Macbook pro not waking from sleep

HELP! My macbook pro (2010) is not consistently waking from sleep. I will put it on sleep, then when I open the screen, it will not wake up. I have to press the power button to completely turn it off, then press it again to wake it up. An error message shows saying that it had not been properly shut down. Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

Late 2008 Macbook Pro not waking from sleep

I just go a new MacBook Pro, and occasionally (maybe once a day) after I shut the computer to put it in sleep mode, and walk around with it, It refuses to wake when I open the lid. I have disabled the "put hard disk to sleep" and using the smartsleep preference pain, have put the computer in "sleep only," but the problem still occurs. Whenever this happens, I have to restart my computer with the restart button.

Alex, do you have your preferences set to require a password after sleep or screensaver? Sometimes I have had issues with this dialog window not popping up. Also does the status light on the MBP glow constantly or fade in and out when you lift the lid up? If it is lit constantly and nothing is displayed that means the computer is on...what I do is just close the lid again and then wait for the light to fade in/out and re open, then it usually works.

MacBook Pro not waking form sleep (sometimes)

My Macbook Pro is not waking from sleep (sometimes). To be very specific; the only time this happens is when it goes to sleep automatically, with the lid open, while plugged into the magsafe power cord. When I hit the space bar to wake it, the keyboard lights come on but the screen remains black. I do not have any problems with waking from sleep if I close the lid to force sleep (while plugged in). I also do not have any problems at all, if the computer goes to sleep while running on battery power. (I have had this MBP for about 18 months, the first year I had no issues at all. The problem started shortly after Lion was installed. (I also have a iMac with all the same software, almost identical set up, purchased at the same time as my MBP but have never had any sleep problems with the iMac, none even since Lion install.)
We do not have an Apple Store near us, but I have had the MBP in for service 3 seperate time to our local authorized Apple service/dealer. It is tricky to diagnose, because the problem does not happen every time. On average it won't wake from sleep 1 out of 3 times. Each time the service techs were able to re-create the problem but could not come up with a cause or solution, their only advice was to re-install Lion.
I have tried 2 different re-installs of Lion. (Both times erasing the hard drive first) The first time I did a clean re-install of Lion, then restored all of my data from Time Capsule. That did not work, the problem presisted. So I tried a second clean re-install of Lion and this time I did not restore from Time Capusle, I only re-installed critical docs from a flash drive and re-installed all other software (such as MS Office, Photoshop, etc.) from their original discs. I though this had fixed the problem but within a few days the problem re-occoured.
Any ideas would be appriciated, I have tried almost everything, I have days and days worth of time invested in trying to fix this issue. Thank you!

I had this problem with my MacBook Pro for a long time, and fixed it by changing the sleep mode. Here's how:
Open Terminal
Type the following:
     pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
It should say something like:
     hibernatemode 3
Here's an explanation of the different types of hibernate modes:
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.
5 - This is the same as mode 1, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory (in System Preferences -> Security).
7 - This is the same as mode 3, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory.
To change your sleep mode, use the following command:
     sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
(replace 0 with whatever hibernate mode you desire)
For my MacBook Pro, I changed it to 0, and it works great. It's super fast to wake and sleep, which is a plus. The only downside of hibernatemode 0 is that if your battery runs out your computer doesn't hibernate - it shuts off. This doesn't matter, though, because with Lion everything is autosaved, so really hibernate 0 is all plusses.

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.

Macbook Pro repeatedly waking from sleep with the clamshell closed

This is the second of two Macbook Pros that have inexplicably begun waking themselves from sleep with the clamshell closed. This continues until I either reboot, or unplug the power cord. Yes, that's right, unplugging the power cord stops the behavior EVERY TIME. The system log shows the reason for waking up as being: EHC1, EHC2 (USB Ports), however there is nothing plugged into the computer.
The first computer was replaced under warranty by Apple when they couldn't diagnose or fix the problem. This computer, however, is out of warranty. Any suggestions outside of the obvious (reinstall system software, repair permissions, check power management settings, etc) would be helpful.

