TS1367 I am asking this question about my 27 inch iMac Desktop Computer. I normally use my Laptop and very seldom use the desktop but was going to download the new software earlier today. I could not wake it from sleep.

The other evening we had a storm and lightening hit a house a few doors from me. It jolted my chair but that seemed to be all here. I use my laptop most of the time but since there was a software download I went to my 27 inch iMac and could not wake it from sleep. The light on the keyboard is not lit either. I have this connected to a Battery Backup Power so do not know what has happened or what to do. When I push the power button to try to turn it on nothing happens. There is no shound, no video, nothing; however the disk drive that does my time maching backup has a light on it and the other things that are plugged into the battery power pack also have lights on them. The printer is on and says it is ready to print. Since I cannot boot it up I do not know what to do to even try to get it started. I did not know what would happen if I put the first start up disk in  the external disk drive and try that or not. The internal drive is broken. I do not have any repair shops or apple stores around me at all less than 150 miles away and I am disabled with 24/7 help and oxygen so can not take it in. Are there any suggestions that anyone can give me. I have not been able to find any way to reset the backup battery pack either. It is a Tripp-Lite. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanking you in advance for your time and trouble.

  • MBP will not wake up from Sleep

    Hi,
    I installed Leopard successfully on Friday, and since then, my computer does not wake up from sleep about 50% of the time.
    When I open the lid to attempt to wake it up, I hear the normal CD drive clicking sound (not the best way to describe the sound, but I don't know how else haha), but the screen just remains black. I cannot tell however, if it is a) waking up and the screen is remaining black or b) not waking up at all. The only way to remedy this is to hard to a hard shut down with the power button and then to power back on.
    Anybody else experience this or know what could be causing this? I never had this problem with Tiger in the 5 months that I had it on my MBP.
    Thanks for the help!

    Just installed Leopard on my original 15" MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. Last night, I had several applications open (Safari, Transmit, Timbuktu Pro) set up in separate Spaces. I closed the lid to put the machine to sleep. The sleep light was pulsing normally.
    This morning, when I opened the MBP, the screen came on ok showing the last Safari page I was on and the Airport Indicator showed that it re-connected to my wifi as normal. However, the cursor was scrambled (the was a vague set of dots but no arrow where the cursor should be). This "scrambled cursor" moved around the screen when I moved my finger on the trackpad but the computer did not respond to any mouse clicks or keyboard input. I tried commandoptionQ to force quit but no luck. Eventually I had to press & hold the power button to force a restart & the computer then started up normally.

  • My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep

    My early 2008 MacBook won't wake up from sleep periodically. I will have to hold the power button down and then restart when it acks up. It did this twice yesterday & once today.

    Try resetting the PMU (power management unit).
    Remove battery and power adapter.
    Hold down power button for 10 seconds.
    Reinstall battery and attach power adapter.
    Hold down Command-Option-P-R, a total of four keys, and press power button. Don't release the keys.
    Continue holding the four keys until you hear the startup sound twice, then release.

  • IMac G5 iSight will not wake up from sleep

    This has been happening to me for some time.
    Occasionally my Mac do not wakes up from sleep. Instead it hangs!
    Here how it goes:
    I press a key on keyboard; my Mac wakes up, but screen remains black with only mouse pointer. I cannot see login window.
    And Mac stays this way for hours. No matter if I press a key, click a mouse.
    The only remedy is to press power button and to shut it down.
    Then I have checked console.log. Nothing spectacular. Here is log from last accident:

    Any idea what to do?

    Wait - before you take it in for repair or get put on hold with Support try this:
    Go to System Prefs, Energy Saver, then set your display sleep and computer sleep times the same. Check both check boxes too.
    Trust me, I've been working on this problem with Apple and checking the discussion boards for over a year now. I've had my logic board replaced, power supply replaced, been through about 8 Apple techs and tried just about anything you'll read on these boards or get told to do by a tech. If you notice about every 4th or 5th page has someone posting about this problem. The above suggestion is the most recent thing I tried (from reading posts here in this forum, not from an Apple Tech) and it has come out of sleep for the past 30+ tries without a problem. This is not to say this is IT(the final sovle), because it has been known to go on a good run for a week or so and then come up again. This 'fix' however, has been the most promising. If it continues to work, I will let Apple know and hopefully they can fix the bug. They have all sorts of case history with me on this problem.

  • My MacPro will not wake up from sleep after the 10.8.2 upgrade.

    Since latest os upgrade to 10.8.2, my mac will not wake up from sleep.

    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 this test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. 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. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows: 
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
     *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. 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.

  • My iMac will not wake up from sleep after upgrading to OS X Mavericks

    After upgrading to OS X, my iMac will not wake up from sleep.  Each time I have to do a hard restart.  Is there a fix for this problem?

    Hi,
    I have just had the same problem with my iMac and after upgrading to Mavericks my iMac would not wake without pressing the power off button and re-booting.
    Anyway, I have since done a complete new install on my iMac and have gone 5 days without an issue with the iMac not waking.  It was a bit of a pain to do but my own view so far is that the problem is linked to the upgrading of the OS instead of a clean install.
    My iMac now flies with a new OS installed instead of an upgrade.

