Lion will not wake after it goes to sleep.

Since I have downloaded Lion, when my mac sits idel and goes to sleep I can't wake it up without a hard shut down. Does anybuddy have this same problem?

Boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup.) Same artifacts?

White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used. When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times. It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS. Nothing I did fixed the issue. I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue. I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online. After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc. However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem. Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots. I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences. I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting. This actually fixed the problem. I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly. I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty. After I did that I was unable to load anything. It would not go into lion or anything else. I fiddled with the command lines and nothing. I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc. After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep. This time the battery trick is not working. I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair. All to no avail. I know that it has the capacity to work because it did. Please help me, I really want this to work. Thanks.

It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD. Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

Sleeping Mountain Lion will not wake up

I have just update to Mountain Lion on my 27inch iMac .
Once it goes to sleep automatcially it will not wake up again. I need to press the power button and reboot the whole system which loses any work I am doing
There was no problem with Lion. The machine would wake up via the mouse click or enter on the keyboard
Has anyone else experience this problem and is ther a setting that neds to be changed somewhere

I suspect now that some widgets, and apps are setting bad hibernatemodes.
source: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19066192#19066192#19066192
I used pmset -g, and it said I was in hibernatemode 5. I set this (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0) closed the lid, and it came back up. I set it to 3, and the same. I moved over to my widget, and set it. Checked my mode, and it was back to 5.
I used `man pmset` it said to only use mode 0, 3, and 25! No others! I again set it (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25) this time to 25, and it seems to work fine.
I suspect Apple made changes to their power managment, and disabled older modes. They should have set this correctly in our upgrades, instead of letting us figure it out.

Often will not wake after extended sleep; PowerMac G5 Quad

Why is it that My G5 Quad has repeatedly refused to wake from a sleep?
when i leave it for a night, a few days, sometimes even a few hours, the machine will not wake. keyboard, mouse, all no response. even restart key combos, nothing. I end up doing a cold restart (holding down the power button). i hate doing that.
i've run hardware tests, nothing. Perhaps its a cooling/heating issue?
once, i did the cold restart and it froze up in the moment when the red light blinks and it shuts down. but that time the red light stayed on and the fans were all blaring. I had to pull the power cord out!
it seems to occur when i leave an application running that uses the internet. folding at home, mainly.
anyone know about this? do i have to send 'er in for some fixing?

If you're in a
very dusty environment, I've seen that cause clogging
of the fans/cooling system - otherwise, suspect RAM
first as noted.
I think you may be right. i just found the processor box thingy (next to the fans?) was almost 90% caked with dust. i busted out the handy vac and carefully vac'ed it clean. i made sure not to put the vacuum nozzle right up to the box, just skirting it a half-inch above.
I called applecare just now and went through some steps to remedy the sleeping crashes;
we booted from install dvd, ran disk utility "repair disk" no errors, hardware test said no errors on a recent test. we then booted to open firmware, reset three things rebooted with some key commands, three chimes, booted, unplugged the beast, replugged, rebooted, unpluged, pushed in the little power module button. now it seems even a bit smoother than before!
only thing was that pushing the little power reset button in there is subtle. you can't really feel that you've pushed it! the guy didn't tell me to be careful not to push it more than once until after i'd tried to push it maybe ten times. apparently you just touch it and it's done, but i thought it would pop or click or slide more, but i guess not?
hopefully that will resolve the sleeping crashes, i'll have to wait and see.
if it happens again, i'll take your advice and assume it's the ram. I won't swap them, because i'm a front-end guy. i was so scared to open the box just now, and imagine my peril when i realized i had to vacuum inside there!
If it happens again, I will take it in to an applestore, that way if it breaks i am not gonna get blamed.
THANK YOU BOTH!

(10.6.5) Will not wake after sleep with CUDA running

If I have a CUDA application running when I sleep my system, then the system will NOT wake up. This worked fine in 10.6.4.
Ideas? How do I downgrade?

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM (instructions in knowledge base articles).

