I don??t use Toshiba Power Save, I use the usual-normal XP energy and I even tried with Toshiba Power saver but not the software only from Start> Control Panel > but still the laptop does not wake up after I closed the Lid down.
Anyone that can help me with this issue?
thnx.

These are good news but could you please post a short instruction how you have solved this? I think it would be interesting for other users here in the forum!

ThinkPad T420i won't wake up after going to sleep.

My T420i won't wake up after going to sleep (using Fn F4 or close the laptop or time out). The computer was wiped clean and reinstalled with only Windows 7 professional and some Levono softwares. BIOS, windows and all drivers are up to date. The only way to get it back is hold the power button to reboot it. When it reboots, i get improperly windows shut down error.

I'd guess it's ACPI related issue. Check out ACPI driver and correspondent items in Control panel.
Energy report might be helpful too ("powercfg -energy" command within console window with administrator rights)

My Mac Pro (8-core) does not wake up after sleep

The most times my mac pro goes to sleep he won't wake up on hitting the keyboard or the power button. There is some noise as if the harddisc is waking up but the screen stays dark and the power light which first lightens up and down like in sleep modus is fully lightened. I have to make an improper shutdown.

Has anyone an idea what can be the cause for this behaviour?
Thanks a lot

Yesterday when I started up my Mac Pro I noticed that it sure seemed loud. I normally never shut it off, so I hadn't noticed that it was getting pretty loud. Then, for the first time since I've been having the wake up problem, it went to sleep as I was surfing the web. This time instead of just shutting it off and restarting, I decided to reset the SMC. I then figured since I had everything disconnected I'd take a look at the GPU and clean the dust out of it. After vacuuming, being real careful to not fry anything with static, I put it into a different slot than before. Plugged everything back in and started it up. First thing I noticed was the volume of the GPU fan was much quieter than it has ever been, no joke. I haven't shut it off in almost 24 hours and it hasn't gone to sleep at all. I've read other posts on the net that claimed the SMC reset and moving the card to a different slot didn't fix the problem for very long, so I'm hoping that isn't what fixed it. I'm hoping it was just dirty, as I have already had to replace 2 GPU's in 2 years and I can find many other things to spend money on. Now more than ever since the only card I'd want that Apple offers is $460. I hope this helps you, and me for that matter.

IMac (Mid 2011) Does not wake up after long sleep

Hi People,
Having issues with my Mid2011 iMac (21,5", 2.7GHz). Just upgraded to 12GB RAM (2x2GB original + 2x4GB). System runs fine, no issues.
But when system goes to sleep for a longer period (a few hours) it will not wake up again. Neither by Keyboard/Mouse interaction (Bluetooth as well as USB) nor by pushing the powerbutton. I also performed the PRAM and SMC reset as described in the apple support resources.
Feeling a bit lost. Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Addition:
Performed a test of the RAM with memtest. No erros found. Also forget to mention that the Mac has also Software updates and firmware updates installed.

Sorry if this has been posted before,
Basically done a bios update and now the laptop does not turn on, there is just a blank screen. Can hear fan/processor running but nothing else.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Macbook pro will not "wake up" after going into powersave mode?

I've tried everything. I hit the enter key any key for that matter, reclosing the macbook or even giving it a few moments. I've had some issues with it lately. Like a kernel panic last week, tried a disk utility repair option. Fixed some things but NOT this. any ideas? I think we had a recent update like two, three weeks ago this is becoming annoying. Is my macbook dying? The only time my macbook comes back to life is if I hit the power button for a few seconds. Then a grey screen appears along with a black screen then my regular screen.

Hello, Libracious,
It sounds much like your system may be entering what is referred to as 'Safe Sleep.'
Mac computers: Progress bar appears after waking from sleep
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757
Safe Sleep ensures that data stored in main memory will not be lost should the computer shut down due to the battery being drained completely . Prior to your computer entering sleep, Safe Sleep automatically saves the contents of main memory—such as desktop settings, open applications, and other work in progress—to the hard drive.
There are two situations in which a computer will enter safe sleep:
In the event the battery becomes completely depleted while the computer is asleep, the computer will shut down. But when a power adapter is connected or a freshly charged battery is installed, the computer can be restarted. Press the power button as if turning the computer on and it will automatically return to the desktop state that existed prior to entering sleep. This means that applications and files will remain exactly as they were prior to the computer being put to sleep, making it easy for you to continue with your work.
With the release of the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 supplemental update 2.0, a new feature was introduced to enter safe sleep after four hours of the computer being connected to AC power. This is an effort to comply with the European Energy Standards (ErP Lot6). This will only occur if there is no wireless or Ethernet activity and no activity from external devices such as USB storage devices.
Cheers,
Allen

MacBook Air will not power on after going to sleep

I have a 13" MacBook Air (2012) that has been giving me some issues on and off lately. The past month or two, it has had a few instances where it would take a lot of time and work to get it to "wake up" after the lid was opened. A few times I had to hold the power and reboot it as it was non-repsonsive and would not display anything on screen (black screen). Then a few weeks ago it was un-responsive for a minute upon opening the lid but I eventually got it to come alive but it was very slow to get going as there were quite a few programs running and it auto-rebooted itself. Once I logged in, it did it again but this time it got hung up on the apple logo on boot and was in a cycle of trying to reboot itself but failed at the apple logo. I eventually got it into recovery mode and went into Disk Utility. It found some problems with the hard drive and fixed them. After that, it booted up fine and hasn't given me any problems UNTIL... yesterday, it won't even attempt to power on at all. It was working fine yesterday morning and I was only using Safari (no other programs running) then I closed the lid and left for a few hours with it just sitting there. I didn't take it with me, drop it or anything like that (In fact, it's never been dropped). I just left it right there where I was using it and closed the lid. I came back in the afternoon and opened it up and waited for it to come on but nothing happened. It wasn't even powered on as I put my ear up to it and listened for noise. I've tried holding the power button, I've tried Option+Power, I've reset the SMC, but nothing happens. I don't know what else to try. I believe this model may have a recall on the solid-state-drive but I'm not sure that is it as it should at least power on and display a folder with a "?" mark if the hard drive was bad. I'm wanting to attempt to resolve this before I make a 1.5 hour trip to the Apple store so any help and suggestions are welcome.
Things you should know:
It successfully resets the SMC as the orange light flashes green for a few seconds before turning orange again.
I've tried the charger with 2 different plugs with and without the extending cord. I've also tried booting on battery power only.
The power button is not broke as it recognizes it while doing the SMC reset.
Thanks so much for all your help, Silas