  • After installing iCloud mac does not wake up from sleep

    I have all of the necessary components and software for running iCloud however my computer will not wake up from sleep. I only get the gray sceen.  Any ideas?????

    You shouldn't need software (other than Lion).
    I'd reboot it and see if that gets around the issue.  It isn't supposed to do that.
    Press and hold the power button until the Macbook reboots.

  • Maverick will not wake up from sleep

    Maverick will not wake up from sleep. i dont see any related issues. maybe i am the only one? Ive been trying to run maverick for the last 2 months. I thought everything was fine after I erased, reformated and partitioned the HD and installed Maverick on a clean drive......  and then i get the ? startup disk. And then when it does run, I cant let it go to sleep. It will not wake up from sleep. I get the spinning beach ball of death everytime. I leave my computer on and run to the grocery store and come back........ I have to shut my computer off from the control strip and push the start button, every time. 
    Anyone know if this will damage my computer??
    I have selected the HD in the preferences startup; I've unplugged it for several minutes; started up in S mode; zapped the P ram; ran permissions; you name it. im at a loss.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should i buy another Mac? I cant afford one in this economy.

    I suggest you use the Recovery Partition Disk Utility to check the hard disk and then re-install the OS from there.

  • New macbook air (OS X) won't wake up from sleep

    My brand new macbook air running on OS X Mav will often times not wake up from sleep, causing me to have to force it to restart in order to be able to do anything. Once it's awake it works perfectly until it falls asleep again. Any tips on things I should try?

    Failure to wake from sleep is not normal regardless of the Energy Saver settings.
    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • HP Envy Laptop will not Wake up from Sleep Mode with Windows 10

    The reason I decided to go back to windows 8 was because since upgrading to Windows 10, when my computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot wake it up. I have to press and hold the power button to shut it done and restart. Even if I close my laptop, and reopen the lid, it wont start back up and I have to press and hold the power button and shut it down and restart.  After trying to restore my HP Envy Laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 8, it got stuck in a Repair PC Loop and I could not even access the desktop, I tried the restore option to an earlier date and that failed and all the repair options also failed. The last option I had was to do a full PC Refresh, and that one worked. It took about an hour but no data was lost, and only a few of my downloaded apps were removed. An html url was left on the desktop that showed a list of all the apps that were removed. So all I did was download those back and now im back up and running Windows 8.  I want to re-download Windows 10, does anyone have a fix for this issue?

    Hello mistyb1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the printer not waking up from Sleep Mode.
    I do have a few suggestions that we can try.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Once you have the printer connected to the wall outlet, please use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle.  This will do a Semi power reset on the printer.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Mac Pro will not wake up from sleep mode

    Hi,
    In my Energy Saver I have my system set to go to sleep after 15 minutes of not being used.  Unfortuantely, when I try to wake the system up from sleep mode, it freezes on the screen saver and I have to hard restart the computer to get it to turn on again.  I see that this is an issue with MacBook Pros, but I'm not seeing much in the Mac Pro Towers.  I did see a thread about Parallels VM causing causing OSX to not wake up from hibernation mode, but I am not always running my VM Ware when the system decides to not wake up.  Any help/advice is appreciated.
    Thank you,

    OS X Version 10.6.7
    2x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon

    .... and you fail to mention the model SSD and firmware version... or how you installed or cloned the system
    most people also move most of their user folder to another hard drive.
    sounds like a more normal Mail + OS issue if just that.
    hard restarts = directory corruption so don't reboot w/o first either Recovery Mode, then follow up with Safe Boot.
    And maybe you have 3rd party hardware or software that is not compatible with 10.8.2 needs to be considered as well.
    2008 model 3,1 also are having a lot of issues this year. Including another critical piece, what gpu it has.

    2. Choose "Software Update"
    3. Click "Check for Updates"
    Install any available updates and restart your Mac. Let us know if this resolves it or not.  Additionally, you have posted in the iPhone Discussion area; for future reference please post in the correct category.

  • Officejet 7612 E All in one printer will not wake up from sleep mode or powersave

    We cannot get a Officejet 7612 to wake up from sleep mode or powersave.  I have tried logging into the web interface but I am only able to delay sleep mode up to 15 minutes.  I need to shut this off or have the issue fixed.  The only way to use the device is to unplug the power cord and plug it back in.  The printer does not even respond to the power button.

    Hello,
    Please try the  below mentioned steps... Firstly print an network configuration page by touching the Setup > wireless Menu > Wireless Settings > Display Network Configuration > Print info [Ok] -type in the printer's ip in address bar of your browser ( Internet explorer or firefox or chrome ), which would display printer inforamtion. click on Network Menu ,
    click Network on Left, of the window.
    click on Network Address (IP), the info will be displayed on the right side. - by default the selection will be on Automatic IP.- click on Manual IP and then type in the following..
       printer's ip address in "Manual IP address"
      subnet mask using the printed report in "Manual Subnet Mask"
      default gateway using printer report in "Manual Default Gateway" Now click Apply. Wait untill the settigns are applied.-After which, power Off the Printer.
    -Restart the PC.
    -Power On the printer.  Hopefully the issue should be resolved.