Thank you for the very comprehensive list of possibilities. There are no wake events scheduled and even if there were, the fact that it happens randomly rules that possibility out. I originally thought (when it started to happen with my first Macbook Pro) that it had something to do with the power manager due to my recent installation of Alarm Clock Pro, which requires the user to wake the computer before the alarm goes off. However, after a complete wipe and fresh install of the OS (with no apps installed), it continued to wake itself up.
I greatly appreciate you clueing me in on the fact that the USB ports are not powered while asleep when the power cord is unattached. I did not know this and even the Applecare folks failed to mention it when they were troubleshooting it.
I don't use Bluetooth and always leave it off. However, I had heard that this was a symptom of Bluetooth becoming unavailable so I checked when this started happening and my Bluetooth is unaffected (I even turned it on and paired something to be sure).
I never plug a printer into the USB ports as I always use Bonjour with a printer plugged into Airport.
Thanks again for your suggestions. I will read those threads again. perhaps I missed something the first time.
-Tom
Edit: I have never seen that second thread you linked! I am very hopeful that it may solve my problem. I will post back here after I give it a try.
Again, thank you.

Macbook Pro Immediatly Waking From Sleep

Brand new MB Pro. (The first one lasted two weeks and was exhcanged b/c of a bad inverter causing the screen to flicker). After the first week with this one I noticed that it was waking itself up immediatly after sleeping. It does not matter how I put it to sleep: lid closed, power button or apple menu. The power light remains solid for few seconds (I assume saving info for the safe sleep) and then it will dim once then immediatly turn back on. I took it to the genius bar last week and on the way it somehow fixed itself as the problem refused to happen there. Tonight the problem is back and I am losing faith in it. This problem makes the computer hardly portable as it forces me to shut it down whenever I want to move it somewhere.
-I made a new user account and it had the same problem their
-Reset the PRAM
-Reset the SMC
-Trashed the power prefs file
Here is what I get from the terminal when using the command
ioreg -l | grep Reason
| | "Wake Reason" = <0000000000000000>
I have no devices attached. I have disable bluetooth and the airport. There are no items login items showing and I quit as many apps as I could from the activity monitor that I could.
Any help is much appreciated!

I've got the same issue as you, except I've already disabled Safe Sleep, so that's not what's causing it. As well, nothing is connected, but Airport is active and Firefox is open. It seems to be getting more frequent, as it was 1 in 10 a few weeks ago, but now it's more like 1 in 3. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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

Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

Why will macbook pro not go to sleep with Lion OS?

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 2
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 3
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

Macbook Pro random wake from sleep

Last September my MBP went to service for a dead fan, a corroded top case and a whine problem (which was not fixed!). Ever since the machine has been randomly waking from sleep. Sometimes just picking up the machine will make it wake up. But the big problem is that it often wakes up while in my bag during my daily transits! Obviously I am highly concerned for both the heat and the hard drive. I have just reinstalled the entire OS, reset the PRAM and SMC, but to no avail. The machine still acts the same way! What is going on? The machine is always safely in sleep (most of the time in hibernate mode) when this happens. I can clearly hear the fans and drives are off when I put it in my bag; so the problem is not that it's not going to sleep.
Any ideas?
P.S. I've got my Apple Care box just waiting to get registered... I seriously wished I wouldn't have had to use it so soon... Not to mention that my already recalled battery is not holding its charge, despite pmset reporting the status are Good/Good!

Hello there DaveWoo,
It sounds like your computer is occasionally restarting on its own when you wake it from sleep. There can be a number of reasons for this to happen, and I recommend you use the following article to help you resolve or isolate the issue. Its pretty thorough and has a lot of information.