does the little light on the mag safe dongle turn green to indicate it is charging?
Are you sure you mean green? Mine is orange when charging and green when fully charged - always been like this with the 3 macbooks I have owned.

Display doesn't wake up after going to sleep

On rare occassion, but often enough to be a hassle, my 20" apple display will stay black after I move the mouse or hit the keyboard after the computer has gone to sleep. My only solution is to hold the power button in for 5 second and force a restart. Why does this happen and what can I do to stop it?
Thanks!
Norm

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still did'nt work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

New Macbook air screen won't wake up after going to sleep - what's this?

When watching a movie on Netflix, for example, since I'm not touching the keyboard, the computer goes to sleep - sort of. The screen fades briefly and if I fail to notice quickly enough to touch a key, the screen goes black. The sound continues, however, and the keyboard is lit. I can't wake the screen back up. I have to restart it.
I've had the computer for less than a week.
What's going on - is my new MacBook Air defective or is there something I can do to stop this annoying glitch from occurring?

There is no need to diagnose such an issue, you just bought it and paid for service and 14 day exchange.
Return it for another unit, others here will concur on that fact.

My iMac won t wake up after going to sleep

Ok, here s my problem. When the computer goes to sleep, later I press a key, the monitor stays black, the fans spin up a bit, and then I have to pull the power plug cause nothing can wake it up...
what to do?

I'd like to post a reply in this forum because I've had a similar issue and I'd like to see what could come of a little discussion. This iMac is 2 weeks old, I purchased a 1 GB RAM chip (from Omni Technologies through Ramseeker.com) to upgrade from 512 stock. The RAM installed with no problems and I have to say; this is the easiest upgrade I have ever made, Apple's design for opening the computer is truly supreme.
So I read about 128bit vs 64bit data paths and got greedy for power realizing that my RAM was not matched. So I contacted Omni and ordered 2 matched 1GB chips and planned to return the 1GB chip I had previously purchased. Again, the RAM installed with no problems, but this time my computer would not wake from sleep no matter what. Exactly as Tomi K. describes; blinking light goes off, fan spins up, but the screen stays blank. Hardware tests and applications work fine, but the computer will not wake from sleep. I have been all over these discussions, resetting, unplugging, and trying different combinations of RAM etc. The only thing that works is the original combination of 1.5GB of RAM, which completely solves the problem. I'm baffled and I am curious... could this sleep issue really be related to the RAM even though everything else works and tests fine? Should I try to get another kit of RAM and see if that works? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Monitor does not wake up after powersave

Inside my app (Full screen mode) I use PostMessage
(HWND_BROADCAST,
WM_SYSCOMMAND,
SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM) 2); to turn off the monitor. However, when I use
PostMessage (HWND_BROADCAST,
WM_SYSCOMMAND,
SC_MONITORPOWER, (LPARAM) -1); (along with a mouse_event) it is not waking up
the monitor.
I use 2 monitors connected to GPU, Windows 8, directx9. Furthermore, I see that after sending the command to wake up the monitor (monitor still shows black) IDirect3DSwapCain9* is Null.

White Macbook has delayed start with a blue screen and will not wake when it goes to sleep

I have a late 2006 MacBook that I recently bought used. When I got it I was experiencing very long boot times. It would have the apple logo then go into a blue screen for about 5 minutes before loading to the OS. Nothing I did fixed the issue. I was told it was not a hdd or ram issue, but maybe a logic board issue. I then purchased a new hdd since that was the concensus online. After installing it I got the it to load right away when it booted from the install disc. However, after the OS was installed, it gave me the same problem. Also, when trying to update to Lion it would freeze on the apple logo with the spinning dots. I did not try to install Lion on the new hdd as I wanted to use the machine and it was working with minor inconviences. I then read about resetting the system by taking off battery, holding power for ten seconds, then replacing battery and restarting. This actually fixed the problem. I was able to install Lion and everything was working perfectly. I then replaced the topcase becuase the one on the computer was scratched and dirty. After I did that I was unable to load anything. It would not go into lion or anything else. I fiddled with the command lines and nothing. I had someone else who spoke unix fiddle with it and I was finally able to get it to boot from the install disc. After doing a clean install, from erasing and creating a new partition, I am back to square one with a long boot time and not waking from sleep. This time the battery trick is not working. I have done the PRAM reset and disc repair and permission repair. All to no avail. I know that it has the capacity to work because it did. Please help me, I really want this to work. Thanks.

It seems thst the MBP is not recognizing the internal HDD. Look at this link and probably the section 'Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility' will be applicable:

Lenovo 11s- Screen Does Not Wake Up From Sleep

My Lenovo Yoga 11s does not wake up after putting it to sleep. I will press the power button multiple times, but the screen stays black. To turn it on I have to press the power button for 10 seconds so it completely shuts off, then I push the power button to turn it on. However when I do this all my tabs and windows are closed, which is very inconvenient.
Please help me find a solution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
