Macbook pro goes to sleep doesn't wake up...noticed the light on the power cord not on...

My MacBook Pro goes to sleep and this time will not wake up. I hold the start button down for count of 10 without results. I noticed the light on my power cord isn't on...and I've jiggled the cord and plugged it into a working outlet. Help!

All Apple laptops will go to sleep when the battery gets low, during this sleep you will not be able to wake it up.  based on what you are saying, to me it sounds like the battery is low because your power supply failed.  I would recommend either barrowing power supply from a friend, or bring it to the apple store, that way you can test it with a good power supply, it that is the case, replace it.

  • My macbook pro has been shutting off on its own. The power cord "shuts off" (does not work) simultaneously. Does anyone know what is wrong? or what could be the problem?

  • My macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display.

    my macbook pro goes to sleep by it does not wake up afterwards. I have to restart it. I had recently to change the board in the attached Thunderbolt display, because I noticed that the same problem arose when the display was attached.
    Now with the new board, it can't be the display's fault. I hope it is not macbook pro's main board fault. Maybe hasthe notebook board been damaged by the faulty display?
    To bring my MacBook Pro to service will slow down my work. This is why I am posting this message, in the hope to be able to run a diagnostic test myself.
    Thanks a lot, in advance.

    Hello Aminetti,
    It sounds like your computer goes to sleep, and will not wake up, so you must manually restart your computer. I recommend the troubleshooting in the following article:

  • Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging?

    Why does my macbook pro "goes to sleep" when charging? It is working fine without charging but once I attach the charger to my laptop, it just blacks out or goes to sleep mode and I can't wake it up unless I unpluck the charger.
    I read from threads that it is a logic board problem....How do I solve this problem?

    Try an SMC reset. Follow the method for "a battery you should not remove yourself."

  • MacBook Pro goes to sleep when copying files from attached drives

    I have noticed that since installing Yosemite my MacBook Pro goes to sleep when it is in the middle of copying a large number of files.  When I wake it up the copying continues.
    I have also noticed that when I am watching videos from my shared iTunes library on an Apple TV the video will stop after about 15 minutes and the connection to the library is lost because the MacBook Pro has gone to sleep. When woken up then access to the library is restored but I need to reselect the movie and then resume.
    I have changed the power saving options to do not let drives sleep when idle and do not sleep laptop.
    Anyone else have any experience of this or better still a fix.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have just found that if I turn off the display sleep in the power settings then the problem is resolved.  It means though that the screen on my MacBook Pro is on all the time albeit with a screen saver.

    Hey guys,
    This is the problem. My father just got an iPhone 5. He has a Macbook Pro 2009 with OS X 10.5.8.  The iPhone is not compatible with this version since the iTunes is an older version as well. At our local Apple store in my home country, they told him he needs to upgrade (which I agree of) but that the memory of this computer is not enough to hold the newer OS.
    Please help, he does not really agree with buying a new computer just because of the versions.
    Thank you, I appreciate your help.

    This is what I have. Thank you so much rdr4lfe.

  • Macbook pro 2010 only will turn on if i hold the power button down for atleast 7 seconds.....before i could just press it and it would come right on

    macbook pro 2010 only will turn on if i hold the power button down for atleast 7 seconds.....before i could just press it and it would come right on

    I tried those already, did not work.
    I did how ever remove the command key and wiped it down and it turns on perfectly!
    but now the keyboard keys seem to be out of place or something. For example it makes a "ping" sound when i hit some of them, when i hit function or control it puts the letter Z.
    Any input would be great!

  • Whenever my macbook pro goes to sleep, it automatically shuts down? why?

    my macbook automatically goes to sleep after 15 minutes. after it goes to sleep, it shuts down causing all of my windows that are open to close. i then lose everything that is open. i checked all of my settings and i can't find anything that would be causing this. any ideas?

    Hi Alex,
    This doesn't fit exactly under the definition for using an SMC Reset: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 but I'd give it a try.

  • Lose printer after macbook pro goes to sleep

    I have a wireless printer (Samsung CLX-3185FW) that I talk to through my time capsule/ariport.
    After my computer (or any of the ones on the network) go to sleep, it can no longer see the wireless printer.  The happens whether the printer is in active/ready mode, or is asleep.
    After the computer goes to sleep (and I wake it again, and it is connected to the wireless network), I can't print, wake the printer from sleep, or re-add the printer through preferences.
    If I restart the printer, the computer can see it again.
    There is no problem if using USB.
    Given the printer is still connected to the airport, I am presuming it is a problem with some settings on my computer or time capsule.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Just to confirm.. you can open the airport utilty.. can you still see the TC/airport? And the printer is still there?
    Can you find the IP of the printer from the TC/airport? Wireless clients will be listed on the advanced log wireless clients page. Make sure the TC can still see it.
    From the computer open a terminal and ping the printer name.. (this is where the problem is I think the computer has lost the printer name from the arp table). If the ping fails to respond, ping by the ip address. See if that gets things going. Tell me your results.
    Also when you restart the printer.. and can print, in the terminal type arp -a and copy the output.. the printer should be identified on the network..
    After a computer goes to sleep and wakes.. cannot find the printer.. type arp -a again in the terminal and see if the reference to the printer has gone.
    Tell me your results.

