Occasional reboot when waking MacBook from sleep. iTunes related?

Recently, sometimes when I'm waking my MacBook from sleeping, instead of waking, it reboots. I'd say, one out of twenty times.
It started around the same time I started subscribing to PodCasts. (I'm not using an iPod with them, just downloading them to the MacBook and listening to them through iTunes.)
My iTunes version is 7.0.2.
Any clue as to why this may be happening? Or, more importantly, how to resolve this issue?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi, sugapablo.
I wouldn't think your PodCast subscriptions are the cause. However, you could cancel your subscriptions for a few weeks and see if that sorts it out.
Here are some troubleshooting ideas that I think may be more relevant:
1. Have you applied the "MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.1."? That update fixed a problem with <<a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304308">spontaneous shutdowns — at a guess, your problem may be related.
2. You may want to try some of the troubleshooting steps cited in the following documents:• "http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303234."
• "Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode."
3. Run the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) that came the affected computer. See my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ for comprehensive advice on using the AHT in troubleshooting.
4. You cited that it reboots. However, if you are seeing the following message
that indicates a kernel panic.
If so, see my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ. This FAQ includes step-by-step instructions for identifying and resolving some of the most common causes of kernel panics. The FAQ is a roadmap: start at the beginning and work systematically through the end, i.e. the "If all else fails..." section.
5. You may want to search the "MacBook Discussion" for similar reports.
6. Since I suspect your MacBook is still under warranty, you may want to contact AppleCare
Good luck!

10.6.6 causes reboots when waking up from sleep

After installing 10.6.6 everything on my machine seems to be just fine except when my systems goes to sleep and when I wake it up it reboots every time.
It also rebooted 2 different times for no reason at all butI have not been able to make it do that again.

OSX 10.9.1 macbook pro 13 retina - wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse

Hello,
My config is OSX 10.9.1 new macbook pro 13 retina (2014).
The wifi does not reconnect automatically when waking up from sleep mode since I have a Bluetooth apple magicmouse.
It was not the case before I bought the BT mouse.
Is this problem between Wifi and bluetooth coming from the OS?
Is there a fix already available or scheduled?
Thanks

Hello alexandrefromfrance
Check the Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly section for steps on what to do when your MacBook Pro does not connect after waking from sleep. I have also quoted the section on troubleshooting the issue as well.
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
After waking from sleep or starting up, your computer may not show that it is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
After start or wake, your computer may indicate that it is connected to a network, but does not connect to the Internet.
Solution
Use these steps if your computer does not automatically connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".  Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

High power comsumption and wrong setting when waking up from sleep

See here for some more information: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-7-RTM-Discussion/High-Power-Consumption-with-Windows-7/td-p/1668...
Settings: T400, integrated GPU,"maximum battery live" power sheme, brightness level 3, wlan on. Newest switchable graphics driver, power manager and power management drivers installed, SU4 didn't find newer drivers.
Power consumption is between 12-16W most of the time, whereas it was close to 10W on XP, from what i heard from a friend, i installed win7 on my machine right after i bought the thinkpad.
When waking up from sleep( i think hibernation as well) power consumption is abnormal, because both GPUs are activated. You have to switch to to the dedicated and back to the integrated via power manager to deactivate the ATI, which is very annoying.
Is lenovo working on these issues or are there any workaroungs already?

I've got similar problems on a T400 with hybrid graphics running Windows 7 x64 Professional, upgraded from Vista x64 Professional. I've upgraded everything to the latest (driver, bios, etc etc) using System Update.
When I boot up from cold, and switch to using batteries, the power consumption is around 8w. Very good.
Then I suspend, and resume from suspend, and the power consumption shoots up to like 20w. Horrible.
Then I manually switch to "High performance" and then back to "Energy saving", the power consumption comes back down, but to >9w, which is like 13% above the original 8w level. Acceptable, but not good.
This seems to indicate there're at least two problems with the power management aspect of T400 + Win7 x64:
First, there is the well-known problem that both internal and external graphics cards get turned on upon resume. Lenovo, please fix this problem. It's completely unacceptable to have to manually perform that switching every time one closes, and then opens the lid, or loss 60% of the battery life. And I do need to use the external GPU from time to time, so disabling it at BIOS level is not acceptable either.
Second, there is the more subtle problem that some other hardware/driver besides the graphics card makes the T400 draw an extra >1w upon resume.
I really wonder if these problems occur with T400 preinstalled with Win7 x64. If they do, shouldn't every major laptop review sites take notice of the defect and warn people. If they don't, then I do not really see why it's so hard for Lenovo to provide earlier users with the right driver/registry patch/etc to enable the correct behavior. As far as I know, these problems have not been fixed since Win7 came out.
Finally let me add that other that this, I'm extremely satisfied with my T400/Win7 system. The thermal dissipation, noise level, and durability are just top-notch. But this just makes the above mentioned problems more of a thorn in the side!

