No wake from sleep with upgrade to 10.10.3

I recently upgraded a new iMac Retina 5K to Yosemite 10.10.3. Since the upgrade, the iMac will no longer wake from sleep. The screen remains black. I have to hold the power button for several seconds to reboot the machine. I am using the standard Bluetooth keyboard and Trackpad.
I have tried reseting the SMC, PRAM, and booting into Safe Mode (none of which fixed the problem). I know I can turn sleep off via Energy Saver, but my workflow makes using sleep a better option for me.
I looked in the system logs and find a dozen of the following messages after I try to wake from sleep:
Apr 12 12:10:12 iMac kernel[0]: **** [IOBluetoothHCIController][TransferACLPacketToHW] -- commandSleep(&mSystemOnTheWayWakingUp) failed -- counter = 1 ****
Apr 12 12:10:22 iMac kernel[0]: **** [IOBluetoothHCIController][TransferACLPacketToHW] -- commandSleep(&mSystemOnTheWayWakingUp) failed -- counter = 2 ****
Apr 12 12:10:32 iMac kernel[0]: **** [IOBluetoothHCIController][TransferACLPacketToHW] -- commandSleep(&mSystemOnTheWayWakingUp) failed -- counter = 3 ****

Apr 12 12:11:02 iMac kernel[0]: **** [IOBluetoothHCIController][TransferACLPacketToHW] -- commandSleep(&mSystemOnTheWayWakingUp) failed -- counter = 6 ****
Anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading Additional troubleshooting. If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Also note that if you replaced the internal hard drive with an SSD, or if you're starting up from an external SSD, then that device may be causing the problem. Check the SSD manufacturer's website for a firmware update. The only solution may be to reinstall the original drive or avoid sleep altogether.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
Step 5
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Step 6
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down.
You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • T410 fails to wake from sleep with 2nd Hard drive installed?

    Ever since I've installed a second hard drive in my T410, a Hitachi 250GB drive, my machine fails to wake from sleep (sometimes)... Then I have to do a hard reset.
    I had the same problem without the 2nd drive when I tried to use the HD Password in the BIOS and found out that it was something to do with the Crucial M4 drive I'm using. But this same problem is now happening ever since using the 2nd drive slot.
    Any ideas? I really like the extra storage space and don't want to remove it based on this problem.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well it seems the problem was caused by the firmware version for the SSD I've installed.
    The problem was resolved by updating the Crucial M4 SSD with the latest firmware.....
    ......and It solved the HD1 password issue too.

  • MBP Wakes From Sleep With Lid Shut

    My MacBook Pro (only about 1 1/2 months old) wakes from sleep while the lid is shut. I close the lid to put the computer in sleep mode and wait until it has fully entered sleep mode (the white light pulsates). If I then pick the computer up and rotate it some, more often than not it sounds as if the hard drive kicks back on and the apple logo on the top of the screen briefly illuminates. Sometimes I have even noticed that the screen will illuminate; however, the most consistent things I've noticed are the hard drive and logo. This is all while the lid is still closed.
    I spent around 1 1/2 hours on the phone with Apple support yesterday with no result. I thought I would see if anyone has an explanation or idea here before I send the computer off to Apple.

    Hi again,
    your statements that the workaround does not "work around"
    on your machines confuses me a bit. It looks like the changes
    in the com.apple.PowerManagement file don't produce the desired
    effect.
    First question: Did you restart your computers after having
    applied the changes ? If not, try this first.
    Can it depend on the model of MBP (I have the new Santa Rosa) ?

    And - I checked it just a minute ago - i works ! My MBP
    goes to sleep when lid is shut and does NOT wake, when I
    open the lid. After pressing a key, it comes to life again.
    Regards,
    Robert
    P.S. Please have a look at the files in the
    Library/Preferences/System Configuration Folder.
    Is there only one file for Energy preferences or
    did your system create another one, when you tried
    to change settings via System Preferences ? I saw
    this one time a few weeks ago, but I don't know
    the exact conditions under which that happened.

