Brand New Macbook Pro 17 Won't Wake From Sleep

6 day old Macbook Pro 17 unibody refuses to go past white screen. I have tried a forced reboot. Nothing. Laptop just goes to white screen with no response from keyboard. Can't boot into safe-mode. Can't do anything. Logo doesn't appear. Just white screen and sits there indefinetely.
HELP!

Furthermore, I am now hearing a faint repeated beep coming from the lower right side. (where I assume the HD is)

    I have a similar issue with my MBP, it's been on-going for a while but I just never had time to stop and deal with it.
    This week I had a new logic board put in, low and behold it's still doing it (I get a kernel panic after resume).
    Trying to track it down myself now. AHT and everything says the hardware is fine, fresh install (erase with 0 on disk) and all updates, no 3rd party software.

  • OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

    Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

    I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
    The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

  • Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

    > during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
    All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something.  You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape.  If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar.  This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar.  Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed.  If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present.  When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?

  • MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

    If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
    The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
    Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

    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.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard + new MacBook Pro incompatible on wake from sleep

    Hello all
    I've seen a few discussions on the web re this issue, but no resolutions.
    I've been using a 4 year-old (white) Apple Bluetooth Keyboard for some time with my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and never had an issue with it. Just upgraded to a new Core i5 Unibody MacBook Pro and I'm having problems.
    Everything's fine on startup but as soon as my MBP goes to sleep and I wake it back up, I get repeating keystrokes (even though I'm not touching any keys) and the keyboard is unusable until I physically turn it off and then on again.
    Just to preempt the responses I've seen to this issue elsewhere: (1) the keyboard's batteries are good, (2) the keyboard still operates perfectly if I associate it with the old MBP, but as soon as I associate it back to the new one the issues are still there, (3) there is nothing causing radio interference around my desk (and as I said it works fine with the older mac).
    Does anyone know of any bluetooth issues on new MacBook Pros that could cause this?.
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this issue.
    Darren

    It's not a solution more an observation, but the newer bluetooth (aluminium) keyboards and magic trackpads do not exhibit this behaviour (so it looks like it's specific to that older keyboard for some reason)

  • MacBook pro won't wake from sleep must remove battery

    We have an early 2008 15" C2D MacBook pro. Frequently when we put it to sleep, it won't wake up. It doesn't respond to the power button. We have to pull the battery, wait a few minutes reinstall it and reboot.
    What should we check out? Or are we better off taking it to the Store and getting it fixed. It's under Applecare.

    When my late 2007 C2D MBP started doing that, it was after traveling with the computer. I finally reviewed the system log to find that, on attempting to wake, the computer was looking for the network at a hotel where we had stayed.
    I opened System Preferences > Network, selected "Airport" and clicked on "Advanced." On the first tab is a list of networks the computer has remembered. I found the hotel network name and deleted it, along with about a dozen other now-remote networks accumulated during travel. I also unchecked "Remember any network this computer has joined."
    Works fine now. All that show are the two local networks I use the most: one for home and another for a museum where I volunteer.
    Easy to try, although I agree with tjk to have the Apple Store document the issue in case it proves to be something more sinister.

  • MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep

    I shut down using the apple menu, but closed the lid right after the icons on the desktop went away and didn't wait for it to fully shut down. Came back about an hour later to start it up again and after pressing the power button it starts up (makes fan noise) but all I see is a black screen (indicator light on front is dim). When I shut the lid the indicator light gets brighter (as if in reverse of putting it to sleep by closing the lid). Have tried doing a force shutdown by holding the power button down for 10 seconds and restarting. The computer seems to restart but screen is dark. Indicator light never pulsates as if really in sleep mode. I've plugged in battery to see if it needed chargeing, but the green light is on saying it's charged (as opposed to the orange light)Can anyone help?

    If this is happening while you are using wireless networking, try this:
    Mine did that when I let a bunch of wireless networks picked up during travel accumulate. A review of the system log showed that, on waking, the MBP was searching for a specific hotel network 60 miles away, where I'd stayed about 10 days before. To fix:
    1) Open System Preferences > Network and make sure the Airport is selected
    2) Click "Advanced" at the bottom of the airport page. A new window will appear, hopefully with its "Airport" tab selected. If not, make it so.
    3) Using the + and - buttons, clear out all networks to which you no longer connect on at least a weekly basis.
    4) Uncheck "remember networks this computer has joined."
    It takes less time to do this than read what I typed. so try it and see if the sleep issues go away. I know this has fixed the sleep problem on many others MBPs.

