PowerBook freezes when coming out of sleep/screensaver

This problem with my 12" PowerBook started yesterday. I thought it was because I bumped it slightly, but I really don't know.
When I leave my PowerBook with the screen open and try to wake it up again from the screensaver, it freezes. I get the colored, spinning wheel and the computer won't respond to the keyboard or mouse. I had a downloaded screensaver from the Apple website and I just deleted it to see if that was the problem. Now I can't even change my screensaver settings in System Preferences. It just freezes.
What can I do?
PowerBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome, Alliekat08
i would first start to reset PRAM. if this doesn't help, i would do as fast as possible a backup of all files you want to keep. next step would be to see if it has to do with a specific screen svaer, or not.
There might also be some settings which lead to this problem; you might try to move the screensaver settings (the System-Prefs) to a file with a different name, it is the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist located in /User/Library/Preferences.
more complicated solutions might be an "Archive and Install" respectively an "ERASE and Install", but these are really drastic approaches. if you are (relatively) new on macintoshs, i would post back, before i would go to do this.
Hope this helps,
Thomas

MacBook freezing when coming out of sleep mode

Several times now my computer has completely frozen just after it comes out of sleep mode, and I've had to manually shut it down using the power button. Is anyone else having this problem?

I bought two Macbooks; 2.4 Ghz, one was directly purchased from Apple with 4GB RAM; the other one was standard equipped with 2GB, but shop swapped it to 4GB total.
The last Macbook has exactly same problem as you all describe. Most of the times when you open the lid, the Macbook doesn't wake up from sleep. Screen remains black, though keyboard backlit turns on.
Computer hangs completely; and need to perform hard-power-down. Indeed also power LED is not pulsating during sleep; or stops doing it after a while.
I've tried to reset the SMC as suggested in other threads, but it didn't help. Has anybody already gone to Apple about this and got this resolved? I'm not sure whether it's the memory upgrade of the shop, as the other Macbook that came with 4GB seems not have this problem anymore (I had it only once on the first day). Not sure whether RAM upgrade is problem, because while running the Macbook it works perfectly and is completely stable.

Computer Freezes When Coming Out From Sleeping

I'm using a new dual core 20" iMac System. Lately when ever I try to wake-up my system after its been a sleep for about 5 hours or more it freezes and I can not do anything. I must restart the system. I spoke with the people from tech support and they say that because all of my software that I use is not "Universal" this is what is causing my problem. I don't believe them. Is any body else having similar problems. Please advise.

After verifying that it is, in fact, installed, reset your iMac's SMC.

Why does my MAC sometimes crash when coming out of sleep mode?

My mac freezea sometimes when coming out of sleep mode, and occasionally the screen will go black. At other times I will be using the MAC and it will just freeze. The only way to get out of it is to kill power and reboot. It seems to be happening more frequently.
It was suggested that I fix permissions and start in sleep mode. This has helped in the past, and I am going to do it again now. I also recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and after that the crashes were fewer, but now they are increasing again.
I am including a log of the recent crash a few minutes ago.

Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

E9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode

My new HP Elite e9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode- When I 'touch a key' or move mouse, power switch on computer turns from yellow to blue, but monitor remains black. Have to force off, and restart. Adjusted power management to 'never' sleep but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Southmike, I'm glad I could help you out. When I tried using the settings you stated, it didn't help me resume from standby. However, I did finally get standby to work by first resetting the BIOS to default, and then setting the Power Management to:
ACPI Standby: S3
Call VGA BIOS (no idea what this is): Enable
USB Wakeup: Enable
Power Management/APM: Disable
And, I also disabled a few other things I dont use like onboard Audio and RAID and voila, now WinXP can go into standby and resume from it piece of cake.