  • Mac Mini distored image on wake from sleep with HD TV

    I've got a Mac Mini that does this when it wakes from sleep:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlqYc8qH7ps
    The image is distorted for several minutes and eventually corrects itself. It happened in 10.6 and now happens in 10.7, it's actually worse in 10.7
    The Mini is connected to a Vizio 55" LED LCD TV via HDMI. I've had the logic board replaced twice and the RAM has also been replaced.
    If I change the resolution setting it also fixes the image.
    I was able to test it on another TV also a Vizio but different model. That was in 10.6 and the problem happened there too.
    Once the image is fixed it runs fine. Though I do find that movies play a little stutteringly particularly noticeable via slow pans but that may not be related to this issue.

  • IMac wakes from sleep with a black screen.

    Twice since installing Yosemite, my iMac has woken from Sleep with a completely black screen. I can see a small Apple menu logo top left and the login button but I have no control from the keyboard, trackpad or mouse.
    The only remedy is to switch off the power and restart, which I should not be doing.
    Is there a link to send a report to Apple on this?
    Thanks.

  • MBP won't wake from sleep with lid down

    This has been happening ever since the installation of 10.8.2. i can put my MBP to sleep and leave the lid open, and it will wake without issue. but, if i put it to sleep and then close the lid, the next morning, it will not wake.
    when i open the lid, the white "sleep" light goes away, but the display is still black. my only recourse is to force shut down and restart.
    has anyone else experienced this?

    Does this problem still exist in the newer versions of the OWC firmware?
    While my SSD is not an OWC, I've been having this issue with my OCZ Vertex 2, also based on the Sandforce chip.
    OCZ's most recent firmware (1.32) has fixed the issues related to hibernation (i.e. "safe-sleep") but the drive still has issues waking from timed inactivity sleep.
    I wrote about it on their support forums in this thread:
    http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?86538-Hibernation-works-b ut-wake-from-auto-timer-sleep-problem-still-present-in-1.32
    One of their support staff (who has been very helpful in ironing out the hibernation problems) replied with:
    "I can tell you this new FW build has been fully validated by Apple at their labs, it may be possible your machine while fine with hdd may have an issue with newer ssd...or the line of macbooks with this issue are looking now for an efi update.
    I will pass this back to SF but I suggest you also contact Apple and ask if a new EFI update is coming."
    While my machine doesn't often sleep due to inactivity, it does happen. I am not a fan of the suggestion to set inactivity sleep to never. While this is a way around the problem, I don't consider it a solution—I would like the security of knowing that if I ever walked away from my machine on battery power for a few hours, I would be able to return to something that hasn't completely drained itself of battery.

  • IMac wakes from sleep with a key stuck

    I routinely wake up my computers from sleep by pressing a modifier key like shift, command, etc; these keys don't generally cause actions in whatever software is running so they make good "wakeup" buttons.
    I recently got a new 20" aluminum iMac, which I love, but it seems that once in a while a key gets stuck. The shortcut menu appears when I try to click on something, or text will get selected, or everything acts like I'm right-clicking. If I do a quick run through all the modifier keys, the problem goes away until the next time I wake the machine. So since getting the new iMac, my routine was changed to pressing a modifier key, waiting till the machine wakes up, then pressing all of the modifier keys.
    I discovered today that what's happening is, when I do my regular wake-up thing, whatever key I pressed while the machine was sleeping gets stuck until the next time it's pressed. It's like the key press message is getting to the machine, but the release is ignored while the computer is in the process of waking up. It thinks I'm still holding that particular key down. So now what I do is press one key, then press it again when the computer's awake.
    The problem only occurs when the machine goes to sleep due to inactivity. I can't reproduce it by invoking sleep from the Apple menu or the keyboard shortcut.
    This never happens on my Core Duo iMac or on my MacBook Pro. It does, however, happen every time on this machine whether I use the included aluminum keyboard or the old white keyboard.
    I just got the idea of holding down the the shift, control, or whatever key, until the machine has fully recovered from sleep. I will post further if anything interesting happens when I try it.
    I'd like to get things back to the way they were before though (except I want the new iMac to stay of course!). Any ideas?

    If I wake the computer by pressing, for example, control; then wait for the system to recover before releasing it, everything's fine.
    It looks like the computer is just not aware of USB activity during the waking process.
    Does this happen to anyone else, or is it just me?
    I did install the EFI updates last week too. I was kind of excited to see them because I figured they'd noticed the problem and fixed it, but it had no effect.
    Re the TIL article above, this appears to pertain only to portables. Is it also something that works on iMacs?

