New powerbook does not wake properly from sae sleep

Hi
Since the battery update my new powerbook is not waking correctly from safe sleep. The grey screen shows it "rebooting", and then the last screen I was on appears, but the machine does not respond to trackpad/keyboard input, nor does the clock update etc.
A friend has the same problem with his. Is this a common issue for people? Any ideas of how to resolve it?
This means it is it effectively impossible to calibrate the battery.
Many thanks
Rhys

I am having the same problem.
The battery runs low and eventually the PB puts itself to sleep.
I plug in the AC adapter then press the power button and it wakes up as normal (via Safe Sleep - white wash screen etc.)
But then once it has started it does not respond to anything on the trackpad or keyboard (even bluetooth keyboard). Only the power button works.
I have tried resetting the PMU but that has had no effect.
At the moment I just have to plug the PB in before it puts itself to sleep.

C310 Does not wake up from Energy Sleep mode

Printer wont wake up from Sleep mode. I have to unplug the printer from the electrical plug. Then it connects Wireless to my network. This Piece of {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} is about to find its way back to the store and I'm going to look at another brand. I have had HP for quite some time. I need Help and don't tell me to call Support unless you can give me someone in AMERICA that speaks english fluently

Me too, I have had the same problem. Numerous hours spent on the phone with HP Support. Tried sequence to get into special support mode but it didn't work. This is my second C310 that has had this problem. I returned my original new one that I bought on HP's shopper site when support determined it was bad. It had the same issue. The last call I made to support they told me just ot wait for new firmware that is supposed to fix this. The do not have any idea when this firmware might be ready. They said just to wait. I have used only HP printers for over 15 years because I believed they were the best printers. I have told several customers, friends, etc to buy only HP printerst, that they were the best. Not so sure I will think that anymore now. We'll see if we ever get that firmware and it works how I feel about HP printers. I really hope it works out but I am tired of waiting.

Nano 6G does not wake up from the sleep timer in the same audiobook/track

My Nano 5G sleep timer will shutdown at the specified time and when I wake it, the Nano will be at the same track and position of my audiobook.
However, my Nano 6G will wake up in a random song as if it shuffled after the shutdown. I test by setting the sleep timer to one minute and play a book.
Is there a setting I have missed? I use ITunes to set the option to remember the position. This happens to my Audible.com books and my MP3 books.
I have Shake to Shuffle OFF. I have done a full firmware restore.

Perform a hard reset on the Notebook. To perform a hard reset, follow the steps below.
Unplug the AC adapter from the notebook PC.
Remove the battery from the notebook battery compartment.
Disconnect any external devices or peripherals connected to the notebook. Press and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds
After this, update the firmware of your Notebook by downloading it from here Let us know if issue persists even after this done.

HP laptop does not wake up from the sleep mode! Urgent help needed!

Hi everyone,
I have purchased HP Pavilion DM4 laptop 3 months ago, for the past month when the laptop goes in the sleep mode ( after being idle for several minutes) and I then try to wake up by hitting any key, even power button, nothing happens. Power light keeps beeping but nothing happens. I have to pull battery and restart the laptop, this is extremly painful as I keep loosing my unsaved documents all the time.
This happens once in every 2 tries. I would really appreciate a help!

After Thunderbolt Firmware upgrade display in target mode does not wake up from screensaver

Hi!
I have a MacBook Pro 2011 (Snow Leopard) connected to an iMac 2011 (Lion) via Thunderbolt. The iMac runs in display target mode.
Last night I update the Thunderbolt firmware on both systems via SW update. Now I have the problem, that the iMac display does not wake up from screensaver mode when I enter the password to unlock the MBP blind (the iMac screen is the main display).
I have to do cmd-F2 twice (do disable and enable) target display mode to get it back to life.
This worked fine before the Thunderbolt updates.
Does anybody else have that problem?
Thanks!
Hank

