not free domains) address is configured perfectly and my send and received is working fine.

I have that problem in Outlook, too. When I get the Yes/No dialog box, I simply click "No" and my machine continues to receive mail.
It's most certainly a pain, but coming out of sleep, your network doesn't kick in for a minute or two. I don't think that it's really a bug in either OS X or Outlook: it just takes that minute or so for the network to wake up.

Sometimes when I open my laptop back from sleep, I get a black screen with the cursor showing.

Recently I've been getting this weird problem where my macbook air will show a black screen with only the cursor visible that I can move around but nothing else can be done to get to the desktop. The only way is to close the lid and wait for around 10 or more seconds and then open the lid again to bring the laptop back from sleep and hope that the laptop goes to the lock screen and then to the desktop. This works often but sometimes the only solution seems to be to restart the laptop. This also happens when I tilt the lid to the point where it is almost closed and when I tilt it back the screen presents the above state. Theis has been happening often now and it is almost impossible for the above not to happen atleast 2 to 3 times a day. iThis is a relatively new problem that has been occuring since the past two weeks or so and never happened to me on my Macbook Pro 15 2011. My current system is a Macbook Air 11" 2013 Haswell 1.3 Ghz 4GB RAM 256 GB SSD. Now I dont want to have to send in my laptop if I dont have to if there is a way I can solve this myself. Anybody else have this problem?

Hello tseten,
I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air was not waking from sleep appropriately. For an issue 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.

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.

T400 2764-CTO with led backlit. startup or back from sleep, the led backlit won't turn on itself

I have a 4 month old T400 2764-CTO with led backlit.
sometime when I start up T400 or come back from sleep mode, the backlit won't just turn on itself. I can see what it shows on the LCD somehow if the environment is not too bright. Only if I log in and put the system to sleep again and wake it up, the backlit comes back mysteriously.
Is this a setup problem or some defect with led backlit?
I have tried with vista home basic and vista business and both of them have this problem.

Perhaps this might solve your problem (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&thread.id=9159). I run a T41 under XPPro so am not sure if this is applicable, however I too get a dimming when switching to battery.

Returning from sleep mode problem

Occasionally, when I open my MacBook from sleep mode, the login screen looks faded, the print is very faint and is shifted to the left. I can type and put in my password, and when I hit enter, it takes me to the normal login screen. But then my mouse will not move. I can tap the spacebar and click on my trackpad, and after about 10-15 seconds the mouse will move and I can click, sign in, etc. and when I sign in everything is normal, so it really doesn't affect my use but it is a little concerning. I already reset my PRAM, which an apple worker told me to do, but it didn't change anything. Anyway, help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It just happened again, and I was able to read the message that flashes on screen (very sporadic): "Not Optimum Mode" and something along the lines of switch to 1680x1050? with a big question mark icon. I'm wondering if the Mac is trying to force a higher resolution on the monitor when it comes back from sleep mode, even though I have it set at 1680x1050?

Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.

Yesterday, when I brought my laptop back from sleep, I tried to check my e-mail with the Mail app like I always do. But there was the lightning bolt sign next to the inbox, and the pop-up asked me to input my password, which didn't work. It says mail.mac.com has rejected my password. The password is correct (I'm able to check my e-mail through my browser at me.com), but for some reason Mail keeps on rejecting it. I usually don't have to input my password at all in Mail. Any clue how to fix this? I haven't changed anything at all on my laptop.

I did change my apple ID password though...

When i put my Mac for sleep it takes more time than normal ( 20 secs). Sometimes, coming back from sleep the system is not responding (freeze).

When I'm in roaming I can't see identification of incoming phone number which I have already in my phonebook. When I came back from roaming the problem stayed. I tried "Reset All Settings" option, but without results.

Now I can't see the name of any incoming number which I already have in the phonebook. I tried "Reset All Settings" but without results. I have iPhone 4S and latest IOS version 5.0.1

You can try to powe off your iphone and power on again.
