Lion not waking up from Deep Sleep with File Fault 2

MBA13, 2011 - Lion 7.1: My MBA doesn't resume after deep sleep (hibernate) in combination with full disk encryption.
Waking the machine up, the logo on the back lights up but there's nothing to see on the screen. After turning off filefault, it's all ok. Do more people share this experience?
Regards

This problem has spontaneously resolved itself. Despite what I wrote in my last message, I did not turn off FileVault
Now when I run out of power (triggering deep sleep) and then plug in my computer, instead of the system hanging, I get the usual power-on FileVault unlock screen. After a few seconds (but not a full boot sequence), I then get my regular unlock screen (as if I had just woken up the screensaver).
I haven't applied any software updates (including the recent MBA EFI update), so unfortunately I can't say why this started working for me. I did recently change some settings: I set the system to only require a password 1 minute after going to sleep (instead of immediately); and I gave a second user permission to unlock the computer from power up.

New powerbook does not wake properly from sae sleep

Hi
Since the battery update my new powerbook is not waking correctly from safe sleep. The grey screen shows it "rebooting", and then the last screen I was on appears, but the machine does not respond to trackpad/keyboard input, nor does the clock update etc.
A friend has the same problem with his. Is this a common issue for people? Any ideas of how to resolve it?
This means it is it effectively impossible to calibrate the battery.
Many thanks
Rhys

I am having the same problem.
The battery runs low and eventually the PB puts itself to sleep.
I plug in the AC adapter then press the power button and it wakes up as normal (via Safe Sleep - white wash screen etc.)
But then once it has started it does not respond to anything on the trackpad or keyboard (even bluetooth keyboard). Only the power button works.
I have tried resetting the PMU but that has had no effect.
At the moment I just have to plug the PB in before it puts itself to sleep.

Kernel panics waking from deep sleep after SSD upgrade

Hi
Kernel panics every time a 15-inch mid 2012 MacBook Pro 9,1* wakes from deep sleep** following upgrade from original HDD to an SSD***. The first SSD was replaced under warranty and the issue is still occuring. The extended Apple Hardware Test reports no issues. Following physical installation of the SSD, it was formatted—one Mac OS Extended (journaled) partition—and Yosemite (10.10.1) installed from a USB using the only-slightly-less-easy-way instructions from arstechnica. The original RAM was upgraded about a year ago with Crucial 2x8GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM.
It is a very nice MBP if only these kernel panics could be resolved.

*MBP spec factory configured with 1680-by-1050 high-resolution antiglare display
**It is not clear whether or not this deep sleep is standby mode or safe sleep. It is likely to be safe sleep because when waking from this deep sleep a progress indicator appears

MacBook Pro Not Waking Up From Closed Clamshell Sleep

Hey everyone,
I've been having problems with my mid 2009 2.53GHz MacBook Pro 15" not waking up from sleep after I open the clamshell (screen) back up. When I open the screen after letting it sit for a while, I can hear the HDD spinning up and the status light on the bottom of the MacBook turns off (like it normally does when the clamshell is opened), but the screen is black and there is absolutely no response in any key combinations or trackpad taps. I've been having this problem for about a month now and its getting pretty annoying. I've tried a total wipe of the disk and a fresh Lion install with a full TimeMachine restore, but I'm having absolutely no luck. The only thing that can bring the MBP back to life is a hard restart. Sometimes when I hard restart it, it comes back to life right where I let off (basically like when the battery loses all its juice and restores everything thats open), but most of the time, it starts up like a normal boot with no restore. I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue, but its really starting to get on my nerves. Let me know if you have a solution! Thanks!
-mxbykr99

Unfortunately, I think the logic board is shot on my MBP, and heres why. My lower RAM Slot only reads my ram some of the time, whereas the top slot never has a problem. If I have to restart my Mac because of the above sleeping issue, it only has 2GB of ram, but if I take the sticks out and swap them, it briefly runs with 4GB until the clamshell gets shut again, and its the same slot thats not reading no matter what configuration of RAM I'm using. Ive swapped RAM sticks with multiple people with no luck. If Just take the bottom stick out, everything is fine, but If its only the bottom stick, it only starts up about half the time. If it dosent boot, I get the "Beeps of Death" at startup. As i said earlier, it's probably not the RAM itself thats causing the problem, somethings screwy in my logic board thats preventing it from reading RAM even though it's in the slot. And yes, I made sure the ram was in it's slot all the way.