I have a 2.2Ghz Macbook Core 2 Duo system purchased in December 2007. I have 2GB RAM installed.
My system has developed a weird problem where it won't come out of sleep ... 100% of the time now.
I've tried resetting PRAM/NVRAM, resetting the power module and even reinstalled Leopard. Nothing has helped. I'm at my wit's end.
When I put my system into sleep mode, it goes into sleep mode as you would expect. However, when I wake the system (by opening the lid or pressing any key), the system looks as though it's come out of sleep (ie. there's a picture of desktop) and I can move my mouse but I can't click anything. I can't Cmd-Opt-Esc either. I have to perform a hard-reset at that point.
I have quit all other applications to try to isolate the problem and I'm beginning to think it's either Leopard or my MacBook. Either way, it's annoying as **.
Has anyone come up with a way to fix this? Doesn't seem like I'm the only one.
Thanks,
Chris

TS2972 my new computer does not show shared from my old computer. how long does this take??

My new computer does not show share from my old computer how long does this take?

I'm having the same problem. I have my main Library on a WXP machine and a new W7 laptop. My iphone 4 sees the library from the W7 machine, but neither the laptop nor the iphone see the big library on the WXP machine. I have configured firewall settings, tried the network wired and wireless, using same apple id on all devices, restarted itunes on all computers, turned sharing off and on on all computers. Nothing works.

Lenovo 11s- Screen Does Not Wake Up From Sleep

My Lenovo Yoga 11s does not wake up after putting it to sleep. I will press the power button multiple times, but the screen stays black. To turn it on I have to press the power button for 10 seconds so it completely shuts off, then I push the power button to turn it on. However when I do this all my tabs and windows are closed, which is very inconvenient.
Please help me find a solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After installing iCloud mac does not wake up from sleep

I have all of the necessary components and software for running iCloud however my computer will not wake up from sleep. I only get the gray sceen. Any ideas?????

You shouldn't need software (other than Lion).
I'd reboot it and see if that gets around the issue. It isn't supposed to do that.
Press and hold the power button until the Macbook reboots.

Powerbook 5,7 boots only after pmu reset, does not wake up from sleep

Hello,
my PB 5,7 wont boot normally. I got to reset the pmu every time i try to power on, even when i put it into sleep it will not wake up - only after the pmu reset.
What i tryed until now is:
reset pram, disconnect: HD, optical drive, PC Card, Soudboard, Airport, right USB board, left USB Flex cable, fans – no other reaction.
I changed: Topcase with keyboard, DC-IN board, power cables, batterie cable, RAM and right USB board with the pram batterie - every time it will only start with the pmu reset.
I installed a new tiger system and also a new leopard from orig. DVDs and updated both via Airport with the combo updates.
Now i dont have any further idea. Every help would be appreciated! Did i have overseen a crucial thing? Thank you all!
Must I replace the Logicboard?
Best regards
siebo

Hallo,
yes I run the AHT. There came no error message. For the AHT my Powerbooks seems totaly ok. And I also reset my Mac's PRAM and NVRAM without any results.
But thank you for your suggestions!

DELL Inspiron N5110 does not Shut Down and does not wake up from Sleep

Hello.
I have Dell Inspiron N5110 which cannot shut down neither in Windows 7 nor in Ubuntu Linux. I specifically booted Ubuntu Live from the CD to eliminate the possibility that the problem is in the Windows 7. Shutdown in Ubuntu does not work either. This proves that the reason in not a BACKGROUND application in Windows that remains hanging and does not allow the laptop to shut down.
The laptop cannot wake up after Sleep or Hibernate either.
I have tried every solution that you advised to all the other people in the forum that have the same issue.
1. The laptop cannot shut down in Safe Mode either.
2. It cannot shut down even after Clean Boot Mode - all non-MS services disabled and all Startups disabled.
3. I tried changing the Advanced Power Options of "Allow Hybrid Sleep" - both ON for "On AC Power" and "Running on battery" - no change.
4. I tried installing the latest video drivers for Nvidia. This did not help either.
5. Running only on battery does not change anything - still cannot shutdown.
6. Running only on AC adapter without battery - still cannot shutdown.
7. I tried removing the AC adapter and battery and holding the POWER button for 30 seconds to RESET the laptop - did not work.
ATTENTION: I've been reading your forums all day and saw at least 10-15 reports of the same problem and not a single fixed case.
8. This is why I have not tried Flashing the BIOS to the latest version - I read other people tried that and it didn't work either.
9. I loaded BIOS default settings (F9) - still cannot shutdown.
REMARK: Changing something in the BIOS and trying to Exit once caused the laptop to freeze and I had to Power Off by holding the button for longer.
10. I ran DELL Diagnostics from Boot menu (F12 at startup) - no errors found.
11. I could not locate IEEE 1394 Adapter in Device Manager to change its Power Management settings.
Actually none of the suggestions you may give for changing something in Windows makes sense because I already mentioned that shut down in Ubuntu does not work either.
The issue seems to be either in the BIOS or a hardware problem. But which component? Is it the CD/DVD drive?
This is a new laptop.
Please advice how to proceed. If you know which component fails please tell me.

