Won't wake after sleep unless charging.

Sometimes when I put my macbook pro to sleep it shuts down after some time and will only turn back on when plugged in. This is very annoying as if I don't take my charger with me my mac won't turn on. Can anybody help me? Thankyou

I'm running 10.7 as well. I had the same situation occur to me: I had put my MBP to sleep. The next day, I opened it up to find that it had shutdown overnight. Had to plug in the power adapter and push the "on" button to start-up machine. Strangely enough, the battery had 75%+ charge when it shutdown during sleep.

23" momitor won't wake after sleep after installing Radeon AGP 128 dual dvi

hello,
My monitor won't wake after sleep mode. This is new after installing the radeon 128mb dual dvi card. I assumed it should be "ready to go" because I bought it at Tekserve, which sells and fixes Macs.
And if I have my 17" acer display connected the desktop, upon wake-up, partially swithches to the 17" -minus the tool bar. And without the tool bar I cannot access the OS or preferences. I have to restart.
Is there a driver to solve this dilemma? I can keep the computer on without sleep and turn off the monitors but that seems to be a poor solution.

How much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
Check for Login Items
Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there.
And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash
If there's enough disk space and login items aren't an issue, launch Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.
Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.

IMac won't wake after sleep

Hi
I have a brand new iMac 21.5" with Hybrid drive.
Its OS and apps are fully update to date.
Strange thing is that it won't wake from sleep.
To reboot, I have to turn the power off at the wall and back on again. Neither of the usual
wake/reboot processes work (holding the power button briefly or holding the power button for
> 10 seconds). No combination of opt/ctrl/cmd/power work either. I have to turn it off at the wall
and back on again, after which it immediately boots.
I've reset the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM.
I've checked the power options - which are set to defaults (sleep after 15 IIRC).
I've also checked the console log at the time of sleep - and there is no indication of anything
going wrong (an example is below).
Does anyone have any other ideas as to what I can try before going through the painful process
of sending it into the shop?
Many thanks.
Paul.
Console log below. You can see the machine went to sleep after 12:05pm, and I woke it up and 8:20pm. There seem to be no unusual messages in the middle.

I have gone to the apple support team - and they took me to the standard apple "what happens if your mac won't turn on" page
(If your Mac won't turn on - Apple Support) and walked me through the standard checks (which I'd already done).
The support guy thought it was a bad driver - I'm not so sure as I haven't installed anything new (just updates).
Anyway - I was just hoping/wondering someone in the wider community had seen this issue before I take the machine
in for servicing.

G4 won't wake after sleeping

My ibook G4 has recently been unable to wake after sleeping. The only recent software change was a Security update and itunes update. the problem seemed to start just after that.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck

The screen is not set to dark. When it fails to wake up from sleeping, there is no noise from the disk drive. There is no reaction to any input except holding the on off button until it restarts.
This seems to be an intermittent problem; sometimes it won't wake at all, sometimes it wakes, but makes a steady buzzing noise until I restart it.
I've set it to never sleep, but since I travel with my computer most every day, I do have to close it, and then often have the problem when I re-open it.

ARD client won't wake after sleep

I have a client on the network that won't wake. I have the "wake for ethernet access" checked and access set up correctly (seven other machines with same OS and ARD client version working fine). Running a MacPro with 10.5.8 with ARD Client version 3.3.1. Any suggestion as to what I'm missing? THANKS!!

Sorry for my delayed response...It's on the same subnet. There may be something plugged into one of his firewire ports. Could that be something?

Won't wake after sleep

Is anybody else having the following problem. I started a back-up session using Apple's Backup application when I went to bed and was going to allow it to run over night. I was backing up to the external drive attached to my Airport and when I woke up to check it my computer would not wake from sleep - just the spinning ball. Eventually, I had to force a restart. This has happened a few times when using the external drive plugged into the Airport with Apple's Backup application. Does anybody have any thoughts about this?

Set your computer to never sleep—at least when you're doing a backup.

Leopard won't wake after sleep

When I go to my computer in the morning it will not wake.
It hangs at a blue screen....this never happened with Tiger!
I have to do a restart by powering down holding the power button.
Any possible fix?
thanks

I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

Power mac G5 won't wake after sleeping

manual sleep start - OK for less than 5 minutes but not more than 5 min. Possibly Logitech 3-button laser mouse? I've read that it's usually a USB issue. nothing else is connected at this time and the power saver system prefs including drives are all set to never. Thanks in advance.

