My Intel iMac goes into a deep sleep and can not be awakened; I need to hold the start button in to force it to shut down and then restart it.
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
if anyone else is having problems with their unibody Macbook pro screen getting washed out after a while - especially if the computer has been put into and woken from sleep. I run a 24 inch dell monitor along side my MBP in dual monitor mode, the MBP the slave monitor, with the Dell the main monitor. After a while of use, approx 2 hours, the macbook pro screen fades out/appears washed out. It seems to settle after either a restart or dimming the MBP screen to black for a few minutes. My MBP is not on a cooling stand but I'm going to get one Is this a heat thing, a firmware thing or a defective hardware? I'm running 10.5.6 and have updated the firmware/efi as per apple updates.

In this time I have hundreds of the following messages:Â 05.02.12 12:42:20,812 loginwindow: resume called when there was already a timer..Any idea what I can do to get this to work the way it used to ??? This is very very annoying and consumes energy for nothing.

If I close the lid and let it sit for a while, then open it, I have to press the power button and wait for it to boot all over again. The battery is fully charged.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy coworker is having some problems with his iBook G4 and I (being the mac guy I am) volunteered to help set it straight. I have encountered a bit of a snag that seems quite strange to me. The problem is that when the computer boots and gets to the login screen, it goes into a deep sleep and can only be revived by removing the battery. It stays at the login screen for about 3 seconds before this happens. Unfortunately, I didn't know about this in advance so I don't have my usual supplies (OSX CD or a Firewire cable to go into target disk mode so I can poke around from my MBP). If the sleep problem were not strange enough, I cant boot into single user mode! It just keeps a black screen up. Verbose startup does the same thing. Has anybody here come across a problem like this before?
TIA
Mine just flips around, asks for password then flips back, not going to Deep Sleep.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI ask because I'm using remote tap on iPhone to remote into my iMac when I'm away. It sleeps it and wakes it just fine remotely. But when it's asleep too long, remote tap will fail to wake it, and the only thing that will wake it is if I hit a button on the keyboard or mouse. Is there a way to just keep it in normal sleep(?) or something?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am still having this waking up issue with my mba 13. When it sleeps for more than 1/2 - 1 hour. It doesn't seem to wake up. It normally wakes up asking my password on top of the screen. But sometimes it reboots. Today something weird happened..the welcome screen came up asking my password.
I entered it and I seen the blue desktop screen, than back to the password box. I entered my password 3-4 times.. it did the same thing. I pressed and hold the power button. Turned it off then back on. Again my outlook file under windows xp in parallels is corrupt.
After switching over from a PC several weeks ago everything's going great. On my PC I liked to use the hibernate feature when I was in the middle of something and had to run. I think on the Mac this is called deep sleep, but I can't find the option to do this. Can deep sleep be enabled on an Aluminum iMac?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a trouble with deep sleep (hibernation) mode. MacBook MB403, OS X Leopard 10.5.6. When I put my mac to deep sleep mode, and then wake it up, I have a two problems: Bluetooth is not available until I reboot it and more serious problem: if I try to put mac in deep sleep mode again, screen becomes dark, but white indicator shines constantly and no more actions, I can only press power button for 3 seconds, then it power down and so mac shuts down. I tried to use Deep Sleep widget and also I tried "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3" in the Terminal.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo one day I activated deep sleep from this widget like I always do when I want to keep my 100% charge and i'm traveling with my macbook and keep my stuff saved.
It didn't work. So I kept clicking. clicking. clicking. Nothing.
So I slept my mac, and woke it again and it worked.
However when I went to wake it, I just got a grey screen. I held down the power button to cold boot, and when I rebooted it booted from the RAM file like it would normally when waking from deep sleep.
But now every-time I close the laptop it goes into deep sleep.
when i was working on my master thesis document, i closed my macbook(physically with display down). He goes into standby. But when i opened it again, he didn't woke up. Pressed every keys, touched the touchpad, nothing happened. Then i hard rebooted, nothing happened, only the fan started making extreme loud noise. So i did a hard shut down, disconnected everything(powersupply, battery,usbstick,etc etc). Inserted the battery and the powersupply again and booted. My screen lit up, logo appeared, and the cicle(busy icon of the mouse) but it didn't rotate.

iMac (24 inch Early 2009, 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo, Lion 10.7.3) randomly goes sleep. No hot corners, never sleep setting.  It seems it goes to sleep more often when CPU is busy and graphic intensive jobs running (videos, gaming). I cleaned up air ways by vaccume, but it did not help.Â
Temp monitor showed
CPU 55C
power supply 95C
northbridge 89C
graphic processer goes up to 86C
when it went to sleep for no apparent reason./private/var/log/kernel.log says "Previous Sleep Cause: -100"

