Problems after wake-up, kernel and battery

I have a Macbook Pro 2.2 GHz i7 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 with OS X 10.8.2 that is having some problems with Kernel going crazy and battery not being recognized after I put the computer to sleep and then I wake it up.
Some more information in here https://discussions.apple.com/message/21221254#21221254
Now I have discovered that the problem happens when I wake up my Macbook. At firts I thought that the problem was related to problems with the network, then I thought that it was temperature related (but the temperature has always been low...) and then I realized that when waking up the computer, the computer will wake up with a gray screen and then problems will start.
Anybody having similar problems ?
You can see in the picture that temperature is low, kernel has gone crazy and that battery is not being recognized. By the way, Battery healt is OK according to coconut.

OK..... after trying things like checking permits, reseting PRAM, checking the HD, etc, I decided to open my MBP and do some cleaning just in case this could be the cause. My MBP temperature has never been high so I didn't think this was going to do a difference.
At first sight, the inside of the MBP didn't look too dirty but when it was time to dust the fans, a lot of junk came out. Took out the memories and also dusted all the contactors.
Closed everything, started the MBP and guess what.... my battery is back and the Kernel is working fine. I even notice now that my memory is not leaking as fast as before. Hopefully the dust was the cause and that the fix will last.

  • Macbook 2008 4,1 serious problems after 10.6.8 and 1.4 firmware update

    I'm having a problem with my 2008 2.4Ghz Macbook. After doing a fresh install of 10.6.0 with a Retail DVD, the MB was working perfectly, absolutely no problems at all. I then ran Software Update and installed all the recommended updates to 10.6.8, and I only noticed in passing that there was a Firmware update to do too, as reported by Software Update. I ran that as well and, IIRC, it was applied after fully updating to 10.6.8 and after rebooting twice. The MB rebooted, ran the Firmware update (which seemed to complete fine, as the progress bar completed normally against the grey screen), then rebooted. Again, IIRC, after running the Firmware update, and I'm now at 10.6.8, I started a Repair Permissions and left the MB for a while. It was the next day, maybe 15 hours later, when I went back to the MB and it was in Sleep. I pressed a key to wake it and this is when the weirdness started.
    The screen was "fuzzy", sort of out of focus, though I could see the desktop, and what I could see was: the Disk Utility window open on Repair Permissions (which had completed normally) and several Vertical Segmented Bars running across the bottom part of the screen, at about the height where the Firmware Update progress bar was. These bars were filling in from left to right. IIRC, it may have looked a little like when you wake from Deep Sleep (or Hibernate, or whatever it was called). Like when you Wake from Sleep after the battery has run out and then you plug the AC adapter in.
    Anyway, before the Vertical Segmented Bars progress was completed, the screen went black. Pressing keys didn't bring the desktop back.
    I did a forced shutdown, reset the SMC, then rebooted. No startup chime. The Superdrive, hard drive and fans spun up, but the screen remained black. After a few reboots, I got a desktop back, and tried to reinstall from both an external HD (with Restored disk image) and the Retail Snow Leo DVD. Both times, the MB booted to the startup screen: with the external HD, I held down Option and chose the Snow Leo install; with the DVD, the MB started normally while I held down the C key. The boot started from the HD and the DVD, but after about 60 seconds, with Apple logo and the spinning "cog wheel", the screen went black. And seemed to shut down. With the external FW hard drive, the drive made a loud click, its LED went off, then it came back on after a few seconds, as if it had lost all power to it, then the LED lit up when power returned to it from the shut down MB. Anyway, the installs failed.
    I then attached the 2.4 MB to another MB (2.1) in Target Disk Mode and it booted fine into TDM. It showed up on the 2.1's desktop, I ran Check Disk and it checked out okay. I then looked under Startup Disk and the 2.4's disk was listed there, with 10.6.8.
    I then booted the 2.1 from the 2.4's disk and it booted fine. I ran check Permissions, and a huge list of permissions to repair came out. At this point, I've left things as they are. The 2.1 is booted from the 2.4, the latter used as external boot HD.
    I then replaced hard drive and RAM. Tried to boot from DVD and install, got to Apple logo and spinning cog wheel, but after about 2 minutes the screen went black.
    I then connected an external monitor and rebooted from the DVD. The external display received a video signal and I got to the Snow Leopard install screen. All this time the Macbook display has remained BLACK.
    I went to Disk Utility and reformatted the new drive, then started the installation, which completed fine. The Macbook runs normally connected to the external display.
    Any thoughts?
    Why would the Macbook display work fine at boot (Apple logo, etc.), but then cut out after about 2-3 minutes?
    Why would the Macbook screen remain black while I got a video signal on an external monitor?
    Does this sound heat-related in some way? I should note that while booting from the DVD and now installing Snow Leopard, the fans are going pretty fast.
    I just want to point out that this was an absolutely pristine, impeccable Macbook until these recent problems. It is in fantastic condition, none of the usual chips out of the top case and trackpad area. After the latest fresh install of 10.6.0 it was perfect upon reboot. Fast, perfect Airport and Bluetooth, FW and USB worked perfectly with a FW drive and USB mouse I hooked up. The update to 10.6.8 via Software Update seemed to complete fine.
    Then all the problems started AFTER THE FIRMWARE UPDATE.
    I don't know how much stock can be put in the firmware update being the cause of the problems, but the sequence here would bear that out. These are also somewhat unusual problems, at least in my experience.
    One of the odd things was when I first went to wake the Macbook after the firmware update: the "fuzzy", out-of-focus screen and the segmented progress bars. And it was just before the segmented bars completed progress from left to right that the display cut out and went black. And from that time on, I've had the aforementioned problems.
    Any ideas or links to similar problems would be greatly appreciated, e.g. possibly firmware related, or where the Macbook screen works but goes black after a couple minutes. And now that I've been able to connect to an external monitor, it would seem that the video signal is okay too.
    Thanks.