Trouble waking macbook from sleep

Im having trouble waking my macbook from sleep once i close the top of my computer. I can just make out the outline of my desktop but it is very dark. It takes around 4-5 minutes before the screen of the computer illuminates. I have tried holding down F2 as well as tapping the power button but neither seems to work. does anyone have any suggestions?

Same here. I did bring it in and they exchanged it but the new one is even worse. Once it gets into this cycle, I can get it to the login screen, it won't accept my password (even making SURE i enter it correctly) until the third time. Then it accepts it and bam, goes to sleep again. Only a hard reboot fixes it for a time. It happened this morning, so we'll see how long until it happens again. We have two other macbooks (a late 07 model and a macbook pro from early 08) that do not do this.

I'm having the same problem with a Black Macbook C2D 2.4Ghz. Installed Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 and whenever the computer sleeps, it completely hangs on wake. I've installed the system twice and the behavior is the same. Tried pulling each of the RAM sticks. No difference. Anybody else?

Can't use mouse/keyboard/trackpad when waking iMac from sleep mode

Basically as the title says. When I wake my iMac from sleep mode I am unable to use my keyboard/trackpad/mouse during the login window. Once the screen goes black by itself, after a minute or so I can then log in properly.
Yes the keyboard/mouse/trackpad are all connected when it wakes from sleep as I can use any of them to wake it from sleep, I just can't move them or type with them in the login window.
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)

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 the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
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. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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.

Screen issues when waking up from sleep

Very strange things going on with the screen on my new MBP, it has only occurred on a very few occasions now, after waking up from sleep. I noticed two strange effects happening, not at the same time so I don't know if they are related or not.
1) Sometimes the screen shows a varying brightness pattern at the bottom, I think caused by some of the LEDs from the backlighting having a different brightness then others.
2) Sometimes the entire screen has a blueish hue.
Both issues are fixed when I restart the computer.... anyone know what might be going on...?

Also when it wakes up from sleep the screen flashes, don't think its supposed to do that.
Here is a picture I took with my phones that shows how the screen looks like, notice the difference in brightness in a pattern.

Macbook pro tries to connect bluetooth keyboard when waking up from sleep

I have a 2012 Macbook pro and it is trying to connect to a bluetooth keyboard when I wake it up from sleep. The computer freezes while it is searching for the keyboard and only works properly once it discovers there is no keyboard connected. I have never used a bluetooth keyboard and I currently have my bluetooth switched off.
Doe anyone have any idea how I might stop this from happening? It can often freeze for quite a while, which can be very frustrating.

I have the exact same issue. MacBook Pro Mid 2012. OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. Mine is actually brand new.

Screen flashes when waking up from sleep, Macbook Pro Retina 13" early 2013

Hey guys,
I have an issue with the wake up procedure on my new Macbook Pro Retina 13". This is how it looks: http://youtu.be/pBK8vRiVdX4
When my computer has been in sleep mode for a longer time (approximately 1-3 hours) it does this strange thing when I open the lid. It is black for a time and suddenly there is a blue flashing screen before it goes to the desktop. This process is about 10 seconds.
Does anyone know if there is a solution for this? Have you had the same problem? I called Apple support this morning and he told me to reset SMC and clear the PRAM, but the issue is still there.
Please let me know if you know something about this.
Kindly,
Mikael

i had the same problem too and i think i could isolate its cause. I tried a few things on my 13 inch retina macbook pro like switching off functions like ''put hard disk to sleep when possible'' but this wasnt a solution to the problem... after alot of playing around with my macbook, i realised that this flashing problem only occured when my macbook was scaled up to any resolution other than the native resolution... when i went back to the native resolution, the flashing stopped and my macbook started almost instantaneously after opening the screen... you should try it out... and tell me what you think...
think it is pretty annoying that we get this issue when scaled up to some other resolution and wish there is a solution somewhere online to solve this... but for now, i think it is quite an annoying bug but still not something i cant live with...
tell me what think about it:)

Macbook air (2012) with Lion shuts down when waking up from sleep mode

Looking for solutions to this problem, which occurs about 30-40% of the time after computer wakes up from sleep. Doesn't seem to be related to the length of time that computer sleep or whether I put it to sleep manually or it does so automatically. I've read in other forums that upgrading to Mountain Lion does not solve the problem.

