MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

Hi,
My MacBook Air(Mid 2012) can't wake up after sleep. I recently updated operation system to Mac OS X Mavericks and now after sleep mode screen goes black and nothing happens after this. Only thing that I could do is hard reboot by pressing power button and boot again. Do anyone have the same issue and suggestions how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
Dmitrii

Same thing here. MBA 2011 working perfectly until I updated to Mavericks.
It often doesn't wake up fully. It does draw the password input box but there's no text cursor and no input is possible. The mouse cursor is not visible either. Waiting does nothing (tried ~15 minutes, no change). Closing the lid does not put the laptop back to sleep, it's fully frozen and the only way out is a reboot by holding the power button.

Non retina 15" MBP will not wake up after sleep following mountain lion upgrade

I have an early 2012 15" 2.2 MBP with the 4gb video card. since upgrading to ML a lengthy sleep renders it unresponsive. it will not wake up and will have to be force shut down, then restarted to use. you can here the hard drive spin up after a long sleep (6-8 hours) but only after you hit the power button. even so it's completely unresponsive until restarted.. i noticed apple released an update for retina MBPs for the same issue. unfortunately they have not released the same update for non retina users yet.

Since you had NO problems before ML upgrade:
Not to side with the tech or you, because upgrading OS can be frustrating (it shouldn't).
It appears that you need to do a reinstall (backup first). Its pretty simple to reinstall, just go to boot drive and reinstall. You'll probably have to reinstall print drivers, other than that it's pretty straight forward.
A couple of things I'd do before and after reinstall is to repair the disk (3 times each) while in the boot drive. Then once completed choose the startup disk in system preferences or at least verify it's the startup disk, then repair permissions. If you add apps or printer drivers repair permissions again.
A major problem for lots of folks updating to a new OS is they don't think about disk health....And that's why it's important to insure everything is in mint condition before upgrading to a new OS. The same reason many choose to do a FRESH install of a new OS, by zeroing out the HDD (or SSD) and then repairing the disk and then installing the new OS (you MUST have a solid backup before doing so).
I always have at least 2 solid backups before doing so, but that's me. 100% of the time I do a fresh install of a new OS.
I have a spare computer I use as a test machine for a week or so by upgrading without fresh install. After figuring out all the possible bugs with the test machine I do a clean install of my other computers and once there stable I do a fresh install of the upgraded one.
Not a lecture on how to do things just my procedure which has served me over the years without any problems.
I have photos, videos, documents, and financial records dating back to 1991 so I must be doing something right.

HP P1102w printer will not wake up after sleep (wireless setup, win8)

Bought this printer a month ago. I have no problem with both LAN +Wireless setup.
Windows8 OS
I noticed once the printer is not on (goes to sleep), it will not wake up by itself.
According to manual, if I send a print job, it should wake up by itself.
Currently, this is what I need to do.
I need to physically turn off and turn on the printer, wait for 10-15 seconds until the wifi blue light is solid (no blinking)
and then send my print job, and it will work
Just wondering whether HP has a solution to this, thanks
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Is HP ever going to fix / address this issue?
People Running the latest firmware - 20130703
And there is no option to disable Sleep mode. The max you can set it to is 1 hour.
The power physically / manually has to be powered back on, to establish IP connectivity.
This has been an issue for 2 years now!!! Come on what does it take to get an update?
Seriously?

My Mac Pro (8-core) does not wake up after sleep

The most times my mac pro goes to sleep he won't wake up on hitting the keyboard or the power button. There is some noise as if the harddisc is waking up but the screen stays dark and the power light which first lightens up and down like in sleep modus is fully lightened. I have to make an improper shutdown.

Has anyone an idea what can be the cause for this behaviour?

Yesterday when I started up my Mac Pro I noticed that it sure seemed loud. I normally never shut it off, so I hadn't noticed that it was getting pretty loud. Then, for the first time since I've been having the wake up problem, it went to sleep as I was surfing the web. This time instead of just shutting it off and restarting, I decided to reset the SMC. I then figured since I had everything disconnected I'd take a look at the GPU and clean the dust out of it. After vacuuming, being real careful to not fry anything with static, I put it into a different slot than before. Plugged everything back in and started it up. First thing I noticed was the volume of the GPU fan was much quieter than it has ever been, no joke. I haven't shut it off in almost 24 hours and it hasn't gone to sleep at all. I've read other posts on the net that claimed the SMC reset and moving the card to a different slot didn't fix the problem for very long, so I'm hoping that isn't what fixed it. I'm hoping it was just dirty, as I have already had to replace 2 GPU's in 2 years and I can find many other things to spend money on. Now more than ever since the only card I'd want that Apple offers is $460. I hope this helps you, and me for that matter.

My MacPro will not wake up from sleep after the 10.8.2 upgrade.

Since latest os upgrade to 10.8.2, my mac will not wake up from sleep.

Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. The purpose of this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iMac will not wake up from sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

After upgrading to OS X, my iMac will not wake up from sleep. Each time I have to do a hard restart. Is there a fix for this problem?

Hi,
I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking. It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

T400 does NOT wake up after going to sleep

T400 does not wake up after going into sleep. It goes to sleep ok but everytime wheni try to wake it, it restart the whole system instead of waking up.
I have checked the BIOS Security setting and it already set on Active. All drivers are upto date.
Please help!!

I have a similar issue with a T400 (xp sp2).

ARD 3.3 Will not Wake Machine After Long Sleep

We are using ARD 3.3 on our network. We have found that ARD will not wake machines after they have gone to sleep and stayed in that state overnight. If I manually wake the machine and put it to sleep, it works fine. If I wake the machine and put it to sleep for several hours, it still works fine. The problem is completely random and only seems to happen when the machines have been asleep overnight. There are three machines this occurs with, I will describe each one below. I have a sneaky suspicion that it is our Firewall appliance causing the problem, but would appreciate any other input...
Machine #1
Intel Imac 2.8Ghz core-duo
OS X 10.5.8
4GB 667mhz DDR2 SDRAM
Problem: Occurs 98% of the time and is very consistent on this machine
Machine #2
PPC G5 Imac 1.9Ghz
OS X 10.4.11
1.5GB SDRAM
Problem occurs about once a week to once every other week with this machine
Machine #3
Intel Imac 2Ghz Core Duo
Mac OS X 10.5.8
2GB 1067Mhz DDR3
Problem occurs once in a blue moon
I have tried the following troubleshooting steps with machine #1 because it seems to have the problem so much...
1. Tried another user account
2. Tried removing power management plist located in HD --> Library --> Preferences --> Systemconfig
3. Tried resetting the SMU
4. Tried to repair disk permissions
5. Ran FSCK -FY from single user mode
6. Ran AHT for 17 hours straight with no errors
7. Booted to clean install of OS on external FW drive with user ported to FW drive.
BTW: Our firewall appliance is an Snapgear SG560 with the latest firmware.
Thanks for any input much appreciated...

I cannot wake up any computers even if asleep for a few seconds. ARD 3.3 has broken a lot of features such as copying files by dragging from a remote connection to desktop and it no longer reports Current Status correctly.
AWFUL update. Apple please fix this or explain how to downgrade to 3.2
I can no longer use this in the school where I supervise 50 Macs.

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.

Quicksilver doesn't wake up after sleep

Recently (over the past month or so) my Quicksilver G4/733 has developed a problem where it sometimes (about 20% of the time) will not wake up after going to sleep. Tapping on the keyboard to wake up, for example, results in no reaction from the computer other than my FireWire DVD burner clicking a few times. Using the power button to wake up causes the button to glow and fade out with no other reaction from the computer (except the FireWire drive).
To get the computer to start up again, I cut the power for about a minute (usually by turning off my power strip) and then attempt to start up. If I only cut power for a few seconds, the computer exhibits the same unresponsive behavior.
I have not upgraded my hardware or system (other than automatic Software Update) or installed any applications in the past few months.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Quicksilver G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 512 MB RAM, 120 GB + 80 GB HDs, SoundSticks, Keyspan Remote, LaCie DVD burner

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-all
press Return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

Memory RAM upgrade won't wake up after sleep mode

i just recently purchase a pair 16GB RAM of crucial CT2K8G3S160BM for newegg.com. Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.
CT102464BF160B 16GB and mine is CT2K8G3S160BM are this 2 same? but both same spec.

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.

Maverick will not wake up from sleep

Maverick will not wake up from sleep. i dont see any related issues. maybe i am the only one? Ive been trying to run maverick for the last 2 months. I thought everything was fine after I erased, reformated and partitioned the HD and installed Maverick on a clean drive...... and then i get the ? startup disk. And then when it does run, I cant let it go to sleep. It will not wake up from sleep. I get the spinning beach ball of death everytime. I leave my computer on and run to the grocery store and come back........ I have to shut my computer off from the control strip and push the start button, every time.
Anyone know if this will damage my computer??
I have selected the HD in the preferences startup; I've unplugged it for several minutes; started up in S mode; zapped the P ram; ran permissions; you name it. im at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should i buy another Mac? I cant afford one in this economy.

I suggest you use the Recovery Partition Disk Utility to check the hard disk and then re-install the OS from there.

Macbook Air 13" Mid2011 won't wake up after sleep again after replacing logic board

I have replaced my logic board a few days ago for the issue of not waking up after sleep.
It was good when I was in store and the same night.
1 day later, when I put the laptop to sleep by clicking the sleep menu item, I cannot wake it up by all means in the next morning!!!!! Again!!!!!
I hooked it with a 22" LCD monitor via thunderbold to HDMI+HDMI to DVI. Will that cause issue?
I'm not sure when this will end, I cannot just keep replacing my logic board!

I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?
