New Mac Pro shuts down when I put it to sleep?

I go to click my mouse of keyboard and nothing happens. I click the power button the back lights up and turns on as if it were off, what gives? This is brand new 64gb ram, 12 core, didn't even do a migration so it's all new stuff on here.

Hello Chief Sneed,
It sounds like your computer is going to sleep but when you later go to wake it up it will not turn on unless you press the power button and it looks to have shutdown at some point. I recommend checking to see if the computer is scheduled to shutdown at a certain time with the following article:
OS X Mavericks: Schedule your Mac to shut down or go to sleep automatically
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13914
Schedule your Mac to turn on, turn off, go to sleep, or wake from sleep at specified times. You might do this if you want to be sure your Mac turns off when you aren’t working and turns on before you come to work.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver.
Click Schedule, then select the options you want to use.
To schedule a startup or wake time for your Mac, select the “Start up or wake” checkbox. Choose a day or group of days from the pop-up menu, then enter a time.
To schedule a shutdown, sleep, or restart time for your Mac, select the bottom checkbox and choose the appropriate option from the pop-up menu. Choose a day or group of days from the pop-up menu, then enter a time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

  • My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still have 50 minutes life.

    My MAC Pro shuts down when the battery still has 52 minutes life without any warning. Does anyone have this problem? BTW, it is less than one year old.

    You must have a MacBookPro, right? MacPro's are big desktop models.
    Try the MacBookPro battery forum or their Usage forum.

  • My computer shuts down when I put it to sleep

    Ever since I used some of those auto-download upgrades my Mac shuts down when I put it to sleep. What's wrong?

    Hi gazebo, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
    May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

    Check this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 and this one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
    If it sounds like a RAM issue it could be one of the RAM chips has failed. You could try removing the RAM one at a time and see if it starts with one still installed.

  • Why mac pro shuts down when idle, even when charging ipad?

    why mac pro shuts off when idle, even while charging ipad?

    Thanks for replying. I have a macbook Pro. In my energy saver, I ticked the following: put hard disk to sleep when possible, wake for network access and automatically reduce brightness before display goes to sleep. My boyfriend has the same settings but I can charge my ipad with no interruption on his macbook Pro and it doesn't shuts off when idle. Thanks for your help

  • My brand new Mac Pro shuts down for no reason

    My two week old Mac Pro shut downs for no pparent reason. Using the wireless, not plug in to an outlet but battery fully charged. Both times happen within 15hrs. apart.

    Take it back to Apple and ask them to fix it.

  • Mac Pro shuts down when I move case

    Whenever I turn on my Mac Pro it sometimes randomly shuts down and when I move it, it all most certainly shuts down. I've tried a smc reset and a pram reset but when moving it, it still turns off. need help thanks :)

    Is the power cord plug pushed in all the way at the back of the computer?

  • New Mac Book Shuts Down when I plug in the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter

    I have a new 15" MacBook pro and every time I plug in the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter, it shuts down. I installed the Mini DisplayPort to VGA Firmware Update (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl799) and it still shuts down. It shuts down whether I have a display/projector plugged in or not.
    Any suggestions???

    Try turning the MBP off before you connect or disconnect an external monitor. I could be wrong but I do not believe that the DVI interface was designed to be a hot swap interface.

  • Mac Pro Shuts down when sleep selected

    My Mac Pro (Quad 2.8 - Early 2008) Locks up or powers off when I try to sleep the machine. This also happens during an automatic sleep, which I have since disabled. I got assistance from online tech support. We tried just about every routine procedure, but nothing helps.
    The strange part is once the machine is powered off I have to wait about 20 minutes before I can turn it back on. Every attempt using the power button fails. So I have to let it sit for a while. I thought it was over heating, but the fans are working fine and very quiet.
    Help needed.

    I think it gets a little bit mental when we start talking about nano volts in power supplies. If these machines need a pristine supply to operate, then how have Apple managed all these years? This is a problem with the machines themselves (and even if it IS caused by domestic power supply, then the fault is still with the machines, as most folk don't live in these hermetically sealed biospheres that seem to be recommended). Mine just started doing the same thing. Other machines (Mac Pros, iMac and MacBook) are fine. Also odd that so many domestic power supplies across the world cause different people with the same machine to have the same fault.
    I suspect it's a dodgy card. Perhaps corrupted system preferences, but given the number of folk with the problem (why does that always get ignored in favour of assuming all incidents are separate?), I suspect a hardware issue.
    I've tried the 'unplugging everything' routine, but the fault returns. I'll try the 'unplugging everything for a day' routine - as mooted - and see what's what. But I suspect a trip to Apple is on the cards. I'm running Disk Warrior at present, to what avail I'm unsure, but I'll update my progress here.

