Macbook randomly wakes up from sleep!

Hello,
I have a macbook 13" (white) and I use 10.5.2. When I set my macbook to sleep it does what it is supposed to. But it randomly wakes up. It does that when I am using the power adapter or battery. It even does it when I have the lid closed. It is really annoying, because I never know if it is going to stay asleep or not. Sometimes it wakes up at a certain time (19:00) and sometimes it simply wakes up whenever. I looked for messages in the consoles and it only showed that it went to sleep and woke up. Not why.
However, there is a message in the console that keeps coming up (every 10 seconds):
2/18/08 6:41:00 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent[13413]) posix_spawn("/Applications/CheckUp.app/Contents/MacOS/CheckUpAgent", ...): No such file or directory
2/18/08 6:41:01 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent[13413]) Exited with exit code: 1
2/18/08 6:41:01 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.app4mac.CheckUpAgent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
Is this normal? What is wrong with my mac?? Please help me...
P.S.: I do not have it scheduled to wake up in the preferences. I do, however use iSleep, but it is not started when this problem occurs.
And it did this with 10.5.1 too...

I'm going to make 2 assumptions: 1) you know it is going to sleep because you can see the little diode blinking on and off. 2) in the energy tab of the system preferences you don't have the computer configure to wake up at a particular time.
You could fiddle faddle about like this for days and never find it. I know - its why my hairline is receding Create a new account and when you put it asleep disconnect everything but the power cord and see if the computer still wakes up. If not you know the problem was one of your peripherals or something in your account. Still logged into the test account, start adding peripherals one at a time. If you wake up at any point you now have a suspect peripheral. If not, it is your account.

MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE help

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions?

Macbook Pro wakes up from sleep when express card inserted

Hi,
my macbook pro (no unibody, 10.5.7) wakes up from sleep when I have my express card 34 (Hama 16GB) inserted. Is there any trick to disable wake up when a drive is inserted? I tried to eject the disk before going to sleep with a shell script but it automounts the device... I attached my log... I hope somebody can help! Thanks a lot!

Hey, thanks 4 your response... Well I figured that out... I hoped that there was a way to prevent system calls, regarding devices, to wake up my macbook pro... something like: forbid interrupts while asleep
If you ever hear of a way to fix it please let me know...
I think a solution would be to disable automount on the express card device... I use it for my time machine backup and really DON'T want to remove the card every five minutes...
Cheers, Philipp

My Macbook wont WAKE UP from SLEEP!! help!!

If my macbook stays in sleep mode for more than 1 hour it wont "wake up" from sleep .. and all I can see is a black screen and the sound of fans .. so I have to shut it down.
When I wake it up again it makes three constant BEEPS! :S so I take the battery out and when I put it back in and turn it up it will load everything that was up before sleeping ..
So weird!! what can I do?? I've tried:
SMC reset. PRAM. reset. taking out/back in 2g ram memories ..
HELP!

10.5.7 - randomly wakes up from sleep.

After updating to 10.5.7 my iMac starts up from sleep function randomly, aprox. 25 min after it goes to sleep. If I choose sleep from the menu or it goes automatically it always starts up again. I have to turn the machine off to avoid this. Can anyone help med with this? I have tried to repair disk, and downloaded and installed the Combo Update from Apple.

If restoring from a backup didn't fix it, there may be corrupted data or settings that are in the backup used. First try resetting settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
If that doesn't help, restore as a new iPhone - no other choice. If restoring as new doesn't work, there is a hardware problem and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius Bar.

My macbook doesnt wake up from sleep mode, my macbook doesnt wake up from sleep mode

What to do when the computer doesnt wake up form sleep mode when left for a couple of hours?

Hit me over the head enough times with a fact and it will sink in.
In the front right corner where your right wrist sets when typing there is a light in the dot of the i in Thinkpad. When the computer is asleep, what is that light doing? When you try waking up the computer and the screen is black, is the light doing anything?
Do you have the power manager installed?

Not unless you live in the Arctic Circle. Safe storage temperatures are as low as -13° F (-24° C) according to Apple.

Internet connection does not work when Macbook wakes up from sleep

I recently installed MAC OSX LION. After that whenever the macbook pro wakes up from sleep, the internet connection does not work. I get a message 'DNS lookup failed'. I have to Turn off the WIFI and turn it back on every time. Has anyone come across this?

Same problem here. But I am afraid it has nothing to do with Safari because I don't even have Safari open. When it wakes from sleep, it has no internet connection and i cannot get me mail unless I shut wifi off and then back on. This happened back at the start of Snow Leopard too and it was something Apple eventually fixed.

MBP Wakes itself from sleep

Hi, I've searched the forums and can't seem to find anyone else with the same issue.
My brand new MBP 15" 2.4 is waking from sleep all by itself, without me touching it. I've tried sending it to sleep on it's own, with displays and ext. HD's disconnected, I still get the same issue.
I've just caught my computer running in my bag with the lid shut and the fans absolutely blazing. Any thoughts?
It's only recently started doing this, and the only thing I can remember that is different is the recent firmware update - would this have anything to do with the problem I'm experiencing?

