Montain lion after upfrade will not wake up

I everyone, I just upgrade my Macbookpro to Mountain Lion and now when it go to sleep, I cannot wake it up. I read lot of post and many users as the same issue. I tried resetting SMC and other solution with no success. I'm surprise that Apple didn't came up with a fix with this issue. I will love to get this issue fix ASAP.

I have this problem as well. I connect my Macbook Pro 13' (early 2011) to a Samsung monitor, together with keyboard and mouse. It has no problem when you just leave it idles/sleeps for short period of time. However the machine just refuses to wake up when I leave it overnight with keyboard and mouse still on. Eventually I have to force switch off the machine by holding the power button until it dies off. I have a strong feeling that it might just kill my macbook pro hardware lifespan as it is not a good habit to switch off without proper shut down procedure.
P.S. My Mac OS version is 10.7.2.

Non retina 15" MBP will not wake up after sleep following mountain lion upgrade

I have an early 2012 15" 2.2 MBP with the 4gb video card. since upgrading to ML a lengthy sleep renders it unresponsive. it will not wake up and will have to be force shut down, then restarted to use. you can here the hard drive spin up after a long sleep (6-8 hours) but only after you hit the power button. even so it's completely unresponsive until restarted.. i noticed apple released an update for retina MBPs for the same issue. unfortunately they have not released the same update for non retina users yet.

Since you had NO problems before ML upgrade:
Not to side with the tech or you, because upgrading OS can be frustrating (it shouldn't).
It appears that you need to do a reinstall (backup first). Its pretty simple to reinstall, just go to boot drive and reinstall. You'll probably have to reinstall print drivers, other than that it's pretty straight forward.
A couple of things I'd do before and after reinstall is to repair the disk (3 times each) while in the boot drive. Then once completed choose the startup disk in system preferences or at least verify it's the startup disk, then repair permissions. If you add apps or printer drivers repair permissions again.
A major problem for lots of folks updating to a new OS is they don't think about disk health....And that's why it's important to insure everything is in mint condition before upgrading to a new OS. The same reason many choose to do a FRESH install of a new OS, by zeroing out the HDD (or SSD) and then repairing the disk and then installing the new OS (you MUST have a solid backup before doing so).
I always have at least 2 solid backups before doing so, but that's me. 100% of the time I do a fresh install of a new OS.
I have a spare computer I use as a test machine for a week or so by upgrading without fresh install. After figuring out all the possible bugs with the test machine I do a clean install of my other computers and once there stable I do a fresh install of the upgraded one.
Not a lecture on how to do things just my procedure which has served me over the years without any problems.
I have photos, videos, documents, and financial records dating back to 1991 so I must be doing something right.

MacbookPro will not wake up from sleep after memory upgrade

I am restarting this topic as I have read thread after thread (many years old) and they all just die off with out any definite solution.
I have a 13" Mid 2010 Mac book Pro which originally came with 250gb HDD and 4gb memory
I have recently upgraded to a 256 SSD and a 1TB HDD optidrive replacement along with a 8GB memory upgrade and I am now running Lion 10.7.4
If I close the lid and open within approximately 1 minute it will wake up quickly as normal, if I leave it asleep for a minute or 2 it will not wake up with out holding the power button for several seconds and then I still need to wait a several seconds for it to respond and actually wake up. Sometimes I will need to completely shut down and restart. If I wanted a computer that takes forever to wake up I would have a PC!
The last thing I upgraded was the memory so I am sure it is the cause of the sleep problem and not the SSD conversion which was working fine with the original 4GB mem before upgrade.
I have read about resting the PRAM, resetting PMC as well as executing a line in the terminal, but all of these seem to have variable success. I have tried every thing but using the terminal to adjust the hibernate mode setting as I am not proficient with terminal and don't actually understand what changing this setting does (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 7).
Has anyone resolved this sleep problem and what did you do? I would greatly appreciate some knowledgeable insight on the hibernation settings, and what running the line in the terminal is actually doing... even better what is the default so I can change it back if it doesn't resolve the problem.
A simple memory upgrade causing such a issues is very irritating.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

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!)

