Mac air goes into sleep won't wake

MacBook Air goes to sleep as normal, but won't wake up now.

A new mini is on the way & I'm researching UPS's. A question that I now have is -
The new mini will have 10.5 which will be nice, but I really want to put my old hard drive straight into the new unit so I can have my old computer back the way I like it. Right now I have my external drive with everything on it plugged into my wifes macbook, & I can access everything except my email. The old emails are there in the folders, but as numbered icons, & I can't find anything. With my business I often have to refer back to old emails, & right now it's really hard to. I have tried to import them into mail, but it says it doesn't recognize them.
If I do this, can I put the new backup discs in & load leopard onto the old hard drive without loosing my old information & setup? We are on a very slow dial-up here, so I've never been able to accept the automatic updates. I look forward your advice.

Mac Pro goes to sleep and wont wake up

Any idea how to stop the Mac from freezing up when it goes into sleep mode?
First the screen saver comes on and then after a way it goes into hibernation and then can't be woken.
It use to wake but suddenly decided not to. Nothing's changed.

Well, as you can see from the long discussion on Creative Cow, the XD Cam issue is complicated and seems to be a hardware issue with Mac Pros. Disconnecting the fibre channel card seemed to have worked for one person. I haven't got one of those as far as I know! But then my crashes aren't as constant as his and seem connected, in my mind, with the odd way FC garbles the aspect ratios of Ex 1 footage, especially if mixed with filters and other codecs on the same time line... but some people swear it's the hardware not the soft that's the problem.
Anyway, I've had the hardware... RAM, Disk issues etc... all triple checked out and can't find a problem.
But still Finder takes six seconds to find anything and I think that has caused some crashes.
It doesn't seem to like Soundtrack Pro at all! (You can find a mixed bag of experiences on that issue as well.) And Motion works a little bit too jittery for my liking.
It might be that there are several different flavours of mother board, some not as geared up to this software as others. That's my theory at the moment. The only way to check is to stick my hard drives into the machine of someone who says they don't have any problems.

Start up drive goes to sleep, won't wake up

I added a second internal drive (SATA) Maxtor 6V250F0 250gb and have made it my start up drive. The problem is, every now and then the drive goes into sleep mode. (The computer itself has not gone to sleep. As often as not, I simply reading a website or whatever.) This leads to spinning beach ball city as applications stop responding. The only way to recover is to do a hard shut down using the power button and restart.
I have tried unchecking "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" in the Energy Saver control panel, but it still happens.
Possibly related: If I put the machine to sleep manually, when I wake it up, the start up drive acts as if it is read-only. Again, only a restart can correct it.
Also possibly related: The old start up drive can not be unmounted either in the Finder or in Disk Utility. As a result, I can't erase it with Disk Utility. (I realize I could probably get around this by starting up from the Tiger DVD, but I'm more concerned about the new start up drive problems.)

Having the same problem. 74GB raptor boot drive becomes read only after idle

Internet not working after MAC book goes into sleep mode

If my mac book goes to sleep or if i close it when i wake it up/open it the internet doesnt work, usually have to restart it or wait several minutes in order for the internet to come back any way to fix this problem?

Safari, Firefox will all open up; we're talking specifically about airport. It will not automatically connect to my home's wireless network once I wake it from sleep. Actually it will not even pick up or recognize any other close by networks. When you click on the airport symbol to get the drop down menu, the only option that is there is 'other'.
Once I wake it, I will leave it there for about ten minutes and when I come back it has finally picked up the other networks and I am able to connect to my home's wireless network.

IMac goes to sleep; won't wake up

After burning my first DVD I noticed the iMac goes to sleep, the light pulsating for a few moments then it disappears (screen is still dark) and it will not wake by touching keyboard or moving the mouse. (I had to unplug it and hit start-up button to get iMac back up & running).
It seems to run fine except for this sleep issue. I can re-awake it at the stage where the screen saver is still on; after that it's in a coma. I have deleted the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file (suggested by Dale in another post).
I know I can set the computer to "Never" go to sleep but is that a viable option? And, may this sleep problem be a symptom showing some problem exists w/ the power supply or the logic board as I've seen described in other posts. i.e. Should I be calling in the Apple Care people to diagnose my comatose Mac?

