Macbook Pro won't wake up usb wireless mouse after sleep

When my MBP (early 2011) with ML 10.8.2 wakes from sleep, my wireless usb mouse doesn't work. I have to unplug an plug again the usb receiver. I would appreciate some help, please...
thanks in advance.

Indeed blackburntw,
It is all down to the Hall Effects switch, used not just on MBPs , but on PBs before them.
The problem is particularly obvious if you put an MBP13 down on top of one of the plastic MBs, though, as you will see in various threads here. Gives you the Dickens of a scare, in fact, until you move the computer, as , as long as you leave it there, no troubleshooting process will resolve it!
You'll be glad to know that Google and Apple are both already on top of the matter, though. Apple released a KB item about the matter back in 2009. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2917
(Sorry blackburntw, I couldn't resist. It really is a very weird experience when you first run into it, I agree. When it happened to me I was fortunate enough to have been reading the KB updates in the previous week. Otherwise I might have been sitting there wondering what the matter was until my wife wanted to use her MB that I'd plonked my MBP down on top of so that I could snaffle her charger for a while! It is certainly worth posting a reminder about every once in a while.)

  • MacBook Pro won't wake up or immediately goes to sleep on boot up

    Having spent some time trying to figure this one out (assuming software to be at fault), I thought it was worth sharing in case others are having similar problems.
    Because of the magnetic catch design on the current MacBook Pros, if you have a stack of MacBook laptops and have the top one open, you will not be able to fully boot the machine. Once it gets to the GUI, the screen blanks and the machine goes to sleep. The magnetic catch in the machine underneath causes the machine to think the screen is still shut - lifting the machine from the top of the stack releases the magnetic field and the machine correctly interprets that the screen is open, waking up the OS.
    It's therefore possible that other magnetic fields near to the catch part of a MacBook Pro can also cause a similar effect, so one to look out for if you are suffering from similar problems.
    I had been assuming that the machines in question had gone into a hibernated state as they had been left in the sleep state for a continued period, and the problem appeared to be intermittent, but applying across several machines.

  • 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 MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    My MacBook Pro won't go beyond a white screen, after I pushed the restart button. How can I get it to a login? I have routinely backed it up, but don't know how to bring that up, nor if I have a boot file on that external disk. Help!

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
    b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
    c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
    Step 3
    Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 4
    If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
    Step 5
    If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
    Step 6
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    Step 7
    If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
    If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 8
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
    Step 9
    If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.  
    Step 10
    Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 11
    Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 12
    This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
    Step 13
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

  • Macbook pro won't wake up when booted into Windows 7

    Macbook Pro (Late 2010) with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64bit. Bootcamp 3.3
    When booted into OS X, then close the lid, let the machine sleep and later, if I connect to power source and USB keyboard and mouse, and then tap keyboard, machine wakes up.
    If booted into Windows 7, if I follow same sequence, the machine won't wake up. The only way I can wake the machine up is by opening the lid.
    Not a big problem, but certainly an annoyance.
    Can anybody help?

    Did you use a geniune windows installation disc? I ask this because I worked on a computer today where someone had tried to use a Windows XP disc that came with a Dell computer. These do not work.
    If it was a genuine install disc, did you get all the way through with the installation, or did something go wrong during the install?

  • Macbook Pro won't operate with Netgear wireless router

    In my setup, the macbook pro's physical IP address has to be configured in my router and that seems to be entered OK. However, the macbook won't work wirelessly via the router. The router uses 128bit hex WEP key and the macbook at first seems to accept the key even though it fails to function. When I go back to check the settings however, it seems the macbook is requiring a WEP password, not a key. Could this be the cause of my problem? How can I sort out this problem please? TIA .... Greg

    First try with out a password. Then try a 10 digit WEP key.

  • MacBook Pro won't wake up my lexmark printer...

    After my Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 printer goes into energy saver mode or to "sleep" I can not wake it up by printing from my MacBook Pro.
    I can wake it up if I turn on my netbook and try to print and never had problems with the PC that was connected previously.
    The printer is connected wireless by a netgear router.
    All drivers and firmware are up to date.
    Usually turning it off by unplugging the printer and then back on fixes it.
    This doesn't happen ALL the time but 90% of the time.  The only time it wouldn't happen was one of the days I actually had a lexmark consultant on the phone that kind of knew what they were talking about.  Any time I've called when it wasn't working the person I'm talking to has no clue.
    Any fixes out there?!?!?!?
    PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Have read all through this thread trying to resolve my Rip Van Winkle problem with my MacBook Pro late 2011 and cannot get to the first stage of having the machine turn on to try the other suggestions.
    Machine was on, left alone for a short while, went to sleep and have been unable to awake it, period.  How are you folks getting your machines on to try the other things? Any suggestions as to actually get the machine on?? Am using older G4 machine currently.
    Have made an appt with "Genius Bar" for Thurs hoping for a fix.

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

    Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro (late 2009) 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 up and runs extremely hot while in sleep mode

    I have a mid 2011 baseline 15in Macbook Pro that has been acting up since upgrading to Mountain Lion.  When I put it into sleep mode the machine runs extremely hot and won't wake up without a hard shutdown.  This happens about 25% of the time.  Any ideas?

    Sorry I meant OS Maverick, not Mountain Lion. Everything worked fine on Mountain Lion.

  • Macbook pro won't wake up screen

    I have a most annoying problem. I have a Macbook Pro (12 mths old) running Mavericks. When not traveling I connect it to a 27" Apple screen. Frequently when I leave it for any length of time it won't wake the screen up. Even if I open the lid on the laptop it still doesn't help although the laptop is awake. I have tried resetting the pram and doing a disk integrity check. If I unplug the screen and replug it then wakes up. It was also doing it before I upgraded to Mavericks. 

    thanks. obviously i'd like to avoid such a time-intensive move before looking at other options.
    To make things more intresting I've fund it ONLY does it when plugged into a charger.
    AND if I briefly unplug the charger after the screen comes up black it immediately wakes up and stays on.
    weird.
    I've reset the SMC. But still get the same issue (if plugged in).

  • 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.

  • My MacBook Pro won't wake up, how do I wake it?

    My computer has been bouncing out of iPhoto- I've had to restart my computer a few times today.  In the past it would sometimes take a long time to wake up- I would press the brightness key or track pad and it would wake up.  Now it is on but I cannot get it to wake with a picture.  Anybody have a suggestion?

    Have read all through this thread trying to resolve my Rip Van Winkle problem with my MacBook Pro late 2011 and cannot get to the first stage of having the machine turn on to try the other suggestions.
    Machine was on, left alone for a short while, went to sleep and have been unable to awake it, period.  How are you folks getting your machines on to try the other things? Any suggestions as to actually get the machine on?? Am using older G4 machine currently.
    Have made an appt with "Genius Bar" for Thurs hoping for a fix.

  • 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.
