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.

Macbook pro will not wake from sleep without shut down?

My macbook pro 2007 will not wake from sleep without holding down start button and then restarting? Is this a serious problem?

You can Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
You can run the Disk Utility> Repair Disk from Recovery ( command R on start)
if that does not sort it I would reinstall OS X

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.

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)

My brand new Macbook Pro will not turn on even though it says it is charged

I suggest you take it in for repair/replacement.

MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep in Lion

A lot of people are reporting that their MBP freezes (which happens to me, too) but this concerns a totally different issue.
About 5-10% of the time, when I return to my MBP after it has initiated sleep, I cannot get the system to respond.
Keyboard should wake the MBP. Power button should wake. Opening the lid should wake. None do.
The system is cold. No fans, to backlight, to nuttin'. All that works is the sleep indicator, which turns on and off when I open and close the lid.
The only way to use the system is to force restart (hold down power, reboot) at which time the system does its 'resume'-thing... as if it ran out of juice and went into hibernate.
How do we fix this? I'm running a clean install of Lion (10.7.1) (same issue with 10.7.0) - installed it fresh after formatting the HDD - so Snow Leopard remnants from upgrades cannot be a problem here.

I began having issues whereby my Macbook Pro would freeze after waking from sleep...whether automatic sleep mode or manually-induced. Got worse by the day, so I looked in this Forum and found that the problem was widespread..
My issue came when I tried to open MS Office Mac (Outlook) or open Firefox. In nearly every instance, the computer (and sometimes the screen) would freeze, sometimes with the little whirling ball remaining on forever. All these forced me to power down with the on-off button, which was distasteful.
After reading all the posts in the Mac forums regarding this issue, I determined that the issue most likely to have caused my problem was Microsoft Silverlight. I recalled that I had recently allowed an update.
I went into every folder I could find, including those related to MS Office, and sent every incidence of Silverlight (including folders) to the trash. Then I shut down and restarted the computer, and ran some tests by putting the unit to sleep and waking after a wait time.
After several tests, I have determined that I am now back in good order, sans Silverlight. I think Silverlight is off the radar for my future!

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.

IPhone will not wake from sleep and locks up with new MMS update

Hey everyone,
Has anyone had these problems with their new update as well?
1) Sometimes my iPhone will not wake from sleep mode, I have to hold down both buttons for it to restart...I do this about 5 times a day!
2) I cannot send SMS messages and when I send more than one sometimes the iPhone locks up and will not unfreeze.
Does anyone know if this is an Apple update issue or if it is an AT&T issue? And if this is being addressed?
Apple, if you read this could there be an update to all members what is going on?

I am experiencing the same issue with iPhone 3GS. After yesterday update to 3.1.2, it is a bit better in the sense that I can restart the iPhone slightly faster but still getting frozen screen during a call. I will try to call support once more. I don't believe that the problem is solved in the new update.

IPhone 1.1.4 will not wake from sleep mode

Hi all,
I have an iPhone with 1.1.4 firmware. The problem that I have is that the phone will not wake from sleep mode by pressing the "home" button. I have to press both the "home" and "sleep/power" buttons and hold them for 6 seconds for the phone to restart. I did restore the phone twice - did not solve the problem. Then, one day, I left it charging for about 3 days and when I came back it started working fine. Not for long though( After about a week of normal usage the wake up problem came back. I don't know what to do. I don't think it's the software problem, since I did complete restoration 2 times.
If the phone is connected to a charger or computer - it wakes up fine.
Thanks, Gene K

rimini,
When you've restored the iPhone, have you tried setting it up as a new phone? This would truly eliminate software as a possibility.
If setting it up as a new phone doesn't correct the issue, it's probably time for service: apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
Hope this helps,

HP 15t j000 will not wake from sleep/hibernate Windows 8,8.1,10

HP 15t j000 will not wake from sleep/hibernate Windows 8,8.1,10. I have to restart. I've searched high and low for answer to this. I've seen videos, played with power settings. I hoped each Windows system upgrade would fix the problem. No go. Anyone with any ideas?

Hi , Thank you for your query. I understand that after upgrading to Windows 10, it will not wake from sleep mode unless you restart. The first step I would try is to disable "Hybrid Boot' or "Hybrid Shutdown. This can be done by turning off "Fast Startup" Fast Startup - Turn On or Off in Windows 10 Next try running the "Update Troubleshooter" Windows Update troubleshooter. Once launched, it should show a screen like this. Use the second option "Background Intelligent Transfer Service", it should lead to a force update of 'Windows Updates' that may not be automatically being applied, that could fix some of these issues.
Here is a link to HP PCs - Sleep and Hibernate Issues (Windows 10, 8) that may also help. To say thanks for replying please click the thumbs up button below.If this yielded a solution please choose solution provided to help other people find this information. Best of Luck!

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
