MacBook Pro Won't Wake Up

May 9, 2012

This just started yesterday. My wife's MacBook pro will not wake after sleep. The screen remains black though the keyboard lights up. No amount of tapping on the keys or trackpad lights up the screen. When I restart, all is well again. What do I need to do?

MacBook Pro :: Won't Wake Out Of Sleep?

Jul 11, 2007

I put my 3 day old MBP to sleep last night with a 90% battery level (with the A/C adapter unplugged). I had calibrated the battery the day before. This morning, when I opened the lid, nothing happened. I thought this was odd. I then pressed the power button and heard about 1 second of the startup tone and then nothing. I repeated this twice more with the same result. I then plugged in the A/C adapter and the MBP booted up. The battery level was 86%. What do you think has caused this? Do I have a defective battery or something more serious?

MacBook :: Display Won't Wake Up Sometimes

Jan 8, 2009

Occasionally my Alu Macbook won't wake up from sleep. The keyboard backlight comes on, but the display won't wake. Sometimes the machine is quite hot and the fans are blasting too. Only a power cycle will fix it and then there's a message about OS X restarting unexpectedly.

MacBook :: Won't Wake From Sleep

Feb 3, 2009

However, twice now when I've run the battery down (as recommended to keep the battery healthy), and then put it to sleep and plug it in, when I try to wake it up later, it won't start. Powering on and off just lead to a little "click-whirr" and the power light pops on and off, but no action. I called applecare and they said to unplug it, take the battery out, leave it out for a bit, then put it back in, then plug it back in, and restart it. It worked (although the second such crash, it took two tries for unclear reasons). Needless to say, this is a bit frustrating. Is this a known problem? Should I do something to avoid it? Is it a lemon?

MacBook Pro :: How To Prevent Wake On USB

Mar 5, 2009

I would like to connect one of those Master/Slave Powersplitters to my Macbook Pro when I'm at home.

However, this has given me an issue.

When I choose Sleep, the Macbook goes to sleep, and a few seconds after the the splitter will turn off my screen, speakers, Printer and all other accesories.

But as soon as this happens, The Mac wakes up again.

For simplicity at home I have one USB connected to the mac, that goes to the built in USB hub of the screen.
I tried to disconnect everything from the hub leaving only the hub connected.

MacBook :: Doesn't Wake After Add New RAM

May 4, 2009

So over this weekend I upped the ram in my Macbook from the stock 2gbs-4gbs. Everything seems to be fine but now what's happening is when I close my Macbook lid and put it to sleep it won't wake up when I open it later. It seems like it wakes up as the light at the bottom goes out but there is no response from the keyboard or display. If I hold down the power button for 5 seconds then the Mac shuts off and I can boot it up as normal. I checked over the reporting screen when it reboots and it seem to be indicating a kernel panic occurred. The memory seems to be recognized and working but it wouldn't explain why my mac suddenly is freaking out. I've tried the SMC reset and now I'm going to try the PRAM reset. I figured I'd check here if anyone has any ideas. The type of Macbook I have is a 2.4ghz Alum. The memory is from MacSales.com OWC 4GB PC3-8500 DDR3 1066MHz DIMM Upgrade Kit This appears to be a house memory but i've had great luck from them before with this same brand.

MacBook Pro :: Sometimes Doesn't Wake Up

Jul 2, 2010

Sometimes after I logoff, I'll close the lid on my MBP. I always wait until I'm fully logged off before I do this. Later when I want to use my computer I open the lid, the keyboard backlight comes on, but I get no picture on the screen. If I take the machine into my office and connect it to my external monitor, I get no picture there either. The only way to get my computer back is to hold down the power button until it turns off and then turn it back on. Has anyone seen this issue? If so, do you know of a solution? I don't think it's been doing this since I bought it. It seems like it's been worse since the latest OS X patch, but I could be mistaken.

OS X :: 10.6.5 Update - MacBook Pro Automatically Wake Up

Nov 21, 2010

I have a 17" MacBook Pro that I bought recently (and even more recently restored) new from Apple. Ever since the 10.6.5 update I have noticed some problems. Almost every night, my MacBook Pro will wake up. I don't know if this is significant but I do have it connected to a cinema display, firewire hard drive, and an Apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

The only thing I would be suspecting is the hard drive but I don't know why since it is only used for time machine backups and those work normally. I do hear sometimes the hard drive spin up at night for a backup, but then it quickly shuts down after, which I believe is normal. Anyways, checking the console in the morning, I find this out of the usual:

Everytime I sleep my MacBook for more than say 15 minutes, I start it back up, login, it works for about 20 seconds at which point it gets really slow, then I get the spinning color wheel and it doesn't stop spinning, forcing me to do a hard restart. I am running Leopard 10.5.2.

