OS X 10.4.6 Update problem-Waking up

hello everyone.
I am a new mac user after finally having enough of Bill's Windows Bulls*.
I did the 10.4.6 update and since then it appears that when my comp goes to sleep it seems normal but when I open the cover of the laptop it doesnt wake up. Just a black screen. Is anyone else having this problem.
So I sit and wait, move the mouse around click keys and get nothing...causing me to have to turn off the laptop manually with the power button. Then when it loads it may freeze or I get a warning saying to hold down the power button to restart, finally after a few trys is will restart normally.
Any ideas? I have liked my mac for the past month since I have made the switch from windows but this is getting me frustrated.
Thanks
~Tony

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Does the same thing happen if you choose "Sleep" from the Apple menu, without closing the lid, and then try to wake it up?
Then when it loads it may freeze or I get a warning saying to hold down the power button to restart, finally after a few trys is will restart normally.
I think this is your bigger issue. It sounds like you're seeing a "kernel panic".

Is this what you're seeing? If so, repairing the trouble that's causing your kernel panic will probably also help cure your trouble with sleep & waking. There are a couple of helpful links you might want to check out:

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.

Update problem - VBDATA table

Dear All,
We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
Thanks in advance,
Federico Biavati
My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hello Siva,
This is what I did:
> Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
> You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
> that are pending/in error
Good point!!
After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
Thanks for you help,
Federico

Chart x scale update problem

LabVIEW 8.5.1
Sweep Chart Problem
The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep. The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart. I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this. I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
I've included a simple example.
Thanks much,
JSC321

You have a typical race condition!
There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
(Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
Try it!

IMac Sleep Problem Waking - Screen Black and Pixelization

I am having a screen problem "waking" my iMac (2010 model)
After the iMac is in (deep?) sleep mode
(I have it set to enter a password after sleep mode)
Screen is blank/off
I "wiggle" my mouse or trackpad
Screen is still blank (sometimes it may display my screen saver, but the screensaver is frozen)
If I start moving the mouse or trackpad, it starts "un painting" the black screen. You can see whatever is supposed to be on the screen, such as the logon "button".
It is really wierd. Like a black "overlay" is painted on the resume from sleep screen. As I move my mouse or trackpad, it is basically erasing the black, to show what is underneath. Each movement of the mouse, erases a small black square.
I usually move my mouse around the middle of the screen to uncover the logon button. Press the logon button. The screen magically reappears as normal. I enter my password and system logs back on normally.
It only seems to be when the iMac is in (deep?) sleep mode. If the screen is just blank for short time: I move the mouse/trackpad, and the logon screen is immediately displayed normally.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
There is a few other treads on this issue e.g. on the macrumors site, but no solutions.
Thanks to all in advance.

Hi! When you say "the power light goes off once again" are you talking about the power light on the monitor or the computer? If it's on the computer then it's likely the computer but if it's the monitor it could be the monitor or the video card. You may have to find another monitor to troubleshoot it. Tom

Help - problems waking up

Over the last week I have started to have problems waking up my iMac. The problem occurs randomly with the following symptoms: - the screen stays dark but the hard drive and fan start, with the fan gradually building to a dull roar.
I have reset the parameter RAM and SMU and done a safe mode boot which all seemed OK.
Any clues? Thanks.

Hello, I've been having several problems with my iMac G5 that seemed to all start at the same time:
1/ The problem under discussion - compunter won't start up again after sleeping - fan, noise etc. OR screen image comes back but then distorts slightly, a dark gray washes over it, and a restart notice appears (also distorted).
2/ Trouble starting computer - during start-up the usual tone is heard, then a grey screen appears and the start up process stops. I am forced to restart and try again. After several attempts the computer makes it to the grey apple logo and it finally starts up. The computer works perfectly once it is finally on all of the way - except for the sleep thing.
I have tried the follwing techniques to fix the problems:
- Disc Utility check: everything fine
- Hardware Test from disk: everything fine
- Re-set PRAM
- Tried starting holding down Option Key - had to shut down after endless wait
- Looked for new firmware - what I found didn't help
- Removed new Software - no change
- Tested with various peripherals unplugged - do dice
I have NOT tried Safe Boot - safe mode would turn off many of the functions I use most. Rendering the fix moot.
I'm not sure what else I can do. I am, of course, aware of the "Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" but as I live in Japan, outside Tokyo, it is going to be a long haul to get my computer in to be looked at.
Could this be fixed any other way by me? Or does this sound like a classic "G5 power/video issue" and I should just take it in?
Many thanks for your time in replying,

10.5.7 update problems

After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

jjtopspin wrote:
Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

Cache update problem in Integration Directory

Hi all,
We have a cache update problem in our PI development server.
If we try to edit, save and activate any of the ID objects, under Cache notifications>Central Adapter Engine> all these objects are displayed as gray items.
We have tried:
1. Clearing the SLD Data Cache.
2. Did SXI_CACHE complete refresh.
3. Did CPA cache refresh.
4. Did a complete cache refresh of the server.
5. Restarted the server.
But still the problem has not bee resolved. Could you pls provide your inputs and resolution points.
Thank you very much.
regards,
Jack Nuson

HI Jack ,
first try to manually update the cache from ID select on your cache notifiaction and click on delta cache refresh button and refresh button .IF it does not yied any result then
Perform a full cache refresh using the URL
http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full . If the cache refresh happens properly then your problem will get resolved other wise you have to see the cache log to view why it failed there it will show you the exact reason . You might need to restart your java server also if the problem persist .
Regards,
Saurabh

Twitter Update Problem

Seems I have a Twitter Update problem. 1. I have no pirated software on my computer either from the App Store or anywhere else. 2. I did buy a set off templates for iWork through the App Store with my Bosses Apple ID (it's for work). Is that really the problem. That's ridiculous. The apple ID is mine, as is much of the software, but it's a computer use for work. If this is true it makes the App Store a lot less useful.

my apologies I was so annoyed. I didn't bother to state my issue. The issue is: Twitter is constantly asking to be updated. Even after it's updated. Even if it's deleted. I looked at the forums for a solution and found that people were having this problem who installed pirated app store apps.
I am logged into the app store on my account. All but one of the apps on my machine that come from the app store are on my account. However there is one piece of software on my account that I purchased, by logging out and logging in with her ID, purchasing it, installing and logging out, and again logging in as myself. I don't have an issue with that app. However Twitter, which was installed under my username, constantly says it needs to be updated. Hope that makes it clearer.
