MacBook Pro :: It Freezes After Coming Out Of Sleep Mode?

Apr 14, 2012

Lately my 13" early 2011 Macbook Pro has been locking up when in sleep mode. All I get is a blank screen and the cursor which responds, but no buttons pushed on the keyboard resolve issue. Resolution thus far has been to hard boot the macbook...

MacBook Pro :: Freezes Randomly And Beeps When Coming Out Of Power Down Sleep

Jun 27, 2014

So, I have a late 2011 MBP 2GH i7, OSX 10.9.3. 500GB HD 16 BG 1600 Mhz DDR3.  

The problems started a while ago when the computer started freezing at random times. The mouse would move and there was no "pinwheel" but the computer was unresponsive. When I closed the screen the power was still on and the screen did not shut off. The only way to reset the computer was to hold the power button and do a hard reset. I don't remember if I replaced the RAM from 4BG to 8GB Crucial Memory before or after the computer started freezing, either way, shortly after or around the time when I replaced the ram the hard drive also failed.

I replaced the HD with I believe a Seagate hybrid drive with a small solid state segment. This whole time the computer is still freezing and now since I have a hybrid drive the Apple store can't support because it's not factory specs and MacMall here in Santa Monica can't find anything wrong with the hardware or software after running all of their tests. 

At this time I have a feeling it is the ram so I purchase a new 16GB Crucial RAM. Everything is great till it yet once again freezes in the same way as before BUT!! Now if the computer sleeps because the battery run's low, when I plug it in and the computer reboots (grey opaque screen with the vertical lines as the bottom) it starts beeping 3 times. I hard reset via the power button and the computer boots up as normal (although a little slower).

OS X V10.7 Lion :: System Unresponsive After Coming Back From Sleep

Mar 29, 2012

I leave my imac on at night, from screensaver it goes to a black screen but I have selected that the hard drive never goes to sleep. In the morning when I click the mouse or a button on the keyboard it shows me a frozen screensaver screen and the imac is totally unresponsive. Have run disk utility and everything seems totally fine there. It is impossible to use the force quit option so have to resort to switching the whole thing off from the power button.

The software is all up to date and since disk utility shows everything in perfect working order I am puzzled what this is. A corrupt file or app? I am not a heavy user so no games installed - only software installed is the caffeine app, microsoft office for mac which is compatible with my imac, skype and that's all. Lots of free space on the hard drive too. I am not an expert on macs so I don't know how to look in case something in specific causes this that I can uninstall.

Intel Mac :: Time Machine Crashes External HD Coming Out Of Sleep Mode

Mar 8, 2012

I have a new iMac OS 10.7.3 I am using a SeaGate 1.5 TB external HD for backup. 

If I leave the computer on continous everything works fine. It backs up every hour. It has been running fine for over a week. If I set the iMac in energy saver mode, say 10 minutes,  when the iMac comes out of sleep mode there is a warning that Time Machine failed. 

I get the following errors messages:  "Time Machine could not complete the Backup" "Error while creating the Backup Folder" 

There is no way to correct it or retry. I have to run disk utility and erase the external HD, re-format, then back everything again. 

I would prefer to use the energy save feature of the iMac if I could. I tried the Apple Support number and they just said leave the iMac in "energy saver NEVER" so the iMac stays on continous.  

Anyone able to let their IMac go in sleep mode with Time Machine turned on? It seems like a possible bug with 10.7.3?

Mac Pro :: Mouse Going Crazy After Coming Out Of Sleep Mode

Jan 5, 2009

At work im working on a Mac Pro 2x 2.8ghz quad core xeon.. when it comes out of sleep the mouse acts fine for about 5 secounds.. and then starts darting all over the place and then freezes in one area. I can stick click but not move the mouse. This is what i have tried so far.

1. disconnecting and reconnecting the mouse.
2. Looked in console for any weird mouse errors.
3. put it back to sleep and woke it back up.
4. restarted.
5. changed the energy saver options.
6. looked around mouse and keyboard cp for options.
7. tried another mouse.
8. tried using a mouse pad.

this is what has worked, but only works for about 5 secounds before it goes crazy again and then stops moving. force quit the finder. if i restart it, its fine till i put it to sleep and then it all starts over again. the system is fully patched to 10.5.6 with all the efi updates from apple update.

OS X :: Name Not Changed When Resuming From Sleep?

Oct 11, 2010

I want to change the displayed name on my computer in the name/password box that pops up when the computer returns from sleep. I've already set the home folder name to what I want, and in system preferences-->accounts--Full Name, I've already set that to what I want as well. Also I've set the Computer's Name to what I want as well. Can't figure out where else to change a name; I thought for sure setting the full name under the user account pane in sys preferences would do the trick but I'm still getting a different name when resuming from sleep and entering my password.

