Toshiba Satellite L505D wont go into sleep mode. Freezes before power light blinks yellow.

When i try to put my laptop into sleep mode by closing the lid, it freezes before it enters sleep mode. i get a black screen when i pick the lid back up, and the power light stays green, instead of blinking yellow like its supposed to. Last time i remember it working properly was around June 6th, i took my laptop to my buddy's place so we could watch the new Halo 4 trailers and i know it worked properly on both the car ride over and the car ride home. anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

Let's make some experiments.

Satellite A300 wont go into sleep mode - it boots up again

My Toshiba Satelitte A300 is simply refusing to sleep - it will sleep (the amber light glows and the screen is blank) and after about 10 seconds all the lights come back on and the fan starts going.
This happens when the laptop is plugged in and running on battery.
I have read about numerous sleep problems with the Satellite series and the only general advice i seem to have picked up is to install all updates which is what I have done and the problem still persists!
I would be very grateful if anyone could help!

well.. i got the same problem often .. but i suppose it's caused by operating system not by hardware. I makes no problems while using Linux, but it does while i'm in Windows Vista ;> I think it may be caused by some software activiti that is not stopped by the OS while you force it to sleep ;) i've seen that , i.e. unplugging anything from USB drive or the net cable while "loading" the sleep mode turns the screen black and makes the PC active in some way.

HT201412 My ipod touch (3rd gen) is not responding at all. It wont turn off. It wont go into sleep mode. it wont connect to the computer or anything at all. also does not responed to touch. What do i do to make it work again?

Hi. My ipod touch (3rd gen) will not turn off or resond to anything and will not connect to a computer. the screen will not go into sleep mode and i dont know what to do. help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1338 Mac pro wont go into sleep mode

My mac pro has to physically be restarted everytime it should go to sleep. I run it through a flat screen TV and when I go to sit down and use my computer the screen is black and the indicater light on the front of my computer is solid, not flashing. Also I had my computer set up to turn off around 1 am and automatically turn on before I woke up in the morning, I have since turned this schedule times off but my computer is still following the schedule. I updated to today, but all this started after the most recent update. The only way for my computer togo into sleep mode is to physically push the button on the front of the MAc Pro tower.

System Preferences/Energy Saver - set Computer sleep to never. At times the OS fails to detect activity and allows sleep even though there is something going on.

MBP wont go into SLEEP mode!

Until the past week or so my computer will not go into sleep mode. It will black out like its going into sleep mode than after 3-5 seconds it will wake back up. This is becoming very irritating since I want to run my computer in 'clamshell' mode while I've been using my Dell external display.
Computer was fine for past 2 months up until about 5 days ago. If it makes a diff. i have an iphone hooked up with the update and I did the most recent MBP updates.
any help?????

I am having a similar issue with my new SR 17" MBP. it will shut off the display, and will appear to be trying to sleep, only to spring back to life. The only thing that makes a difference seems to be Airport. If Airport is off, the machine sleeps fine. if it's on, very rarely will it sleep. I also checked the console and keep seeing something about an "mdnsresponder error". It doesn't matter whether i try to sleep the machine by selecting sleep in the apple menu, using the power button, or closing the lid. They all give the same result.
Here's my thread that I posted a few days back.

IPhone 3gs wont turn back on once it goes into sleep mode!

2 days ago my iPhone 3gs (OS 6.0.1) has gone completely wacko on me and i'm completely frustrated! I have my phone set to have the screen shut off after 5 minutes. Usually, to just reaccess the phone I just simply hit the home button. Now, if I let it go into sleep mode, the phone WILL NOT come back on! I went online and did some research, and it suggested holding the home button and the sleep button for 10 seconds to get it to come back on. It works most times, but sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to come back on, and when it does come back on it takes forever to load up. But the whole thing happens all over again when it goes into sleep mode. My phone is fine as long as I set it to never go into sleep mode, but it is killing my battery. I need to be able to put it into sleep mode as I have to be able to go all day without charging it at my job. PLEASE help...I don't know what's going on with it. I have never done anything to it (jailbreaking, illegal stuff, etc.) and I do all the updates that it asks to do.
Please please help!
Jennifer.

Remove "Boom" and test.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

Fritz box does not set Store.e USB3.0 1TB 3,5" into sleep mode

Hello
I like to use the HDD on a Fritz.box als USB-Storage.
The box allows to switch the HDD into sleep mode.
But the HDD does not want to do this.
How (and where) I can change the settings?
Thank you
Greetings from germany

Hello JoeLouis
+Why are you so sure that there must be an function or setting?+
please google for *"external hdd spin down"*
You see, that there are many people who are talking about this.
Some like to stop spin down, some like to shorten the time and some like to use it (like me)
+So either this HDD is not compatible for such usage or its does not provide such functionality.+
that was my question: i thought in toshiba support forum s.o. could tell me.
+In your case I would recommend testing another HDD maybe an 2.5 HDD which needs only an USB cable without additionally power cable.+
I know. First bought a Stor.e 2TB 2,5" for this, but the usb port of the fritzbox does not have enough power for it. So I tried touse the 3,5 " Version.
+A colleague told me that exactly this HDD could do so.+
He will bring it to me, maybe we change the hausing ( he dont like the spin down option )
I try to get some Info somewhere else.

Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 - Are there any newer BIOS Failure updates? Last update was 2011

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 and got the BSOD. I have searched the forums and found a post;
BIOS Update Failure Satellite L505D-S5965
I tried creating a "Boot CD-ROM Installation Method Create CD-ROM Now but the webpage is no longer there.
I am having the exact same problem as the above post. The keyboard is not functional once you get past the Toshiba screen.
I followed the following instructions:
‎04-07-2011 06:57 PM - Reflash for INSYDE BIOS.
Using a separate computer if necessary perform the following:
1) Download your notebook model's BIOS "*.exe" file from the Support section. Mine was: slm0v150.exe
2) Extract the files from the "*.exe" file.
3) Locate the file that ends with ".fd", this is your actual BIOS file.
*(for different brand BIOS's the file may have a different extension such as .rom or .bin)
4) Rename your BIOS file to: "BIOS.fd" without the quotations.
5) Format a USB Flash Drive to (FAT or FAT32) file system.
6) Copy your newly named "BIOS.fd" file to the root directory of the Flash Drive. (Not inside any folders)
On the corrupt computer perform the following:
7) Remove the Battery, AC Adapter, and Hard Drive.
8) Plug the Flash Drive with your "BIOS.fd" file on it into any USB port.
9) While holding the Fn and F key on your keyboard:
a) Plug the AC adapter into your computer.
b) Hold the Power button until the computer turns on.
c) Release the Power button and both keys once you hear the fan turn on.
10) Observe your Flash Drive's LED's blinking, wait until your computer turns off and remove the Flash Drive.
11) Replace Battery and Hard Drive.
12) You're computer should be all set!
I can punch F2 to enter BIOS or F12 to enter Boot Manager, but the system doesn't respond to keyboard in either.
I attempted to flash BIOS off a USB as described in the above mentioned post, and it never worked. My flash drive lights up and then goes off. The BIOS version is the most current available according to Toshiba, 1.5
When I removed the HD and don't have a Recory disc in the DVD drive, I get:
"PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable
hPXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
This is the same with the BIOS flash drive or without."
I have searched for any follow ups beyond the above post and can't find any. I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
Kindly,
LaptopJ

Week old IMac G5, Version 10.5.2, goes into "sleep" mode randomly....

My sister has a brand new IMac G5, OS X version 10.5.2, the screen randomly will go black, it still stays on, it's like it goes into sleep mode, but force quit wont work, nothing works, restart is required in order to get out of it.
On another note, when she restarts the computer, and sometimes when she's just starting it up not on a restart, the computer will have colored lines running down the whole screen, when it gets to the blue loading screen, it freezes there, where once again it requires a restart. Problem is, the computer is less than TWO WEEKS OLD. I've had my mac for years and cant figure out the problem, anyone that knows of, or has had similar problems and had them fixed that could help out would be nice. Thanks!

In fact, what your sister has is an intel iMac, not a G5, those were discontinued a couple of years ago. She has telephone support for 90 days and should call Apple immediately for a solution to her problem.

Mac goes into sleep mode amd doesnt come out!!!!!!!

Hi, new to this so sorry if this is a dum question. I have installed Snow Leopard on my IMac and Air. No prob on the Air but probs with the IMac. Everytime it goes into sleep mode I get a black blank screen and it wont come back up? have to reboot everytime or leave front row on with a slide show! any ideas welcome?

I looked around the internet and found an old post that seems to have solved the problem. I had a relatively new USB port (powered) that I unplugged and, ta da, the problem disappeared. I'm not sure why this happens (I'm not a tech person) but it seems like this should have been worked out in testing somewhere.

Mac Tower Pro 10.8.5 keeps going into sleep mode

Purchased from Apple, refurbished 2012 Mac Tower Pro. At the same time, purchased a new Dell U2713HM, 27" monitor.
Have been operating on this new system since about the first week of December 2013.
Issue:
The computer has constantly gone into sleep mode after a few minutes of no activity. I can have iTunes radio playing, but the system still goes into sleep mode. As I am typing and moving the curser, the machine stays awake.
This has caused much frustration because when it goes into auto sleep mode, it quits all programs that I am in, and when it does this, I lose all the work I had accomplished. It litterally closes everything and goes to sleep in about 2-3 minutes of no activity.
BTW: the computer and monitor have all its new OEM cables that came in the box, when I purchased the units.
Solutions attempted:
System Preferences — Energy Saver: computer sleep and display sleep set to "never" and unclicked the box "Put hard disks to sleep when possible."
Dell settings: Turned off all energy savers.
Results:
Nothing. Problem persists.

I apologize for the angst. The problem has cost too much money in lost time and material because when it would automatically shut down after a few minutes, all my work was lost.
I misunderstood the terms of the warranty. Thank you for your input and patience. Much appreciated. For the benefit of others that experience this with a new Mac that auto shuts down. Check the following:
1. Go to System Preferences.
2. Click on Security and Privacy.
3. Click on Advanced (bottom right corner)
4. If the first line is checked (Log out after 5 minutes of inactivity); uncheck it and then click OK button.
5. Be sure to click the lock before existing Security and Privacy.
Now the machine will cease shutting down programs to go into sleep mode as soon as machine is inactive for a few minutes.
