Difficulty waking from sleep

I've read on the forums people having problems waking their MacBooks from sleep, but I haven't heard any stories quite like mine:
I put my MacBook to sleep by closing the lid. It goes to sleep because the light on the front pulses as it should. When I come back and wake it by opening the lid, I get the password dialog (I set this because I'm paranoid), I enter it successfully but I just get a black screen with a working mouse pointer.
I discovered I can "fix" this by closing the lid again, waiting a few seconds (presumably enough to let it sleep again), then re-open the lid, re-enter my password, and then it finally awakens properly. The second time around, it sounds like the SuperDrive is waking up because there's a definite mechanical noise.
While this is workable, obviously it's annoying. Has anyone else experienced this, and/or found a better solution?

If you use a screeen saver, even if not, try changing the screen saver that is set for use.

Blotchy image in Lightroom and Photoshop/difficulty waking from sleep

I am suddenly having problems with my 15" 2.4ghz MacBook Pro. There are two problems actually, the first is that I am not looking at gradient colours when I open an image in Photoshop or view it in Lightroom. The image looks blotchy, almost as if I had set my monitor to 256 colours, when in fact my monitor setting is 1440 x 900 at MILLIONS of colours. I don't have this problem with every image, only those I'm viewing in Lightroom and Photoshop.
The second problem is in waking my Mac from sleep, sometimes it just won't wake up and I have to do a forced shutdown and then re-start.
Does anyone know a fix for either problem?

*A few suggestions:*
Change the energy saving options, to put the display to sleep and the computer to sleep at the same time.
Enable (check mark) put the hard disk to sleep when possible.
Lock the padlock.
Optional: Repair permissions &/or restart.
==============
Check your Energy Saver settings to make sure they are correct.

New MBP BUG!!!!!? mag safe and waking from sleep..............

I have found that if you are running on battery power, and then put the computer to sleep, that if you plug in the mag safe power whilst the computer is asleepit will refuse to wake up and require restarting. Not a massive issue but i would be interested to see if anyone else is experiencing this small bug?

It is possible that the difficulty you are experiencing waking from sleep is related to the "safe sleep" feature. I, too, had some difficulty waking my MBP from sleep (though I didn't specifically notice any link between these difficulties and the power adapter). Since I disabled safe sleep, I have had no more problems waking from sleep.
Information about the safe sleep feature (which backs up open files and settings before your computer goes to sleep in case of a loss of power during sleep) is here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302477
More information about safe sleep is found on at least two discussion posts:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1546493&#1546493
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1136215&#1136215
Finally, to hit the key point of these two threads linked above, you can turn off safe sleep by opening Terminal and typing:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
I hope that helps!
Take care.

Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep. I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down. Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success. They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens. They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine. They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file? I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead. But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files. That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
So, 2 questions:
Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
Thanks so much!
Chris

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.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
Cheers,
James
nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

Waking from sleep only brings up blank screen with cursor

I have the MacBook Pro retina 11,3 (released October 2013). As the title suggests I am having issues with my Mac not giving me a log in screen when waking from sleep. It seems to happen when I don't close the clamshell and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up from that the result it s backlit black screen with a cursor. I can click, hit the keys on the keyboard but absolute nothing happens. I close the clamshell and open it but they screen seems to not turn they backight off and so reopening it still leaves me with the same screen. Usually the log in screen to type my password will reappear within 20-60 seconds after and I am able to type my password and everything works as normal.
This his problem has been around since Mavericks for me. I figured I would wait for Yosemite to see if it gets fixed but it still is an issue. This problem is persistent even after compleat reinstalls, even without transferring any data over to the new install.
I believe there is something to do with the discreet graphics card inside the MacBook Pro. I have a friend who also has the retina model of the same year with the graphics card and has the same issues. It is a Nvidia GT 750M.
Anyone know of a solution to this issues?

Quit All applications.
Hold the option key down and click "Go" menu in the menu bar.
Select Library.
Look for "Caches" folder, right click it and move it to trash.
Restart.

Start up and waking from sleep problems. early 2011 macbook pro i-7 2.0

Been having problems with my computer starting up and waking from sleep. If i shut the lid it wont wake up upon reopening the lid unless i hit the power button. After hitting the power button it will restart automatically and you hear the chime and the cdrom ejecting , once the gray screen pops up it restarts again this time you hear the cd rom making the ejecting sound twice then it will start up as normal. Once it finally starts up my date and time has been reset to jan 2008. Other times when i open the lid hit the power button it does nothing at all. Even holding the power button for multiple seconds to force shut down it does nothing. Only way to get it to start up at that power is if i connect the charging cable. I have tried reseting the smc multiple times with no results and pram(even though it doesnt have anything to do with start up problems just did it anyways). It all started i last time i updated not completely sure what all updates i got but im still running 10.7. It seems like a battery issue which would make sense since its nearly 3 years old and i use it extensivly. Last thing that just started recently after i go threw the whole mess of getting it to start up if i pick it up or nudge it the thing will just shut off out of no where. Almost like there is a short somewhere, cant really be sure if its linked with the waking up from sleep/start up problems but seems right up the same ally. Any suggestions to what could be wrong would be greatly apreciated. Im assuming my battery may be on its last leg but the thing still holds a charge and my battery life hasnt dimished at all so cant really be totally sure. Thanks agian

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. It may not fix the problem but it would be the first thing an Apple Store would do if you were to bring it to them with this complaint.
If bumping the Mac causes problems it's an intermittent internal connection that the SMC reset is not likely to help.
Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Is there any way to make this instant?