Printers have been known to cause some sleep problems.
Disconnecting the printer will tell you right away....
The mouse shouldn't be a problem.
Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the machine sleeps in safe Mode.
If it does, and after a restart to normal, does the problem still occur?
If so, try a new user account.
Does the problem continue?

Macbk pro 2010 won't wake after sleep, must restart twice to get it working

If I close the macbook or leave it open for too long the screen goes black and I must restart it via the power button 2 times before it starts up normally. On the first restart, the computer shuts down but when starting back up the screen stays asleep, so must shut down again. OS X 10.9.5, tried running apple hardware test (AHT) but couldn't get the icon to show up. No idea what to do...

OK, 10.6.7 update did NOT fix the issue.
So before putting mbp to sleep last night, I did a SMC reset procedure.
This morning when it woke up, it detected the cable immediately.
Thanks leroydouglas.

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". How do I fix it? Thanks

After installing OC X Snow leopard my Mac won't go to sleep. unless I close everything out. It wasn't like that before the "upgrade". I have looked at the Energy saving icon and everything looks OK. How do I fix it? Thanks

OK I solved it.
I followed instructions from http://superuser.com/questions/214943/what-is-preventing-my-macbook-from-sleepin g/409481/
Go to Utilities in the Applications folder and open the "Terminal" app.
Type pmset -g and hit Enter
If "sleep" has 0 next to it and the words "imposed by" or "prevented by ; The number next to the imposed by is the process ID causing the problem. Copy that number.
Type ps -e | grep <process ID here> and hit Enter. This will list all running processes that have that ID (will also include the grep process)
For me it turned out to be Internet Sharing enabled that prevented my MBP from sleeping.

Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

Why is my Macbook Pro slow to wake after sleep?

I am having the same issue. I hook it up to the charger in the evening and close the lid. When I go to use it the next time it takes a good 30 seconds or so to wake up. The screen shows the log in screen but typing doesn't work and the cursor is frozen. Sometimes it will even give the rainbow wheel for the cursor, so it seem like it is processing whatever to get going. I also notice that my battery won't be fully charged at anywhere from 95%-99% after being charged a full evening. What can I do to change whatever is happening because it is pretty crappy to charge it all night expecting to have a full battery for the next use, plus the issue of having to sit there waiting for it to boot every time.

Won't Wake From Sleep

I held off from posting this until I'd scoured the boards looking for ideas, but I'm totally out.
Every since I updated to 10.4.8, my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep. I've tried resetting the SMU and PRAM, enabled and disabled bluetooth device wake from sleep, and installed the latest EFI Firmware update that was just released. I've now narrowed it down to the 10.4.8 and a change in how it handles Expresscards. If I have my NitroAV FW 800 card plugged in during a session, it seems to prevent the MacBook from going to sleep properly. According to various Console messages, the PCI device prevents the computer from going to sleep, and /or places the computer into System Doze instead, from which it won't wake. The sleep light stays fixed and steady, only disappearing if I press the power button (it only reacts to the power button). From there the screen remains dark and all plugged in device fail to respond. I can hear the drive spin back up.
It reacts the same whether or not I eject the card before putting the computer to sleep. This behavior was not present before installing 10.4.8 and having fallen back on a back up of my 10.4.7 install, can say it's not present in the older OS version. I was hoping last night's EFI firmware update would deal with this, but after having installed it and 10.4.8 anew, I'm having the same old results.
If anyone has any new ideas or can direct me toward how I can make sure the folks at Apple see this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Since upgrading to version 10.8.2 my MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep is her anyway I can fix this?

> during the entirety of this process the cursor was a "busy" pinwheel/beach ball/whathaveyou for a solid 30 minutes before I turned the computer off with the power button.
All that cursor means is that it is busy trying to do something. You can see if force quitting solves the problem with a simple force quit using command-option-escape. If you are having issues with iCal quitting, sometimes it doesn't always know whether or not it is properly communicating with a particular calendar. This can be a Mobileme issue, or even a phone synchronization issue, or a network issue reaching a shared calendar. Shutting down a machine directly from a cursor is the last step one should try, only after all others have failed. If you have done this in the past, lurking corruption can get worse each time with the directory, and upgrading the system will only enhance any corruption already present. When you restart your Mac, does everything appear to be normal?
