Macbook occasionally fails to wake from sleep

i have a new macbook (purchsed in july) which occasionally (every 1-2 weeks) fails to wake from sleep. it either hangs on the blue screen which first comes up when you switch it on, or on the black screen which normally follows shortly afterwards.
i regularly use it "closed", i.e., with an external screen and keyboard, but the problem seems also to happen occasionally when i switch it on without these peripherals.
any ideas?
i've also had dvd player crash once. it was in full screen mode, and i couldn't switch to any other applications or force quit dvd player, so again i had to cut power.
Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Having similar issues...not that it happens everyday ...it's very infrequent..but yeah im in the same boat..
As far as the computer being hot...
Go to :
System Preference--->Energy Savings
From there you should have the boxed check both on Battery power and AC Cord to put the Hard drive to sleep when possible..
Once i did this it never happened again(the closing of the lid and still running)
as far as the other issue??Help.!!Anyone?

  • IMac occasionally fails to wake from sleep mode

    This is a transient problem. Happens every 2-3 days that computer fails to wake up from sleep mode. Space bar doesn't do anything and I finally have to unplug it and reboot. I have a late 2008 iMac and am running Lion. It has started doing this after I installed Lion but doesn't seem to be related.

    It's tough to troubleshoot intermittent problems. You can try by restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt.

  • MacBook Pro will not wake from sleep

    My new 13" MacBook Pro will occasionally refuse to wake from sleep. Touching the keyboard or moving the mouse will turn on the keyboard background lights but the computer will not wake. This occurs without any peripherals attached.  I have reset the PRAM and the SMC ... no help.
    The only option for recovery is the hard power down with the power button and restart. Anyone else seeing this?

    Yes and I hate it. I am having pretty much the same problem, and have tried the same solutions, also Iupgraded to Lion and there still has been no relief. My computer just runs slower.

  • MacPro6,1 - Failing to wake from 'sleep'

    I have a MacPro6,1 which keeps failing to wake from 'sleep' is there a solution to stop this or is it a fault? considering I've only had it a few months i'm not impressed!

    Open  the Console app and see if you can find log errors at the time you try to wake the Mac.

  • Macbook air doesn't wake from sleep

    Since upgrading recently to Snow Lion my late 2010 Macbook Air won't wake from sleep mode. I have a second monitor. After sleeping I hbave to hit the ctrl-alt-power to get it to boot up which is does as a normal cold start. I have power sleep turned off. Ideas?

    Later today I disconnnected my 17 inch monitor and put the mAcbook Air to sleep from the Applpe menu. 1st thing, it didn't want to go to sleep. Finally it did. About 3 hiours later I opened the lid or hit space (I forget which) and the screen lit up to where I had left it.
    That woukld seem to suggest that somethihng is going on with the monitors preferences, or whatever, as before updating to Mountain Lion I had no sleep problems. What now? Reinstall Mountain Lion or?
    TIA, BIll

  • 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.

  • T410 fails to wake from sleep with 2nd Hard drive installed?

    Ever since I've installed a second hard drive in my T410, a Hitachi 250GB drive, my machine fails to wake from sleep (sometimes)... Then I have to do a hard reset.
    I had the same problem without the 2nd drive when I tried to use the HD Password in the BIOS and found out that it was something to do with the Crucial M4 drive I'm using. But this same problem is now happening ever since using the 2nd drive slot.
    Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and don't want to remove it based on this problem.
    T410(2537) -- i7 620M - Intel HD GPU (1440 x 900) - 8GB RAM - 128GB Crucial M4 SSD - 250GB Hitachi HDD - Windows 7 & 8 Pro
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well it seems the problem was caused by the firmware version for the SSD I've installed.
    The problem was resolved by updating the Crucial M4 SSD with the latest firmware.....
    ......and It solved the HD1 password issue too.