  • MacBook Pro spontaneously wakes from sleep after upgrading to Leopard?

    For some reason, after I upgraded to Leopard, then whenever I put my MacBook Pro to sleep, it spontaneously wakes up after some time (can be from a few minutes to an hour or two.) I don't know why this is happening, but I know for sure that it's related to Leopard since I put my laptop to sleep every night (it's in my bedroom) and after upgrading to Leopard, it started to just wake up a short while after putting it to sleep.
    At first I thought it could be Time Machine, so I disconnected all my external drives, but that didn't seem to work.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same issue. Installed Leopard last night on my first-gen 1.83 MacBook. The next morning the Mac was a little slow in wanting to wake up. After that it stalled on transferring a large file from my G5 and I had to issue a reboot command via the shell to get it out of that. A few minutes later the computer locked up when trying to apple > tab through the application.
    I put it to sleep after restarting the Mac from that freeze. A while later while walking out of the house I happened to glance at the Macbook and saw the apple glowing while the lid was shut and then it went back to sleep.
    Tonight I put the Macbook to sleep on the way out to dinner. I noted that I had 84% of my battery left. A few hours later when I got home the MB was warm, the apple was glowing and I had 9% of my battery left.
    Looks like there is some work to be done asap for 10.5.1

  • My iMac G5 won't wake from sleep with a wired keyboard or wired mouse

    My iMac just started having a problem in sleep mode. Whether I put it to sleep or it goes to sleep on its own, it is shutting down completely and I must use the power button to get it up and running again. It has just started this for the last few days....maybe a week now. I am not using the bluetooth so its not the lack of communication between keyboard and/or mouse and computer. Don't really know what is going on but am getting tired of restarting throughout the day. I usually leave my computer on all day and manually put to sleep at night. I was hitting the space bar to wake and now I must restart with the power button. Any suggestions or solutions???

    Have you reset the SMU and the PRAM? Try deleting the System Preferences .plist in User>Library>Preferences>com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Please post back with results,

  • T430s intermittently wakes from sleep with a black screen

    and since you can't see anything, you have to force a power down and lose whatever you're working on.  It's almost like the back light is out, but its not.  Its just a sold black screen.  When I hook it up to an external monitor - which it is most of the time - that screen just displays the black screen.
    This laptop has the nvidia gpu.  I've uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled, switched between gpus, and I'm at a loss.  Any suggestions?

    > during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
    All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something.  You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape.  If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar.  This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar.  Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed.  If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present.  When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?

  • Probelm With EArly 2008 8-core Mac Pro on Wake From Sleep

    Well, after more than a year of being a flawless machine, I am now starting to have trouble with my 8-core 2.8 GHz Mac Pro purchased in January of 2008. A few days ago I noticed that when I woke the Mac Pro from sleep, the desktop came up momentarily, and then the screen went went black after a second or less. The power light on the front of the Mac Pro was still burning brightly, but I could not do anything but do a power button forced reboot. I did so, and the machine booted up to a blue screen, but would proceed no further. I then did a second power button forced reboot. The Mac Pro then booted up perfectly this time and all was well.
    However, I have noticed since then that often when I wake the Mac Pro up from sleep, the desktop comes up and everything looks normal, but I have absolutely no ability to do anything. I can move the cursor on the screen but clicking the mouse on anything (menu items, icons, etc.) does nothing. I cannot do anything but a forced reboot to regain control of the machine.
    I have booted from my drive that has the clone of the OS perfectly with no problems. I have used disk utility to check the Mac's main boot drive and all checks out fine. I have repaired permissions. I have reset the SMC, but nothing has helped. This morning when I went to wake up the Mac Pro, the desktop came up, but absolutely nothing was operative. Mouse cursor moved on the screen, but I could not get any menu item or icon to respond when I clicked on it. I did a power button reboot and the machine is working again, but every time I do one of these power button reboots Time Machine takes 15-20 minutes to prepare and do its backup. Clearly something is wrong, but short of never putting my Mac Pro to sleep again I am out of ideas as to what to do next.
    For over a year I have been using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse, but I don't know if this is involved in the wake from sleep problem or not. I should add that this keyboard/mouse combination has never previously given any trouble at all.
    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that anyone may have.