New macbook pro wont wake from sleep

Hi everyone, I got the new macbook pro 15 inch with retina display about a month ago, the problem is it will not wake from when the screen goes to sleep, not all the time but enuff for me to want to throw it out the window, when it is in sleep mode i go to touch the touch pad then the keybord lights up like its about to work then dies and i end up tuning the computer off from the off button.
I have been on the phone with apple for many hours and its doing my head in and losing my mind and they have done a re set, a re install and also after that didnt work we wiped the computer and downloaded the software directley from apple and started fresh again " AND STILL DOES NOT WAKE FROM SLEEP " i have taken it back to jb hifi where i got it from in Liverpool westfields and they said sorry we cant help you and apple are saying you have to take the computer to apple and leave it with them for a few weeks, very hard for me as i use the computer everyday to run my business and i feel ripped off big time they should replace it straight away.
Has anyone had this problem before ? any ideas ? thank you very much for you time. Dave

Apple has replaced systems for others after several tries at repairs have failed. Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider and take it in for service, as Apple support directed. Apple would have replaced the system outright in the first 14 days of ownership. After that, you need to give them the opportunity to repair it under warranty.
Since you use it for business, have you asked if the Apple Authorized Service Provider can provide a loaner? Or considered renting one for the short period it would be repaired? Or talked to the Apple Authorized Service Provider about expediting repair?

Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep when express card inserted

Hi,
my macbook pro (no unibody, 10.5.7) wakes up from sleep when I have my express card 34 (Hama 16GB) inserted. Is there any trick to disable wake up when a drive is inserted? I tried to eject the disk before going to sleep with a shell script but it automounts the device... I attached my log... I hope somebody can help! Thanks a lot!

Hey, thanks 4 your response... Well I figured that out... I hoped that there was a way to prevent system calls, regarding devices, to wake up my macbook pro... something like: forbid interrupts while asleep
If you ever hear of a way to fix it please let me know...
I think a solution would be to disable automount on the express card device... I use it for my time machine backup and really DON'T want to remove the card every five minutes...
Cheers, Philipp

Macbook Pro wont wake from sleep

My '08 MacBk Pro wont wake from sleep. This has happened several times since I installed Lion. In the past I have simply clicked several times on the trackpad until it woke, but on several occasions it actually shut down after entering sleep mode, (It went to black screen, the little pulsing sleep light was dark and I got no responce to clicks on trackpad or keyboard). When this happens I can usually re-start the Mac with a hard re-boot to resolve the issue. This time however, I can't get the computer to turn on. I've tried pressing the power button once, and all that happens is that the sleep light blinks once along with a the normal whiring sound you hear when the computer is ramping up, but this lasts only a second and then it goes back to black screen/dead Mac. I also tried holding down the power button as I would for a hard reset at which point I get several blinks from the pulsing sleep light and then nothing. I also tried unplugging the cable, removing the battery and pressing the power button for 5 seconds, then reconnecting battery and cable and pressing the power button, (I got these steps from an article posted here on the furums). BTW, I have disconnected all external drives, etc. before trying any of these steps. Please let me know if there's something else I might try to revive my Mac.

Follow up: I took the MacBook Pro for repair and the tech found that the logic board was damaged - probably due to so many hard resets I had to perform to get the machine to load when starting it up after shutdown or restart. I replaced the logic board, (Very expensive) and its been running fine for 3 days. However, the freezing problem has just started again and I'm worried that having to perform a hard reset to get the macbook to load will cause more damage.
The problem that's occuring is as follows: When I start the computer up after shutdown, or sometimes after restart, the desktop fails to load and the spinning color wheel appears. I can see the dock and the main upper toolbar but my desktop is blank and my external hard drives do not load. I can't make any selections with the cursor because of the eternally spinning color wheel, so my only option is to perform a hard reset by depressing the power button until the unit shuts down. When I start it up again the system loads correctly. I have tried ejecting my external drives before shutting down, but this doesn't make a difference. This problem started when I installed Lion OS and got continually worse until the computer finally shut down for good and I had to replace the logic board. Now it's starting to happen again.
Has anyone else experienced this problem running Lion on a MacBook Pro early '08? If so, please help me find a solution for the freezes.