  • When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
    I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" ,  I thought is the same position like MBP15"
    I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
    Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!  
    P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

  • Macbook Pro Won't Wake From Deep Sleep

    I'm having issues from my Macbook Pro waking from a deep sleep after my battery dies. If the battery dies and it goes into sleep, my Macbook Pro won't wake even if it's connected to power. I can remove the battery, hold down the power button, press keys and nothing happens.
    I know the obvious thing is to not let the battery die, but I don't always work near outlets.
    I've tried resetting the nvram and smc and nothing has worked. I'm probably going to bring it into Apple soon, but I really can't be without my computer for class.

    Yes, I've tried that. It doesn't work. I've left the battery in, I've taken it out and left it out for a bit and nothing seems to work. It just turns back on whenever it feels like it.
    I just had a sort of similar issue with a restart (no dead battery this time though). After my computer shutdown from a restart, it didn't want to boot back up. After holding down the power button and doing a few other things, I gave up. Then I closed the lid and set it down. It then decided to turn itself on.
    I think I'm going to bring it in. I do massive amounts of design and web work on this thing and I can't have it messing up.

  • My brand new MacBook Pro won't turn on. What's the deal with this?

    I got the thing yesterday. Sat down with it last night and everything started up fine. I set up my account and then it was time for updates. Naturally, I said yes to the updates. They downloaded, they installed, and that was the last time my brand new MacBook Pro turned on. I've checked to see that the battery is fully charged. I've tried plugging into other outlets. I've tried removing the battery and the power cord and pressing the power button for 5 seconds. Nothing has worked. When I put my ear up to it while pressing the power button, I can hear it try to start and get about 2-3 seconds in to start up and then a click and nothing. Does anybody have any idea what the heck has happened here?

  • Brand new macbook pro won't turn on

    I bought the new macbook pro on May 15 2010 from Best Buy. It has up til now been working great. When i tried to wake it from sleep today it would not turn on. It isn't even charging with the power cord in (the little light on the power cord isn't on). I guess I bought a brand new dud. Any suggestions?

    wow thanks guys. So I took it back to best buy today and of course the Geeksquad guy comes back to me and says it was working. Apparently the battery drained down to 0. I have no idea how exactly that happened. I always leave it plugged in and it was the last time i used it before it stopped working. i put it to sleep, and when i tried to wake it the next day i got absolutely nothing. I did try other outlets, and was able to function my PC laptop on those same outlets, but for whatever reason my MAC wouldn't even charge (the little light on the power cord didn't light up when it was plugged in). Ugh. Anyway, so all is well now i guess, cause it's working. I still don't understand how it was able to drain itself all the way to 0 while asleep and then refuse to charge no matter what outlet i tried. Geeksquad guy said the adapter was fine. And my outlets worked when i plugged other things into them. Guess i'll leave well enough alone?

  • BRAND NEW Mac Pro won't boot from Leopard DVD, kernel panics!

    I just received my brand new Mac Pro today. It's a BTO machine with the upgrade to the NVIDIA 8800GT, a second optical drive and a Mac OS X Server license. The system has Mac OS X server installed on the default 320GB drive. I decided to use the server license as a virtual machine running in Leopard client. So, I installed 2 new 500GB Seagate 7200.11 (Retail) drives in the machine, zeroed them out in prep for installing Leopard client.
    At this point, I pop in a freshly-purchased retail copy of the Leopard DVD and restart. When I try to boot from the DVD and install Leopard to one of the new Seagate drives, I get kernel panics - need to restart the machine. Also tried booting from the Mac OS X Server DVD and this too only caused kernel panics. The DVD's read perfectly from within Mac OS X Server and boot from hard disks is flawless.
    I spent an hour on the phone with a level 2 tech at Apple - Tried swapping out the RAM and moving around the DIMMS to no avail. I am at a loss to what this could be. Seems to be a hardware issue and the tech thought it was likely a problem with one of the memory risers but couldn't send replacements. Anyone else with a similar issue?
    This is my first Mac and it looks like this Mac Pro is going back for an exchange and I'll have to wait yet another 10-12 days for a replacement to arrive. Bummer.
    Am I missing something simple here? Does this seem to be a hardware issue?
    If anyone has any ideas before I ship this one back, please write!!!

    New Mac Pros will not install the Leopard retail disc. They will only install the Leopard disc which shipped with them labeled Mac Pro. That has always been true. Macs can only boot the system that ships on DVD in the box that came with them, and newer retail releases. They can never boot from an older retail release than what shipped in the box.

  • MacBook Pro will not wake from sleep

    My new 13" MacBook Pro will occasionally refuse to wake from sleep. Touching the keyboard or moving the mouse will turn on the keyboard background lights but the computer will not wake. This occurs without any peripherals attached.  I have reset the PRAM and the SMC ... no help.
    The only option for recovery is the hard power down with the power button and restart. Anyone else seeing this?

    Yes and I hate it. I am having pretty much the same problem, and have tried the same solutions, also Iupgraded to Lion and there still has been no relief. My computer just runs slower.

    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.
