IMac fails to wake from sleep

This is an ongoing problem that has been addressed by Apple Care and a Mac Shop. The hard drive, Logic Board, Ram, and Super Drive have all been replaced.
The Console gives a repeating message of:
8/26/08 8:43:07 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.nis.ypbind) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
8/26/08 8:43:17 AM com.apple.nis.ypbind[573] Domainname not set. Aborting.
8/26/08 8:43:17 AM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.nis.ypbind[573]) Exited with exit code: 1
Does anyone have a clue?
Thanks!

An update:
The iMac just froze while the screensaver (album in iPhoto) was running. I had to force a shut-down with the power button.
Here is the Console message:

Macbook occasionally fails to wake from sleep

i have a new macbook (purchsed in july) which occasionally (every 1-2 weeks) fails to wake from sleep. it either hangs on the blue screen which first comes up when you switch it on, or on the black screen which normally follows shortly afterwards.
i regularly use it "closed", i.e., with an external screen and keyboard, but the problem seems also to happen occasionally when i switch it on without these peripherals.
any ideas?
i've also had dvd player crash once. it was in full screen mode, and i couldn't switch to any other applications or force quit dvd player, so again i had to cut power.
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Having similar issues...not that it happens everyday ...it's very infrequent..but yeah im in the same boat..
As far as the computer being hot...
Go to :
System Preference--->Energy Savings
From there you should have the boxed check both on Battery power and AC Cord to put the Hard drive to sleep when possible..
Once i did this it never happened again(the closing of the lid and still running)
as far as the other issue??Help.!!Anyone?

MacPro6,1 - Failing to wake from 'sleep'

I have a MacPro6,1 which keeps failing to wake from 'sleep' is there a solution to stop this or is it a fault? considering I've only had it a few months i'm not impressed!

Open the Console app and see if you can find log errors at the time you try to wake the Mac.

T410 fails to wake from sleep with 2nd Hard drive installed?

Ever since I've installed a second hard drive in my T410, a Hitachi 250GB drive, my machine fails to wake from sleep (sometimes)... Then I have to do a hard reset.
I had the same problem without the 2nd drive when I tried to use the HD Password in the BIOS and found out that it was something to do with the Crucial M4 drive I'm using. But this same problem is now happening ever since using the 2nd drive slot.
Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and don't want to remove it based on this problem.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well it seems the problem was caused by the firmware version for the SSD I've installed.
The problem was resolved by updating the Crucial M4 SSD with the latest firmware.....
......and It solved the HD1 password issue too.

Mac Pro Failed to wake from sleep

Hello All,
I've had my Mac Pro since Aug. 2007. Never had any problems of any kind until this morning.
To wake from sleep (as I always do): depressed arrow key (10:43 AM). There was a delay - then the spinning beach ball for about 2 min. I did a hard shutdown, waited a bit, then restarted at 10:52 AM. Boot up was (as always) quick.
I logged into my (usual) non-admin account and observed:
When all start up items were loaded: Finder windows appeared approximately as follows:
1. A window showing the (not sure of proper term) "internal folders" of main boot up volume.
2. A window showing the internal folders stored on my mirrored RAID back up disk(s)
3. A window showing the internal folders of my bootable back up.
4. A window showing all 3 disk icons[ Main boot, Bootable backup and the RAID].
I closed all of these windows. [Didn't think too much about it but it's not normal to have these widows appear] SO -
Next:
Then I logged out and logged into my admin account to check the system log with console.
It showed an event from last night which I could not interpret but it did not appear to reveal serious problems (something about not being able to make network connection).
But - the second item on the System Log showed the "wake from sleep" sequence (at 10:43 AM).
I'm going to post the entire wake from sleep log below but first I'll state what was obvious to me:
Startup of CPU #1, #2 and #3 appear first - there is NO #4 CPU!
The log for the manual startup at 10:52 showed some apparent problems as I note below.
Next: Once logged in as admin - I launched Activity Monitor just to assure myself that all four CPUs were at least registering - and they were / are.
Hoping someone here can more thoroughly analyze this log report and give me an idea of the cause of the failure to waken.
Naturally, I won't want to put the Mac Pro to sleep again until I'm sure this isn't a "permanent" problem requiring further action (including service, of course).
Also noticed a statement about some app not having correct permissions (apparently at the System level) and something about removing several orphaned files. There's a warning about CarbonCopyCloner scheduled tasks as well. But there my understanding ends.
Thanks in advance:

Hello Alexandre,
First - thank you very much for taking time to offer thorough and informed advice.
However - as indicated in my last post, I have performed the first (and very basic) "test" - I checked to see if Xgrid was included in my network prefs and found that it was. I unchecked it because I don't have the setup to make use of processor resources on the other Mac I have in my home network. (And that other Mac is an old G4 eMac - not much help anyway!)
More specifically: it's apparent that I was using Xgrid "inappropriately" so I think the System Log really indicates that no connection can be found -because there isn't one!
I too still wonder about the "missing CPU 4" but, overall, I see no other indications that there's a problem. Activity Monitor shows all four CPU cores and they're all showing activity. I have not seen (or noticed) this in prior System Log reports so, if I see this again - I'll renew efforts to find it's significance and take appropriate action.
I then put my Mac Pro to sleep, waited a bit, then depressed an arrow key: the machine woke from sleep normally. This "solves" the immediate problem of abnormal wakening - at least I'm satisfied that it does and will continue monitoring for any similar "misbehaviors."
Power Management: I have purposely avoided doing anything with Power Management once I had it set to my liking. That is, I set the screen to sleep in 1 hour, I set the hard drive to "never" (sleep) and only use the Sleep menu command to put the Mac Pro to sleep. My dictum is to "not fix what isn't proved to be broken." Again - if I continue to have problems or new problems crop up, I will then go ahead and start making changes such as those you mention. (Like deleting com.apple.PowerManagemetn.plist)
Next: I did already run permissions repair and may do so again anytime I see problems which could be connected to permissions. Since I have "taken Xgrid" out of the picture, I don't think this particular permissions issue is going to be a problem under my current set up.
CarbonCopyCloner: Here we have a bit of a conundrum. I need! to keep CCC "available" to run scheduled back up tasks. I was given (a very expensive) 1TB wireless backup drive for Xmas and - through long trial and error - found that CCC is the most appropriate back up application for that drive.
For now: I consider that the problem is a bug in CCC and will contact Mr. Bombich about this.
Again: I do appreciate your pointing out this and the other things. You have helped me think through what could have been a very complex process in trouble shooting.
I think that my issue turned out to be simple: I may have accidentally touched the wrong key or key combination when I moved to wake the Mac Pro from sleep. I think that Xgrid was a problem but that now seems to be eliminated. The Mac Pro is now waking normally - which was my original objective.
Oh, and just to be clear: I forgot to mention above that I did re-examine the System Log and there are now no signs of the items in the log I posted originally here.

IMac will not wake from sleep after 10.4.8 Update

Recently after a couple of software updates my IMac goes to sleep and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not wake it. The option for wake with Bluetooth is checked. I zapped the PRAM and also checked the HD, Nothing has changed. NOTE: No new software or hardware installs were done except for 10.4.8 update and the other mac software updates. This did not happen in prior versions of the OS on my iMac. Is this a new bug?
iMac G5 1.8 (pre iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Bluetooth, Wake from Sleep

I've been dealing with this same issue, have tried everything, but to no avail. After MANY sessions on the phone with Apple tech support, as well as an Apple product specialist, I was advised to erase my computer and do a fresh install. I did an archive an install, which didn't help, but am not thrilled about the prospect of erasing everything and starting over. This problem started after the August 2006 round of updates. I feel it's bluetooth related, because I used a usb keyboard and mouse for a week as a test, with no problem. The funny thing is, I unchecked "allow bluetooth device to wake computer" thinking it might help, but the bluetooth devices continue to wake the computer anyway (except when it refuses to wake, of course!)

IMac won't wake from sleep since Lion!

Since installing Lion my iMac (intel core 2Duo) won't wake from sleep properly using my wireless keyboard, trackpad or magic mouse! I haven't changed any settings and I have to hold down the power button to force shut down and then restart! Any help?? x

Hi all
Finally went to the Genius Bar to ask the question as nothing has worked. They said I needed to reset my PRAM. I did it (Following these instructions... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 ) and it worked.
So relieved....it was really annoying me.
Hope this helps others with the same issue.
Thanks

HT1338 Imac won't wake from sleep when a facetime call comes in

My Imac will not awake from sleep when a FaceTime call comes in.

I've had this problem several times now, and I do no own MobileMe. I don't use any bluetooth peripherals, but I've noticed that the precursor to the problem is that my bluetooth icon in the menubar goes from normal to "Bluetooth Unavailable." Then at some point later on, I put the iMac to sleep and it won't wake up.
I've read elsewhere that the bluetooth unavailable problem may be connected to the power management unit, which may in turn explain what is going on with it not rebooting. But I'm not sure.

White iMac don't wake from sleep

Hi,
I have a white iMac 17" that is working very well, except for one thing: if it falls on sleep mode, sometimes it won't wake up.
This computer had a Lion fresh install a few month ago, so I do not think it is a software issue. It looks like something hardware that makes it not wake from sleep.
any idea what's wrong and how to repair this?
Thanks

10.7.3 did not cause your problem. Log into another account on your computer and see if the problem is replicated. If you don't have a second user account then create one. If the problem isn't replicated then you have a software problem that you need to track down in your normal user account.