  • I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode and have to restart the computer. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there

    I occasionally have issues waking my macbook pro up from sleep mode resulting in my need to restart the computer. I dislike all of my programs opening at once when I do get the computer started becasue it slows the cpu down. The apple store replaced the sleep part but the problem is still there. Note: i never had this problem with snow leopard

    I'm not certain but my new MBA 13...when in sleep mode comes back on from a black screen when I simply click on the left mouse button. Also, one time I did a SECURE EMPTY TRASH on files that totalled more than 1GB and it took so long that the fan kept increasing in speed so I pressed on the POWER button and the MBA shut...I was able to boot up with no problem. As a rule, I now only do secured erases for trash bin data totalling 500mb or less...anything above that gets a regular erase (dump).

  • I don't think my computer is completely shutting down.  I think it is only going into sleep mode.  When I hit the power button, it turns off immediately instead of shutting down.

    I don't think my Mac Pro is completely shutting down.  When I hit the power button, it just turns off immediately instead of going through the normal shut down procedures.  I heard that I should try resetting the SMC, which involves removing the power cord.  However, when I remove and replace the power cord, it turns on automatically, so I can't even properly reset that to see if it is the issue.  Is this probably a power supply issue?
    Actually, in case this information helps... The computer went into sleep mode the other day, and would not come back.  This is a work computer that I use for our photography business, and at this point I am just trying to run it as a drive to get the photos onto our new computer, but this issue is keeping us from doing so.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try a SMC reset.

  • MacBook Pro goes to sleep, doesnt wake up!

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro, and have noticed that this problem started since I downloaded a widget: Deep Sleep, which basically allows the Mac to go onto a Hibernate mode. I have uninstalled it now but the problem still persists, so I am not sure if that was the cause. My Mac goes to sleep but does not wake up, the Apple logo on the loading page comes up but thats as far as it goes. It loads almost upto the end but then stops. I have to press and hold onto the power button for it to restart. Any ideas why this is happening and what I can do to solve this issue?

  • Macbook pro goes into sleep mode after few minutes and won't wake up

    Since yesterday my MB pro suddenly goes in sleep mode while working and won't wake up. After reset the MB Pro goes into Sleepmode befor I get the log in screen. After resettin SMC and PRAM I can log in but after a few minutes, againg deep sleep. I'ts not a software isue I think because when I use my MB Pro's harddrive by firewire as the startup disk on an other macbook it works fine. anyone knows about this problem?

    It sounds obvious but are you sure your power adapter is ok and the battery is charged. The behaviour sounds a lot like low battery sleep.
    Press the check button on your battery pack - do you get plenty of lights?

  • HT1338 My macbook pro goes to sleep randomly and only wakes up when i tilt it

    I bought my new macbook pro last june in miami and somehow it just goes to sleep on its own in the middle of doing anything.
    Clicking, pressing the start button, the space bar or anything won't wake it up. Tilting it or lifting the computer would. And that's scaring me. It just did it 4 times in a row and i am just browsing the web
    Anyone know if this is a hardware thing or the software is going nuts or my mac is haunted ??
    I have the mac insurance thingy so should i call them or what do i do? Thanks for the help

    Check your current setup (I left my MBP as "3")
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    After you launch Terminal, the first step is to determine which sleep mode your Mac is currently using. You can both view and change the sleep mode using the Unix program pmset. To see your current settings, type (or, copy and paste)
    pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    press 'enter'
    You should see something like this:
    $ pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
    hibernatemode 3
    Great, so your machine is using mode 3, whatever that might be. Well, thanks to the documentation for the handy Deep Sleep Dashboard widget, which puts your machine immediately into hibernation mode (so you don’t have to yank all the power sources to invoke it), we can tell exactly which mode is which:
    * 0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
    * 1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
    * 3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
    also, I enabled this:
    go to Utilities > Terminal
    type in sudo pmset lidwake 0 then "enter"
    it will ask for your password. type it in, that's it!
    Now, when your computer is sleeping with the lid closed, when you open the lid nothing happens until you press any key ... nice: keeps it off when accidentally opened, like in a backpack?

  • My Macbook Pro goes into sleep mode despite disabling it in Energy Center. It won't wake up without a hard reboot. Why?

    I have a LaCie thunderbolt external storage device attached. All the reboots are of concern for this device. I've tried cntrl-option-eject to no avail.  Only the power switch works.