    Glad to hear you were already using SuperDuper and (use to) use Disk Warrior.
    Can't be rushed. Take a look at how long it takes Micromat and SoftRAID to update their products to get a ballpark idea of time and work to have compatible versions. Or do like others, wait for "SP1" or a year, wait for Adobe and others to be ready before fully supporting.
    The best time to upgrade to (Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, and now Leopard) is a year out, even when the product is at its end release-point, not when it is just 1.0.
    Minor but things First Aid misses, and can mean all the difference in the world. Major is bad enough that after recovering files you need, you should reformat and restore due to keys out of order, overlapped extents, corrupt journal (there is a tip about turning journaling off and back on to fix some problems).
    I would wait for Disk Warrior (4.1.1) before upgrading to Leopard, rather than the other way around.
    Alsoft can't work on an update until they have in their hands a stable and released version. And Disk Utility does and has changed during the last 18 months.
    Apple is in the habit and you will find that developers are left in the dark during the last stage. Then 10.5.0 had too many bugs and problems. 10.5.2 was stable-ish, and changed the "rules of the game." 10.5.6 has had a few wrinkles of its own.
    Apple warns to NOT use older versions of its own Leopard Disk Utility with the latest (10.5.6) when it comes to repairing permissions (see MacFixit).

  • After Lion upgrade, MacBookPro has trouble wake from sleep.

    After Lion upgrade, my Macbook Pro now sometimes will not wake from sleep.  If I close the lid the pulsating light pulsates. Open the lid and the pulsating light goes out and the keyboard backlight activate, screen blank and no keyboard response.

    I've been looking for answers, since upgrading to lion, my problem is more of a nusance, when I close the lid on my macbook pro (15" 2.66 i7, 8GB RAM) and it goes into sleep mode, when I reopen the screen the screen backlight comes up momentarily, then goes black (screen image there, just no backlighting) nothing gets it to come out (reclose/open, clicking trackpad, any keys, etc.) except the F1 key.  Pushing the F1 "wakes" the backlighting, then I just hit the F2 to brighten it back up, I don't have any further issues until I close it again.  Granted not that big of a deal given all the issues everyone else is having with this, but still a nusance I would like to fix.  Don't know if this will work for you, but it's been working for me.
    I have the same problem with my MBP 17"
    Would have been nice if Apple had taken the time to respond.

  • How to wake from sleep only with power button

    Hi,
    I still use this old PowerMac G4 (hopefully Apple builds a new MacPro soon!) and when not using it, it is  in sleep mode.
    Unfortunately my cats like to touch the keyboard, thus waking up my Mac.
    Is it possible to wake the mac only by pressing the power button?
    If so, how?

    The USB bus is unique from other buses in that it always has power present to it.
    Because of this, it can be used to sense activity at a keyboard or other input device to facilitate wake from sleep.
    The power button also always has power present, with the main purpose of on and off being extended to options for sleep and wake. This is possible due to the use of a momentary contact switch, with fuction that can be interpreted (time held) for various purposes via software.
    why the action on the USB bus has to be a keyboard inpput, but not a mouse click. strange.
    Mouse click should also wake the machine if the mouse is USB. If Bluetooth, an option must be selected in the software, and then not all mice are equal.
    If wireless, then, again, not all are equal. Some will wake a machine, others won't.

  • My elderly iMac (about six years old) won't wake from sleep after an electrical failure today, and starts up with a black screen.

    This Intel iMac is about six years old, has had the motherboard replaced by Apple.  Today we had an electrical failure, and it was asleep at the time.  It refused to wake from sleep, and it seems to start up, but the screen stays black.  I tried zapping the PRAM, shutting it down and turning off the surge protector, etc. . .  and still, nothing.  Any thoughts?

    If http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) does not work and you are comfortable working in the Terminal, try the following:
    Enter into the Terminal the following: sudo pmset autopoweroff 0 and sudo pmset standby 0
    If you like the hibernation, you can switch it back on by re-entering the commands with 1's instead of 0's. You can even change the amount of time by adjusting "autopoweroffdelay" and "standbydelay".
