Macbook pro early 2011 will not wake up from sleep mode

A couple of days ago, my battery died, and when I plugged in the power adapter, the light didn't come on at all to show it was charging. I tried again this morning, and it is charging just fine. I now have almost a full charge (according to the indicator lights on the side) and the sleep indicator light is slowly flashing, indicating it is in sleep mode. However when I open the laptop, the screen stays black, it doesn't come on. I have tried holding down the power button, and pressing keys on the keypad, all to no avail. Is there something I am missing? Or do I need to send it in to Apple?

First try SMC and PRAM resets:

My MacBook Pro (early 2011) will not go to sleep

Very recently my MacBook Pro (early 2011) suddenly stopped going to sleep whenever I shut it or even when I manually put it to sleep. I went to my schools help desk and they suggested restoring the computer to factory settings. I did this, reinstalled Mountain Lion and the problem seemed fixed. Then I backed up my files and again the computer would not sleep. I put the computer in safe mode and the computer would fall asleep. Any ideas what this might be?

There is no output from that command line? Maybe the pid changed.
I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

MacBook Pro 13" (2011) will not wake up after it goes to sleep.

My new MacBook Pro goes to sleep like normal and then when I try to turn it back on the screen just stays black. I have turned off the put hard drive to sleep button and it is still doing it.

@hinote80: I ran into a wake problem with my new 17" MacBook Pro (early 2011). At first, I did the shutdown via the power button and then a restart, but that wasn't something I wanted to keep doing. I had also tried tapping on various keys on the keyboard but none of them seemed to wake it up (that approach always worked on my nearly 6-year-old PowerBook). I also tried moving around the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse (that I have paired with the MBP laptop) but that didn't work either.
While searching for another approach, I happened to click once on the mouse and that seemed to wake up the laptop everytime. So, now I'm doing that. If you don't have a mouse, maybe just tapping the scrollpad once (as if doing a click) would have the same effect. worth a try.

Mac Pro will not wake up from sleep mode

Hi,
In my Energy Saver I have my system set to go to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used. Unfortuantely, when I try to wake the system up from sleep mode, it freezes on the screen saver and I have to hard restart the computer to get it to turn on again. I see that this is an issue with MacBook Pros, but I'm not seeing much in the Mac Pro Towers. I did see a thread about Parallels VM causing causing OSX to not wake up from hibernation mode, but I am not always running my VM Ware when the system decides to not wake up. Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thank you,
Julia
OS X Version 10.6.7

.... and you fail to mention the model SSD and firmware version... or how you installed or cloned the system
most people also move most of their user folder to another hard drive.
sounds like a more normal Mail + OS issue if just that.
hard restarts = directory corruption so don't reboot w/o first either Recovery Mode, then follow up with Safe Boot.
And maybe you have 3rd party hardware or software that is not compatible with 10.8.2 needs to be considered as well.
2008 model 3,1 also are having a lot of issues this year. Including another critical piece, what gpu it has.

HP Envy Laptop will not Wake up from Sleep Mode with Windows 10

The reason I decided to go back to windows 8 was because since upgrading to Windows 10, when my computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. I have to press and hold the power button to shut it done and restart. Even if I close my laptop, and reopen the lid, it wont start back up and I have to press and hold the power button and shut it down and restart. After trying to restore my HP Envy Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 8, it got stuck in a Repair PC Loop and I could not even access the desktop, I tried the restore option to an earlier date and that failed and all the repair options also failed. The last option I had was to do a full PC Refresh, and that one worked. It took about an hour but no data was lost, and only a few of my downloaded apps were removed. An html url was left on the desktop that showed a list of all the apps that were removed. So all I did was download those back and now im back up and running Windows 8. I want to re-download Windows 10, does anyone have a fix for this issue?

Hello mistyb1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not waking up from Sleep Mode.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Once you have the printer connected to the wall outlet, please use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle. This will do a Semi power reset on the printer.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,

Officejet 7612 E All in one printer will not wake up from sleep mode or powersave

We cannot get a Officejet 7612 to wake up from sleep mode or powersave. I have tried logging into the web interface but I am only able to delay sleep mode up to 15 minutes. I need to shut this off or have the issue fixed. The only way to use the device is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in. The printer does not even respond to the power button.

