Blue Screen instead of sleep

I experienced a strange behaviour of my iMac G5 (isight) the last few days:
I set the iMac to first display the screensaver after 10 minutes, then to go to sleep after 45 minutes. Now, the saver shows up, no problem. But then, instead of going to sleep the screen just turns to a bright blue an thats it. When i move the mouse, the desktop will appear again and i can work as usual. But i don't know if it is good when my iMac just turns the display into blue instead of really going to sleep.
Sometimes it works, and it goes to sleep with the white light flashing. But in about 50% or more of the cases, it's just a blue screen and the Mac is not in sleep as i can hear the fans and the HD.
What can i do?

Thanks for your feedback. The same thing here.
When my iMacs goes to sleep as ist should (which happens some times ) then at the wake up, there is a light blue screen for several seconds. When i move the mouse or hit a key, then the desktop will appear again, and everything seems to be ok.
But this is really strange.

  • My MBP 2011 w Lion freezes after sleep with blue screen and other sleep issues

    My MBP v2 of 2011 line with Lion on it freezes occassionally (maybe 1 out of 10 awakenings from sleep) where the screen is blue and only way to make it stop is to hold the power button and restart.
    Another issue I have is I'll come out of sleep, and the wallpaper on my screen disappears, and I just see a gray background.  If I go to Monitor preferences, it claims the wallpaper is set to my normal background.  Restarting has the background display again.
    Note: I often use a external monitor, so good chance these freezing issues happen when I unplug/plug in the external monitor (via DVI cable to DisplayPort converter to MBP)
    Today I had a slightly different experience with the freezing.  It had my second monitor have a bunch of pixelated garbage and a message about holding power button down and restarting.  I restarted, and got a "your system has crashed unexpectedly" like message, so I told it to send the data to Apple.

    I used to have that problem as well, try going to system preferences and having the computer require a password after waking, worked for me.

  • MacBook Pro Repeatedly Loads Purple & Teal Stripe, Gray, Light Blue, Bright Blue and Bright Blue Stripe Screens Instead of OS after Optical Drive Replacement by Apple (PICTURES INCLUDED)

