My macbook wont wake up of sleep and beeps 3 times.. why???

My macbook pro 10.5.8 Intel Core due 2 goes to sleep and it would boot up for example in 3 hours .. but if it is more than 3 hours it wont boot up and starts to make 3 infinite beeps.. its so weird .. what can I do???
and when I had my old battery the span was like 1 hour .. i bought a new one like 4 days ago and I thought that would resolve the problem

According to this Apple article 3 beeps means no good banks.
It's possible your RAM just needs to be reset (it's loose).

My Macbook wont WAKE UP from SLEEP!! help!!

If my macbook stays in sleep mode for more than 1 hour it wont "wake up" from sleep .. and all I can see is a black screen and the sound of fans .. so I have to shut it down.
When I wake it up again it makes three constant BEEPS! :S so I take the battery out and when I put it back in and turn it up it will load everything that was up before sleeping ..
So weird!! what can I do?? I've tried:
SMC reset. PRAM. reset. taking out/back in 2g ram memories ..

MacBook wont wake up from sleep, shuts down randomly, and won't burn. . .

Ever since I upgraded my MacBook to Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 from Tiger (and also purchased and installed Office Mac 2008), it will not wake up from sleep. If I close it while it is still awake, (which I normally would without problems before I upgraded) it will not wake up when I open it; the screen just stays black and I have to use the power button to restart it. This also happens when it falls asleep naturally after being on screen saver. It is a really big annoyance and I know that it must be damaging my computer.
Also, now it will randomly shut down if it does not have the power adapter plugged in, which never happened before.
ALSO, my CD burn attempts will fail midway and say "medium write error".
Can my computer not handle all of the new software I put on it or something? I feel as though it's slowly deteriorating, and it's not even 2 years old. Do I need to buy more memory or disk space? I am really clueless as to how to fix these problems. I'm only 16 and really can't afford to spend money on getting it looked at, so PLEASE help

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
You need to give us more info about your computer: RAM, speed, HD size, freespace etc.
Look at the activity monitor and console logs for potential issues.
Normally a computer will run faster and better with Leopard.
You need to take inventory of any Tiger apps that are not Leopard compatible that may be problematic. Also check what items you have in your login pane.
Have you recently run the disk utility and repaired HD and permissions?

My powerbook G4 12" wont wake up after sleep anymore all the time!

Hi there
I've got a problem with my 12 " pb. quite often it wont wake up anymore after sleeping mode. I then press the "p", "r", comand, and "alt" together with the power button and usually that works. sometimes I need to do that 3 or more times untill it finally starts up again. I ran the hardware test, repaired everything I could but it still does it and I cannot figure out why.
Do you have any ideas what could cause this problem and if so what I could do to solve it?
Thank you very much

Luca:
If you leave your computer on all the time and allow it to sleep instead of shutting it down, you should completely shut it down every now and then (I do this weekly) and then start up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash and Restart normally and log in.
Let me know if this helps.
Cheers

MacBook Pro will not start up and beeps 3 times

Hello. My MacBook Pro worked fine last night. When I tried to turn it on this morning, it will not turn on. The light on the front will turn on and it beeps 3 times...pauses...beeps three time, until I hole down the power button. I do not want to spend a lot of money to fix this problem at the store. What can I do to fix it from home?

3 beeps indicate GPU (video chip) issue. A reflow (heating of the solder balls under the GPU at around 250 degrees) could fix the problem temporary but in order to have a permanent result you need to remove the GPU and replace the solder balls (reballing). If you intent to do just a reflow you will definitelly need apropriate flux to be injected under the GPU. Amtech flux is very good for this job but quite expensive (on ebay most Amtech flux that is offered for under 25$ from China is low quality Chinese copy). There is also CS-FLUX which seems to be flux specially designed for BGA rework by a laptop repair workshop. You can see a few videos about it here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfTs0PdXrvM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgIjdw8aDOA
and it is offered on ebay for around 10Euro for 15cc here

Not unless you live in the Arctic Circle. Safe storage temperatures are as low as -13° F (-24° C) according to Apple.

My iMac wont wake up from sleep

My first gen iMac G5 1.8 20" wont wake up from sleep. Always I have to plug out and then in the power cord from the outlet then I can turn on the computer.
Any suggestion?
Or is this the Apple's known The iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues?
PM QUAD 4.5GB Ram 30" Dell,RAID 0 WD Raptors+1.2TB Maxtor disks with G5 jive Mac OS X (10.4.8) iMac G5 1.8 Ghz,Mac mini intel & mac mini PPC, 24" Dell

You could also try the following;
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 line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your 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 didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.

X505-sp8915r wont wake up after sleep mode

My laptop wont wake up after sleep mode (suspender). The laptop does everything it should like the red lights go off but when i hit the power button just the power red light goes on... The keyboard backlights if I try using it but the monitor wont show anything and the hard disc red light doesn't even blink.
Hibernation seems to be working fine. I had to change all that will make my computer enter sleep mode to hibernate. But I would like to get that fixed. I read something about the bios and my version is "BIOS Version: V1.40. 12/04/09.

Qosmio X505-SP8915R
The BIOS is up to v2.2 now. It's possible that will help.
ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.20 for Qosmio X505 (PQX33U)

MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid

It has been a persisting (and boring) issue. My MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid. I try closing and opening it lots of times but the screen stays black - it doesnt display the user login screen. Anyone has ever experienced this kind of issue, knows what causes it or has a fix for this bug?

Try resetting the SMC:

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 macbook wont wake up of sleep and beeps 3 times.. why???
