Macbook Pro Retina Slow Wake Up from sleep

Hi, my 13-in MacBook Pro is the late 2013 version installed with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
I have noticed that ever since I upgraded my OS from 10.9.3 to my current one, whenever my MBP goes to sleep (standby mode) and when I want to continue using it, swiping my fingers across the trackpad will bring the cursor back on but on a BLACK blank screen. It will then take about another 15-20 seconds before my screen comes back on. It is irritating especially when I am rushing my work.
On the other hand, pressing any key on my keyboard brings it right back to my start screen.
Is it a problem with the OS or just my MBP?

Yeah I've had this problem too, unfortunately there's no way round it but to wait a few seconds after it goes to sleep before touching the trackpad or the keyboard.

MacBook Pro doesn't wake up from sleep mode

My MacBook Pro (late 2011) with OS Mavericks doesn't wake up from sleep mode anymore. Battery is fully charged and the cable is plugged in. I can still hear the ventilator running, but that's all. I never had any problems, but since about 2 weeks this problem occurs. It usually then woke up after 10-15min, but now nothing happened since 4 hours.
Is there anyone who could possible help me? Unfortunately there is no Apple Store in my area where I could go to.

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
Step 5
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

HT203176 MacBook Pro will not wake up from sleep

My MacBook Prof laptop will not awaken from sleep sometimes. The laptop could be left open and I walk away for awhile. Come back and it is in the black screen status. When I hit a key to wake it up....it won't. Have to hold the power key down for several seconds to turn it off, then push power key to turn back on. Also, sometimes I close the lid and walk away. Come back several hours later and it will not wake up. Went to the Apple store a few weeks ago. They ran a quick diagnostic on my hardware and said it was all fine. They suggested they wipe clean the hard drive and I start fresh. We did and everything was fine for a few weeks. Now it starting all over again? Very frustrating and time consuming to have to restart your computer multiple times a day.
Any suggestions or thoughts? Could it be a hardware issue? Should I let the Apple store run the 7 hours hardware test?
Thanks.

How recently? I would still give them a call. You may be surprised at the outcome.

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

Macbook Pro Freezes after wake up from sleep

My Macbook Pro 5,5 with mountian Lion freezes after waking up from sleep. i have 8 GB RAM and did a hardware test wich was passed. I also have a SSD of 240 GB in the optical drive. this is my startup drive. Another HD is my workdrive. The first thing I see is that the Airport does not come back and it seems that is does not wake up. After that the whole finder freezes.
What can be the problem?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

MacBook Pro will not wake up from sleep

When I left for work, my MBP (2007) was working fine, I put it to sleep).
When I got back from work, I tried to wake it up, and nothing.
I powered it down and tried to reboot. Nothing, not even the chime.
I pulled the battery, and held the start button for 10 seconds.
Tried to reboot with and without the battery; no chime, dark display.
Sounds like my firmware fried, and Applecare expired recently.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep mode

When I put my macbook pro to sleep, it does not wake up. If I turn it off after every time I use it, it is fine. Is there a problem with the sleep function or with the battery? Also, I am concerned that my mac's speed is slowing down, is this related?

I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 2.4
Have you by any chance installed a new RAM?. I've just added new 8 GB RAMs & I noticed the issue afterwards, but I'm still not sure if it's the cause.

Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep

I've had my 15" Macbook Pro for 3 years now, and only recently have I started having this problem. When I have my Mac on (plugged in or unplugged) and I walk away it will go to sleep and the only way I can get it to wake up (without plugging in external mouse and external keyboard) is if I restart. This is very problematic if I am working on something important.

Anything new on the "Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep" problem?

I just had it for the first time, and did the "hold down power button to reset" option. Scary, but I see I'm definitely not the only one with this problem. (To clarify, it's when I open up the computer after putting it to sleep, and get only a movable cursor and a black screen.) The computer is about a month and a half old. I'd been putting it to sleep regularly that entire time with no problems that I can tell (except the battery does have to recharge when I plug it in after sleep for a long time, but as far as I can tell, it IS asleep during that time - the laptop is still cold).
I don't have anything attached to it or linked to it with Bluetooth (only external thingie is an Airport Express), and I don't use Time Machine. I've seen some of the other suggestions, and I haven't tried them yet, but the page on the SMC reset makes all sorts of dire warnings about MAKE SURE YOU TRY EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE DOING THIS. How should I approach those warnings? Anything new anywhere I could try for next time? Oh, and is there a more computer-friendly way to get out of that black screen than what I did - holding down the power button?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Has that actually worked for anyone? The posts I've read here (at least for those w/o Snow Leopard) only mention it as something that HASN'T.
Has method of putting the computer to sleep had any relevance? Is this something I should take to some level of official Apple folk? I really hope they're working on it (it seems to have existed in Leopard for quite a while now, though if it's happening more often with Snow Leopard, I'm hoping that creates new impetus).

