USB Macbook Pro unable to wake up from

Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure this one out for a while. I have been using my macbook in a dock, I have one at home and one at work. Under MacOS, I can insert the computer into the dock, hit a key on the keyboard and it will wake up the computer.
When I am booted in to Linux, I have to disable sleep on the computer, close it, and then it will work in the dock. Or I have to reboot the computer quickly and put it in the dock.
Basically from what i have been able to determine when I am booted into macos, the USB ports stil have power applied to them and will accept inputs. Under Linux, the ports are shut completely off.
So what I am trying to figure out, is there a way while still asleep that the computer can recognize when you plug in a usb device and that will wake up the computer? I am fairly confident that there is a way to do it, since the hardware supports it when booted in to MacOS.
Thanks for any suggestions on this.

Macbook Pro Freezes after wake up from sleep

My Macbook Pro 5,5 with mountian Lion freezes after waking up from sleep. i have 8 GB RAM and did a hardware test wich was passed. I also have a SSD of 240 GB in the optical drive. this is my startup drive. Another HD is my workdrive. The first thing I see is that the Airport does not come back and it seems that is does not wake up. After that the whole finder freezes.
What can be the problem?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Channel t|GPU D|I/O|n Cause: -' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

MacBook Pro will not wake up from sleep

When I left for work, my MBP (2007) was working fine, I put it to sleep).
When I got back from work, I tried to wake it up, and nothing.
I powered it down and tried to reboot. Nothing, not even the chime.
I pulled the battery, and held the start button for 10 seconds.
Tried to reboot with and without the battery; no chime, dark display.
Sounds like my firmware fried, and Applecare expired recently.
Any suggestions appreciated.

"Applecare expired recently."
How recently? I would still give them a call. You may be surprised at the outcome.

MacBook Pro doesn't wake up from sleep mode

My MacBook Pro (late 2011) with OS Mavericks doesn't wake up from sleep mode anymore. Battery is fully charged and the cable is plugged in. I can still hear the ventilator running, but that's all. I never had any problems, but since about 2 weeks this problem occurs. It usually then woke up after 10-15min, but now nothing happened since 4 hours.
Is there anyone who could possible help me? Unfortunately there is no Apple Store in my area where I could go to.

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
Step 5
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

HT203176 MacBook Pro will not wake up from sleep

My MacBook Prof laptop will not awaken from sleep sometimes. The laptop could be left open and I walk away for awhile. Come back and it is in the black screen status. When I hit a key to wake it up....it won't. Have to hold the power key down for several seconds to turn it off, then push power key to turn back on. Also, sometimes I close the lid and walk away. Come back several hours later and it will not wake up. Went to the Apple store a few weeks ago. They ran a quick diagnostic on my hardware and said it was all fine. They suggested they wipe clean the hard drive and I start fresh. We did and everything was fine for a few weeks. Now it starting all over again? Very frustrating and time consuming to have to restart your computer multiple times a day.
Any suggestions or thoughts? Could it be a hardware issue? Should I let the Apple store run the 7 hours hardware test?
Thanks.

Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep mode

When I put my macbook pro to sleep, it does not wake up. If I turn it off after every time I use it, it is fine. Is there a problem with the sleep function or with the battery? Also, I am concerned that my mac's speed is slowing down, is this related?

I have the same issue with my Macbook Pro 2.4
Have you by any chance installed a new RAM?. I've just added new 8 GB RAMs & I noticed the issue afterwards, but I'm still not sure if it's the cause.

Macbook Pro Retina Slow Wake Up from sleep

Hi, my 13-in MacBook Pro is the late 2013 version installed with OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
I have noticed that ever since I upgraded my OS from 10.9.3 to my current one, whenever my MBP goes to sleep (standby mode) and when I want to continue using it, swiping my fingers across the trackpad will bring the cursor back on but on a BLACK blank screen. It will then take about another 15-20 seconds before my screen comes back on. It is irritating especially when I am rushing my work.
On the other hand, pressing any key on my keyboard brings it right back to my start screen.
Is it a problem with the OS or just my MBP?

Yeah I've had this problem too, unfortunately there's no way round it but to wait a few seconds after it goes to sleep before touching the trackpad or the keyboard.

Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep

I've had my 15" Macbook Pro for 3 years now, and only recently have I started having this problem. When I have my Mac on (plugged in or unplugged) and I walk away it will go to sleep and the only way I can get it to wake up (without plugging in external mouse and external keyboard) is if I restart. This is very problematic if I am working on something important.

MacBook Pro won't wake up from non-sleep/energy mode state

Because I at times go on instant messenger or for whatever reason do not want my computer to go to sleep, I have my energy saver system preferences set at "put the computer to sleep NEVER." However, after I return to the computer after a few hours and press the space key, the screen remains black and will not start up from this energy-mode state. I have to press the powerkey to completely shut off the computer and then re-boot it again. I have tried re-setting the PMU & the problem remains. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Try hitting Command + option + delete for two seconds.
The sleep command should bring your MBP from its deep slumber.

