I have an i5 13" air. Sometimes after waking up from sleep I notice that nothing is running, all applications are closed, yet the temp according to istat is between 75c-82c. I checked the processes and the cpu is barely being hit. Yet the temp stays at those levels. I restart and everything is under 55c with like 4 apps running.
View 9 RepliesWhen I close my macbook lid after about 15 seconds the logo on the outside flashes like the laptop has woken itself up again. it does this repeatedly and the only way to stop it is to shut down the computer completely. I've been searching the web for answers and there seem to be many people having the same problem. One website suggested typing something in terminal. I'm pretty amateur when it comes to computers. But this comes up:
Usage: pmset [-b | -c | -u | -a] <action> <minutes> [<action> <minutes>...]
pmset -g [disk | cap | live | sched | ups | batt]
-c adjust settings used while connected to a charger
-b adjust settings used when running off a battery
-u adjust settings used while running off a UPS
-a (default) adjust settings for both
<action> is one of: displaysleep, sleep, disksleep (minutes argument)
or: reduce, dps, womp, ring, autorestart, powerbutton, halfdim,
lidwake, acwake, lessbright (with a 1 or 0 argument)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just occasionally have noticed my Blackbook, running 10.5.6, when I open it after closing it and moving elsewhere say, may have lost a lot of it's battery power. I think what's happening is it's not going to sleep properly (or it's waking up) when closed. This of course leaves me with not enough power (today 8% when I opened up). What concerns me much more is that the HD arm might not be in the parked position and damage could result with me travelling around. I have in fact had two complete HD failures in 2 1/2 years (though I have no reason to believe this is the cause, in fact I doubt it). I'm aware I can press the power button then select SLEEP and I often do when I'm just charging at home and want to keep the temp down (it's hot here!). Very interested to know what's going on though.....in fact interested in the bigger picture of HD arms when the things spinning as I use my Macbook outside and on my lap a lot, and can't help some movement of course. I emphasise when I shut the lid it normally sleeps as normal, this is just an occasional thing. So is it dangerous, what's causing it, and what about the bigger pic on HD arms when moving the laptop around?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy girlfriends Air has suddenly gotten a weird problem lately. Every now and then when she wakes it from sleep it seems to think that it has a second display connected to it. Even rebooting doesn't always solve the problem.
She has never used an external display with it before. The port looks clean (I thought there might be something there causing a short) and as far as we know there hasn't been any tinkering with any system files on her computer.
Anybody ever heard of this problem before? Or have any idea how to fix it?
When I wake up my MBA (re-open lid). I notice for about 5secs I can't use the touchpad, it's inoperable. But after the 5secs it starts working again. This used to be instant then after the Firmware update it does this.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if this is related to the other wifi issues posted on this thread. I am hoping it is an easy Leopard configuration thing. But my wifi used to work perfect--until I patched my OS version. Now, whenever open the lid, it can never connect to my wifi router immediately like it used to do. It spends cycles hunting, and I end up having to manually go into network preferences and try a few times to connect, including rekeying the password.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a late 2008 macbook, and occasionally after going into sleep via closing the lid or according to the sleep timer, it doesn't really want to wake up. I open the lid/press spacebar and the computer sounds like it's waking up, the keyboard lights up, but the screen stays dark. I've tried waiting for up to 30 seconds before eventually I just hold the power button and hard reset. Upon restart, there is an error message stating that os x crashed. I haven't been able to let it sit for more than a minute or two, as it usually happens when I'm getting ready to give a presentation or something, fun right.

so my wife's macbook has the lid closed and is constantly waking itself up. Nothing is plugged into the macbook. It is on the charger and receiving full power.I have tried to put it to sleep using Apple>sleep> off etc. and after about 3 seconds it wakes back up with the lid open. All night we hear the dvd rom booting up and the Mac wakes up.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a 2.4 Penryn black MacBook. It's been waking up on it's own, overheating and shutting down since I installed 10.5.7. This happened when I first got it, and I took it to Apple. At that time, seems the RAM wasn't seated properly. It hasn't been a problem again until now. Yesterday, it did it twice. The RAM seems to be seated properly. Is there a firmware update or something I'm missing?
View 24 Replies View RelatedIf I have a disc in the dvd drive when I either turn on my computer or wake it from sleep, the disc will almost always be ejected.
If I then put it back in, it will usually self-eject another 3 or 4 times before it will actually spin up and be recognized by the MBP.
How would you wake up a close lid MBP connected to a external monitor like HDTV?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm having a serious issue here. It's very intermittent which makes it very difficult to "treat."
Every once and a while, I put my MacBook Pro (17" Unibody, 2009, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD 5400) to sleep and when I go to wake it up, you can hear the hard drive spinning up and you can feel the fans (not running fast at all; normal) if you put your hand by the vent... but no display. When I close the screen again, the pulsing light just stays steady. The hard drive and the fans continue to go. They never stop. It's happened ten times in the past month and it's driving me insane. I've found it in the Console, take a look here -- click for large version.
What are your thoughts? What does this mean?

