Update to 10.6.3 and having problems returning from sleep mode

Hi,
Updated yesterday to 10.6.3 and having issues returning the laptop from sleep mode.
I close the lid and the laptop goes to sleep but when opening the laptop I just get a blank screen. I can hear the hard drive start up but nothing is displayed on the screen and the sleep light is constantly on. Have tried various combinations of key presses to get it back but nothing works. I end up powering the laptop off in the end.
Anyone else have this problem? Or know how to resolve it.
I have run daily, weekly, monthly maintenance scripts, cleared system and user cache and repaired disk permission but I'm still getting the issue. I have a Time Machine backup but it dates back a month so I'm reluctant to restore.
Cheers,
Luke

I'm having a similar problem that I may have cracked. My screen is on but the backlight is off (so the image is practically 100% on resume from hibernate. Have you reset the pram and cleared the smc?

As Retired Engineer indicated, you will need to install Snow Leopard first. After you install Snow Leopard, you need to go into Software Update and perform the updates. 10.6.6 will install the App Store. You should continue to update to 10.6.8 before purchasing and installing Lion from the App Store.
Be sure your machine meets the minimum requirements. Basically, any Mac with a Core 2 Duo processor or later and at least 2GB of RAM (but 4 is highly recommended). If you have a first generation MacBook Pro with a Core Duo, you will not be able to upgrade to Lion.

Since 5.1 update, my Apple TV has no audio after waking from sleep mode. I can get audio back if I manually put it to sleep through settings. Help please?

Hello,
Since the 5.1 update, my Apple TV 2 has no audio after it wakes from sleep mode. To get audio back I need to go to settings and manually put it to sleep then wake it up. Once I do this I have audio. I have restarted the Apple TV as well as me modem and router. I have searched the boards and cannot find a solution. Please help.

Returning from sleep mode problem

Occasionally, when I open my MacBook from sleep mode, the login screen looks faded, the print is very faint and is shifted to the left. I can type and put in my password, and when I hit enter, it takes me to the normal login screen. But then my mouse will not move. I can tap the spacebar and click on my trackpad, and after about 10-15 seconds the mouse will move and I can click, sign in, etc. and when I sign in everything is normal, so it really doesn't affect my use but it is a little concerning. I already reset my PRAM, which an apple worker told me to do, but it didn't change anything. Anyway, help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It just happened again, and I was able to read the message that flashes on screen (very sporadic): "Not Optimum Mode" and something along the lines of switch to 1680x1050? with a big question mark icon. I'm wondering if the Mac is trying to force a higher resolution on the monitor when it comes back from sleep mode, even though I have it set at 1680x1050?

I have the latest firmware... still having problems waking from sleep

First off, I want to say that I have the latest firmware updates and have had them for a few months: SMC version 1.4f12 and Boot ROM version MB11.0061.B03.
The problem I have most often when trying to wake is that the password dialog will come up, I'll enter my password, and then the MacBook will just go back to sleep! Sometimes the screen unlocks for a few seconds and then it goes back to sleep completely (i.e. backlight goes off), and sometimes the password dialog just goes away and I get the spinning beachball on a black screen indefinitely.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? Am I NOT actually running the latest firmware?

Try resetting the SMC (I would also repair permissions before and after - in disk utility)

Hope this helps,

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1?

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 last August 2013 and having problems with installing it on Windows 8.1. Why am I having this problem?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error, "iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found". Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

Try here:
iTunes: Unable to sync photos
Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

Just purchased Wndows Vista and having problems with the port for Palm 125

I just purchased a Windows Vista computer and having problems with getting my Palm 125 to sync with the desktop. I get an error message saying: "Com1 not available" What do I do?
Thanks,
Frustrated

Sorry, that didn't work. I get no drop down menu from the Hot Sync Manager for the Serial Port. What comes up often is: "The selected port, COM1, is not available at this time. Hot Sync Manager will open the port when it becomes available."
Could it be the Norton Antivirus Firewall that is preventing the Hot Sync Manager to open the Serial Port? Just a thought. Thanks for your help.

I recently updated to 10.8.2 and now my notes from my iPhone no longer appear in my mail nor do my calendar appointments. Is there any way to change it so they will appear?

If it has the same (bad) behavior on two different systems then there is a very good chance that the drive is toast.
BTW you'll get better response to your questions if the question actually reflects the problem you are having. In this case it would have been better to say you couldn't access the drive rather then that it doesn't show on the desktop.

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.
