Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

Mac Book pro slow to wake from sleep
Hi , Sometimes when I leave my mac book pro and it goes to sleep (screen goes black when lid open) it takes a while to wake from sleep again - sometimes up to 30-40 seconds? This seems very odd for an expensive machine that is around 6 months old and something that never used to happen with my old powerbook G4. It doesn't happen all the time but regularly. Should I be worried? Any help greatly appreciated!
I'm curious if you ever found a solution for this issue. I recently purchased the SanDisk Extreme II 480GB, replacing my OWC Extreme Pro 240GB. The OWC never experienced the "slow to wake" issue whereas the SanDisk drive does, consistently. To make sure I'm having the same symptoms, this is what happens to me: Put the mac to sleep (either manually or letting it do it on its own, waiting for the led to pulse showing that it is asleep), then wake it up (press a key on the keyboard), the logon screen shows almost immediately but as soon as I try to type the pinwheel/beach ball shows up, I wait between 20 and 30 seconds and then I'm able to type and all is well.
I contataced SanDisk and their support was horrible. They simply told me "contact MAC for this issue" (no joke, not "contact Apple" but "contact MAC", in all caps). I explained that it works fine with the OWC drive just not the SanDisk. They replied with another article showing that all macs have trouble waking from sleep (not true). I replied again indicating that I've never had this issue with any of my 3rd party drives, only this SanDisk. Then the replied simply stating that all mac's have issues with 3rd party hard drives when waking from sleep. At this point I threw a fit and yelled at my screen, even though it wasn't my screens fault.
In any case, their support has not been willing to do any actual troubleshooting. I'd love to return it and I might have to - but as you stated, it's annoying to have this issue but the performance is fine the rest of the time.
Thanks for any input you have.

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard
If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.Mike Doolin wrote:

Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates
G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
I only have a single monitor.
I tried:
o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
o Resetting NVRAM
o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
o Changing the display resolution a few times
o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered. -
OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.
Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.
I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple. -
Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

> during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something. You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape. If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar. This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar. Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed. If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present. When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal? -
Mac Book Pro won't wake when its been charging.
I have had this problem for some time now. When I charge my Mac Book Pro over night. The next time I use it, It won't wake up for sleep mode and I have to restart the computer. Was wondering if there has been problems with this too. If so is thier a fix for this. I'm running MacBook Pro (mid 2012) with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9).
This is a BUG in Mavericks and or the Mac hardware. It goes into Standby mode after an extended period of inactivity and then Crashes when trying to come out of Standby mode completely Hanging the system and making you have to Restart it.
There is quit a long thread on this subject. -

Power Mac G4 Quicksilver Won't Wake From Sleep
I have a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 933MHz that will not wake up after it goes to sleep. It is currently running OS X 10.3, has had its hard drive replaced, system reinstalled, and been DiskWarrior'd. Haven't tried replacing the PRAM battery yet but get no indication its dead (clock keeps time wen off). It always connected to an Apple 17" Cinema Display--could that be the source of the problem?
Hi, Toolshed4!
Third Party USB devices and USB PCI cards are notorious potential culprits for no wake from sleep issues so please follow japamac's lead and look at them as potential culprits. Disconnect the external peripherals and test sleep/wake. Swap a third party keyboard and/or mouse with your Apple one(s) and test. Remove any PCI cards, and test. (It's perhaps good practice to reset the PMU after you add or remove an internal component.)
A Cinema Display, especially one with a built-in USB port or hub problem, could create an issue, though it would more likely to be one of not sleeping, rather than not waking. You might quickly check your system log for possible indicators of USB issues with the Display, if you have reason to suspect that its ports may not be functioning properly.
Resetting NVRAM in Open Firmware sometimes resolves the issue. Resetting your PMU as japamac suggested will take care of the NVRAM reset for you.
If the above didn't resolve things, please continue on...
Corrupt Energy Saver preferences are sometimes the cause. Quit System Preferences if it's opened and navigate to /Library/Preferences/System Configuration (folder) and delete the following preference files:
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(The AutoWake plist file may or may not be present, depending on whether or not you have/had scheduled sleep settings.)
Then navigate to ~/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist preference file. Restart and test sleep again.
If your battery is old, it's a good idea to just get a new one. The worst that can happen is that you'll have a spare when you need it. They're about $5 online. If you go to Radio Shack with the one you have, they'll test it for you. Alternately, put a voltmeter on it and insure that you're reading at least 3.3 volts DC. New ones read 3.6 - 3.9 volts.

