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.
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

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.

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 spontaneously wakes from sleep after upgrading to Leopard?

For some reason, after I upgraded to Leopard, then whenever I put my MacBook Pro to sleep, it spontaneously wakes up after some time (can be from a few minutes to an hour or two.) I don't know why this is happening, but I know for sure that it's related to Leopard since I put my laptop to sleep every night (it's in my bedroom) and after upgrading to Leopard, it started to just wake up a short while after putting it to sleep.
At first I thought it could be Time Machine, so I disconnected all my external drives, but that didn't seem to work.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same issue. Installed Leopard last night on my first-gen 1.83 MacBook. The next morning the Mac was a little slow in wanting to wake up. After that it stalled on transferring a large file from my G5 and I had to issue a reboot command via the shell to get it out of that. A few minutes later the computer locked up when trying to apple > tab through the application.
I put it to sleep after restarting the Mac from that freeze. A while later while walking out of the house I happened to glance at the Macbook and saw the apple glowing while the lid was shut and then it went back to sleep.
Tonight I put the Macbook to sleep on the way out to dinner. I noted that I had 84% of my battery left. A few hours later when I got home the MB was warm, the apple was glowing and I had 9% of my battery left.
Looks like there is some work to be done asap for 10.5.1

Macbook pro auto wake from sleep every minute lid open or closed

Macbook Pro 2.53, OSX10.8.5.
Since I installed Lion, my Macbook pro will not sleep for longer than one minure.
Even with the lid closed it still wakes up. Charger on or off.
Force sleep works, but auto wake after a minute.
Have reset SMC, deleted printers, sharing off, bluetooth off, and tried for over a year to find a solution.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Reset the SMC.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
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.
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 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 5
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 6
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 won't wake from sleep

My macbook won't wake from sleep. I have to power down and restart. I have also noticed that when it is asleep, the sleep indicator light doesn't pulse, it just stays on steady. Could this be a bug in mavericks? I have a Seagate external hard drive that I use for my Time Machine backups that it always connected. But ejecting it before the macbook goes to sleep doesn't seem to solve the problem.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You can access System Logs and other information on the computer's status in Console utility; where there are endless lists of all the processes ongoing in the Mac OS X. There are specific log-out and other automatic items the system will post to such logs.
•OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Such articles are helpful in so much as they also have additional links.
Perhaps the computer is not going to sleep. The system logs can tell this.
Regarding power management, sleep, and other activities, have you read through the article about the System Management Controller to see if any of the items listed there can help? They'd take time to go through the list. And the end item is a reset of the SMC, after reading through and troubleshooting from the list.
•Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
A good idea is to make a backup of your content in the computer, to an external hard disk drive, so when or if you end up totally erasing the hard disk drive (to include secure erase one-pass overwrite) and reformat GUID, that an all new system could be installed on there, in part of a larger troubleshooting effort.
Actually, if you have an externally enclosed hard disk drive with its own power supply, (not port power) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner (see Bombich software) to make a bootable clone of your entire system to a large enough external drive capable of booting in OS X, then you could get to the bottom of this issue. While keeping a boot copy of what you already have, because you can run the computer from an external clone.
•Mac Backup - Carbon Copy Cloner:
http://bombich.com/
A good source for external drives that can handle clones
is macsales; or a place to look to compare real details.
The problem could be based in software, or in hardware. Troubleshooting against either possibility is how to resolve this problem. Some models of earlier MacBook & other intel-based Macs do not really like Mavericks; or perhaps like it less than an earlier system it may have shipped with. The earliest like Snow Leopard best.
Anyway, there is a solution but it won't be a one-liner.
I've done some 40 hour days, troubleshooting issues.
Worst problem for me was buying one w/Applecare.
Good luck & happy computing!

G5 randomly wakes from sleep usually near midnight-screen sometimes flashes

Since handing down my G5 to my mom, it randomly wakes from sleep. I always notice that it happens at night because then I can see the light from the display. Not sure if it happens exactly at midnight each night but its usually near then. I just get up and put it back to sleep and its usually fine until the next night.
Occasionally when this happens the screen will flash - it will flash the desktop, then a black screen - and on and on. The only thing I could think of that might wake it up was that I used to have it set to speak the time every hour, but I have turned that off. Any suggestions?

You might learn more about why that computer is waking up by launching the Console utility and looking for messages around that time. If you see messages that might be related but don't understand them or aren't sure what to do about them, post them here and someone may be able to help.

Mbp randomly wakes from sleep

For some reason, my mbp SR 2.2ghz stock model randomly wakes from sleep for no reason roughly 20 minutes after I put it to sleep. I am about 10 feet from the computer and do not touch it. Auto wake from bluetooth is off. I reset the video ram, ran onyx, and tried everything i could think of. Nothing is plugged in. No programs are running. How do I fix this?

Follow the instruction listed in this thread…
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1077308
… and return the results. There might well be an issue within Mac OS X and or the hardware which needs identifying and this will help Apple identify/comfirm their suspicions.
By the way, if you use a password to wake your MBP from sleep you will need to disable it so your MBP won't go back to sleep.

Why does my MacBook Pro randomly go to sleep?

Hey everyone. I just recently noticed that in the middle of doing normal things on my MacBook Pro, it goes to sleep randomly. I have the 2.4ghz 13" 2010 model. It happened twice so far within a 10 minute period. It has happened while charging through the AC adapter. It wakes up fine like usual, and when i close the lid and open it up, it actually wakes up faster than normal. I'm wondering if i should contact apple, or bestbuy (i have a 4 year warranty there). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

MacBook refuses to wake from sleep!!! Please Help!

