MDD went to sleep and wont wake up!

twin g4 867 MDD went to sleep at its scheduled time (2AM) The next day it would not wake from sleep as far as i could tell. Unplugged it, plugged it back in and i get startup tones but no video feed. HD's and fans are spinning. anyone have any ideas? Monitor burnout? graphics card? (i have a a nvidia gforce ti) im running tiger with all the updates, and an apple 20in cinema display. THANKS!!!

Are you able to bootup on your install disk?
Try using Disk Utility to repair your startup disk (hard drive) as shown in Dr.Smokes Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption.
If it's a no wake from sleep issue, read on;
If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following lines:
reset-nvram
press Return on keyboard
set-defaults
press Return
reset-all
press Return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.

Macbook Pro Randomly Goes to Sleep and Wont Wake Up

My Macbook Pro started having this problem a few months ago and it has gotten progressivly worse and worse. It will randomly go to sleep but I wont be able to wake it back up. The keys are lit up and the light on the front is pulsing, but no matter what I do it wont wake up. So I have to do a hard reset to turn it back on. This happens a few times a day so its pretty infuriating. I have read on other forums about people having this same problem but havent been able to find a solid solution.
Here is what kind of Macbook I have:
And here is the error report that I get once I restart my computer:

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Hey this was happening to me too! So i called apple care, i have a the Late 2011 Macbook Pro, and this is what they suggested:
1. open system preferences
2. open engery saver
3. look at "Computer sleep" and move it over to a longer time period
          for instance I had mine at 5 minutes so thats why it would go to sleep all the time
     -now I set it to 25 minutes
Hope that fixes your problems!

My computer is going to sleep and wont wake up by touching keyboard or mouse. I have to use the power button

Can anybody help? My computer is going to sleep and I cant wake it(bit like a teenager) by using the mouse or keyboard. I have to use the power button. Any ideas?

Hmm, that support link doesn't like me.
Do you have the discs that came with the computer? If so, put Install Disc 1 into the combo drive and boot up while holding the C key. Does anything show up on the screen? Do you hear the fan running? When running from a CD or DVD, the fan usually runs at a fairly fast pace and should make some noise.
Keep in mind that you have a 1-year hardware warranty with any new or refurbished Mac, so if something has gone wrong, you should be able to have it replaced free of charge, unless the MacBook shows some form of damage.

Mac Pro goes to sleep and wont wake up

Any idea how to stop the Mac from freezing up when it goes into sleep mode?
First the screen saver comes on and then after a way it goes into hibernation and then can't be woken.
It use to wake but suddenly decided not to. Nothing's changed.

Well, as you can see from the long discussion on Creative Cow, the XD Cam issue is complicated and seems to be a hardware issue with Mac Pros. Disconnecting the fibre channel card seemed to have worked for one person. I haven't got one of those as far as I know! But then my crashes aren't as constant as his and seem connected, in my mind, with the odd way FC garbles the aspect ratios of Ex 1 footage, especially if mixed with filters and other codecs on the same time line... but some people swear it's the hardware not the soft that's the problem.
Anyway, I've had the hardware... RAM, Disk issues etc... all triple checked out and can't find a problem.
But still Finder takes six seconds to find anything and I think that has caused some crashes.
It doesn't seem to like Soundtrack Pro at all! (You can find a mixed bag of experiences on that issue as well.) And Motion works a little bit too jittery for my liking.
It might be that there are several different flavours of mother board, some not as geared up to this software as others. That's my theory at the moment. The only way to check is to stick my hard drives into the machine of someone who says they don't have any problems.

My computer went to sleep and never woke up!

twin g4 867 MDD went to sleep at its scheduled time (2AM) The next day it would not wake from sleep as far as i could tell. Unplugged it, plugged it back in and i get startup tones but no video feed.

Hi,
If everything is spinning, it sounds like the graphic card is not working correctly. That particular video card has been known to do that. If you are familiar with your MDD, try taking the card out and re-seating it, then restart. Unplug the computer first.
Go here to see instructions in removing the video card in a MDD Mac:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=26259
If that doesn't work, you'll have to locate a new/used video card that supports your ADC connector on your monitor and try that. Finding a loaner from a friend would be ideal.
Tell us what happens,
Regards,
Dave

Hi, I turned my macbook pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to use the volume at all! I went to system preferences sound output BUT everything is light grey and it some-how looks like I don't have permission.

Hi, I turned my MacBook Pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to turn up or down my volume. It comes up with all the volume bars and a little circle sign with a diagonal line in the middle, like a stop sign. I have gone to system preferences > Volume > Output BUT all my volume preferences have gone all light grey and wont let me access them.
Anyone help?

