MBP not sleeping properly, waking up every 2 hours

For a while now my MBP does not sleep properly. For example, last night I put it manually to sleep. Looking in the log I see it woke up every two hours.
I moved the Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist to the trash. No luck.
I did reset the PRAM and System Management Controller (SMC). No luck.
Anybody know what causes this and how to fix?
Thanks

2011 MBP not sleeping properly when power runs out

My macbook is behaving strangely. Every time the battery runs out, it doesn't sleep properly and restarts by itself when the power supply is attached.
The clock and date reset to 2001 but it is not a problem with the clock battery, this has been working fine up until the last few days.
The reason i say it is not the clock battery is because the actual power behaviour is behaving strangely. For example, the last time the battery ran out, the power indicator said there was still 3%/ten minutes left. The computer is cutting power before the sleep mode kicks in. Also, sometimes after the power cuts, when restarting the battery monitor shows 10 or 11 hours to recharge. The normal recharge time would be around 2.5 - 3 hours.
Also, just after a power cut with no sleep, when i am reconfiguring the lost settings, the processor maxes and stays that way, even when the computer is doing nothing.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and also an SMC reset but they are making no difference.
Anyone have any ideas? I already suspect this computer has malware on it but i think this particular problem is something else again...

I have to admit, I was not holding my breath. I have experienced this condition with on my own MBP twice this year. Once while running Leopard and once while running Snow Leopard. Both times it was only resolved after reinstalling the OS again.
I can't remember, though, if simply reinstalling the OS over the existing installation was sufficient or if I had to wipe the drive, reinstall the OS, and migrate my data back over. I assume you have a backup going.
The easiest thing to try first is insert the SL DVD and perform an installation. The default now is a variation of Archive & Install, where the OS is replaced without touching your user data. You don't need to make any special selections, just let the installer go.
In the event that does not work, and AFTER you have verified you have a current backup of everything, then insert the DVD and click the Options button, then click Restart in the window. This will reboot the Mac off of the DVD. At the Welcome splash screen go up to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then reformat your Macs' internal HD. Then proceed with the installation. Near the end you will be asked if you want to migrate user data over. Select the method of migration you wish (Time Machine, clone, etc...) and move your user data back.
Unfortunately, it is the only way I have resolved this issue if the earlier suggestions did not work. let us know what you decide to do. Cheers!

MacBook Pro NOT sleeping properly anymore, and getting hot.

My MacBook Pro does not sleep properly anymore, and gets really really hot, anytime I send it to sleep either by closing it or by selecting "sleep" from the menu. It also loses all its battery really fast while on this state (even faster than while being awake and being heavily used).
It started a while ago only, or at least it was not there from the begining. I had never before had to put off a MacBook Pro, except while flying... I always just close them and they sleep after a few seconds; BUT I can not do like that anymore with my new MacBook Pro... I have to save, close and shut down... then turn on, open my apps, and open my files... its not something to be happy of... I'm very sad with this problem and I have been unable to find the reason for the sudden change.
Please I need help with this.

An additional detail I forgot to mention:
Everytime I tell my MBP to sleep, or just close it, the computer does not seem to go off (because of the levels of the sound of the HD and of the fan), though the screen goes off correctly.
Now, the strange part is that everytime I "wake it", the screen goes on immediately, asking for my password, and after inputing it correctly the screen goes COMPLETELY OFF for 2 seconds, before "coming back normally".

My iMac is not sleeping properly(any help is welcome Thank you)

Ok heres the thing I had my mac on computer sleep for an hour and my display sleep for 30 minutes originally. I noticed that when I was asleep it turn on in hte middle of the night. So i started messing with the timers and putting it on 10 minutes and it would not sleep and if it did it would wake up like 10 minutes all of a sudde. I put my browser on a site does not have videos or anything that will wake it up. I've tried an SMC reset and everything. I've tried pmset -g to see whats keeping it awake and nothing. Right now i have my computer sleep and display sleep on 5 minutes but thats really too short. I dont have any applications running I think. My computer went to sleep on the 5 minutes but when i increase the setting it wont sleep. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Im not meesing with it anymore till I get any suggestions. My Mac OS X 10.6.8
Please help, the waking up is annoying.

