Sleeping, waking problems

I purchased my macbook fourteen months ago and only began using it regularly when my imac was being repaired.
After using it in mornings, I close the lid and the sleep light comes on. In afternoons, I raise the lid, the sleep light goes off, but the screen stays black. I can only get the on screen by restarting via power button. this problem occurs on a regular basis.
The battery is not the problem and I've disconnected external devices.
Also, when I put it in sleep mode with the lid up, it sometimes awaken by itself.
Thankfully, I have applecare, but they haven't identified the problem. I would be very appreciative of information I can relay to the repair person.

wow i used to have the same problem. i sent it into apple and they had to replace like a logic board or system controller?? but since yours is over a year old it has no warranty unless u got applecare i guess u would have to pay... ;(

Mac mini sleeping/waking problems

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing constant issues with my mac mini.
To awake it from sleep I have to push the power button, the screen goes grey with a progress bar display - not unlike on my macbook pro when resuming from low batteries - and all the drives connect to it appear to have been ejected incorrectly.
I tried the usual troubleshooting steps, bar resetting smc, so far.
My system details:
Mac mini 2012 | 16GBram | 2.7 Ghz Quad Core | Mavericks 10.9.5
Any suggestion highly appreciated

I took it to the Apple store Genius bar today - my 5th trip - and they did just what I'd hoped. They replaced the Mac Mini with a brand new machine.
This is why I buy Mac/Apple!
Excellent new, sorry you had so much trouble on the way. And yes, Apple Stores are awesome!

Problems going to sleep, waking up, restarting, etc

I just bought a refurbished Macbook...and we are already developing an intense love/hate relationship because of it's eratic sleep behaviors. So this morning I tested it by trying various methods of sleeping/waking/restarting.
Here are my morning Macbook activities:
1: Macbook is sleeping, I open it...it appears to be functioning...then 5 minutes later, I get the "you need to restart your computer" box (the one with all the different languages)
2: Restart--Freezes on blue screen with rotating wheel
3: Turn off/on using power button
3: Put to sleep using Option/Command/Eject; wake using power IT WORKS!!!
4: Put to sleep by closing lid; open to wake and it seems to work! I try to shut down using the Apple menu...and I get the spinning beachball...
5: Turn off/on using power button
6: Reset PRAM
7: Put to sleep using Option/Command/Eject; wake using power
IT WORKS!!!
8: Put to sleep by closing lid; open to wake...seems to work but the spinning wheel appears on the desktop and I have no mouse...so I have to restart it AGAIN
9: Put to sleep using Option/Command/Eject; open to wake;
IT WORKS!!!
10: Put to sleep using Option/Command/Eject; wake using power...seems to work but when I open my airport menu, it freezes and the menu becomes unaccessible and will not disappear...restart AGAIN
11: Put to sleep by closing lid; open to wake...so far, so good...
This basically covers every issue my Macbook has had in the last week, except for the three or four times it just won't start and sits on a black screen, going through some script indefinitely...yeah...that one didn't repeat today.
Yes, my software is up-to-date...
Yes, I reset my PRAM...
Yes, I reset the SMC...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hi -
I'd try booting to your Install DVD while holding 'D' ...this will launch the Apple Hardware Test.
If things are fine here, then start to that DVD again but this time hold down 'C'. When you finally have a 'top menu' bar across the screen, use it and launch Disc Utility and then verify and repair both permissions and the disc itself.
On restart, reset your SMC once again...

