Not going to sleep after battery depletion, just crashing

My Blackbook had some intermittent battery issues last week, so I got a new battery. The new battery allowed the battery meter to start functioning properly again, but it still doesn't go to sleep when the battery is completely depleted, it just crashes hard.
I have already reset the SMC firmware, is there anything else I can do to try and solve this issue, or does it have to go to an Apple store? Would they have to replace the logic board in order to fix this issue? I'm sure hoping not, as I know that's a $300+ job.

  • MacBook pro 13 mid '09 not going to sleep after the selected period

    Hi i am kinda new to this so i don't know if I am doing this right. Well this is the problem, when i leave the mbp on it's own for a while it doesn't go to sleep after the designated period of time. The laptop goes to sleep when the lid is closed and i have tried the usuals such as resetting the PRAM, restarting, restoring the default sleep times etc. I know this is not a major problem and I probably wasting your time and I'm sorry but it's just one of those annoying things!
    Thanks in advance!

    Is this a new Apple battery? If so bring it to an Apple store for evaluation and probable replacement.  If it is a third party battery, it may be suspect.
    Ciao.

  • No sleep after battery depletion

    Hello guys!
    I have an MBR from 2006. In the last time I noticed that when battery reach about 10% my computer is turned off without any warning. Today was the second time.
    It's my battery (I still have the original battery) or as I read in one of the posts I should reset SMC?
    thanks!

    You could try an SMC reset, hirohito, but if this is the original battery in your MBP then it is almost certainly just getting too old to function properly under load. Take it to an Apple Store or authorised service provider and get it tested.
    The internal resistance of Lithium batteries increases with age (and to a lesser extent with use). When the resistance increases to a certain level it is no longer able to deliver power at the expected rate. Once this occurs you will experience unexpected shutdowns instead of the computer going through the normal sleep processes. The computer may also start to shut down suddenly, even with lots of charge left, if you use it for any CPU intensive activity such as rendering video, or even possibly watching a "Flash" based movie on the internet.
    Many users have found that with the batteries in the pre-unibody MBPs they are lucky if they can get two years of life out of them. You have done well to have yours continuing to behave for as long as it has!
    Cheers

  • Not going to sleep after Leopard?

    I never had any problem getting my computer to sleep with Tiger, but there seems to be a persistent problem since I installed Leopard. I think it's taking a long time to go to sleep when I close the lid. I've noticed that if I close the lid on, say, an 80% battery charge I'll come back and open the lid to find the battery drop to 50%!. Also, if I close the lid on anything less than about 20% battery I'll come back to find the computer unable to wake. I'll have to plug it in and restart, I'll get an OSX Unexpectedly Quit dialog on startup and find the battery at 0%. My battery is *brand new* and works fine when awake. What's wrong?

  • MBP 2010 13'' completely freezing when loading from sleep after battery drain

    Hi all,
    Ever since upgrading do Mountain Lion, everytime my MBP 2010 13'' goes to sleep after battery drainage, it freezes in the last "dash" of the waking up process. Furthermore I noticed that the background during wake up is not my dimmed desktop anymore as it used to be on Lion, it is the Apple logo on a white background (similar to Power up screen). I experience no other freezing stated by the community that are attributed to ML, iTunes or Safari, only this one when recovering from sleep. This last time I waited a couple of hours before power down, only resulting in abnormal heating. Already tried fully charge, fully recharge, reboot, cmd+opt+p+r, ... Anyone has this? Is it a known problem being somehow addressed by Apple? Thanks in advance!

    So can anyone tell me how can I open an issue on this for Apple? Thanks.

  • TS4080 apple thunderbolt display image on display intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys. Rebooting by pressing the power button resolves issue.

    My apple thunderbolt display (which I purchased 1.5 years ago; OS 10.7.5 Mac Mini) intermittently goes dark, does not wake from sleep after clicking mouse or keyboard, but there is "bonk" sound after clicking mouse or pressing keys, so am thinking it is a hardware problem with the display. Rebooting by pressing the power button turns the screen back on, but the same phenomenon has occurred several times. Could this be a software issue, or do I need to have my display repaired? Your feedback would be appreciated.

