Opening macbook pro from sleep after some hours, login screen is blurry with progress bar?

I just got my first 13'' MBP three days ago. Both last night and the night before I closed the lid to put it to sleep overnight for about 7 hours whilst plugged into the AC as to not drain unnecessary power. In the morning when I opened the lid it was on the login page but the screen was blurry and there was a progress bar on the bottom of the screen. My sister has had a MBP for a few months but this has never happened to her. The problem only lasted about 30 seconds but is it normal? Am I maybe doing something wrong?

Did you quit out all of your applications prior to letting the MBP sleep over night?
If concerned, you can either call AppleCare or return the MBP. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return and/or exchange w/no questions asked.

Can I wake my Macbook Pro from Sleep with the Remote app on the iPhone?

I can't access my Macbook Pro remotely, specially after several hours of inactivity,, whenever I try to access content of my library through the remote app or the Apple TV I'm unable to wake my Macbook Pro up.
My Macbook Pro is 2012 model (the last with de CD Drive) and it's running the Maverick OS, my questions are:
* I'm unable to find the "Unable Power Nap while plugged" option on the energy saver tab... is that because the model of my laptop doesn't support that?
* In order to access content from my library remotely, should the "Computer Sleep" option on the energy saver be on "Never" instead of the "1 hour" that I'm currently using... or is there a way to still be able to wake up the laptop with those settings

Do you have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your network?
<About Wake on Demand and Bonjour Sleep Proxy>
If you do not have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy server on your local network, then you cannot allow your Mac to go to sleep at all. System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Computer Sleep -> Never (slide all the way to the right).

HT6150 Single press of Power Button does not put my MacBook Pro to sleep after this update! Do I need to change anything in the settings? Any help please? Thank you!

The title says it all! After installing the new Mavericks update, I cannot put my MacBook Pro to sleep after a single press of the Power Button like before. Does it have something to do with this update or my MacBook Pro? Or do I have to change something in Settings?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Send your opinion to Apple.
But remember that there are others.
A moment is a medieval unit of time equal to 1.5 minutes or 1/40 of an hour. This reckoning is derived from the work of Bartholomeus Anglicus, writing in 1240 that each hour was divided into four points, each point into ten moments, each moment into twelve ounces, and each ounce into 47 atoms.
In modern English it usually refers to "a short period of time",[2] the exact length remaining ambiguous.

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep? Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to. Is there a way to change this? Are others having this issue?
Additionally, previous iMessages sent or received from those devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP. I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS you are running. What is the version?
A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.
 Cheers, Tom

Serious problems waking up my MacBook Pro from sleep mode

I have quite frequent problems waking my MacBook Pro from sleep mode - often it results in either a black or a totally scrambled screen and only a hard reset will cure the problem (for this time). I have tried to pinpoint whether a certain program that I use last before putting the computer to sleep is responsible, but all attempts so far have failed. The error seems random, but is very annoying since one in about three or four wake-up actions are affected!
I use Parallels Desktop during the day running Windows XP, and in the evenings I use mainly Safari and Mail under OSX. The only other program always open is Mori - a notes/information management tool.
Anyone with similar problems? Any advice??
Cheers,

MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello,
I was browsing the 'downloads' section of the Apple support page and I saw a firmware update that might help you out.
It is called the "MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2" and it is supposed to fix "several Boot Camp, start up, and wake-from-sleep issues on MacBook Pro computers."
The web address is ( http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macbookproefifirmwareupdate12.html )
If that doesn't fix it call Apple care.
Good Luck.

When my IMac awakes from sleep mode, the password login screen freezes and no cursor appears.

Hello! When my IMac awakens from sleep mode, my log in screen is frozen (I can't type anything) and there is no cursor.
I can turn the computer off and on again and then I have an active log in screen, but if I walk away from the computer and it goes into sleep mode and i have the same problem trying to bring it back from sleep mode.
Thoughts?