MacBook :: Black Screen But Sleep Indicator Is Coming On And Off

Feb 18, 2012

I've got pretty old MB that was bought back in 2007, and it's been working ok up until today. All of a sudden I can not boot it, the screen stays black. Whenever I turn it on the screen flashs for ~100ms and then remains black, at the same time the sleep mode light is on and off not gredually fading in and out like when it is in sleep mode but sharply. Safe boot didn't help, PRAM reset didn't help, booting into the firmware (CMD-OPT-O-F) didn't work as the screen stays black. . I can hear hard drive working but other then that I see no signs of life (even caps lock and num lock keys don't get highlighted when I press them)

OS X :: Imac Freezes After Sleep

Nov 5, 2009

I recently had a hard drive failure in my imac which i replaced with the the samsung drive listed below and a fresh install of snow leopard. Now i am experiencing a problem when waking my mac from sleep. about 50% of the time when it wakes it will immediately freeze which can only be resolved by a reboot. Could this be caused by this new drive being a "green" drive that conserves more energy when asleep by going into a slower state than a typical drive or is this a software issue?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Imac Intel 27 In Does Not Wake From Sleep?

Apr 2, 2012

Ever since I bought and downloaded OS Lion, whenever I put my mac to sleep or it goes to sleep on its own it occasionally won't wake up from sleep. It has to be manually rebooted. Is anyone familiar with this problem. Apple must know about it by now. I'm not lugging my 27" iMac into the apple store to have them look at it unless it won't reboot. Hoping it doesn't come to that...anyone familiar with this or have ideas on how to fix it? I don't know if it's a 3rd party software issue or just the OS.

-Tried the fix where you need to (re)enable the ethernet port
-Set sleephibernate mode to 0
- Repaired permissions and disk aid etc.

OS X :: MacBook Freezes Upon Waking Up From Sleep Mode

Feb 2, 2010

Whenever I close my computer to put it to sleep and then open it up later, the computer freezes and I am unable to type in my password to unlock my computer and am forced to hold down the power button until it turns off and then reboot it. This has become a major pain and has only started today but has happened 3 times already. I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and a Magic Mouse connected to my computer and am running 10.6.2 if that helps. I'd rather not have to shut down my computer all the time and I'm no longer covered by any protection.

MacBook Pro :: Freezes After Extended Sleep Time?

Aug 14, 2010

I've been having my MacBook Pro freeze up on me after sleeping for around 20-30 minutes or longer. I open the lid, and it looks fine, then as soon as I try and do something I get the spinning beach ball of death. Then, I click something else, and it instantly gets the beach ball. Eventually I try the dock, which comes up, but then freezes and hangs as well, partially expanded.

Control+Option+Delete does nothing. Nothing at all. Not a single button does anything, the only thing that is responsive at any level is the mouse (now a beach ball), and it only moves. And that's it.

I have no peripherals hooked up, nor is my Safe Sleep mode activated (mode=0).

Power Mac G5 :: Fan Runs On High And Won't Wake From Sleep - It Freezes?

Dec 10, 2007

I have a G5 (Power PC, g5, Dual 1.8 GHZ with 1.25 GB SDRAM, and Mac OS X 10.4.10-phew!) and I recently: added more USB ports using a PCI card, and purchased a non-Apple 22" widescreen display.

Prior to adding USB ports, I was using a hub that ran off its own power source, and used a Samsung 19" monitor.

My situation now: everything starts up fine, but ultimately the fan will kick in at SUPER HIGH and won't stop. I can put my Mac to sleep--which stops the fan noise--but then it won't wake up.

I have run the Apple Hardware test and everything checks out OK. I've also reset the SMU according to directions from this forum; AND I've vacuumed out all the dust bunnies.

The fan runs so loud and so high it sounds like it's an airplane that's about to take off.

Short of bringing in my Mac to a technician, can you recommend anything? My Mac has been glitch free up until now.

mac G5
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

OS X :: Generic Usb Keyboard Disappearing / Coming Out Of Sleep Keyboard Is Unresponsive

Jan 5, 2010

I just got a generic usb keyboard to use with my mbp as schoolwork is taking its toll on the keys and I wouldn't mind preserving it a little better.

This keyboard is the dynex from bbuy that's labeled in windows crap but was cheap and works fine on the mac. Unfortunately, everytime the mbp comes out of sleep, the keyboard is unresponsive and i have to set it up again in settings.

Just hoping there's a simple fix and that it's not terminal

thanks in advance.