Hi
My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep. Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7. PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel. At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years. They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion. It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier. The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

Waking from sleep with no battery and no keyboard action

Hi there,
Since this unfortunate battery recall, I'm now running my PB with no battery (as recommended) i.e. just the power supply. I have my PB configured to prompt for a password when waking from sleep, which it does. However my keyboard does not appear to be responsive for several seconds.
Here are my steps:
1. Close the lid. PB goes to sleep.
2. Open the lid. PB wakes up and prompts me for my password.
The mouse cursor via the trackpad is responsive immediately. However attemping to type in the password field does not yield anything. The PB then automatically goes back to sleep. I can then wake it again with the keyboard and start typing.
The really weird thing is that with the battery installed, I do not have this keyboard issue i.e. my keyboard input is accepted immediately on the first wake up.
I have reset PRAM but to no avail. Any ideas? I'd rather not live with this behaviour while I'm waiting for my new battery.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi Chris,
You will be pleased to know your not the only one experiencing this issue. Like yourself I am now running my Powerbook without the battery and have noticed that when waking from sleep both my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for several seconds.
This also happened to my friends 867Mhz Powerbook when he was having battery problems. It would seem they just dont like being run without batteries installed.

IMac G5 no Bluetooth on waking from Sleep

I have an iMac G5 2 Ghz model with a wireless Mighty Mouse and Apple wireless keyboard and have recently been encountering a problem with the bluetooth connections to them on waking form sleep. Although I have searched and found threads detailing similar issues to mine, they have not been exactly the same hence my starting a new topic.
The iMac works perfectly and I can put it to sleep just fine. Later on I can tap a key or hit a mouse button and the machine wakes up. However from that point both the keyboard and mouse are unresponsive, I will get the screen pop-up message telling me that the keyboard and mouse are disconnected, the bluetooth icon in the menu bar is crossed out but the machine itself has not crashed, the clock continues to click up, I have an animated desktop background which continues to play and if I plug a standard USB mouse in, that works.
If I leave it alone (literally for five or ten minutes), then nine times out of ten, the mouse and keyboard will suddenly start working, disconnect again for a few seconds, reconnect and then work perfectly for the rest of the day as long as the iMac doesn't sleep. Sometimes the bluetooth system simply doesn't come back up even after twenty minutes or so and I am forced to hard reset the machine an reboot. From a restart, the system always works perfectly.
What I don't understand is if the bluetooth system is loosing connection when asleep, how comes a tap on the mouse will wake it up ok and then it disconnects?
So far I've reset the PRAM and Power Management systems, trashed the bluetooth preference files and restarted, and run a permissions check. These seem to make it better for a while but the problem comes back. It doesn't seem like a hardware problem in that it all works perfectly while kept awake but I'd be grateful if anyone has any suggestions as to what I can try next or look for.
Many thanks in advance.

OK obviously tempted fate by posting, the bluetooth problem has returned!
While awake both the keyboard and mouse connections are rock-solid, on startup, both connect instantly it's just waking from sleep that's the issue.
I had the problem just a few minutes ago, the Mac had been asleep for about 30 minutes, I tapped the mouse and it woke up, I could even move the mouse pointer around for a few seconds and then it suddenly froze. The Connection Lost message (for the mouse not the keyboard) appeared on the screen and the bluetooth icon in the menu bar changed to the 'no connection' sign. If I flip the mouse over the little green led doesn't come on.
After about ten seconds the bluetooth icon changed to normal and the mouse worked-for about two seconds then the whole cycle repeated. This happened three times, the mouse worked for a few seconds, the connection dropped and I had to wait about twenty seconds for it to come back to life on its' own. I tried the volume up and down on the BT keyboard but that wasn't working either. On the third time of dropping, the bluetooth assistant fired up telling me that there was no keyboard attached, just as the mouse resumed working on it's own. It searched for a keyboard, told me that it couldn't find one and then immediately told me that a keyboard was attached and no further action is required.
And from that point on both have worked perfectly. If it was just the mouse or the keyboard, I'd suspect that was the problem but I find it hard to credit that both would fail at the same time.
Well I'm now officially stumped. Surely it's inconceivable that a failing BT module would not work on waking but be perfect all the rest of the time?
Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received.

My mac pro restarts when waking from sleep

Hello everyone pls help me.
I have a annoying problem and that is that my Mac Pro restarts after it has been to sleep.
Last week I updated the system with an update from Apple, safteyupdate 2013-003 version 1.0.
I have swedish OsX 10.6.8.
After this update my mac always restarts after waking from sleep.
So what may have gone wrong?
Pls help me in a simple way, and pls describe in easy steps if I have to do something.

