Superdrive won't spin up after sleep (10.8.4)

I was forced to upgrade my OS to 10.8.4 (thanks Adobe), and now my Superdrive won't spin up after sleep (there's a disk in there). This ends up hanging all apps that would've accessed it, like Finder. Anyone know
--how to fix this, or
--what app I can use to at least force it to spin up (or eject)?
Thanks.

Thanks, Grant. I've got the menu eject installed now, and we'll see what happens next time it sleeps (or sits overnight, since I've got it set to never sleep). My hunch is that the menu eject will be as unresponsive as the keyboard Eject button, since it's "offline". ...crossing fingers...
Holding down the keyboard Eject button on startup will open it and get things working as intended, but interestingly, restarting and NOT opening it keeps it in it's unresponsive coma, even after restarting.
I've read that it was a firmware or something issue here, but I'll wait to try that until I'm not working. That's a bit out of my expertise and I don't want to risk making it unusable.
@Linc: No, it's not jammed, it's a software issue, where it works as intended until the computer goes to sleep . Then, upon waking, all apps that need to spin up the drives will hang because Superdrive doesn't spin up. (e.g. selecting "Open" in any app, or navigating in Finder. Disk Tools will sometimes see it, but bails on the Mount saying that maybe it's already in use).

Hard drive won't spin up after sleep

I just replaced my original 80GB HD with a SeaGate 250GB UltraATA HD. It went fine except for one thing. Now when the computer's been idle and the drives have spun down I can't spin up again. Spinning ball. Only option is hard re-start. I've disabled the check box in Energy Saver which works around the problem - drives never spin down. However, I'm looking for a solution which will allow the drives to sleep. Any suggestions?

Replace it with WD or Hitachi. My guess is it is firmware problem, though to be honest, those were all SATA drives last year (7200.9).

Memory RAM upgrade won't wake up after sleep mode

i just recently purchase a pair 16GB RAM of crucial CT2K8G3S160BM for newegg.com. Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.
CT102464BF160B 16GB and mine is CT2K8G3S160BM are this 2 same? but both same spec.

Macbook Air 2011 won't wake up after sleep

My Macbook Air 13" 2011 won't wake up after sleep. I've taken it to apple genies bar, but they offered to replace my logical board!
I bought the Macbook Air in last August. Why cannot they replace a new laptop???

One thing you want to do is "Repair Permissions" in Disk Utility before you upgrade to a new revision, and afterward do the same thing.
On occasion files will become inaccessible to the logged-in user and cause certain components of the OS from acting cooperatively. This can most often happen during/after an update. Also, by resetting permissions before an update, it is to ensure that the update process itself can accomplish all tasks.
You may also want to consider applying/re-applying the downloaded 10.7.3 "Combo Update" from the Apple.com/downloads/ section. After resetting permissions, of course.

1G iTouch won't wake up after sleep

1G iTouch won't wake up after sleep. When I plug it back into my laptop it does a complete reboot. Tried both reset and restore. Works fine as long as plugged in. It shows a full battery and drains properly but once it goes to sleep it acts like battery is fully discharged.

Is the iPod or the laptop going to sleep?
I can't tell for sure from your post.
When you restored, was it "as a new iPod" or from a backup?
What software is on the Touch?

Turn on! My mac won't turn on after sleeping!

Ever had a problem where your computer won't turn on after sleeping for a few minutes? (I've discovered that too many downloads cause this) Anyway... have you ever tried pushing the power button for one second? Try it! It's been working for me! Hope this helped!
(If it still won't turn on, try typing in letters randomly for one minute. Just type anything like: asdjhas)

Try resetting the SMC and PRAM

Thunderbolt Drives won't spin down and sleep in Mountain Lion

In Lion when I put my iMac to sleep, the external Thunderbolt Drives would spin down and sleep as well. In Mountain Lion, when I put my iMac to sleep, the external Thunderbolt drives do NOT spin down and sleep. Can anyone confirm or duplicate this issue?

I have the same behavior, however I'm using the TB to FW800 adapter. I have 6 FW800 drives in a chain. All would sleep when MBP was put to sleep under 10.8.5 (ironically fixed after 10.8.4, now broken in 10.9).
Seeing the same issue with native TB drives makes me think it's a problem with TB software in general.

MacBook Air won't wake up after sleep

I've been reporting sleep problems with my iMac for a while in the past. No-one here would take it seriously (probably hardware, your reports are incidents, no-one else has these problems) so I just went away and I disabled the sleep function of my iMac alltogether, and I won't select the "sleep" button in the login screen anymore, or select "sleep" from the apple menu. No sleep no problem, right?
*Well, I bought a Macbook Air three days ago, and in those three days I have had TWO occasions already where I wanted to wake the Macbook after sleep* (closed lid) and it wouldn't wake up. All I get is the rainbow mouse pointer and the Macbook is unusable unless I reboot it.
Mind you, nothing is connected to the macbook but the power cable, and I find it hard to believe that my Macbook Air would also suffer from 'hardware problems' like my iMac alledgedly is.
In all my time using OSX 10.4 on my 17" PowerPC MacBook pro I have never had any problems, but since switching to Intel Macs with 10.5 I have these "sleep" problems all the time.
What gives, and can I expect Apple to do anything about this problem that I've been having since I bought my iMac more than a year ago, and is now also spoiling my MacBook Air experience?

I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?