Macbook pro screen dims after waking from sleep?

Does anyone know why my macbook pro screen dims when waking from sleep or waking from my screen saver? I can't get it to stop doing this. Thanks.

It sounds like I have the same thing happening. It's more like the colors are washed out, like there is less contrast. I have a hot corner set up for my screen saver. Once I activate the screen saver for a second and then deactivate it, the Macbook screen goes back to normal. I have a 30" Samsung 305T monitor set up as a second (main) screen for when I'm working at home, which is most of the time. I haven't had it unplugged from the Macbook since this started, so I don't know if it happens by itself. I do know that the Samsung looks fine when waking up from the screen saver at the same time.
I tried to find others with this problem in this forum, but got tired of looking through all the other posts that had nothing to do with this problem.
Can anyone help us?

My macbook pro doesn't wake up after sleep

my macbook pro doesn't wake up after sleep

I'm having the same issue. I've had my logic board replaced twice now, which I did last week and then Monday I had to take it to a Genius Bar again because my hard drive cable was malfunctioning. I don't know why it's happening but I'm really starting to get frustrated with my machine. I bought my MacBook Pro brand new last year in September and ever since I've dropped it in November, it's been really glitchy. After I dropped it, I had to replace my Logic board, graphics card, and hard drive and they covered it.

13.3" macbook pro flickering screen when waking from sleep

I have a Mid 2012 13.3" MacBook Pro (non-Retina) laptop that has been working well, until the last few days. The laptop has had no physical damage and no liquid damage. I have put the laptop to sleep by closing the lid. When the laptop lid is raised and the laptop turns on this last week I have noticed that the screen flickers and then appears to be on, but the screen is a grey color. I have been able to press the power button to put the computer back to sleep. Usually when pressing the power button to wake it from sleep the screen issues have cleared up.
Is there a known issue that may cause the issue with the flickering/grey screen or could there be a short in the wiring that powers the screen?

Hey there Oregan Mac User,
It sounds like you are getting screen flickers when trying to wake your device from sleep. I recommend the troubleshooting form the article named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Macbook Pro Retina 13'' - Power button and sleep mode

I just updated my Mac, which is the latest Macbook Pro Retina 13''. All of a sudden, it refuses to enter sleep mode when I press the power button, which worked perfectly fine before the update. I now have to manually enter sleep mode from the monitor. After entering sleep mode, It works fine to press the power button to make it work again, but not reverse. Why?
Thanks in advance!

I have this problem as well. Worked perfectly before I updated to OS X Mavericks (10.9.2).
Now I have to hold the power button in for it to sleep or click on it for a few times. But there is no problem when I'm going to wake the computer up, just a single push and it works fine. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? Any respond from Apple regarding this issue and how to solve it? Or should i contact my retailer?

Much slower wake-up from sleep since upgrade to ML

Hello,
I am running Macbook Pro Retina and just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Everything is working fine except I find a much slower wake-up time when I open the lid.
On Original Lion the laptop was always waking up in less than 1 s. Now it's systematically more than 5.
I am wondering if anyone has a similar behavior and if this can be a ML issue?
I wish not to have to reinstall ML from scratch having to restore so many applications and settings...
I have tried PRAM reset but no help.
Anyone?
Thanks
Jeremy

Some issues solved.
I have closed down iCloud and all running a whole lot better.
Also did another restart after unplugging the power lead etc.
1) I don't need or use iCloud so on Lion it was logged out.But Mountain Lion seems to have decided I do need it and some parts turned back on.Only trouble was that not knowing iCloud was turned on some data in iCal was lost.Had to go back into iCloud bring iCal up to date,export and then reimport after iCloud logged out.
2) Log on from turn off now much better and Safari so much quicker.
3)I have no idea if iCloud was the problem and the SMC reset curred the issue and I am not worried it is working
I can live without the bother of iCloud

MacBook Pro won't wake up from non-sleep/energy mode state

Because I at times go on instant messenger or for whatever reason do not want my computer to go to sleep, I have my energy saver system preferences set at "put the computer to sleep NEVER." However, after I return to the computer after a few hours and press the space key, the screen remains black and will not start up from this energy-mode state. I have to press the powerkey to completely shut off the computer and then re-boot it again. I have tried re-setting the PMU & the problem remains. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try hitting Command + option + delete for two seconds.
The sleep command should bring your MBP from its deep slumber.