The only way I can get back to my computer is if I force shut down my computer. I've damaged the hierarchy of files by doing that (spotlight has had to reindex, sometimes I've had to boot up off my Snow Leopard disk and run disk utility to get it back to working).
I have reset the SMC and PRAM. It didn't fix it. Again, it happens so intermittently that I can never point out what causes it, if anything in particular does.
I'm about to sell my computer and I really need to get this fixed. Thoughts, anybody?
Everytime I put my Mbp to sleep it will wake up after 10 minutes on it's own all the time, I don't have low batteries on my magic mouse and keyboard, this never happened on my older Mbp. This is the new 2010 model. I have wake for network connection turned off. Anyone esle have this issue?

I've tried closing my browser (Chrome), starting another browser (Safari), and restarting. All of these attempts have met with success and failure. Sometimes, doing nothing and waiting for ~2 minutes does the trick.I'd simply like my MBP to connect to the internet ASAP upon waking up. I did no software upgrades recently

My new to me macbook (2010 MBP with 2.53 i5 running lion) runs great other than if I let it go to sleep for more than 5 mins it will give me the 3 repeating beeps until I hold down the power button and force a shut down. It never does this when turning it on from shutting it down, just waking up. I also checked the ram and made sure it was seated correctly.

I have some problems with my macbook alu, sometimes when I wake my computer from sleep they keyboard wont work, or the trackpad. This only happens sometimes and not always. How can I prevent this from happening?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using my Mac on an external monitor with a USB keyboard/mouse and the lid closed. When I put it to sleep using the remote, it switches off but then re-awakens about 5 seconds later. It's really annoying as it's usually when I'm in bed after watching a video and am too tired to get up and switch it off manually. How to make it sleep? Could it be the USB peripherals making it act this way? If so, how can I stop my Mac from waking on USB?
View 10 Replies View Relatedmy air is rev B with SSD. when i open the lid to wake it up from the sleep, the mouse is freezing for couple of seconds and then back to normal.
it's not tthe whole OS freezing i believe, because ical event suddenly appears on the desktop when the mouse is freezing. so it's not the system i guess.
could it be the lack of voltage because of coolbook? but the system is so stable with these new lower voltages settings i applied a week ago.
When I wake my 13" MBP from sleep, the fan speed ramps up to about 2700 or so RPM even though the entire machine is cool. It eventually goes back to 2000 after a couple of minutes.
View 5 Replies View RelatedSometimes when I let my MBP (see sig) go to sleep with the screen open, I come back and hit the spacebar to wake it up and it doesn't give me the password dialog box to wake it from sleep. All i see is a black screen with the mouse pointer on it. This sometimes happens when I wake and DO get the password box but if I wait and don't enter the password right away, the box disappears and wont come back. In both cases I'm forced to push the power button to shut it down and restart. Any solutions to this, or is it just a fluke?
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhenever 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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was using my Macbook Pro this morning and it was working perfectly as normal. I did a standard shut down and when I tried to turn the machine back on the display would not wake up. The machine itself is booting fine, it still makes the gong sound when booting up and I can adjust the volume and turn the caps lock on and off. I just cant see anything as the screen remains black.
I have tried the P&R boot twice and also took the battery out and removed the power source and pressed the power button for 15 secs and put it back together and tried to reboot with no change. This same issue happend about 2 months ago and a friend who worked for apple knew a command to turn on the screen and ever since there has not been a problem. Unfortunately my friend is in Australia and I'm unable to contact him. I have a University assignment due at the end of the week and I use the laptop for work so I'm really panicing!
Just got a new MacBook Pro a few months ago. Migrated everything successfully from my old MBPro. Now, however, when I wake my computer each morning, it can't connect to the internet. It shows that my wifi is connected, but when I try to get mail or use Safari/Firefox/Chrome, it just spins until it tells me I have no internet connection. I then have to restart the computer and it works fine after that.Â
The fact that it works fine after restarting tells me it's something other than my wifi or my cable modem.Â
I'm running 10.9.3. Using 'Automatic' location.Â
I'm on my third MacBook Pro and all three of them keep waking up from sleep mode. I have reformatted and reinstalled the OS each time. I have reset the SMC and the PRAM. Still no resolution. It happened again this morning and I started digging thru the Console logs. I found this.

Can someone please tell me what the OHC2 code means? I have no idea where to find the documentation on these codes. If I wake my computer up from sleep by pressing the power button, the Wake reason code is PWRB.
I recently reinstalled MAC OS X on my unibody MBP. I've installed all the updates and it's been working fine until now. When it goes to sleep automatically I press a key and it wakes up then the Airport icon in the bar at the top of the desktop stays greyed out. I have to go in and manually connect to my router each time the machine wakes from sleep.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with my mid 2009 2.53GHz MacBook Pro 15" not waking up from sleep after I open the clamshell (screen) back up. When I open the screen after letting it sit for a while, I can hear the HDD spinning up and the status light on the bottom of the MacBook turns off (like it normally does when the clamshell is opened), but the screen is black and there is absolutely no response in any key combinations or trackpad taps. I've been having this problem for about a month now and its getting pretty annoying. I've tried a total wipe of the disk and a fresh Lion install with a full TimeMachine restore, but I'm having absolutely no luck. The only thing that can bring the MBP back to life is a hard restart. Sometimes when I hard restart it, it comes back to life right where I let off (basically like when the battery loses all its juice and restores everything thats open), but most of the time, it starts up like a normal boot with no restore.Â
