Energy Saver still crashing MacBook Pro AFTER 10.9.4 update...

It's simple.
Display Sleep and Computer Sleep turned off = no crashes.
Computer Sleep turned on = crashes.
Anyone else still experiencing this?

I have been looking at the console since the crashes started. I recently repartitioned and reinstalled everything from the ground up. It was solid for awhile, but started crashing soon after. To be clear (which my title wasn't completely), the crashes started with 10.9.3. Anyway, here's the first part of the last crash...

  • Distorted blocks of random color on macbook pro after 10.5.2 update

    My macbook pro is going crazy after the 10.5.2 & graphic drivers update. This is the second time I have received large blocks of color completely filling both the macbook pro lcd and the samsung external monitor. Has never happened before on 10.5 or 10.5.1. While the screens are filled with garbage I can vaguely see outlines of programs etc.
    I am a recent mac user, having purchased the laptop in late september 2007. Any ideas about what I can do to troubleshoot? Console shows no errors logs. When the system crashes, everything is still running and I can hear music playing but I cannot navigate my way to save all open work and have to power off.
    Aside from that, sometimes when I wake the machine and open the lid it never wakes up and I have to power off. And sometimes when I reboot, it never reboots and sits on the final screen after everything has disppeared.
    Any ideas?

    Disconnect all peripherals from the computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    Once you reach the desktop, repair permissions.

  • 09 macbook pro, after 10.6.6 update won't wake from sleep without power

    Hey, weird thing going on here. After I updated to 10.6.6 on my '09 Macbook Pro it won't wake from having the lid closed unless the power is plugged in. I've tried closing the lid with the power still plugged in, and unplugging it before I close the lid. If I leave he power plugged in it works fine. If I unplug it after I've closed the lid, or even BEFORE I close the lid (and give it time to calculate battery life and everything) it turns off like it was a out of battery and I have to hold the power button down to make it wake, then it does the blurred out screen with the progress bar at the bottom (like recovering from low battery), but eventually comes back. The battery indicator on the bottom shows it has a nearly full battery when this is happening. I've tried adjusting sleep and power/energy saving settings but nothing has fixed it.... anyone got some ideas? It never did this before the 10.6.6 update
    Thanks!

    Im having the same issue.
    Seems to have happened just after 10.6.6 upgrade
    Battery only has 80 cycles on it and shows full charge
    i dont get the hybernate wakeup screen, but shuts down promptly after unplugged, and wont startup without power.
    Tried:
    *SMC RESET-holding power without battery in for over 5 seconds...no change
    *P RAM RESET-holding commandoption+pr during startup... no change
    *Installed applejack and ran all options... worked... for about 20 minutes then shutdown
    *Changed sleep settings...battery settings...hibernating settings...
    im outta ideas....

  • Canon camera no longer connects to Macbook Pro after 10.4.7 update

    Has anybody gotten word from Apple on this issue yet? My Rebel XT/350D stopped connecting to my MBP after the latest software update. It has stopped working with iPhoto, Image Capture and Capture ONE. If I put the CF card in a USB reader, it is recognized (occasionally) as a removable disk.
    What gives?

    CZ:
    Did you update the system via the Software Update? If so then download the 10.4.7 COMBO updater and run it. There are some files it's reported, that are left off the incremental updater and the combo one will fix some of the problems that causes. Not sure your problem is one of them but it's work a try. Don't forget to repair disk permissions afterward.
    Do you Twango?

  • Error message " The serial number you entered is valid, but a qualifying product annoy be found on this computer" appears. Unable to reinstall CS5.5 on my macbook pro after Hard disk crashed & was replaced.

    Error msg " The serial no you entered is valid,but a qualifying product cannot be found on this computer" appears. Can't reinstall CS5.5 onto Macbook pro after Hard disc crashed & was changed.

    It is not clear if you understand what that message is indicating.  It is telling you that you need to identify the older version of whatever CS5.5 upgrade you are installing to prove that you qualify for the upgrade.  This could be CS5, CS4, etc.

