Can't bring system out of Hibernate mode after snow leopard install

Things work fine until I come back to the mac after it goes into 'suspend mode"... i hit the keyboard to wake it up and all i get is the eternal wheel of death. I have to turn off the mac, then unplug it for a few minutes, then start it up. It takes over 3 minutes to boot ( compared to 32 seconds on my Air).
Is anyoone else experiencing anything similar? Any suggestions?

I am having a similar problem but with an added wrinkle:
If I walk away from my MBP, the screen will eventually go black and I cannot bring it back (sometimes even without the spinning wheel of death) but I notice that the computer is still running hot, which makes no sense at all. I have to manually shut down and wait for the machine to cool in order to get a normal reboot. If I close the machine, there is no problem: the computer cools nicely. (Any ideas? (I did not do a clean install.)
The problem does not occur with my iMac.

  • Can't get some websites to work after snow leopard install, java maybe?

    I'm a day trader. I use TD Ameritrade every day to work on. I believe the real time streamer and level 2 quotes are all java based.
    This past weekend I did the Snow Leopard install on my computer. Until this morning it seemed like all was well.
    I go to ameritrade and try to log in and it keeps saying it doesn't recognize my log in. I called them and they are able to log into my account so its my computer. I went to the java preferences and there use to be a lot of java types there now there are just 2, could that some how be it?
    Any suggestions?

    Safari is a 64 bit application, is it worth starting the app in 32 bit mode and testing if it is any better.
    use finder and highlight Safari in the applications directory, do a get Info (cmd i) and tick the 32 bit mode box and restart Safari.
    If it does not help remember to revert back to 64 bit mode.

  • How do i get my iphone 5 out of recovery mode after trying to install ios 7

    Alright, so i tried to install ios 7 and i got an error saying that the ios 7 update got a problem and so then my phone went into recovery mode. i installed tiny umbrella to get it out of recovery and it worked, so then i tried to install ios 7 again and it got another error this time my phone had already been switched to the ios 7 format but was not completely done, so my phone went into recovery mode again. so i tried tiny umbrella again and it just kept going back to recovery mode. i tried to restore my phone after trying to look for another way to get my phone out of recovery mode and i got nothing so i decided to restore my phone and i then get another freaking error saying that itunes could not restore due to a problem, then i just decided to try tiny umbrella one last time and it didnt work. so i tried to restore again but now my phone is not being detected on itunes so i cant do anything, and my phone is stuck in recovery mode... all i was trying to do is get the new update and now my phone is dead, it wont do anything please help!!

    Use tinyumbrella. Connect your iphone, click on the random string of numbers that appears in the recover devices window, and click "exit recovery". That solved my problem, and it may solve yours. Give it a shot.

  • Can't Print After Snow Leopard Install?

    My network includes iMac(2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo), a Compaq laptop and Ativa router (AWGR54 Wireless G v01)(Belkin),Brother MFC6490CW (all-in-one wireless). All working fine together.
    Added a brand new Macbook running Snow Leopard which connects to internet/email just fine, but WOULD NOT PRINT to Brother MFC6490CW printer. When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW. So now both iMac and Macbook won't print unless wired.
    Any ideas?

    When I upgraded iMac from Leopard to Snow Leopard 10.6 it also stopped printing wirelessly to Brother MFC6490CW.
    I thought I had this same issue with my Epson printer when wireless printing. Actually, in SL, wireless printing is very slow at least with an Epson. Takes about 5 minutes or so for wireless print to even start. When checking the printing status app, it will start out saying "printer ready." Then after a few minutes it will say "looking for printer." A few minutes later it will say "printing."
    When I go into the next room where the printer is, the green light is "flashing" letting me know that "printing" has started.
    So I guess what I am trying to say is to check the printing status app after you click "print." It's possible "Brother" is just as slow as "Epson."

  • Slow CS3 / system performance after Snow Leopard install

    Since installing 10.6, I've noticed a systemwide slower performance; there's a slight hesitation after everything I do. Even something as simple as changing a filename causes a second or two of hesitation... then it lets me change the name.
    This is especially noticeable in CS3 software; painting or editing in Photoshop is very difficult, because there's a second or two of hesitation before things occur. Even clicking menu items takes a second before the item opens.
    Anyone else have this? So far, 10.6 (and yes, 10.6.1) have been a definite downgrade to my performance.

