Won't Wake Up After Opening The Lid

This has been happening for awhile now (checked with my father in law, who has a macbook pro, and he says the same thing happens to his): I close the lid, it goes to sleep. When I open the lid again, half the time it'll wake up, and half the time it won't (even pressing buttons, etc). I'll have to hold down the power button to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on and start up from scratch, losing whatever I was working on. There's seemingly no rhyme or reason to it...but it happens about half the time. The other thing I notice, when this happens, is that the "sleep" light (that is usually flashing when it's sleeping normally) turns on solid when I close the lid rather than flashing, and turns off when I open it.
Anyone else have this problem? Any way to fix it? I have the newest firmware.

I cannot solve your problem but I did have the same problem which has now evolved into my computer NEVER going to sleep and my bluetooth does not work I have tried all the advice I can find and nothing works. Of course my waranty expired four months ago so now I will have to come up with the money to fix it if I want this resovled. If your warenty is still good I suggest having someone look at it before it evloves into a bigger problem.

MacBook pro fails to wake up after opening the lid

My MacBook pro screen lights up briefly after opening the lid from a sleeping status. However the screen then turns off and the only remedy is to force a shutdown by holding down the on/off button and then restarting it.

My "nearest" local Apple Store is almost 40 km far from where I live...It's clearly a softwere problem and yes, It's not new for Apple. I hope they consider this annoying problem and fix it as soon as possible. I also noticed that doing a "Verify Disk" via Disk Utility an error accours by checking the free space of the HDD. It's suggested to repair the disk immediatly (bold red alarm pops out ) rebooting the system and using the tools under the CMD-R startup. By the way, ignoring the problem and by just verify the disk again, the error maigcally disapper into the void...that's weird !
I hope somethings will come out, I'm really, really annoyed by this problem and i don't want to run in some data loss or HDD failure because i really need my Mac for work (as, i think, most of us )!

IPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case

iPad Air won't turn on after opening the smart case cover, it does not do it all the time but enough to concern me

Take both the iPad and the Smart Cover back to where you bought them for an evaluation. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Windows can't wake up after closing the lid of a MBP?

My Windows XP can't wake up after I close the lid of my MBP. When I open the lid, the screen is black and the latch light is out.

Laptop won't wake up after closing lid

The laptop won't wake up after closing the lid. It hasn't happened before. There have been no updates or changes for a day or two. The power button light and the fan are on, the caps lock key is flashing, and the wireless light is orange instead of white, like it is when powered up. I have tried ctrl-alt-del, every fn key, the esc key, the pause key, and every comination of keys that made any sense and many that didn't. I tried disconnecting the power, removing the battery and holding the power button for 30 seconds. I tried leaving the battery out while disconnected from power for 24 hours. I have looked at different forums for clues, but haven't found any help.
My next step will be to remove the hard drive to get the data, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

HI @tootall69
Thank you for your reply.
You can try this step as it will restore the power schemes back to the defaults.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting sleep and hibernate issues (Windows 7) that may help.
Next you can try this.
Go to start run
Type command prompt
Right click on it and run as administrator
Type powercfg -restoredefaultschemes and press enter.
You could also do a restore to before this started to happen. HP Notebook PCs - Using Microsoft System Restore
The next step would be to do a recovery back to factory.

No Airport activity on wake from sleep (but only when opening the lid)

I've read a lot of discussions dealing with wi-fi issues, but none seems to match my own problem.
I purchased a MBP 13" 2.4 GHz mid 2010 a few weeks ago and I'm running SL 10.6.3. I connect to the internet via a Time Capsule ethernet connected to a D-Link DSL 300T modem. Everything is updated and running smooth, but on wake from sleep opening the lid there's no way to get Airport working. Most of the times it's inactive, but I can not activate it in System Prefs > Network. Sometimes shows up as active, the Airport icon in menu bar keeps blinking but can't connect to the Time Capsule (whose light stays green all the time). The only way to get it back to work is restarting the MBP. This does never happen if I don't close the lid, though putting my Mac to sleep: on waking Airport works fine.
I'm enclosing the Console log:

Hi,
my MBP 13" Mid 2010 running 10.6.4. has similar problems. I like to use it closed lid connected to an external display with apple usb keyboard. In closed lid mode airport connection fails several times or I do get a poor connection, e.g. one or two curves in the airport menu bar icon with significant lower connection speeds. I do connect to a airport extreme n station with does its job rock solid. as my wife uses a two year old macbook and I have got an G4 with a sonnet airport card running both without problems even from a greater distance in our home it seems to me that the macbook pro has serious problems operating with the internal wifi antenna in closed lid mode, maybe due to shielding from the lid?
Has anybody experienced the same problem or successfully found a way to solve this problem? When using open lid mode wifi problems never occurred, but that's not the preferred option for my desktop table.

MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid

It has been a persisting (and boring) issue. My MacBook wont wake up after I open the lid. I try closing and opening it lots of times but the screen stays black - it doesnt display the user login screen. Anyone has ever experienced this kind of issue, knows what causes it or has a fix for this bug?

Try resetting the SMC:

Slow wake after closing the lid

Hi there everybody.
My macbookpro has a very slow wake up after I close-open the lid with enough battery to continue working. It shows the “washed” screen in the background and the progressive bar of light squares in the front, as when the computer rans out of battery and you replug it a demand it to rewake from NObattery sleep.
I'd really appreciate your comments on this problem.

Can some body give me an advice, my cursor can not be controlled (using pad) after I shut it down, and open again. But this problem goes away after I close and open the lid.

Boot from your OS installer disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad?

Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.

It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

MacBook Pro makes a noise and freezes after I open the lid and awake it from it's sleep after installing Mt. Lion. How do I fix this?

Eversince I installed Mt. Lion my Macbook Pro has been making a long "beeeeeeep" noise and freezes after I try to awake it from it's sleep by opening the lid. How do I fix this problem?

Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

Black Screen after I shut and open the lid

Recently I updated the driver of my graphics card. Earlier it was showing my graphics to be AMD HD 6490M series but after update it shows graphics to be AMD Radeon HD 7400M Series. And I did theupdate from official AMD website.
Everything works fine except that when I close the lid so as to send the laptop to sleep and then, when I re-open the lid I get a black screen and only way to get rid of it is to force close the laptop using the power key.
Once I faced the problem I reverted back to the graphics driver that is provided in HP support site. In the original driver this problem is solved but I face another problem. After switching on the laptop and working for about 5-10 minutes I get an error message stating - "Catalyst Control Center has stopped working".
Kindly someone help me. And please don't suggest me to do factory reset.
Its very difficult to reinstall all the sftwares that I have.

@A_Dash ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.
Did you go an physically change the graphics card on your notebook?
If not do a system restore and roll back to the previous driver.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
If this fails to resolve the issue you will want to do a full system recovery back to the original configuration.
The drivers on the system are normally proprietary so if you are upgrading from the AMD website or other source you will find issues.
Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

My macbook that wont turn back on after I open the lid

Well my macbook is very fast and works great, *+when it turns back on+.* I leave it on most of the time and close it, plugged into a power cord, when i am done using it. I am not putting it to sleep or turning it off, just closing the lid. When I open the lid, it sometimes turns back on, and most of the time doesn't. The little light on the outside turns off when I open it, and when I close it, it turns on. I will push the power button, that doesn't do anything.
I will take the battery out and unplug it from the wall, put the battery back in and all, and it still wont turn back on. After I play with it for a few minutes, it will either turn back on, go to a grey screen with a grey progress bar, or pretend like I turned it on by going to the grey screen with the apple logo and the little spinning circle at the bottom. I have done disk utilities, any kind of utility i could think up, but it still does this. I was running tiger when it started happening.
I tried repartitioning the hard drive, backing everything up and reinstalling osx. still a problem. i recently upgraded to leopard. still a problem. I have no idea whats going on because it is not consistant. it will randomly do this. I have even sent it to apple and it wasnt fixed.

It sounds like it's hardware-related. Note the exact time the events occur, and then check your system logs in your Console application for clues to the cause.
Try resetting your SMC.

If that does not work, you may need to get it looked at.

MBA screen flashes black for about 2 seconds after I open the lid from sleep?

My MBA has recently started flashing a black screen for about 2 seconds after I open the lid. This seems to happen after the MBA has been asleep for a while. It doesn't seem to effect the performance (at least not yet). Any suggestions?

Have also since found out that to start FF4 in safe mode you just hold shift whilst double-clicking the icon. We only find these things out after the event, murphy's law!