I'm on my Mavericks partition right now. System Preferences/Energy Saver - is Wake for Network Access checked?

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again

External Hard Drive not sleeping or waking

Hi I have a mac mini with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2. I recently purchased a iomega 2 TB external hard drive that came pre loaded with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) pre formatted on it. I use 800 FireWire for the connection. I had no problems with the drive mounting and transferring files until I put my computer to sleep. I took me some time to figure out that the sleep function was the cause of the problem I was having. The drive would still be listed in finder after my computer woke but when accessed finder would freeze up and I would get the spinning cursor. Also when I left it to sleep over night I would find the drive off and an error that it had been ejected wrong.
I watched the drive when I put my computer to sleep get the sleep command and flash for a second and start to sleep but then come on again as if there was an error in the sleep command from my mac. If I wake my computer again to see the action of the drive it then goes to sleep when my computer is waking. I am guessing the command is the same to the drive from my mac. Wake or sleep, it just depends on the drives current state as to whether it sleeps or wakes.
My fix so far is to not let my computer sleep at all. As well I have to choose in system preferences to not allow the drives to sleep. Did notice after some time the external hard drive will sleep anyway from idle time but now my mac is not sleeping obviously. Or I have to eject the disk manually and then turn off the external hard drive then put my computer to sleep.
Am I missing something here? It's either a hard drive error or a software bug in Lion.

Macbookpro 08 not sleeping properly with safari 4.0.2 or 4.0.1 versions

Hi all,
Is anyone else having issues with their computer not sleeping as set in system preferences with these later versions of Safari installed? The computer sleeps sometimes, but lately it has been keeping awake more often than going to sleep as it is set to do. I would appreciate your feedback.
Thanks so much,
Tabeer

Hi
No sleep problem with my unibody MBP.
There may be Hard Drive directory corruption causing the errant behavior. Open Disk Utility, select your HD and "verify disk". Any errors? While there, "repair permissions" and restart the computer.

After 10.5.7: MBP not sleeping, not waking

Since I installed .7 yesterday, my MBP won´t sleep as it should. I close it or tell it to sleep and coming back after a while, I hear something ... probably the fan. Opening it or hitting a key it won´t wake up and I have to reboot it the hard way. On the German Mac sites, I found that problem as well – unsolved ... any idea?

I have the same problem w/my imac. I hit the power button and it sleeps for a second and then comes back. The /var/log/system.log indicates:
May 13 18:40:21 alan-imac kernel[0]: System Sleep
May 13 18:40:22 alan-imac kernel[0]: Wake reason = EHC1 EHC2
May 13 18:40:22 alan-imac kernel[0]: System Wake

May 13 18:40:22 alan-imac kernel[0]: USB (EHCI):Port 2 on bus 0xfa has remote wakeup from some device
Is a USB device waking it up? If I let it go to sleep on timeout it seems to work properly?????

Laptop did not sleep properly and did not like being stuffed in the laptop bag

This morning I closed the lid on my laptop, saw that the sleep icon on the hinge came on, put the laptop in my bag, put it in the trunk of the car and went to work. Twenty minutes later I get to work and grab my bag. The bag was extremely hot! And when I flipped it open and touched the end of the laptop, it was even hotter. To the point where it did not feel good to touch.
The exhaust fan end was at the top end of the bag and is the end that I was touching. The fan was going full speed.
I brought it into the office, opened it and there was a DOS screen that listed all of the available boot devices and pretty much said nothing was available. I hit enter and it cycled through a couple DOS screens but basically it didn't want to do anything. So, did a hard shut down and let it cool down to where it was comfortable to the touch. Powered back on and was able to get into Windows fine. The battery was fully charged when I left the house but was down to 40%. By the time I got PC Wizard up, the internal temps had fallen back to normal.
Got my W500 about a week ago. Wiped Vista Ultimate and replaced with Windows 7. For the most part, everything I need to work is working fine. Still have a few devices that probably aren't completely configured properly. I did this whole routine yesterday for the first time (to and from work) without any issues so I am a little confused what happened this time.
Any thoughts? Anything I should look for? Specific drivers I need to update? I see a couple of threads around sleeping issues but haven't confirmed anything on my end. What steps should I take to make sure that the thing really did go to sleep before stuffing it in my bag again?
So far it seems OK but I can only imagine what might have happened if I had the fan end at the bottom of the bag, it was in the afternoon and 100 degrees and if my drive were a little longer. I think it would have been messy.
Thanks,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This was actually the problem but I just figured it out today (without seeing the RealStranger post).
The problem has not happened again since the first time, but I've been pretty vigilant about making sure it is actually asleep. However, this morning as I was packing up to go to work, I had just put it to sleep and was in the process of turning off my cordless USB mouse (Logitech VX Nano FTW), when I heard the computer beep and saw that it had come out of sleep mode. I played with it a couple of times and sure enough, turning the mouse on and off triggers it to wake up.
I haven't actually changed any settings yet (since I just saw this post) but I will shortly.
Thanks! I can quit worrying about it now.