My MacPro will not wake up from sleep after the 10.8.2 upgrade.

Since latest os upgrade to 10.8.2, my mac will not wake up from sleep.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Can't access my video meetings after Lion install Flashplayer will not let me accept or deny

I can't access my online meetings after installing lion. Flashplayer will not let me accept or deny.

Yes I have tried everything. Talked with support on the phone and all they could say was it is adobe Flash players fault. They had no idea how to fix it.

Sleeping Mountain Lion will not wake up

I have just update to Mountain Lion on my 27inch iMac .
Once it goes to sleep automatcially it will not wake up again. I need to press the power button and reboot the whole system which loses any work I am doing
There was no problem with Lion. The machine would wake up via the mouse click or enter on the keyboard
Has anyone else experience this problem and is ther a setting that neds to be changed somewhere

I suspect now that some widgets, and apps are setting bad hibernatemodes.
source: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19066192#19066192#19066192
I used pmset -g, and it said I was in hibernatemode 5. I set this (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0) closed the lid, and it came back up. I set it to 3, and the same. I moved over to my widget, and set it. Checked my mode, and it was back to 5.
I used `man pmset` it said to only use mode 0, 3, and 25! No others! I again set it (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 25) this time to 25, and it seems to work fine.
I suspect Apple made changes to their power managment, and disabled older modes. They should have set this correctly in our upgrades, instead of letting us figure it out.

My iMac will not wake up from sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading to OS X, my iMac will not wake up from sleep. Each time I have to do a hard restart. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking. It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

After installing mavericks, the iMac will not wake from sleep properly (at all)

I've upgraded to 10.9 (late 2012 21" iMac), and I notice in the morning when the iMac has been sleeping overnight, it will not wake up,
During the day, if it sleeps for a few hours, it seems fine, and wakes normally, prompting me to type my password,
In the morning however, I hit a key (on my wireless keyboard), and the display wakes up, I get a dark grey screen, and see the loading circle (not the beachball) in the middle, and see the cursor for a few seconds, before it then disappears, and reappears.
This cycle repeats itself,
The 'fix' is to do a forced shutdown by holding the powwer button until it shuts down, and then restart.
Anyone else find this problem/find a solution?

Mid 2011 21.5 inch iMac with lion video=freeze, will not restart for 30-60 minutes , today it took 14 hours before power button would restart it , is anyone else having a long restart after this problem?

Look in Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and see if you have any runaway processes using a lot of %CPU.
I would also strongly recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode. If it reports errors you can Google them or post them here.

ARD 3.3 Will not Wake Machine After Long Sleep

We are using ARD 3.3 on our network. We have found that ARD will not wake machines after they have gone to sleep and stayed in that state overnight. If I manually wake the machine and put it to sleep, it works fine. If I wake the machine and put it to sleep for several hours, it still works fine. The problem is completely random and only seems to happen when the machines have been asleep overnight. There are three machines this occurs with, I will describe each one below. I have a sneaky suspicion that it is our Firewall appliance causing the problem, but would appreciate any other input...
Machine #1
Intel Imac 2.8Ghz core-duo
OS X 10.5.8
4GB 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Problem: Occurs 98% of the time and is very consistent on this machine
Machine #2
PPC G5 Imac 1.9Ghz
OS X 10.4.11
1.5GB SDRAM
Problem occurs about once a week to once every other week with this machine
Machine #3
Intel Imac 2Ghz Core Duo
Mac OS X 10.5.8
2GB 1067Mhz DDR3
Problem occurs once in a blue moon
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps with machine #1 because it seems to have the problem so much...
1. Tried another user account
2. Tried removing power management plist located in HD --> Library --> Preferences --> Systemconfig
3. Tried resetting the SMU
4. Tried to repair disk permissions
5. Ran FSCK -FY from single user mode
6. Ran AHT for 17 hours straight with no errors
7. Booted to clean install of OS on external FW drive with user ported to FW drive.
BTW: Our firewall appliance is an Snapgear SG560 with the latest firmware.
Thanks for any input much appreciated...

