Mac Book Pro First Generation Sleep issue

I have a macbook pro first generation with the 1.8Ghz dual core (I added 1 GB ram for a total of 1.5GB). After updating it to OSX 10.4.8, the computer is having sleep issue. If I try to put it to sleep using the sleep command, it will go to sleep, but then it will make the clicking noises around the dvd player slot area, and within a minute or two the computer will wake itself up.
This happens if I use the power adapter to run it, or if I use the battery to power it. In essence the computer is unable to be put to sleep using the sleep command from the menu. I can close the lid, and the display would turned itself off, but the clicking noises from the dvd slot area is still happening, so I am not sure if is is asleep. The only time that it will go to "deep sleep" mode if I leave it until the energy safe command kicks in and put it to sleep.
I don't have problem getting the computer "awaken" from its sleep state. Though it does have that "blank" blue screen a mere seconds before it reverts to the desktop, which a lot of people have reported in their posting. Is this a software problem? or is it a hardware issues?
The laptop is no longer does have its "super hot" issue. Now it is merely warmish hot but not unlike the "super hot" it was before. Cocoa application such as Adobe CS and Microsoft Office are not as fast or snappish as the native application, the speed is comparable to 1Ghz G4 processor. I suppose it is the pitfall or running an emulator?
Does anyone else also experiencing the sleep issue problem? not able to put the laptop to a sleep mode?

Hi!
Yep, the trick with the PMU reset (5 second thinggy) could help. Also, try to reset your PRAM...reboot and hold down Apple-Option-P-R until it restarts again. Release the buttons and there you go...PRAM resetted. However, your date/time setting will be set back to a very early date.
For me, I had the same trouble and I found out that it came from the Migration Assistant which I used to move from my TiBookG4 to my new MBPRo. After transferring all data to the MBP, performance was down and sleep was merely impossible. Reformatting it and reinstalling it was my cure (although this might not be a solution for you).
The question here is : did you move an PowerPC apps via copy or migration assistant to your MBP? If not, do you have a virus checker installed that wants to download something in the background?
Also, check for the "wake for administrator on network" option in the Energy Saver control panel...HTH

    Have just purchased a new mac book pro, am now having issues syncing my apps to my new mac?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
    You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
    Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

  • Mac Book Pro Retina 2012 Battery Issue

    guys i wanted to ask about the mac book pro retina 2012 battery issue
    is it best to leave the laptop plug in charging all the time or let the laptop battery to have a full cycle all the time?
    my usage is mainly autocad and photoshop.
    i also have window 7 install on boot camp to play battlefield 3
    my mac book aged 12 weeks adn the battery loadcycles is 78
    Battery Capacity : 8259mAh
    Design Capacity :  8460mAh
    i also read on apple support saying it's advicable not to leave the laptop charge in. i ask on some forum some plug in all the time some perform full cycle.
    so which is the best procedure ( plug in all the time / perform full cycle ) so that the battery can last for 5 years.

    for light usage like web browsing, listneing songs, check mail,etc use battery right?
    You're right
    what's the best ideal to drain the battery ( use the battery until how many percentage ) 5% or 20% then charge it.
    in malaysia the reseller says 5%. but some says 20%
    I recommend to charge it at 20% and use all the battery until your Mac shuts down at least once a month. With this, you'll have a healthy battery

  • Mac Book Pro 13 inch Graphics Issue with Yosemite

    I have a major graphics issue with my Mac Book Pro mid 2010 after upgrading to Yosemite. I have a 2.66ghz with 8gb memory and 320M 256 MB NVIDIA graphics card. Since upgrading to Yosemite (after a clean install) I have had the following issue that are driving me crazy;
    When I use more than one program my screen displays large blocks of unrecognisable fuzziness. I have two screen working off my Mac Book Pro, one is the Apple 27 inch theatre screen.
    My system works slow despite have ample free memory available on my disk (over 150gb)
    It is becoming an increasing concern as this issue builds up over the day to the point where I need to reboot to fix, however as soon as I use Photoshop the system almost grinds to a halt. Other issues that are bearable but ned addressing include;
    Keyboard often does not work on startup and requires you to pull out the keyboard and reconnect (intermittent).
    Lost email when sent (intermittent). I had hoped that this would be fixed in this updated release.
    Laggy behaviour in general.
    I am hoping someone has an idea to fix these issues or are also sharing my frustration. Can someone suggest  fix as this is not a workable situation for Mac book Pro users and 2010 is not that of an old computer. Apple???

    So you erased your drive and installed  10.10 and then 10.10.1 and everything else was t hrough Setup Assistant, through reinstalls, or through TimeMachine restore?
    A four-year old laptop may be at the point where that small older gpu and processors have more trouble.
    you might want to hold off and go back to Mavericks or whatever you had - hopefully you cloned that system before doing clean install, upgrade to 16GB, maybe throw in an SSD... or save and get the next MacBook Pro to come out.
    And you checked your apps at http://www.roaringapps.com for compatibility.
    Might help just to see what if anything shows up in output from Etrecheck.
    Probably thought this was laptop MacBook Pro, it is not, probably best moved to Yosemite forum.

