Mac crashing from sleep since 10.8.5

Since updating to 10.8.5 my imac has been crashing from sleep. The past 2 nights I put my imac to sleep and when I wake up in the morning the computer is already awake before me with an error saying "unable to load disc" or something like that. I have to get it to reproduce it again so I can share the exact error. Anyone else having this issue?
This is happening on my new late 2012 imac fully loaded. 32gb ram, 3.4ghz i7, 3tb fusion, 680mx graphics 2gb

I don't have this issue, which is strange because usually when Apple software sneezes, my computer gets the flu. I'm using a MacBook Pro though so maybe the issue only affects desktops - I've seen a few posts on forums regarding other iMacs and Mac minis. My guess is, that this is a glitch in the software causing a power issue. You can try resetting your SMC (System Management Controller), which is usually a quick fix to power issues - but my guess is that Apple will adress this issue shortly. Resetting your PRAM may also help, if the issue is non-power related.
Instructions on resetting your SMC can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964

  • Crash from sleep in Yosemitie

    Since I have upgraded my MacMini to Yosemite, my Mac Mini crashes when it wakes from sleep.
    I have it set to sleep from 1 AM until 8 AM.
    When I get home from work, it is at the login screen, and when I log in, it says that the system crashed, did I want to send the info to Apple.
    Looking at the log, I can see it crashed from sleeping mode.
    Ideas? Fixes?
    Thanks

    John,
    Do you have a speaker connected to the headphone jack? If so unplug it and see what happens. look for my post about the same problem.

  • My mac wakes from sleep on its own?

    Hi all, for some reason my mac wakes from sleep overnight, not quite sure at which time it does this but I have found the computer awake and up and running in the morning for a few days now?
    any ideas why it would wake itself up?
    cheers, Robert

    98% likely one of your USB devices is waking it up. Do you have a USB hub attached or a bunch of USB devices (drives, other doodads) attached? The console tip above may help tell you which one it is

  • Aluminum Keyboard won't wake Mac mini from sleep (sometimes)

    I just bought the new aluminum keyboard (wired). Its great, and looks amazing next to my mac mini......except it won't wake mac mini from sleep sometimes. When this occurs, I can tap on any key but the machine won't wake up. The only work around I have is to attach my ipod, which wakes the mini. Oddly this only happens sometimes. I can't isolate any other variable which may be influencing this behavior.
    I'm running leopard and didn't think I needed to install the 1.2 keyboard software update.
    I called Apple support, and they told me the problem is that I'm using a non-apple mouse (I have a microsoft optical wired mouse connected to the keyboard's USB port). I don't believe them as i've used this mouse connected to my previous Apple keyboard for years and never had a problem.
    Can anyone help?

    Regrettably, I can't offer a solution to the problem stated in the title. Instead, I experience the same problem.
    Wireless Mighty Mouse circa 2007
    Wireless Apple Keyboard circa 2007
    Bluetooth dongle (a bluetooth thingy connected to a USB port)
    Things worked fine until an upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard. Following the upgrade there were several mouse related issues. Those were resolved. One issue remains: waking by use of mouse or keyboard.
    The setup (Same for keyboard and mouse)
    System Preferences --- Bluetooth --- Keyboard Connected --- Keyboard Paired. The "Discoverable" box is checked.
    Digging deeper
    System Preferences --- Bluetooth --- Advanced --- "Allow Bluetooth device to wake this computer" --- This option is unchecked and is greyed out, inaccessible. Two of the other options are checked and available: the options about opening the Bluetooth assistant and the one about prompting incoming audio.
    I've searched other posts. However, many of the other posts seem to conflate this Wake/Sleep issue with various connection issues. Thus, the advice given is a bit confusing to this amateur. Might one of you experts have a solution to this annoying little problem?
    Thanks for your interest.

  • Why is Firefox 4 freezing when I wake my Mac up from sleep?