Remove the keyboard and palm rest (guide from dell shows you how) and you should see a small coin cell battery. Remove it for at least 10 seconds, then put it back in. Enter BIOS and make sure there isn't anything weird that was changed. It should work properly now. I have had this working in Ubuntu 12.04 for the last few days, with no problems.

New system does not boot properly

I just set up a new system with:
a MS-6728 Neo2 FIS2R Mobo,
1gb Geil PC-3500 RAM (2x512),
2.6C proc.
2 Maxtor 120gb IDE drives RAID 0 with the onboard promise controller.
Lite-On DVD burner
ATI radeon 9800 video card
Enermax 300 watt power supply with:
3.3v - 28amp
5v - 30amp
12v 22amp
170watt total 3.3/5 combined
My problem is that my system NEVER boots up normally. It always freezes in the bios startup. The D-bracket stops at almost every possible combination of led's, which according to the manual the problems were: Testing RTC, Initialize Video interface, Testing memory, Initializing floppy controller, Memory detection, Decompressing bios to ram, possibly more. Sometimes I also just get beeping, either a continuous beep or 8 beeps. A few times it would display the bios startup screen, but halfway down would be gibberish characters and would be locked up. When I then turn the computer off then on again, the bios is reset at least somewhat(i know because I usually disable the full screen image on startup) and says memory timings are too tight, and I have the choice to enter bios or hit any key to automatically fix things. If I hit any key it will boot up ok. However when I restart/turn off the computer, the next time it again does not boot. I tried upping the ram voltages from 2.5-2.9v, and that seems to stay that way in the bios, even when it resets itself. Everything else is set to auto/slow. If I try to manually adjust the memory timings, even to the slowest possible settings, it does not boot, and I must turn it on/off a few times till the bios resets again, with the boot process stopping at one of the possiblilitys mentioned above. Using the info tab on speedfan, I got the memory info, and it displayed the voltage at 2.5v, not sure what that means but it is strange.
What I have already attempted:
I sent back the ram and got a new set, which hasn't changed anything. The first time the other ram failed memtest, this time it passed(for about 2 hrs). So I don't think its the ram.
I borrowed an antec truepower 430w powersupply, which had no effect.
I went back to bios version 1.3 from 1.9, which also seems to have no effect.
I was hoping to overclock the system a bit and enable performance mode etc etc, but now I'll be happy to just not have to go through a song and dance everytime I restart the computer. This is only the second computer I have built from scratch, and the first with raid, but that seemed to all go ok. Please help me diagnose the problem!

I too am having problems with my system.
865PE Neo2-FIS2R
2 Maxtor 120GB S-ATA drives, RAID 0, Promise
2 512MB Geil Ultra CL2-3-3-6
HP CD-RW
What IDE settings are you using?
E.g...Native? P-ATA Only...all of those settings
For me...sometimes XP will install and boot...but eventually system is unstable and XP crashes and corrupts itself...Event Manager errors different each time
Someone mentioned problems with Maxtor and AMI BIOS...anything I should keep in mind?
Sorry about all the different questions. I'm sure exactly where my problem lies. MSI thinks it may be my memory AND/OR on-board IDE controller since I can't get the on-board Intel RAID setup to consistently "see" and setup my RAID drives...even when it has worked...XP doesn't like the Intel configured RAID drives. Also tried just one S-ATA drive through on-board Intel and Promise. Next I will try a plain old IDE Hard Drive...no S-ATA...and make sure my memory passes memtest86+ testing.
Any other gems you can offer for this config??? Thanks.

