Blue Screen & mouse frozen after sleep

Problem: After my G5 PowerPC tower wakes up from sleep, the mouse will not work. After approx. 1 minute, my screen goes blue and the computer is frozen.
This all seemed to start immediately after I did the most recently iPhone software and iTunes update--don't know if its just a coincidence or not, but that's when it started.
I've done the Disk Utility fix and then a Install & Archive from the Install disk (OS 10.5), Nothing. Its still doing this crash ONLY after the computer wakes up from sleep.
Does this mean I have to do a complete fresh reinstall of the OS and start from scratch???
H E L P ! ! ! ! ! !

I just bought the magic mouse and did the new update (Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0) for it to work on my machine. I also updated my iTunes at the same time. Everything seemed to work fine until my computer went to sleep. I woke the computer and my desktop showed up just fine, then about 5 seconds later I got the blue screen.
The only thing I have been able to do is just do a hard reset. I repaired my disk permissions and the same problem continues.
I tried the advice above (create a new user account) but that did not work.
Any ideas...

  • Dark blue screen on MBP after sleep

    Hi there,
    I have just purchased refurbrished MacBook Pro 15in 2.0Ghz Retina.
    It acts strangely, when trying to awake it after sleep screen goes to dark blue colour for about 5-7sec and no responding.
    Any advices?

    Hi Wilcy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the advice and troubleshooting steps in this article helpful:
    OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
    First, see if this information applies:
    Your computer is slow to wake from sleep
    If you see a progress bar when you wake your computer from sleep, this is normal. The computer is waking from safe sleep.
    If not, try the steps in the "Additional troubleshooting" section of OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake.
    Best Regards,

  • My screen is frozen after I hooked it up on my laptop for synching and this window appeared asking to have the ipod updated. Now it won't do anything.

    Have you tried a hard reset yet to see if that makes a difference?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take a couple of tries.

  • 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.

  • Qosmio F20 blue screen of death after shutdown

    Hi there,
    I get the blue screen of death after shutdown on my Qosmio F20 laptop.
    Error is IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
    I assume that it is somehow related to tv tuner card.
    I have tried to restore system - no good. After restoration for some time it was OK. But then BSOD appeared again.
    Sometimes it also appears when I connect USB HDDs or even when I insert DVD disk.
    And for shure everytime I shut laptop down.
    Has anybody got ideas?

    Hi
    Reading you last message I really dont know what you expect from this forum ?:|
    We all here can provide only some suggestions and opinions.
    Without any notebook tests and checks nobody will be able to provide a magic solution
    I hope you understand this.
    So back to the notebook issue.
    There is a one way to find out if the issue could be related to the software or hardware.
    You have to reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery CD. If the same BSOD will appear after the installation from the recovery CD then the chance are that the hardware is faulty!
    I think you should check this out.

  • Blue Screen of Death After RAW Compatibility Update

    My friend updated her 13" Black MacBook yesterday, specifically the "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.3". After a reboot, she got the Apple "Blue Screen of Death", with no login window showing. Looking at system.log, there's a section that looks to be the culprit (this began after restarting due to the install of the update):
    Nov 7 13:55:29 Philbert /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow[31]: Login Window Application Started

    Here are some things I've observed/tried, many from sources via the Internet:
    - I'm able to login in single-user mode
    - I'm not able to login in Safe Mode (hangs on white screen with Apple logo)
    - I've tried booting off the 10.5 install DVD and running Disk Utility - verify/repair disk, this comes back ok. However, if I try to verify/repair permissions, it runs for about 10 - 20 mins then freezes. I let the frozen process run overnight (10-12 hours) and no feedback. I can move the mouse, but I cannot select anything.
    - When the laptop is booted and on the blue screen, I can connect to it via AFP
    - I've tried manually changing the permissions of "/", by doing - chmod 775 /; chmod 1775 /;
    - I've tried removing the com.apple.WindowServer.plist and com.apple.loginscreen.plist files in case they were corrupted by the update
    - I tried running the "installer" command to re-install the update package from the command line. I run it with the "verbose" flags, I get no output and the process hangs.
    Since I can connect via AFP I figure I'll be backing the data up and re-installing OS X. Pretty lame though, considering this failure was caused by running a Software Update. Anyone have a last minute suggestion for me before I go down that path?
    I have the full system.log if anyone is curious!
    Cheers!

    i don't think this is a router issue...i believe it's a hardware issue...this error occured when computer is not getting sufficient memory, drivers are not installed correctly or due to invalid driver installation of any devices installed on the computer...to just isolate the problem try connecting computer directly to the modem and check are you are getting a same error message or not and let me know.

