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
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 won't "wake" up from sleep, when being folded

When I "fold" computer it goes to sleep. But, when I flip up the screen again, my Mac won't "wake" up from sleep mode anymore.
Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

I have a MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 duo, Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

I've solved my problem.
I have reset my MacBook's PRAM settings.
It's very easy: link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.
Hope this helps
Best regards,
Christian

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.
Regards.

My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep

My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep periodically. I will have to hold the power button down and then restart when it acks up. It did this twice yesterday & once today.

Try resetting the PMU (power management unit).
Remove battery and power adapter.
Hold down power button for 10 seconds.
Reinstall battery and attach power adapter.
Hold down Command-Option-P-R, a total of four keys, and press power button. Don't release the keys.
Continue holding the four keys until you hear the startup sound twice, then release.

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

MacBook won't wake up from sleep / boot up.

My MacBook has trouble waking up from sleep, and sometimes booting up from a normal shutdown. When I open the clamshell after I put the computer to sleep, the indicator light doesn't blink, but is lit up, and the screen is completely blank. Pressed all keys, and still it won't wake up. I've had the same problem with booting up the computer from a normal shutdown as well. I've tried holding on to the power key and doing a hard reset, but nothing seems to work. However, I can't seem to pinpoint the cause of this problem, it seems to be completely arbitrary. Sometimes, it wakes without a problem, and sometimes it just stays in "zombie" mode for .. extended periods of time.
I've also resetted the PMU, and the NVRAM as well. I'm not sure how this could affect it, but a few days ago, my CD drive broke. When I tried to boot up, the CD drive seemed to be turning to find a CD, and couldn't boot up. So I took it to the Apple guy and got the CD drive removed completely. I took the MacBook back to him with this waking up problem, and he says it's fixed, but it really isn't.
Help! I can't

I can't boot up MacBook and I,m wondering if you tried SafeBoot. I went through the process, got the progress bar, then nothing. Just more blue screen and gear spinning.

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.

My macbook won't wake up from sleep

I've seen various threads suggesting resetting SMC and removing unneccessary networks from Airport, but these have no effect on my machine.
I can make the machine sleep easily enough by closing it or using the menu, but it won't wake without the 10 second press of the power. When it does come back it it counts through a progress bar like a PC! How embarrassing. Then, usually, it crashes completely and requires a restart.
This only started happening after I plugged in an iPad for the first time (iPad 1) and initiated it through iTunes. However, the same night I installed a demo version of Pagesender. Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks.

I have the same or a similar problem with my MacBook Air (MBA Mid 2009).
It goes to sleep when I close the lid as you would expect, but when I reopen it nothing happens.
I have to press the power button (I don't have to hold it down, as you apparently do) to turn it on.
Then my MBA (as it always has done when waking from deep sleep) shows a progress bar running from empty to full.
However, just before the full mark is reached, the screen goes black and the MBA does a hardware reset.

MacBook won't wake up from sleep and Bluetooth Settings (Possible fix)

Hi,
I rest my SMC as per the instructions. I've done this a few times before and it my system sleeps one time correctly then glitches as previously noted. However, this time I did not use any Bluetooth device but I was connected to the internet via my wireless router. The computer has successfully entered 'sleep' and woke up several times without a glitch (white light flashing in front during sleep).
I the tried various Bluetooth settings starting with switching ALL the choices listed under the Bluetooth Advanced tab to off. I then switched on my Bluetooth mouse, used it for a while then I switched off the mouse (Microsoft Notebook Mouse 5000) and waited for the laptop to give the 'lost connection' notice. Once the notice disappeared I close the lid and the system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch.
Next I restored the default Bluetooth Advanced tab settings including the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’, reconnected the Bluetooth mouse and used it for a while before closing the lid and placing the computer in sleep mode. I left the mouse on. Something very interesting happened…….the system properly entered sleep mode with the front white light flashing, I then intentionally moved the Bluetooth mouse and the system tried to wake with the lid closed. I saw the Apple logo light up briefly then shut off AND I also heard the Superdrive mechanism respond. The white light in the front of the system stopped flashing and just stayed on. The system would not wake. I had to hold the power button down till the white sleep indicator light shut off the boot the system back up. It is important to note that I DID NOT reset the SMC.
Once the system rebooted I made one change to the Bluetooth Advanced tab settings, Specifically, I switched off the ‘Allow Bluetooth device to wake system’. I used reconnected my Bluetooth mouse by turning it on. Used it for a while then closed the lid. The system entered sleep again (white light flashing in front) and woke without a hitch. The sleep mode works equally well now if I close the lid or select sleep from the menu.
I realize this may not help everyone but it has aleviated this problem, at least for the present on my system. I hope this helps some folks as well as the Apple techs.

Hi,
Just an update, it has now been one week since I modified my Bluetooth setting as per my post above. The computer is still going to sleep and waking without problems.

Powerbook won't wake up from sleep mode

Contrary to all the problems posted here of PBs unexpectedly beeing sent to sleep, my PB occurs to have a contrary problem for which I couldn't find a solution for.
When it is in sleep mode I can't awake it, neither by opening the lid nor pressing a key. I have to force shut down it by holding the power button and then it can restart it from save sleep aka hibernation. Furthermore the indicator light does not pulse but glow constantly when in sleep.
I tried to reset the PMU and the NVRAM but nothing seems to help. After resetting both the sleep and wakeup process will work fine one time, but really only one time. Upon next sleep (re-)activation the odd old problem occurs.
What could I try to get it properly working again?
Thanks in advance for your help - and sorry for my rusty English.

My own PowerBook has, on very rare occsions, suffered the same problem. As it happens so rarely (perhaps less than six times in three years) I have not been able to troubleshoot it.
However I have read on previous threads that some people had the issue resolved when Apple replaced the logic board for them - but I don't know if that was a definitive fix.

Officejet 6500 won't wake up from sleep mode.

If I leave my printer on it goes into sleep mode. Usually I can press a button on the key pad and it will 'wake up'. Sometimes it seems to get stuck and the buttons don't do anything. I can't even turn it off. The on/off button just continuously flashes. If I want to make a copy it's a pain. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Apparently from some of the reviews I've read online I'm not the only one with this problem.

To resolve the problem is by doing the steps below or by deactiving the sleep mode function.
NOTE: Don't change any other settings on the printer cause this will affect the firmware and the printer function.
Workaround
1. Press * and # at the same time.
2. Press 1 , 2 , 4 in sequence
3. Go for underware menu
4. Go to System Menu
5. Look for system mode time out.
6. Set it to 0.
Deactiviting the sleep mode
1. Press * and # at the same time.
2. Press 1 , 2 , 4 in sequence
3. Go for underware menu
4. Go to Scan VDW Manu
5. Activate Sleep mode
6. Set it off or 0.
Hopefully this have resolved your issue.

Satellite L505-S5988 won't wake up from sleep mode

I am running on windows 7. My computer is just a month old. After it goes into sleep mode, when I press a key or the power button to wake it up nothing happens on the display. it sounds as if it wakes up and the indicator lights in the front change to all green, but the screen is blank. I'm not great with computers. I know its not a setting. Toshiba just wants me to send it to the repair depot. Can anyone please help me?

remove battery and power cord. hold power button for at least 30 seconds the reinstall battery and and see if it still does it. if not you have have to recover back to factory out of box with your recovery discs.