Request to Mods. re: Yoga Tablet pro 2 not wakeable after it goes to sleep

We have a number of posts regarding the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 going to sleep and not waking up. Can we get some kind of confirmation that this is actively being worked on or passed along? I feel most of us have tried to do a factory reset, for some it's worked for a time, others (such as myself) this has not worked at all. It is not a battery issue because when you hard power off the device and repower it back on, the battery still shows maybe a few percent less than when the device went to sleep.
I do know this is frustrating me and I'm tempted to walk away from this tablet for that reason.
Perhaps we can get a confirmation that this has been passed up the chain or any kind of other "official" recommendations to try. It's not fun having to come back to my tablet after it goes to sleep and having to hard power it off and then repower it back on - every 5th or 6th time.
Thank you,
Dan

I am bumping this. I'd like to see one thread or a sticky on this topic. There are too many threads on this issue and some of us are repeating the same information. I'd also like to know if any work is being done by Lenovo on this issue. The Factory reset seemed to work for a 2 weeks and now my tablet is back to sleeping and not waking.
If someone stumbles on this, the North American Number for Lenovo Tech Support is:
877-453-8686
If you call, Remind them that the Factory reset does not work.
Dont forget to be courteous!

Windows 7 Does Not Respond after it goes to sleep

We are using Windows 7 image distribution through SCCM for our entire organization. Lately, I came across this issue, now becoming more common on all
the systems. The computer won't wake up from sleep by pressing any key, if left unattended for more that 30 Mins (rather after it goes to sleep). A forced Restart is then necessary to return everything to normal. We are using Dell Latitude E series laptops,
as a standard all throughout our organization.
Already tried lot of option like - upgrading the drivers, changing the power plans etc. However, neither of them worked. Any suggestions in this regard
are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

These type of issues can be solved by performing a startup repair.

Macbook pro (lion) will not reboot after updating itunes

Thunderbolt Display in Bootcamp: Wont 'wake' after comp goes to sleep, and wont respond to dim controls.

Hi, I am using a 2011 iMac and my thunderbolt display arrived today.
I use bootcamp (win7) and the display works fine on start up, 2 issues though:
1. Keyboard brightness controls affect the main display but do not not change the thunderbolt display.
2. After the computer goes to sleep, apon waking the thunderbolt display stays off.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Sam

I have no idea about changing from Helpful to Correct. (but feel free to mark this one as correct).
Fixed in the next update in what way? So that the brightness buttons control both at the same time? Don't hold your breath waiting for it. This has been an issue with all the displays for a long time and I doubt this will happen. The problem is that the screens can get out of sync (like if you enable the option to automatically adjust based on the room brightness) so that the brightness wouldn't be the same between them. Who know, perhaps they will come up with this fix and allow them to sync properly.
I don't know of a Windows program but on OSX, I use ControllerMate to do this for me. CM allows you to customize all your buttons to do different (or additional) things. In my situation, I have the external keyboard attached to a 27" Cinema Display. When I press the brightness keys on the external, OSX detects the keys and adjusts only the CD brightness. However, CM is also monitoring the keys and when I use them, it emulates the same brightness keys being pressed on the laptop keyboard. This allows me to control the brightness on both at the same time. If needed, I can press the brightness keys on the laptop and adjust that screen seperately because I haven't programmed CM to monitor those keys.

Weird Issue - Gen5 iPod will not play after waking up from sleep.

I think my 5th gen 30GB iPod is just lazy and needs a kick to get going =)
Seriously though, let's say I'm playing a song. I pause the song and then put the iPod to sleep by either selecting sleep from the menu or by holding down the play/pause button. I then proceed to slide the hold button.
When I'm ready to play again I slide the hold button back then hit the play pause. No output at all. 99% of the time when this happens the time will count down like it's supposed to be playing but there is no output. Every now and then the time doesn't progress even though the icon at the top left side of the screen says play.
I can choose other songs and it does the same thing. The only solution is to put it back to sleep and then wake it up again. Works perfect.
Any ideas?
Gen5 30GB Windows XP Pro

Hi Dick, same here.
Since about a week, I noticed this too on my 8core MacPro with attached LaCie Electron screen.
No external drives or anything else attached ( except for the keyboard and mouse ) .
It only happens when the screen is sleeping while the computer itself is still awake.
I can use the keyboard to quit open applications or eject a cd, but the screen stays black.
When the computer itself is sleeping, it does wake up normally - including the screen...
Peter
Forgot to add: when touching the the ON button, the computer goes to sleep and if I then touch the mouse or a key, it wakes up normally.