I experienced random wake up from sleep followed by an ejecting noise sound from the optical drive just like how one usually wakes it up from sleep.
My troubleshoot included the following:
1. Uncountable SMC reset
2. Go to this forum, read, and post
3. Re-install OS X 4 times
4. De-attach all peripherals, reboot, turn AirPort/Bluetooth off, with no Applications/Dashboard running, select Sleep from Apple menu
5. Close the lid manually
6. Keep a running log of time when MBP wakes up by itself, and how long it sleeps, brought it to my first trip to Genius Bar.
7. First trip to Genius Bar, and was sent home as the symptom did not reprodruce in front of them since it was random despite the log I showed
8. Second trip, symptom occured, problem acknowledged, and got it repaired. It was the Logic Board.
It wasn't a very pleasant experience at all, but ever since the fix, my MBP sleeps like a baby.

Short flickering when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode MacBook Pro Late 2013

Hello everyone!
I have a question concerning the display of my new MacBook Pro with retina display (late 2013).
Sometimes when opening the lid when the notebook wakes up from sleep mode, the display is flickering for like two seconds. Then everything is normal again.
This specially occurs when the lid has been closed for a longer time. It makes no difference if the power adapter is plugged in or not.
Have you experienced a similar flickering with your MacBook Pro?
Thank you in advance!

Hello!
I have the same problem with my late 2012 MacBook Pro Retina. The constant flickering after being awoken from sleep was a minor annoyance for me so I contacted Apple Support.
I shall explain what I have done thus far, and I recommend you follow the same steps as I did to tick off possible causes:
Firstly, I reset my PRAM (http://support.apple.com/kb/ph14222) and SMC (ttp://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964).
The issue still remained so I checked if the flickering occurred in a new user (if it does not then it points to your account having a setting which is causing the flickering - possibly third party). For me the flickering continued so I tested it in Safe Boot (which worked fine!).
I then ran (just to be certain) the Apple Hardware Test (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509). All seemed to be OK. So I reinstalled OS X and still the issue remained.
It was then I had an Apple Support person 'screen share' with me and we went through certain folders. My GPU folder had an unusual amount of files so we trashed them and began a restart however this led to a bigger problem; my notebook wouldn't boot (not even in Safe Boot!), so be very weary at this stage, I'm not sure if this was a rare case or we deleted something we shouldn't have. I then had to go into recovery mode to get back to square one.
Back to the initial problem I reinstalled a 'clean' OS X version from recovery mode; this was to determine whether if the data is corrupted on my account or if it's something else; most likely hardware by now even if there was nothing that came up in the hardware test (it won't account for everything). I checked from both a backup of my data and then from a fresh user after reinstalling OS X and still the flickering continued.
It was then a Senior Apple Support person set up an appointment to have my MacBook looked at and possibly repaired (it could be a minor wire causing the problem).
That is the point I am at now, so for my case it seems like a minor hardware problem. If your case is as similar as mine I recommend making an appointment with them to run more sophisticated hardware tests that your own MacBook would not run.
I will comment again when my issue is completely resolved for those who come across this Discussion in the future.
Hope this helps!

MacBook screen goes gray and won't wake up from sleep - 10.6.2

We have a MacBook Alum running 10.6.2 with 4gb ram.
We recently upgraded to 10.6.2 from Leopard and this issue started to happen.
It seems that as the MacBook goes to sleep or goes to the screensaver mode, the screen goes gray and won't wake up from sleep or screensaver mode without a hard reboot.
Is Apple aware of this issue? It did not happen with the previous version of Leopard. This issue arrived when we upgraded to Snow Leopard. Other than the sleep issue, SL is rock solid. Kudos to Apple for producing a great OS!

Hi GrooveDaddy,
Have you contacted AppleCare via telephone to make them aware of this issue? It definitely doesn't sound like normal behavior. What sort of troubleshooting have you done so far on the issue? What sort of settings do you have on your screen saver? Password protected? Custom iPhoto slideshow?
What if you manually sleep the machine by closing the lid or engaging it via software (via the Apple menu) does the screen have the issue in both scenarios?

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.

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.

New macbook air (OS X) won't wake up from sleep

My brand new macbook air running on OS X Mav will often times not wake up from sleep, causing me to have to force it to restart in order to be able to do anything. Once it's awake it works perfectly until it falls asleep again. Any tips on things I should try?

Failure to wake from sleep is not normal regardless of the Energy Saver settings.
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

Macbook under a year old keeps freezing and often won't wake up from sleep

So in the past week or so my 2012 Macbook has been having a lot of hiccups. I started noticing it wouldn't wake up from sleep and I'd have to just power it down. Then one day I was listening to streaming music and it started skipping and the screen froze and I had to power it down. I updated all my software, ran disk utility and scrapped a bunch of huge files yeterday, but today the screen froze twice and I had to power it down. I bought my machine back in July, I'm really bummed and hoping it's nothing serious this early on. Anyone have further trouble-shooting suggestions?

Check out the following KB Articles & do the necessary:

Ran what from DU?
and scrapped a bunch of huge files yeterday, but today the screen froze twice and I had to power it down. How large is you HD and how much space do you have left?
You have your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out. Let Apple deal w/the problems.