    I have noticed no hesitation or slowdown, in fact startup and shutdown are noticeably faster, and system wide speed is same or better.
    This is only relevant for photoshop, but ...

  • Updated. See 3 new Qs at bottom...After XP system restore back to earlier FF version, FF won't open, it's in safe mode. How can it be opened out of safe mode? Can precious, previous History be retreived?

    THIS IS A RE-POST OF THE QUESTIONS previously posted, PREVIOUSLY POSTED, now adding a request that 3 new summary questions--at the bottom--be answered.
    NOTE: I specifically need answers to the 3 new, summary Qs now posted at the bottom of the Sequence of Events:
    Sequence of events:
    1) I was using Version 3.6.22 and I needed to
    upgrade to Version 6.0.
    2) Before beginning, I set a restore point in Windows XP so that in case I did not like 6.0, I could go back to the restore point which contained
    3.6.22 and I would stick with that version.
    3) I did not uninstall 3.6.22 but loaded 6.0 on top of it, so to speak, thinking that would save my history and other features such as bookmarks. Opening 6.0 I was horrified to see it did not contain my history files!...so I had to go back to 3.6.22.
    4) After returning back to the restore point that contained 3.6.22, on the desktop, clicking on the Firefox icon, it won't open.
    5) I went to desktop, in lower left clicked Start, then clicked Programs, and yes Firefox is there as an installed program, however the tag reads Mozilla Firefox (safe mode)...so it's in safe mode and won't
    open. What now?---~~~~~(end of original post).
    HERE ARE THE EXACT 3 Qs I need answered:
    1) Can I retreive and save MY PRECIOUS HISTORY from somewhere? Can I force new 6.0 to find and retreive it from 3.6.22) And how would I do that? That's the reason I'm trying to go back to 3.6.22, because it likely still contains my history which does not appear in new install of 6.0?
    2) As it stands, go back to previous state now has Firefox 3.6.22 in safe mode. It won't open after XP went back to previous state containing 3.6.22. File tree says Firefox is installed but is now in safe mode. So Q2 is: Can I open Firefox out of safe mode and if so how?--I'd be done because it likely still contains my history.
    And if not, can I get retreive my history from it somehow? Or somehow get 6.0 to rediscover it hidden somewhere (Show All History in new 6.0 install was empty).
    3) Do I have to give up on retreiving my history even though it's got to be somewhere in my computer? I did not uninstall anything.
    If my history cannot be retreived, then I have no choice but to proceed in life with 6.0 without my precious History, a huge store of info and loss of data for me, big time!
    FIREFOX HELP NEEDS TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO SAVE THEIR HISTORY WHEN THEY UPGRADE TO NEW VERSION and whether or not to uninstall previous FF version first. Please pass this urgent advice on to Firefox techs. I can't even figure out how to email THEM!!!!
    Thank you all out there in cyberspace whereever you may be!
    (P.S. Cor el, thanks for your reply...how do I reach you by email link does not work....)

  • Where can I see System.out output?

    This question has been posted back in may and if somebody found out what the correct answer is please let me know.
    Thank you.
    Hi All
    How can I see the results of my System.out.prints?
    Marcnull

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but when Java code is run inside 8i, the System.out can be found in the 'udump' directory on your server. I believe there is a file there for each session -- look for the last updated. Maybe someone who knows more about 8i can say exactly what the 'udump' directory is...
    If you're running Java published as PL/SQL in SQL*Plus, you can redirect the System.out to your SQL*Plus session like this:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 5000
    CALL DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT(5000);
    (The size can be from 2,000-1,000,000)
    I've run some Java in 8i by itself, but I'm still trying to understand architecturally where the "border" between 9iAS and 8i is...

  • My phone is in recovery mode after trying to install new release.  How can I get out of this?

    My iphone 4 is in recovery mode after trying to install update 7.1.1.  How can I get out of this with out having to do a restore?

    You don't. You have no choice but to restore at this point. The update did not complete successfully. iOS needs to be restored using iTunes.

  • Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change

    Hello. To get right to the chase, I have this envy 15 series laptop. It came with a 768GB hdd, which I upgraded to an SSD (512GB one) Recently, I decided to downgrade the storage back to the original hdd the laptop came with. I was obviously expecting my system's performance to decrease, especially with boot times and what not, but I was also expecting the performance to be the same as what it was when I originally received my laptop, more or less. However, this has not been the case. The laptop's performance has greatly suffered after reinstalling the *originaly hdd this laptop came with* Issues: Boot up times are ridiculously slow now. I mean, so slow that I figure I should go downstairs and have a drink while I wait for it to boot slow. It was never even remotely this slow, before or after upgrading to my ssd. When the pc goes to sleep, it does not wake up. Perhaps it would wake up if I left it alone for a few hours, but I'm not willing to do that, and no one should be. I'm also speaking literally right now. I have to force my laptop off and then turn it on normally in order to boot back from "sleep" mode. I've since had to turn off automatic sleep. If I close the lid to let my laptop hybernate, it does not recover. When I turn it on, it looks like it will return from hypernate, but it does not. It turns itself off. When I turn it on again, it boots normally, but it does so as if I had shutdown the pc and then booted back up. It takes windows a long time to login, and get everything running so that the pc runs normal. None of this is normal. This pc has absolutely no excuse to be running this slow. It never has, and it only started after switching back to my hdd. What I did: I cloned my HDD onto an SSD. In case it matters, I used Acronis true image to do it. Last night, I switched back, and used the same software to clone my SSD back into my HDD. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but there you go. I used sector writes to clone the SSD back into the HDD. I think I did the same to clone the HDD into the SSD the first go around, as I seem to recall having issues with the automatic clone last time as well as this time, but I'm not 100% positive. Troubleshooting steps I've taken: I first ran a complete chkdsk /r in order to fix any problems, and then allow me to extend my C drive for all of the free space my disk now had, due to cloning a smaller drive. I then did a full defrag and optimize on my disk. Finally I ran winsat to recheck my hw's performance, and let windows know that I no longer had an SSD but rather an HDD. This turned superfetch back on, and I confirmed that it was now running again. I'm not really sure what else to do.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-j171nr Notebook and issues with Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change. Here is a link on performance issues. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which has helped others. I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Can't restart in any mode after crash during snow leopard install.

    i have had repeated kernel panics. taken laptop to apple store twice in the past few weeks and they found nothing. suggested upgrading to snow leopard (i was on leopard) and the computer froze and flashed during the install and crashed. now it won't start in any mode. not safe mode, off the leopard install disk. i either get a flashing folder with a question mark or just a black screen. anything else i can try or has the system totally crashed. this is an 07 macbook pro.

    Daniel ~ Welcome to the discussions. If you didn't backup iWeb's key Domain file before the clean install, you'll probably need to start over. I say "probably" because even though you didn't deliberately back up the Domain file, perhaps you were running Time Machine — in which case, there's still hope:

    Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
    You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.

    My MACBOOK Pro turned out to be Snow Leopard, and later upgraded toLION. And update the EFI, I would like to replace the Snow Leopard, EFIcan not boot, how do? How to use the Snow Leopard install disk to reduce EFI?

    Do you mean some of your software does not work in Lion? Do you want to return to using Snow Leopard? If so, then do this:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • I have a macbook (2006) with 10.6 snow leopard installed. Can i get EA's origin and sims. It has a Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have a Macbook 2006 with 10.6 snow leopard installed. I was wondering if i could get EA's origin download and sims 3 the game? The laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.

    Unfortunately no, I have e exact same problem. Our ancient laptops are to the full extent of upgrading available for its time..., I'm trying to find an older version of origin to download to my Mac at the moment... Take my email if you want and if I come across anything ill send you the link. The only other thing I can think of is to upgrade the entire Mac software to the newest version but that includes wiping out the entire system and hard drive and locating the software disc to do that and I'm not even sure if it will process all of that information since apple conciders our laptops "vintage" there's no way to go back because they don't support the software for these older ones anymore.
    Sorry.

    I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.