  • Mac Book Pro 13" Garbled Display Issue

    I got a Mac Book Pro 13" inches a couple of weeks ago, and this morning the first time I turned it on it displayed garbled graphics.
    It seems not be a GPU problem as I have connected an external monitor and it works perfectly fine.
    I have opened and double checked the connection to the MB and everything seems to be fine.
    Any suggestions on what to do or what the problem might be?

  • Mac Book Pro goes to sleep without warning

    Hello Everybody:
    I have a MacBook Pro 1.67 Ghz PowerPC G4, 512 MB SDRAM running 10.4.11. I have this problem. Sometimes, when working, the computer will go to sleep, and the only way to wake it is closing and opening the screen. That's the easy part. Other times, the only way to wake it would be to remove the battery, with all the trouble it implies (resetting the clock, time zone, language,). I'm about to upgrade to Leopard, but before I do that, I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas on what might be causing this problem, and if it will go away with the upgrade.
    Thanks a lot guys
    Luis

    You do not have a MacBook Pro. You have a Powerbook, so you may want to repost your question in the PowerBook forums:

  • Why do USB drives plugged into USB hubs make my Mac Book Pro (Retina late 2013) wake from sleep?

    I have 2 x USB hubs, a Logitech USB 2.0 hub and a Broway USB 3.0 hub. Tested both and both seem to be the cause of my late 2013 Mac Book Pro waking from sleep. I ran syslog to find out why (syslog |grep -i "Wake reason") and the reason I got back was "kernel[0] <Notice>: Wake reason: XHC1" - this means nothing to me, but it didn't take too much mucking about to hunt the problem down and figure out it was the USB hub with any USB drive attached. If the drive is attached directly to the computer. No problem, computer sleeps fine.
    This was a problem I encountered (and never solved) with OSX 10.6.8, a 2008 Macbook Pro the same Logitech USB 2.0 hub, but with different drives. I put the problem down to a bug that never got solved in an old system. But I am simply AMAZED after my update to a new MBP and new system that it is still about almost 6 years, a dozen MBP's and 4 systems later.
    The other problem is that not only does the USB drive/ USB hub combo wake the computer it also loses the drive upon sleep and mounts it again upon wake. Then repeats this process every couple of minutes. And it obviously doesn't eject the drives properly because each time I return to the computer after I put it to sleep or let it go to sleep I get a giant list of "Disk Not Ejected Properly" notifications about it. Which I'm guessing could eventually cause some file damage.
    I've tried combinations of different drives, different hubs (a Belkin and a no-name Chinese brand 2.0 hub) and the problem persists. Is there a solve to this problem? I'm surprised to see so little posts on forums about this. Am I just unlucky and got another combination of faulty/problematic hardware, or is this a real problem that exists for everyone? If not I would love to know if people have found winning combos of USB hubs and drives. But if it is, then it HAS to be solved.
    If you have a Macbook Pro, then you are limited to 2 USB outlets, this is obviously a bare minimum and I would say that 95% of people using their laptop computer in the office or at home have a hub, and very likely a USB drive attached to it. I know actual Apple reps don't really pay much attention to the community support posts, but I've got 6 months worth of Applecare left and would like suggestions about how to get Apple's attention about this problem.
    BTW Jettison (a 3rd party app that ejects drives properly before sleep) is not a solve. It is a 3rd party app that tries to fill a hole in a broken system. I don't want to eject my drive upon sleep, I want it to got the **** to sleep.

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • My mac book pro is loading in the mac logo, my mac book pro is loading in the mac logo

    Hello all,
    I have problem with my mac book pro first thing it was going dierctly to the mac os x Utilties then when I shut it down and turn it on it is just still loading in the
    mac logo. I tried Command +R nothing happened can you please help me with this.
    Thank you.

    If you hold down the Option key when lauching your Mac, you should see your Macintosh HD in the list. Select the drive.
    Either it's stuck in the wrong Startup Disk or you have issues with your current install of OS X. You might need to run Repair Drive and Repair permissions on the recovery drive. Then do a reinstall of  OS X.

  • Mac Book Pro won't restart after GPU Panic

    I have a 2010 Mac Book Pro with a known issue of GPU Panics, especially following Mavericks installation.
    Have been limping along with band aid solutions until I can get a new computer, but today, following a panic, the laptop won't restart.
    I press the start button, get the usual startup sound, get gray screen with Apple logo, gray spinning pinwheel for about 2 minutes, and the screen goes totally black. Machine still seems to be on, makes quiet noise.
    Any ideas on how I can get it to restart?

    Katharine,
    since you currently have Mavericks installed, you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it reach the login screen now? (Your screen going totally black is probably due to the GPU problem.)

  • I to use iphoto library manager to save corrupted iphoto and each time it saves some and the first time it brings up iphoto, iphone goes into "not responding" mode.  Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2.

    I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding."  Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......

    Do you have a back up?
    If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
    Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera.