I had the LCD replaced because the whole upper half was shifted on one side closer than the other for some reason and when I closed the lid, it was not only not aligned properly but it was chewing up the plastic edge at the bottom of the LCD.
Anyways, took it to the Apple store in Vancouver here and it still is a bit off. Took it to the tech and they say that is the way it is and there isn't too much they can do. That is total BS!! I have to get this realigned even if it means Apple will get their tech to replace my MBP. Just got it in March 09.
Anyhow, I noticed that the LCD replaced has colors NOT quite as rich or as deep as before. Anybody know how to check their LCD for this? I'm going to have to get them to replace the LCD again! I know Apple doesn't have any quality control when it comes to having the LCD replaced but when the computer is $3000, you would think they would take the care to be a little bit more stringent with their replacement parts/products.
Does anyone know of a desktop app like sonic vox for iPhone? I would like to make my voice extremely deep and bass filled.

I just got a new mid 09 macbook pro no matter how I calibrate the screen. the dark/deep blue will always look like purple colour.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI put my MBP to sleep. Opened the lid back up about an hour later and it was in Deep Sleep mode. I had to press the power button and wait for it to restore settings before I could do anything (greyed out screen, progress bar, etc).
Battery was still at 82%.
Anyone know what's up with this or have this happen with their computer before?
I set my iMac to go to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity. Everything worked as it should until I updated Lion to 10.7.3. Now it seems that iMac never goes to sleep on its own. No new hardware installed whatsoever, every settings are the same as before. I even tried by not running any programs, and it still won't go to sleep unless I force it to. It's a mid-2011 iMac with core i5.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust got my mothers 21 in. iMac on Snow Leopard back from Apple last wednesday. They replaced the logic board and powersupply because it was shutting down by itself and only part way. Power still on the USB. When we got it back, noticed we could hear the fans and the system was much cooler. Seems to be working OK, but yesterday, I manually put it into sleep mode. It normally runs all the time, just puts the display to sleep. The fans shut down and the screen went black. So far so good. Then I clicked on the mouse to wake it. OK, but then in about 2 minutes, it went to sleep again. Every time I woke it, it went back to sleep. Had to do a restart to make it work normally again and stay on.

Found this issue on many forums, but unfortunately I cannot find a solution. Taking to an apple store for repair is not an option. If I'm going to spend $300-$400 for repair, I might as well purchase a new PC. I am not that attached to this mac, and now with operating issues, I'm even less so. At least with a PC I can ctrl+alt-del and start all over. I was expecting more than 4 years out of a $1200 imac, so if I have to replace repair every few years, I'm thinking I'd rather start with a clean slate for $400 every few years with a new PC. Very frustrated not being able to find a solution online about this problem, seeing that it seems so common.Â
While working on imac and surfing the net, my screen will intermittently go to sleep. I can wiggle the mouse and click it and it will come back on right where I left off, internet connection and all. Once it happens, it continues to happen until I shut down and walk away for a good length of time (overnight). Problem seems to happen when the imac has been running for many hours at a time. I have set up the activity monitor, but I don't know what the numbers mean or what to look for. Â
This initially started happening this past summer, and I thought it was a heat issue, but now that it's happening mid-winter, not so sure. Also, in the summer this seemed to be prompted by streaming online, but now it is just from surfing. Not sure if it would shut down if I was working in Pages or Numbers, as I do so infrequently. Doesn't matter if it's Safari or Firefox and it's not a hot corners/sleep issue. Also noticed my fan runs loud sometimes, but not always. Not sure if it's a related problem. Does not sleep because of fan, no consistency in shutting down, etc.Â

Every few months, my iMac will start up from sleep mode on its own. Why does it do this, and is it something to be worried about? i am not touching the mouse or keyboard or using any remotely connected devices when this occurs.

When my computer goes to sleep it will not wake up, and I have to shut down using the power button on the back and then restart. I called support and they advised me that this only happened when the computer went to sleep on it's opwn but not when you manually put it to sleep, But that proved not to be true. It will not wake up under either situation? The support persontold me to logonto applke and re-install the sytem software which I have done but that did not cure the problem either. I have my preference set to never sleep. I am ar]t a loss as to what to do now as when it goes to sleep or I put it to sleep i sometimes will not start up even after shutting down and restarting.I am on 10.7.2?
