Cannot wake from display sleeping freezes up

I just did a HD upgrade on my 24" imac 2.16ghz to a 1TB drive. All went well as I have done several others and I also switched from 10.4.11 to 10.5 and updated to 10.5.8 with no issues. I have a problem with it waking back up when the display goes to sleep, first it comes up to an all black screen with nothing on it at all and then it comes up to a frozen image of the screen saver with a spinning beach ball. No matter how long it sits it stays there unless I hold the power button to turn it off and restart it. I also was running 10.5.8 prior to this in an OWC external enclosure with the same brand/model 1TB drive and it did it with that too but I attributed that to it being an external drive. Any ideas???

  • MBP (early 2009) won't wake from Display Sleep

    My MBP has started to not wake from Display Sleep (the machine is not sleeping, only the display). The only way to get it back is to force power off by holding the power button down.
    The weird thing is, when I power it on, it shows the 'loading RAM from disk' progress bar down the bottom of the all grey screen, as if the battery ran out. But I have it connected to a power source. Once it loads the RAM, the screen goes blank and it hangs. Another force restart and it boots to the login screen as per normal.
    One thing I have noticed is that when this all happens (ie, when I try to wake it and nothing happens) the fans are on about medium speed and its very warm, as if there is some process thats causing high CPU usage and preventing the display waking. I usually have a few browsers open, iTunes, etc, nothing out of the ordinary.
    I might try connecting via screen sharing next this happens to see if its responsive over the network -- i'll post my findings here.
    I have screen saver with password protection turned on, and its connected to an external apple display.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    Try a SMC reset.

  • MBP15 Retina: Cant wake from Display Sleep

    I've bought my MBP15 with Retina a week or two ago.
    You know how your display turns off after a minute of leaving you Mac idle?
    When I touch the trackpad or any key on the keyboard to log back in, the display turns back on for 1 second, then goes black again.
    It continues to do this everytime I touch a key or the trackpad. Turns back on for 1 second, then turns off again. I can't log in, and have to force-shutoff the Mac to get back in.
    This is very unfortunate, as I'm from Guatemala. We don't have Apple Stores here. So I can't just walk in and get it serviced.
    Anyone has a solution? I've already done a permission fix on the Disk Utility, to no avail.
    + If I close the lid to make it sleep, then open it up again, it turns back on no proble. It's only when the display sleeps.
    Thanks so much everyone.

    Hi Nikolaus
    I have the same issue. Having got myself in the habit of a quick swipe across the Magic Trackpad to reawaken my external 27" display from display sleep, this bug is very annoying. It happens for me when connected to AC power, so the problem is not restricted to running off battery power.
    I shall report this as (another) Lion bug here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Please feel free to add your own complaint, too - the more the merrier

  • External Display doesn't wake from display sleep

    My display is set to sleep after an idle period (computer itself set to not sleep), when I return to the computer and wake the displays the external display most of the time does not "wake" or come back with picture. I need to disconnect the adapter and plug it in again.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Guys, please read THIS thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1760586&tstart=0
    EVERYONE is experiencing this bug if you're using your new MacBook Pro with an external display. In the thread above, I detail how to fix it without having to unplug the DisplayPort adapter.
    The symptoms you're experiencing are:
    1.) Bizarre interference all over the external display when either a) waking your notebook from sleep, or b) turning screen on if the screen is set to turn off after x minutes.
    2.) External display not actually turning on at all after either a) waking your notebook from sleep, or b) turning screen on if the screen is set to turn off after x minutes.
    The fix is listed in the above thread. It's only a temporary workaround, and Apple REALLY needs to address this issue ASAP.

  • MacBookPro cannot wake from sleep mode.

    My MBP cannot wake from a sleep mode.  This doesn't happen all the time, but it is much more often since installing Mountain Lion.  The only way to wake it is to force quit and restart.  I've done a SMC and it did not help.

    Have you also tried to reset the PRAM as well?
    Reset PRAM:

  • Macboor air 13 late 2010 freezes when wake from deep sleep

    Hi. I have had this problem for a few months and still havent found a solution. This macbook air freezes and is totally unresponsive for five or six seconds when it wakes from deep sleep. I have tried:
    1 Apple hardware test, which came up negative. No hardware problem detected
    2 reset the SMC several times. No fix.
    3 repaired permissions in disk utility, and also verified and repaired disk. Still no results.
    4 restarted many times.
    5 tried booting in safe mode, but it made the machine hang.
    The only thing I havent tried yet is resetting the PRAM. in the event that that doesnt work, does anyone have any ideas. I only found thre

    I think it might just depend on how often your machine does this. My MBA 13 has done what you are describing one or twice, but its a rare event. I'm not too worried about it, but you might want to contact AppleCare and see if they have any more information...

