MacBookPro 5,1 not waking up

This is a 2009 unibody, when I put it to sleep, or just close the lid, after roughly 30 minutes, it won't wake back up. I hear the machine, but nothing happening. Black screen. I created a test user, and closed the lid, an hour later, opened, it it woke up fine.
I reset the safe sleep mode to 3 using:
sudo pmset hibernatemode 3
Any ideas on figuring out what is causing the issue on one user; but not the other?

Looks like disabling the safe sleep mode, and running disk permissions repair cleared up the problem, it is working now!

Computers not waking up to install updates

Hi,
I wonder if someone will be able to help me. WSUS server is configured and working correctly. GPO settings are configured to wake up computers at 3AM, install and reboot them (use power management to wake up computers is enabled). All PCs are running Windows
8.1 Pro and they are domain joined. No problems are reported with group policy.
The problem is that computers are not waking up at all and users are forced to install updates and reboot them themselves. Is there a setting I'm missing?
Best,
Marcin

Enabling Windows Update Power Management to automatically wake up the system to install scheduled updates (WSUS 3.0)
Specifies whether the Windows Update will use the Windows Power Management features to automatically wake up the system from hibernation, if there are updates scheduled for installation.
Windows Update will only automatically wake up the system if Windows Update is configured to install updates automatically. If the system is in hibernation when the scheduled install time occurs and there are updates to be applied, then Windows Update will
use the Windows Power management features to automatically wake the system up to install the updates.
Windows update will also wake the system up and install an update if an install deadline occurs.
The system will not wake unless there are updates to be installed. If the system is on battery power, when Windows Update wakes it up, it will not install updates and the system will automatically return to hibernation in 2

Macbook Pro Retina 2013 not waking from sleep

Hi all,
My brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) is not waking from sleep. It doesn't occur after a short sleep (as I can wake it as normal by moving my mouse), but if the sleep is for some extended duration (not exactly sure, but at least within a couple of hours) then the only way to wake it is to use the power button.
I've tried an SMC reset to no avail -- the problem still occurs.
It's plugged into a power adapter and this is a screenshot of the settings page.
This is a very annoying issue. I'm hoping someone can help?
Thanks!
Adam

I managed to narrow down and reproduce the issue:
It occurs when the 'turn display off after' time lapses. Eg, if I change the setting to 1 minute and wait for the display to turn off, the computer will *not* wake up without pressing the power button.
Very strange. Hoping someone can provide some insight!
Thanks,
Adam

Internet connection not waking up with ibook

Hi. I have an ibook G4 and connect to the internet via Airport Extreme, using a router (Xbox). This has been working perfectly for months. Then recently I had to change some settings on my router. Since then I've found that the ibook won't connect to the internet again after it goes to sleep without me opening and closing the applications several times. It has also suddenly disconnected in the middle of a session once or twice. I've also found that I can't change the configurations on my airport base station without plugging it directly into the ibook, which I didn't have to do before. So far it has all worked in the end, but I hate having no idea why this is happening in case one day it goes down and I can't get it back up again.
BTW, the airport connection itself seems to be fine.
Really grateful if anyone can help.

I'm having the same problem with my internet connection not waking up with the ibook...but I have not changed any settings on my router. Also, I didn't have this problem when I first got the machine - it just started doing this a week ago or so. Any ideas?

Macbook not waking up from 'sleep'

Hi there,
I got an really annoying Problem with my 4-Month old Macbook Pro and I hope you guys here can help.
My Macbook Pro does not wake up from sleep, the sleep indicator is solid and not pulsating at all.
The strange thing is, when I initiate Standby the sleep indicator is pulsating, also I can wake my mac up. So my macbook is not waking up if it goes to sleep by its self.
In Addition it is possible to wake my macbook up few seconds after it automatically goes to sleep.
But if is goes to sleep automatically and I don't touch it for few hours I cannot wake it up again.
I already did a PRAM, SMC reset. no change.
Maybe I should mention that my macbook pro is hooked up on an external Display. But not directly connected, there is a kvm switch in between. So I can switch between PC1(PC1Display) & MAC1(PC1Display+MAC1Display) Configurations.
any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks, TimmyX

I seem to be having the problem as well.
Occasionally when waking it will work. the machine wakes up to a white screen and a little progress bar at the bottom. then the screen comes back.
other times the screen stays black. it seems the computer itself is not sleeping but the screen is black and the Fkeys don't work to either to either change the dim settings on the monitor or keyboard.
I usually have to force shut down the computer to get it back.
I tried the fix I found online about turing off the ethernet port then re activating it after a restart and that seemed to work.
Then I updated to 10.6.2 (using the combo updater NOT software update) and the problem is back.
I now have done the ethernet off and on fix again. I hope it will wor.
I have found a lot opf people with this problem...
I did a clean install of 10.6 and then used migration assistant for my files and prefs... but not my applications since I was migrating from a powerbook g4.
Maybe some pref or setting that was migrated for many of us is causing it...
Are there others with the problem who are on a NEW mac without any migration?
Hope we can help get to the bottom of this.

