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.

Hello Neigilray,
It sounds like you have removed and re downloaded it from the App Store, but when you tap the app icon it still will not launch. If you haven't already, I would delete the app just 1 more time then restart the iPad Mini:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Then install the app again and re test it. if the issue persists, I would next back up your phone to your iTunes library and restore it then test it out again:

Ops I replied to myself in error.....
Tom:
I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
Then I have to shut it down with the power button and then power it up as a reboot.
Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally. It seems to be a overnight problem.
Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

My Macbook pro, (late 2010) sometimes will sleep and won't wake up. then the sleep light flashes.What's the problem

Hi I've been following this thread (along with a different one on the same topic). I've been having the same problem with my ibook. I can add that I have no problem with startup. It's just that the screen "goes to sleep" unexpectedly and may operate normally for a few minutes or a few hours at most. Opening and closing the lid or restarting seems to cause it to awaken but then usually for just a few seconds or minutes. If it is connected to another video display that display continues functioning fine even though the computer screen is blank. In addition the desktop is there and visible faintly or if totally blank can be backlit through the apple logo and can be read. I've had my logic board replaced twice under the extended warranty and assumed it was that but now I'm thinking of the reed switch. Apple refuses to consider any further work under warranty as the last repair was in Jan, 06 and they claim only a 90 parts warranty and the machine is from 03. Any thoughts before I cut the wires? I have reset the pmu, run cocktail and disk utility. Other than the sleep issue the machine works fine. thanks Ronda or anyone else who has any ideas... Dave

Laptop P505D-S8000 went to sleep but won't wake up...

Laptop was put to sleep and now won't wake up. Power, plug & battery lights are on and power switch is lit. No hard drive activity at boot. Fans run than stop. I tried all the known tricks of removing battery & power cord, pushing power button for 60 secs, than powering up with power cord only. This seems to be the fixall for this problem when I searched the web but only seems to work for 1 out of 10 people. I have checked the screen at an angle to make sure the backlight is not out but since I am not getting activity on the hard drive I figured it was OK. I get nothing by trying to boot into setup modes, bios checks or safe mode.
Any last advice other than take it to a toshiba tech? Rick

Unfortunately that fix doesn't always work because these symptoms often represent a hardware failure.
Just to confirm, the power LED (not the AC adapter LED) does light up when you press the power button, right? If so, it does sound like you'll need to get the notebook serviced.

Computer goes into random sleep and won't wake!

This all started over a year ago, but I no longer remember what started it. After downloading an apple update my computer no longer goes into sleep mode on it's own. I have to manually put it to sleep. I tried every solution recommended...resetting everything, changing things in terminal, etc. I used a sleep assist program for a while but then I removed it b/c it was creating other issues. I finally just got used to doing it manually and lived with it.
Well, about 6mo ago (I cannot figure out why it started happening) my computer would just randomly go into a hard sleep mode. The screen goes black but I can still hear the computer running. NOTHING wakes it up. I have to shut down the computer holding the power button and then turn it back on. There seems to be no ill effects and I cannot figure out what is triggering it. I downloaded a cpu temperature program thinking that was it but it stays generally under 40C. It usually just happens while surfing the internet with only 1 or 2 tabs open. I generally only keep 3 programs running at a time (firefox, mail, itunes). It is totally random as I can go weeks without it happening but then yesterday it happened 4x in one day.
Help, I will try anything! Thanks

