You have a lovely intel machine, you lucky thing. However, this forum is for PPC G5 iMacs, you need to post on the [intel iMac forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1110].
Hope you find a solution,

My iMac wont wake up from sleep

My first gen iMac G5 1.8 20" wont wake up from sleep. Always I have to plug out and then in the power cord from the outlet then I can turn on the computer.
Any suggestion?
Or is this the Apple's known The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?

You could also try the following;
If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.

1 week old iMac wont wake up from sleep?

Hello all.
I have brought the 21,5" iMac 1 week ago. I just chosed the preconfigured model.

What shall i do? It have had the issues from the day i got it.
Thanks.

Are you running OS X 10.6.2 as indicated on your profile? The OS has been updated a few times since then, in fact OSX 10.6.5 was released last Wednesday. You can download the combo updater here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
It's often advised to 'repair permissions' before and after updating. Utilities>Disk Utility - select Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair permissions'.
I seem to remember that some sleep/wake issues were addressed in one of the earlier updates. The combo updater will have all previous updates/revisions incorporated into it.

Ibook wont wake up from sleep

Hi my fully charged ibook g4 wont wake up from sleep, I have tried keeping my finger on the power key but nothing happens, Is it dead or can anybody help? Thank You in advance
Ibook G4 14" Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If the battery is dead, it won't boot from the battery.
Have you connected the charger and tried to wake it?
If so, what happens when you try to wake it up?

MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE help

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions?

My new Ipad Air 128Gb occasionally wont wake up from sleep. A hard reset cures the problem

I have a new November 1st Ipad Air 128 Gb Wifi only Ipad Air and a kensington keyboard case. Three days after purchase it wouldn't wake up from sleep. The screen was blank and nothing would work. Ipad support suggested a hard reset which restored it. Since then in the 3 weeks I have had it I have had to do three full re-sets. My previous Ipad first generation didn't need a full reset in its three year life. I have the same apps as I had on the previous model and I have about 100 GB free. There seems to be others on the net with similar problems and someone mentioned that the latest IOS7 upgrade didn't cure the problem. What do you suggest?

I would suggest not using the keyboard with the new iPad for a week or so and see if the problem goes away. If it does, I would assume that the keyboard isn't playing nice with the new iPad for some reason.

MBP 10.6.4 wont wake up from sleep mode

My MBP is connected to an external monitor and i keep the lid slightly open to keep it running cool (last MB I had overheated and caused battery issues, so was advised to keep lid slightly open). It works fine until it goes to sleep mode, after which it wont wake up. This is annoying as I lose data on documents Im working on as I have to force it to restart.
Is there a solution to this ridiculous issue?

I came across these two useful links. The problem is not gone but is less frequent now.
http://www.wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jrobbins/archive/2009/11/16/fixing-a-nasty-wi ndows-7-mac-pro-sleep-and-hibernation-problem.aspx
http://www.troublefixers.com/macbook-does-not-hibernate-sleep-in-windows-7-insta lled-in-dual-boot-with-bootcamp/
John Robbin's solution of resetting PRAM/NVRAM addressed the problem but only temporarily in my case. The problem would recur in an hour.
Abhishek's blog address the opposite problem, but his solution of not having any programs in windows start up helps. I removed skype from the startup.
I also started using Parallels to bring up the bootcamp windows and that too provided a workaround.
Looking for a cleaner solution.

My MacBook pro wont wake up from sleep. The screen is blank at all times, but I can hear the fan for 5 sec then everything stops. Please help! I don't kno what to do.

My MacBook pro is about 3 yrs old. It is a 2008 model right before the new design came out. Recently I closed it up which puts it to sleep and a couple minutes later when I opened it up the screen stayed blank but could hear the fan running but then the power clicked like it was shutting down and I could hear nothing more. My power supply is working and I have already tried resetting it. Can anyone help me? I don't live exactly near a Mac store to get help.

Before resorting to an LB change-out, try this, as it has fixed many of the "silver-key" Macbook Pros with wake-from-sleep issues:
1) To get the computer running, do an SMC reset. Instructions here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Your MBP model uses the first option under the subhead, "Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)"
2) If you get it running, go to System Preferences > Network and select your Airport connection
3) In the result main pane, click the "Advanced..." button.
4) You should be looking at a window with multiple tabs at the top; the "Airport" tab (far left) should be active---if not, make it so.
5) There is a panel showing "Prefered Networks." Use the "minus" button below that window to eliminate any networks that you don't need to access on more than a weekly basis. I'm down to two: the home Airport Extreme Base Station and the network for a museum at which I volunteer once a week.
5) Click "OK" and close System Preferences.
Now try letting it sleep and see it if wakes up.
When this happened to my Late 2007 MBP, I used Console to read system.log and found that, on waking, the compuer was looking for the wireless network at a lodge where I'd stayed weeks earlier and miles away. Clear the morass of old networks and keeping the list short has completely cured my wake-from-sleep issues.
The steps I listed take less time to do than to read, and are within the ability even of novice Mac users.
If that doesn't work, you may need to seek professional help. If you take it to an Apple Store and they recommend a logic board replacement, ask about a "Depot Repair." Instead of replacing the logic board on-site (which will whack you to the tune of US$700-1100), they send the computer to a central Apple refurb facility that fixes whatever they find wrong for a flat fee of about US$315 (last time someone reported using the service here). Turnaround is about one working week, and people who have taken of this service have reported being very pleased with the outcome.