    17 inch March 26-29 (order date – shipping date) 2011 MacBook Pro, 256GB Solid State Drive, 2.3 GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, 1 processer, 4 Cores, 256 KB L2 Cache per core, 8 MB L3 Cache, 8 GB Memory (8GB 1333MHZ DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB), AMD Radeon HD 6750M Video Card, Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 512 MB total of VRAM. 110 GBs of free/unused disk space remaining.
    Full Specs are in subsequent post.
    The issues described in the title continue even after I’ve reinstalled the operating system twice (Snow Leopard) and installed Mavericks (which is working fine and even faster). I’ve tried many commands to repair this.
    If anyone has experienced any of the symptoms above or below, your advice and response will be much appreciated as well as marked. These are the details:
    My Early 2011 MacBook Pro has had the typical blue screens, screen freezes and graphics issues since I bought it about three years ago but nothing like this and NEVER any load issues until about a month ago. That was when my superdrive replacement was put in.
    Since then my MacBook Pro will go into hard freezes or kernel panics. Then I’ll have to power it down manually and power it up manually. It’ll then refuse to load the OS until after multiple tries. It started out just 2 or 3, then 4 or 5, then 6-12, then 20. Now it takes over 30 boots to load the OS. These boot issues also occur even if it doesn’t freeze, i.e.: when I shut it down or restart it naturally (via the Apple menu, etc.).
    95% of the time it’ll load to a gray screen instead of the OS. 4% of the time it’ll load to a light blue screen. Then there are the others: the first time this happened it loaded to the striped purple and teal screen shown in the picture. This happened the next four times then intermittently for about 5 or so more times.
    It also loaded gray flickering screens. Flickering screens also occurred right before it froze and had to be manually powered down and up. Then it began to load regular gray and light blue screens and all flickering screens stopped. And then bright blue screens a couple times intermittently for a few days, sometimes with lines. Sometimes it’ll load to a blank/black screen as well. I’d reset the NVRAM and SMC but it still continued, happening multiple times a day, each time taking more and more hard shut downs and hard power ons to finally load the OS.
    Until I installed Mavericks, every time it finally loaded the OS Finder began indexing. After Mavericks this has occurred 95% of the time.
    After talking to Apple Support they had me do a NVRAM and SMC reset again over the phone. The MacBook Pro refused to load the entire time we were on the phone. After the call it got worse. It froze over 6 times that day and at worse took over 30 boots to load the OS.
    I finally had time to deal with it the next day when it froze again. After over 25 boots it loaded and I put in the Snow Leopard OS dvd and ran Disk Utility. I verified the hard drive and it said it was fine. Repaired the disk anyway and it gave this message at the end:
    “Updating boot support partitions for volume required”.
    Next I tried to start in safe mode and it just hung up for hours. Then started up in single mode and it loaded the OS. It then loaded normally for three times in a row. I reinstalled Snow Leopard. Everything loaded normally. I waited an hour or so and then I downloaded Mavericks. 5 or so hours later Mavericks was installed. Everything hardware wise was fine for a day and all software issues were easily fixable incompatibilities. My Mac was even faster with Mavericks. However, Photoshop did give a perhaps relevant message:
    “Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer’s website for the latest software.
    GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences.”
    (I have OpenGL enabled in Photoshop and it was already checked when this error occurred).
    Two days ago I went to Disk Utility to repair permissions while logged in to a non-admin account. Verified and repaired the disk, then verified permissions. Everything fine. After repairing permissions however, it gave a weird error box:
    "Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
    The box stayed “stuck” in the Disk Utility window. My MacBook Pro then failed to do anything. I manually powered it down and up. It loaded to a gray screen with the error message box again: "Unapproved caller, SecurityAgent may only be invoked by Apple software".
    It then refused to load anything else but this message box on a gray screen even after rebooting it multiple times in safe, verbose and single modes and after resetting the NVRAM and SMC. I went online with an iPad and entered in the error and got some advice. I tried to run fsck and erase the /var/folders/ via single user mode but it still loaded to a gray screen with the error message. I just decided to skip to the end and Cmd-R loaded into recovery mode and reinstalled Mavericks again. That worked: the message has not appeared since.
    Some people have said this error is related to a hard drive cable failure. I know that this cable was tampered with during the optical drive replacement procedures because I watched them do it.
    Everything was fine for a day. Then yesterday my MacBook Pro froze while trying to open a VLC file. It took 12 boots to load the OS.  I tried single mode once and verbose mode once. 10 times it loaded to gray screens, even in those mode. A Safe boot lead to a bright blue screen. Finally reset the SMC and it loaded on the 12th time.
    Just five hours ago the same thing happened except it took over 30 boots to load the OS. Single, verbose and normal boots, NVRAM and SMC resets lead to gray screens.  Safe boots lead to bright blue screens with and without lines (see pictures). Finally loaded on a normal boot.
    I know I should have tried safe booting, verbose, single and recovery modes, disk utility, fsck and other command methods earlier this month but in the end, these methods have not solved the problem anymore than resetting the NVRAM or SMC.
    There seems to be conclusive evidence that it’s a hardware problem, stemming from last month, the FIRST AND ONLY time my MacBook Pro was opened up. Maybe it’s the hard drive cable, but it could also be the graphics card and/or logic board (something that’s always been defective on this MacBook Pro, in my opinion). Many early 2011 MacBook Pro owners have given evidence to the latter possibility online.
    The first time it started it seemed to stem from me using iPhoto and Photoshop a lot. I had both running continuously for about two weeks. This is another reason for suspecting the graphics card/logic board is at fault (in addition to three years of screen/graphics glitches). And since the card is soldered to the board and the board connected to the cable...I also have serious battery draining issues, something else that got bad after the Apple Superdrive repair. And the battery is connected to the board...
    Also, since downloading Mavericks, windows from every app get blurry/fuzzy when I scroll or zoom in. I have read that this is happening to a lot of folks though for various reasons.
    I guess it could always be the hard drive. I just don’t know. I’m taking it in to Apple, but can't right away because it’s not local.  I know they’ll be able to run a test on the hard drive. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem (especially the purple and teal striped screen) before they start poking around, possibly creating another problem that goes beyond my Apple Care Plan allotment.

  • Blue Screen on Reboot + wake from sleep Problems and much much more!

    I'm having major problems with my Mac here in the last couple of days and I'm completely out of ideas on how to fix it. Please help!!!! Here's what's going on...
    The hard drive on my previous mac burnt out on Friday...so I grabbed one of the towers from another desk. I loaded OSX on it...but right away I was having problems with it. It started crashing and not coming up like it was supposed to...so I surfed around the forums for a while and decided that I just needed to do a clean install because when I checked the memory...it was almost completely full (only about 10Mb remaining out of a 40Gb HD).
    At first...the clean install was really working great. Then it had some problems waking up once it went to sleep. I ran updates, zapped the PRAM, changed the internal battery and adjusted the power settings to that it is never supposed to sleep. Then it was all working fine for a few minutes.
    I'm a graphic designer so I need all sorts of graphics/font software. So I loaded Extensis Suitcase X1, and Quark with no problems. Then when i attempted to load Adobe CS2...it popped up with the "Please reboot your machine" error right in the middle of it. Now, I can only get the machine to reboot in safe mode...and it freezes up again if it goes to sleep. Upon a reboot it goes to a blue screen with the cursor...but I can not do anything. I can load from the install disk and have run the Disk Utility a few times. I verified the disk and that was ok. When I ran the Verify Permissions, it had thousands and thousands of bad permissions. I ran the fix and now the computer says that they are all fine. I'm totally out of ideas...and I have jobs that need to go to press today that are waiting for me to get this computer going again. Please help!!!!
    Thanks!
    Eric

