MacBook Pro doesn't go in standby mode...

Hi!
I just got my new MacBook Pro and everything works fine but it just won't go into standby mode. I tried to quit every app and to disconnect all devices but it still won't work. The displays turns off but the hard drive keeps working and the indicator light is on.
If I close the lid it works without any problem.
What could be the problem and how do I solve this problem?

Doesn't it seem that with so many reporting this as a problem that it's more than just an isolated hardware situation for c0heed?
It's hard to tell. That's why I suggested the reinstall to try and eliminate a software issue.
There are all kinds of things that can cause sleep issues with a Mac. Sometimes when I close the lid on my MBP, I can't get it to wake back up and have to force quit it. It's very intermittent and there are no clues in the logs either to the cause.

    My MacBook Pro doesn't start; in safe mode <shift CMD V> the message "disk0s2: media is not present" is written on the screen repeatedly but the MacBook doesn't start.  Do you have any ideas of why this should be or what I should do to resolve this?  Thanks  Eamonn

    Thanks for these suggestions: I have tried safe mode re-starts (both "verbose" and simple "shift" + power) to no avail.  I get the error message "disk0s2: media is not present".  Following this I inserted the installation disc and from there ran disc utility.  The "Verify Disk" indicated an error " invalid sibling link" which it could not repair.
    I also tried to completely re-format/erase the disk, but again got an error message "disk object invalid or unable to serialize".
    Any ideas of what could be causing this or the best solution?  I fear I am fast running out of options.

  • My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode

    My new macbook pro retina randomly goes into standby mode. I have to close the screen and wait a few seconds and re-open it in order for it to come back on.
    Sometimes it immediately goes back into standby mode again after closing and reopening the screen. I have checked the battery level everytime, and it has never been below 40% when this occurs. Is this a Mountain Lion issue?

    Well I fixed my problem.
    I took it into the Apple store. Even without the other two monitors they were able to recreate the problem. One symptom (I had) was that one of the Hot Corners was set to Disable screen saver. If you then put your cursor there, you'd go into screen saver mode. Change the setting to another corner and the problem follows you there.
    The Apple person at the Genius bar logged out as me and back in as test and same problem. He tried some stuff and finally said I needed to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS (Lion). I'd only had the machine for 12 hours and had just migrated my data to it, so I didn't mind doing that. I did it at home.
    Problem solved.
    BUT... then I reinstalled the driver for my EVGA UV Plus 19 (most current drivers) and bingo problem back. Uninstall. Problem gone. I'm now using mini display port to DVI for one monitor and HDMI for the other I think the machine is a bit warmer this way (versus using a USB to the EVGA device) but at least it's not sleeping all the time. Someone might say "it (the heat) is your imagination" or something else. Or someone might say "use the other thunderbolt port for another mini-display port to DVI" but I need that for the LAN... c'est la vie.
    Maybe I'll write to evga and see what they say. Maybe they'll fix their driver and/or Apple will fix it.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't go into sleep mode after connecting Thunderbolt display

    Hi,
    after connecting a Thunderbolt display to the 2011 MacBook Pro 13", the system doesn't stay in sleep mode.
    When pressing cmd.alt.eject it goes into sleep for 1 or 2 seconds and then goes back on.
    everything works fine otherwise and the MacBook goes to sleep without problems if the Thunderbolt display is not attached.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jordi

    I found the problem.
    It turns out that it has nothing to do with the Thunderbolt Display, but with Bluetooth and the Magic Trackpad.
    When I installed the TD, I also added a wireless keyboard and Magic Trackpad that I had been using with another system.
    If the option to allow the system to wake up by Bluetooth devices is enabled (system preferences, Bluetooth, advanced), the MacBook Pro will go to sleep and immediately wake up.
    Simply disabled that option and everything works fine.
    Now I need to open the lid of the MBP to wake up the system. Kind of a huge power button :-)
    Thanks for your help!

