Macbook pro automatically wakes itself up from sleep on its own!

I'm a pretty experienced user, but I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening. I run my mbp in clamshell mode connected to an external monitor, and every night I sleep it. I've had no problems with this setup for the last two years. However, in the last few weeks, every time I sleep my mac, it will wake up by itself again after about 10 minutes of sleeping. If I try to make it sleep again after the first time it wakes up by itself, it stays asleep for the rest of the night until I wake it up again in the morning. Totally strange. I've restarted, repaired permissions, etc, but it still does it. I don't think I've installed any new software that would cause this to happen. I think I just installed 1password recently and that's it. Also, to make sure it wasn't network or bluetooth activity doing this, I disabled "wake for network actiivity" in energy saver and I disabled my bluetooth. But, it still does it. Could it be a peripheral that's doing this? I haven't added any recently. I'm trying to figure out if the console log can help me, but I don't see anything that indicated what made the mac wake from sleep by itself. Below I've pasted the log for when the time just before I slept the mac and the time after it woke itself up last night. Maybe one of you can tell what app/process is doing this. Or maybe you can direct me to another system log that might give me more info?

Certain settings, e.g. printer sharing, can prevent timed sleep. If it's a brand new Mac and you migrated a fair amount of data from a previous computer, Spotlight may still be indexing. There are other possibilities as well. See this kbase article:

Firefox is unresponsive when I open my Macbook Pro or wake it up from sleeping. Is there a fix for this problem?

Whenever I open up my Macbook Pro, Firefix is unresponsive. I can see all of my tabs, but nothing (except the top pull-down menus) are clickable. If I wait a few minutes it seems to work again, but I usually have to force quit. Anyone else have this problem?

Firefox uses plugin-container.exe to run Flash and other plugins. The theory is that if the plugin were to crash, it would not crash all your tabs, just any active plugins. Are you getting a message that a plugin crashed?
If I understand the problem correctly, Firefox is hanging or freezing when trying to open a link, and you are exiting Firefox, after which it won't start up again until you kill firefox.exe in the Task Manager.
Have you noticed any pattern to when Firefox freezes or stalls?
How are you exiting Firefox (for example, from the menu vs. red X button vs. Ctrl+Alt+Delete)?
In case you haven't seen it, this article might be useful: [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]].

MacBook Pro 15" Late 2008 will not sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro will sleep just fine if I close the lid or select sleep from the Apple menu. It won't, however, ever fall asleep on its own. I've tried resetting the SMC to no avail. Any suggestions as to what I should look for?

Macbook Pro (Retina mid 2012) going to sleep on its own

Did some web searches here and elsewhere and saw no list of affected users.
This wasn't happening before Yosemite, and pretty sure it was happening before latest update (10.10.1).
I'll be using my MBP (2.3Ghz i7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) and the screen will go black. Could be in the middle of surfing, typing, etc., doesn't matter. The only way I can wake it is to wait for it to fully sleep (i.e., no more noise heard), plug in to power, and hitting the power button long enough to wake (a second, not 2 seconds which would reboot).
Anyone else seeing this random sleep behavior? Any suggestions?

Eric - I dont understand how I'd use caffeinate. I am not running any code or particular script. My system goes to sleep if surfing the web, or running Word or Excel, etc.
Or.. Are you saying I should go through and type 'caffeinate X' for all of my applications?

Macbook pro screen dims after waking from sleep?

Does anyone know why my macbook pro screen dims when waking from sleep or waking from my screen saver? I can't get it to stop doing this. Thanks.

It sounds like I have the same thing happening. It's more like the colors are washed out, like there is less contrast. I have a hot corner set up for my screen saver. Once I activate the screen saver for a second and then deactivate it, the Macbook screen goes back to normal. I have a 30" Samsung 305T monitor set up as a second (main) screen for when I'm working at home, which is most of the time. I haven't had it unplugged from the Macbook since this started, so I don't know if it happens by itself. I do know that the Samsung looks fine when waking up from the screen saver at the same time.
I tried to find others with this problem in this forum, but got tired of looking through all the other posts that had nothing to do with this problem.
Can anyone help us?

HP Photosmart 7525 e wakes up from sleep on its own hourly.

My Hp Photosmart 7525 wakes up from sleep mode approx. every hour. It is set up as wireless and usb. is there some setting or update that I need to apply to fix this problem?

Hi DanHannon, Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your printer is waking up from sleep on its own hourly. I would try the following: 1.) Update the firmware. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates. 2.) Plug the printer's power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
-Open System Preferences.
-Open Network.
-Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
-Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
-Click Apply.
-Click the + button.
-For Interface, select Ethernet.
-For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
-Click on Create.
-Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
-Click on Apply and close Preferences.

13.3" macbook pro flickering screen when waking from sleep

I have a Mid 2012 13.3" MacBook Pro (non-Retina) laptop that has been working well, until the last few days. The laptop has had no physical damage and no liquid damage. I have put the laptop to sleep by closing the lid. When the laptop lid is raised and the laptop turns on this last week I have noticed that the screen flickers and then appears to be on, but the screen is a grey color. I have been able to press the power button to put the computer back to sleep. Usually when pressing the power button to wake it from sleep the screen issues have cleared up.
Is there a known issue that may cause the issue with the flickering/grey screen or could there be a short in the wiring that powers the screen?

Hey there Oregan Mac User,
It sounds like you are getting screen flickers when trying to wake your device from sleep. I recommend the troubleshooting form the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

IMac wakes from sleep on its own with Yosemite

After installing Yosemite, my iMac wakes from sleep all on its own multiple times throughout the day and night. The screen does not turn on when this occurs and it goes back to sleep on its own. I figured the my energy settings may have changed after the upgrade, but nothing is different. I have no schedule set and the "wake for network access" is unchecked.