Monitor will not wake after entering standby

I have been trying to solve this issue for several months now, it is amazing how common the issue is but yet there is no clear solution to the problem or understand what might be causing the problem.
I have set my computer to put the monitor into standby mode after 15 minutes of inactivity - during which my monitor is still powered on but the PC shuts off the video. To wake it, usually bumping the mouse or pressing any key/button will wake it. I have found recently that sometimes it won't come out of standby. Moving the mouse won't wake it, hitting keys won't wake it, it just remains in standby mode - the PC is still on and running but the display won't wake.
This is very random, most of the time it wakes up, rarely, it just doesn't. I tried to click the num lock button on and off to see if it responds, and most of the time it does, however I think there were a couple of instances it doesn't. I tried to go to bios and select the wakeup event and switch between bios and os, if I select OS, my computer simply doesn't start after the hybrid shutdown of windows 8.1, so I set it back to bios.
My computer is configured not to sleep, but just to turn off display after 15 minutes. I thought the issue was related to AMD cards but apparently it is also with Nvidia cards as well. Any help would be appreciated.
My specs, everything is up to date as of the post, all updates are checked using msi live update software:
MSI Z87-G43 Gaming Motherboard - Bios ver: A.60
Sapphire Tri X R9 290 OC - Catalyst 14.7 RC3
Intel Core i5 4670

Checked the bios from here, http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?architecture=&manufacturer=Sapphire&model=R9+290&interface=&memType=&memSize=
Looks like my Bios is up to date from the list, not sure if there are more updated BIOS elsewhere.

Macbook Pro 8,2 will not wake after suspend

Hey friends,
I'm having problems with my MBP 8,2 waking after suspending it to ram via pm-suspend. This is output in pm-suspend.log:

Hi All, Mac Pro 2008 will not start after shutdown straight from sleep! Help!

WILL A NEW LOGIC BOARD SOLVE MY PROBLEM?
My early 2008 Mac Pro (2.8, 8-core 22 gigs ram) was shutting down from sleep both when I activated it, and then later by itself. Recently it refused to turn on, shuts down after about 3 seconds, light goes off, fans stop.
Took it in and they replaced the GPU card and PSU. Things were great ... for two weeks. Then suddenly the same symptoms, but at an accelerated rate of occurance. After a day, it did not power on at all save the three seconds of startup fans.
Took it in again. They AGAIN replace the known-faulty ATI Radeon HD2600 XT cards (two), the ones Apple have agreed to replace up to July 2011.
Well got the machine back and she worked like a charm... for two weeks. Same thing now. By the way all checks of hardware, ram, disk drives - extensively have come up OK.
Does anyone have any advice, or have the same problem?
If it is the logic board, is it worth it to replace or when things go south like this is it better to cut your losses as more and more will likely go wrong?
Would appreciate any feedback.
Many thanks

We can't help with your question. How would we know what has gone wrong with your hardware? We don't have access to your machine.
I would take it back, or send it in, to Apple Repair.
I hope you have AppleCare!

My MBA screen doesn't respond well on wake,after it goes to sleep. Any ideas?

Is it that there is just too much going on for the system, I have my HD encrypted.

Boot from your recovery partition (command-R at startup.) Same artifacts?

Mac will not wake up from sleep

I'm running 10,7,5 on 2x2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon. The computer needs to restart because it will not wake after it sleeps. I've tried lots of different settings in the screen saver.
Any suggestions?

.... and you fail to mention the model SSD and firmware version... or how you installed or cloned the system
most people also move most of their user folder to another hard drive.
sounds like a more normal Mail + OS issue if just that.
hard restarts = directory corruption so don't reboot w/o first either Recovery Mode, then follow up with Safe Boot.
And maybe you have 3rd party hardware or software that is not compatible with 10.8.2 needs to be considered as well.
2008 model 3,1 also are having a lot of issues this year. Including another critical piece, what gpu it has.

Lion will not wake after it goes to sleep.
