Cannot wake up from sleep after updating to Windows 8.1 - version T540p

Hello,
I updated to Windows 8.1 on my ThinkPad T540p. Now if the laptop goes to sleep mode the laptop display does not wake up again. I have 2 extra dislpays connected to my computer through a dock. They work fine even though the display on the laptop does not show anything. If I restart the computer all 3 displays work fine. Can you please help me solve this.
Greetings

Hi Sjonasson,
We are very sorry to hear that the issue still persists, can you verify if the issue still persists when you disconnect the Laptop from docking station and connect any one of the external monitor and check it the sleep option is working.
And regarding the drivers update please try with manually updating the drivers from the following steps.
Download the graphics driver ZIP file.
Unzip the file to a designated location or folder.
Click Start.
Right-click Computer > Manage. When prompted for permission from User Account Control, click Yes.
Select Device Manager from the navigation tab on the left.
Double-click Display Adapters.
Right-click the Intel® Graphics Controller and click Update Driver Software.
Click Browse my computer for driver software.
Click Browse and select the directory where the driver files are located.
Click Next. Drivers are now being installed.
Reboot computer when prompted.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

My MacPro will not wake up from sleep after the 10.8.2 upgrade.

Since latest os upgrade to 10.8.2, my mac will not wake up from sleep.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

My iMac will not wake up from sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading to OS X, my iMac will not wake up from sleep. Each time I have to do a hard restart. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking. It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

It won't wake up from sleep after I open it. If I close it and then open it, it doesn't wake up for at least 5 minutes.

just upgrade my macbook air to yosemite. now when i physically close the computer and open it back up, it won't wake up from sleep mode. I tried pressing the power button, but it wouldnt turn on. Then once it somehow turned on by itself, I tried a PRAM and SMC reset. Then I tried closing and opening the computer again and I still had the same problem. nothing has worked. when i do get the computer on, i randomly goes into sleep mode again. I've check the settings for display and it says after 45 minutes of nothing it will sleep.

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
Step 5
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Mac Pro 8 Core will not wake up from sleep after install of 10.6

I am so bummed that my computer will not sleep after installing the 10.6 OS. Every time I put the machine to sleep, that works, but when I tap a key to wake the machine, it restarts. I tried resetting the SMC by unplugging everything and restarting but that did not work. I have 8GB of RAM and the machine is set up for photography (Huey color calibrator (using USB), Wacom Intuos 4 Graphics Tablet (using USB)... Could it be all of these device drivers? Help!

V560 cannot wake up from sleep/standby

hi all,
My V560 is not waking up after entering sleep/stand by mode automatically. screen remains black. usb is not working. hdd indicator light is on.
i have to press power button long till force it to power off. i am using win 7 enterprise 32bit.

hey azad,
place your unit on diagnostic mode via msconfig. restart your unit, login and do not launch any program.
if you have set your unit to go into sleep/standby after a period of time; let it do so.
once it is in sleep/standby , leave if for about 5 mins before "waking" it up.
can it wake up ? if yes, then it is a program you launch or a non-windows item that is launch in the background during startup that is causing the error.
if possible, go to >>http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=607595
and update your unit accordingly.

MacbookPro will not wake up from sleep after memory upgrade

I am restarting this topic as I have read thread after thread (many years old) and they all just die off with out any definite solution.
I have a 13" Mid 2010 Mac book Pro which originally came with 250gb HDD and 4gb memory
I have recently upgraded to a 256 SSD and a 1TB HDD optidrive replacement along with a 8GB memory upgrade and I am now running Lion 10.7.4
If I close the lid and open within approximately 1 minute it will wake up quickly as normal, if I leave it asleep for a minute or 2 it will not wake up with out holding the power button for several seconds and then I still need to wait a several seconds for it to respond and actually wake up. Sometimes I will need to completely shut down and restart. If I wanted a computer that takes forever to wake up I would have a PC!
The last thing I upgraded was the memory so I am sure it is the cause of the sleep problem and not the SSD conversion which was working fine with the original 4GB mem before upgrade.
I have read about resting the PRAM, resetting PMC as well as executing a line in the terminal, but all of these seem to have variable success. I have tried every thing but using the terminal to adjust the hibernate mode setting as I am not proficient with terminal and don't actually understand what changing this setting does (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 7).
Has anyone resolved this sleep problem and what did you do? I would greatly appreciate some knowledgeable insight on the hibernation settings, and what running the line in the terminal is actually doing... even better what is the default so I can change it back if it doesn't resolve the problem.
A simple memory upgrade causing such a issues is very irritating.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

Wakes up from sleep with flashing/vertical lines

Hi,
I have a macbook pro mid 2012 mode, when ever my laptop wakes up from sleep after a longer duration then the screen flicker and vertical color lines appear.
The problem goes away once I reboot, also the problem doesnt appear in case I dont let the mac sleep. I have tried PRAM reset and changing my display resolutions, but both have not helped. The mac is just under two years old and I have already replaced the SATA cable, hardrive and now this issue?
Regards,
Rohit

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

After update to 10.7.1, Wifi retrieved after wake up from sleep?

Anyone who had "no wifi after wake up from sleep @ MBA 2011 " issue before, is this fixed after 10.7.1 update installed? Any tester please drop your comment.

