New Sleep Wake Issue

Hey there MacBook owners. I seem to have a new issue with my MacBook not coming alive after I shut the lid and putting it to rest for the evening. I leave the computer asleep, rather than do a complete shutdown. But this morning when I was ready to go online, I opened the display deal and the sleep light wasn't purring like it should and the computer was totally black screen. I hit the space bar and mmoved the mosue pad which always wakes it up. But today was the fist time ever that it wouldn't come alive. I hit the power button to do a restart, but dead, no chime, nothing. I then unhooked the power cord from the computer, hit the power switch, then bam, like magic, it restarted fine. It took a little longer than usual, but it was a hard restart.
I am on OS 10.5.2, no new software or updates to anything have been done as I recall. As I said, this is the first time this has happened. The computer seems to be running fine online and working big hi-rez images in Photoshop, no crashes or hangs. I do have AppleCare, but I need my computer for the continual workflow I have going daily, so to put it into the shop, I am hoping to avoid. This glitch seems to have something to do with the computer hooked to the AC power cord. The computer is at 99-100% charge, so charging is normal.
Anyone having this same issue and found out what it is and how to correct it?
Thanks for any help Steve

I had the same problem, along with random waking. I took it to the Genius Bar and mailed it for repairs twice. They replaced the logic board the last time and the problem you described has not recurred.
I'll have to send it back again because its still randomly waking, on a regular basis, with the lid opened or closed.

Mac Pro with Dell UP2414Q Sleep Wake Issue

Hi,
I have *two* Dell UP2414Q displays connected to a new Mac Pro, both using Display Port 1.2 (MST) setting in order to get 4K @ 60Hz.
Works fine. Except Google Chrome which is really lame at redrawing all these pixels when you scroll up/down.
The issue is: when the displays go to sleep for a longer period of time (actually it's probably when the Mac Pro itself has gone to sleep) and I wake the system up, the Dells sometimes won't wake up!
And if I start fiddling with the display buttons I will get a half image (left half of the screen). Same problem on each display except sometime it's the first one that doesn't wake up, sometimes it's the second one and sometimes it's both. Unfortunately the situation where they both wake up is extremely rare
Has anyone else had similar troubles?
Note: I have had similar sleep wake issues with just one UP2414Q connected.
I'm running OS X 10.9.4 (of course).
I'm also having a 3rd smaller display connected though a DVI adapter. That one wakes up 100% of the time. I previously had 3 of these and they did always wake up all 3 without issues.

I have this issue with the UP2414Q monitor and my new Mac Pro . . . . . and then some.
I started by losing the right half of the screen on wake up. After about two months of use, my monitor has developed a fault where both sides of the monitor are displayed but at seemingly very different calibrations. The left half is contrasty and the right half seems to be correctly matched to my working profile. This is using the display port connections. HDMI doesn't have this problem but it also won't run at 60Hz, which was an important factor in my choice of this monitor.
At this point I contacted both Apple and Dell. Although I have had quite a few different Apple support staff over a period of a week or so, they did keep good notes, were very patent and seemed to take a genuine interest into trouble shooting it. I cannot say the same for Dell. At first they did ask questions and did the right thing by sending a replacement. It worked fine on display port, then on HDMI but when I connected it back to display port the split screen problem occurred on the brand new replacement one too. After a day of fiddling with connections it went back to displaying correctly with all connections and has not reverted but it does now have the dead right halve on wakeup more frequently than before. I reconnected the original monitor but that has the split screen problem and I can't find a way of getting it to go away. It is unusable.
This incident with the replacement monitor was five days ago. In that time I have tried to contact Dell support by the original e-mail of the technician that initially helped and by phone, through the support number. The email gets the repeated response "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your email. I have left for the day, hence my reply will be delay". It happens in the mooring or the afternoon. A phone call to Dell's support number always starts with a promise to be transferred to the technician dealing with my case and, without fail ends by me being left on hold indefinitely with a terrible one minute audio loop followed by a repeated promise of the next available agent. I once waited over 30 minutes, just to test it. I live in Australia but this was clearly an international call centre. Dell obviously have no intention of dealing with my case. They will have to talk soon though because I still have an extra one of their monitors.
Unless there is a firmware update for this monitor, I would strongly advise against buying one for a Mac, or any Dell product for that matter.

Connecting external NEC PA271W via Displayport cable to MBPr has sleep/wake issues

I am experiencing strange sleep/wake issues after connecting my NEC PA271W 27'' external monitor via a mini-displayport to displayport cable to my MBPr.
Waking up from sleep mode, the resolution of my monitor would be set to 1440x768 instead of the proper 2560x1440 and I always have to go to system settings to get it right.
NEC claims this may be due to cable issues and Apple using a "wrong" mini displayport standard but I have tried 4 different cable manufacturers and this is just strange.
Anybody else experiencing similar issues?