  • Blue screen of death after update

    I just recently received notification that there were updates for my iMac 700. After checking to be sure what the updates were (iTunes and OS security update) I clicked on Update. Not long after this started I was called away for several hours and on return and waking the computer from sleep (options set for 3-screen saver, 5-turn off screen, and 10-sleep) I noted the expected notice about restarting the computer to finish the installation. I clicked Restart and then had to divide my time between two computer almost adjacent to each other. After several minutes when I expected the computer to have finished the install and restarted, I checked and only a blue screen with the spinning time marks were showing. As I watched the screen went black for several seconds then the Blue Screen and Time Marks returned. This same scenerio happened several times over the next hour telling me there was something wrong with the OS and because of lateness I decided to wait until the next day to check the computer. The next morning I turned the computer back on and watch as the blue Apple screen came up for a short time then the spinning Time Marks came on. This lasted about 5 minutes then the screen went black for several seconds (previous was for shifting between multiple updates) but after this happened several times it indicated there was definitely something wrong with the OS. I pulled out my OLD original Tiger (10.4.0) install disks and opened first aid>disk check and ran the disk verification which passed with no notices whatsoever. I then started to re-install 10.4.0 but when it notified me that it could not install because there was newer version of os (10.4.11) installed and to use Options. I quit out of this because one of the options was to erase the disk and because of the install failure in this manner would be unable to backup what was on the computer. I then pulled out the Apple Care disk that came with the computer but that was in classic (9.2) but had not fully loaded after almost a half hour so discontinued the load. What is the data integrity safety factor in reloading 10.4.0 using the save data option as this is the only thing I can see to restore the computer at this time.

    It appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

  • Mac Mini: Mouse unresponsive after sleep.

    Hello,
    I'm trying to help a friend with her Mac Mini.  For some reason the mouse is unresponsive after the computer sleeps.  I've tried using different mice to the same result.  I have tried using different USB ports to the same result.  Anything else plugged into USB is fine, its just the mice that are unresponsive.  The only way to resolve the problem is to force a restart.  The machine is stock running 10.5.1
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Rany

    I just bought a Mac Mini with Leopard, using wired Mighty Mouse, and also have the problem of the mouse freezing after logout.
    I have found that the mouse will freeze if the logout confirmation button is pressed with the mouse instead of return. Scrubbing the mouse rapidly across the screen while the system is processing the logout causes the mouse to freeze up almost every time.
    The work-around seems to be to use return logout, and don't touch the mouse until the login screen is presented.
    This problem also occurred with a Logitech mouse, which is why I bought the wired Apple mouse. (In order to isolate the problem to Apple hardware or eliminate the problem.)
    I hope that this problem is fixed soon -- I've just switched over from Windows Vista and am downgrading my old Dell box to Windows XP, because I wouldn't give Windows Vista to my worst enemy!

  • Flashing blue screen on startup after unplug

    MacBook Pro - Leopard 10.5.8
    After closing MBP, thus sending it into a state of sleep, I accidentally unplugged it.  (No battery.) 
    When I turn it on, it goes past the Apple logo to the blue screen and keeps flashing two shades of blue, with an occasional loading wheel.
    -I've repaired disk and disk permissions via OS Disc.
    -I flashed the PRAM.
    -I can boot XP Bootcamp partition.
    -I cannot Safe Boot.
    Any ideas?