  • When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

    I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
    I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" ,  I thought is the same position like MBP15"
    I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
    Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!  
    P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

  • Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

    Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro (late 2009) 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 Pro Failed to wake from sleep

    Hello All,
    I've had my Mac Pro since Aug. 2007. Never had any problems of any kind until this morning.
    To wake from sleep (as I always do): depressed arrow key (10:43 AM). There was a delay - then the spinning beach ball for about 2 min. I did a hard shutdown, waited a bit, then restarted at 10:52 AM. Boot up was (as always) quick.
    I logged into my (usual) non-admin account and observed:
    When all start up items were loaded: Finder windows appeared approximately as follows:
    1. A window showing the (not sure of proper term) "internal folders" of main boot up volume.
    2. A window showing the internal folders stored on my mirrored RAID back up disk(s)
    3. A window showing the internal folders of my bootable back up.
    4. A window showing all 3 disk icons[ Main boot, Bootable backup and the RAID].
    I closed all of these windows. [Didn't think too much about it but it's not normal to have these widows appear] SO -
    Next:
    Then I logged out and logged into my admin account to check the system log with console.
    It showed an event from last night which I could not interpret but it did not appear to reveal serious problems (something about not being able to make network connection).
    But - the second item on the System Log showed the "wake from sleep" sequence (at 10:43 AM).
    I'm going to post the entire wake from sleep log below but first I'll state what was obvious to me:
    Startup of CPU #1, #2 and #3 appear first - there is NO #4 CPU!
    The log for the manual startup at 10:52 showed some apparent problems as I note below.
    Next: Once logged in as admin - I launched Activity Monitor just to assure myself that all four CPUs were at least registering - and they were / are.
    Hoping someone here can more thoroughly analyze this log report and give me an idea of the cause of the failure to waken.
    Naturally, I won't want to put the Mac Pro to sleep again until I'm sure this isn't a "permanent" problem requiring further action (including service, of course).
    Also noticed a statement about some app not having correct permissions (apparently at the System level) and something about removing several orphaned files. There's a warning about CarbonCopyCloner scheduled tasks as well. But there my understanding ends.
    Thanks in advance:

    Hello Alexandre,
    First - thank you very much for taking time to offer thorough and informed advice.
    However - as indicated in my last post, I have performed the first (and very basic) "test" - I checked to see if Xgrid was included in my network prefs and found that it was. I unchecked it because I don't have the setup to make use of processor resources on the other Mac I have in my home network. (And that other Mac is an old G4 eMac - not much help anyway!)
    More specifically: it's apparent that I was using Xgrid "inappropriately" so I think the System Log really indicates that no connection can be found -because there isn't one!
    I too still wonder about the "missing CPU 4" but, overall, I see no other indications that there's a problem. Activity Monitor shows all four CPU cores and they're all showing activity. I have not seen (or noticed) this in prior System Log reports so, if I see this again - I'll renew efforts to find it's significance and take appropriate action.
    I then put my Mac Pro to sleep, waited a bit, then depressed an arrow key: the machine woke from sleep normally. This "solves" the immediate problem of abnormal wakening - at least I'm satisfied that it does and will continue monitoring for any similar "misbehaviors."
    Power Management: I have purposely avoided doing anything with Power Management once I had it set to my liking. That is, I set the screen to sleep in 1 hour, I set the hard drive to "never" (sleep) and only use the Sleep menu command to put the Mac Pro to sleep. My dictum is to "not fix what isn't proved to be broken." Again - if I continue to have problems or new problems crop up, I will then go ahead and start making changes such as those you mention. (Like deleting com.apple.PowerManagemetn.plist)
    Next: I did already run permissions repair and may do so again anytime I see problems which could be connected to permissions. Since I have "taken Xgrid" out of the picture, I don't think this particular permissions issue is going to be a problem under my current set up.
    CarbonCopyCloner: Here we have a bit of a conundrum. I need! to keep CCC "available" to run scheduled back up tasks. I was given (a very expensive) 1TB wireless backup drive for Xmas and - through long trial and error - found that CCC is the most appropriate back up application for that drive.
    For now: I consider that the problem is a bug in CCC and will contact Mr. Bombich about this.
    Again: I do appreciate your pointing out this and the other things. You have helped me think through what could have been a very complex process in trouble shooting.
    I think that my issue turned out to be simple: I may have accidentally touched the wrong key or key combination when I moved to wake the Mac Pro from sleep. I think that Xgrid was a problem but that now seems to be eliminated. The Mac Pro is now waking normally - which was my original objective.
    Oh, and just to be clear: I forgot to mention above that I did re-examine the System Log and there are now no signs of the items in the log I posted originally here.