    Hi ED, tough to tell, but it does sound like it's waking with the bonk, just not displaying.
    Long shot but...
    I wonder if it's a variation of this, of which I've seen many different symptoms...
    Resolution
    Move the mouse or trackpad cursor over the center area of the login window so you can see the user icons. Click on the icon of the user that you would like to login as, type in the user's password, and press Return.
    If the login window is configured to show only the name and password fields, type in the user's name and password into the fields, and press Return (even if you cannot see the rest of the login window).
    Additional Information
    This issue will not occur if the display is not sleeping when the account is logged out. Use the steps below to confirm that the account is not configured to log out automatically while the display is sleeping:
        1.    Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
        2.    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • PC is not going to sleep or shut down after upgrade to Windows10

    Hello,I upgraded my laptop from win 8.1 to win 10.Now when I close the lid or press the power button, the computer turns the screen off, turns the WIFI off, no more hard disk activity but it is not going to sleep.Also when I shut it down it goes throught the same procedure but never turns off.To start again, I have to keep pressing the power button to turn it off, then turn it on again.I did the powercfg - energy and got this in the report, "USB Suspend:USB Device not Entering Selective Suspend"When the computer had just started, I don't get that message, it also goes to sleep and shuts down normally, while later, I get this message in the report and no longer sleeps or shuts down.Any suggestion ??Thanks

  • Just Updated to 10.5.2 on Feb 10, 2008, Display not going to sleep anymore

    Greetings:
    I am running on a Macintosh G4 Graphite (which has been heavily upgraded to a G4 1.8 Ghz processor (Sonnet Tech Encore) and it has 1 GB RAM and an upgraded ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition video card). Under 10.4 -10.5.1 everything worked fine.
    I have my Power management settings set to put the display to sleep every 30 mintues and changed to 3 mins to check if something else was up.. but the display is definitely NOT going to sleep any more.
    Any thoughts and is anyone else having this issue?
    I have not yet trashed the preferences file, mainly because I am not sure where it lives.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hello All Again:
    Just wanted to update you on how I fixed the problem. Not sure what specifically in the combination fixed it, but it does now work
    First I opened System Prefs > Energy Saver and hit the set to defaults button. I then exited System Prefs.
    I then went into Terminal and ran pmset displaysleep 30 and exited terminal.
    Lastly, I went into System Prefs > Energy Saver and selected 3 minutes. Exited System Prefs and waited and lo and behold it worked. So I rebooted my system and then set the timer back to 30 mins and it has been working again so far.
    I suspect that the pmset from terminal may have refreshed something in the prefs file someplace, but again it was just something in that string of things I did that worked.

  • IPod not going to sleep correctly

    Hi there,
    I am having an issue with my iPod 5G not going to sleep correctly. When I select the "Sleep" function on the menu screen the iPod with stop responding to the wheel, as per normal, BUT the screen only fades and does not blank itself completely. I can still see the menu items.
    Is this right? I though the screen blanks completely, to save on battery power.
    Advice and thoughts needed...cheers

    Hi, I have managed to change the battery of my Ipod
    mini, but still after the Ipod is fully charged the
    battery life still lasts only a few hours....
    My assumption after reading all the technical
    documents, is that even though the Ipod mini appears
    to go to sleep (either by itself or after the play /
    pause) button is pressed for a few seconds, that in
    fact the Ipod isn't a sleep and the battery runs
    down....
    I have updated to the latest 1.4.1. software... only
    recently happened, and replaced the battery (but
    perhaps it didn't need it).
    And it's 14 months old so out of warranty...
    Does anyone know of issues with sleep mode not
    working correctly? Is there a software fix for
    this????
    Cheers
    I think I'm having the same problem - let me know if you find an answer and likewise I'll do the same. Is going to sleep the same as turning off? Mine doesn't even turn off when I press down the play/pause button!