It Went To Sleep And Never Woke Up

For Christmas, my parents bought me a 4GB Silver iPod Nano. I've used it quite a bit since then, I believe right now it's holding 85 songs. Anyways, last night before sleeping, I was listening to it. I was done with it, I set it to sleep, put it into the charger, and went to sleep.
I wake up this morning, the power has blinked on and off a few times. I pick up my iPod, try to turn in on and...nothing happens. My first thought is that the battery is dead, so I re connect it and wait for my computer to detect it...it doesn't. I open up iTunes to see if it shows my iPod (named Donnie's iPod) as a device, it doesn't.
So basically right now I have a rectangular silver device that is supposed to play music that is just sitting here taking up space. Now, if it is important, my computer specs:
Dell Dimension 4600
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
Roughly 4 Years Hold
Relatively New Hard Drive, Replaced in July of 2006
Windows XP Home Edition
The only ports I have availible for use are two which are in the front and I have tried them both, neither appear to do anything.
So is there anything I can do besides replacing it?

Try these.
My iPod won't turn on.
iPod battery doesn't charge.
My iPod won't wake up.
iPod touch-wheel is unresponsive after waking from sleep.
When restoring the iPod, it's recommended to put it into disk mode first.
Putting iPod into disk mode.
If none of the above help, it may need service, or you could go to an Apple store and have them check it out.
You can arrange online service here.

However, my bluetooth keyboard died while it was asleep and I replaced the batteries and tried to enter my password and it is not picking up my keyboard. What can I do? I will not let me enter my password to get in and trouble shoot the keyboard. Please Help!!

I pushed in the button on the top right corner. It turns a green light on and then it goes off. I held it in until it started blinking. It blinks for a bit and then the green light turns off. I am still not able to type my password. What should I do now?

Mac Pro sleeps and then wakes within a second after 10.4.11

i just updated to 10.4.11 and now when i press the sleep button it will sleep and then wake up within a second.
any ideas why this is happening, and a way to fix it?

Sometimes resetting the SMC on your MacPro will fix sleep issues, as that is what settings it maintains.

Computer went to sleep won't wake up

Ok I have a Hewlett Packer Model 1005052, yesterday it went to sleep and when I returned to start using it there was no light showing next to on/off button, no light on keyboard/mouse. Have unpluged and repluggeed in etc and still nothing. you can hear somethign running but nothing is coming on.The plug in the back of monitor has a light on but that is it. Can you suggest what might be wrong? Thank you

Hi
Is this a Desktop or a Laptop that you are having problems with ????

My New iPad (16gb 4g) went to sleep,and won't wake up! What should I do?

What should I do? Pls Help!

Assuming that the battery isn't empty (and it can take up to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Comp. went to "sleep", wouldn't wake up while in use (?!?)

Hey all, so yes I have one of the trouble-prone MDD G4's which has had TOO many problems to really go into all of them here (from the inadequate fan it came with that requires me to keep it in Nap mode all the time, to other freezes/Kernel panics that I assume may be related to the probably bad pirated OS I unknowingly installed in it). Although I suppose if I really wanted to spend the time and money on it, I could get it a bit more functional (and tolerable), but at this moment I've practically given up on it, and am just using it until I break down and buy a decent Mac laptop,
Still, I can't help but wonder when I notice a new problem, to see if I'm not the only one. And one I've noticed sporadically, and JUST dealt with, is this:
the computer seemingly "went to sleep" suddenly on its OWN, AS I was using it (just looking at a web page), and would NOT wake up, no matter how many times I clicked the mouse, tapped the buttons on the keyboard, or unplugged/replugged both (ALL of which, obviously, are things which would normally wake a computer up).
I generally just tend to keep the computer asleep when I'm NOT using it, wake it up when I need to, and turn it off/reset it whenever it crashes. And in THIS case, although I could still hear that it was running at full capacity--based on the nose the internal fan was making--I ultimately had to hold the power button down and turn it off after it wouldn't wake, and have turned it back on now.
Anyway, I've posted the problem report log below, if it tells you anything. Are there any settings I may unknowingly have it on in System Prefs, Energy Saver, Desktop & Screen Saver that I might not be aware of that causes it--or ANY computer--to do this??
Because as it is, and based on previous problems LIKE this, I have it set to "Never" go to sleep when it's inactive, "Never" put the display to sleep, putting the Hard Disk to Sleep is NOT checked, "Wake For Ethernet Network Admin Access" IS checked, as is "Allow Power Button to Sleep the Computer" (both under Energy Saver/Options).
Please help! Thank you.

Hmm. Sheesh, there are a LOT of variables that can go wrong with these MDD G4s!! (or at least mine). Insufficient fan, bad OS, bad drive.... oh well.
Well, the installed drive is one my family member (brother) chose pre-installed when he got the computer, a 111.79 GB model ST3120026A (not sure of the model) that I have separated into two 55.77 GB partitions. SINCE I am planning to switch over to a laptop anyway, part of me is thinking I MAY just take this opportunity to back this up onto a decent external teradrive, and transfer all of my personal files over that way. Still: if I DO still opt to get an inexpensive internal drive to keep this computer going, based on your own experience, what technical specifications do you advise me to look for??
And what is the best brick & mortar/online store you'd recommend for me to get a decent internal/external teradrive?? (I have a Fryes not far away, but I don't know if they're necessarily the best place to look...)

MDD went to sleep and wont wake up!