    Just to update.
    After leaving the Macbook unplugged and without battery for a few days. I reset the SMC and, with no battery installed, I've just now rebooted and:
    1) the first time, it booted, but no chime, and when the display turned on, once again I got the "out of focus" desktop AND the segmented vertical bars on the desktop (and the bars were filling in from right to left); the display went black after about 10-15 seconds;
    2) I shut down and swapped some different RAM, then reset the SMC again and booted without battery. This time I got the boot chime and the Macbook booted to the Apple logo screen and spinning cogwheel. After about 2 minutes, the cogwheel stopped spinning, as if to boot to the desktop, but then the display went black. The front light started to pulse after about 10 seconds, and the Macbook appeared to be in Sleep.
    3) I woke the Macbook from sleep by hitting a few keys and this time it went to the desktop. This is the first time it's gone to the desktop since the problem started.
    I had enough time to see that everything appeared normally on the desktop, such as the time and date, Airport was connected, etc. And then the display went black again, after about 10 seconds.
    At this point, I can now always get to the desktop, but the display goes black after about 10 seconds. I have just enough time to press a few keys and the Macbook does respond.
    4) I shut down and reinserted the battery. Here's where new problems show up.
    With the battery inserted, and the Macbook in sleep, if I hit a key, the DVD spins up as the Macbook is waking, BUT now the front sleep indicator light FLASHES (blinks) 5 TIMES. No beeps.
    The Macbook still gets to the desktop, like before, and the screen goes black after 10 seconds.
    I found some info on the Apple site re. 5 flashes (Article 21502):
    If you don’t hear beeps, but the sleep indicator light flashes five times when you start it up or wake it from sleep, its battery may need service. Take the battery to an Apple Authorized Service Provider, such as an Apple Retail Store.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article below.
    You can continue using your computer before you service the battery. Use a different battery, or connect the computer’s power adapter and plug it into a power source.
    Note:If you use your computer without a battery or with a faulty battery, you could lose all unsaved changes if it’s unplugged while it’s on.
    BUT, the battery is not defective, as it works okay in another Macbook.
    I should also point out that the problem with the 5 indicator light flashes or with the battery did not exist before the 10.6.8 and the Firmware 1.4 updates.
    Any ideas?

  • Airport problems after 8/12 airport and security update

    My MacBook Pro which had been working flawlessly since I got it last year received the airport and security updates distributed today. After the reboot my airport turns itself off after a few minutes and will not come back on and the computer seems to be running hotter than usual. Booting from a recent clone of the drive without the updates did not fix the problem and the card turned itself off a few minutes after the reboot and will not come back on.
    Anyone having similar problems after the update?

    Does your problem occur only when unplugged. If so, then maybe this update is for you: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro. Check it out, but use your own judgment in installing; not much info is provided.

  • After ICS update problems typing when plugged in, and battery life shortened, also Dolphin browser runs slow.

    I did the update and even did a factory reset, and I am having
    problems typing when plugged in to the wall charger, I get random keystrokes,
    from all over the keyboard, not just the keys around the one i want to press.
    Dolphin browser is running supper slow, especially when on Facebook. The
    battery life has lost at least an hour.