    I am now running 10.6.8 off an external drive. I copied my Applications and pretty much everything from Library folders that weren't Apple system stuff (it wouldn't let me replace those). I just tried to open Pro Tools and it can't because something is missing. Any idea what this might be and if it might be something I should try to salvage from the corrupt system drive using Data Rescue?
    I can reinstall Pro Tools from scratch, but I'd rather not if I can just easily find the files it needs.

  • Blue Screen on boot after Quicktime 7.4.1 update

    The install went fine then I rebooted and now my 17" MBP just sits with a blue screen and the login window doesn't load. Any suggestions?

    I'm having what sounds like the exact same problem when restarting my Mac Pro after that update (although I also had a few other updates to catch up on that happened concurrently). After the grey apple screen, the startup stops on the blue screen before the login screen. The mouse arrow appears, but nothing else happens. I've tried starting up from the install disk and repairing the disk and permissions, but that didn't solve it. It still gets stuck when attempting to boot in safe mode, too. I also tried single-user mode and then rebooting from there, but it still sticks on the blue screen. Basically, I've just tried starting and restarting it number of ways, but nothing seems to get me past the blue screen . . . Someone?

  • Blue Screen 15 seconds after every start up

    As it says, I get a blue screen (don't think its the screen of death) that only appears for a second or less once windows 7 has a chance to load. I think it says something about hardware, it could be telling me to check it. I can't get enough time to read it. AFter it appears the Mac just shuts down.
    I'm running a stock 2.8Ghz quad mac pro from last november. Just after the install it was fine, installed a driver for my wacom tablet and the windows support software that Apple suggested I download. I think it could be a funky driver. I saw somewhere online about a bad driver being supplied which caused something similar but that was from a few years ago.
    Any ideas?

    x: is the booted system, you have to change it to c: this is the system partition of boot camp
    at the command prompt type:
    c: [enter]
    cd [foldername] to change directory and cd.. to go back
    to move files type:
    move [filename] [foldername] if the level of the folder is the same as the file
    to move the file one level up type:
    move filename ../
    to rename the file type:
    rename [filename]
    when this is working for you and you are able to boot your system, you need a USB mouse since the touchpad is deactivated because of the missing drivers
    then download the newest Boot Camp drivers, after the install everything is working again.
    you can see the files when you are in OSX, but you can´t rename then, you need a NTFS Driver for OSX first, which allows you to write to NTFS Partition.
    Good luck!

  • IMac has empty blue screen on waking from sleep

    My iMac goes to a blue empty screen when waking from sleep. No login. No desktop shows up. Any ideas or explanations? I am working on clearing off hard drive space - currently about 100GB available on 1TB system. But I do not know if that could be a cause.
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    As far as resetting the SMT, my only option was to hold the power button down and force the system off anyway, since I couldn't see anything.
    I did reset the PRAM, which ended up being disastrous! Instead of encountering the problem each time the system went to sleep like what had been happening, after I reset the PRAM, it started doing it immediately during startup. I couldn't even get to the desktop. The computer was completely unusable!
    If I hadn't had a spare monitor around, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with my computer! Interestingly, the problem doesn't occur with my old Apple Studio Display, just my new Apple Cinema Display.
    You better revert to 10.5.4 and stay with it until this is resolved.

  • X1 Carbon Touch Screen stops responding after sleep

    Hi, 
    My X1 Screen does not come back after sleep for several minutes. I've encountered this problem the very fist day I've received it, a reboot solved the problem but after few days it happened again, this time it took 2-3 hours for it to come back after several reboots. After a week it was gone for good, Service replaced the motherboard and just received my X1 back yesterday. Today it happened again. A reboot solved the problem but symptoms are same. Comp goes to sleep, when I try wake it up, X1 works but diplay is totaly gone. I can hear the sounds, see the fingerprint sensor etc is alive but can not wake up the display.. 
    Model is 208A and Win 8.1
    Any ideas ? 
    Thanks

    Hey...got your back on this one! I returned a T440s because of this.....tech support had no idea...same problem for the replacement they sent to me, and again they it's a motherboard issue. Nope....trial and error...found the solution. Download and upgrade your fingerprint pro software and it's fixed. Here is the link. Please post if it worked for you too!