MacBook wakes from sleep mode for about 2 seconds then the screen just goes black. It seems as if the computer wakes from sleep properly but then screen only appears for a brief time. I did notice that my settings (background etc.) seemed to have been restored to default, not sure if this helps. Order of events below.
1. I hit the space bar
2. Computer makes noises then screen pops up
3. About 2 seconds later the screen goes black
4. Process repeats
Please Help...

I would suggest running some system maintenance and see if that clears it up. Have a look at the following: http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=2005041817191411

Macbook doesn't wake from sleep (bluetooth)?)

I bought a new bluetooth mouse and every so often my macbook doesnt wake from sleep. I have read some other bluetooth bugs, is there a workaround? I have been purposely disabling bluetooth before sleeping now and it has worked, but is there a more elegant workaround?

It was the Bluetooth setting. Here is how I fixed it:

Macbook won't wake from sleep - replaced logic board and batteries already

I have a 13" White Macbook on 10.5.5 that occasionally won't wake from sleep. This will happen with nothing plugged into the Macbook except for the AC adapter. I have done the firmware upgrade, reset the SMC, reinstalled Leopard from the DVDs twice, brought it into Genius and had the ram, sleep switch, and the logic board replaced. There are no bluetooth devices attached to the computer.
I've searched the forums but haven't found a definitive answer yet.

I've experienced the problem as well. I have the new aluminum macbook with all factory specs and no mods, except that I changed it from smart sleep to the original old mac behavior of instant sleep. It is intermittant and with mine, I've noticed that when the screen is open, the computer appears to be completely off, but when I close the computer the light on the front of the computer comes on. The only resolution I've found so far is to hold the power button for 5 seconds for a hard power down and then push it again--everything works fine.
There is indeed a sudden drop sensor, and in fact, it did happen after I accidentally hit the corner of my mac once on a tv while trying to set it down. That could be the answer...we might have to try disabling that because quite honestly, if I drop my mac while its on, I'm going to be more worried about the screen, the case, even the cute little plastic apple than the hard drive (I have backups galore).

Probelm With EArly 2008 8-core Mac Pro on Wake From Sleep

Well, after more than a year of being a flawless machine, I am now starting to have trouble with my 8-core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro purchased in January of 2008. A few days ago I noticed that when I woke the Mac Pro from sleep, the desktop came up momentarily, and then the screen went went black after a second or less. The power light on the front of the Mac Pro was still burning brightly, but I could not do anything but do a power button forced reboot. I did so, and the machine booted up to a blue screen, but would proceed no further. I then did a second power button forced reboot. The Mac Pro then booted up perfectly this time and all was well.
However, I have noticed since then that often when I wake the Mac Pro up from sleep, the desktop comes up and everything looks normal, but I have absolutely no ability to do anything. I can move the cursor on the screen but clicking the mouse on anything (menu items, icons, etc.) does nothing. I cannot do anything but a forced reboot to regain control of the machine.
I have booted from my drive that has the clone of the OS perfectly with no problems. I have used disk utility to check the Mac's main boot drive and all checks out fine. I have repaired permissions. I have reset the SMC, but nothing has helped. This morning when I went to wake up the Mac Pro, the desktop came up, but absolutely nothing was operative. Mouse cursor moved on the screen, but I could not get any menu item or icon to respond when I clicked on it. I did a power button reboot and the machine is working again, but every time I do one of these power button reboots Time Machine takes 15-20 minutes to prepare and do its backup. Clearly something is wrong, but short of never putting my Mac Pro to sleep again I am out of ideas as to what to do next.
For over a year I have been using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, but I don't know if this is involved in the wake from sleep problem or not. I should add that this keyboard/mouse combination has never previously given any trouble at all.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone may have.
Tom

Glad to hear you were already using SuperDuper and (use to) use Disk Warrior.
Can't be rushed. Take a look at how long it takes Micromat and SoftRAID to update their products to get a ballpark idea of time and work to have compatible versions. Or do like others, wait for "SP1" or a year, wait for Adobe and others to be ready before fully supporting.
The best time to upgrade to (Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and now Leopard) is a year out, even when the product is at its end release-point, not when it is just 1.0.
Minor but things First Aid misses, and can mean all the difference in the world. Major is bad enough that after recovering files you need, you should reformat and restore due to keys out of order, overlapped extents, corrupt journal (there is a tip about turning journaling off and back on to fix some problems).
I would wait for Disk Warrior (4.1.1) before upgrading to Leopard, rather than the other way around.
Alsoft can't work on an update until they have in their hands a stable and released version. And Disk Utility does and has changed during the last 18 months.
Apple is in the habit and you will find that developers are left in the dark during the last stage. Then 10.5.0 had too many bugs and problems. 10.5.2 was stable-ish, and changed the "rules of the game." 10.5.6 has had a few wrinkles of its own.
Apple warns to NOT use older versions of its own Leopard Disk Utility with the latest (10.5.6) when it comes to repairing permissions (see MacFixit).

Macbook Pro Randomly Goes to Sleep and Wont Wake Up

My Macbook Pro started having this problem a few months ago and it has gotten progressivly worse and worse. It will randomly go to sleep but I wont be able to wake it back up. The keys are lit up and the light on the front is pulsing, but no matter what I do it wont wake up. So I have to do a hard reset to turn it back on. This happens a few times a day so its pretty infuriating. I have read on other forums about people having this same problem but havent been able to find a solid solution.
Here is what kind of Macbook I have:
And here is the error report that I get once I restart my computer:

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hey this was happening to me too! So i called apple care, i have a the Late 2011 Macbook Pro, and this is what they suggested:
1. open system preferences
2. open engery saver
3. look at "Computer sleep" and move it over to a longer time period
          for instance I had mine at 5 minutes so thats why it would go to sleep all the time
     -now I set it to 25 minutes
Hope that fixes your problems!

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.