chic,
This could be caused by a dead PMU battery. This is from the service manual:
"Logic Board Battery
Important: Apple highly recommends removing the battery when handling the logic board. Make sure to use proper ESD protection when handling modules.
The battery on the logic board controls the stored system settings, such as date and time. It is only necessary to test the battery when you can’t power on the computer, or the date and time are
reset every time the AC power is removed.
The battery is also used to power the PMU chip (because the PMU chip keeps time and must always be running) when the computer is unplugged from the wall (AC power). The PMU is very
sensitive and touching any circuitry that is connected to the PMU can cause it to crash. If the PMU crashes, the battery life goes from about five years to about two days if the PMU is not reset. Once the battery goes dead, the PMU will reset the time and date every time the AC power is removed. To fix this situation, replace the battery and reset the PMU (refer to “Resetting the
PMU on the Logic Board” mentioned earlier in this chapter).
If the computer has a “No Power” situation, check the battery before replacing modules.
Testing the Battery
1. Remove the user access door on the bottom of the computer.
2. Locate the battery test point.
3. With the computer powered off, measure the battery voltage. Does the battery measure at least +3.5v?
If no, replace the battery and reset the PMU. If the battery measures +3.5v or higher, reinstall the battery and reset the PMU as above."
The battery test point is the lone one to the left and the ground point is just to the right of it.

IMac went to sleep and refuses to wake

Just bought my iMac this afternoon!
Was working fine until I left the computer idle for 30 minutes, and now, the screen is black. When I rebooted the sound rings but nothing on the screen.
I rebooted, re-plugged power cord/keyboard/mouse, I pressed command, option, P, and R... nothing worked.
Would appreciate some help! Thank you

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return it to the retailer for a replacement.

My laptop sleeps and won't wake up unless restarted.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, my laptop has been behaving strangely. Whenever I "lock" my computer for a bit, it doesn't lock at all as when I come back on, the laptop unlocks and I am straight back to where I was. This is worrying as anyone could just get onto my stuff. Then i leave my laptop plugged in and "locked" overnight. When I come to it in the morning, The on/off button is lit but my screen stays blank and when I press any button nothing happens. I try pressing the on/off button but northing happens. The only way to get my computer to start is by pressing and holding the on/off button to completely switch my laptop off and then restart it. That's when i can sign in mto begin with and then the whole cycle starts again. I would be grateful for some help!

Command (Apple) + Control + Power button should get you a restart.
Instead, it would be my recommendation that you shut it down by holding the Power button down for 5 to 10 seconds.
Next, try resetting the PMU. The PMU (Power Management Unit) has control over the sleep function, so resetting it may help.
Then, every time you have to do a forced shutdown or restart instead of a normal one, there is a chance of hard drive damage and you should repair the hard drive, either by booting into Safe Mode OR by starting up from the Mac OS X Install Disc by inserting the disc and restarting your computer, holding down the C key at the end of the startup chime. Then choose Installer > Open Disk Utility (in Panther) or Utilities > Disk Utility (in Tiger) and select the hard drive in the left column. Choose the First Aid tab. Click Repair Disk to test and repair the hard drive.
Once you have repaired the hard drive with either Safe Mode or the Install disc's Disk Utility, then start up normally and repair permissions from Disk Utility in the Utilities folder on your hard drive.
If you take these steps, maybe you can bid the sleep problems goodbye.

Screen sleeping and won't wake up

Dug out an old eMac I had to give to my kids. Upgraded the memory to 1GB and installed leopard on it.
I think just the screen is sleeping because it did it during the install as well but the install finished and machine sounds like it is under normal use. The only thing I did to try and correct this, seen in sys prefs the screen was set to sleep before the sreen saver would come on. There was a warning indicating this so I made an adjustment and the warning was gone.
At this point, if it goes to sleep all i can do is a hard reboot to get it going again. Any ideas???
Thanks in advance...

High Art,
This is not a common malfunction, so I see no 'off the shelf' solution, but as the old thing has been sitting dormant for some time, replace the internal battery and reset the PMU as the latter may be the cause of it failing to wake from sleep.

Have you tried a soft-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.
If the battery is empty then it may take about 15 minutes of charging before it will respond

I gave my brother my old iPad. I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari.

I gave my brother my old iPad. I reset it so it's like a new iPad. But, it is still in my iCloud tabs, not what he is doing, but the last thing i had open in Safari. When I went to iCloud.com and did the find my iPhone thing, it was still listed. But it couldn't find it. It's rather annoying to have it there all the time. How do I make it go away. I can't see a way to tell iCloud that that device is no longer mine.

Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.

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.
Cheers!