Windows 7 Sleep issues--freezes after coming out of sleep

Running Windows 7 rig with MSI MS-7511 Mobo. Back in October, I purchased a refurb Microsoft Wireless 6000 keyboard and installed it. I THINK this is what started my problems. Since then, computer will go into sleep mode as usual, but at some point after coming out of sleep (maybe a few seconds, maybe an hour) it will totally freeze. The only way to get the system back up is to unplug it and re-start.
I have since uninstalled the keyboard, and tried to restore, but still having the problem. Pretty sure it's a USB problem, but I have tried re-installing drivers (mcp732) and even the MB BIOS. If I run the system without my wireless mouse and with no USB devices, it works fine. I have also tried switching USB devices to different ports, to no avail.
It's not just the mouse that causes the issues, it seems to be any connected USB device.
Also--and I think this is weird-I installed a PCI USB card in one of the slots and transferred my mouse to that and the same thing still happens. Wouldn't that be a totally different set of drivers than the ones that drive the main MB USB devices?
Don't know what to try next . . . want to avoid having to do a Windows re-install if possible.
Below are the errors I get when I run powercfg -ENERGY.
Any ideas? Would like to avoid giving away another two days of my life re-installing my software.

I don't think I've had a setup yet where sleepmode wasn't causing issues, I shut it off.
Sleep has only become an issue with Windows 7, where MS got so aggressive about it, and caused so many problems for so many people, that many have done as you and turned it off! Shame on you Microsoft! Instead of saving energy your customers are leaving their PCs on!
I suspect the OP's problem is with (of all things) the MS wireless mouse/kb driver(s). At first my setup wouldn't work at all, then I dl'ed the newest Intellimouse drivers/software and it worked "better", but I have never been able to get Sleep to work reliably. I finally found that Hibernate works reliably, so that is all I do now. When the PC is done working, it saves to HDD and shuts off. Resuming from this state takes longer than resuming from Sleep, but at least it Works Every Time.

Screen freezing/blanking when coming out of sleep

Hi,
Wonder if someone can help.
I have a iMac (20-inch Mid 2007), that's been running fine up till about a year ago.
Now sometimes when you take it out of sleep, one of the following will happen:
- Screen will come on, then just go blank.
or
- Screen will come on, screen freezes but the cursor will still move around, but nothing will be selectable.
With both you can hear the hard drive and fans still spinning. The only way to bring it back is to completely power it off, and on. But sometimes after doing this, after signing in again, it my freeze or blank out again.
When the iMac is on, its normally ok, but if after bringing out of sleep you try and open things, it can then go blank or freeze as above. But when Its been on for 5 minutes its fine and runs fine for hours or even days if you leave it on.
It doesn't always happen, many times when you turn it on, its fine, just getting more and more...
I have upgraded to latest OS and recently upgraded the 250gb internal hard drive to 1TB drive, I cleaned the fans out while doing this, but again issues remain.
Can anyone suggest what could be causing this? I would be fixing it myself, as its out of warranty and more than capable of doing a full strip down.
Thanks

Powerbook freezes when it goes to sleep...

I recently took my 17" Powerbook G4 to get a new motherboard because the old one was giving off a false over-heat signal, causing the computer to shut down after a few minutes.
Anyway, I've got it back now, but it's starting to act up...but in a different way. If my computer ever goes to sleep, be it because I left it open for long enough that the screen goes black or if I close the lid without shutting down, it'll freeze up. I can wiggle my mouse to get it out of sleep mode, but then it just freezes and it's really annoying cause then I have to reboot. So now, I can't keep a website up and go away for an hour and then come back to it because it'll freeze. Every time I leave my computer I have to shut it down and then start it back up when I come back. It's a huge hassle and I'd love to know why it's doing this. Is it the new motherboard? Do I have to take it back for more repairs?
Please help!

My 15" Powerbook G4 just started doing the same thing yesterday - it freezes as soon as I wake it up from sleeping. Sometimes it freezes before it finishes booting up as well.

This was Related to iaStorA.sys Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver from Intel Corp. I would remove the current one and install the newest available driver (do not reboot)
If you continue to crash I would remove Symantec.

I have newly converted from pc to mac. I have a new iMac 20" with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the new Airport Extreme Base Station. The only problem I seem to have is when my system comes out of sleep mode, it does not always reconnect to the base station. The only option I can see is to turn off the airport on my computer then turn it back on. Is there some other setting or another fix for this? Thanks!
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Applehave posted a fix for this. I had the same problem on my Macbook.
Go to System prefs>network
Choose Airport in the show field
Under the airport tab choose by default,join preferred network
Any wireless connection listed using WPA or WPA2 security remove using the - option.
change the By default, join option back to Automatic
Re-connect to your router this will add it back into the list and you will reconnect automatically after sleep.

