MBA 10.8.4 wakes from sleep after a few seconds

I have a MacBook Air 4,2 with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 and a lot of trouble with the sleep function. Everytime I want it to sleep, it awakes after same seconds. If I close the lid, the MBA sleeps like a baby until I open it again.
What I tried:
- Reset PRAM and SMC
- Hardware Diagnostics
- Combo update
Here is the console diagnostic:

Any idea? It drives me crazy! I would really like to manipulate the system not to wake up any more if I am not pushing the power button. That would be fine!

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Reset the SMC.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 5
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 6
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

  • 2006 Mac Pro - wakes from sleep after 3-5 seconds

    Folks, I have a 2006 Mac Pro (2.66 x 2-core) that refuses to stay asleep. The system.log shows this:

    OK, so it's a USB device that's keeping the computer from sleeping. According to System Profiler, here is what is on bus 0x3d - Apple wired keyboard (the white one) and a Logitech MX518 gaming mouse is plugged into the USB port on the keyboard.

    Is the keyboard on port 2, or is it the mouse?
    If I unplug the mouse and use the keyboard to place the computer into sleep mode (Option + Command + Eject), the same thing happens. It appears the wake is coming from the keyboard or the keyboard's built-in hub.
    I have:
    - installed update 10.5.6 using the downloaded combo update.
    - reset the SMC (a few times)
    - reset PRAM
    - repair permissions
    and no dice!
    I could sure use some help figuring this out.
    Thanks...

    The sleep feature hardly works on Macs if at all. I had that same issue while on Tiger. Same thing. Mine was a PCI card that would awake it after a period of time. I have had issues with it NOT going to sleep also due to a PCI card and USB hub. I even disconnected everything and had gone back to stock and that still did not resolve it without having to reset the power management controller in Terminal. That was how I got it to work again on my old PPC machine.
    One test to try is to disconnect all the USB gear including the hub and let the machine go into sleep on it's own. If it wakes up- it's not related to USB but probably an internal timer that is out of whack or a PCI based issue.
    I had so many issues way back in 2004 that I finally gave up and just set it to never sleep. I have never had any issues after that! LOL
    So, getting back to the timer deal. There are times when the internal timer in the power management portion of OS X and it can actually flip to a wake command. Best thing to do in your case is to go in and trash the plist file for power management and restart. That should help in that case. If it doesn't make a bit of difference and the issues persist, then there's something other than that going on.

  • Brand new 13" rMBP (mid-2014) doesn't wake from sleep after a few hours

    Hi,
    I have brand new, mostly untouched, 13" rMBP running Mavericks (10.9.4) that crashes during sleep. If I close the lid and leave it for more than a few hours, I have to do a force shut down by holding the power button for a few seconds and turn it back on again.
    I've already followed the advice of this article: OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake and have called Apple Support, who did nothing but read the article to me.
    I have:
    - reset the System Management Controller
    - restored all defaults in Energy Saver preferences
    - booted into Safe Mode to verify disk (unsure of whether or not this was effective at all)
    In my Console, I am getting a line that says "com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure"
    According to this other thread - MB can't wake up from sleep anymore - it seems like it might be a hardware failure. Can anyone confirm this and/or advise on possible next steps?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • Display no longer wakes from sleep after latest updates

    G4 Quicksilver 933, nVidia Ti, 1.5GB, 20in Cinema Display
    I applied the latest updates that were pushed out recently (10.5.2 and the "Leopard Graphics Update") and now my Apple display will not properly come up when I wake the box from suspend.
    That is, it starts and runs fine, but if it goes into sleep, upon waking it will (sometimes) flash the contents of the desktop, and then go black. The litte green light is on. Happens from a logged in session, or from the main login screen.
    I have to hit the reset or power button (or login via SSH and issue a shutdown) to get it to work again.
    I only have a single monitor.
    I tried:
    o Powering the monitor off and on, both from the switch and by pulling the power cable
    o Pulling the DVI cable and reinserting it
    o Resetting NVRAM
    o Re-applying both the 10.5.2 combo installer and the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 in order
    o Waving a magic wand... I mean, fixing permissions
    o Changing the display resolution a few times
    o Running fsck a few times (only because all these unclean shutdowns are making me nervous)
    o Hitting the "Detect Displays" button in the Displays Prefs panel...
    Aha! Hitting that button causes the display to flash and then go dark. I have to power cycle the unit to get the monitor to come up again.
    I do have the special build option of the faster video adapter which was available all those years ago. It's quaint now, sure, but it was a fast card back then.
    I'm stumped. It's surprising how something like this can turn a perfectly reasonable desktop into a boat anchor.

    This Discussion is marked as Answered, but with my apologies to the other respondents, it is NOT. There is a problem. The software/hardware do NOT work as they are supposed to. Apple needs to address this problem immediately. Mac Book Pro will not wake from sleep when connected to a Cinema Display 23". The problem lies in the most recent operating system updates. Before the update the products worked as advertised, since then they do not. Period.
    With all due respect, I am the one who posted this, and I marked it "answered." Yes, there very well may be a problem with the Leopard Graphics Update 1.0 (what a mouthful! I dub it "LGU v1.0" from this point on.), but this is so far only a hypothesis.
    I found an immediate workaround which suits my purpose. If this does not suit the purposes of completely foreign (to this discussion) symptoms related to Intel-based Apple laptops and external displays, then so be it. I recommend splitting off your own symptoms to a new thread.
    Certainly, my reading of the symptoms described after I posted mine mostly do not sound like what I ran into at all. For example, I never once said that my computer had problems waking from sleep. I said the /display/ had problems waking/starting up after sleep, and this is probably related to the "detect displays" mechanism that the OS uses to find attached displays when it comes out of suspend. Even if this is my misunderstanding it does not matter, since this is how it comes across to a reader. This may indicate that someone may want to clearly and carefully describe /exactly/ what they are seeing, and the steps they took in order to come to any conclusions they might have.
    This will help Apple, and it will certainly help others that search these threads with their own similar but different issues they need solved.
    If there is a common reproducible issue related to displays and the most recent update(s), then Apple already knows about it, or soon will. As far as my immediate needs are concerned, this is answered.

  • Crashes after wake from Sleep after 10.8.1 update

    2.5 Ghz Mac Mini (mid 2011), 8 Gigs of RAM
    Since the day I upgraded to 10.8.1 I have had persistent crashes, 1 every 24 hours or so. It's always shortly after a wake from sleep. In all cases, it is impossible to switch to a random open application. But once I hit that application, no other application will respond to anything, including a Force Quit, or if it will force quit, it won't relaunch. A shut down will hang because an app refuses to quit. I can quit the Finder, but it won't relaunch. Have reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, zapped the PRAM, reset the SMC, checked and extensively tested the HD and RAM. Replaced RAM with original Apple RAM. Didn't help, so I swapped back to the RAM from Crucial. I can't think of anything else to try. Machine does not crash unless it has been asleep. Runs flawlessly when sleep is disabled. After a reboot (usually via a shut down via the power switch, start from scratch, check of the HD integrity, and then a clean restart) the machine will run fine, sleep and wake normally for about 24 hours. As near as I can tell from the logs, the hangs usually begin right after the Time Machine Backup after a wake from sleep finishes. If I don't allow the machine to sleep, there are no problems of any kind. Making me crazy. Did not occur under Lion or the .0 version of Mountain Lion. Is making me crazier than I normally am which is sorta serious.

    Any solutions to this problem?  I too have this kernel panic, however it only happens about once a week.  Always upon wake from sleep as you've indicated. 
    FYI I don't have intego software, or an APC installed.  Nor am I using filevault.
    This is on an up to date, MacBook Pro Retina.

  • IMac will not wake from sleep after 10.4.8 Update

    Recently after a couple of software updates my IMac goes to sleep and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not wake it. The option for wake with Bluetooth is checked. I zapped the PRAM and also checked the HD, Nothing has changed. NOTE: No new software or hardware installs were done except for 10.4.8 update and the other mac software updates. This did not happen in prior versions of the OS on my iMac. Is this a new bug?
    iMac G5 1.8 (pre iSight)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Bluetooth, Wake from Sleep

    I've been dealing with this same issue, have tried everything, but to no avail. After MANY sessions on the phone with Apple tech support, as well as an Apple product specialist, I was advised to erase my computer and do a fresh install. I did an archive an install, which didn't help, but am not thrilled about the prospect of erasing everything and starting over. This problem started after the August 2006 round of updates. I feel it's bluetooth related, because I used a usb keyboard and mouse for a week as a test, with no problem. The funny thing is, I unchecked "allow bluetooth device to wake computer" thinking it might help, but the bluetooth devices continue to wake the computer anyway (except when it refuses to wake, of course!)

  • MacBook won't automatically wake from sleep after flipping computer open.

    The only way my computer both goes to sleep and wakes from sleep is by clicking on the Apple icon and putting it to sleep before closing the lid and by pressing the power button after opening the lid. If I just close the lid without first clicking on "Sleep" under the Apple icon, the computer will continue to run and the Apple on the lid will continue to be lit while the sleep indicator light does not go on. If I just open the lid and do not press the power button, the screen will continue to be black and the sleep indicator light continues to glow. I'm not sure if I reset a system preference or something by mistake, but is there a way to fix this? Or is this an indication of a bigger problem?
    Additionally, when my computer is asleep and I unplug my charging iPod, it wakes from sleep (the sleep indicator light goes black while the Apple on the back of the screen lights up). Is this an indication of a bigger problem?
    My computer is only about 7 months old, so I am a bit worried if it is starting to show wear and tear already. Thank you for your help!

    You're welcome to the Forums.
    Go to System Preferences>Energy Saver, and set a time for your System to sleep.
    Set both sliders to 10 or 15mins to nod off, when Inactive.
    It's never a good idea to plug in or out, while the Computer is sleeping. If someone pokes at your ear while you're sleeping, you'll wake up too.

  • IMac (Early 2009) always wakes from sleep after Security Update 2010-001

    I posted this already in the Snow Leopard section, but wasn't able to get a resolution to the problem:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2309613&tstart=0
    I tried all the suggested things, but my iMac still always wakes from sleep and this never happened before the 2010-001 security update. I was asked to paste the console log entry from when this happens, so here it is:
    28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel Wake reason = OHC2
    28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel System Wake
    28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel Previous Sleep Cause: 5
    28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel USB (OHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x6 has remote wakeup from some device
    I'm wondering if others have seen this and if so know of a solution. At the moment I'm stuck with having to shutdown my iMac every time I leave it. Thanks.

    Here is a solution that should work:
    1. Turn off all Bluetooth devices connected to your computer.
    2. Make sure Bluetooth icon in the Menu Bar is black (BT is On) and BT is not connected to anything
    3. Plug in a USB mouse
    4. Go to System Preferences>Bluetooth>Advanced
    5. The option to "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" should now be uncheckable>Uncheck it and click OK
    6. Turn on your Bluetooth devices and let them connect to your Mac
    7. Try and put your Mac to sleep and then wake with the power button
    8. Check if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (it should be)
    9. Try and restart your Mac and check again if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (I had mixed results with this test, depending on the type of the Mac being tested)
    Anyhow, this way you should be able to uncheck the option that causes the issue and it should not get checked again by itself unless you restart your computer and maybe even after that. If it does get checked again after reboot, just get used to putting your Mac only to sleep until a fix from Apple is available or repeat the above process after every reboot if necessary.
    Hope this helps.

  • My elderly iMac (about six years old) won't wake from sleep after an electrical failure today, and starts up with a black screen.

    This Intel iMac is about six years old, has had the motherboard replaced by Apple.  Today we had an electrical failure, and it was asleep at the time.  It refused to wake from sleep, and it seems to start up, but the screen stays black.  I tried zapping the PRAM, shutting it down and turning off the surge protector, etc. . .  and still, nothing.  Any thoughts?

    If http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) does not work and you are comfortable working in the Terminal, try the following:
    Enter into the Terminal the following: sudo pmset autopoweroff 0 and sudo pmset standby 0
    If you like the hibernation, you can switch it back on by re-entering the commands with 1's instead of 0's. You can even change the amount of time by adjusting "autopoweroffdelay" and "standbydelay".

  • MacBook Pro spontaneously wakes from sleep after upgrading to Leopard?

    For some reason, after I upgraded to Leopard, then whenever I put my MacBook Pro to sleep, it spontaneously wakes up after some time (can be from a few minutes to an hour or two.) I don't know why this is happening, but I know for sure that it's related to Leopard since I put my laptop to sleep every night (it's in my bedroom) and after upgrading to Leopard, it started to just wake up a short while after putting it to sleep.
    At first I thought it could be Time Machine, so I disconnected all my external drives, but that didn't seem to work.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same issue. Installed Leopard last night on my first-gen 1.83 MacBook. The next morning the Mac was a little slow in wanting to wake up. After that it stalled on transferring a large file from my G5 and I had to issue a reboot command via the shell to get it out of that. A few minutes later the computer locked up when trying to apple > tab through the application.
    I put it to sleep after restarting the Mac from that freeze. A while later while walking out of the house I happened to glance at the Macbook and saw the apple glowing while the lid was shut and then it went back to sleep.
    Tonight I put the Macbook to sleep on the way out to dinner. I noted that I had 84% of my battery left. A few hours later when I got home the MB was warm, the apple was glowing and I had 9% of my battery left.
    Looks like there is some work to be done asap for 10.5.1

    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.

  • Won't wake from sleep after listening to audiobook

    If my ipod goes to sleep after I've been listening to an audiobook, I can't wake it again, and have to restart it. It always works again fine after I restart it, until it goes to sleep again. I only have this problem if I've played an audiobook since the last time I restarted, even if I then played music tracks after the audiobook. If I restart it and only listen to music, it will wake up just fine every time. As far as I can tell from playing around with it, this only happens if it goes to sleep on it's own, not if I put it to sleep. Everything else works just fine, but it's really annoying to have to restart everytime I let it sleep during a book! Also, if I have to restart it, when I go back to my audiobook it will no longer remember the track position. But if I go play some music, let it go to sleep, wake it up, and then go back to the audiobook, it will remember the position again! I am totally stumped on this, I have never had anything this weird happen with my ipod, and I've had it for around 2 1/2 years. I have the latest version of iTunes and the lastest version of the ipod software.

  • After waking rMBP from sleep and typing password, rMBP goes back to sleep after a few seconds and won't wake for about 7-8 seconds.

    Absolutely embarrassing. What is going on here? When will we see a fix?

    This happens rarely but consistently! I't seems to happen about 5% of the time waking from sleep. It MAY be more prone to happen if I had been moving with it in my bag, but it can happen at any waking time after any duration of sleep.

  • Why do new event items disappear from calendar after a few seconds

    Suddenly,new event items disappear from calendar a few seconds (7-30) after creation. This has never been a problem before, and I have used iCal for years. All my old events remain but as of today, when I try to add an event, it stays on the screen for a few seconds, then disappears. I tried entering the events on my iPhone and then syncing, but they went away on my phone as well. Does anyone have an idea of what's happening? Is my iCal out of memory?

    I had success with this method:
    1) make a backup of iCal's database (-> file menu)
    2) revert to that same backup ( " " )