Sleep/wake Issues With Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina 13"

Dear Apple Community,
I have been recently having issues with the sleep/wake cycle of my laptop. Every time my laptop goes to sleep and I try to wake it up it gets stuck on a blank screen for 3 mins before returning to normal functionality. I have tried deleting the sleep image files and the laptop functions fine for a day and then back to the same issues. I have 3 sleep image files, 2 of them are 1.07gb each and the other one is 64mg. I have deleted them many times and they just come back with the same issues. Any help here would be appreciated. Thank You

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
Paste into the window of another application.
Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Constant/Random Sleep/Wake issues

I'm on a new 17 inch MacBook Pro and I've been having problems ever since October with waking issues. Most of the features on the MBP work completely fine until I decide to close the lid and let the mac fall asleep.
One of the random issues I receive is the inability to wake from sleep.
I open the lid hoping the mac will start up as it should, but about 70% of the time the screen stays dark while I still hear the fans and machinery within it work.
I usually have to perform a hard restart by holding down the power button to get a fully functional macbook pro again...
The second issue occurs when I am actually ABLE to wake the Macbook Pro from sleep. The mouse turns horribly unsmooth and jumpy and programs seem to work slower than they normally should.
I experience a few other random problems in addition to these wake issues, but these are basically the main ones.
The only solution I have right now is holding down the power button and performing a full restart, risking closing and deleting all previous programs I was working with...
Can somebody show me a solution to this problem?
Would a clean re-install of Leopard help? I've tried it once before but more and more new problems keep showing up...
Anyways, I hope I can get help on this subject
Thanks

Same issue with my 17". The mouse problem is very annoying. If your screen does not turn on after it has fallen asleep, I push the Screen Brightness up Function key and after about a minute or less the screen makes all the sounds like you pushed the buttons or button all at once and resumes normal functionality. If you have the sluggish mouse, I just insert a wired mouse and it moves fine. As soon as I move my finger over the trackpad the sluggishness continues, but only on the trackpad.
I hope Apple has an Update for this issue soon it happens very frequently. As a matter of fact, right before I typed this message.

MAC Mini late 2014 Sleep Wake issue

I just bought a MAC Mini late 2014 version with Yosemite pre-installed, and got a similar sleep wake problem.
It's connected to an ASUS IPS 27" screen using HDMI interface. When the Mac goes to sleep after 15 min, or when I press the button to force it to sleep.
If you type on the keyboard and the trackpad within 1 minute (before the screen also goes to sleep because of no HDMI signal), then the wake up will work.
If you wait till the screen goes to sleep also, then no matter how hard you pound on the keyboard or on the track pad, the MAC will not wake up.
The only way to wake it up is to power off the screen, then power it on again. Then type on the keyboard or move your track pad while doing that.
This is really annoying. I have to set to "Never" turn the display off to avoid this issue.
Called the Apple tech support who recommended I set up the energy saver like this below. But still could not fix the issue.
He told me to bring the Mac mini back to the shop to check.
I doubt it's a hardware issue. My theory is that this could be a software bug that somehow
the setting of "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is not in effect even if you turned it on in the power saver preference.
So, when the computer goes to sleep, there is no more HDMI signal, then the screen also goes to sleep.
And if "Prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off" is not in effect, then even if you type on the keyboard, the computer will not wake up as the screen is asleep. The screen will not wake up as no HDMI signal comes from the computer.
This turns into a viscious cycle, or a deadlock. Nobody is waking up.
This is simple logic. I don't know why systems are designed to work like that. Just too annoying....
I hope apple can fix this software bug asap.
I did try to convert my HDMI cable to min-display port and try to plug that into the thunderbolt port to see if it helps.
The same issue appears. The only difference is, with the HDMI port, once I am able to wake up the computer by power cycling my screen, i will see that I am prompted with a login screen, even if I set up my computer to auto login.
but when I use the display port, when I managed to wake up the MAC, it bypasses the login screen.

Some updates on this. I tried two other 22" screen. Both of the seems to be working fine with sleep wake, but takes between 40 sec to one min to wake up after you typed something.
Topcon hdmi 22" screen
17 sec after keystrokes to turn wake screen
40 sec to wake computer
AOC hdmi 22" screen
19 sec after keystrokes to turn wake screen
38 sec to wake computer
I tried to switch to two other HDMI cables to see if it'll improve the situation of my original ASUS VX279 IPS HDMI screen.
But it didn't. Still never wakes up after it the MAC goes to sleep until you power cycle the screen.
I guess there is some hardware compatibility issue here.
Let me bring my mac mini to the shop to see if a replacement will help.