I cannot wake up any computers even if asleep for a few seconds. ARD 3.3 has broken a lot of features such as copying files by dragging from a remote connection to desktop and it no longer reports Current Status correctly.
AWFUL update. Apple please fix this or explain how to downgrade to 3.2
I can no longer use this in the school where I supervise 50 Macs.

Often will not wake after extended sleep; PowerMac G5 Quad

Why is it that My G5 Quad has repeatedly refused to wake from a sleep?
when i leave it for a night, a few days, sometimes even a few hours, the machine will not wake. keyboard, mouse, all no response. even restart key combos, nothing. I end up doing a cold restart (holding down the power button). i hate doing that.
i've run hardware tests, nothing. Perhaps its a cooling/heating issue?
once, i did the cold restart and it froze up in the moment when the red light blinks and it shuts down. but that time the red light stayed on and the fans were all blaring. I had to pull the power cord out!
it seems to occur when i leave an application running that uses the internet. folding at home, mainly.
anyone know about this? do i have to send 'er in for some fixing?

If you're in a
very dusty environment, I've seen that cause clogging
of the fans/cooling system - otherwise, suspect RAM
first as noted.
I think you may be right. i just found the processor box thingy (next to the fans?) was almost 90% caked with dust. i busted out the handy vac and carefully vac'ed it clean. i made sure not to put the vacuum nozzle right up to the box, just skirting it a half-inch above.
I called applecare just now and went through some steps to remedy the sleeping crashes;
we booted from install dvd, ran disk utility "repair disk" no errors, hardware test said no errors on a recent test. we then booted to open firmware, reset three things rebooted with some key commands, three chimes, booted, unplugged the beast, replugged, rebooted, unpluged, pushed in the little power module button. now it seems even a bit smoother than before!
only thing was that pushing the little power reset button in there is subtle. you can't really feel that you've pushed it! the guy didn't tell me to be careful not to push it more than once until after i'd tried to push it maybe ten times. apparently you just touch it and it's done, but i thought it would pop or click or slide more, but i guess not?
hopefully that will resolve the sleeping crashes, i'll have to wait and see.
if it happens again, i'll take your advice and assume it's the ram. I won't swap them, because i'm a front-end guy. i was so scared to open the box just now, and imagine my peril when i realized i had to vacuum inside there!
If it happens again, I will take it in to an applestore, that way if it breaks i am not gonna get blamed.
THANK YOU BOTH!

HP P1102w printer will not wake up after sleep (wireless setup, win8)

Bought this printer a month ago. I have no problem with both LAN +Wireless setup.
Windows8 OS
I noticed once the printer is not on (goes to sleep), it will not wake up by itself.
According to manual, if I send a print job, it should wake up by itself.
Currently, this is what I need to do.
I need to physically turn off and turn on the printer, wait for 10-15 seconds until the wifi blue light is solid (no blinking)
and then send my print job, and it will work
Just wondering whether HP has a solution to this, thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Is HP ever going to fix / address this issue?
People Running the latest firmware - 20130703
And there is no option to disable Sleep mode. The max you can set it to is 1 hour.
The power physically / manually has to be powered back on, to establish IP connectivity.
This has been an issue for 2 years now!!! Come on what does it take to get an update?
Seriously?

(10.6.5) Will not wake after sleep with CUDA running

If I have a CUDA application running when I sleep my system, then the system will NOT wake up. This worked fine in 10.6.4.
Ideas? How do I downgrade?

Hello:
Try resetting the SMC and PRAM (instructions in knowledge base articles).

Mac will not wake up

Ever since the newest update to my Mac, it goes into sleep mode on its own after a certain amount of time (as it always has before). But now, it will not wake up. I have to hold the power button to shut it off then restart it. This happens every single time it sleeps now. How do I fix this issue?
I am running OS X Mountain Lion 10.9.2
Jocelyn

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please don't skip any of the steps.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator for this step.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, look under the heading DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION on the left for Diagnostic and Usage Messages. If you don't see that heading, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.) Select the last few messages that appear, if any, and copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
