Macbook Pro Won't Wake From Deep Sleep

I'm having issues from my Macbook Pro waking from a deep sleep after my battery dies. If the battery dies and it goes into sleep, my Macbook Pro won't wake even if it's connected to power. I can remove the battery, hold down the power button, press keys and nothing happens.
I know the obvious thing is to not let the battery die, but I don't always work near outlets.
I've tried resetting the nvram and smc and nothing has worked. I'm probably going to bring it into Apple soon, but I really can't be without my computer for class.

Yes, I've tried that. It doesn't work. I've left the battery in, I've taken it out and left it out for a bit and nothing seems to work. It just turns back on whenever it feels like it.
I just had a sort of similar issue with a restart (no dead battery this time though). After my computer shutdown from a restart, it didn't want to boot back up. After holding down the power button and doing a few other things, I gave up. Then I closed the lid and set it down. It then decided to turn itself on.
I think I'm going to bring it in. I do massive amounts of design and web work on this thing and I can't have it messing up.

OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

Mac Pro won't wake from prolonged sleep in Mountain Lion

My Mac Pro won't wake from sleep after it is in sleep mode for several hours at a time. It will wake if the sleep period is short. But if it sleeps overnight it will not wake the next morning. Nothing seems to work. It requires a hard restart. I am running OS X 10.8.2. I read in another site that this problem was fixed for Macbook Air and Macbook Pro by turning off hibernate mode in Terminal. But I doubt this would help with my Mac Pro.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks.

Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

> during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something. You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape. If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar. This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar. Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed. If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present. When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

MacBook pro won't wake from sleep must remove battery

We have an early 2008 15" C2D MacBook pro. Frequently when we put it to sleep, it won't wake up. It doesn't respond to the power button. We have to pull the battery, wait a few minutes reinstall it and reboot.
What should we check out? Or are we better off taking it to the Store and getting it fixed. It's under Applecare.

When my late 2007 C2D MBP started doing that, it was after traveling with the computer. I finally reviewed the system log to find that, on attempting to wake, the computer was looking for the network at a hotel where we had stayed.
I opened System Preferences > Network, selected "Airport" and clicked on "Advanced." On the first tab is a list of networks the computer has remembered. I found the hotel network name and deleted it, along with about a dozen other now-remote networks accumulated during travel. I also unchecked "Remember any network this computer has joined."
Works fine now. All that show are the two local networks I use the most: one for home and another for a museum where I volunteer.
Easy to try, although I agree with tjk to have the Apple Store document the issue in case it proves to be something more sinister.

Imac won't wake from deep sleep

This just started a week ago- in the morning after my Imac has been asleep for a few hours, I will try to wake it by pressing the keyboard or mouse and nothing happens- powerswitch is unresponsive, I eventually have to unplug and replug to start it up. During the day it will sleep and awake normally, it just seems to happen after long periods of time. The only thing I can think of is recently there i installed an Itunes update, could this screw things up? I have a (pre intel) IMAC running OSX 10.3.9 -1.6ghz and 512MBSo far I did the following:
1. ran hardware diagnostic test from CD (passed)
2. Zapped pram (command-option, p and r during start-up)
3. File system check (fsck -yf)
4. Trashed powermanagement.plist preferences
5. Deleted system cache and repaired disk permissions
6. Reset open firmware ( reset-nvram, reset-all)
This morning I tried to wake up the imac and the same response, nothing. Sleep light pulsating, but when I touch the keys, there is no response, the imac seems to do into a deep sleep. I had to unplug and replug again. Is there anything else I can try?
This all seemed to start when I installed the latest security update and newest Itunes, could this be a connection? If so, is there anyway to uninstall these?
Imac G5 (pre-intel) Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.6ghz/ 512MB

Henry, there are reports of problems occurring with updates, I don't think you can un-install the Security update, and as far as reverting to an earlier version of iTunes, well, you could try and extract an earlier version from your receipts folder, but I would hesitate to mess with iTunes, you might lose your entire library.
What I would recommend is an Archive and install, or perhaps an upgrade to Tiger.
Let me know what you do,
Miriam

Macbook Pro won't boot! Deep sleep? HELP!