23" Cinema Display (clear frame) does not 'wake up' from Sleep

A strange thing has been occurring in the last month or so. When my Mac Pro (OS 10.5.8) awakes from 'Sleep' mode the monitor does not come on. When I push the 'On' button in the lower right hand corner of the display frame the light comes on and then goes off when my finger pressure is removed.
The only 'fix' so far is to shut down the entire system for a minute or more by pressing the Mac Pro 'On/Off' button and then pressing the button to start up. And sometimes the display does not come one even then, necessitating several tries.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

New reader does not download forms from Canadian immigration website

WhenI tried to download or open a pdf file from Canada immihration website eventhough I downloaded the latest version of adobe the website does not recognize it and doesn't allow to get the form

You don't need Adobe Reader to download a PDF; you just need it if you want to open it directly. I had no problems downloading several PDFs from http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visa.asp

Computer does not wake up from suspend

Hi,
Lenovo 3000 V100 0763 - Windows Vista Business.
I have a very annoying problem:
putting the computer to sleep , or when closing the lid for sleep (the moon icon lits up)
and waking it after 10-15 seconds is ok.
But more than that , even for a couple of minutes the computer simply will not wake up , everything seem to load ok , but the screen stays black , and the computer is not responding , than I have to lose all my job and press 5 seconds on the off button to get it shutdown and than booted from scratch.
It happens on any installation of Vista, clean or Lenovo's original.
It happens on Windows XP too
I have tried to completely uninstall and reinstall the video driver , it will not help
The computer has the latest Bios , and the latest Lenovo drivers (which are mostly 2007 though)
Any expert help will be much appreciated. I am out of ideas.
Simply not feasable that a laptop will not be able to do such an elementary option :-(

Suggestion .. setup your signature .. Os & what your computer has on it .. It helps the solution..kinda like mine .. never too much info.
When the screen goes black, and touchpad has no life, Click "Fn" and then move your finger around on the touchpad .. works for me ..try that before you lightly press the power button ..
Right click the desktop, select properties, screen saver, power, select laptop, change the settings .. plugged - top left .. 30min, 1 hr, 3 hrs, 4 hrs hiber .. top right - on batts .. 10 min, 45 min, 2 hrs, 3 hrs hiber.. try my settings .. see if that works ..
Set a system restore before you start messing .. I turned stuff off stuff using .. start .. run .. type in msconfig, select start up tab, click off some you think might be ok to try .. kinda pot luck .. there might be some better postings ..after you reboot don't click save on changes untill you know things are working..
Re-imaging .. works good .. just backup what you want because it's gone afterwards.. if you send it in especially .. back it up!
Good Luck..

Computer does not wake up from stand by mode?

After leaving my mac alone, without doing anything for a while, the screen dims and eventually turns off (and it goes into standby mode, normally I presume). I think I have a screensaver set, but it never turns on and the screen is always black.
The serious problem comes when I try to wake the computer up. Jiggling the mouse, using the keyboard, and even pressing the power button do not usually invoke any response. The screen does not turn on unless I persist for 10 or more minutes in some situations. I have even unplugged, and plugged the computer back in with little or no results. Sometimes the screen will flash on for a second then turn off again. When I finally get it working it operates normally until the next time I need to wake it up. If I have any programs open before letting the computer fall asleep, then they are still open when I finally get the computer running (unless I unplugged it).
This is getting extremely annoying, and I can not seem to fix the problem. Do I have a virus? Is something malfunctioning? What can I do about this?
Getting a mac is seeming like a bad decision ...

This is absolutely not a virus, or any other kind of malware.
One thing to try is resetting the SMC.
If that doesn't work, it's possible that you have some bad software installed that is causing problems. Try restarting in safe mode, then leave the machine alone and let it go to sleep. Does the problem recur in that case, or does it go away? If it goes away, then returns as soon as you restart normally, it's a third-party software problem.