I called Apple Care; the tech ran through a process involving unplugging all peripherals, etc etc; the end result being that my iMac is diagnosed w/ a power supply issue. It will qualify to be repaired under the iMac G5 Repair Extension Plan, free of charge. (My iMac also needed a logic board to be replaced 6 months after purchase in Jan. 2005.) My advice: don't purchase the "first generation" of a product line; too often the kinks haven't yet been worked out. If you must make such a purchase, buy the extended warranty (the ProCare plan) and protect your investment.

MBP goes to sleep, won't wake up!?!?

Recently my MacBook Pro has began going to sleep, either after not being used or after I shut it, and then it won't wake up and has to be restarted manually, which costs me data, time, etc.
I've researched the problem, but haven't seen anything that sounded exactly like what I am going through.
Plus I'm not the best at fixing stuff myself (lets just say I'm not going to get hired as a MacGenius anytime soon).
Help me! I'm writing my National Board Papers right now and need my machine to be reliable!!!
Thanks in advance.

I have just started having the same problem. I used to be able to use the MBP for a few minutes, leave it on the table and let it go to sleep. Come back anytime and it would wake. Now it won't, and I have to go back and plug it in to get it to wake. I have just now noticed that the battery is almost drained. I used to be able to do this for a couple of days without charging, and now it won't make it 12 hours.
The battery being almost drained would explain the no wake, but now the question is why it is draining so quickly even in sleep mode. Especially when I used to tell everyone how great the MBP is, and how long the battery lasts and how quick is starts up. Of course I was telling this to all my co-workers where we are stuck with the company issued Dell.
I think this may have all started after upgrading to 10.5 or iLife08, as those are the only two programs that have recently been added.

Retina goes to Sleep won't Wake

So i have a late 2012 Retina. It recently has been going to sleep and then failing to wake up when i open the lid or touch the keyboard. I have Reset the SMC by holding Shift+Option+CTL and the power button when the system was off. This seems to work because the power cord blinks when i do it. Sadly that has not solved the problem. I have tired of doing a hard reset by holding down the power button. I don't like doing that i feel like its not healthy for the computer. I did a reinstall of the OS and that solved the problem for a little while, but then it returned. I am planning on doing a full clean install of OS X Mavericks but if i don't have too i don't want too. So again it goes to sleep then it doesn't wake so i hold power reset and then start again. I need to trust my ststem is going to wake up. Sending it back to Apple is not an option.

HPw2207 Monitor Goes To Sleep & Won't Wake Up

My HPw2207 Wide LCD Monitor goes to sleep and won't come out of the sleep mode. The screen is blank and won't respond. I have to unplug power and reboot the HP Desktop to get the monitor to work again. Once the monitor is timed to sleep the same thing happens and I have to reboot the system again. The computer is an HP-Pavillion d4999t (KC836AV-ABA). I also have an NVIDIA graphics card on the system. This started about a week ago. I checked the cable connection and it appears to be fine. I tried downloading an updated driver for the monitor for Windows 7 from this site but it encounters an error when trying to install. I have set the sleep mode to "Never" for now hoping that this will at least keep the monitor awake in screen saver mode. I need some help.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi:
Thanks for your nterest in the problem. Yes, I have tried pressing both the power button and the spacebar to bring the monitor out of sleep mode. Neither works. The power button is non responsive at this point. Shutting off the monitor and restarting does nothing as well. The only way to get the monitor out of sleep is to disconnect all power and cold start the entire system. However when the monitror goes back into sleep mode the system freezes up again.

Mac book goes into sleep mode it won't always come out the keyboard lights up but the screen will not

it seemed to start after i updated to OS X lion.