Retina Macbook Pro doesn't wake up from screen saver

Hi There -
I've been having some issues with my computer coming back to life after the screen saver has been initiated. Once it freezes, it's frozen for good and requires a restart. This has been happening relatively frequently and I'm assuming it's got something to do with the new hardware, specifically the retina display itself?
Anyway, I'd roll the dice and upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I've got some programs that have not been tested in that environment and I'd rather stick with Lion for the time being.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I am also having the same issue. There's another thread here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19004375#19004375
Mine is frozen when I come back to my machine and wake it up... the lock screen appears but it's frozen - usually I can move the mouse around and either see the arrow or spinning beach ball. Sometimes I notice the time is frozen from several mintures prior from when I left the machine ... I have turned of the lock on screensaver option for now to see if that will keep it from freezing.

Anything new on the "Macbook Pro won't wake up from sleep" problem?

I just had it for the first time, and did the "hold down power button to reset" option. Scary, but I see I'm definitely not the only one with this problem. (To clarify, it's when I open up the computer after putting it to sleep, and get only a movable cursor and a black screen.) The computer is about a month and a half old. I'd been putting it to sleep regularly that entire time with no problems that I can tell (except the battery does have to recharge when I plug it in after sleep for a long time, but as far as I can tell, it IS asleep during that time - the laptop is still cold).
I don't have anything attached to it or linked to it with Bluetooth (only external thingie is an Airport Express), and I don't use Time Machine. I've seen some of the other suggestions, and I haven't tried them yet, but the page on the SMC reset makes all sorts of dire warnings about MAKE SURE YOU TRY EVERYTHING ELSE BEFORE DOING THIS. How should I approach those warnings? Anything new anywhere I could try for next time? Oh, and is there a more computer-friendly way to get out of that black screen than what I did - holding down the power button?
Thanks in advance.

Hmm. Has that actually worked for anyone? The posts I've read here (at least for those w/o Snow Leopard) only mention it as something that HASN'T.
Has method of putting the computer to sleep had any relevance? Is this something I should take to some level of official Apple folk? I really hope they're working on it (it seems to have existed in Leopard for quite a while now, though if it's happening more often with Snow Leopard, I'm hoping that creates new impetus).

MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep in Lion

A lot of people are reporting that their MBP freezes (which happens to me, too) but this concerns a totally different issue.
About 5-10% of the time, when I return to my MBP after it has initiated sleep, I cannot get the system to respond.
Keyboard should wake the MBP. Power button should wake. Opening the lid should wake. None do.
The system is cold. No fans, to backlight, to nuttin'. All that works is the sleep indicator, which turns on and off when I open and close the lid.
The only way to use the system is to force restart (hold down power, reboot) at which time the system does its 'resume'-thing... as if it ran out of juice and went into hibernate.
How do we fix this? I'm running a clean install of Lion (10.7.1) (same issue with 10.7.0) - installed it fresh after formatting the HDD - so Snow Leopard remnants from upgrades cannot be a problem here.

I began having issues whereby my Macbook Pro would freeze after waking from sleep...whether automatic sleep mode or manually-induced. Got worse by the day, so I looked in this Forum and found that the problem was widespread..
My issue came when I tried to open MS Office Mac (Outlook) or open Firefox. In nearly every instance, the computer (and sometimes the screen) would freeze, sometimes with the little whirling ball remaining on forever. All these forced me to power down with the on-off button, which was distasteful.
After reading all the posts in the Mac forums regarding this issue, I determined that the issue most likely to have caused my problem was Microsoft Silverlight. I recalled that I had recently allowed an update.
I went into every folder I could find, including those related to MS Office, and sent every incidence of Silverlight (including folders) to the trash. Then I shut down and restarted the computer, and ran some tests by putting the unit to sleep and waking after a wait time.
After several tests, I have determined that I am now back in good order, sans Silverlight. I think Silverlight is off the radar for my future!

OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

Macbook Pro Won't Wake From Deep Sleep

I'm having issues from my Macbook Pro waking from a deep sleep after my battery dies. If the battery dies and it goes into sleep, my Macbook Pro won't wake even if it's connected to power. I can remove the battery, hold down the power button, press keys and nothing happens.
I know the obvious thing is to not let the battery die, but I don't always work near outlets.
I've tried resetting the nvram and smc and nothing has worked. I'm probably going to bring it into Apple soon, but I really can't be without my computer for class.

Yes, I've tried that. It doesn't work. I've left the battery in, I've taken it out and left it out for a bit and nothing seems to work. It just turns back on whenever it feels like it.
I just had a sort of similar issue with a restart (no dead battery this time though). After my computer shutdown from a restart, it didn't want to boot back up. After holding down the power button and doing a few other things, I gave up. Then I closed the lid and set it down. It then decided to turn itself on.
I think I'm going to bring it in. I do massive amounts of design and web work on this thing and I can't have it messing up.

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?

I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it
