Problems waking up from sleep & also with auto shutdown

My Mac Mini is almost impossible to wake up once it is in sleep mode. Most of the time I have to hit the power button 15 to 20 times before it will wake up. That's problem number 1.
As a possible solution to problem number 1, I decided to use the scheduled shut down and wake up. I have set the darned thing about 10 times now (yes, saved it and locked it each time), and the settings are not saved in my Preferences. The shut down procedure has never happened after setting the preferences. That is problem number 2.
I have installed nothing on this computer - all applications are the standard Mac issue.
I had a similar problem with my 5 year old G4 Tower and hoped that this would have been fixed by now. Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks

I've had the same experience with several Macs, even back to using OS 8. This "comatose" condition is why I never "sleep" my desktop Macs & only sleep the laptops by closing the lid, never by choose sleep from the menu bar or allowing Energy Saver to put the Mac asleep. In System Preferences > Energy Saver I set the computer to never sleep, display to sleep after 15 minutes & hard drive(s) to sleep when possible. My screen saver comes on in 10 minutes.

Problem waking up from sleep after upgrading to Maverics

My Mac mini have a problem waking up from sleep.
I can see and move the mousepointer but the rest is black.

New MB AIR; problems waking up from sleep - tracks grey lines across screen when trackpad is activated

I bought this new AIR in Hong Kong 10/10/2011; it has taken to being unresponsive when I try to wake it from sleep. When I try to find and move the cursor by moving my finger on the trackpad, I end up drawing thick grey lines which express the movements of my finger.
I tried to get APPLE HELP but as I registered my AIR in Hong Kong, I can only reach HK telephone support - and SINGAPORE is not listed on the page (only HK, USA, New Zealand, etc). The problem is I am in Singapore right now.
Can anyone help? Thank you.

This Mac Pro is less than one week old so I shouldn't have tp reset the PRAM etc but I can give it a try.
By the way, here is the screenshot taken by my digital camera:
http://picasaweb.google.com/pse.no.spam/MacProDesktop/photo?authkey%3dJhw9Na8R6G axLfG9zUe92EA1AIs%234990364461229080594
It ONLY happens when it my Mac Pro goes to sleep for the first time. All subsequent sleeps are okay. I need to Shut Down my Mac Pro and boot it up again to reproduce the problem which will happen after the first sleep.
I can give rid of the lines simply by manually putting the Mac Pro back to sleep for a few seconds and waking it up.
Also it would appear that communications to the monitor gets reset after 10 seconds or so. (I see the DVI Icon appear on my Monitor). When that happens the lines disappear.
I also noticed that the lines will go away if I simply turn off my Dell 2407 WFP 24 inch widescreen LCD Monitor and Turn it back on. But I am not sure whether that is really fixing the problem or whether it would be fixed in any event simply by the passage of time as noted above.
Do you think it is my Monitor?
(i am using 1920x1200 resolution on a 24 inch Dell Widescreen Monitor)

Problems waking up from Sleep

Hi,
I have had my MBP for about six weeks now, and I have noticed a problem coming out of sleep for the past two weeks. Details below:
When I close the lid, the MBP goes to sleep as expected. Sometimes when I open the lid, I notice that the bluetooth mighty mouse has no response, although I see that the bluetooth icon in the menu shows it is connected. When I click "Turn Bluetooth Off", I get an infinite pinwheel spinning whenever I hover over the menu bar. If I close the lid to put the MBP back to sleep, it appears to go to sleep as expected -- but when I open the lid, the MBP appears dead and requires a hard reboot. After the reboot everything is peachy.
I would say that this has happened about a dozen times now (enough for me to post this question).
Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
TIA

Problems waking up from sleep mode

Recently my macbook pro has been having a lot of issues waking up. Probably 50 percent of the time the screen will stay black for about an extra minute after I hear the computer wake up, and just as often the mouse will lag really badly. The don't always happen together, I still have the mouse issue even if the screen turns on correctly. It doesn't matter if I use my mighty mouse or the touch pad they're equally effected and the only way to fix the mouse issue is to either restart my computer, or put it back to sleep and come back hours later (putting it to sleep then re waking it right away doesn't help) . Has anyone else had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it? thanks.

I just got finished talking in another thread about this issue, so I'll copy the information I gave in the other thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6765992#6765992
One of the issues with the new Mac notebooks is something called SafeSleep. When you close the comptuer, SafeSleep which writes all the contents of the RAM to the hard drive before the machine actually goes to sleep. While it's doing this, it's recommended that you not move the machine, because this could corrupt the data being written or cause data to be written to an unintended location. The machine isn't actually prepared for transport until the light starts pulsating, and that typically takes about 30 seconds to a minute depending on RAM usage.
The problem with SafeSleep is that if data is being written to the hard drive when you close the screen, SafeSleep encounters an error that causes the machine to hang in sleep.
There is a UNIX command to disable SafeSleep, and this will allow your machine to go to sleep immediately when you close it. It should also reduce the chances that your machine will die in it's sleep, but consequently your machine will lose the ability to swap batteries and recover from where it left off, SafeSleep is what allows that. However, I don't swap batteries, so it's not really an issue for me. With SafeSleep disabled, the machine can be ready for transport in 2-3 seconds.
To do this command, you'll need to get into Terminal, Applications > Utilities > Terminal.
The Unix command to disable SafeSleep is:
+sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0+
To re-enable SafeSleep, the command is:
+sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3+
You'll then enter an admin password to authenticate the change.
This command has fixed my issues with the machine dying in it's sleep, hopefully it'll work for you guys.