I have this same issue. When experiencing this issue I connected a wired mouse and selected/reviewed bluetooth device status which showed blutooth devices not connected. Trying to reconnect and/or restart the bluetooth devices (keyboard, mouse, and trackpad) did not work. Only a reboot solves the problem. Reseting the hardware does not prevent this issue.
Apple support informed me that this is a known bug and they are working on it. There is a bluetooth issue with supporting three bluetooth devices that manifests after sleep. My work around was to use only bluetooth keyboard and magic mouse. This solves the problem. After each OS patch is applied (in future) I plan to check and see if the issue is solved. I did not upgrade yet to to patches released in Feb. 2012 - so it might be fixed there (as part of the wifi sleep issue solution).

Computer goes to sleep won't wake up

I have given a laptop to an elderly parent so that she can surf. For several weeks now, at some point in the day the laptop goes black (to sleep?) and the slowly blinking white light bottom right glows steadily. Tapping the track pad or any key does not bring up the desktop. I have tried draining the battery and re-charging, changing System Preferences under Energy Saver for the display and computer to never sleep, cleaned up permissions with Disk Utility. That's about the extent of it, the computer shuts down every day I suspect at the same time but have no way to check.
This is a MacBook Pro 15" around4 years old? 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 4GB Memory, 1067 Mhz DDR3. FWIW, the only non-native program is an application to run a signal antenna to connect her laptop wirelessly to my network. Generally the laptop is run connected to power, and I don't believe it makes any difference whether the laptop is left open or shut.
Appreciate any help you can give!

This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

IPhone 4 Bluetooth automatically "going to sleep", won't wake up until bluetooth is cycled on/off

Hey guys,
I've had this problem for a while, but just recently it's been getting more and more frustrating.
I have an iPhone 4, and whenever I get into my car, my car will automatically search for the iphone to connect to. Now, normally this is great! Except that, after a few hours of non-use, my iPhone's bluetooth connection will require that I either A. Click on the car's bluetooth profile in the bluetooth menu to "wake up" the bluetooth (which involves the phone automatically cycling bluetooth on and off) or B. Manually turning bluetooth on and off.
Is this normal? I thought that if I left bluetooth "on" it would be waiting for a connection and would activate automatically when something was trying to pair with it. Any insight?

Anyone?

ATI Radeon 300 Monitor goes to sleep - won't wake up.

I have Windows 7 running on a system that has an ATI Radeon 300 based video card. The card has two monitor connectors, VGA and DVI. I am using two monitors, Number 1 is a 19" 16:9 monitor connected to the DVI, Number 2 is a 15" 4:3 monitor connected to the VGA port. The primary monitor (with the Task Bar) is Number 1, DVI, 16:9.
Here's what happens. When I leave my Windows 7 computer the monitors go to sleep. When I come back to do some more work, and I move the mouse, only display Number 2 wakes up! I can move the mouse around and Display 2, the 15" 4:3 monitor on the VGA works great, but the main display connected to the DVI will not wake up. I have to do a shut down using the power button on the front of the computer!
Weird, huh? Any clues? I do like to have my computer monitors turn themselves off when not in use.
Thanks if anyone can help. I'm using the video drivers that installed with Windows 7.

Hi PhilBiker,
It seems that your ATI Radeon 300 based video card is a little bit old. Since one of your monitor (15" 4:3 monitor on the VGA) can wake up properly, we can conclude the Power Settings are configured correctly and this issue can occur because the device driver you currently use cannot support yours 19" 16:9 monitor on the DVI very well or Monitor Configuration is not set normally.
After checking the official documentation on ATI support link, you can see
"Note: AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support). Using the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD, and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users running in this configuration”
Reference: ATI Catalyst™ Display Driver
Radeon™ X300 Graphics Technology - Versatility and Performance at a Value Price
As suggested, you can try installing Windows Vista driver in Windows 7 to check if the issue can be resolved.
1. Right-click the exe. file and choose Properties.
2. Under the Compatibility tab, please check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose "Windows Vista".
3. Check the box before “Run this program as an Administrator” below.
4. Click OK to save the settings.
5. Follow the instruction to install the driver, and test.
After that, if the issue persists, please do the following test and let me know the results.
1. Disconnect the 15” monitor and only connect the 19” monitor, put the computer to sleep, then resume it to see if the 19” monitor can resume normally.
2. Set the 15” monitor as the primary display and set the 19” monitor as the external display to test.