    I just upgraded to FF 4. Every time I wake my Macbook Pro up from sleep mode (from having put it to sleep/closing the lid, with FF still running), FF freezes. This only began happening since I upgraded 2 days ago.
    It doesn't crash. Every other program that was running before works just fine, the mouse works, keyboard, etc. But FF appears frozen, won't actually open new URLs (it just sits there after I've typed a new URL or tried to use one of the tabs I had open from before putting it to sleep), and each time I've had to force quit FF and re-open, and then it works fine.
    This was not an issue with FF 3.
    Any ideas? I looked around for similar questions in the forum but only saw posts about FF crashing, not freezing.

    it's not a profile issue. or a concurrent firefox process issue.

  • IPod 4G always mounts for disk use when Mac wakes from sleep

    My 4G iPod is always mounting for disk use when my Mac (10.4.8, Dual 1.8 GHz G5) wakes from sleep, even though the settings for the iPod has "enable disk use" unselected. When I launch iTunes (latest version) the iPod promptly is unmounted. I have restored factory settings, I have reinstalled the computer's OS and iTunes with it.
    What is going on and how can I make it normal?
    Dual 1.8 GHz G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes 7.1, iPod 4G 20GB

    UPDATE:
    I have started to turn off Bluetooth at night before I put my computer to sleep. I HAVE NOT HAD THE FIREWIRE RANDOM DISMOUNT PROBLEM SINCE. I do not know if this is a freak coincidence -- but so far, so much the better for my firewire drive.
    Hope this helps someone else down the line... eh hem...

  • Monitor won't wake from sleep since 10.4.8 update

    Since upgrading to 10.4.8 my display (Dell 2405FPW) wouldn't wake up from sleep mode (overnight only) and I'd just get a black screen (although it sounded like the CPU was powering up and working fine) ... but after visiting some Apple discussions I've done some troubleshooting ... and today, the Monitor DID finally wake up from sleep ... but the display was a pixelated mess(!?)
    To date I have verified and repaired all permissions. I've zapped the PRAM. I've RESET the SMU and the NVRAM and I have deleted the PowerManagement.plist ... but this problem still persists, and it requires a restart to correct (which is maddening) Could it be an extension conflict? The video card? Power Supply? Sounds like a LOT of ibook and iMac folks are experiencing the very same problem.

    Interesting, You, like me, have an undetermined sleep problem and a Dell 2405 FPW monitor with a built in USB 2 hub. Temporarily substitute another monitor to see it the problem persists. Also, did your G5 require a new PCI graphics card?
    An ATI Radeon 9600 (PC/MAC Pro) PCI graphics card was installed on mine to handle that large screen Dell. Generally the system works again with a hard restart if it can't wake from sleep--try pushing the tower's front power button for more than 8 seconds and repeat this 8 sec restart if sleep persists. Mine sometimes goes to deep sleep even if the Energy Saver panel shows computer sleep "Never". Since the Dell was designed for a PC the Mac's auto detect mechanism for the sleep state of online monitors may be fooled by something in the design of the Dell monitor--only a theory--my Dell 2405 sometimes goes black and on again with mouse movements even though my sleep corner is turned off. I think I'll try a 24 hours with only my second Sony 17 inch monitor plugged into the card.
    Is the USB cable from the Dell USB hub still plugged in? Was your G5 originally equiped with USB 2 ports or did you add a PCI USB 2.0 card? The Dell hub is USB 2.0 and it is logical, maybe even critical, to plug your high speed peripherals and the Dell hub in a USB 2 card while retaining original USB 1.1. ports for your wired keyboard (wireless keyboard might also be a problem) and other powerless (or AC plugged) peripherals--cameras etc.
    This may also be a PCI card problem as I had a lesser problems with sleep even before I bought the DEll 2405 FPW and had only PCI SCSI and USB 2 cards from Adaptec. I 'll keep looking for solutions. Post if you find any. For further info see:

  • Freeze when waking from sleep since 10.4.11

    Ever since updating to 10.4.11, My MBP locks up upon waking from sleep. It's the same problem I've had for months. The screen freezes and I get a spinning beach ball and the hard drive clicks. It usually happens when scrolling web pages in Safari, but it also happens at other times, but not as frequently. It happens a second time and the entire system seizes up. No crash log is generated. Anyone else seeing this?