SLEEP/WAKE PROBLEM on my Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Greetings!
I love APPLE. So APPLE, please do try to help me out here...
The first problem I encountered was a faded translucent bluish/grayish rectangular line stretching from top to bottom suddenly showing up. I've shown this to our local APPLE technician and my LCD was replaced. Nice job here APPLE!
Now for the latest problem occurring as I'm writing this post. When I have my laptop fall into sleep, for say at least 5 minutes, and attempt to wake it up.. the user interface doesn't show up. The screen remains black and that pressing any key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse will automatically restart the laptop always (I do hope my internal hard disk won't be damaged from this reoccurring dilemma of mine). I've observed that this current problem started after my LCD was replaced.
Does anybody have the same problem as I have? If so, please do give me possible solutions for this? I've already talked with our local APPLE technician and told me that there might be some problems with the motherboard inside that may opening the laptop might be necessary.
Still... No worries APPLE (as of yet), I still love it even though it's my first time using such a wonderful invention of technology.
Fathom Graphis

Hi. This is Fathom Graphis again.
Reading one of the threads that mentions an individual asking for help from an Apple certified technician with a problem that's quite the same as mine, I followed the instructions given by this Apple technician that there may be an application or some device activated in the "SHARING" folder (under *System Preferences*) that's causing the problem of the laptop not waking up and requiring hard reset to get back to the Mac OSX user interface.
So, I checked my sharing folder and found that my *"PERSONAL WEB SHARING"* option is activated (Under the SERVICES menu). I deactivated (unchecked) it and tested my laptop sleeping function by shifting the PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP arrow to 1 minute and letting the laptop sleep for 10 minutes. After which, I moved the mouse and the MAC OSX User Interface came abruptly and the laptop didn't restart. I tested it again by letting it sleep for another 10 minutes and waking it up through mouse click and the MAC OSX User Interface showed up abruptly and the laptop, again, restarted.
So far, I'm still putting my laptop under observation. But I just want to inform everybody with their supposed respective SLEEP/WAKE problems on their Macbook pros (or Macbooks) that this may solve their issues (though I provide no guarantees, okay? I'm just a common user who happen to find a solution accidentally).
Still I want to address APPLE that certainly, letting your laptop sleep and waking it up and restarting itself after with the Personal Web Sharing activated (or checked under System Preferences > Sharing > Services) is indeed a "bug" that needs to be fixed. So hopefully, the people at APPLE would try to resolve such an issue as soon as possible (because, to my knowledge, sudden restarts of Hard Disks may cause data damages). God Bless You All.

Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) sleep wake problems under Yosemite

Hi,
Ever since I installed Yosemite on my MBP (details in the screen shot below), I've been getting Sleep Wake problems. At night, I simply close the lid of the laptop, leaving all applications running, and in the morning I wake it up. This worked fine under Mavericks on this laptop, but since Yosemite, every time I open the lid, I've had problems. Initially, I'd open the lid and the machine would restore from what looked like a deep sleep (screen would get an alpha layer on it, and the little progress bar would appear, as though it's waking from the battery running out). I ran Disk Utility, which found and repaired an issue on the disk (can't remember the details, unfortunately), and ever since then, when I open the lid, I have to hit the power button to get the machine going. It restores in about 15 seconds (nice and fast), and it does re-launch all of the applications I had open, but the machine will also show a little system alert, indicating a "Sleep Wake Problem". Each time I see it, I submit the issue to Apple. Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to copy the crash log from this morning, but I'll do that tomorrow and append it to this thread. Meanwhile, if anybody is having a similar experience and can isolate the cause, I'd love to know. A few variables which might matter:
* I have a Thunderbolt external hard drive which I use for Time Machine. Each night, I eject the disk before shutting the laptop down (I bring the machine home with me each night). My laptop used to have issues ejecting external disks, which I traced (thanks to this board) to an issue with attempting to put an external drive to sleep (I think that was the issue). I haven't had any issues since that time.
* The apps I have running all the time are Mail, Safari, Coda (text editor) and VMWare 8, which is running a Windows7 VM. That's been my environment for years now, yet the sleep-wake issue only started since upgrading to Yosemite.
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Ben,
Another sleep issue and adding to your post... My MacBook Pro (2.7ghz early 2011)
Leaving apps open and closing the "lid" and then going to bed... several times thru out the night my MacBook will start to wake up. The optical drive spins up (DVD is in the drive), the hard drive fires up, I think i can see the screen glow ("lid" is still closed). Then it sets itself back to sleep (must detect the closed lid).
Did not do this with Mavericks or other earlier OSs.
I have not begun to try to figure this out... today is the day! lol.