Mac Book Pro won't start from hard drive when turned on
I have a new 15 in Mac Book Pro with 10.8.1. When I turn it on it always boots to the disk utilities rather than my harddrive. I select my startup disk and reboot. It starts fine. But when I shut it off the same sequence repeats. I have verified my drive and selected the hard drive as my startup disk.
What is happeneing? What should I try?Step by Step to fix your Mac

This Intel iMac is about six years old, has had the motherboard replaced by Apple. Today we had an electrical failure, and it was asleep at the time. It refused to wake from sleep, and it seems to start up, but the screen stays black. I tried zapping the PRAM, shutting it down and turning off the surge protector, etc. . . and still, nothing. Any thoughts?
If http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) does not work and you are comfortable working in the Terminal, try the following:
Enter into the Terminal the following: sudo pmset autopoweroff 0 and sudo pmset standby 0
If you like the hibernation, you can switch it back on by re-entering the commands with 1's instead of 0's. You can even change the amount of time by adjusting "autopoweroffdelay" and "standbydelay". -

28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel USB (OHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x6 has remote wakeup from some device
I'm wondering if others have seen this and if so know of a solution. At the moment I'm stuck with having to shutdown my iMac every time I leave it. Thanks.Here is a solution that should work:
1. Turn off all Bluetooth devices connected to your computer.
2. Make sure Bluetooth icon in the Menu Bar is black (BT is On) and BT is not connected to anything
3. Plug in a USB mouse
4. Go to System Preferences>Bluetooth>Advanced
5. The option to "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" should now be uncheckable>Uncheck it and click OK
6. Turn on your Bluetooth devices and let them connect to your Mac
7. Try and put your Mac to sleep and then wake with the power button
8. Check if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (it should be)
9. Try and restart your Mac and check again if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (I had mixed results with this test, depending on the type of the Mac being tested)
Anyhow, this way you should be able to uncheck the option that causes the issue and it should not get checked again by itself unless you restart your computer and maybe even after that. If it does get checked again after reboot, just get used to putting your Mac only to sleep until a fix from Apple is available or repeat the above process after every reboot if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Mac Pro won't wake from sleep on SSD boot drive
MacPro is unresponsive awaking from sleep, regardless of what is running. I've put my system & apps on a 120G Mercury Extreme Pro 2.5", with my data residing on SATA. So far, I've reset PRAM, had logic board replaced thru Apple Care, archived & reinstalled, and am currently trying to resolve with a level 2 tech, although scheduling calls is becoming prohibitive & frustrating. Have been at it for 5 weeks. Installed system onto SSD using CarbonCopy Cloner from SATA. Mac is a mid 2010 Refurb 2.66. Any insight would be helpful.
I'm using a OWC 120GB SSD on my mac pro with no problems.
I recall that sometime back sometime after I got my SSD there was a report (like this one) that Sandforce-based SSD's (like OWC's) had some sleep-related problem associated with hibernate mode. There was supposed to be a firmware update but I don't know if it ever was released. If it was it was certainly after I got my SSD.
At any rate, type,
pmset -g
in the terminal and see if it says hibernatemode is 0. If it's non-zero change it to 0,
sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 -
Power Mac G4 MDD won't wake from sleep mode
I have a Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25GHz with a 15" Apple display and running 10.4.
I can not wake the computer up from the sleep mode. It will not respond to the mouse moving, a mouse click, a keyboard key, the power button on the display or the power button on the computer.
The only thing I can do is force the computer off by holding in the power button (on display or computer) and restarting the computer.
The computer is set to go to sleep after 1 hour of no use (or the issue happens if I put it to sleep).
Any thoughts would be great.This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
Here is KB article HT1776 with their tips.
Mine follow;
USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.If you've set your Mac to receive faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Receive Faxes On This Computer box.
If that doesn't work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
Hope this helps!
P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
"I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
Also, here is Apple doc.#305262 about PCI cards and sleep.
tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
Tristan Currier noticed this; "I have a Canon printer(shared) and my imac would not sleep. I opened up printer/fax in system prefs and noticed it said the printer was in use when it was off. Opened up the printer queue and noticed about 7 pending documents. Deleted them all and now it sleeps.
Check the printer queue!"
Good Luck! DALE -
MacBook pro won't wake from sleep must remove battery
We have an early 2008 15" C2D MacBook pro. Frequently when we put it to sleep, it won't wake up. It doesn't respond to the power button. We have to pull the battery, wait a few minutes reinstall it and reboot.
What should we check out? Or are we better off taking it to the Store and getting it fixed. It's under Applecare.When my late 2007 C2D MBP started doing that, it was after traveling with the computer. I finally reviewed the system log to find that, on attempting to wake, the computer was looking for the network at a hotel where we had stayed.
I opened System Preferences > Network, selected "Airport" and clicked on "Advanced." On the first tab is a list of networks the computer has remembered. I found the hotel network name and deleted it, along with about a dozen other now-remote networks accumulated during travel. I also unchecked "Remember any network this computer has joined."
Works fine now. All that show are the two local networks I use the most: one for home and another for a museum where I volunteer.
Easy to try, although I agree with tjk to have the Apple Store document the issue in case it proves to be something more sinister.

Time Constraint: Record exists at least once from minumum to maximum
Can anyone explain to me what this means? To me it implies that you should have at least one entry, however, I cannot add multiple entries for the same BP for any other time interval. Many thanks David

A Folder "Apple Security_files" is on my desktop. where should I move it?
I have a powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.6. I also have OS X 10.2.7 on an external hard drive. This is because my Epson perfection 3170 scanner will not work with 10.4 but did work with 10.2 and I'm trying (unsucessfully) to use it. (But that is anoth