Spinning beach ball waking up from sleep 10.5.5 upgrade

I recently upgraded from 10.5.0 to 10.5.5 on my Powerbook 1.25ghz and there is now a problem waking up from sleep. I get an infinite spinning beach ball that locks the system. This problem has only occurred since the upgrade. Please fix update!

Seems to be a problem with the hard drive. Ok prior to 10.5.2. Affected drive: Fujitsu MHV2100AT PL 100gb

Hello, I have a macbook pro late 2011 15 inch with 4 gb ram. My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Is there a fix?

My macbook runs extremely slow when logging in after waking up from sleep, locking up and I am unable to use the keyboard. Furthermore, when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank and I sit here frustrated. Anytime i wake up my computer, my keys don't respond and I've waited at most 3 minutes untill i can type in my password. Even sometimes when i type in my password and hit enter, it takes forever to open up my mac. I have barely used any storage in my macbook, since i only use it for college, and I have run clamscan wiht no viruses showing... Any ideas?

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, or by a peripheral device.
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, 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 andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. 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.

Waking up from sleep with blue screen

Waking up from sleep with blue screen
Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
Any ideas?
Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?

Hi ChangeAgent,
FINDER> FILE > FIND
Use the FIND file from the Finder, not Spotlight, to find the folder called Receipts and click on this folder. Scroll down to see if you have this Security Update installed --
Security Update: 2006-008
it may be causing general problems to everyone.
I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
It's the very latest one.
The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)

SOMETHING is not right with this Security Update. Apple, please HELP!
iBook 14 G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

Why is my computer freezing up on return from sleep: also in Safari when browsing and Losing bluetooth connectivity. Have to power off and on to work....this with new Lion upgrade

Certain applications will not open after restart or waking up from sleep

My Macbook Pro running 10.9.2 won't open certain applications after restarting and sometimes after waking up from sleep. Google Chrome, Logic Pro X, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere seem to be the only progams affected. Firefox and Safari both work fine as well as many other applications. It seems to only affect programs that connect to the internet.
After a period of time the issue will resolve itself; sometimes after a few minutes and other times after several days. Then, these applications suddenly begin working again. I have also been having issues with my computer's ability to wake up. My best guess is that my computer isn't "fully waking up" upon restarts or when coming out of sleep mode. Both of these issues began around the same time and could be related. I've had both problems for several months through multiple software updates.
As far as troubleshooting goes I have done the following:
Safe Boot - (all programs work but are not effective due to lack of drivers being utilized in safe mode)
RAM/PRAM reset.
Disk Utility/Repair Permissions/Verify Disk
Any help or advice would be VERY appareciated.

Robin,
It sounds like your MacBook is logging out when the computer goes to sleep if you are getting the login window, which will of course close all your programs.
In System Preferences >Security, uncheck "Log out after.....minutes of activity".
See if this stops it from doing that.

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?

Laptop waking up from sleep, then turning off

After I installed snow leapord the only major problem I came across was my computer waking up from sleep mode. Once it wakes up, its on for about 2 minutes then everything turns off. The weird thing is it looks like it goes back to sleep because the macbook pro light where you open the lid is still pulsing, like its trying to wake up. The keyboard lights are off, screen is off. I can hear the disk spinning also. Once it woke up to freeze and go back to sleep.
Is anyone else having this problem?
& it only happens when it comes back from closing the lid while the laptop is still on.

Try resetting some of the hardware involved. See this Apple KB for details, etc.:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Can't hurt to try, and apparently this has helped others recently.

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.

W510 eSATA/USB2.0 combo port does not respond after waking up from sleep mode

Has anyone tried to connect external DVD/CD player or burner to the eSATA/USB combo port and experienced very slow system performance after waking up from sleep mode? It might takes minutes to launch an application program that usually takes just few seconds. My W510 can not even restart. It will just stop at the Thinkpad logo if I tried to restart after waking up from sleep.
The funny thing is if I moved the external DVD/CD player to the USB2.0 port in the back, everything went back to normal. I don't know if this has anything to do with the fact that the combo port has something to do with eSATA.
Thanks

It seems that this problem is unique to my system. I am hoping that one of the Mac Guru's will have at least a pointer in the right direction.
Thanks.
