Bootcamp: XP won't wake after standby

2010 Macbook Pro 13, OS X 10.6.3, XP Home SP 3. Install went fine, everything works. However, if I close my lid while using XP the computer won't wake up again. A hard reboot is required to recover.

Update: I've gone to the XP Software updater and downloaded and installed 72 "urgent" updates and several optional software updates. I'm not sure what was in those updates or why my new XP install was down so many updates but the problem is resolved.
Steps: Start -> Help and Support -> "Keep your computer up to date with Windows Update" I then selected "Custom" and installed everything.

  • 23" momitor won't wake after sleep after installing Radeon AGP 128 dual dvi

    hello,
    My monitor won't wake after sleep mode. This is new after installing the radeon 128mb dual dvi card. I assumed it should be "ready to go" because I bought it at Tekserve, which sells and fixes Macs.
    And if I have my 17" acer display connected the desktop, upon wake-up, partially swithches to the 17" -minus the tool bar. And without the tool bar I cannot access the OS or preferences. I have to restart.
    Is there a driver to solve this dilemma? I can keep the computer on without sleep and turn off the monitors but that seems to be a poor solution.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Check for Login Items 
    Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there.
    And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash
    If there's enough disk space and login items aren't an issue, launch Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).

  • IMac won't wake after sleep

    Hi
    I have a brand new iMac 21.5" with Hybrid drive.
    Its OS and apps are fully update to date.
    Strange thing is that it won't wake from sleep.
    To reboot, I have to turn the power off at the wall and back on again. Neither of the usual
    wake/reboot processes work (holding the power button briefly or holding the power button for
    > 10 seconds). No combination of opt/ctrl/cmd/power work either. I have to turn it off at the wall
    and back on again, after which it immediately boots.
    I've reset the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM.
    I've checked the power options - which are set to defaults (sleep after 15 IIRC).
    I've also checked the console log at the time of sleep - and there is no indication of anything
    going wrong (an example is below).
    Does anyone have any other ideas as to what I can try before going through the painful process
    of sending it into the shop?
    Many thanks.
    Paul.
    Console log below. You can see the machine went to sleep after 12:05pm, and I woke it up and 8:20pm. There seem to be no unusual messages in the middle.

    I have gone to the apple support team - and they took me to the standard apple "what happens if your mac won't turn on" page
    (If your Mac won't turn on - Apple Support) and walked me through the standard checks (which I'd already done).
    The support guy thought it was a bad driver - I'm not so sure as I haven't installed anything new (just updates).
    Anyway - I was just hoping/wondering someone in the wider community had seen this issue before I take the machine
    in for servicing.

  • G4 won't wake after sleeping

    My ibook G4 has recently been unable to wake after sleeping. The only recent software change was a Security update and itunes update. the problem seemed to start just after that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    The screen is not set to dark. When it fails to wake up from sleeping, there is no noise from the disk drive. There is no reaction to any input except holding the on off button until it restarts.
    This seems to be an intermittent problem; sometimes it won't wake at all, sometimes it wakes, but makes a steady buzzing noise until I restart it.
    I've set it to never sleep, but since I travel with my computer most every day, I do have to close it, and then often have the problem when I re-open it.

  • Screen won't wake after notification

    This seems to be an ongoing problem with this handset. The screen will not wake after a notification when it is on standby. Is there any solutions to this problem?
    Trying to boot in safe mode is difficult as you cannot see what is happening in the os. You can still hear sounds and feel vibrations.
    Thanks

    It would turn On on every notification even in pocket, so the device only wakes on calls, not messages or fb updates. Turning screen on every notification could make the phone to open apps and do costs inside pocket.

  • IMac won't wake after Snow Leopard install

    I installed 10.6 on my MacBook and iMac. No problems with the MacBook. But every once in a while after putting my iMac asleep it won't wake up. I push the power button, click and type. Nothing. Sometimes if I wait 10 min it turns on by itself, but usually I have to hold the power button down and reset the computer. Any ideas? Is it something on my end or an Apple bug?

    Same problem here. Ever since I installed SL, I randomly get this problem requireing restart. Here is crash log for anyone that understands this goobledeegook:

  • IPhone 4 won't wake after phone call

    I'm experiencing some problems with the new iphone. When I make a call and place the phone to my ear, the screen correctly goes blank. But when I finish my call and bring the phone down, the screen remains blank n won't wake. I repeatedly press the wake/sleep button but nothing. I have to wait, and eventually the screen activates and I'm then able to end the call.