17 " Macbook Pro (Early 2011) wont wake up from sleep

Hi, super new to the forums and was hoping for a solution here.
When I leave my computer on while I'm asleep (playing iTunes) it wont wake up by pressing keys or the trackpad or pressing the power button. The computer is still responding to keys, I can hear the "blop-blop" of the volume buttons, it's just the display isn't turning back on nor is the little light flashing that it's asleep. I figured out if I close the lid then wait for the light to start slowly flashing, it'll wake up when I open it, but I don't want to do that for every time it falls asleep on me.
I called support and they had me hold SHIFTCTRLOPTION to do something, and that ended up not working. They also had me reinstall OS X 10.6.6 and it didn't fix the problem either. Is it time I brought it to the Apple store for an exchange/refund?
tl;dr
MBP falls asleep, wont wake up, called support, didn't fix it, should I exchange it or is there another way to potentially fix this?
Thanks for the help!

Hi. Dave from Avatron here. We've been testing on a new MBP and haven't been able to replicate the problem. However we do have a working theory about the cause.
Our theory is that Migration Assistant simply fails to invalidate the kernel extension cache when it should. The result is that when you migrate to a new machine with a different built-in display driver configuration, it can't wake from sleep. Or more precisely, it can't wake to Intel graphics if the last graphics adapter used was the Radeon one.
If we're right, then one of these steps should fix the problem:
1. Install a kext (for example, simply reinstall Air Display), OR
2. Uninstall a kext (this is why the problem went away when you uninstalled Air Display), OR
3. "Touch" the kernel extensions directory in Terminal, OR
4. Boot in Safe Mode.
Then reboot.
If you can't wake from sleep, please try one of these possible solutions, and let us all know how it goes.
Thanks!

PC wont wake up from sleep

MY HP wont wake up after its been asleep.
A few times while typing up a legal documents Ive had the following message ......." Your PC ran into a problem .This problem caused your pC to restart."
AND once I was half way through drafting up legal submissions in word and it said it had to restart to repair drive errors
and once when i tried to start it i got " the system BIOS is being recovered"
I think theres something majorly wrong with this Im on HP 500 PC series Model 500 - 007a its a desktop, can anyone offer me some advice
{Content Removed}

Hello!
Thank you for posting in HP support forums and thank you for your trust in HP.
I am sorry about the issue you experience.
I suspect your computer's hardware might be faulty.
I think you mean BSOD - blue screen of death or something like >this<
This is safety mechanism. By default when Windows encounters BSOD, it copies the memory to the so called memory dump files. They can be useful to analyze the issue.
Please, go to Control Panel -> System -> System Protection -> "Advanced" tab
Follow >these instructions< and configure the system to generate Kernel dump files.
Once ready, repeat the BSOD.
When you next start Windows, a file with this location
%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP
should have been generated. Usually this is C:\Windows\memory.dmp
When you are ready, please let me know and I will provide you a way to submit this file to me so that I analyze it and see what I can see from it, what the issue is.
Please, also test your HDD and RAM from BIOS:

Thank you! Let me know when you are ready
Please, let me know if I can help you further and don't hesitate to ask for assistance if you face issues.

My laptop wont wake up from sleep mode

Hello, I hope you can help me!
I have this problem: When I set my laptop to sleep mode or I close my laptop (I have set "sleep" asi action after closing the laptop) it just wont wake up... I open in - nothing, I try to push the button for starting - I can hear it booting, but after few seconds the laptop is quiet again and nothing happens.
All I can to do is trying to turn it on over and over again and after 10 tries it finally starts. Sometimes helps plugging or unplugging the charger.
I don't have this problem with hybernation mode.
I own ThinkPad E535.
I hope it's Windows 7 problem or something with drivers. Or do you think it's a problem with BIOS? I hope not.
Thank you for advices!
(I'm sorry for my poor English, it's not my first language.)

Hit me over the head enough times with a fact and it will sink in.
In the front right corner where your right wrist sets when typing there is a light in the dot of the i in Thinkpad. When the computer is asleep, what is that light doing? When you try waking up the computer and the screen is black, is the light doing anything?
Do you have the power manager installed?