    Phones will do that when plugged in, esp with cheap chargers.. it has to do with the voltage and coveting and the digitized screen. You can google if you want more indepth there
    clear data out of dolphin,check for update? also read comments on the app maybe it sucks on ics
    battery stats got erased when you did a factory reset, give it a few charge cycles

  • HP Envy 14 (2020NR) - randomly missed keystrokes after wake from sleep (on battery power only)

    While running on battery power, sometimes when I wake from sleep, keystrokes will randomly be missed. It doesn't always happen, and I need to do more experimentation to figure out just how often it occurs. To fix it, I just reboot the computer (while still on battery power), and the problem seems to be gone.  It can also be fixed by simply plugging in to A/C power. I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    I have seen similar threads where people say that repeated keystrokes are missed, or rapid keystrokes are missed -- but so far those threads have remained unanswered, and my problem seems a little different in that no one else has mentioned a correlation with running on battery power. The problem never occurs otherwise, for me.

    If you are still under warranty you need to return the laptop for service. If not I am afraid it is a motherboard issue requiring replacement. You have done all the diagnostics a professional would do. The fact that the battery works in another computer tells us it is not the battery. 

  • Screen problem after wake up from sleep

    About three weeks ago I posted a problem with the display coming back to life after waking up from sleep. I said this happened after the 10.5.2 update. This turned out to be not quite accurate. I actually ran all the waiting updates, so I really don't know which one to finger.
    Today, I again ran the 10.5.2 update by itself. Everything is fine. Software Update then identified seven more updates to do, some familiar, some not. I have done all except one, one at a time, and have had no problems with the display coming on after the computer wakes up.
    One more to go: Leopard Graphics Update. This is v1.0 for this update, and here is my question:
    Before I run this update, and face another possible day-long re-install and re-update session, has anyone experienced the problem with the display remaining dark after running this update? I hate to do the update just to see if it causes the problem if there is some information kicking around about this.
    Many thanks again for any help or comment.

    Hi rohitgu,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I would suggest using the following article for troubleshooting the display flickering on your iMac. I would specifically Reset the system and Reset the resolution. I know you have done some good troubleshooting already. Have you reset the SMC as well as the PRAM? I also see that you checked the resolution on your computer, but have you started in Safe Mode and adjusted the resolution? Please use the following article as a reference.
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    I hope this helps,

  • Problems with 3.0 software and battery.

    Hi, I want to know if there is anybody that is having problems with their batteries after downloading the 3.0 update.
    I downloaded two days ago, and my ipod touch battery has run out twice and I didn't even uses it. I don't get it. I am leaving the country and I don't want to have problems with my battery. Any advice?
    Thanks

    I did a test to see if I was having problems with the battery on my 2G iPod touch and 3.0 s/w. It looks like I am not.
    I was able to watch 5 TV episodes which were 45 minutes each (total of 3hrs and 45 min) and 4 other episodes which were 24 minutes each (total of just over and a half). So I got about 5 hours and 15 minutes. This was with Wi-Fi off and sreen brightness set to half.
    This is less then the claimed time by Apple of 6 hours of video. But then there are other factors that could be affecting it but nothing like you are seeing.
    Do you have your Wi-Fi off or on? What about Bluetooth? What about notifications? I have all these turned off if I am not using them as they suck juice like crazy.

  • Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

    Updated safari and security update last night.
    Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
    After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
    Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
    Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
    Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
    Thank you

    Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
    The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

  • Authorization problems after patch 6 upgrade and re-install

    Hello everybody.
    I had a perfect working Visual Composer installation.
    After patching it, I got an 401 message, stating that I do not have authorization to view this page:
    HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't bring me much further. It seems to be an Internet Explorer and/or IIS 6.0 related problem.
    Of course I followed the very valuable note 804996, but the problem remains...
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanx.

    Hi all.
    I resolved my own problem.
    Additional to the permission settings as they are explained in note 804996, you must add the Directory Security - Authentication & Access Control, set to Integrated Windows Authentication.
    Otherwise Windows NTFS security will block you.
    Gr.,
    Marc.