Sleep/Wake issue

I have set up a new Nano to give to my husband for our anniversary. The manual states that a short click of the Sleep/Wake button should put the display to sleep, but the music will continue. Every time I press that button, it does go to sleep, but the music stops. The double click function works. To keep the music playing the screen must be left lit--it will dim, but any touch is going to cause some action and the battery will drain rapidly. Am I doing something wrong, or is the device defective.

Your nano is pausing playback when the screen goes dark (Either when it goes dark on its own or when you click the sleep/wake button). The reason for this is that it is not detecting your headset. You may be able to hear music, but the headset jack is not inserted enough for the nano to detect that it is there (or something is blocking the connection). Here are your three options:
Insert the headset jack harder. Most folks find that this solves their problem. If you can see ANY of the silver of the plug when it is inserted, it is NOT fully inserted. You should feel and hear a click" when it is fully inserted.
Clean out the crud in the headset port. If you have tried #1 and it just won't insert all the way, it is likely that you have crud in your headset jack. Shine a light in there. The entire inside of the jack is white, so if it looks dark down at the bottom, there is probably crud down there. You can try blowing it out or using canned air. Just understand that shoving anything else in there to clean it out will be taking your warranty into your own hands! However, I have cleaned mine out using whatever was handy and small enough to fit in there and so far so good. Your results may vary!
Take it to the Apple store. If you have really tried with 1 and 2 and it is still happening, then there might just be something up with your headset port or your headset jack. If it is the headset jack, you can look closely at that and be pretty sure if that is the problem. Try another headset to make sure. If you have worked all the way through to this point and it is still happening, it is time to take it to the Apple store.

IMac G5 Sleep/Wake Issues

Good afternoon. I am trying to diagnose an issue for a friend who has an iMac G5 1.6GHz 17-inch PowerPC running Tiger purchased in September of 2004.
When the iMac falls into sleep mode for a period of time (usually 30 minutes or longer), when attempting to wake it, the pulsating light disappears and the CPU seems to just shut down. The only way for the system to start again is to pull the power plug and put it back in. He had an iSight camera attached to it via firewire and the housing of the camera was very hot along with the back of the system. I tried removing all peripherals and the sleep process worked fine. I tried process of elimination to see if any peripherals were causing the wake issues. I had suspected the iSight camera but now, the system is doing it again without the camera being attached. I've also tried resetting the PRAM, SMC and repaired all disk permissions to no avail. I have not yet had the ability to check the LED diagnostic configuration.
Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? Much obliged if I could get some ideas from here so I can know what to expect. Does it seem like a logic board issue?
Thank you for your time.

It sounds like a power supply problem, but run Disk Utility to check the drive:
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.
See what result that produces, and please check back,

IPhone 5 sleep/wake issue - global support

I have an iPhone5 which qualifies for fixing the sleep/wake button. But I happen to be in India now - purchased the phone in the US. The local Apple support will not repair anything purchased from the US! What should I do?

Send the iPhone to a friend in the US and have them send it to the Apple Repair Service as per the US Process. Make sure that "Friend" puts his/her own return mailing address. They will receive a shipment box from Apple Support and then send the iPhone in. Your iPhone must exhibit the Power Button Problem but otherwise be working fine.

Sleep/Wake Issues - New user

I am new to the world of Mac having been a Windoze user but I am now a convert and love of all things Mac.
I do have 2 issues with regards to sleeping and waking up though, which are frustrating.
issue 1. My Mac has all of a sudden started to wake up at 1am every day, ive not asked it to and no idea whats causing it to or why its all of a sudden started to do it.
issue 2. My Mac wont go to sleep after the programmed time ive set, (15 mins) the monitor does and goes into sleep mode automatically but the Mac wont and the power light stays on (instead of flashing in sleep mode). While i have applications open (safari, itunes) none are actually in use so i assumed after 15 mins like a Windows based machine it would send itself to sleep....i have even tried closing all apps to see if it would sleep then, but still no luck.
Ive done a search on google and here to try and get answers but i cant find anything concrete and due to my lack of Mac knowledge i have to say HELP PLEASE!!
Is anyone able to assist?

thanks fro the reply
Yeah checked scheduled times already and only things is a scheduled shutdown ive set.
Whats pram?? Do i just hold the buttons down as it the machine starts up?? Any ideas what those keys would be in a normal keyboard as i dont have a mac one.....i know the windows key is the same as the apple symbol key i guess the other must be ctrl??
Any thoughts on 2? Should the machine be able to sleep automatically with programs open??