    I am experiencing the same issue. My phone also completely freezes ad won't wake up at all. I have to reboot it. I attempted to sync it (hoping it would fix the issue), but nothing has changed. Has anyone found out how to fix the issue?
    I'm an Apple loyalist. I don't want this to change my opinion.

  • ARD client won't wake after sleep

    I have a client on the network that won't wake. I have the "wake for ethernet access" checked and access set up correctly (seven other machines with same OS and ARD client version working fine). Running a MacPro with 10.5.8 with ARD Client version 3.3.1. Any suggestion as to what I'm missing? THANKS!!

    Sorry for my delayed response...It's on the same subnet. There may be something plugged into one of his firewire ports. Could that be something?

  • Won't wake after installing 10.4.8

    After I installed 10.4.8 my MBP (17") will not wake from sleep. I have reset the pmu without success. Anyone know what's happening here?

    I've had the same thing occur to me three times. My MBP has also kernel paniced a couple of times since updating to 10.4.8.
    Sorry, I'm not much help, but I can commiserate.

  • New MacBookPro won't wake after SafeSleep

    Trying to wake my new MacBookPro after hibernation or SafeSleep results in a kernel panic. Once the battery has run down and I've connected the power source and restarted, the familiar gray screen appears with the status lights at the bottom which move very rapidly to the middle (the laptop has an SSD drive) and then the process halts. After a few seconds I get a strange screen with almost horizontal lines and I'm forced to shut down by holding the power key. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? BTW, I've saved the crash reports.

    Thanks for the response. Here's the first one I saved (it's a lot shorter). Please let me know if you'd like to see the other one.

  • Leopard won't wake after sleep

    When I go to my computer in the morning it will not wake.
    It hangs at a blue screen....this never happened with Tiger!
    I have to do a restart by powering down holding the power button.
    Any possible fix?

    I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
    Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
    Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
    My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
    My vote is that it's a bug.

  • Won't wake after sleep unless charging.

    Sometimes when I put my macbook pro to sleep it shuts down after some time and will only turn back on when plugged in. This is very annoying as if I don't take my charger with me my mac won't turn on. Can anybody help me? Thankyou

    I'm running 10.7 as well. I had the same situation occur to me: I had put my MBP to sleep. The next day, I opened it up to find that it had shutdown overnight. Had to plug in the power adapter and push the "on" button to start-up machine. Strangely enough, the battery had 75%+ charge when it shutdown during sleep.

  • MacBook Pro Retina won't wake after after sleeping!

    On most occasions after my 13" MacBook Pro Retina  has been put to sleep (by closing lid or pressing Power  button) overnight  it will not wake up again until I have reset the Systems Management Controller.   Opening the lid, or Power button or Space bar still leaves a black screen.
    My wife's new 11" MacBook Air suffers similar problems even after our local Apple Store reinstalled Mavericks in an attempt to resolve the problem..
    Any thoughts on a solution would be gratefully received - thanks.

    Mac Pro is not the same as the notebook MacBook Pro

  • MacBook Air won't wake after shutting lid

    Hey guys,
    My 11" Macbook air OsX 10.6.8 goes to sleep when I shut the lid with external monitor plugged in.
    The problem is, it will not un-sleep anymore. Usuall just opening the lid would do this, but now it just stays blank on both monitors. Pressing the on button elicits no response either.
    To get back to the computer I have to hold on button down for 5 seconds. Presumably this forces full shutdown, Then pressing the on button will do a full load from shutdown.
    Incredibly frustrating! Is there ay way to adjust the settings for what closing the lid does?

    I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
    I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?

  • MacBook Pro Won't wake after going to sleep.

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. My 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) will go to sleep and then not respond when trying to wake. This only happens when my computer goes to sleep with the display open (usually when watching DVD's or writing papers). The indicator light stays bright and the only way to get it responding again is to shut the whole thing down by holding the power button I have searched the forms and can't find anything that has worked... I have cleared the PRAM and reset the SMC as it said to do on other posts on these forms, but nothing has worked. I have run all OS X updates and firmware updates. I'm running on 10.6.2.
    I have heard it could be the Bluetooth or an external drive attached... neither of them are on my mac.
    Should I take it into the apple store? Or has someone figured this out?
    Thanks!

    Sorry for such a long delayed response...
    I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
    Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
    Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
    I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
    I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
    I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
    So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
    Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
    Thank you!
