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 won't "wake" up from sleep, when being folded
When I "fold" computer it goes to sleep. But, when I flip up the screen again, my Mac won't "wake" up from sleep mode anymore.
Do anyone know how to fix this problem?
BR
Christian
I have a MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8.I've solved my problem.
I have reset my MacBook's PRAM settings.
It's very easy: link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Hope this helps
Best regards,

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.

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. -
Early 2008 Mac Pro wakes up from sleep with Mavericks.
Ever since I upgraded to OSX Mavericks on Tuesday, my early 2008 Mac Pro keeps waking up from sleep mode every couple hours. It goes back to sleep again on its own though after a minute, so I'm thinking it's some kind of new automated feature that I'm not aware of. With the Mac Pro being fairly loud when it wakes up from sleep mode, it woke me up three times last night! Is there some kind of option in the system preferences that I'm not aware of that can deactivate this new behavior? I usually only shut down my computer once a week, and keep it in sleep mode when I'm not using it most of the time, but I'm going to have to start shutting it down every night now to keep it from waking me up throughout the night...
Hello MARl0,
You may want to disable the Power Nap functionality, if available, in System Preferences -> Energy Saver.

Application launches fail after wake up from sleep when switching from one open directory to another
I take my MacBook Pro back and forth from home to work. Open Directory is set up at both locations running on Snow Leopard server. These two locations are entirely separate domains and IP networks. The only thing that is the same is my username and password, which is the same in both locations.
If I put my machine to sleep in one location and move to the other location and wake it up, I can usually launch one application, then no other applications launch and the machine is pretty much frozen up except for mouse cursor movement. Using command-shift-escape and relaunching the finder doesn't help.
It is as if the launch daemon has been made inoperative. Apps just sit and bounce.
Should one be able to log in one one network with open directory. Close all applications, move to an entirely different network, and wake up from sleep and continue working? The login/password is identical on both open directory setups.
Both home and work are set up so the users can "travel" and the machines are not "bound" to the open directory server.
I've started using the "other" login box to login in which I think keeps the machine more independent of open directory and that seems to work better for moving between networks.
Any ideas and/or comment welcome.
(my DNS seems fine in both environments. running changeip gets "success" in both places)After reading another post that popped up under "More Like This" after I posted this I may have found at least a temporary fix. Unplugging and reseating the MDP adapter in the MacPro didn't accomplish anything but unplugging/reseating the HDMI plug in the Viewsonic brought it back to life.
I guess I can live with this but it would be nice knowing that there's a more permanent fix for this. -
MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .
Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE helpWelcome to Apple Discussions:
You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions? -
MacBook Pro goes out of sleep when unplugging the the power cord
When my MacBook Pro 13'' is in sleep-mode with the lid down and with the power cord plugged in,
if you the unplug the power cord the computer goes out of sleep-mode.
The same when it is in sleep-mode without the power cord, it goes out of sleep
when the cord is replugged in, although the lid is still down.
Anyone who have had the same problem?I'm having the same issue! I took it to the Apple store, they tested it all out and none of the techs were able to fix it or heard of the issue before.
They told me to reinstall OSx which I did and same issue. -
New MacBook Pro won't ake up from sleep with Express Card in it.
My Mac won't come out of sleep if there is an express card in it. If I hit the power switch both screens light up but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. My only option at this point is to hold the power switch and (to quote Moss) "Force and unexpected reboot".
It also locks up if I power off and remove the card while it is awake.
Any help would be appreciated. If the answer is to load the next version of the OS to be released this month, I'll do that.I have the same problem....MBP not waking from sleep with SIIG 2-Port ExpressCard installed....
10.4.10 etc..... Same thing happened with 10.4.9
I'll have to try the "Turn Power Off" command from the menu bar to see if that helps. But I just figure on having to do a funky restart if the machine goes to sleep on me.
Usually I'm editing and having the Energy Saver set to "Never Sleep" because that screws up editing software. But when I'm not editing....sleep my pretty! -
MacBook wakes up from sleep when it shouldn't
Especially MacBook Pro's with bigger screens tend to wake up if they get a little bit of pressure one the screen causing the keys to go down and wake the MacBook/MacBook Pro up. This can drain the battery making the MacBook unavailable for beeing used while traveling.
Is there a way to prevent the MacBook from waking up through the keyboard? It would be helpful to have the MacBook wake up only by pressing the PowerUp-Button.Apple has a KB article about this. They recommend you not connect or disconnect any external device (USB or FW) while the computer is asleep. It can cause pre-mature wake up even with the lid closed resulting in a lot of heat generation. This would not be desirable if the computer were in a closed area. It can also cause the computer to shutdown or kernel panic.

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 Retina awakes from sleep to grey mode of my wallpaper
I just bought a new MacBook Pro Retina with NVidia Graphics Card and OS X 10.10.2. When the computer is put to sleep overnight and I wake it in morning by opening lid, a strange thing occurs. The screen first shows my chosen wallpaper in a grey mode before wallpaper changes to full color within 5 seconds. Is this normal? If computer goes to sleep mode for a short period of time this does not happen. Everything else normal and no other problems.
Agree with Kappy, but it you want to try to solve it.

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?

Macbook Pro 13" will not sleep when I shut the lid
Hello Community,
This is my first time using the forum. I have a macbook pro 13" 2009 model. Recently I had my MBP connected to an external monitor. I shut the lid while it was connected to the monitor and forgot to turn off my bluetooth mouse. Later that night the mouse was bumped, waking my macbook and setting it to clamshell mode. I put it to sleep again, opened the lid and woke it, but the LCD on the laptop did not turn on. I reset the PRAM and the NVRAM with no luck. I disconnected the monitor, rested the P/NVRAM and it would boot with the laptop screen and once everything was loaded my screen went black and then went to sleep on its own. I tried powering on and off using the P/NVRAM key commands...and nothing. So I opened the bottom case and physically disconnect the battery, reconnected the battery, put the bottom plate back on and powered it up. The screen began working again, now I have a new problem, the MBP WILL NOT sleep when I shut the lid anymore. I even reinstalled the OS and still no luck? If anyone has anything helpful that I could try to get this feature working again it would be much appreciated. If there is some terminal command I could try or some other troubleshooting method. I even put a magnet by the right side of the keyboard to try to trigger the sleep switch.
Any advice would be appreciated.I resolved my issue in a very unlikely way. In my earlier post I mentioned that I wiped my hard drive and was starting from scratch. Well I reinstalled windows 7 through bootcamp and it fixed my sleep issue. That's right folks...Windows fixed my mac. I think that it was an EFI issue. I think this because windows 7 uses EFI and during installation it must have reset the sleep values to normal. I feel when you reinstall Mac OSX the EFI partition on the drive should get wiped and reinstalled as well. I also feel that apple should have an option within System Prefs for the user to select what the way is that the computer responds when the lid is shut instead of the ritual of trickery and problems that the clamshell mode can cause.
Hope this helps someone.