Hello,
Please try the below mentioned steps... Firstly print an network configuration page by touching the Setup > wireless Menu > Wireless Settings > Display Network Configuration > Print info [Ok] -type in the printer's ip in address bar of your browser ( Internet explorer or firefox or chrome ), which would display printer inforamtion. click on Network Menu ,
click Network on Left, of the window.
click on Network Address (IP), the info will be displayed on the right side. - by default the selection will be on Automatic IP.- click on Manual IP and then type in the following..
printer's ip address in "Manual IP address"
subnet mask using the printed report in "Manual Subnet Mask"
default gateway using printer report in "Manual Default Gateway" Now click Apply. Wait untill the settigns are applied.-After which, power Off the Printer.
-Restart the PC.
-Power On the printer. Hopefully the issue should be resolved.

Mac Pro 8 Core will not wake up from sleep after install of 10.6

I am so bummed that my computer will not sleep after installing the 10.6 OS. Every time I put the machine to sleep, that works, but when I tap a key to wake the machine, it restarts. I tried resetting the SMC by unplugging everything and restarting but that did not work. I have 8GB of RAM and the machine is set up for photography (Huey color calibrator (using USB), Wacom Intuos 4 Graphics Tablet (using USB)... Could it be all of these device drivers? Help!

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.

Will not Wake Up from Sleep mode completely "Black Screen"

I believe the problem has only manifested itself under the following condition. the computer goes to sleep on it's own with the display open, then I close the display. Later upon opening the display the sleep light will go off, but the display will not turn back on, requiring a hard restart. I can not repeatedly duplicate the problem intentionally, but the wake up problem has occurred repeatedly. Other than it happening only when the computer has gone to sleep automatically and then having the lid shut I've been able to notice no other precursor. I'd not be concerned if this is a problem with the OS, just trying to make sure it's not peculiar to this particular iBook.
FWIW, I believe that the fans/hard drive spin up , it's just the display which stays black when she does not completely wake up.
Thanks,

I'm not an expert by any means.
But this may be a case of a failing Logic Board. Is your iBook still in warranty? If so, have an Apple Genius take a look as soon as possible.

Macbook Pro Early 2011 says (Not Charging)

Hello, my Macbook Pro Early 2011 says (Not Charging) when I unplugged the charger, so I can't see how much battery percentage it has, the battery life runs normally, but I can't see where it goes because of the (Not charging) message. I can only see it when I plug the power adapter, but once I unplugged it, it comes the (Not charging) message again. please help. thank you.

ok, the problem is that it says (Not charging) even though the power adapter is not plugged in. It is charging normally but doesn't show the battery percentage because it shows a (Not charging) message. The only way to know the battery percentage is plugging in the power adapter, but once I unplugged it, the (Not charging) message appears again and don't let me see how much battery it has left.
PS: English is not my first language so I'm doing my best to be understood

My iMac will not wake up from sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading to OS X, my iMac will not wake up from sleep. Each time I have to do a hard restart. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking. It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

Maverick will not wake up from sleep

Maverick will not wake up from sleep. i dont see any related issues. maybe i am the only one? Ive been trying to run maverick for the last 2 months. I thought everything was fine after I erased, reformated and partitioned the HD and installed Maverick on a clean drive...... and then i get the ? startup disk. And then when it does run, I cant let it go to sleep. It will not wake up from sleep. I get the spinning beach ball of death everytime. I leave my computer on and run to the grocery store and come back........ I have to shut my computer off from the control strip and push the start button, every time.
Anyone know if this will damage my computer??
I have selected the HD in the preferences startup; I've unplugged it for several minutes; started up in S mode; zapped the P ram; ran permissions; you name it. im at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should i buy another Mac? I cant afford one in this economy.

I suggest you use the Recovery Partition Disk Utility to check the hard disk and then re-install the OS from there.

My MacBook Pro (Early 2011) will constantly loose it's internet connection.

Okay, so I have wireless internet service which works great. I have an android smartphone, an HP laptop and a MacBook Pro (early 2011). My android smartphone and my hp computer both connect perfectly to the wireless network. On the other hand, my Mac connects at times but it rapidly looses connection. All of the wifi bars on the mac appear as if the computer was connected, but there is no connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? It's getting very annoying because I have to turn my wifi (on the mac) on and off to get internet connection again. I would really like to receive uninterrupted internet coverage on all my devices, including my mac. PLEASE HELP!

I am having the same issue. My macbook pro is one of the models from late last year. Within the past few weeks I have been getting disconnected from my wifi for no reason. It still shows that I am connected but nothing will load. When I dissconect and reconnect it loads up fine and everything works again, though in another 10 minutes it will crash again.