MacBook Pro :: DVD Player Not Working After Wake Up?

Oct 21, 2009

I'm talking about the actual program, not the drive.

After I wake up my MacBook Pro from sleep and click on DVD player, it won't read the DVD. I get an error message. I have to log out and sign back in for it to work. My MBP does display the DVD on the desktop after wakeup, it's just the DVD player program that doesn't work.

how to fix this?

MacBook Pro :: 17 Slow Wake After EFI 2.7 Update

Feb 25, 2012

After installing the EFI 2.7 update yesterday, my MacBook Pro 17" has had an odd bug. 

When the display dims after x minutes of inactivity, it takes 10-15 seconds after activity (mouse click, key press, etc.) for the screen to "un-dim".  Same happens when trying to wake from the screen saver or sleep. 

I have tried restarting as well as restarting w/PRAM reset.  After the PRAM reset, the MBP would wake as usual for a little while, but then reverted back to the slow wake bug.

MacBook Pro :: Mid 2010 10.7.3 Will Not Wake Up After Sleeping?

Mar 27, 2012

My laptop is a new to me MBP everthing seems to be working great but I noticed it will not wake up after sleeping for more than 5 mins or so.  I can hear a faint fan noise but the screen does not come on and no tap, click or swipe will wake it up. I've got to hold down the power button and wait awhile to get back up and running. I can provide more info,  I'd say I'm half literate when it comes to computers.

MacBook Pro :: Mid 2010 Will Not Wake From Sleep

May 17, 2012

I've lived with this as long as I care to live with this. My 17" MacBook Pro will not wake from sleep.  Space key, mouse click, closing lid and re-opening, disconnecting power and reconnecting -- nothing works.  When the display goes to sleep I have no alternative but to force a reboot with the power button.  I can't see how this can be good for my hard drives.  But to set the machine to never sleep will likely damage the display. 

I believe my firmware is up to date.  I'm running OS 10.6.8.  I recently reinstalled system software and updated everything but the problem persists. 

Here is my system info: I await your collective wisdom to flow over me.

MacBook Pro :: Went To Sleep And Couldn't Wake Up

Jun 18, 2012

I seem to be having a real run of bad luck at present! I was updating software which was going to take a while so had my dinner whilst this was happening, came back and MacBook Pro had gone to sleep and would not wake up! When i closed lid the light then came on and it would not go off however as soon as I lifted lid ...nothing. So did (another) safe reboot and hence I'm writing to communities again (twice in one day).

MacBook Pro :: It Doesn't Wake Up From Sleep?

Jun 26, 2012

It's been a while now that my mac pro 13" (july 2011 version with lion) either doesn't wake up from sleep (or appears so because the screen stays turned off) or it does but when asked to log back in, I type the password and press enter, and the colored wheel shows up and stops responding...not even gets to log in. I have to hard reset with the power button.

MacBook Pro :: Panic After Wake From Sleep?

Jun 27, 2012

I put my (early 2010, i5, 8Gb RAM, 500Gb HDD, OSX 10.7.4, all other software up to date) MacBook pro to sleep by closing the lid, it goes to sleep, then minutes or hours later I go to wake it up again by opening the lid and see the screen flash briefly (with whatever I was running before sleeping) but then the screen goes black and the MacBook does not respond to anything but a hard reset.I have done the following via tech support or my own research:

Hard drive verified and repaired (it found some folder problems but fixed them) all clear, also memory all clear (using Rember, overnight), opened it up and re-seated just in case, permissions all good. It doesn't run particularly hot either (and the issue only ever happens when it's trying to wake from sleep, so it's cold anyway). Cleared SMC, PRAM, Caches, Started in Safe mode.

I have also removed everything from my Login startup group except for EvernoteHelper and BetterTouchTool, I'm running Chrome as my browser but I tried unintsalling it and moving to Safari but this didn't help either. Issue is still happening, I would guess maybe 50% of the time I open to wake up but mostly when it has been asleep for more than an hour (the case is completely cold).

When I restart the "error report" screen comes up with the following

Interval Since Last Panic Report:414234 secPanics Since Last Report:  4Anonymous UUID:25C06CD4-2D86-43A6-9B1E-CE92D326E89A  Tue Jun 19 08:49:54 2012panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff7f80a7a947): NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100: CFG 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff, BAR0 0xd2000000 0xffffff8113f5e000 0x0a5480a2, D0, P2/4Backtrace (CPU 2),

[code]....

The only thing I haven't done is an extended hardware test (will do that tonight) and a complete clean install (which I would really rather avoid).