Macbook Pro Display not waking from sleew

Alright so firstly I am aware of the ongoing issues with MacBook Pro's not waking up from sleep period, but that's not what is happening to me.
I've got a 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, the model that is still currently selling. It always wakes from sleep just fine, except sometimes the display stays sleeping. I know for a fact that the comp wakes from sleep because if I sleep it with say an itunes song running when I open it up again the song will automatically start playing again. However, sometimes the display never wakes up, and just stays dark.
I have absolutely no clue either why sometimes the display wakes up fine and the other times it stays dark no matter what. Once it's dark, putting the comp back to sleep and waking it up again doesn't help either - the only thing I can do it shut it off and restart. Any given time that I wake the thing up, I give it about a 50/50 chance that it will wake up fine or the display will stay dark, and like I said before it seems to be totally random when it happens regardless of when I sleep it or what I am doing when I sleep it.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I'm not sure then. It could be one of four things: Hardware, firmware, software, or your PMU (Power Management Unit) which is a part of your computer's mother board that does exactly as it's named. It controls the flow of power in your computer and it turns things on and off like your airport card or your hard disks. It also plays a huge part in sleeping. So the PMU is my best bet. You can try resetting it to see if it helps. The article explains it better than I can. In the article they call it the SMC (System Management Controller) but its the same thing.

Wakeup Time on Power Management Tab of device collection set but PC's not waking up

Hi
I have a device collection that is setting the power management settings of some Windows 7 HP desktops machines, I have also set a wake up time, however even though the peak / off peak plans are getting applied and the machine goes to sleep when off peak
plan is applied it is not waking up automatically (both plans have allow wakeup timer enabled)
Is there something else i need to do?
Thanks

2010 Mac Pro not waking with Mavericks

Processor 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 6 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
Internal drives: Mac HD 1TB. Disk 2: 750MB. Disk 3: 2 TB. Disk 4: 1 TB
My mid-2010 Mac Pro is sometimes not waking after it is in sleep mode. I was able to start it again after disconnecting peripherals, disconnected power for the allotted time, zapped PRAM. Did a disk repair with Disk Utility. Is there anything else I should be doing? Also generated this message in console/diagnostic and usage messages:
8/8/14 11:43:30.575 AM powerd[16]: com.apple.message.domain: com.apple.sleep.failure

Perhaps related to this I cannot use Time Machine on a WD 2TB hd since Mavericks installed. When I switched windows while it was backing up it would display an "device unmounted without ejecting". Now it does not mount at all.
Thanks

DP 1.25 not waking properly

My boot drive is an SATAII Seagate running to a SIIG SATA PCI card for Mac. Both of these devices have run perfectly in the past and this is the first instance of trouble I have experienced.
When I try to wake the machine (previously having been put to sleep), neither the mouse nor the keyboard will respond. I am using an Apple Pro Keyboard with a Mighty Mouse plugged into it, and the keyboard is plugged into the regular USB port on the Power Mac. The screen sits still with my password log-in box, but since I cannot type or move the mouse, it eventually goes back to sleep.
The only way to actually get it to log-in is to literally unplug the machine, plug it back in, and do a cold boot.
Any ideas as to what has happened that the USB is now not responding? I am not sure if it has to do with my boot drive being in a different location (than the regular bus) because this has not occurred before with my PCI SATA configuration.
Thanks for the help.