Hey Kristogirl,
I understand that when waking from sleep mode, your iMac freezes. Try executing these two troubleshooting steps:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
OS X Mountain Lion: Reset your computer’s PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11243
If neither of those help the issue, I would follow the steps in the next article, specifically the "If the issue occurs in various applications, or in Mac OS X" section:

My Mail app opens unprompted everytime i reboot or awake my macbook pro from sleep. This was not an issue until i shut down my laptop for the first time in a while 2 days ago. ANy ideas how to stop this?

I recently shut down my MacBook Pro for the first time in a long time. SInce then, everytime i reboot or awake my laptop from sleep, the Mail app opens unprompted causing my computer to slow down incredibly, and some apps to freeze. I have no idea how to stop this or why it even started doing this. Any ideas on how to get it to stop? Thanks!

I have this problem too with my Macbook Air. Mail opens automatically every time my laptop sleeps. I actually just asked about this in my own thread. However, it is not causing my apps to freeze.

USB doesn't wake up after waking MacBook Pro from Sleep Mode

I have a problem with my new MacBook Pro.
I attach an Apple 20" cinema display to the macbook pro USB connector and then I attach my apple keyboard and mouse to my cinema display.
When I wake up my macbook from being asleep my mouse and keyboard are not activated. I have to unplug my cinema display USB connector and unplug my keyboard from the display and then plug them all back in again to get them to re-activate.
Anybody know why this is occurring, its very frustrating each time my machine goes to sleep

In that case, does the problem still exist when starting up the MBP in Safe mode and then putting it to sleep and awakening it?

Macbook pro wont sleep after ram upgrade

Hi,
I have a 17" Macbook pro late 2011. I upgraded the ram from 8gb to 16gb last week and now I having trouble with sleep. When the laptop goes to sleep it always to seems to go into hibernation mode. When I open the lid I can only wake the computer by holding the power button for around 7 secs and then it does a restore from the HD. I've tried a PRAM + SMC reset. Also tested the ram and everything seems good. Below is the output from pm set, the console after hibernation restore (filtered for the word 'sleep') and the memtest. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi fatlinesofcode,
First of all, check out Apples article on the issue: OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep If you find these steps don't help, try a few of the following
A common cause for the Mac not sleeping is your printer. If there are queued jobs waiting to be printed, but your printer is switched off, for some reason you Mac just wont like it and simply will not go to sleep. System Preferences > Print and Scan > Open Print Queue
Do you have an Ethernet Cable connected? People have reported in the past that removing their Ethernet allowed their Mac to sleep. This goes for other things you may have connected directly to your Mac also.
Try heading into your Mac Preferences > Sharing and deselecting 'Internet Sharing' as well as 'Printer Sharing'.
Also deselect Wake For Network Access by heading to System Preferences > Energy Saver > Power Adapter > Wake For Network Access.
Energy Saver > Schedule > Startup or Wake - Uncheck.
Alternatively, set your system preferences to Never Sleep, and put into Sleep manually: System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep > Never.
Good luck!

Waking 2012 Macbook Pro from sleep when on mains power

My Macbook takes ages to wake from sleep *when its on mains power* and has been left for a few hours. In contrast, it will wake instantly when on battery power, as my old 2005 ibook did.
However when on mains when you open the lid, you get a progress bar at the bottom of the screen. When this has completed, it displays the login screen but without focus or ability to move the cursor. A pinwheel revolves for a while. After the pinwheel has finished, as soon as you touch the trackpad, you get the beach ball and finally (after a total of about 45 seconds) you get to log in.
Apart from the fact that this doesn't make any sense for a slow wake up on mains and fast wake up on battery, the manner is which it is executed is so cumbersome and un-Apple I'm sure there has to be something wrong, although I've searched extensively and can't find anything to fix it (Tried resetting the SMC etc)
Any help massively appreciated!