    I recently upgraded to a macbook pro after my old pc laptop crashed, is there a way to ensure that I can get all the songs off my iPhone when I sync?

    There's some third party applications available. The following article is pretty old (2008) so it would be best to reality-check the capabilities and availability of the various listed items prior to opting for a particular product:

  • Macbook Pro after attempt to update to Mavericks will not start-up - it will not go into recovery - reset SMC - reset NVRAM, still grey screen, logo and spinny thing

    Updated my Macbook Pro with Snow leopard, then updated that to 10.6.8, then downloaded and began installing mavericks.
    Mavericks apparently installed? I looked away and when I looked back my computer was off!  It has not worked since.
    I tried safe mode - where you could see progress and a repatitive error message scrolled (very fast) firever down the screen.  Nothing seemed to be futher going to happen so I turned it off again.  All other discussion forums I have followed say try time-machine back-up (I do not have it).
    Really, I am wondering, what an earth is going on?

    If there's any way to read that screen message it probably explains the problem.
    You might try to boot into "verbose mode" to see if that makes it any easier to see the message.

  • I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.

    I am having Macbook Pro, I have recently tried updating my operating system to OS Yosemite, but after that its giving problem in connecting to Wifi. The error is "Connection Time out Occurred". Its getting connected by Ethernet cable.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

  • Blank gray screen on my macbook pro after rebooting!

    After rebooting my macbook pro, after choosing english as the language, a blank gray screen appears and then again goes back to the choose language menu. what should I do?

    Shut down your computer and disconnect all peripherals (keyboard & mouse if pertinent) from your computer.  Now reboot.
    If the Mac starts up normally, shut it down again and then plug in one of the peripherals (keyboard or mouse first) and start up your computer again.  If it does so successfully repeat the process, adding one peripheral at a time until your Mac acts up.  At that point, disconnect the last peripheral you added, reboot your Mac and search the peripheral vendor's website for an updated driver. 
    If no driver exists or the problem remain after installing the new driver, try a different cable or a different port on your Mac.
    If none of the above works, again disconnect all peripherals from your Mac, hold down the "shift" key to start up in "Safe Boot" mode. 
    If the Mac starts up correctly, restart without pressing the "shift" key.
    If your computer still does not start up properly, shut it down and restart it while holding down the Apple+Option-P-R keys; keep holding "all 4 keys" down until you hear the startup sound "twice."
    If none of the above work Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    (If Disk Utility cannot repair, you will need a stronger utility (3rd party) - Diskwarrior or Techtool PRO)
    Restart your computer when done.
    Repair permissions after you reach the desktop-http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
    Remove any 3rd party ram.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard - This will install a "fresh" copy of Snow Leopard without archiving old system files but leaves the rest of your files in place.
    If your computer is still under warranty or you have Apple Care, take full advantage of it by letting tech support deal with your problems.  It's what you're paying them for.
    Out of warranty - take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.
    Mac OS X (10.6.7)
    Have you considered updating to 10.6.8?

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • Can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

    can i return my macbook pro after 5 months

    If you bought it direct from Apple, you have 14 days to return it for a full refund or toward the purchase of a different model.
    After that time, if it is broken it can be repaired. If it does not suit your needs and cannot be upgraded to suit your needs, you recourse is to convert it to CASH by selling it, and apply the cash toward a computer that better suits your needs.

  • I upgraded my iTunes to 10.7 on my MacBook Pro - after that iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S 6.0.1 (10A523) in the iTunes sidebar. Solutions?

    I upgraded my iTunes to 10.7 on my MacBook Pro - after that iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone 4S 6.0.1 (10A523) in the iTunes sidebar. Solutions?
    (Both upgrades to the phone and lap-top were done based on Apples suggestion, so I find it strange it doesn't work automatically, which should be a basic reason for choosing Apples costly products!)

    Try rebooting your computer.
    You might also try downloading and installing iTunes 11 which came out today.