  • 27 inch iMac to hang during waking from display sleep

    Every morning when I come to work and try to wake my imac from display sleep (not full mac sleep) it will freeze.
    the freeze goes like this:
    the screen is dark and I press the space bar to wakr the screen.
    it will show the desktop and folders just as I left it but after 10 seconds the screen starts to populate with pinkish graphic squares - imagine the old space invaders graphics - this will get worse and will eventually freeze.
    the freeze will happen quicker if I try to open up a folder or application.
    I can restart the mac and it will freeze again - I can usually restart 3 or 4 times before I can eventually get the mac to work fine.
    If I leave the mac for an hour during the day for a meeting say and on the return it will freeze when I try to wake the screen.
    Spoke with Apple technical support who say reinstall software or try swopping user account - the problem I have with this is it will take me half a day to get the applications back to how I like it before I can start working and I dont have this time.
    I wonder if its a hardware problem but it passes the tooltech diagnostics fine
    I have a screen grab if that helps
    Any ideas?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

  • Mac Mini 2014 Oct cannot wake up after sleep

    Mac Mini 2014 Oct Version, cannot wake up after sleep by typing on keyboard or moving mouse (both hardwired USB) if external HDMI screen goes to sleep mode too (usually after 1 min if no signal coming from the MAC). To wake up, I ust turn off and turn on the screen and keep typing on the keyboard. I already checked "prevent computer from sleeping if display goes to sleep". But does not help. This is very annoying. I now try to set the sleep timer to more than 1 hour. Wasting my energy and not helping. I tried connecting my HDMI screen to a HDMI to mini-Display port adaptor cable, then plug into the thunderbolt port of the MAC. Same issue, no improvement.

    I may know whats going on with the wake from sleep issue. I have a Mac Mini 2012 but this  fix (see below) should work on any product running 10.8.2 Mine is at 10.10.1 and it worked.   First off you can tell if your Mac Mini is in sleep mode by looking at the small light on the front of the Mini. If its pulsing... going from bright to dim its in sleep mode. If you put your Mac in sleep mode, or it goes into sleep mode it will wake from sleep BUT ONLY for the first 4 hours. After 4 hours it will go into what is known as "safe sleep".  The light on the front will be off and you won't be able to wake your Mac. The only way to wake the Mac when in safe sleep is to hit the power button and then wait a minute or longer as your system will need to pull the data from the disk and load to ram. This is causing the issue where its not waking from sleep. You can move your mouse or hit the keys all you want but it won't wake from sleep. This is a real pain as you have to press the power button on the back of the Mac mini and wait for the system to come out of its slumber.   Here's what Apple says:
    With the release of the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 supplemental update 2.0, a new feature was introduced to enter safe sleep after four hours of the computer being connected to AC power. This is an effort to comply with the European Energy Standards (ErP Lot6). This will only occur if there is no wireless or Ethernet activity and no activity from external devices such as USB storage devices. This is normal behavior for the following models:
    MacBook Pro (Mid 2012 and later)
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012 and later)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2012 and later)
    iMac (Late 2012 and later)
    Mac mini (Late 2012 and later)
    I have found a fix that puts an end to this nonsense..... Go to the Mac terminal (Google if you don't know how or youtube) and run the following commands (Very easy to do and if a novice like my self can do you can for sure)
    1. When in the terminal mode type:
    pmset -g          This will show your current configuration of your sleep, hibernate, etc You may want to print so you can restore these values if needed.
    2. Change your standbydelay to  86400    86400 is number of seconds which is 24 hours. Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a standbydelay 86400
    3. Change autopoweroffdelay to 86400  Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroffdelay 86400
    4. At last but not least change autopoweroff to 0   Here’s the command:
    sudo pmset -a autopoweroff  0
    Run pmset -g to verify your setting have changed.  I rebooted my system and checked again to make sure.  Since I made the changes no more going into Safe sleep!!! You can change the values to what you like. I used 86400 secs. (24 hours)  I hope this helps!

  • My iMac 24" late 2006 refuses to wake from deep sleep,

    My iMac is refusing to wake from deep sleep or from a shutdown, will start if I persist in either using safe mode or command mode (cmd + s)but can take many attempts, have repaired permissions and verified disk, on permissions it is constantly changing the permissions on preference panes as listed below, but this is a shortened view, there are 23 lines like this.
    permissions differ on "SystemLibrary/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane/Contents/Resources/sk.lproj/Di splaysPref.nib" should be drwxr-xr-x they are -rw-r- -r- -
    Would it be ok to trash the Preference Pane folder and let it rebuild ???
    Any help welcome

    Helio, you can mostly ignore repeated Permission Repairs.
    To remove Prefpanes, right click on one & nchoose Remove.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

    /Library/StartupItems
    /System/Library/StartupItems

  • 890FXA-GD70 Will Not Wake From S3 Sleep

    890FXA-GD70 will not wake from S3 sleep; the power comes back on and the fans run but the video never returns and the system hard locks with a POST code of 22 or 24. Other than this issue the system is rock solid.
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64
    AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor
    Sapphire 5870 Graphics
    Crucial M4 SSD
    Corsair DDR3
    No overclock
    I have reproduced the issue on two 890FXA-GD70s motherboards and I am convinced that this is not a result of a failed motherboard. I also was able to move my fully installed SSD hard drive, processor, memory and graphics card to an Asus 890FX board and successfully wake from S3 sleep proving that my OS and driver installation are working correctly.
    I know how to properly set the BIOS as I have installed many 890GXM-G65 motherboards for S3 sleep without issue. The problem seems unique to the 890FXA-GD70.
    Is there a fix for this?