Computer won't start & fails to wake from sleep

First post -- I have a 2009 HP Pavilion Elite w/Windows7. Good box & OS, never a problem until now. Started about a month ago w/the box not waking up from "sleep" -- no response (power light turned from amber to blue as usual but nothing else happens). Had to turn it off, but then won't come back on! After 10-15 minutes of repeated power-on button presses, it starts back up. Removing/reinserting the power cord during trys doesn't help. Occasionally it starts right up from sleep, but usually has this problem. Windows7 is up-to-date and no viruses or malware detected. HP or Microsoft diagnostics show no issues.
I opened the box to clean out dust -- also took off the CPU heatsink (really dusty) & cleaned it too. Fans rotate easily & aren't an issue.
So now I have "sleep mode" turned off, but occasionly the box has to be turned off & afraid it won't come back on. I've seen some of the HP videos & will try shorting the two start-up pegs on the MBoard, but the power-switch was hardly ever used & I seriously doubt that's the problem -- it wouldn't have anything to do w/the sleep-wakeup problem. Any suggestions?

IMac occasionally fails to wake from sleep mode

This is a transient problem. Happens every 2-3 days that computer fails to wake up from sleep mode. Space bar doesn't do anything and I finally have to unplug it and reboot. I have a late 2008 iMac and am running Lion. It has started doing this after I installed Lion but doesn't seem to be related.

It's tough to troubleshoot intermittent problems. You can try by restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt.

MacBookPro running 10.8.5 fails to wake from sleep or kp???

Folks:
I installed ML 10.8.5 a couple weeks ago in a separate partition from SL 10.6.8, and more or less things have been OK. Today, however I'm wondering if 10.8.5 has a "Rip van Winkle" type "glitch" that causes problems with the unit waking from sleep? Or perhaps there is something else causing a "crash"? On two different occasions today when I tried to use the computer after it had been asleep for awhile the unit would not respond. I would then tap on the space bar or click the mouse and nothing would happen. Checking the power light showed the computer was "on." Each time I had to hit the power button, the first time just tapping the power button revived and launched the desktop; the second time I had to hold the power button for perhaps 30 to 45 seconds before the computer light went off, and then launched the desktop . . . showing a faded desktop picture with the row of white dots across the bottom as when re-launching from a battery recalibration . . . . That made me think there had been a "glitch" or kernel episode . . . . I checked the Console log, the 5:30pm times are the second time this issue happened, checking the sleep indicator light before reviving to write this post the sleep/power light was not "breathing" but was steady. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks.

Well, the problem seemed to grow, as it moved over and infected my 10.6.8 partition, which led me to think about possible hardware issue; so I spent the night wondering what the heck I had done to create the problem. There are a number of possible scenarios when setting up "dual boot" situation . . . but, then I remembered that I have been trying to get an rEFInd CD to boot up so that I could test it out . . . and it hasn't been working; holding the C key down just got me to a black screen with a flashing prompt. I considered that that might have "re-set" something, so this morning I booted a known good Linux Mint DVD . . . using the C key . . . and I launched FF and it was fine, and then I "suspended" the system . . . and the "breathing" sleep light came on--so I figured it wasn't a hardware issue. So, I restarted into ML . . . earlier this morning had the same "revive from drained battery line of white lights" . . . but after booting the LM disk held the option key, selected ML . . . seems to boot more slowly than SL, but it gave me a desktop . . . and I put it to sleep . . . a few minutes later, clicked the mouse and I'm posting this now. So, as usual, "pilot error" was involved, it's just for the pilot, when the error happens is the question . . . . I re-traced my steps and tried to find the logical problem . . . seems to have worked.
Thanks for the interest . . . I'll post back if the problem re-appears.

10.8.5 iMac Won't wake from sleep/screen saver with require password set

I have several iMacs 2009/2010/2011 that are set to require a password when waking from sleep just this week all of them started freezing when this happened and will not start back up if restarted - they go pasgt the Apple Logo w Spinning gear to the Apple Log & Mouse icon - but don't make it to the login screen
The only way to get past it is to safe boot and delete the loginwindow.plists and loginitem.plists - and in one case go in in target mode and delete it
They are all up to date - the last updates I did were the 10.8.5 Supplemental Last week - and ARD Client 3.7.1 - Monday.
None of them have done again this since I deleted the plists
Has anyone else run into this? If so does anyone know if it is related to the updates or do I need to keep digging?
Thanks
Robbie G

I am having this problem still, even after updating with the latest combo. I find that my Macbook Pro (using 10.8.5) will show the beach ball spinning with a black screen. I have to restart the laptop in order to clear this problem. Very annoying since this can happen two or three times a day.
You mention 'plists'. What are they? And if you delete them, are they recreated automatically upon restart?