I have solved my sleep issue with some help from this forum. Intel iMac 20 and 24. Leopard.
1. Repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility.
2. Download 10.5.6 Combo: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1056comboupdate .html
3. Reboot, and install Combo.
4. Shutdown. Unplug all Firewire and USB connections, and iMac power cord. Wait 5mins.
5. Re-attach iMac power cord only, and reboot.
6. Optional. Run a day or so without Firewire and USB items to see if sleep allows waking after overnite sleeps.
I strongly suspect the Firewire controller is the suspect.

Macbook Air 13" Mid2011 won't wake up after sleep again after replacing logic board

I have replaced my logic board a few days ago for the issue of not waking up after sleep.
It was good when I was in store and the same night.
1 day later, when I put the laptop to sleep by clicking the sleep menu item, I cannot wake it up by all means in the next morning!!!!! Again!!!!!
I hooked it with a 22" LCD monitor via thunderbold to HDMI+HDMI to DVI. Will that cause issue?
I'm not sure when this will end, I cannot just keep replacing my logic board!

Windows 7 won't wake up after sleep

I'm got a new Dell XPS 9000 desktop running Windows 7.   The system is set up to automatically shut down the display after 30 minutes and then put the computer is sleep after 2 hours. That works fine, however, when trying to wake up the computer after sleep, I heard the fan starting up, but nothing else happens. No display ever comes up. I am forced to shut the computer off (using the power button) and then restart it. When it does start up, it's resuming from sleep mode.
There have been a number of postings about Windows 7/sleep problems, but they are all a little different.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks.

Just curious why drives would need to be updated.   This computer was just shipped to me.   Have not checked BIOS yet. What setting need to be set for sleep?
Hybrid sleep was already turned off.   Ran the powercfg -energy.   There were lots of errors. Not sure how to interpret this document.

Monitor won't wake up after sleep mode

Does anyone know how to fix the monitor, so it starts up after sleep mode? When my computer comes out of sleep mode the monitor doesn't always come on. Does anyone else have this problem and do you know the cause? The computer is only a few months old and hadn't had any problems.
Thanks,
Shaneil

Well my solution may not be the most cientific one but it works for me (at least until the real solution comes to the public)...
My computer has the problem that when it goes to sleep mode she never comes back... but it the screen that does not comes back... all the system is workin in behind (its like the brightness level was set on the less power possible) so i had to turn off the computer and had to do for a long time some times i had to wait that the computer cooled off a little and then try again to turn it on... I some tried things that the support page of apple said it could be... but did worked out... i dont know i think is a problem over 2 factors...
1. heating (the screen generates to many heat but, TO MANY!)
2. tiger os the OS "sleep mode" (it knows that the screen its heating a lot and tries to go to sleep to prevent over heating and damage)
So based on this i tried conecting a external monitor to the computer while she was unable to "awake" (or to show some thing in the screen)... and it worked whit no problem at all... so my conclusion was to prevent the over heating (1st factor) and the sleep mode (2nd factor)... so I deactivated the sleep mode setting up the computer to a never sleep mode... and to prevente the over heating well I use a low bright and when i need more brightness (to se the colors of what im doing or some thing like that) I use high brightness... when I away I set the brightness level to no brightness so there is no over heat and no sleep mode (cus if it is deactivated and it over heats it will go to sleep anyway...
Soooooo....
1. deactivate Sleep mode...
2. Activate a Screen saver...
3. And remember to contro your brightness your self... and turn it off when you are not using your computer...
well i hope it works for some body :P cya...

Satellite T230 - Won't wake up after sleep

I'm struggling with a problem on a new T230
After the machine goes to sleep, with Keyboard Wake enabled, it won't wake up no matter what I do. The only way out is to close it and restart or set it not to sleep, which undermines the main reason I bought it, the claims of long battery life
Any assistance will be most welcome

Hey,
Do you notice the same behavior when Wake on Keyboard is disabled?
Are you using the preinstalled Windows 7 from Toshiba?
To be honest its really strange that sleep mode doesnt work properly. I use often sleep mode and hibernation very often and it always works but I disabled Wake on Keyboard to safe battery power while its turned off and I have installed newest BIOS version from official Toshiba website.
Do you have newest BIOS version too?

E320 - wireless won't turn on after sleep

When i open lid after my laptop goes to sleep after i close it, wireless won't turn on (brand new laptop).
I fresh installed win7 x64 (with SP1 and all updates), all drivers and updates from lenovo page (power management, windows update "Enabling Wake on LAN from Standby for ENERGY STAR Version 4.0 for Windows 7", etc.....). I unchecked "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on wifi driver...
Bios is very small - didn't found stuff like "wake on lan", "flash over lan", etc.
In PROset/Wireless tool->Diagnose, it says Radio test-radio off....
Need little help
Solved!

Airport won't turn on after sleep

Recently purchased 2 new imacs(1-24", 1-20"). They are both having the same problem. When I wake them up from a powersave sleep the airport is turned off. This wouldn't be a problem except it wont turn back on. If I click to turn it on it doesn't do anything at all. If I go to assist me -> diagnostics it just says scanning... but never does anything else. The only way I can get back up and running is a restart. This is a problem because I run software that needs to send a backup to the server on shutdown. I have temporarily set the powersave up to 3 hours, but I would much rather fix the problem than work around it.

Hi, When the computer goes into sleep mode, it is like shutting it down, in that it halts any and all processes.
Because nothing is happening until it wakes back up, that is why Entourage won't get it's mail. MSN will disconnect whenever the computer is put to sleep (or more annoyingly, whenever it damned feels like it).
So yes, this is normal behaviour with sleep mode, and the only workaround I know of is to not have the computer sleep. (But the monitor can always turn off, and the hard drives spin down.)