  • MacBook not going to sleep when connected to WiFi

    Hi there,
    my MacBook 3,1 is not going to sleep as long as it is connected to WiFi.
    It starts the process of going to sleep as my VNC connection gets dropped but it stays awake. I can easily reconnect.
    Everthing else is working fine. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm facing the same syptom. I tried many things and now havw to live with putting the MacBook to slee by hand. I had some other issues just before that:
    1: The MB returned randomly from sleep while being closed. That was annoying. I think it was fixed after installing smart sleep and doing some cleanup in the preference files.
    2: Then I was put "randomly" to sleep. I figured that came from overheating the processor (thus I'm gld it went to sleep). The fan speed control was set to constantly 2000 rpm. Installing fanControl helped.
    3: Lid closing did not init the sleep mode and the backlight is not turning off. Niether does it wake up on opening when I put it io sleep manually (I have to press a key).
    The sensor for closing the lid seems to work, if it is the same which controls the maximum brightnes of the sleep indicator light (pulsing). It is darker when the lid is closed.
    I wonder if there is some settings tool.
    Besides I think the issues started after the Software updates around 12th of dec. 2008, with MacOS10.5.6 and the EFI & SMC firmware updates.
    I'm eager to get answers.
    Kid regards, Ralf.

  • Computer not going to sleep when lid closed

    My wife's new MacBook Air has a couple of problems we can't figure out.  First sometimes the computer is not going to sleep when lid is closed and when we lift the lid everything is frozen.
    Second, the user Library folder is not seeable in her user account.  I know it's there because on the side bar there's a short cut to Preferences folder which we can open.
    Strange behavior.
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Ron,
    The user library folder (~/Library/) is hidden by default in Lion. I assume Apple doesn't want people mucking around with the sensitive files in there. So this is normal behavior.
    As for the freezing issue, I would suggest you reset your power management and perform a safe boot to clear out caches. You should also see if the issue persists after disconnecting USB perhipherals.
    Here's how:
    Power Management:
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    Safe Boot:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

  • HP pavilion/dm4 goes to sleep after 1 minute--it's a drag!

    I've checked my control panel settings and then the advanced settings (for notification icons--which doesn't apply to this problem).
    What ever I set, I'm working at my computer and screen always goes to sleep 1 minute after if I don't touch the keyboard.
    What am I not getting. I need at least 5 minutes or so before it should go to sleep. My computer at the office only goes to sleep after I make it.
    Thanks.

    My COMPUTER goes to sleep and disrupts my apple tv all the time. How can I fix this?

    That you are getting the BONG is a good sign, it's unlikely to be hardware if you are able to hear that.
    Start by running SW update. It's not that there is a specific fix, but when updating it may rewrite some system files which may get this going again purely as a side affect. Worth a go, and should not harm the system.
    Try reset the PRAM - Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    Hopefully one of these quick fixes works, otherwise we'll need to try isolate the issue next - so if still having a problem, I'd try create a new user and login as that user to see if the issue persists (which will tell us if it's system wide or user specific)

  • Computer hanging on closing lid and not going to sleep, indicator does not blink

    i have a 1 month old Macbook Pro 13" i5 with 4Gb memory.
    when i am closing the lid the computer is not going to sleep, hard drive continues to spin and power indicator does not blink and it remains solid.
    on opening the lid again screen keep blank and does not show anything while i can hear spinning of hard drive. than i have to forcefully shut off the computer by pressing power key and than computer starts after that.
    Apple support told me to press shift+control+option+power and than start computer, it fixed the problem only once and they told me to do it again when it comes again. but write now i am getting it everytime.

    Hi guys -
    First off make sure you don't have 'Wake for ethernet access...' enabled in System Preferences/Energy Saver/Options - I'd also run Disc Utility and repair your permissions as well. OS X requires 'maintenance routines' to be performed on a certain basis and you can use this free application to help you with that...Onyx.
    Check the obvious as well - that you don't have any applications that might keep your Macbook awake ...some printer utilities do this for example.
    After all this shut down and restart and hopefully things will be better - if not, there may be a chance that the mechanical parts that put your computer to sleep may be at fault ...and you'll need to visit an Apple dealer to verify this.
    Hope some of this helps.

  • I have a Ipad 2 w/ iOS 7 it goes to sleep after about 2-3 minutes.Why?

    I have a Ipad 2 w/ iOS 7 it goes to sleep after about 2-3 minutes.Why?

    If it's been inactive and you have it set in settings to shut down after a certain period of time, it will.
    Try going into settings and changing this to your preference. If this is not the issue, adjust the settings anyways, then put back how you prefer. Sometimes  turning a setting off, then back on can help
    Aside from this you can do a restart. Press and hold the home and sleep button at same time until the apple logo appears. Or in settings > Reset> Reset all.