    I have identified the cause. The "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" must be "Enabled" to use S3; otherwise the system will hang on the wake event. This is true even if the "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" goes unused. The "Extra RAID/IDE Controller" must be set to "Enabled" for S3 sleep to wake.
    This would seem to me to be a bug since none of the other MSI boards I have used require the optional IDE controller to be enabled in order for S3 to function properly.

  • Waking up display from display sleep

    This is a minor thing, but I'm curious. On my MBP, I have my display set to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use. The MBP itself never sleeps.
    Before upgrading to Lion I could wake up the display by touch the trackpad, or moving the magic mouse.
    After upgrade, the only way I can wake the display seems to be by pressing the spacebar.
    Is there a way to have the display wake up in response to trackpad/mouse touching like before?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Sorry, igmackenzie, but the OS X documentation (for all previous versions, not updated yet for Lion) says otherwise:
    Display sleep: When display sleep occurs, the display will go black, but running applications remain active. If your display has a power indicator, it may change to indicate that the display is in a low-power mode. To wake the display, simply move the mouse, touch the trackpad, or press a key on the keyboard.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1776
    You seem to be suggesting that Apple has proof that all cats know they must avoid running over keyboards and instead only run over mice or trackpads
    I can confirm for a fact that no-one explained this to my sister's cat, as I recently spent the better part of an hour helping her to undo her cat's keyboard-dancing fun.
    I remain of the firm belief that this is a bug that needs fixing. The swipe of a trackpad to awaken from sleep is a very much more intuitive and easy way to go about things - you swipe to the hot corner to sleep it, you swipe it again to awaken it. Simples.

  • Macbook Pro random restart during wake from Safe Sleep

    When my Macbook Pro is waking up from Safe Sleep, sometimes it spontaneously restarts halfway through the process. The Safe Sleep progress bar gets half way, then you hear the startup chime, and then the login screen appears. Obviously, all my unsaved but supposedly 'safe' work is lost at that point.

    Hello there DaveWoo,
    It sounds like your computer is occasionally restarting on its own when you wake it from sleep. There can be a number of reasons for this to happen, and I recommend you use the following article to help you resolve or isolate the issue. Its pretty thorough and has a lot of information.

  • T510 Cannot wake up after sleep when in mini dock plus 3

    I have just got a mini dock puls 3 for my T510 running w7x64. When I leave the PC for some time it enters sleep mode as it should, but I cannot get the PC to wake up again. There seem to be absolute no response to any inputs from my external or build-in key board or mouse. The only way to start the PC again is to press and hold the power button until the PC reboots with the effect that I loose all open items on my dekstop.
    Before I user the mini dock my PC would restart when I swiped the fingerprint reader

    hey kappelgaard,
    welcome to the forums.
    i'm guessing that your unit will wake from sleep if it is not connected to the docking station ?
    could you head over to http://support.lenovo.com and crosscheck that your unit has everything up to date, especially the BIOS.

  • P35D3 with E8400 CPU Wake from S3 Sleep / Standby Problem

    I have a P35D3 Platnium system that I built a few weeks ago.  Everything is stable and all is working fine, except (there is always an "except", right or I would not be posting this message ), when I put the system into standby mode (s3 sleep) I get the black screen of death when I try to wake it up.
    From reading other posts on the boards here I see that there is a known issue with S3 sleep and E8400 CPUs with the P35 Platinum and P35 Neo boards:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=114371.0
    I've already updated to the latest official 1.4 BIOS:
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1230
    but that didn't resolve the issue for me.  I see that the P35 Neo2 has a 1.8 BIOS that has a comment that specifically says:  "- Fixed system cannot resume from S3 with CPU E8400.":
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1261
    Can anyone confirm if the P35D3 has the same issue as the P35 Neo 2?  If so, is there a BIOS available with a fix?
    Here are the complete system specs:
    https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishlist/PublicWishDetail.asp?WishListNumber=9131948&WishListTitle=New+System

    On the few times I have accidently put the computer to sleep; instead of lockdown; the only way I have gotten the computer to come back up is to hit the power button. So you might want to try hitting the power button and see if it wakes up.
    I've tested using the power button on the case, the keyboard and the mouse to wake the system.  The wake source doesn't seem to make any difference.
    Quote from: Psylocke on 31-May-08, 20:26:09
    When I have done that it takes a few minutes for it to completely wake up using vista; but it does end up waking up to what ever screens I had up and running when I put it to sleep.
    I've never waited more than 3 minutes to see if the system would eventually resume.  If it doesn't wake quickly then there isn't much point of using the sleep/standby mode anyway.