    Hi ewhite01,
    I don't know at this point if you have time to reload the hard drive from scratch, but that may be what you have to do. The permissions storm was caused by the Quark installer. It's a fairly well known bug in version 6.x. What you need to do when installing it is NOT let it install to the Applications folder. Instead, choose the desktop. After the install is complete, then move the Quark folder to the Applications folder. Any other updates (such as 6 to 6.5) can be done there, just not the initial install.

  • Waking up from sleep with blue screen

    Waking up from sleep with blue screen
    Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
    I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
    Any ideas?
    Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?

    Hi ChangeAgent,
    FINDER> FILE > FIND
    Use the FIND file from the Finder, not Spotlight, to find the folder called Receipts and click on this folder. Scroll down to see if you have this Security Update installed --
    Security Update: 2006-008
    it may be causing general problems to everyone.
    I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
    It's the very latest one.
    The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
    I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
    Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
    The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)
    Dashboard: It takes 3 minutes for the Widgets to upload.
    SOMETHING is not right with this Security Update. Apple, please HELP!

  • IMac taking ten minutes to start up and sits at a blue screen for the most of the time. Also, when it goes into sleep mode I am unable to wake it up from it.

    For the past few days now whenever I go to turn on my iMac it takes roughly ten or more minutes to boot up. For the portion of this time it sits on a blank blue screen. At first it comes up to a plain white screen which after about 30 seconds has the apple logo on it and the spinning circle for about a minute then to the blue screen, every time. Then, to top it off right when this started happening another problem began occurring. The computer is set to go into sleep mode after 15 minutes of no use. But, if it is in sleep mode for too long I am unable to get it out and I have to restart the entire computer, but if it is just for a few seconds into sleep or a minute I am able to get the screen to come back. I can still here the fan running and such so I don't know what is going on. I have searched through discussion after discussion. I have tried: repairing disks, repairing permissions, starting up in safe mode, and such. There has been no luck so far. I was wondering if anyone could offer insight into fixing at least one of these problems since my schooling relies on the computer.
    By the way I this is an iMac 10.6.4 refurbished which we just bought about two weeks ago.
    Thanks for any suggestions!

    My iMac i7 quad was having the same symptoms with the blue screen and long startup times a couple of months ago.  Apple Care told me to bring it in to the local Apple Store, and after some diagnostics, the hard drive required replacing.  It took one day to replace the hard drive and my iMac is running great. I only had the iMac for about 12 months when the drive needed to be replaced.  Not sure if that is your Mac's problem, but it was for mine.

  • Blue screen appears out of sleep on Cinema Display

    I find when I wake my Macbook Pro up from sleep while attached to my 23" Cinema Display I get a blue screen for anywhere from 2 to 5 seconds and then my screen. It doesn't cause problems but its just annoying. When just using the Macbook Pro its screen appears immediately.
    Has anyone else noticed this.

    Supposedly normal for this to happen when Macbook Pro hooked up to a Cinema Display.

  • X1 Carbon Touch: Blue screen or error messages after wake up from sleep/hibernate mode

    Sleep function is not consistent... While it works most of the time; yet the other times are frustrating when the result is reboot, reboot with blue screen or hang!

    Hey @mambu ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're having issues with screen brightness and blank screens since updating your dv6 notebook to Windows 8.1.
    Looking at the available drivers for your notebook you will find there are no drivers for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 for this notebook. This will drastically affect how the graphics card (GPU) functions in this Windows environment.
    Your notebook has a feature called switchable graphics. In order for switchable graphics to function properly you must use drivers provided by HP directly for the graphics cards to work properly. Since HP didn't release drivers for Windows 8 or 8.1 for the GPU setup on your notebook the brightness functions may not work and you may notice issues with the display. It would make sense that this issue is present after sleep or hibernation because the drivers need to be initialized and are encountering errors because they are not the correct drivers, or are generic Microsoft drivers and cannot communicate properly..
    The only professional suggestion I can make is that you reinstall an operating system that your notebook hardware has available drivers for. Windows 7. Sorry for the bad news.
    Thanks!