I will attempt your method of unplugging the keyboard to see what happens. And yes, I could try plugging in the MM to the Power Mac, but it is currently out of reach; however, hopefully your first fix will do the trick.
Answers to your other questions:
If I press the power button when it wakes up (but does not allow me to use the keyboard or mouse) it goes back to sleep, as it should because I set it up to do that.
I do not have an Apple CInema or other Apple display, just a regular LCD.
I do have an external USB hub but it is not in use at the moment. And neither is my installed USB2 PCI card. [As an aside, I've noticed that when I transfer lots of large files from something plugged into the USB2 PCI card to the hard drive on my SATA PCI controller, the whole task will freeze and the computer will not respond until I take the USB2 drive (usually flash) from out of the PCI card. I have a feeling I am maxing out the bandwidth with that usage, but have currently found no workaround - apart from me now looking for a large-capacity ATA100 drive instead of the SATA PCI setup.]
As you had mentioned, I went ahead and turned off "put drives to sleep whenever possible"; I had just done an enormous amount of backing up and transferring data and hadn't realized my fresh install had that option on as default.
And, quickly, I have noticed one quirk to this not-waking-properly issue... When I let the computer fall asleep from not being used for over my auto-sleep time, it will wake perfectly. But if I use the Apple > Sleep command, then the problem will occur at my next attempt to wake it.
Thanks for the help. Sorry for my delays, but I just moved into a new apartment.

MacBook Pro Not Waking Up From Closed Clamshell Sleep

Hey everyone,
I've been having problems with my mid 2009 2.53GHz MacBook Pro 15" not waking up from sleep after I open the clamshell (screen) back up. When I open the screen after letting it sit for a while, I can hear the HDD spinning up and the status light on the bottom of the MacBook turns off (like it normally does when the clamshell is opened), but the screen is black and there is absolutely no response in any key combinations or trackpad taps. I've been having this problem for about a month now and its getting pretty annoying. I've tried a total wipe of the disk and a fresh Lion install with a full TimeMachine restore, but I'm having absolutely no luck. The only thing that can bring the MBP back to life is a hard restart. Sometimes when I hard restart it, it comes back to life right where I let off (basically like when the battery loses all its juice and restores everything thats open), but most of the time, it starts up like a normal boot with no restore. I don't know if this is a software or hardware issue, but its really starting to get on my nerves. Let me know if you have a solution! Thanks!

Unfortunately, I think the logic board is shot on my MBP, and heres why. My lower RAM Slot only reads my ram some of the time, whereas the top slot never has a problem. If I have to restart my Mac because of the above sleeping issue, it only has 2GB of ram, but if I take the sticks out and swap them, it briefly runs with 4GB until the clamshell gets shut again, and its the same slot thats not reading no matter what configuration of RAM I'm using. Ive swapped RAM sticks with multiple people with no luck. If Just take the bottom stick out, everything is fine, but If its only the bottom stick, it only starts up about half the time. If it dosent boot, I get the "Beeps of Death" at startup. As i said earlier, it's probably not the RAM itself thats causing the problem, somethings screwy in my logic board thats preventing it from reading RAM even though it's in the slot. And yes, I made sure the ram was in it's slot all the way.

IMac not waking up

Hello everyone.
For some reason my 27" late 2012 iMac is not waking up properly. This seems to be since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 - it never happened on vanilla 10.10.
What happens is this: I'll come back to my Mac for the first time in the day having left it asleep the last time I used it, and find it won't take at all - nothing happens on touching any keys or clicking the trackpad. Even pressing the power button does nothing - it might as well be off, if it weren't for the fact that pressing the power button if it was off would at least turn it on. The only way I've found to bring it back to life is a hard reboot by pulling the IEC out of the back, which is really something I'd obviously rather not have to do every time I want to use my computer.
I has assumed this was an issue with not waking from sleep, so yesterday after using my Mac I disabled computer sleep and just put the display to sleep, but today when I came to use it once again I was greeted with an unresponsive blank screen.
I've never had this sort of problem before so I'm not sure what troubleshooting steps to try.

Hello Rob!
Apart from the update to 10.10.1, did you install anything else? If you have the chance, test from Safe Mode without any applications open:

IPod 5th Gen not waking up and battery life effected by iPod 1.2.1 update.