Only 1 of my 2 Thunderbolt displays restarts when coming out of sleep mode now that I have installed Mavericks

My setup:
Early 2011 Macbook pro
2 Thunderbolt monitors: one monitor connected to the macbook pro, the second monitor connected to the back of the first monitor
Everything worked great until I installed Mavericks. Since installing Mavericks, when my laptop comes out of sleep mode only the monitor that is connected to the macbook wakes up. The second monitor does not wake up.
In order to get the second monitor to wake up I have to either unplug the thunderbolt connection from the back of the first monitor and plug it in again or unplug the first monitor's thunderbolt connection from the macbook and then plug it in again.
I've tried changing the order of the monitors that are connected to the macbook and rebooting the machine as well. Nothing works. Help?

Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

Z77A-GD65 - Intel Network Adapter disabled when coming out of sleep mode

Just put together a new system with a Z77A-GD65 motherboard, Core i7 3770, and Corsair Vengeance RAM.
Installed the Windows 8 RTM (final release) version, which installs flawlessly and works fine. (Yes, I have an early license to Win8).
Here's the problem. If the system goes to sleep, when it comes back out of sleep mode, the Intel Network Adapter stops working. (Hence, all network and internet connectivity is off). This is evident by the Network Status icon in the explorer task tray showing a red "X". Any attempt to run the troubleshooter results in the message "The Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection adapters is experiencing driver or hardware problems". Screenshots and log files can be found on my Skydrive here: h t t p : //sdrv.ms/NVBatL
The driver version of the NIC, is what Windows installed during setup, is from Intel, version 12.0.150.0 dated 2/29/2012. (It was installed with Windows 8 by default).
Rebooting the machine fixes the problem. For now, setting the Windows power settings to never sleep is my current workaround. I tried downloading and installing some software and driver packages from Intel that I thought might update the driver, but it did not work.
I am assuming this issue will not be present if I put on Windows 7, but that's what I was really hoping to avoid. Suggestions? Newer Intel driver available?

I don't know why you think this workaround "defeats the the object of having power saving features". That might be a fair point if this was a laptop relying on battery charge. But "sleep" doesn't mean "zero power". It means just enough power to keep the memory alive and some LEDs blinking.
In the case of a desktop build, keeping the LAN adapter awake is a non-issue. Several hundred watts of power are being consumed when the PC is on. When it goes to sleep, that power usage drops down just a handful of watts. If the workaround means having to dedicate an extra watt of power to the LAN adapter, then so be it.
I am not trying to discourage what you did. I have found many a work around to niggly bugs over the years. All I am trying to state is that this bug should be fixed, i.e. the LAN should wake up together with the PC. At the moment it works for you, which is great, and you reported it. Nothing more you can do.
As for the power saving. Yes of course we are talking about negligible consumption here, but the principle is that all these new machines have to comply with EuP2013 which dictates a maximum power usage for the total system when being in a sleep state. This can obviously not be achieved when one has to keep components powered because of a bug.
I would be interested to know what ME firmware version you have on your machine. I myself have had irritating intermittent issues with the Intel LAN on the same board as you in terms of the LAN remaining dead after start up whenever I change HW or do firmware updates. It then takes a restart to get the LAN active again.
Intel has released two IME updates over the last month and there is a recent update for the Ethernet controller as well. I updated both and am monitoring. Since the update I have not had any further issues, but its still early days and I am reluctant to say it solved the issue.

Hi fan speed when coming out of sleep

Hello Everyone,
I've had my iMAC Core Duo for a week now and I've noticed that when I power up the iMAC from shutdown the fans are almost completely silent. After I put the iMAC to sleep for a while 1 hour or so and wake it up the fans kick into high speed and don't slow down at all (lots of noise). I've tried reseting the SMU (unplug the mac, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in while holding down the power button.), no luck. I also tried reseting the NVRAM and deleting the powermanagement.plist. No luck. Anyone else having the same issue? If so have you found a fix or work around?
Thanks,
Rem

Looks like I've been able to narrow this down. I have a second monitor attached to the iMAC in extended desktop mode. If I remove the mini DVI connector to the second monitor and put the iMAC to sleep and wake it up a while later the fans start up go fast and within a few seconds slow right down to an level barely audible. Put the Mini DVI back in put it to sleep bring it out of sleep and the fans kick in full and stay on. Anyone else having this issue?