SOLVED : Lenovo X60 spontaneous sleep mode problem.

The problem is the flat panel screen! (either t-conn board and/or backlight). Viewiz HV121X03-100 Part No. 42T0359 FRU No. 13N7205. LCD : Wistron P/N:60.4Q443.001
I have 2 identical of Lenovo X60 laptops, with swivel-type-hinge at center. One has this spontaneous sleeping mode problem. I thought it was the Inverter problem - WRONG. Next some say it's the motherboard, CPU fan & heatsink, BIOS updates wrong also. All of these assumptions and theories are wrong diagnosed.
Solution replace the flat panel screen (very expensive because it has Wacom digitizer glass on top of the screen and board at the bottom.)

Sleep/ALS problem even AFTER Apple Store ALS replacement!

So I've had this sleep/ALS problem for months; wave my hand near the left ALS and display goes black. Gets better after PB has been on for a while. I like my office rather dimly lit (hey, a little "mood" lighting) but I have to have it lit up like an operating theater in the morning to keep the blasted PB running...
Anyway, we recently got an Apple Store in town, so (with one week left in warranty) I took it in; they ordered new ALS sensor, last Saturday they replaced it.
Worked great until...this morning same problem!! Now what!? I'm going by this afternoon to speak with them.
Needless to say, I've reset PMU, PRAM, safe boot, and just about everything else one can reset. Sigh. I thought sure a replacement hardware sensor would do it.
Oh yeah, the sleep light also quit working, except sometimes. These intermittent problems are sure a pain!
And, like others w/this problem, keyboard backlighting has disappeared from Preferences. Strange.

repair was not done properly, get them fix it again or try another service place.
maybe call Apple customer relations to complain.

Some sleep related problems and questions..

Hi all,
I have an iMac and a macbook pro which do not go to sleep automatically after their configured 20 minutes! Manually I can put them to sleep, no problem. Display sleep no issue
I've tried to check that no tasks are running and at least on the laptop there are no peripherals connected. Also nothing shows up in the console. It looks like in the energy settings that the dark grey lines go past the 20 minute mark/slider to never. It's quite possible that there is a background task running that blocks auto sleep but wouldn't that show up in the console?
Is there some program that could show me which program is stopping the automatic sleep? It's frustrating because I also can't use the "wake for network access" because the computers will wake up and not go back to sleep!
I've read the support document . I'll try safe boot to see if that helps narrow it down.
thanks for any and all advice

Just look through the log and see if something doesn't look quite right to you. Like I said, there are many of us who have this issue and apart from something obvious, I don't know of anyone who's solved it.
With PleaseSleep, you can tell it to exclude whatever App or process you want, meaning it won't sleep, or if in doubt, or for something that you only perform irregularly and want to ensure the computer stays awake for, turn it off with a click of the mouse until you're finished doing it. It will force the computer to sleep otherwise. It's a good solution that actually works.

Problems sleeping, waking up from sleep

My MacBook sometimes behaves oddly when sleeping.
1. Often, the sleep light is solidly lit for at least several minutes before going into the pulsing mode. This can happen when I close the lid or when I choose sleep from the apple menu. Sometimes it never goes into pulse mode, at least not for 15 or more minutes.
2. If I open the lid while the light is solid, the screen will usually (always?) stay black. Closing the lid will sometimes make the I'm-waking-up optical drive noise. When that happens, sometimes the backlight will go on (while the lid is still closed), sometimes not. If it doesn't go on while closed, the backlight will sometimes come on when the lid is opened, but sometimes it stays dead.
3. If I cannot persuade the machine to wake up, and waiting doesn't cause it to go into pulse mode, a few times quick presses on the power button has woken it up. Otherwise, I have to power cycle.
4. Sometimes when the machine does wake up, the screen stays almost entirely black. Pressing the brightness-increase keys (Fn-F2, in my case) has no effect. I can very faintly see things on the screen, so I can (for example) see that apple-tab apple-Q is indeed shutting things down. (The list of barely visible icons gets shorter.) Hitting a save/cancel dialog is almost impossible, as is finding shutdown on the apple menu, so I usually end up power cycling.
5. Sometimes, not always, when the machine wakes up the screen is several notches down in brightness, so I have to bump it back up (Fn-F2). I run it on the highest brightness.
I have reset the PRAM, NVRAM, and SMC. Firmware and OS are up to date. (1.1, 10.4.9).