Can iMac not waking from sleep be caused be a corrupt file

I have had my 27" iMac from July of 2011 (running Montain Lion, 8 GB RAM, 2TB hardrive, 3.4 GHz,Intel i7) for over a year and a half and ever since I bought it, it has had a problem waking from sleep. I can hear the computer running, but when I click the mouse, keyboard, or power button, it stays asleep and I am forced to do a hard shut down. Apple has been trying to fix the issue, but to no success. They have replaced the hard drive, logic board, usb ports, RAM, mouse and keyboard, but it still happens. They finally threw in the towel and are replacing the machine. They offered to transfer all of our files (jpgs, mp3s, docs, videos, etc), but one thought occurred to me... what if the sleep issue is caused by a corrupt file? I highly doubt that is the case, but wonder if any of the experts out here would know better than I.
If we didin't have the data transfered, we would just keep it on an external hard drive instead. But, I would assume that it wouldn't matter if the files were on internal vs. external because either way, the computer would access the files. That being the case, if the sleep issue was caused by a corrupt file, the computer would still access it on the external and the sleep issue would resurface.
So, 2 questions:
Can a corrupt file cause the sleep issue?
If it is true that a corrupt file can cause the sleep issue, would it matter if the corrupt file was accessed from an external drive vs. internal drive?
Thanks so much!
Chris

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 the 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 next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MacBook Pro Not Waking Up From Closed Clamshell Sleep

Hey everyone,
I've been having problems with my mid 2009 2.53GHz MacBook Pro 15" not waking up from sleep after I open the clamshell (screen) back up. When I open the screen after letting it sit for a while, I can hear the HDD spinning up and the status light on the bottom of the MacBook turns off (like it normally does when the clamshell is opened), but the screen is black and there is absolutely no response in any key combinations or trackpad taps. I've been having this problem for about a month now and its getting pretty annoying. I've tried a total wipe of the disk and a fresh Lion install with a full TimeMachine restore, but I'm having absolutely no luck. The only thing that can bring the MBP back to life is a hard restart. Sometimes when I hard restart it, it comes back to life right where I let off (basically like when the battery loses all its juice and restores everything thats open), but most of the time, it starts up like a normal boot with no restore. I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue, but its really starting to get on my nerves. Let me know if you have a solution! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I think the logic board is shot on my MBP, and heres why. My lower RAM Slot only reads my ram some of the time, whereas the top slot never has a problem. If I have to restart my Mac because of the above sleeping issue, it only has 2GB of ram, but if I take the sticks out and swap them, it briefly runs with 4GB until the clamshell gets shut again, and its the same slot thats not reading no matter what configuration of RAM I'm using. Ive swapped RAM sticks with multiple people with no luck. If Just take the bottom stick out, everything is fine, but If its only the bottom stick, it only starts up about half the time. If it dosent boot, I get the "Beeps of Death" at startup. As i said earlier, it's probably not the RAM itself thats causing the problem, somethings screwy in my logic board thats preventing it from reading RAM even though it's in the slot. And yes, I made sure the ram was in it's slot all the way.

MacBook Pro not waking up after being put to sleep

Hey everyone, got a weird question. I bought an external monitor for my MacBook Pro (late 2010, Lion). For the past few days, whenever I put it to sleep using the sleep command in the Apple menu, I come home at night and find that it woke up at some point, started collecting my Growl notifications and IRC messages and just sat there running all day. It's also pretty warm when I pick it up (I'd say about as warm as half an hour of Minecraft gets it, not sure how else to describe it). The monitor is being left plugged in all day, as is a Logitech Unifiying reciever for my house. It's also connected to an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard the whole time.
What the heck is going on? Anyone got a solution? Thanks!

The principle is this: whenever your MBP is involved in an operation that keeps it awake, your MBP will keep this command going - until you disable the process. For me, it's the application Printopia; if I have sharing disabled - which Printopia doesn't want me to do - it keeps my machine awake, until I enable sharing.
Your situation is going to take a little invesigation on your part, but I can guarantee you that it's not a system or hardware issue. Systematically, disable or enable functions - typically on Control Panel - until the process is resolved. There's no "wizard" to root out the problem.