I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks

Power Mac G4 MDD keeps going into sleep

My G4 has a strange sleep issue. I'll be working on my Mac for a good hour or so when fan starts doing an imitation of an F15 jet engine. This is then followed by screen & Mac going into sleep mode. I hit any key & comes out of sleep momentarily then goes back to sleep. No matter how many times I hit keyboard it goes into sleep again. I finally have to shutdown which is tricky as often while trying to do so, will go into sleep mode. I've disconnected all USB/Firewire devices, ran Disk Utility/First Aid, reset PMU, PRAM & replaced battery. I've also taken out 2 x 512Mb additional Non Kingston RAM but didn't make any difference.I'm thinking it's got to be down to overheating/clocking as fan noisy & heat sink gets very hot. I've heard Tech Tool can elimainate these sort of problems & fix overclocking processor speed? I've looked at discussions but couldn't see anything that matched this ailment.
Any help/advice greatly appreciated

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.
Try resetting the PRAM. This should reset the NVRAM on most machines, which is the suggested fix. If that didn't help, do the following manually;
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.
If you have a storage device mounted via a PCI card that doesn't support sleep read this Apple doc. Thanks Texas MacMan!
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
 Good Luck! DALE

Mac Pro randomly goes into sleep mode

My (mid 2010) Mac Pro, OS X.6.8, randomly goes into sleep mode and I can't wake it, have to power it off and reboot. Just started to the best of my knowledge Friday (Jan 6, 2012) I've had it happen surfing the web in Safari, while working on an illustration in Adobe Illustrator, while running Apple Hardware Test, using 23" LCD connected by HDMI and DVI-D, Disconnected monitor and connected 12" Cintiq (LCD Tablet).
The monitor goes black, says "there's no signal coming from your computer", none of the keys will wake it. I have to hold down the power button until it turns off then power it back up. The time between the sleeps varies, 38min, 1hr 34min, 5min, 2hr 17min, 12min, etc. I disconnected everything (except keyboard, mouse, monitor) still the same. Opened and removed the ATI Radeon HD 5870, and noticed the PRAM battery, replaced it with a new one, thought that fixed it, worked for a long time then it happened again.
Tried Apple Hardware Tester again, it said everything is fine, ran it again an error popped up: 4SNS/1/40000000:Te1S-99.364, wrote it down then it slept.

The next time this happens open your mac and see if there is still a fan running. If so you are not sleeping, you are in a thermal cutoff. Keep you mac cover off.
Now reboot as you always do. Take a look at the fan in your 5870. Is it spinning? If so, try to keep an eye on it and see if you can "catch" it not spinning.
When the fan doesn't start, or if it does then stops, the card will overheat and the machine will go into thermal cutoff. The amount of time is variable.
I speak from experience. I am currently on my third 5870 video card. Both the previous two had this fan problem. The only wrinkle in my theory for you is that I wouldn't expect more that, say, 15 minutes of up time at the most, not hours like you got. But it may be that your card is starting ok, but stops sometime later. I chalk it up to the lousy fans Nvidia uses in the 5x70 cards.
FWIW, if you happen to catch the fan stopped before the machine goes into thermal cutoff you can give it a little nudge with your finger to get it going again.
I recommend one of the various temperature monitors. I use iStat Menus and display some key temps in my menu bar. Of course after going through two of these cards I am a bit paranoid!
Some other temperature monitors:
iStat Pro
Temperature Monitor
Hardware Monitor
Note, after typing all this I also realized you got a AHT 4SNS error. I would run AHT again to see if you get that error again. If so that means "Check Main Logic Board" and you may have a more serious hardware problem than just a video card! So my other recommendation is that when you machine fails again look inside for any lit diagnostic leds. There's some near the dimms but there are others on the board as well.