In another Mac forum saying that after the 10.7.1 update, need to reset the PRAM to get this issue solved.

After 10.9.3 update monitor doesn't wake up from sleep

I have an LCD connected to the Mac Mini via a mini-DP to DVI adapter and a video projector is connected directly at the HDMI.
The LCD is the "main" screen while the projector is only switched on for watching TV or movies.
My "Computer sleep" is set to "never" and "display sleep" to 15min.
All was working well until I updated to 10.9.3 ...
Now, when the LCD goes to sleep (projector is powered off) it doesn't wake up any more.
The computer is running and it is responding to my key-presses etc. but the monitor remains in a coma.
Powering the monitor off and on again resolves the issue, e.g. the display shows correctly.
This is however only a temporary fix as it refuses to wake up upon the next sleep...
The monitor itself is fine, it works on other systems flawlessly, e.g. on an older Mini.
Any ideas?
I have already force-fed it with the combo-udate but that didn't help.

My iphone 3GS does the same thing, not only does it suddenly fail to wake up from sleep. It just crashes and I have to do a hard reset. Today it just turned off when the ipod was playing I was a mile away from it and it was in airplane mode as well. I have restored from backup once and would dearly love to have it downgraded but that doesn't seem to be much of an option. My phone ran like a dream before the upgrade....now I hate to say it but its completely unreliable.
With so many people experiencing the same problem it makes me wonder why there isn't a fix.

TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
Long shot but...
I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
Resolution
Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
Additional Information
This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

Windows 10 updated now HP Pavilion won't wake up from sleep

Since I upgraded to W10 this week, my laptop now will not wake up from sleep. I've searched around on the net and so far can only find people having problems putting their laptop to sleep. I did follow the advice from one of those on the HP forum, to upgrade a driver, which I figured couldn't hurt. It made no difference though. When I come to wake my computer up, which always was by just lifting the lid, now nothing. The power light will glow solid and the wifi light glows orange (as opposed to its usual white solid when machine is running). Other than that, noting. No button pressing or screen tapping of any kind will bring it to life and the only solution is to press and hold the power button to force full shutdown and start again. May be only 3 days into it but it's already driving me mad. Any suggestions welcome!ThanksJulie

Hmmm... I'm on the fence on that one as the software update is Microsoft's so the logical consumer in me says that it shouldn't be HP's responsibility to create the fix. I understand your frustration but from the legal perspective under the UK consumer law, I think HP may well be within their rights to deflect the liability to Microsoft - but that's a terrible example of customer service, after all you've got an HP machine...... BUT (devil's advocate here) HP haven't released the software update or prompted consumers to install it.... so from their point of view, they can probably quite rightly and fairly bury their heads in the sand. The warranty you will have for your machine probably will exclude software issues for anything other than factory installation or possibly HP's own updates. (that's me speaking as a former Trading Standards Officer, so not without a bit of knowledge on the matter...)
That said.............. I did follow the fix that was posted earlier and so far it's looking good. I've left my machine for over 2 hours and it sprung back into life every time today since I followed the BIOS update suggested.
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad response from HP "Customer Service" but nothing to stop you complaining about that..!! I'm a great fan of going straight to the top and Andy appears to be the current MD for HP. Whether or not they accept responsibilty for the issues we're all having, they still should be offering a higher standard of response and customer service than that - whoever's "fault" the problems are, they're certainly not the consumer's.

Output volume at maximum after wake-up from sleep

Hi,
I very often find my sound output volume at maximum level after my MacPro (10.6.2) wakes up from sleep. And I always have it set at about 20%. An unexpected 100% is overwhelming loud... I have no idea how to solve it. Anyone with a possible solution?
Mr. Pen

I use a little Preference Pane called Startup Sound which lets you set a default startup chime level. It hasn't been updated for ages, nor tested on 10.6, but it seems to work fine. You could give it a quick test to see if it helps.

Application launches fail after wake up from sleep when switching from one open directory to another

I take my MacBook Pro back and forth from home to work. Open Directory is set up at both locations running on Snow Leopard server. These two locations are entirely separate domains and IP networks. The only thing that is the same is my username and password, which is the same in both locations.
If I put my machine to sleep in one location and move to the other location and wake it up, I can usually launch one application, then no other applications launch and the machine is pretty much frozen up except for mouse cursor movement. Using command-shift-escape and relaunching the finder doesn't help.
It is as if the launch daemon has been made inoperative. Apps just sit and bounce.
Should one be able to log in one one network with open directory. Close all applications, move to an entirely different network, and wake up from sleep and continue working? The login/password is identical on both open directory setups.
Both home and work are set up so the users can "travel" and the machines are not "bound" to the open directory server.
I've started using the "other" login box to login in which I think keeps the machine more independent of open directory and that seems to work better for moving between networks.
Any ideas and/or comment welcome.
(my DNS seems fine in both environments. running changeip gets "success" in both places)

After reading another post that popped up under "More Like This" after I posted this I may have found at least a temporary fix. Unplugging and reseating the MDP adapter in the MacPro didn't accomplish anything but unplugging/reseating the HDMI plug in the Viewsonic brought it back to life.
I guess I can live with this but it would be nice knowing that there's a more permanent fix for this.