  • BPM Worklist Problem After Setting Frontend Host and Port

    Hi all,
    I was following the EDG for SOA 11.1.1.5 and was encountering a problem with the BPM Worklist after setting the Frontend Host and Port. We have a topology that includes a load balancer that terminates SSL, two OHS instances, and two SOA instances on separate VMs. When BPM Worklist was loading, it was calling webservices internally through the load balancer, but WebLogic was expecting them as http://. It was not able to resolve the HTTPS port that was being sent from the load balancer through the 80 to 443 redirect.
    What the current EDG does not tell you, is that you have to also turn on "Enable Weblogic Plug-In" for WebLogic to use the OHS plug-in. I did it at the domain level, as all traffic will go through the load balancer. This essentially tells WebLogic that all URLs are https://
    Here is an exerpt from the SOA.out log file:
    <Sep 8, 2011 9:32:06 PM PDT> <Error> <oracle.soa.services.workflow.worklist> <BEA-000000> <<.> Service error.
    Internal Error; Service error occurs in IdentityService in method lookupUser.
    Refer to the log file that is configured for oracle.soa.services.identity for more details on this error and contact Oracle Support Services
    ORABPEL-10585
    Service error.
    Internal Error; Service error occurs in IdentityService in method lookupUser.
    Refer to the log file that is configured for oracle.soa.services.identity for more details on this error and contact Oracle Support Services
    Caused By: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: oracle.j2ee.ws.saaj.ContentTypeException: Not a valid SOAP Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
    What it is also missing, is that you should also set the SOA Infrastructure ServerURL mbean for the load balancer, to match the frontend host and port. Do this through Fusion Middleware Contol. Otherwise, you could encounter URL mismatches.
    I hope this helps someone else.
    I've asked Oracle to add this to the EDG for SOA. It's in the IDM guide, but not in any other EDGs.

    Thanks Josh. It helped me infact in 11.1.1.4 Enable Weblogic Plug-In is not required. But 11.1.1.5 I thing it is mandatory. Oracle should have a clear documentaion.

  • BEx web problem after upgrade: hierarchy variable and OK button

    Hi experts,
    we are busy in an upgrade project in which both portal and BW are being upgraded to 7.40.
    After upgrading we find several problems in which we get stuck.
    First problem: every query that has a variable on an infoobjects marked with a hierarchy does not work in Java Web.
    As soon as we press the lookup button the browser freezes.
    In ABAP web en Bex analyzer everything is OK.
    Our release is BW 7.40 SP5. For the Java things we had to upgrade Bex web components to 7.40 SP6.20 (BW Java and portal system).
    On OSS, SCN and google we cannot find any clues for this.
    We are preparing the OSS call for SAP but maybe anyone of you experts has faced the same issue.
    Any advice is welcome.
    Second problem:
    When a variable screen pops up and everything has been filled in, we have to press the OK button twice (instead of once).
    The first OK does a check/validate and then returns to the screen instead of proceeding when check is OK.
    Has 7.4 introduced a new setting we have to adjust for this?
    Or might this be a bug?
    Thanx for your reactions.
    Marco

    Hi,
    Regarding the variable screen button needs two click to execute, you will have to apply SP07 Patch 20 for only below 5  BI Java components for BI Java 740.
    For BI Java 730 , SP12 Patch 10 will solve this issue
    For BI Java 731,  SP12 Patch 20 will solve this issue
    This will solve your issue.

    Please make sure that you RESTART the Java server after applying the Patches.

  • Huge problem after Safari 3.1 and new security update

    I just installed the new SAFARI 3.1 as well as the security update and I am SCREWED! (unless a genius here can help out).
    After the install and restart my desktop picture is sligthy blown up but worse -it essentially floats when I move the mouse. As such, it can obscure the top of the image which "hides" the Apple pull down options AND I canot get the dock to reveal at the bottom of the frame. In a word - screwed.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks

    looks like I figured this out on my own - it was the zoom function that had somehow been activated.
    It all seems to be working fine now once I set that

  • Problem after OS4 Update- iPod song list deleted.

    After I upgraded to the new OS, I noticed in my iPod, at the bottom it lists these categories: "Playlists", "Artists", "Songs", "Videos", "More"
    When I go to songs, all my songs are no longer listed in this category, why? All the music I had on it is still there and I can still choose under "Artists". All music is present, but somehow they all disappeared from the "Song" category.
    Has anyone experienced this problem after the new update and how to solve it? Thanks.

    I fixed my song list now!
    What I did was:
    Plugged Iphone to computer, started itunes and clicked Iphone/music to display all music on it
    Selected ALL songs, right clicked, went to info screen.
    Under comment, i input a word and checked box so all songs would be updated with this word and then clicked OK
    Waited for my song list to be updated on the computer and for it to Automatically sync with my iphone and then all music came right back.
    Note: I have the latest Itunes, windows 7, all autosync OFF and manually manage music ON