    I ran AHT and TechTool Deluxe 3.1.1 again and both reported no hard drive problems. I'm fully backed up and I'm calling Apple Care tomorrow. I'm concerned because I have one of the problematic Seagate hard drives; serial number and firmware match the troublemakers. Back over the summer, I called Apple Care about this and they suggested I rename my existing ~/Library/Preferences folder and restart to create all new pref files. This seemed to work for about two-three weeks.

  • Equium U300-151 crashes from sleep or hibernate when WLAN is switched on

    I have a new Equium U300-151. BIOS V3.80 and Intel wireless version 11.5.0.32 (which seems to be the latest driver). Vista SP1
    When resuming work from sleep or hibernate mode the laptop always crashes if the wireless switch is on.
    I am aware this is a problem that is discussed in a number of forums but apart from hopeful references to SP1 and drivers I have not come across a solution. SP1 does not seem to have helped resolve my problem.
    Any answers - thanks.

    Hi
    I never noticed such issue on my notebooks and to be honest I didnt find any similar cases here in the forum.
    From my knowledge the new BIOS update is available for this unit on the Toshiba driver page.
    I would recommend downloading the right and compatible BIOS and to perform the update.
    Hopefully it helps.

  • Back to my mac. wake from sleep.

    is it possible to wake a remote computer from sleep.

    Within my airport network using Wake on Lan I can wake my cube (OS 10.4) which is connected by ethernet to a remote airport extreme but when I try to do the same with my mac mini the airport is recognised but not the computer. Looks like a glitch in WoL preventing this ay least with the settings I have tried so far. I can however wake it with Wake 550 with the ethernet card address.
    So, at least within a home network I can wake macs on 10.4 and 10.5. Not tried it from outside yet.

  • WiFi-Network Issue After Installing Updates, When I turn my mac on from sleep. Help..

    I recently installed updates on my MacBook Pro Lion and after installing MacBook Pro WFI Firmware Updat 2.2 and Thunderbolt Software Update 1.0, when I put my mac on sleep and come back, my mac will not connect to my network automatically. I have to turn off WiFi and turn back on in order for me to connect again. I didnt have this issue before installing these updates. Can anyone help me with this? Is it a software issue or hardware issue with my mac?

    I'm very angry about this. This has been ongoing for quite a while, and the past several point updates (10.7.1 and 10.7.2 haven't fixed it.) I'm on 10.7.2 and still having this problem 100% of the time when I wake my 15" 2010 MacBook Pro from sleep by opening the lid. Even thought it's connected to the same network (Airport Express, fully updated) when I close and open it, WIFI does not reconnect, and I have to manually turn it off and on again before it will work.
    I'm not the only angry one about this though. Do a search on the Apple Communities forums for "macbook pro lion wifi sleep" to see many other users with the same problem.

  • Waking Mac up from "sleep"

    iMac successfully goes to "sleep" pursuant to preferences set. However, whenever I return and touch a key or click the mouse, iMac starts to awaken then shuts down leaving me with a message that I need to restart the computer. Is there a prescribed way to awaken the computer from "sleep" mode that I'm not aware of?

    You experienced a phenomenon known as a kernel panic. This might be a hardware issue (especially with Intel Macs) so try Apple Hardware Test (run from the installation disc for Mac OS X that reads something like "To startup in Apple Hardware Test, hold down [key] when you start your computer" or something like that) and note the results here.

    Hi all
    Finally went to the Genius Bar to ask the question as nothing has worked.  They said I needed to reset my PRAM.  I did it (Following these instructions... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 ) and it worked.
    So relieved....it was really annoying me. 
    Hope this helps others with the same issue.
    Thanks