  • Macbook pro doesn't start up anymore

    Guys i got a pretty big problem. My 1st gen macbook pro doesn't wanna completely start up anymore. When i press the startup button, I get the bong and when the apple logo appears, it suddenly restarts. So the bong appears, the apple logo shows up and then it restarts again: this keeps on going and i cant stop it unless i pull out the battery and power plug. I have no idea how this is possible: I did nothing unusual with my computer. The only alarming thing that happened before this was a kernel panic. After restarting my computer everything was fine and the mbp seemed to have recovered. So I then left it as I went for dinner and when i came back, the screen was black en frozen. So I turned of the mbp and then it wouldnt start up anymore!!!
    Can anyone please help me!!!

    Place the OSX installation DVD that came with your computer and hold down 'C' during the restart. That should open up the installation/repair screen. There you can check your volume and repair it through Disk Utility. If you can't fix your drive here, you can restart your machine in target mode and backup your drive (given that you have another computer to back it up to) and then hard-format and reinstall. This might be a long and hard process but it should solve your problems. If you have more questions, just post.
    Cheers-

    AirPort Card Information:

    Wireless Card Firmware Version: 1.4.4
    Current Wireless Network: Apple Network fa2338

    It is running on 10.4.11 OS X. Everything works fine but I was unsatisfied with network/Internet speeds and turned ON 5GHz, "n" only mode in Airport Extreme base station. All our Macs followed (iMac x 3, MacBook x 2) but this MacBook Pro doesn't see network any more.
    Is there something to be turned ON or updated. I checked software status and Apple returns "no new software for your computer avail." so I am up to date.
    Thank you in advance,
    Zack

    Thanks for post.
    I clicked on link you sent, paid and downloaded n enabler package. As soon as I started install process window pops up and says that my MacBook Pro does NOT have compatible hardware.
    So much for that! 2.13 wasted or there is another trick to this?

  • 10.5.4 installed, Macbook Pro doesn't start up

    Hi,
    I just installed 10.5.4 via Software Update. But now my Macbook Pro doesn't startup correctly anymore. I hear the start up sound then the white screen with apple and the spinning wheel. Then then fans start to grow louder and louder until the whole unit just shuts down and is off.
    Has anyone already experienced this problem? Please help.
    Thanks.
    Best Rob

    The combo update is only available from the Apple download site. The link is in one of the other 10.5.4 threads. Software update only uses a delta update.
    Try booting in the safe mode, hold down the Shift key while booting. If you get to the login screen, don't login but hit the restart button. That should allow a normal boot - it forces a disk repair.
    Otherwise, boot into the Leopard DVD, select the Utilities menu and run the disk utility from there and repair HD and permission. If that succeeds, you should be able to boot normally.
    The update may have actually succeeded but the cleanup failed.
    If you manage to get back into your system, check the version of your OS. It may be 10.5.4
    If all else fails, you will need to restore your previous system using TimeMachine, although usually one of the above techniques will usually result in a bootable system without needing major surgery.

  • How come my macbook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my wifi when it is saved under known networks?

    How come my macbook Pro doesn't automatically connect to my wifi when it is saved under known networks and i have the box checked under network settings?

    Random35,
    does your wi-fi router filter access by MAC address? If it does, then have you added your MacBook Pro’s MAC address to your router’s whitelist of acceptable MAC addresses?

  • My macbook pro doesn't bootbeyond the grey screen with apple icon and spinning wheel.

    My macbook pro doesn't boot beyond the grey screen with apple icon and spinning wheel.  I used the "Option" button to access the Disk Utility function and run Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions.  Should I restart my computer?

    The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition (if running 10.7 or later) by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize audio cd's after Yosemite upgrade

    After completing the upgrade to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize purchased audio cd's.  Help!!

    hi russeel!
    when i first upgraded to 5.0.1.4 i panicked for a while looking for that tab (and the Burning one) ... the subtab that i find kind of strange is "Advanced-General". Generally Advanced? Not Tremendously Advanced?
    okay, we've gone up a
    b lot
    of versions in your case (nearly as many as it is possible to go), so we'd probably better check through some of the usual suspects. let's start off with this document:

  • Macbook Pro doesn't recognize Flip Mino camera in USB port after Yosemite upgrade

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite, my Macbook Pro doesn't recognize my Flip Mino camera in the USB port.

    I don't use FLIP, but if you get no other help here,
    consider the following ideas.
    If neither restarting your Mac
    nor reinstalling OS X fixes your
    problem, you might find some
    help if you search or post in the
    CISCO forum where Flip users post.