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
If the restart message is one with several languages, that's a kernel panic. It is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, and within hardware, memory is often the issue.
First thing I would do is to run the Apple hardware test. Try rebooting holding the D key down. If that doesn't bring up the AHT, insert the first OS X disk that came with your system, and reboot holding the D key down (or hold the alt/option key down and choose the AHT). Choose the extended test when prompted. Does that show up any hardware issues?
You can also run a program like rember to test the memory. Run it overnight: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/
This kernel panic FAQ is pretty thorough: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
You can also try reseating the memory to see if that makes a difference (take it out, put it back in, to ensure a good connection).

System crashes after waking; problems with distnoted, graphics chip error

I am running 10.3.9 on a Dual 1 GHz G4, with 1.5 GB SDRAM, a GeForce4 Ti 4600 LCD display, and a LaCie 1394 external drive. I have recently started to put my computer to sleep at night, rather than leaving it running 24 hours a day (I also installed sleepwatcher, to allow me to put my computer to sleep remotely, and anacron, to allow the nightly system maintenance jobs to continue to run). This was working fine for about a week, but for the last two days, when I woke my computer up in the morning, I got kernel panics after a few minutes. First some aspects of the display would start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, some text that I typed not showing up, icons in the dock looking speckled, etc.), then some applications would stop responding, and then a minute or so later I would get the feared kernel panic message ("You need to restart your computer" in multiple languages).
This problem only seems to occur after the computer has been asleep for a long time (I've only experienced it after it's been asleep for 12 hours or so, and not when it's only been asleep for a few minutes). The only thing I can think of that I've changed in the last few days is an AppleScript that mounts my external LaCie drive (using "do shell script diskutil mountDisk ...") before backing up my files - using FoldersSynchronizer - then putting my computer to sleep (before I was never UNmounting this drive, so I didn't have to mount it in the AppleScript - I was still using the script to back up the files then put the computer to sleep).
I have tried running Apple's Disk Utility (both to repair the permissions, and to repair the disk), DiskWarrior (to rebuild my startup disk), fsck, and TechTool Deluxe. None seemed to reveal any major errors except the "Surface Scan" in TechTool, which failed, presumably because of media defects in the disk (but my understanding is that fixing this would require reformatting my disk, something that I only want to do as a last resort).
My system.log shows the following, from the time I woke my computer to the time I restarted (I've highlighted some suspicious-looking lines). It seems like the problem might either be occurring in distnoted, or with the graphics chip. Any thoughts on how I can determine the cause of the problem?

Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem? I will continue to test the effects of changing various aspects of my configuration, but since I can only get the problem to occur once a day (after my computer has been asleep for a while), it might take me a few days or weeks to track the problem down through blind trial-and-error.
Thanks!

After a little experimentation, I've managed to narrow the problem down a little, but still haven't resolved it. My computer still crashes almost every time I wake it up after a long sleep (multiple hours). Things work fine for a few minutes, but then some aspects of the display start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, text becoming distorted, etc.), then some applications start crashing and the system hangs. Sometimes I get a kernel panic, but not always - but I always need to reboot to solve the problem.
The errors in the system log files differ from crash to crash, but the one thing that seems to be consistent is that I get a "Graphics chip error". Is this usually a hardware problem, or can it be due to a software problem? Sometimes this graphics chip error is the first error to occur, although sometimes an application will crash a few seconds before the graphics chip error is recorded in the system.log.
In my original post, I suggested that the problem might be due to an AppleScript that mounts an external drive. I have since determined that this is NOT the cause of the problem.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Does your eMac with Leopard have a sleep/wake problem?