  • Macbook pro will not wake from sleep without shut down?

    My macbook pro 2007 will not wake from sleep without holding down start button and then restarting? Is this a serious problem?

    You can Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
    You can run the Disk Utility> Repair Disk from Recovery ( command R on start)
    if that does not sort it I would reinstall OS X

  • Computer won't start & fails to wake from sleep

    First post -- I have a 2009 HP Pavilion Elite w/Windows7. Good box & OS, never a problem until now. Started about a month ago w/the box not waking up from "sleep" -- no response (power light turned from amber to blue as usual but nothing else happens). Had to turn it off, but then won't come back on! After 10-15 minutes of repeated power-on button presses, it starts back up. Removing/reinserting the power cord during trys doesn't help. Occasionally it starts right up from sleep, but usually has this problem. Windows7 is up-to-date and no viruses or malware detected. HP or Microsoft diagnostics show no issues.
    I opened the box to clean out dust -- also took off the CPU heatsink (really dusty) & cleaned it too. Fans rotate easily & aren't an issue.
    So now I have "sleep mode" turned off, but occasionly the box has to be turned off & afraid it won't come back on. I've seen some of the HP videos & will try shorting the two start-up pegs on the MBoard, but the power-switch was hardly ever used & I seriously doubt that's the problem -- it wouldn't have anything to do w/the sleep-wakeup problem. Any suggestions?

    Hello @beng1,
    I understand that your desktop computer is not able to wake from sleep mode, or power on intermittently. I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To enable your system to successfully wake from sleep mode, I recommend following the steps in this document on Troubleshooting sleep and hibernate issues (Windows 7).
    Additionally, I also recommend following the steps below to restore the power settings on your computer:
    Step 1. Click the Start button
    Step 2. In the search box, type "Command Prompt"
    Step 3. Right-click Command Prompt
    Step 4. Click Run as administrator
    Step 5. At the command prompt, type powercfg /restoredefaultschemes and press Enter 
    In regards to the computer not powering on, I suggest following this resource on Computer Does Not Start (Windows 7). This should help enable your computer to consistently power on.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • Late 2010 macbook air slow to wake from sleep

    Hi, my late 2010 macbook air running mountain lion is slow to wake from sleep, so when i lift the lide the screen is unreactive and it take approx a minute before I am able to enter my password, I am just wondering if anyone else had had this problem and has any solutions because its annoying, I have also noticed that when my macbook is on charge this doesn't happen!
    Thanks!!

    Hi shaners2491!
    I would suggest that you attempt to reset a part of your computer's software called the System Management Controller. Information on doing this can be found here:
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • MacBook won't automatically wake from sleep after flipping computer open.

    The only way my computer both goes to sleep and wakes from sleep is by clicking on the Apple icon and putting it to sleep before closing the lid and by pressing the power button after opening the lid. If I just close the lid without first clicking on "Sleep" under the Apple icon, the computer will continue to run and the Apple on the lid will continue to be lit while the sleep indicator light does not go on. If I just open the lid and do not press the power button, the screen will continue to be black and the sleep indicator light continues to glow. I'm not sure if I reset a system preference or something by mistake, but is there a way to fix this? Or is this an indication of a bigger problem?
    Additionally, when my computer is asleep and I unplug my charging iPod, it wakes from sleep (the sleep indicator light goes black while the Apple on the back of the screen lights up). Is this an indication of a bigger problem?
    My computer is only about 7 months old, so I am a bit worried if it is starting to show wear and tear already. Thank you for your help!

    You're welcome to the Forums.
    Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver, and set a time for your System to sleep.
    Set both sliders to 10 or 15mins to nod off, when Inactive.
    It's never a good idea to plug in or out, while the Computer is sleeping. If someone pokes at your ear while you're sleeping, you'll wake up too.