2014 MacPro External Sleep/Wake issue

It goes without saying the new MacPro requires users to invest in external drives as a means to manage large media (synonymous with MacPro brawn).
That said, I've yet to resolve an issue where putting the MacPro to sleep will not wake the external drives when waking. I was hopeful this would have been resolved when upgrading to Yosemite, but this did not happen. As it stands, I shut down the whole rig and have locked out all options to sleep the machine and/or any external media.
It's a bit inconvenient, but given the MacPro boots in twelve seconds, It's bearable.
Example:
• Any software should not be running. iPhoto or any programs sourcing the external drives cannot survive a sleep cycle.
• Choose Sleep from the Apple menu.
• Lights go off on external drive, followed by the cooling fan ~40 seconds later.
• Wake the MacPro [hitting the anykey]
• Drives appear "mounted" on the desktop, but lights & fan for external case remain dormant.
• DiskUtility cannot wake or unmount/eject volumes/device.
• Only initiating the shutdown command will the drives wake - just to shut down the MacPro.
My question is: If the system can wake the external drive as part of the shut-down process, why can it not do so for the wake process?
External Drive Case: Vantec NexStar MX
Connection Type: USB 3
Drives inclosed: 2 (3TB total)

So while still having no solution I've tried several things to solve the problem though:
I've read in some forums that dropbox might have been an issue. Uninstalled it, problem persisted.
I've also unpluged each USB cable one after the other to see if any of the USB devices caused the Problem. No result. My iMac persistantly woke up from sleep even with no USB device connected at all.
Logs show the following on each occasion:
Wake reasion: XHC1 (which apparently is USB)
The USB device BRCM20702 Hub (Port 8 of Hub at 0x14000000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
The USB device Bluetooth USB Host Controller (Port 3 of Hub at 0x14800000) may have caused a wake by issuing a remote wakeup (3)
Systemprofile tells us that:
0x14000000 i couldn't clearly identify but
0x148000000 should be "BRCM20702 Hub
Conclusion:
As no EXTERNAL USB Device caused the iMac to wake up it must either be a driver failure or someting similar within the machine or some bluetooth device. The latter is less likely as it's the third of three wake reason provided by the console.
I do not have any wired keyboard or mouse so I can't verify wether Apples wireless Keyboard & Trackpad could be an issue.

Screen Keeps Freezing & Sleep Wake issues

I have a 17" Macbook Pro and the screen keeps freezing. The computer doesnt freeze because when i depress the volume buttons i can still hear the beeps or when i hit F8 music from my itunes starts to play.
Also, 60% of the time when my computer goes to sleep I get a blank screen when i try to wake it. When this happens i have to close the screen for about 2 mins until the computer re-falls asleep. Once this happens I can then wake it up.
any ideas on the causes of these two issues?

Hello
> he told me that the laptop is pretty warm.
Probably this happens due a higher internal temperature
Did your friend already clean the notebook?
There is an interesting article here in forum about cleaning the cooling system of Toshiba notebooks:

Macbook Air late 2008 boot and sleep/wake issues

First off I have a booting issue. When I press the power button when it's off, the little front light comes on for a second, I hear the little non solid state hard drive spin up, then the little front light turns on again, but nothing else happens. The computer is definitely on since I can hear the fan, and it gets pretty hot after a while. Sometimes I'll get the startup sound and everything will be fine after a very long wait, like ~15 minutes. Second I have a wake from sleep issue that I can't predict. Every once in a while, I'll try to wake the computer and the screen just stays blank, not doing anything. The light in the front stops pulsing and just stays solid, but the screen doesn't turn on. I've noticed that sometimes I can predict when these things will happen since before I shut it down or put it to sleep, the battery will be X'd out, saying I have no battery connected, even when I'm not connected to a power source. I've already tried resetting the power management and resetting the PRAM. This is a very annoying issue and makes the computer very unreliable. Has anyone had similar issues or has been able to come to a solution?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the hard drive does not appear in the DU sidebar list then it has died and will have to be replaced. No need to proceed beyond this point.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Sleep/Wake issues

Has anybody else having dificulty with their MBP not sleeping and/or waking up on its own with the cover closed. I've done all the usual things, including resetting the PMU (or whatever it is now called on the MBP's) and I'm still unable to figure out what is going on. Bluetooth is set to NOT wake up the computer, no USB connections. I'm literally talking about it being asleep when I put it in my bag and then taking it out later with it very hot and a dead battery.
I've heard rumor that this can require a new logic board. I hope not. Suggestions appreciated.