My question is,does anyone with an eMac running Leopadd 10.5.8 have a problem waking the compiter after putting it to sleep for an hour? I am having this problem with my eMac after upgrading from Tiger which didn't have this problem. Thanks

Hi, not here...
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: eMac
Model Identifier: PowerMac6,4
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Processor Speed: 1.42 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.2f1
If it did OK in 10.4, then I suspect some 3rd party App or Extension.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

SLEEP MODE PROBLEMS!!! HELP!

Is there ever going to be an update for mac os x v10.6.4 snow leopard that fixes the slow sleep problem? Since the update my macbook takes 45 seconds to go into sleep mode after I click on sleep in the top left corner. Is there any other option other than waiting for a new update?

As I've just learned, this is a matter of what hibernation mode your model uses.
See here: http://www.macworld.com/article/53471/2006/10/sleepmode.html
With this terminal command you can see what your machine uses:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
For fast sleep, it should be 0.
My problem is, however, that my Mini Mac keeps waking up from sleep. Very annoying.

C4580 Sleep/wireless problem

I have spent the better part of today browsing your boards about the c4850, and myself like many have had the problem where it would not wake on contact by the computer, as well as the buttons and screen remaining unrespeoncive. Well i solved the first problem by setting my printer to a static IP, (or perhaps it was the update i installed on the printer) either way the printer will print now, but i still have the problem of the keys being unresponcive, meaning i cant scan things or make a copy with out power cycling the printer. Any suggestions? anyone else have this problem?

There is a bug in the C4580 firmware that prevents the printer from waking after it goes to sleep. Here is the official HP statement on the issue:
--- Start ---
“The Hewlett-Packard company is aware of the issue that occurs on the Photosmart C4500 series and Photosmart C4500 series. We are currently investigating a potential fix and update to address this issue.”
Please subscribe to this thread if you would like to receive notification on an update in the future on this issue.
--- End ---
The problem is random in nature and unrelated to the printer's connectivity firmware. Setting a static IP address for the printer, while it may seem to have resolved part of the problem, doesn't really address the issue.

10.10.2 after sleep display problem

I upgraded to 10.10.2 as soon as Software Update advised me of it but now have a problem. After waking my Mac Mini from sleeping the display goes awry with font and images out of sync. The only way to cure it I have found is to restart. Anyone else with this problem? Any suggestions?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Sleeping/Waking an Xserve G5?

I've been doing a bunch of testing recently and am having an (interesting) problem trying to get an XServe G5 to wake from sleep. Sleep mode clearly works (as the power light will pulse, as expected), but every mechanism that I use to wake it fails.
Waking with ARD will attempt to start the machine, and fail after 10 or so seconds saying communication failed.
Sending the magic WOL packets through perl scripts, 3rd party tools, and other ways all fail.
Diagnostics:
I have verified that the nodes are (apparently) configured for the Wake-on-LAN access:
root# systemsetup -getwakeonnetworkaccess
Wake On Network Access: On
I have also verified that the magic packets are sent properly using tcpdump to inspect the packets. They are sending the magic sequence properly.
Figuring that the XServe G5 may only listen for WOL packets on en0, I tested only that port. (For what it's worth, en1 also failed the waking process.)
The node can be woken up by pressing the power button quickly. The restore DOES work, just not the WOL portion.
Has anyone had any experience with this problem?

You don't say what third-party tools you tried, nor whether
any of the methods you tried work on other non-Xserve Macs.
Just for curiosity, so that we know we are starting from a
good test basis, try the free Wake-on-Lan utility:

I've never tried it on my Xserve G5, but it does work on the
other Macs on our LAN.
