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 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.

  • 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.

  • Mac Book Pro won't wake up from "sleep mode"

    After putting laptop to sleep last night, I wake up to a computer in "sleep mode"
    The screen is black and not responding, the sleep indicator is lit steadily (not slowly blinking as it normally does in sleep mode) but the computer does not seem to respond to anything. Screen stays black. Does anyone have same issue? I was told that the video chip is shot but I am not sure. Any advise would be appreciated. Thank you.

    An accumulation of old wireless networks you have joined can cause similar symptoms. If you can get the computer running, do System Preferences > Network and select the Airport connection, then click the "Advanced..." button. You should see a window listing all networks you've joined. Delete all except those you use on a weekly basis. Restart and try letting it sleep.
    When my Late 2007 MBP had the same symptoms as you describe, the system log showed it was try to connect to a lodge network miles away where I stayed a few weeks before. Deleting about 30 unused networks accumulated during months or travel fixed the issue, and it's not recurred, because I kno keep the list tidy.

  • 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).

  • Won't wake up from sleep mode

    I have only had my iMac for a couple weeks and four times now it won't wake up from sleep mode. I have to use the on/off button for a response.

    Since you have a new machine, I would call Apple immediately and have them deal with the problem.

  • X1C won't wake up from sleep mode using keyboard

    Hi...so finally got my X1C today. One thing I am noticing is that the machine won't wake up from sleep mode when I press any key on the keyboard -- it only wake up by pressing the power key. This is a bit unexpected to me. Is it by design, and is there any way to change this?
    Thanks for your help.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Does it awaken from stand-by if you press the Fn key? That's been the ThinkPad standard for as long as I can remember.

  • Macbook Pro (2012) won't wake up from sleep mode

    Hi,
    When I purchased the Macbook it came with Mountain Lion. It worked fine. Then I updated to Maverick and lots of problems happened. The most annoying one is the wake up thing. I was glad to update to Yosemite thinking that it would resolve my problems. Nope. It still wake up very slowly from sleep mode, sometimes not at all -- I have to shut it down.
    I don't know what to do.
    (BTW, I tried every trick suggested on the Apple support page: SMC, PRAM...)
    Help !
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Mac Pro will not wake up from sleep mode

    Hi,
    In my Energy Saver I have my system set to go to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used.  Unfortuantely, when I try to wake the system up from sleep mode, it freezes on the screen saver and I have to hard restart the computer to get it to turn on again.  I see that this is an issue with MacBook Pros, but I'm not seeing much in the Mac Pro Towers.  I did see a thread about Parallels VM causing causing OSX to not wake up from hibernation mode, but I am not always running my VM Ware when the system decides to not wake up.  Any help/advice is appreciated.
    Thank you,

    .... and you fail to mention the model SSD and firmware version... or how you installed or cloned the system
    most people also move most of their user folder to another hard drive.
    sounds like a more normal Mail + OS issue if just that.
    hard restarts = directory corruption so don't reboot w/o first either Recovery Mode, then follow up with Safe Boot.
    And maybe you have 3rd party hardware or software that is not compatible with 10.8.2 needs to be considered as well.
    2008 model 3,1 also are having a lot of issues this year. Including another critical piece, what gpu it has.

  • Computer won't wake up from sleep mode

    Hello I am having an issue with my computer not waking up from sleep mode.
    Example:
    I walk away from my computer for a certain amout of hours and it goes into sleep mode. I come back and move the mouse or hit any keys on the keyboard; nothing, doesnt come back to life.
    I have the latest driver updates, I have tried looking this up but came up with nothing, and also I thought that I set it so it wouldn't go to sleep but don't know if I did it right.
    This is my computer:
    Laptop Toshiba Qosmio x505-(sorry don't know the exact spec)
    Thank you,
    Dillan

    Dillan
    Try resetting the power plans to the default. Enter this at an elevated command prompt.
       powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    If you need to repost, look on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your laptop. Gives us the full model name/number like Qosmio X505-Q830, and give us your model's part number like PQX33U-00K00H. As well, please confrim what OS version you're using like Windows 7 64bit.
    Let us know what happens. Good luck.

  • 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.

  • 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 won't "wake up" from sleep mode since downloading Mavericks.

    I have a 2008 MacBook and since downloading Mavericks, I've had a lot of issues when the computer is in "sleep mode." There are many times where it won't wake up and just remains a black screen. I'm forced to shut it down and turn it back on. When I do this, I have to login and it reloads everything I had had opened when it was put into sleep mode. Help! Thanks.

    I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 2.4