Hi,
Recently I started to experience problems with my Macbook Pro. When I'd boot into OSX, the system's screen would go completely blank after a couple of minutes of use.
I booted from a CD and repaired the disk.
I then booted my XP Pro partition on boot camp and started scan disk. IT stalled at 92%, so I left for a little while...
When I came back, the screen was completely blank again. I rebooted the computer.
This time, the screen stayed blank. The LED light on the front was glowing, the fans were running, but nothing was happening. I couldn't eject a CD in the drive.
I can get the system to display the grey screen and even boot a little ways into OSX by reseting the PMU or removing the RAM and reseating it. However, IT doesn't last very long until screen goes blank and I get the problem of being unable to boot again. I have managed to boot to the hardware test once, and it reported no problems with my hardware.
Any help in figuring out whats up would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi pcmuse,
try this step below stated :
1. Power up your MBPro.
2. Hold down these combinations : OptionCommand+PR.
Hold these keys until you hear 4 "bong" sounds before you let go of the keys.
See if the machine can boot up to OS.
3. If it fails,try to hold down these keys : ControlOption+ShiftPower upon powering up of your machine.
The next best thing to do after step 3,is to do a RESTORE on your machine and see if works.
If all else fails,I suggest that you bring your machine down to a nearest AASP as I suspect that you might have a faulty Hard Drive.

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep

I shut down using the apple menu, but closed the lid right after the icons on the desktop went away and didn't wait for it to fully shut down. Came back about an hour later to start it up again and after pressing the power button it starts up (makes fan noise) but all I see is a black screen (indicator light on front is dim). When I shut the lid the indicator light gets brighter (as if in reverse of putting it to sleep by closing the lid). Have tried doing a force shutdown by holding the power button down for 10 seconds and restarting. The computer seems to restart but screen is dark. Indicator light never pulsates as if really in sleep mode. I've plugged in battery to see if it needed chargeing, but the green light is on saying it's charged (as opposed to the orange light)Can anyone help?

If this is happening while you are using wireless networking, try this:
Mine did that when I let a bunch of wireless networks picked up during travel accumulate. A review of the system log showed that, on waking, the MBP was searching for a specific hotel network 60 miles away, where I'd stayed about 10 days before. To fix:
1) Open System Preferences > Network and make sure the Airport is selected
2) Click "Advanced" at the bottom of the airport page. A new window will appear, hopefully with its "Airport" tab selected. If not, make it so.
3) Using the + and - buttons, clear out all networks to which you no longer connect on at least a weekly basis.
4) Uncheck "remember networks this computer has joined."
It takes less time to do this than read what I typed. so try it and see if the sleep issues go away. I know this has fixed the sleep problem on many others MBPs.

MacBook Pro freezes when waking from deep sleep

When I plug in my Mac to charge overnight and go to unplug it in the morning, it will make the sound it does with the CD drive and then it acts like it's coming on. the first time I use it after I've unplugged it, the screen will come on like normal and show the login screen, when it does I can't move the mouse or type my password in for a minute or two. after about 20 seconds, the screen turns off...however I can turn it back on by clicking the power button but most of the time it still won't let me enter my password or move the mouse around. I'm not sure what the problem is. but it's only been doing this since I've updated to Yosemite.

Try turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" under the advanced section of the Bluetooth System Preferences. Hope this helps.

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

Macboor air 13 late 2010 freezes when wake from deep sleep

Hi. I have had this problem for a few months and still havent found a solution. This macbook air freezes and is totally unresponsive for five or six seconds when it wakes from deep sleep. I have tried:
1 Apple hardware test, which came up negative. No hardware problem detected
2 reset the SMC several times. No fix.
3 repaired permissions in disk utility, and also verified and repaired disk. Still no results.
4 restarted many times.
5 tried booting in safe mode, but it made the machine hang.
The only thing I havent tried yet is resetting the PRAM. in the event that that doesnt work, does anyone have any ideas. I only found thre

I think it might just depend on how often your machine does this. My MBA 13 has done what you are describing one or twice, but its a rare event. I'm not too worried about it, but you might want to contact AppleCare and see if they have any more information...

My iMac 24" late 2006 refuses to wake from deep sleep,

My iMac is refusing to wake from deep sleep or from a shutdown, will start if I persist in either using safe mode or command mode (cmd + s)but can take many attempts, have repaired permissions and verified disk, on permissions it is constantly changing the permissions on preference panes as listed below, but this is a shortened view, there are 23 lines like this.
permissions differ on "SystemLibrary/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane/Contents/Resources/sk.lproj/Di splaysPref.nib" should be drwxr-xr-x they are -rw-r- -r- -
Would it be ok to trash the Preference Pane folder and let it rebuild ???
Any help welcome

Helio, you can mostly ignore repeated Permission Repairs.
To remove Prefpanes, right click on one & nchoose Remove.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I have recently upgraded and am finding my iMac won't wake from a sleep state 80% of the time. What do I need to change or do to prevent this?

Hi 02SilverSport,
Try using the power button to wake the iMac.
OS X Mavericks: Using the power button
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5869
If you are using a wireless keyboard or mouse, check out this article:
OS X Mavericks: Wake your computer with a wireless mouse or keyboard
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13997
And for more generic troubleshooting, try this one:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
where there's a section for "Your computer cannot wake from sleep" and "Your computer is slow to wake from sleep".