To my knowledge, any Mac that is 1. connected to power and 2. not powered down will wake periodically for the reasons I explained, and perhaps for additional reasons known only to Apple. If disabling "wake for network access" does not change anything, all I can say is that it's working as Apple intends it to work. Before you ask, I strongly discourage you from finding clever system "hacks" or workarounds to prevent your Mac from working as designed.
It may or may not be a bug. Whether it is or not though, if it bothers you, consider providing feedback to Apple.
When questions such as yours arise, it helps to look at iOS. iPads and iPhones will all periodically connect themselves for the purposes of downloading emails, Messages, alerts etc. There is no way to disable that, other than to completely power down the device, which almost no one does. Apple has been inexorably changing OS X to effectively implement iOS design features such as this – for better or worse is not for us to say.
May I ask why this concerns you? Perhaps that would lend some insight regarding possible solutions.

MP '08 waking from sleep on its own

My MP '08 has insomnia! It wakes up during the night on its own, and doesn't go back to sleep.
Really. I double-checked the settings in Energy Saver, and it is not configured to wake automatically. There are no programs running that should be waking it up.
Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
*Formerly Badlydrawnboy on these forums, but I changed my email address

I used to use wireless keyboard and mouse. Battery consumption and
less functionality (e.g. PRAM rest or disc start up did not work, as the connection
via bluetooth did not "kick in" till lateron) made me move back to wired.
Also had problems with waking the old Power Mac.
Haven't missed the wireless keyboard+mouse at all. I know this does not answer your question but I do not think, it could get solved:
1) the computer "pairs" with the keyboard. When at "sleep", all connections are severed. So how does the computer know when the "correct" device wants to wake it (otherwise, it might react to mobile phones)
2) if not paired due to loss of connectivity, it will not recognise until the system is up and running (in order to remember the device). A bit of a conundrum in my books, solvable PERHAPS by the old "if", "and" "or" commands in UNIX

Macbook Pro Retina 2013 not waking from sleep

Hi all,
My brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) is not waking from sleep. It doesn't occur after a short sleep (as I can wake it as normal by moving my mouse), but if the sleep is for some extended duration (not exactly sure, but at least within a couple of hours) then the only way to wake it is to use the power button.
I've tried an SMC reset to no avail -- the problem still occurs.
It's plugged into a power adapter and this is a screenshot of the settings page.
This is a very annoying issue. I'm hoping someone can help?
Thanks!
Adam

I managed to narrow down and reproduce the issue:
It occurs when the 'turn display off after' time lapses. Eg, if I change the setting to 1 minute and wait for the display to turn off, the computer will *not* wake up without pressing the power button.
Very strange. Hoping someone can provide some insight!
Thanks,
Adam

Macbook pro 2010 crashes after waking from sleep

Back up all data, then uninstall the Razer and Blackberry software according to the developers' instructions. Reboot and test. Most likely there will be no change. In that case, see below:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

Mac wakes itself up from sleep. Help me out please!

I'm a pretty experienced user, but I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening. I run my mbp in clamshell mode connected to an external monitor, and every night I sleep it. I've had no problems with this setup for the last two years. However, in the last few weeks, every time I sleep my mac, it will wake up by itself again after about 10 minutes of sleeping. If I try to make it sleep again after the first time it wakes up by itself, it stays asleep for the rest of the night until I wake it up again in the morning. Totally strange. I've restarted, repaired permissions, etc, but it still does it. I don't think I've installed any new software that would cause this to happen. I think I just installed 1password recently and that's it. Also, to make sure it wasn't network or bluetooth activity doing this, I disabled "wake for network actiivity" in energy saver and I disabled my bluetooth. But, it still does it. Could it be a peripheral that's doing this? I haven't added any recently. I'm trying to figure out if the console log can help me, but I don't see anything that indicated what made the mac wake from sleep by itself. Below I've pasted the log for when the time just before I slept the mac and the time after it woke itself up last night. Maybe one of you can tell what app/process is doing this. Or maybe you can direct me to another system log that might give me more info?

New MacBook Pro won't ake up from sleep with Express Card in it.

My Mac won't come out of sleep if there is an express card in it. If I hit the power switch both screens light up but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. My only option at this point is to hold the power switch and (to quote Moss) "Force and unexpected reboot".
It also locks up if I power off and remove the card while it is awake.
Any help would be appreciated. If the answer is to load the next version of the OS to be released this month, I'll do that.

I have the same problem....MBP not waking from sleep with SIIG 2-Port ExpressCard installed....
10.4.10 etc..... Same thing happened with 10.4.9
I'll have to try the "Turn Power Off" command from the menu bar to see if that helps. But I just figure on having to do a funky restart if the machine goes to sleep on me.
Usually I'm editing and having the Energy Saver set to "Never Sleep" because that screws up editing software. But when I'm not editing....sleep my pretty!

Macbook Pro automatically logged itself off in the middle of work!

I was working on bookkeeping and out of the blue, my Macbook Pro using 10.5.8 turned black, then the log-in screen appeared! Everything I was working on disappeared! My notes were gone (didn't save because I wasn't going to need them after this) and I was connected to the State of California Board of Equalization filling out an on online use tax form (if that matters).
Bizarre and kinda scary. Stuff like that happens in the PC world. I've been a Mac user for over 20 years and this is the first time this has ever happened.
Any ideas? No, no anti virus software but haven't had any problems either.

Good find. I was not aware that this was a more widespread issue. If someone finds a solution, I hope you/they will update us here. Thanks