MacBook always needs to be woken from deep sleep twice

Whenever I wake my MacBook Pro (mid 2012) from "deep sleep"/"hibernation", it wakes up with the gray loading bar and brings me to the login screen as usual, but the keyboard and mouse remain unresponsive. The cursor is blinking in the "Enter Password" field and everything, but it won't recognize any input at all. It remains this way for 2 or 3 minutes, and then it shuts off again. Not just goes back to regular sleep, but back to "deep sleep", so I have to press the power button again, I get the mac chime, and the gray loading bar again, and this time it does this same thing but after about a minute it will suddenly start recognizing mouse and keyboard input.
What's up with this? Is it some driver that's taking a very very long time to load or something? This happens 100% of the time, every single time I wake my MacBook from deep sleep, without fail. Please help, this is extremely inconvenient.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

MacBook Pro will not come out of deep sleep unless plugged in

Has anyone had trouble with this? My MacBook Pro (fall 2012) won't wake up from deep sleep unless I plug it in even if the battery is fully charged. It will take it a while to wake up, and then it shows an X in the battery icon for several minutes even when I know the battery is at or near 100%. It eventually shows the percentage and I can unplug it.
I've tried calling support, but the man I talked to didn't really get what I was saying. He kept offering me solutions that didn't really fit my problem. I thought he'd finally understood, and I was supposed to call back after trying a couple of things, but then I got an email from him saying he'd figured out my problem and I didn't need to call back. My MacBook Pro was going into deep sleep, and deep sleep is totally normal. Uh, yeah. I know. That's not the problem. It won't wake up is the problem.
Running 10.8.4
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Diana

Here's what I've tried so far.
Reset SMC
Reset PRAM
Repair permissions
Boot in Safe Mode
Deleted Power Management plist file
Changed screensaver (worked for someone in the discussions forum)
Adjusted Startup/Wake time in Energy Saver (also worked for someone)
Update firmware with 1.8 (suggested for my machine)
Updated to 10.8.5
Downloaded Smart Sleep--set it to Sleep only, thought it was working for a few days, but machine would not wake up again yesterday and today
Just read about locking the Energy Saver today so will try that.
Mine seems to be connected to the power cord for some reason. I always have to plug it in to wake it up from deep sleep. Then it wakes up ok. The problem isn't awful since I rarely take it with me, but it just shouldn't be happening. My older MacBookPro (2010) never has this problem, but it's still running Leopard.
I have a Genius Bar appt. in a couple of days.

System time stuck after returning from deep sleep

Hi,
When I return from deep sleep, my system time is set to when I entered deep sleep. Only after opening Date & Time system preferences, the time is corrected.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Markus

Other basic and routine maintenance is often helpful
even if the results of preventative tasks go unseen.
The use of Disk Utility's function to 'repair disk permission'
and also the ability to start the computer into SafeBoot
mode, where it is forced to check and repair system bits,
(hold shift key on startup, wait, login; at desktop, you can
also choose to run Disk Utility per above, by using GO in
the Finder menubar, and open Utilities folder> disk utility;
when done repairing disk permissions, quit; then restart)
is one of the harmless simpler single or dual acts one can do.
There are third party utility like interface tools that allow
the user to run maintenance tasks through the GUI of
that tool and not have to force them from a Single User
mode of access; these are often freeware, such as the
well known OnyX by Titanium Software. In my Macs,
once a month or more (if I feel motivated) I run OnyX's
'automation' tab selection, and check-box all of them.
And have OnyX's preferences set to restart after its done.
Some of the other options can be helpful, when you discover
their purpose and find when they can have practical worth.
In any event, some kinds of issues can be headed off; and
a good idea is to invest in some backup strategy which
gives you a few options; although I am lazy about it now, I
have made backup full bootable clones of my computers.
This is done to an external drive which supports same.
Learning ahead of a drastic need, how to use some of
the better free-running downloadable cloneware, is good.
And the idea is you can actually do most of the minor tech
work and repairs to a system (and have boot clones) at
home; especially handy when you live 100+ miles on a
road to nowhere. As some will argue, the living planet is
on a dead-end road, it is good to get out and witness life.
Being where there are no tech support persons, I have
learned to do more than I need to; and when not messed
with, tend to enjoy learning more than I'd actually need to.
In any event, hopefully things go well with these matters...
Good luck & happy computing!