MBP Not Sleeping Fully When Left Alone...

Hello,
I've noticed that if I'm away from my Macbook for a while it's not actually going to sleep as it should. The screen will go blank, and the sleep light is constantly on (not throbbing as it normally does in sleep) but the machine itself hasn't gone to sleep. I know because I can still hear my email alerts and I'm still logged into things like iChat and receiving message alerts etc.
My sleep settings are:
Battery: Comp sleep/2mins - Display sleep/1min - Put the hard disk to sleep when possible.
Power: Comp sleep/3mins - Display sleep 2min - Put the hard disk to sleep when possible.
Any advice / help much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have to admit, I was not holding my breath. I have experienced this condition with on my own MBP twice this year. Once while running Leopard and once while running Snow Leopard. Both times it was only resolved after reinstalling the OS again.
I can't remember, though, if simply reinstalling the OS over the existing installation was sufficient or if I had to wipe the drive, reinstall the OS, and migrate my data back over. I assume you have a backup going.
The easiest thing to try first is insert the SL DVD and perform an installation. The default now is a variation of Archive & Install, where the OS is replaced without touching your user data. You don't need to make any special selections, just let the installer go.
In the event that does not work, and AFTER you have verified you have a current backup of everything, then insert the DVD and click the Options button, then click Restart in the window. This will reboot the Mac off of the DVD. At the Welcome splash screen go up to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility. Then reformat your Macs' internal HD. Then proceed with the installation. Near the end you will be asked if you want to migrate user data over. Select the method of migration you wish (Time Machine, clone, etc...) and move your user data back.
Unfortunately, it is the only way I have resolved this issue if the earlier suggestions did not work. let us know what you decide to do. Cheers!

MBP not working properly after failed installation

Hi, here's my problem.
Yesterday when trying to install the iphoto update and java update through the app store software update (I'm running OSX 10.8.2)
it told me when trying to install, that the installation failed. ever since then, it's been running EXTREMELY slowly. It will take minutes to open up a finder window, load a webpage, open an application etc. It also won't load icons properly, for example, on the dock, the normal DOWNLOADS and DOCUMENTS stacks or whatever you want to call them, all show up as clear dotted squares. JPG Thumbnails on the desktop or in folders no longer show a preview of what the image is, instead just showing the preview application icon for each file.
I tried using the following methods to fix things
-Used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions, also verified the drive, (no errors)
-Used Disk Warrior to graph and rebuild the main HDD with the operating system
-Used Onyx to do maintenance on temp files and other file links etc.
-Re-installed the Java Update and iPhoto updates manually from downloading them through the apple support webpage since they no longer showed up in the app store when choosing software update.
-I also re-downloaded the OSX 10.8.2 Supplemental update to see if that would resolve anything, but none of these things have helped.
It's still running extremely sluggishly and I get the beachball for minutes at a time even when just right clicking or accessing the apple menu to choose recent applications or whatever.
Can someone tell me what's wrong and how I can fix it?
Also, I'm on the 2.2Ghz Intel Core i7 17" model wit 8GB of RAM.
Thanks

here's the most recent 50. it looks like the console's logs don't go nearly back far enough to go to the time when the trouble started.

13" MacBook Pro and Apple 27" LED Display Not Sleeping Properly

I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

By the way, please be aware of a scam - iyogi
Online Technical Support - Call (AU Toll Free) 1-800-029-076.
www.iyogi.com/Apple-Support
I saw Apple support and called the number, it ended when I was asked to pay to fix my problem.
I'm not aware of the company, but from what you said I don't see how that's a scam. The advert clearly only says the call is free, not the support. Why should they give free technical support?