  • Why does my macbook shut down, when I put it in sleep?

    It has been happening for couple of times already, and I am wondering if there is any serious going on and I have to pay the support team to fix this? Is there anything specific that I should have done that make it turn off when it is in sleep?
    The story is when it is in sleep the light is showing as normal of turning on and off. but the moment I open the mac, it totally shuts down and if i close the mac again, the light is ON all the time. In order to use to mac I have to use the Turn on/off power to turn it on again. Nothing else works... I have tries typing, click on return, click on the mouse... nothing happens!!!!!
    By the way, this is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8

    The usual steps for resolving this type of issue are
    - Reset the PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    - Reset the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    - Calibrate the battery: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490

  • My system shuts down when i ask it to sleep.. Help??!!

    I have The operating system Windows 8.1. When i close the laptop or ask it to sleep it closes without a problem. On restart all the programs i had open are closed and it reboots as if i shut the laptop down rather than asked it to sleep.
    I'm doing my dissertation at the minute and I have many tabs open, it just adds to my frustration when i have to re-open all the tabs and wait 2-5 minutes for the system to boot?
    Is there anything I can do?
    Knowhow at pc world said there is nothing i can do, its just an operating system fault?
    HELP!!??

    Hi,
    How do you wake up your computer, pressing FN? How long it takes to wake up from sleep?
    I suspect that your computer unexpected shut down when you put it into Sleep.
    Please run SFC /scan command to check if there is any error or corrupted files which may cause the issue.
    Would you please also check if there is any minidump created after sleep?
    To ensure minidumps are enabled, refer to the step “Configure the dump type” in following article:
    How to read the small memory dump file that is created by Windows if a crash occurs
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263#method2
    If there it is, please help to upload it here for our research.

  • Mac Pro shuts down after setting up RAID (HELP!)

    So, I recently purchased a rev 1 Mac Pro and decided to setup a RAID using 4 750gb WD drives. I am not using a RAID card, simply using Disk Utility.
    I first combined drives in bays 1 and 2 (striped) and then combined drives in bays 3 and 4 (striped) to give me essentially two 1.5tb drives.
    I then created a mirrored RAID using the two striped raids so that I would have the speed of a striped RAID with the safety of a mirrored RAID.
    Once I did this, it showed up as one hard disk on my desktop (I was booting with an external). I then cloned my external drive to the new RAID disk on the desktop, and did so successfully.
    However, now when I try to boot from the RAID, it chimes, the Apple appears, and then the Mac Pro shuts down. I tried holding down option and all 4 drives appear. I tried booting from a different drive, and the same thing happens. I should also note that the firmware bar flashes on the screen before shutting down (looks like a really long pill).
    Any ideas? Does it sound like I did something wrong? I hate to start from scratch, as it takes all night to clone my external drive to the Mac Pro. Thanks for any help.

    Hello, Hatter. Thanks so much for the information. I went with the information from the Macworld article (I believe) "RAIDing the Mac Pro" and according to it this setup was supposedly a great idea. But, yes, it's not working out so perhaps not in this case.
    So, I have four brand new 750gb Caviar Black drives installed. If I understand you correctly, I should stripe 3 disks together, then use a 4th as backup (using Time Machine?). So, if I use the drives I have, I'll have a striped configuration that gives me 2.25TB of space, and a 750gb hard drive for backup. That technically would work for now, as I have about 660gb of data on the system (although in the future I'd need to swap out that 4th drive for a 2TB.
    So, if that is what you're suggesting, would you mind telling me exactly how I do that? I think I understand, but just want to make sure as this is my first Mac Pro and first time setting up a RAID. Thank you so much for your response.
    p.s.: I'm guessing I'll need to do a fresh start and clone my external drive all over again, correct?

    MacBook Pro shuts down when I close lid. How can I prevent it?

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.

  • Mac Pro Shuts down

    Hi.
    My Mac pro shuts down unexpectedly after about three days. And I don't know why. It never happens when I'm working with the computer. In pref it is set to never shut down or rest and to turn on automatically after power failure. But this dosen't seem to work either.
    I made a dump from system log or what it is called in english. Maybe someone smart can figure out what seems to be the problem by reading the things happening before the shut down?
    I have a FTP server on the mac so I would like it to be up and running all the time.
    OS is 10.9.5
    regards
    < Personal Information Edited By Host >

    new log if anyone have any ideas what seems to be the problem.