MacBook Pro Not Sleeping After Closing Display Lid

Hello, my less-than-1-month old MacBook Pro, for it's first time, did not to go to sleep after I closed the display lid (I noticed because my external mouse's LED indicator lights were still on, when they have always turned off when my Mac goes to sleep.
I left the Mac in this state for one hour or so. When I got back to use it, I noticed it was still running and the display had gotten a bit warmer. Does the heat damage the LCD display at all?
Has anyone else with a MacBook Pro experienced a similar occurrence?
Thanks a lot for your answers!

Try this:
1. Reset PRAM/NVRAM and SMC
2. Delete
a. (From the HD) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
b. (From the HD) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
c. (From the Home Folder) ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
the tilde [~] indicates your home user directory, i.e. /Users/username)
d. Restarted computer
With the lid closed should not harm the computer.....when operating in clamshell mode this would be considered normal (heat buildup).

Logic Pro prevents MacBook Pro from sleeping

I've been having trouble of late with my MacBook Pro -- it has been refusing to go into sleep mode on its own. I sat down and did a bunch of careful experiments turning various things off and on, and I've narrowed it down to Logic Pro 8! If this application is running, my MBPro will not sleep automatically. If I exit the application, it sleeps like a baby. In any case, I can force the machine to sleep manually no problem.
I am not sure whether this problem first occurred with 10.5.4 or 10.5.5.

If in fact it is Logic preventing the system from sleeping (and I think it probably is) this is new since version 8 and is probably the direct result of all the complaints version 7 received.
I'm afraid I don't find these responses to be very compelling, sorry.
First, it has always been trivially easy to turn off the sleep function on an Apple machine. Everyone who owns an Apple knows how to do this simple thing.
Second, sleep does not cause failure of any kind for properly working audio hardware and other attached devices. I have three audio interfaces connected to my machine, plus an eSATA drive, external video, and ethernet cable, and the machine sleeps and wakes up just fine. No problem. This has nothing to do with audio or real-time anything, it's just a question of writing a device driver correctly. It would be the same for a printer or a camera or anything else attached to the computer. I have one device that does not sleep and wake properly: a western digital hard drive when connected by eSATA via the ExpressCard/34 slot. Again, there's no relation to audio or recording or Logic.
I wonder if there's anyone from Apple reading this newsgroup who can comment on the actual intention. If it is indeed to disable sleep, it would be nice to know. If on the other hand, it's unintentional, maybe it means that some other setting is wrong or there's something to be done about it.
Thanks,

I'm buying a 2014 MacBook Pro from eBay; after I purchase it can I go to the Apple Store and buy AppleCare for it?

I am looking at MacBook Pro's on eBay and I began to think: What if I purchase it and something is wrong with it? I thought about AppleCare and wondered it that would cover it. I know that if something is wrong with the computer I got from eBay I should contact the seller, but some sellers don't allow returns if something is messed up and I don't want to be stuck in THAT situation.

AppleCare can only be purchased within one year after the original sale. It must be purchased before the one year standard warranty expires. Anyone can purchase it unless the seller has already purchased it. Then it is available to you since the warranty travels with the computer, not the owner.
A big risk buying on eBay is that you may get a stolen computer or possibly nothing. Take care.

Safari keeps macbook pro from sleeping.

Hi, for a few weeks, my macbook pro with snow leopard and safari 5.1 is not going to sleep by itself. I have no problems putting it to sleep.
I tried disabling Safari's extensions but didn't help. Only when safari is close does my computer fall asleep by itself.
Any idea what to do?
thanks

http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Diablotin.html
No... I said Safari / Extensions.
A third party preference utility may not be helping matters.
To access Safari Extensions...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences
Select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed there, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test the sleep issue.

Can I keep my MacBook Pro from sleeping when I close the lid?

Is there a way to close the lid on my MacBook Pro without putting it to sleep so that it will continue to play music via USB to my stereo?
I want to use my Macbook Pro to play music on Amarra or iTunes via USB to a DAC connected to my stereo. The MBP will be on a shelf in my stereo cabinet where the lid cannot remain open. I do not wish to connect an external mouse, keyboard or display to the MBP. Is there a way to keep playing the music with the lid closed?
Thanks.