So I've been waiting for an update to the iPod software hoping that enough people have complained enough about the issues the 1.2.1 software update is causing. My particular iPod is a 5th Gen 60 gig. I've been using iPod software version 1.1 for some time now. I've updated my iPod to version 1.2 & 1.2.1 on many different occasions each time having the exact same result and having to take it back to the previous software version.
After updating the iPod a few different things happen. First and most importantly the iPod consistently will not wake up after it goes to sleep. In order for me get it to come back to life I have to hard restart it using the Menu + Center buttons. It can go to sleep after I unplug it from my Mac or even after I pause a song and it will not come back without a Hard Restart.
This probably wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that it resets my ratings and even worse while the iPod is in this state of not waking up the battery drains at a rapid pace as though the iPod is using power even though its completely non responsive.
Also the iPod refuses to play any of the new games downloadable from iTunes. I've downloaded a few games such as Pac-Man etc. When I attempt to access them the iPod freezes and becomes unusable. Its still on and I can see the backlighting as well as feel the HD spinning but becomes completely unresponsive and must be Hard Reset.
So this has basically been my experience with the 1.2.x software updates. I was hoping that Apple would have an update available by now that would squash all of these bugs but they have not and so I'm posting here now in the hopes that both Apple will recognize the issue and maybe some one out there has a temporary fix for the issue.

On my 5th Gen iPod video, to wake it from hibernation, pressing the select button by itself works for me. I had concerns http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4555675#4555675 that something may be wrong because pressing play/pause won't wake it from hibernation.

MacBook Pro not waking form sleep (sometimes)

My Macbook Pro is not waking from sleep (sometimes). To be very specific; the only time this happens is when it goes to sleep automatically, with the lid open, while plugged into the magsafe power cord. When I hit the space bar to wake it, the keyboard lights come on but the screen remains black. I do not have any problems with waking from sleep if I close the lid to force sleep (while plugged in). I also do not have any problems at all, if the computer goes to sleep while running on battery power. (I have had this MBP for about 18 months, the first year I had no issues at all. The problem started shortly after Lion was installed. (I also have a iMac with all the same software, almost identical set up, purchased at the same time as my MBP but have never had any sleep problems with the iMac, none even since Lion install.)
We do not have an Apple Store near us, but I have had the MBP in for service 3 seperate time to our local authorized Apple service/dealer. It is tricky to diagnose, because the problem does not happen every time. On average it won't wake from sleep 1 out of 3 times. Each time the service techs were able to re-create the problem but could not come up with a cause or solution, their only advice was to re-install Lion.
I have tried 2 different re-installs of Lion. (Both times erasing the hard drive first) The first time I did a clean re-install of Lion, then restored all of my data from Time Capsule. That did not work, the problem presisted. So I tried a second clean re-install of Lion and this time I did not restore from Time Capusle, I only re-installed critical docs from a flash drive and re-installed all other software (such as MS Office, Photoshop, etc.) from their original discs. I though this had fixed the problem but within a few days the problem re-occoured.
Any ideas would be appriciated, I have tried almost everything, I have days and days worth of time invested in trying to fix this issue. Thank you!

I had this problem with my MacBook Pro for a long time, and fixed it by changing the sleep mode. Here's how:
Open Terminal
Type the following:
     pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
It should say something like:
     hibernatemode 3
Here's an explanation of the different types of hibernate modes:
0 - Old style sleep mode, with RAM powered on while sleeping, safe sleep disabled, and super-fast wake.
1 - Hibernation mode, with RAM contents written to disk, system totally shut down while “sleeping,” and slower wake up, due to reading the contents of RAM off the hard drive.
3 - The default mode on machines introduced since about fall 2005. RAM is powered on while sleeping, but RAM contents are also written to disk before sleeping. In the event of total power loss, the system enters hibernation mode automatically.
5 - This is the same as mode 1, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory (in System Preferences -> Security).
7 - This is the same as mode 3, but it’s for those using secure virtual memory.
To change your sleep mode, use the following command:
     sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
(replace 0 with whatever hibernate mode you desire)
For my MacBook Pro, I changed it to 0, and it works great. It's super fast to wake and sleep, which is a plus. The only downside of hibernatemode 0 is that if your battery runs out your computer doesn't hibernate - it shuts off. This doesn't matter, though, because with Lion everything is autosaved, so really hibernate 0 is all plusses.

Macbook Pro not waking up if battery is low (~15%)

My new generation Macbook Pro 13" is not waking after re-opening the closed lid if the battery icon indicates low by red color (I guess it is about 15%) before putting it to sleep.
I mean, if I close lid when the battery icon is red, it does not automatically wakes up from sleep state on re-opening the lid and -interestingly- it neither wakes up by pressing the power button.
It only wakes up from sleeping if I plug to power adapter. That means I am not able to use 15% of my battery if I need to put it sleep when it is low.
Any ideas?

Why nobody is helping. By the way I have observed that going to sleep after closing to lid usually takes 20+ seconds. My mbp is pretty new but has problems. :rage:
