MBP 2.1GHz waking from sleep on its own, and hard hanging/heating.

I searched and read and read and didn't see a whole lot of info regarding those having their system wake from sleep and hard hanging.
Usually I 1st notice it when I see the sleep LED dimly lit. On examination the MBP is almost to hot to touch. It is unresponsive to any keys other than to hold power button till it powers down. I've had it do this while in it's sleeve as well. It should have probably therm-tripped from excessive heat, but didn't. All in all, is kind of scary to have to get so hot when it hangs like that, be it in the bag, or setting on my desk.
Background:
It is on A/C and battery is fully charged.
Sleep is configured to do so on lig closure.

Finally, I spent a good part of today digging though logs for anything notable and see nothing. No core dumps or anything. I do have applecare and am wondering if it is time to call??
Any help/comments would be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I think I have the same problem. The whole sequence is:
* Put MacBook Pro to sleep by closing lid.
* After some period of time that varies, I notice sleep LED is no longer pulsing.
* The case is VERY hot.
* When I open the lid, the display stays black.
* No sequence of keys or closing/opening lid wakes display.
* Only way to recover is to power cycle.
* Problem is VERY intermittant -- I do not know how to reproduce it at will. AppleCare service had it for a whole week and couldn't reproduce it, whereas for me it occurs once every 1 or 2 days.
Actions:
* AppleCare service replaced the main logic board in early June, but it didn't help.
* I did a clean erase and install, but it didn't help.
* AppleCare service had the unit for a full week in July and couldn't reproduce the problem, so they returned it and it still had the problem.
I have a Logitech Bluetooth mouse, don't know model other than M-RBB93. I'll UNset "Allow Bluetooth to wake..." and will also turn off the bluetooth mouse before closing lid. I'll post my results.
Meanwhile, please let me know if anyone determines a solution!

MP '08 waking from sleep on its own

My MP '08 has insomnia! It wakes up during the night on its own, and doesn't go back to sleep.
Really. I double-checked the settings in Energy Saver, and it is not configured to wake automatically. There are no programs running that should be waking it up.
Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
*Formerly Badlydrawnboy on these forums, but I changed my email address

I used to use wireless keyboard and mouse. Battery consumption and
less functionality (e.g. PRAM rest or disc start up did not work, as the connection
via bluetooth did not "kick in" till lateron) made me move back to wired.
Also had problems with waking the old Power Mac.
Haven't missed the wireless keyboard+mouse at all. I know this does not answer your question but I do not think, it could get solved:
1) the computer "pairs" with the keyboard. When at "sleep", all connections are severed. So how does the computer know when the "correct" device wants to wake it (otherwise, it might react to mobile phones)
2) if not paired due to loss of connectivity, it will not recognise until the system is up and running (in order to remember the device). A bit of a conundrum in my books, solvable PERHAPS by the old "if", "and" "or" commands in UNIX

MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
-Open System Preferences.
-Open Network.
-Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
-Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
-Click Apply.
-Click the + button.
-For Interface, select Ethernet.
-For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
-Click on Create.
-Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
-Click on Apply and close Preferences.

My 2007 Intel iMac is waking from sleep on its own during the early morning hours. Not sure why. Is there a way to find out by looking at some sort of log files or something else?

I'm wondering if someone else is having control of my iMac as it randomly wakes up from sleep while I am sleeping sometime during the night. I've woken up with the light from the monitor brightening my room. Need to find out what is causing it to wake up and stay on. Any suggestions?

I've had this same issue lately. Here's one thing to check: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Wake for Network Access should be unchecked.
Mine is unchecked, so the only other thing I can think of is that it might be Time Machine backing up. My iMac is backing up to an external hard drive, and also sharing that drive over the network so two other Macs can back up as well.
Should be an easy theory to test. Turn off AirPort, unplug Ethernet, and let the iMac sit. See if it still happens.

HP Photosmart 7525 e wakes up from sleep on its own hourly.

My Hp Photosmart 7525 wakes up from sleep mode approx. every hour. It is set up as wireless and usb. is there some setting or update that I need to apply to fix this problem?

Hi DanHannon, Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your printer is waking up from sleep on its own hourly. I would try the following: 1.) Update the firmware. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates. 2.) Plug the printer's power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

Waking from sleep with no battery and no keyboard action

Hi there,
Since this unfortunate battery recall, I'm now running my PB with no battery (as recommended) i.e. just the power supply. I have my PB configured to prompt for a password when waking from sleep, which it does. However my keyboard does not appear to be responsive for several seconds.
Here are my steps:
1. Close the lid. PB goes to sleep.
2. Open the lid. PB wakes up and prompts me for my password.
The mouse cursor via the trackpad is responsive immediately. However attemping to type in the password field does not yield anything. The PB then automatically goes back to sleep. I can then wake it again with the keyboard and start typing.
The really weird thing is that with the battery installed, I do not have this keyboard issue i.e. my keyboard input is accepted immediately on the first wake up.
I have reset PRAM but to no avail. Any ideas? I'd rather not live with this behaviour while I'm waiting for my new battery.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi Chris,
You will be pleased to know your not the only one experiencing this issue. Like yourself I am now running my Powerbook without the battery and have noticed that when waking from sleep both my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for several seconds.
This also happened to my friends 867Mhz Powerbook when he was having battery problems. It would seem they just dont like being run without batteries installed.

IMac wakes from sleep on its own with Yosemite

After installing Yosemite, my iMac wakes from sleep all on its own multiple times throughout the day and night. The screen does not turn on when this occurs and it goes back to sleep on its own. I figured the my energy settings may have changed after the upgrade, but nothing is different. I have no schedule set and the "wake for network access" is unchecked.

To my knowledge, any Mac that is 1. connected to power and 2. not powered down will wake periodically for the reasons I explained, and perhaps for additional reasons known only to Apple. If disabling "wake for network access" does not change anything, all I can say is that it's working as Apple intends it to work. Before you ask, I strongly discourage you from finding clever system "hacks" or workarounds to prevent your Mac from working as designed.
It may or may not be a bug. Whether it is or not though, if it bothers you, consider providing feedback to Apple.
When questions such as yours arise, it helps to look at iOS. iPads and iPhones will all periodically connect themselves for the purposes of downloading emails, Messages, alerts etc. There is no way to disable that, other than to completely power down the device, which almost no one does. Apple has been inexorably changing OS X to effectively implement iOS design features such as this – for better or worse is not for us to say.
May I ask why this concerns you? Perhaps that would lend some insight regarding possible solutions.

MBP issues with waking from sleep and on opening lid

I have a 2009 macbook pro just 3 weeks old! upgraded from an older macbook
the problem is when it goes to sleep mode and i wake it by opening the lid or pressing any key (trackpad clicking wont wake it) the curser is unresponsive, as are all of the keys apart form the power button - it brings up the box asking if i want to shut down or restart. But I cant choose any as no curser movement! so I have to hold in the power button to hard restart everytime.
I rang apple support who I must say are very helpful everytime. I reset the PRam, reset factory settings ect then he said if still no joy reinstall the system.
All of which I have tried and it is still doing the same problem.
I shall have to give them a call in the morning to see what else they suggest.
Has anyone else had this issue on a new macbook - all updates have been installed and I only use it for web and emails ect so no weird installs going on
Thanks in advance
Liz

still no joy, did a reinstall of the OS and its still intermittently not waking once i close the lid and the hard drive stops.
The next thing to do is to get apple to have a look at it. very annoying as I have only had it since 28th Dec but nothing else I can do. Pc world will have it in to fix rather than replace so to be honest I'd rather Apple had a look than some monkey boy with fat clumsy fingers on a YTS scheme lol

My mac wakes from sleep on its own?

Hi all, for some reason my mac wakes from sleep overnight, not quite sure at which time it does this but I have found the computer awake and up and running in the morning for a few days now?
any ideas why it would wake itself up?
cheers, Robert

98% likely one of your USB devices is waking it up. Do you have a USB hub attached or a bunch of USB devices (drives, other doodads) attached? The console tip above may help tell you which one it is

Macbook pro automatically wakes itself up from sleep on its own!

I'm a pretty experienced user, but I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening. I run my mbp in clamshell mode connected to an external monitor, and every night I sleep it. I've had no problems with this setup for the last two years. However, in the last few weeks, every time I sleep my mac, it will wake up by itself again after about 10 minutes of sleeping. If I try to make it sleep again after the first time it wakes up by itself, it stays asleep for the rest of the night until I wake it up again in the morning. Totally strange. I've restarted, repaired permissions, etc, but it still does it. I don't think I've installed any new software that would cause this to happen. I think I just installed 1password recently and that's it. Also, to make sure it wasn't network or bluetooth activity doing this, I disabled "wake for network actiivity" in energy saver and I disabled my bluetooth. But, it still does it. Could it be a peripheral that's doing this? I haven't added any recently. I'm trying to figure out if the console log can help me, but I don't see anything that indicated what made the mac wake from sleep by itself. Below I've pasted the log for when the time just before I slept the mac and the time after it woke itself up last night. Maybe one of you can tell what app/process is doing this. Or maybe you can direct me to another system log that might give me more info?

Certain settings, e.g. printer sharing, can prevent timed sleep. If it's a brand new Mac and you migrated a fair amount of data from a previous computer, Spotlight may still be indexing. There are other possibilities as well. See this kbase article:

Mac starts up from sleep on its own

Every few months, my iMac will start up from sleep mode on its own. Why does it do this, and is it something to be worried about?
I am not touching the mouse or keyboard or using any remotely connected devices when this occurs. Thanks!

There are different things that can wake it up, every few months- I wouldn't worry about it.

MBP Unresponsive after waking from sleep

Hey Guys, I have found some similar discussions but nothing has helped me so far so I figured I would ask this in my own words and see if anyone has a solution.
Occasionally (up to once per day) I will try to wake my MBP and it will be completely unresponsive, forcing me to force-shut-down using the power button. When this happens the fan will be running at a high speed and the entire computer will be very hot.
This may have something to do with using second displays as this seems to happen frequently after using displays, however, it seems to happen without using secondary displays as well.
Please help! This has been going on for quite some time and it is driing me crazy!

Thanks, Linc. I was worried that since this was a refurbished computer, it was dying again. Makes sense, although alittle annoying that nothing really warns you this is happening. I almost cycled power the first couple times it happened, thinking it was stuck while waking.

Having to wait for Trackpad and Keyboard to work when waking from sleep, any solutions?

I have a 2012 MBP 13" base model (OSX 10.8.2) and when I first brought it was really fast at waking from sleep (lid being closed) and the trackpad and keyboard would work instantly. Now I'm having to wait 20+ seconds before I can do anything with the trackpad or keyboard. It usually happens after the mac has been asleep more than an hour, any solutions to this problem?

I'm having exactly this issue. I have a 15" MacBook Pro SR as well. It's happened four or five times since I installed Leopard yesterday. The trackpad works but the keyboard is completely dead. Also, choosing "Restart..." from the Apple menu doesn't work, as other apps fail to quit and (if I quit them with the trackpad) I get an error that the finder has failed to quit. As with JGB5, this happens after the MBP wakes from sleep -- sometimes resleeping/reawakening it fixes it, but sometimes the keyboard dies a couple of minutes afterwards anyway, and a restart is required.

IBook G4 temporarily unresponsive when waking from sleep on AC power

Hi,
I've noticed that my iBook G4 (late 2004) is temporarily unresponsive when waking from sleep, after having slept and been awoken on AC power (with the battery removed). The computer wakes up, but does not respond to trackpad or keyboard inputs for a non-trivial amount of time (30 seconds or so). There are no problems when sleeping and waking with the battery plugged in. I remove the battery to try to maintain it at a constant 40% load to conserve battery capacity. I am running Mac OS X 10.4.6.
Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this weird behaviour?

And yes... everything is normal at wake-up.
The only other thing I'll add is that the iBook battery replaces the traditional on-board battery found in all Macs used to retain several key settings when a system is unplugged. Things like system time for example. I can only venture a guess that some key setting is being recalculated on wake-up from a no-battery sleep, and the process that reads keyboard input is frozen until that setting is restored.

*No Internet When Waking From Sleep!*

Hey everyone,
I have been having this problem for about 6 months now. When I put my computer to sleep, or it goes to sleep on its own and I wake it up, I can't access the internet. When I look at my network settings, it says I am connected to Ethernet and the green light is on. In order to access the internet, I have to unplug the Ethernet cable from the back of the computer, wait 10-15 seconds, and plug it back in. After that it will usually work. My cord has been tested, and has had new plug-in ends installed.
I am currently attending College and live on-campus; this problem only happens here, but it never happened when I had my older iMac G5 here, in the same room.
Help Please! I will be forever grateful to you!

Finally! Someone replied! haha. Okay, I'm a little confused about the instructions to reset the SMC. Apple says to shut down your computer, unplug all cables, wait 15 seconds, plug the mouse and keyboard back in and start your computer? That is it? Is it the fact that you only have the keyboard and mouse plugged in when you start the computer and nothing else? If that is the case, I reset the SMC almost every weekend when I bring my computer back and forth from home to school. I must be missing something here. I will look up how to reset the PRAM though.
