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 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.

My MacBook Pro won't load up when I turn it on, just loads a gray screen

Try holding the option key on startup.

MAX shows PXI card when booted into Windows but not in Hypervisor mode

Hello again all you helpful forum-goers!
I'm having some difficulties with a Hypervisor system seeing the two Pickering 6 channel programmable resistor cards that are loaded into the PXI chassis. When I boot into Windows mode, MAX sees them under the My System just fine. When I then run the Hypervisor configuration software, I see them both listed, and have them assigned to the Real-Time OS. However, when I then boot into Hypervisor mode, MAX does not see them under the Remote Systems -> Hypervisor Target -> Chassis (or anywhere else), and the drivers report not seeing any modules either when I debug my code running on the real-time system.
Does anyone have any idea what setting or configuration I might have incorrect? Is there any other information I can provide that would be relevant or useful to answer this question? I'm not the main hardware guy, he just got married and so isn't available, so I'm out of my comfort zone. ;-) I write the software that runs on the system, though, so I'm not completely clueless. I know we just replaced the controller in the main chassis with a faster one (unfortunately I don't have the number on hand, the simulator is down in the lab), but I also know we are using that same controller and Pickering card on a different simulator and it is working just fine.
Any ideas? I very much appreciate your time!
-Joe
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nevermind, the answer turned out to be that I did not have the drivers fully installed on the real-time system. Apparently that caused it to not recognize the cards. I never did figure out / remember exactly how to install the Pickering drivers on the real-time side, but fortunately I was able to just copy all the files that had "Pickering" in their name from the C:\ni-rt\system folder of the real-time file directory from another simulator to this one. ;-)
Cheers!

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.

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, when power cable is disconnected!

So heres the full situation;
MacBook Pro mid 2012 on OS X 10.8.4, When connected to power i close the lid which puts it into sleep. Then when charger shows green light i disconnect power and open the lid but i just get a black screen for 10-15 secs and cant get it to auto wake, i have to press a few random keys and it suddenly shows the login screen!
Anyone else experienced this or know what the heck is happening?
Thanks in advance everybody

Since the Mac is mid 2012, unless you purchased Apple Care, not sure if it's stil covered by the one year limited warranty, but yes, I would tak it to an Apple Store.
You can make an appointment at a Genius Bar in advance > Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You've tried restart your Mac to test ??
And if you haven't done so, try Resetting the PRAM
And try quitting any open applications then test.

Macbook Pro won't turn on when scheduled

I recently bought a refurbished macbook pro ad I've set it to shut off at night and then wake up in the morning. Well…it shuts off fine when it's supposed to but it never turns on in the morning. I have no actual problems turning the computer on manually but I'm wondering why it won't turn on when it is scheduled to? Any thoughts…?

First step is a SMC reset:

MacBook Pro won't sleep properly when Aperture 1.1.2 is running.

I was working on photos in the airport. I closed the lid of my MacBook Pro, put it in my awesome BrainCell from Tom Bihn, got on the plane, and when I took out the MacBook after we passed 10,000 ft - my machine had crashed. It was insanely hot - like, too hot to literally handle. I booted it, and it reported kernel panic. I see the same behavior if I put the MacBook to sleep explicitly (which it appears to do) and Aperture is running. Crash, unless I'm plugged in and constantly giving it power.
My MacBook does not do this when apps like Firefox are running. This is very bad - it has caused corruption in one of my libraries already. Aside from always quitting Aperture before going to sleep, does anyone know of a fix for this?

Sleep/wake issues have haunted every powerbook I've owned, from the 3400 to the Lombard to my PB G4. I use a Kyocera KPC650 with my G4 PB, and the rule of thumb is it's necessary to kill the connection and remove the EVDO card BEFORE attempting to put the PowerBook to sleep. Just a bad idea to risk it.
I've had problems with USB dongles, hubs, etc. and after years of trying to resolve the source of sleep/wake issues, the general rule of thumb for ALL Mac PB/MBP is to remove peripheral devices before attempting sleep, or at least NEVER change what's inserted into the computer while it IS asleep (USB peripherals, drives, etc, but this even includes power adapters). A general observation is that the computer freaks out if status of peripherals is changed while asleep, and it wakes up to a different condition set than when it went to sleep. In most cases, resolution requires a hard reboot/re-start (sometimes this can be avoided by closing the lid, and trying to get the computer to re-engage sleep, then trying to wake it again).
In some cases, I suspect too many peripheral devices places a burden on the power supply, and the computer can't supply enough juice to power up the devices under the load.
So some problems stem from hardware issues, and some from software problems. Best answer is to not even try, as there's too many variables (e.g. right-sided USB ports behave differently than left-sided ports, etc).

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.

Macbook pro late 2013, strange sound when booting

My 3 days old macbook pro keeps strange sound when booting, it lasts like one second, and it reminds me of a cd drive trying to read cd, but here's no even the cd drive. what could be going on inside my mac, and should i take this to repair? the sound only comes when booting, not after boot, or when using.

You can return a new Mac within 14 days of purchase.
A new Mac is in warranty for 1 year from the date of purchase.

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.