  • White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

    I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used.  When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times.  It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS.  Nothing I did fixed the issue.  I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue.  I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online.  After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc.  However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem.  Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots.  I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences.  I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting.  This actually fixed the problem.  I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly.  I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty.  After I did that I was unable to load anything.  It would not go into lion or anything else.  I fiddled with the command lines and nothing.  I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc.  After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep.  This time the battery trick is not working.  I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair.  All to no avail.  I know that it has the capacity to work because it did.  Please help me, I really want this to work.  Thanks.

    It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD.  Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

  • I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then the screen goes black, and "sleep" light pulses.

    I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then goes black. The sleep light pulses. From there, I can't turn it off normally. I have tried restarting the PMU. And I have tried unplugging the ac adaptor and removing the battery. From there I have plugged only the ac adaptor in, and it will begin to start but do the same thing once it shows the blue screen.
    I tried only using the battery (without plugging in the ac adaptor) and the same thing happens. I tried starting the computer while holding down CTRL, Option, P, and R, waiting to hear the start up chimes 3 times, and then holding Shift as it starts up. But I still get the black screen once I see the blue one, and the computer's sleep light pulses.
    I need something very important from this computer. And was able to start it last night. I did not shut down the computer, and was going to take it to a friends to use his printer today. The computer was in sleep mode in the morning.
    Thanks for any help!
    Gina

    What your describing could be a logic board or memory issue. 
    You did or did not hear 3 startup chimes?  If you hear 3 chimes when you start it, that would indicate a memory problem.  Try reseating the memory to see if that makes a difference. If you have 2 RAM cards, try one then the other in each slot. If you have 1 RAM card, move it to the other slot. Powerbooks can develop one bad slot.
    You may need to pull the hard drive out of the Powerbook, put it into an external case, then read it from another mac.

  • T60 Type 2623 Blue Screen on Resume from Sleep Mode problem solved - XP Pro

    I hope that this post ends some frustrations for some people.
    I hope that IBM deals with this issue by getting ATI to fix the video driver issue.
    After three months of tracking down blue screens when resuming from Sleep Mode and some lockups while working, I have identified the problem on my T60 Type 2623 running Windows XP-Pro and all service packs and updates.  The Sleep Mode resume issues were intermittant and it would be fine for a day or two and then reboot on Resume or reboot every time I used Resume for a while.  For months the Blue Screen would reboot and attempt to send the message to Microsoft using the logs, but the logs were always corrupted.  I disabled every driver that I could and the problem continued for months.
    The problem solution came about when I decided to try my Rhapsody Music account after many months of not using it.  I kept getting a message about DRM (Digital Right Management) being disabled and Rhapsody software could not self-fix this.  So I finally called Rhapsody and they spent over an hour with me trying to get Rhapsody to work.  The support person asked me about my computer and I noted that it was an IBM T60.  He then asked about my Video Card and I responded that it was an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300.  After a few minutes on hold he asked about my driver version which was 8.442.3-080103a1-057754C the set from January 31, 2008.  He noted that there is a known problem wit the 8.4 driver and it interferes with DRM.  He had me go to control panel Settings and Hardware and then roll-back the driver to the prior version.
    After a reboot, the DRM issue was solved and I soon discovered that my resume from Sleep mode no longer crashed.  In fact it has been fine and crash free for over a month now.  I have noted that the older driver can sometimes resize my screen to something like 600 X 800 if I close the lid under certain circumstances, but that is just a function key reset to get my normal desktop resolution back.  At least it is not a blue screen reboot with a corrupted log file.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unfortunately I could not fix the problem so I wiped my system and loaded all new drivers before I found this posting.
    Is there a way to get the old ATI driver that works? The only one available on the ATI and Lenovo website is the latest one with the problem. I agree with you David, Lenovo should have fixed this problem already with ATI.

  • Won't wake up from sleep, sometimes get blue screen and can't get it to wor

    I have two problems that may be related. I am using a PowerBook G4 (Tiger 10.4.5). Sometimes when I turn it on I get a blue screen and that's it. Nothing else will come up. I have to do a forced shut down and then restart it with the shift key depressed and run repair disk permissions and then it works okay till the next time it decides to return to the blue screen (once a day approx.).
    Also, sometimes it goes to sleep and will not wake up. I have to shut it down and then restart it (sometimes getting the dreaded blue screen).
    This just started happening after I installed Tiger.

    Hi, vfv. Welcome to the Discussions.
    1. You wrote: "Sometimes when I turn it on I get a blue screen and that's it. Nothing else will come up.

As Adrian suggests, my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you determine which Startup or Login item is causing the problem.
    2. As to the sleep problem, here are some ideas for you:2.1. If you are using a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: My wireless mouse and keyboard won't wake my computer.".
    2.2. Your Mac maybe frozen or hung. Troubleshooting freezes and hangs is not unlike troubleshooting kernel panics: the steps are virtually the same. For a more exhaustive troubleshooting procedure, you could use the steps in my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.Good luck!
