Mac Os x 10.5.5 will sleep but doesn't like to wake up. Help please.

Whenever my macbook goes to sleep I need to do a hard shutdown after because an error message comes up telling me I need to restart it in about six languages. After I do so I get another message saying Mac Os x quit unexpectadly. I have the option to ignore or report. I have read on other threads about how you have to wait to close the screen and all that. I've tried.
Mine gets into this situation if i click the apple and then click sleep and then leave it sitting just as it was when i was using it. When I come back I need to do a hard shutdown. How do i resolve this? It is also still under warranty.

Thank you for the responses. I have tried to get the update multiple times, but when it finishes downloading and begins the install the progress bar gets stuck about a quarter of an inch into it and my macbook will sit like that for days. I gave up hope for it.
I will try running the install discs to clear the errors.
I just bought my macbook in august of 2008 and I've already run into this problem and I have totally given up hope for my firewire port.
Do either of you happen to know anyone or had problems with your/their mac's this soon?
And how do i get in touch with Apple by phone without paying for the call? I'm not one for paying alot of money and getting screwed on it so I would like to talk to them.

Mac Pro screen will sleep but not the HD!? ..could it be 10.5.6..?

Hello Wonderful People..
I've have recently discovered that my Mac Pro will sleep but only the screen,not the HD!? If I'm correct, this might have only started since updating to 10.5.6, but I'm not entirely sure!
Any ideas..?

..can't find a way to delete this post! All magically is ok again..?

hp photosmart c4480 using with mac OS X 10.9.4 will scan but not save or send. says: could not be written to check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read only.

Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus 3.0) is recognised by my iMac but will not pair? I have paired it with my iPad using code 8310 but it still will not pair with my iMac. Can someone help please?

My bluetooth keyboard (Macnus brand - bought recently in Thailand)(similar to Mac small keyboard) will pair with my iPad using code 8310,and is recognized by my iMac but will not pair?
There are very scant instructions with the keyboard and no mention of any code (the code was prompted by my iPad).
I have followed the instructions but it still will not pair with my iMac!
Can anyone help please?
My iMac is 20 inch Mid 2007 OSX10.9.1 4GB RAM

Hi All, thank you for you suggestions. I have been unable to find any website for the maker, but have looked at several Thai/cambodian sites incl <http://www.buycoms.com/Article/8435/index.asp> which mentions the keyboard being suitable for tablet or windows. No mention of iMac! although the box is branded to indicate Mac compatable.
I'm thinking that maybe it just will not pair with an iMac.
Ill keep looking for the maker website, which might come on later in the future? maybe?
thanks again.

Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

We need to know more about your system, please download EtreCheck and run the report and please post it on your next reply. Then we can see how your system is configured, what apps are on it and look for anything obvious. We will look forward to seeing your report.

Written by: Disabled: iPad connect to iTunes, no one computer will be synced down, I know the password! Help please!

If it's showing the disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a computer that it hasn't been synced to :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

Mac Pro Snow Leopard Display will Sleep but Computer will not Sleep

Equipment:
Mac Pro Tower
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
30" Cinema Display
The computer has not been able to fully go to sleep since I bought it. (A refurb, but not from Apple's refurb store.)
As the title says, the display goes to sleep but the computer is still on. (Whether I select Sleep from the Apple menu, or with a keystroke.)
"Wake for network access" is not checked in the System Prefs.
I've disconected everything (inc. the monitor) from the back of the computer and the computer still won't go to sleep.
Reset PRAM and the "System Controller (the move where you power down, unplug the computer, press/hold the powder button for 5 seconds, plug in computer and start up).
I installed the PleaseSleep and the DeepSleep apps, but still no-sleep.
From Console, for the Sleep command:
11/6/12 4:51:32 PM
configd[15]
Sleep: Success - AC - Software Sleep
com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.powermanagement.sleep
com.apple.message.signature: Success
com.apple.message.value: 1
com.apple.message.result: Success
com.apple.message.uuid: A3270153-6D75-4639-8125-3B105B537BCB
Then from when I touched the keyboard to "wake":
11/6/12 4:51:32 PM
configd[15]
Wake: Success - AC
com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.powermanagement.wake
com.apple.message.signature: Success
com.apple.message.uuid: A3270153-6D75-4639-8125-3B105B537BCB
com.apple.message.result: Success

"I was not able to use the system disks 'cos the image on the screen appears completly distorted and i am not able to navigate the menus."
Never ran across that type of problem on Apple's message boards.
"I have temporarily fixed that using a ten days trial version of SwitchRes X. Everything works fine now but the Display preferences panel from MacOs, wich stays "in coma"."
In that case, are you now able to boot off your install DVD? If so, run the +"repair disk"+ option, when done boot back to desktop & run repair permissions.
"So i guess it's not a hardware problem, but a Snow Leopard Problem."

New y580 will sleep but not wake

Hello,
I just received my new y580 today and it would seem every time it goes to sleep, I can't wake it up. The blinking power button glowscontinuously a after I press it but the screen is black and no activity. I tried everything I could think of but hard reset is the only option. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
P.s. it was like that out of the box. I have not installed any software.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The initial call was made at about 9:15 AM PDT 8/16/12 and I did not make note of the rep's name. After suggesting I disable sleep mode in power settings, he took my contact information and the call ended.
I made another call to support at 7:30 PM PDT and spoke with Rachael. We engaged in a remote control session checking various settings. Since this is a 2-day old computer and nothing to lose, she concluded a OKR to factory restore was the best option. I had to interrupt the call to attend a family matter.
Next call to support at 10:30 PM PDT, I spoke with Jessie. He reviewed the information recorded by the previous support reps and walked me through the OKR process. Once it began, he instructed me to let it complete, reboot, walk through initial setup, and try waking from sleep again before installing any software. The call ended.
The recovery process completed successfully in about 15 minutes. I started the computer up and went through the initial setup procedure, allowed the computer time to fully start up, and idle. I put the computer to sleep but sadly, the problem still exists. I could not wake the computer and had to hard-reset.
Next call to support at about 10:55 PM PDT, I spoke with Joe. He informed me I had a couple choices. I could send the computer out for warranty repair or since it was so new, I could send it back to Lenovo for exhange or refund and gave me the appropriate contact information which I will follow up on tomorrow.
I am rather disappointed that this type of hardware issue could make it past QA and into the customer's hands. But with the exception of the first representative to whom I spoke, I would like to extend my gratitude to all the customer support reps mentioned above for their help. I will keep my fingers crossed that the next computer works as it should.

Hey Babetta94,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

If you have an iPod touch:

For Mac OS X: See iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Have a nice day,

My computer sleeps, but doesn't

When I close my laptop, the computer seems to go to sleep: the hard drive winds down and the light begins to pulse. But the console log suggests otherwise. Any thoughts? I have unchecked "wake for network access," have Bluetooth turned off, and nothing in the USB ports.

I fixed the problem. When I was trying to clean the connector of the iPhone I must have bent some pins. I have straightened them to the best of my ability and now it syncs. If your iPhone charges, but doesn't sync, most likely you have a similar problem, because the iPhone doesn't need all of its pins to charge, but it does need all of them to sync.

Mac Os x 10.5.5 will sleep but doesn't like to wake up. Help please.