IPad prevents MBP from sleeping

I recently noticed that my MBP was no longer sleeping. It would get to the almost asleep state - where the light was very dim - but not pulsing - and stay there.
I shut down all programs on the MBP and made sure that the Preference for Waking on Ethernet Access was not checked.
It still would not sleep.
I finally solved the problem by asking what the last thing I did was, before I noticed this issue. I bought my iPad.
I also noticed that the router lights for the MBP were active, occasionally flashing. Normally they go out as the MBP goes into the sleep mode.
Solution:
The iPad is apparently networked with the MBP, either directly via the WiFi or via iCloud.
By turning the Airplane mode ON on the iPad, my MBP quickly went to sleep. The Airplane mode turns the WiFi off and thereby disconnects it from my MBP.
So if you have a problem with your Mac not sleeping properly, try turning the Airplane mode ON on your iPad and see if this does not fix the problem. It works for me...

These commands:
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.udp.log_in_vain=1
sudo sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.log_in_vain=1
will give you output like the following in the console log:
01-10-12 20:20:45,000 kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 192.168.1.17:554 from 192.168.1.15:37481
In my case it was Synology Surveillance station trying to connect to port 554 on my laptop...
Don't forget to set the variable back to 0 after you found the problem!

Not detecting external display after waking up MBP from sleep mode

I am a recent owner of a MBP and enjoying it. However, one problem that I can't seem to find a solution to is the external display problem after sleep mode.
When I first boot up the Mac and plug in my Dell external monitor via the mini adapter, there is no problem with detection or display. However, every time I put the MBP in sleep mode and then wake it up again, the external monitor does not "wake" up and my MBP only displays my normal screen on the Mac.
I tried to 'Detect Displays' to no avail and the only solution is unplugging the mini connection and plugging it back into the MBP for the MBP to re-detect the external monitor.
Although this is a quick fix in itself, I do not want to wear out the mini port by doing this every timeI come out of sleep mode. Any solutions so that the external monitor will detect the MBP waking up from sleep and display properly? Thanks!

And same problem here.
Using a MBP 2.66 i7 with a Dell 3008WFP that's connected to the MBP through DisplayPort. It works some of the time but once in a while (only been using the new MBP for a couple of days now) the monitor won't come out of sleep mode. Turning it off/on causes OS X to completely ignore the monitor. I was able to get this setup to work again by pressing 'Detect Displays' in the System Preferences pane but most of the times that doesn't help. The only sure way to get the monitor working again is by booting into Windows through Bootcamp, Windows is able to use the monitor, if I reboot after that OS X sees the monitor again.
Also saw a magenta line/stripe on the left side of my monitor and the monitor sometimes makes a buzzing sound when connected to the MBP through DisplayPort. That's what you get by using bleeding edge tech I guess :\ Only alternative is buying the mini-DP to dual-DVI connector but paying $99 just to be able to use an external monitor is rather insane. Besides that lots of users are having problems with this adapter.

Tecra R840 do not shutdown after waking from sleep (USB, BT is not working)

Hello,
I've a problem with my R840 running win7pro + SSD.
After waking it from sleep:
- no USB activity (but there is power in the ports since I can see the leds on in the external HDD or mouse)
- my Bluetooth mouse stops working
- my internet connection will work after 1 or 2 minutes of waiting
- and...the laptop will not shutdown unless I press the physical on/off button for 5 secs or so!!!
In device manager everything seems ok! The Power management in all the devices/USB hubs etc are set to not turn off the devices to save power!
Already clean booted the laptop several times and the problem remains!
Everything is just fine if the laptop do not sleep!
But I put it in a sleep mode and the I wake it I have all those problems!
Any sugestions?
Best Regards,
paulo

Hi Paulo this would mean that there is nothing wrong with the BIOS because as you said above: the unit worked properly in the past.
I guess the system is muddled up and does not work properly after waking up from sleep mode:
Possible solution -> the system should be reinstalled. In case youve got the Toshiba recovery medium, such OS installation / recover process would be very easy and does not take very long

MBP not sleeping properly, waking up every 2 hours
