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!!!
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

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

  • 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.

  • MacBook Pro Won't wake after going to sleep.

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. My 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) will go to sleep and then not respond when trying to wake. This only happens when my computer goes to sleep with the display open (usually when watching DVD's or writing papers). The indicator light stays bright and the only way to get it responding again is to shut the whole thing down by holding the power button I have searched the forms and can't find anything that has worked... I have cleared the PRAM and reset the SMC as it said to do on other posts on these forms, but nothing has worked. I have run all OS X updates and firmware updates. I'm running on 10.6.2.
    I have heard it could be the Bluetooth or an external drive attached... neither of them are on my mac.
    Should I take it into the apple store? Or has someone figured this out?
    Thanks!

    Sorry for such a long delayed response...
    I was able to get to an apple store this past weekend, and let me tell you... I'm about finished with there great "support".
    Right before I went to the store, I tried to eject a disk. Well the cloth in the SuperDrive (I assume to protect the drive from dust and such) Pulled up with my disk. So I get the Apple store, describe my problem and what happened with the cloth piece. The "Genius" writes up a form and tells me they have to run diagnostic and it will take a couple days... and I will get a call when its done (1-3 days).
    Well on day number 3 I called up the store and they told me it was ready to be picked up? I asked if anything had been fixed and they told me they could not reproduce my "sleep issue", so they couldn't fix that.. but told me the cloth piece in the SuperDrive had been fixed.
    I drive an hour (one way) to the Apple store to find that all they did was PULLED OUT the cloth... they did not replace it! So basically I have a hole for a Super Drive.
    I asked why I was not called to say that my computer was ready to be picked up... didn't get an answer on that one.
    I asked why my SuperDrive was said to be fixed, when nothing was done... they told me that it would have to be sent out to the factory store for that to be fixed (FIRST TIME THEY MENTIONED THAT!) Oh, and that would take 5-7 business days. Well that's not going to happen right now considering I'm a college student that NEEDS a working computer!
    So I go home, angry... start just putting all my important documents back on the computer. And the screen starts blinking!!!! I guess now I have the same thing described in another post on these forms...
    Lets just say that I'm not very happy with Apple right now! If anybody else has success on either the sleep issue or the screen blinking issue, please let me know!
    Thank you!

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My mac won't wake up from a sleep and I have to unplug it to reboot as the power button doesn't function as well.  Any suggestions?  Running Lion 10.7.4 and sending all reports in.

    My mac won't wake up from a sleep and I have to unplug it to reboot as the power button doesn't function as well.  Any suggestions?  Running Lion 10.7.4 and sending all reports in to Apple.

    First things first:
    Update your profile (equipent, OSX, etc)
    In Lion MS office2004 is not compatible, are you stIll using it?
    Do the SMC RESET and do the PRAM reset.

    > 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.

  • 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 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.