Macboor air 13 late 2010 freezes when wake from deep sleep

Hi. I have had this problem for a few months and still havent found a solution. This macbook air freezes and is totally unresponsive for five or six seconds when it wakes from deep sleep. I have tried:
1 Apple hardware test, which came up negative. No hardware problem detected
2 reset the SMC several times. No fix.
3 repaired permissions in disk utility, and also verified and repaired disk. Still no results.
4 restarted many times.
5 tried booting in safe mode, but it made the machine hang.
The only thing I havent tried yet is resetting the PRAM. in the event that that doesnt work, does anyone have any ideas. I only found thre

I think it might just depend on how often your machine does this. My MBA 13 has done what you are describing one or twice, but its a rare event. I'm not too worried about it, but you might want to contact AppleCare and see if they have any more information...

T450S and WIN8.1, "resume from deep sleep" woes

I installed retail win 8.1 on my T450S. I prepared the "Intel resume" partition at the end of the disk.
Now when it returns from deep sleep it randomly selects between the intel partition (displays "resuming from deep sleep" in preboot screen) and Windows own deep sleep state. ( displays the Lenovo logo and the windows "rose" in preboot screen)
Maybe the intel partition is not needed on win 8.1 ?
Can someone please enlighten me?
PS, I run the Hyper-V hypervisor that presumably disables some of Windows sleep states.

I have a variatio of this issue. Brand new t450s ...arrived yesterday. Power management set to suspend when I close lid (battery or AC). However 50% of the time (randmonly distributed), it shuts down ... hence closes all applications etc. I called Lenovo tech support and they tried to defer me to the "premium OS support" to which I promptly declined. Its a frustrating issue as it defeats the purpose of the suspend function ... any thoughts ?

CAN the Mac Pro deep-sleep with the Apple Raid Card?

So, reading through previous posts, there seems to be a problem (or 'feature' to charge the battery?) that prevents the Mac Pro from sleeping when the Apple Raid Card is installed.
Can users owning this setup corraborate? Is this indeed the intended way to work?
Thx,
Dan

as far as I know, deep sleep is only available for portable machines. if you meant regular sleep I cant help you because I haven't got a RAID card.
edit: I may have confused deep sleep with safe sleep… sorry.

Does my macbook pro retina 2015, can go deep sleep with sd card inside it?

I heard some problems about MacBooks don't going to deep sleep if an sd card is inside it.
I have an sd card with my media, because I don't want my macbook full and I wanted to know if he can go to deep sleep with an sd card inside.
If I just need to unmount it for it to go to sleep but can leave it there, I head there's an app that can solve that easy called Jettison.
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance!

I've had the same problem after a software update since early March this year. Wondered it might be the update of Safari 4.0.5 or ProKit 5.1. Although I took them to the apple store in london last week, they deleted sleepimage in Terminal and then it turned out nothing changed. However, they just haven't got any clue at all. Then, the other day I tried adding a new user account and removing battery then pressed power button for 5 secs, either way did not work. Indeed we should get their attention. btw, i'm using a mid2008 15" macbook pro on 10.5.8.