One suggestion is to always have cloned your system ahead of time, that means before making changes or updates, early on when it is fresh and working.
And don't just restart. Use Safe Mode at least, better yet use Recovery Mode if on Lion (which I do recommend) and have a small OS Emergency drive for any maintenance - along with a clone working copy of your system.
Don't just reinstall over your system. Do a fresh install on another drive. Image it and set that for maintenance, then clone that to be a new working base for your system.
Setup Assistant does an amazing job.
Forced restarts can corrupt the filesystem and directory as the changes in memory or cache are not written out and drives are not unmounted properly and will come to bite in the rear.

Since updating to Lion the iMac won't recognise the external hard drive (maxtor) when waking from sleep mode,

Hi All, Since updating to Lion, my imac won't recognise the ext HDD (Maxtor) when waking from sleep mode, I have tried another port, diisc utility (Ext HDD not listed in here) but nothing works. I now find that I have to restart the imac to get the drive recognised..which is fine until the imac goes into sleep mode then I lose the drive and have to restart etc etc.....anyone suffering same issue. The Ext Drive worked perfectly until the upgrade..

Thanks for this, and apologies for delay in replying...in between seeing your post I backed up the ext hdd to another mac and used the disc utility to erase and repair and then re mounted the ext hdd. OK. I have then tested the ext hdd being recognised when waking from sleep mode a few times and everything appears to be fine. If this doesn't work (long term) I will follow the instructions as you have suggested....
I now have a new problem with my HP printer (Photosmart Plus) which is not being recognised by a new wireless router..Ok whilst the router is switch on and I have reconfigured the printer..but when the router is switched off overnight and then switched back on...I get a 'printer is not connected' message and have to go through the re configure routine all over. I am minded to think this is a router problem as the same issue is happening to my wifes Mac Book Pro (which is only a few weeks old)...any suggestions..

External Hard Drive Fail After Waking from Sleep

Hi,
I've been having this issue for over a year (since upgrading to Lion, and now still persists after upgrading to Mountain Lion), and I haven't been able to find the exact answer I need after searching through the posts here, and on the internet.
I have a 2011 MBP, and after upgrading to Lion last year, I've noticed that my WD external hard drive for the Mac has issues to be recognized after the laptop wakes from sleep. The drive icons are still there on the desktop, and all the files are listed. However, I cannot open any of the files, and Time Machine backup automatically fails.I am able to eject the drives by dragging the icons into the trash can. However, nothing happens if I simply unplug the fire wire 800 cable and re-plug it into the computer after ejecting the drives. I need to reset the external drive by unplugging both the fire wire cable and the power supply, and replug everything.
Aside from being a hampering process after waking from sleep, this is also very stressful on the drive itself, so I would like to fix this. Does anyone know the issue behind this or have a solution? Thanks in advance!

IMac loses connection to network when waking from sleep

Hi There,
We are a small mixed environment of Macs and PCs running on a Windows 2008 domain. One of 2 iMacs that now run Mountain Lion 10.8.5 is having problems when waking from sleep. One of our designers will go for lunch and the machine will sleep for about 30 to 40 minutes. Upon her return the iMac will kick her off of the 3 shares she usually logs into (2 are on Win2008 machines, and 1 is a MacPro running 10.6.8 Server).
If she has files open in any of the Creative Suite Apps, the app will crash and she will have to restart the whole machine. If no files are open then she can usually reconnect to the shares after a short while. Obviously I told her not to leave any files open, but its causing her some headaches.
Its also creating srv errors (id 2012) on our domain controllers, when she tries to wake her machine.
This Imac is a late 2009, and we have a 2011 model that has no issues at all. Both are set exactly the same.
I have reset SMC, Pram, and rebinded to the domain, and searched through these forums quite a bit to no avail.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

I am continuing to work on this issue, and have tried a number of things based on searching here and elsewhere.
And Lucky Me, I have been able to replicate this behavior on one of other Macs (imac 2011, on 10.8.5). I also see errors on 2 separate Windows file servers on the domain (Event ID: srv 2012).
Below I am posting what seems to be the relevant area of the log.

This is from the 2011 iMac, and I see something very similar to this on the 2009 machine.
I continue to think this is a software issue related to 10.8.5 and Adobe CS (CS5 on the 2009 machine and CS 5.5 on the 2011) as this appears to have come up only since the recent update.
Any help would be appreciated.

Dark screen remains after waking from sleep mode

Whilst using Safari Version 3.1.2, Mac OS 10.4.11 on my Powerbook G4 (aluminum, 1.5 ghz), my screen remains dark upon waking from sleep mode. Trying to increase screen brightness is ineffectual for some reason likely related to this problem. My only workaround is to force shutdown and restart. Any ideas about a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary,
This behavior is not a Safari issue but system related.
Close all applications an run in utilities> disc repair permissions.
After you done reboot an see what happens when your Mac gets to sleep mode again. This time don't open any applications to test it. Just leave it showing your desktop.
Post back with the results ...