You might try resetting the SMC:

External display issues when waking display from sleep

After waking my external display from sleep (the entire Macbook was not asleep, just the external display), the garbled colored dots kept appearing at the top and bottom of the screen, only then for the entire display to go black, then about 5-10 seconds later the images comes back, but with the garbled colored dots at the bottom. It will keep doing this over and over again.
It's only happened once so far, but I seem to remember reading about some issues when waking from sleep with the new unibody Macbooks with regards to external displays. Is this a known issue with these Macbooks?

There have been similar reports. However, not all external displays in combination with a MacBook will exhibit this problem. Thus, it seems either display specific or something that is caused by a cross between one display and a MacBook.
I assume that you are using one of Appe's mini DisplayPort to DVI adapters to connect to the external display. In that case have you installed the latest firmware update for the adapter?

Kernel panic when waking PowerBook from sleep on a new network

I occasionally take my PowerBook from home to work, and lately there have been several instances of my PB having a kernel panic when I plug in the ethernet cable and wake it from sleep. I have not tested this extensively, but it seems to occur under the following conditions:
1. PB is disconnected from network location 1, and the lid is closed so that it goes to sleep.
2. PB is moved to network location 2, the ethernet cable at that location is plugged in, and then the computer lid is opened, causing the computer to awake from sleep.
3. The computer has a kernel panic immediately on awaking.
I believe, but am not absolutely positive, that this does not occur if I awake the computer first, and then plug in the ethernet cable. Unfortunately that order of doing things is counter-intuitive to me, as I tend to want to plug everything in before waking the computer up.
Possibly a factor: At my home location I have a manually assigned IP address and other location-specific settings, whereas at work I change the network settings to fully automatic once the computer starts up.

Hello DistantThunder
In most cases kernel panics are a result of a hardware error on some cases a software error.
I would suggest you look at an excellent procedure for resolving these issues on Dr Smoke's website.

TS3742 How do I resolve OS 10.8 kernal panics / crashes that occur most frequenly when waking up from sleep mode?

I get a lot of gray screens of death on my MacBook Pro ever since I went to OS 10.8. Never had issues with the 10.6 versions and now miss those days. The kernal panics seem to occur most frequently just waking it up from sleep, regardless of where i am or what is attached to it. I can't help but wonder if it is a problem with the video drivers under 10.8.x.
I get these daily, so here is the log that gets sent to Apple, but I'm not really sure anyone looks at them. Perhaps they would if other people experienced the problem too, but perhaps I'm in the vast minority.

Do you see things like described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
If so, or even if they don't, you should take your MBP into an Apple Store or Apple Certified Service center along with a printout of that article. They will test it to see if it is that problem and replace the logic board for free up to three years from date of purchase. That time is likely close or already passed.

Monitor not reacting when waking computer from sleep.

Monitor: HP Pavilion 22bw IPS LED Backlit Monitor
Computer: HP Pavilion Desktop 500-314
Processor: MD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C + 6G, 3.10 GHz
RAM: 8 gb
Windows 8.1
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x-64 based processor
Basically when I wake the comp from sleep, the comp itself turns on, but the monitor does not respond at all. I have to force shutdown all the time. When I turn on the computer, the monitor displays picture again.

Hello flashlight365,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are having issue with your HP Pavilion 22bw IPS LED Backlit Monitor waking up after being put into sleep mode by your HP Pavilion 500-314 Desktop PC running Windows 8.1. I would like you to ensure that you have the AMD Graphics Driver installed. As well there is no HP Pavilion 22bw IPS LED Backlit Monitor Driver for Windows 8.1, but you can try installing the HP Pavilion 22bw IPS LED Backlit Monitor Driver, which is for Windows 8 in compatibility mode.
As there are no additional drivers for your monitor if the issue persists beyond what I have posted you can try the steps below to turn off the computer putting the monitor to sleep to begin with:
Step 1. At the Tiles Menu type "power"
Step 2. Click on Power and Sleep Settings
Step 3. Select "Never" for both settings

Occasional reboot when waking MacBook from sleep. iTunes related?