My iMac 24" late 2006 refuses to wake from deep sleep,

My iMac is refusing to wake from deep sleep or from a shutdown, will start if I persist in either using safe mode or command mode (cmd + s)but can take many attempts, have repaired permissions and verified disk, on permissions it is constantly changing the permissions on preference panes as listed below, but this is a shortened view, there are 23 lines like this.
permissions differ on "SystemLibrary/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane/Contents/Resources/sk.lproj/Di splaysPref.nib" should be drwxr-xr-x they are -rw-r- -r- -
Would it be ok to trash the Preference Pane folder and let it rebuild ???
Any help welcome

Helio, you can mostly ignore repeated Permission Repairs.
To remove Prefpanes, right click on one & nchoose Remove.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Firefox can't read any Bookmark that was imported from my PC with file extension .url. Safari reads them fine. Is there a fix, so I can use Firefox instead of Safari? Many thanks if so. I have the latest version of Firefox

Hello JF.
I don't think that extension is supported. I believe Firefox can only read .json and .html.

Macbook not waking up from 'sleep'

Hi there,
I got an really annoying Problem with my 4-Month old Macbook Pro and I hope you guys here can help.
My Macbook Pro does not wake up from sleep, the sleep indicator is solid and not pulsating at all.
The strange thing is, when I initiate Standby the sleep indicator is pulsating, also I can wake my mac up. So my macbook is not waking up if it goes to sleep by its self.
In Addition it is possible to wake my macbook up few seconds after it automatically goes to sleep.
But if is goes to sleep automatically and I don't touch it for few hours I cannot wake it up again.
I already did a PRAM, SMC reset. no change.
Maybe I should mention that my macbook pro is hooked up on an external Display. But not directly connected, there is a kvm switch in between. So I can switch between PC1(PC1Display) & MAC1(PC1Display+MAC1Display) Configurations.
any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks, TimmyX

I seem to be having the problem as well.
Occasionally when waking it will work. the machine wakes up to a white screen and a little progress bar at the bottom. then the screen comes back.
other times the screen stays black. it seems the computer itself is not sleeping but the screen is black and the Fkeys don't work to either to either change the dim settings on the monitor or keyboard.
I usually have to force shut down the computer to get it back.
I tried the fix I found online about turing off the ethernet port then re activating it after a restart and that seemed to work.
Then I updated to 10.6.2 (using the combo updater NOT software update) and the problem is back.
I now have done the ethernet off and on fix again. I hope it will wor.
I have found a lot opf people with this problem...
I did a clean install of 10.6 and then used migration assistant for my files and prefs... but not my applications since I was migrating from a powerbook g4.
Maybe some pref or setting that was migrated for many of us is causing it...
Are there others with the problem who are on a NEW mac without any migration?
Hope we can help get to the bottom of this.

Not waking up from sleep

TOSHIBA Satellite L505D-S5983 Windows 7
If in sleep more than an hour or so would occasionally not wake up, or would take 5, 10, 15 minutes to wake up.
By accident I discovered than if I had the task bar locked in place it would always wake up as soon as I moved the mouse. If the task bar was set to auto hide than I would have the "not waking up" problem. I have tried this about ten times over the past three days and always get the same results.
Does not make any sense to me but that is what I found. Would be interested if others have the same solution.

LOL same problems here, didnt think that others had this problem too. Just thought it was the way i installed Leopard ( i didnt do a clean install, just upgraded) been meaning to redo it, but not got around to it yet.
also got these problems too ... already sent a bug report to apple.
My macbook pro is having a strange problem. When i start typing for example, and website address or anything for that matter, the first letter that i type is not registered. So, when typing "www" all you get is... "ww" this very annoying and as you can imagine over time, as i have had my macbook pro for about 6 months, and get very frustrating.
I would also like to address my airport range. When i compare my Macbook pro to my girlfriends new Macbook, its apparent that her Macbook's Wifi range is much better. She is able to see more wifi hotspots. For example, in the same location, she can see 8 hotspots whereas i can only see 3 hotspots on my macbook pro. I am starting to think my Pro is not very pro, and i wish i got a Macbook rather than the Pro, as it has a better range of Wifi.
Also, while i am at it. i would also like to address my Macbook Pro's Battery heath. I use a Dashboard Widget called "istat pro" my Girlfriend uses this too on her Macbook. She has had her Macbook for about 6 months also, and her battery health is 100% Perfect. Now my Macbook Pro's battery health is 93%. this worries me. My Macbook pro's battery has had 107 cycles and my girlfriend's macbook has had 96 cycles... Why is that ?
please help.
a worried mac user.
