Software :: Won't Wake Up - Being Asleep For More Than Hour
Jan 17, 2009
I recently upgraded my PowerMac G4 Dual 1.0GHz to leopard and am having major sleep issues. computer will not wake most of the time after being asleep for more then an hour or so. This was not an issue under tiger, reinstalled leopard on a freshly formatted hard drive and the problem still exists. I am also experiencing the problem on my intel imac, not to the same degree however?

I 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.

I have my set Mac Pro to sleep after 1 hour of "inactivity" and not wake for ethernet administration access.My question is: What is "inactivity"? It seems that my computer never sleeps fully. I have iStat Menus and Dropbox installed. Will the computer sleep no matter what if I don't touch the keyboard or mouse or unplug/plug stuff in/out? Or will certain apps keep it from sleeping? I am worried that something is preventing it from sleeping.

So my MBP 13" 2.26ghz worked up until the firmware update was installed, and then everything froze up and it took about 15 minutes to boot up, 5 minutes to shut down. So i called apple, and after a 1 hour phone call, they told me that i could get it replaced. I live an hours drive from the nearest apple store, and will have to drive up there to get it replaced, do you think i could ask for some kind of compensation for my problems, and having to drive 4 hours (2 to buy it the first time, 2 more to get it replace) to take care of the problem.
Do you think I could ask for the 2.53ghz model, or an apple/itunes gift card. or Should i even ask for anything, i mean i paid 1200 for this computer, and after 3 hours of owning it is not useable, and now i have to spend all this time trying to get it replaced.

I came into work today to find our server asleep. Our server is on an old G4 tower. We usually keep this running 24/7 to allow for remote access, but for the last 2 weeks we have set up a scheduled shutdown over the weekend to try to keep the server fresh and clean - bad idea!
Every 18 seconds or so, the machine goes to sleep. The monitor goes black (with a green flashing light on) and the tower goes dead silent and displays a glowing power button. Moving the mouse or pressing a key restores everything where we left off, but 18 seconds later, puff, its gone again.
We managed to get in and turn of the scheduled shutdown but this hasn't resolved the issue.
Whenever the screen is on we can access the server (not email) but as soon as it goes to sleep, we get kicked off the server.

If i set my displays to sleep in 1 minute (say, if I leave it on overnight, and want it to sleep pretty quickly), they both come back to life after a few minutes. Since they're bright, they absolutely illuminate the room and the S/O isn't too happy with me.
I have an Alu iMac 24", Dell 24", bluetooth mouse, external USB drive, USB keyboard. I tried switching off the bluetooth mouse, and it was no better.

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, My MBP refuses to stay asleep. I usually put it to sleep and then close the laptop. After 30 min to a few hours of remaining in sleep mode, it will wake up on its own. Since it is in clamshell mode, it goes back into sleep mode and then immediately wakes up again and remains in this endless cycle. Annoying when I am trying to sleep. Below is what appears in the logs each time it wakes up:
I did an upgrade from 10.5.8. The only USB device installed is a mouse. I did some research and did not find much. I deleted the files in LibraryPreferencesSystemConfiguration and rebooted. I also removed the Airport service and readded it. I thought the cause was Airport but now I am not so sure. Any ideas? I am not having any other issues.

I put my iMac to sleep before I go to bed and it usually stays in that state until I get up. Lately something is waking it routinely during the night. I have attempted to fix this by following the suggestions in Mac Help but I still can't get to the bottom of it.

With OSX 10.6.4 my 2.66 GHz iMac will not stay asleep. It will wake up even though the Wake for Network Access box is NOT checked in System Preferences. Why is this? This happens every night. It is becoming very frustrating.

For some reason (which I hope someone knows why) my computer started to not stay sleeping. I would go to the apple menu, select sleep, the screen goes dark but then a few seconds later the screen comes back on. I haven't changed any preferences so not sure why it's doing this.
When using screen saver it stays.

Lion makes the sleep process take a while. But after a short time my Mac Pro wakes from sleep and even though I have it set up to go back to sleep after five minutes of inactivity it never goes back to sleep. This wasn't a problem with the first version of Lion.

I have a 15" pre-unibody Macbook Pro and a 12" Powerbook G4. When the computer is asleep, is it safe to move around with it, or could that damage the hard drive? It would be moved on its side in a laptop bag - both walking and biking. I'm so tired of turning it on and off any time I move.

Once asleep and enters hibernation, the laptop will not start up. Even after I hit the space bar. The "sleeping light" stops going on and off and just sticks on and the screen stays un-lit. I am then forced to shut it off, so I will hold the power button down until I hear the hard drive shut down and then start it back up.
Then one of two things happen; either it starts up nicely or it starts up and remains with no display and I am forced to hard restart again. I have found that if my external HD is plugged into the USB port upon start up it will get stuck in start up; it will keep starting up the main hard-drive and nothing happens so I have to hard shut off and unplug the external and then start again. I have been trying to keep music going on my machine to avoid hibernation, but night times kinda suck.

Just bought a Logitech VX revolution for my iBook G4 running leopard. If my ibook is asleep, and I move the mouse out of the way, the computer wakes up. Is there a way to have leopard ignore the mouse when its asleep?

So I am one of those guys that keep my desk in the same room I sleep, but can�t stand light of any kind while I am sleeping ( I know this will eventually be a hardship for me sometime, somewhere) .
Sure I know I could just move my desk out of the room and avoid this issue but I would like your input.
I like to leave my Mac book on and open with an external display always plugged in. I do not want to shut down or put it to sleep as I want it to be available 24/7 for some type of remote access. I currently have my display set to sleep after one minute with a hot corner to activate (running on 10.6.2) however at random the displays will wake and thus cause this light eyed sleeper to also wake. I can defeat this partially by killing power to one monitor every night but there is nothing I can do about the internal display short of turning down the backlight. I have wake for Ethernet disabled. Can anyone tell me, how can I do what I need to do? What type of background events cause the display to wake and why? And how if at all, can I stop them from doing this? I just want to only be able to wake the display from suspend or power save when I press a key on an attached keyboard.

Have a Macbook connected to an Airport extreme. If I let the Macbook sit for 15 minutes the connection seems to go to sleep. I have the energy settings and sleep and screensavers set to 45 minutes. Any idea why there is a lag in connection time?

A few days ago my iBook G4 stopped staying asleep, but not in every situation. Here are the various scenarios....Close lid, computer plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up; Close lid, computer not plugged in, computer stays asleep; Choose "Sleep" from menu, computer plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up; and Choose "Sleep" from menu, computer not plugged in, cd drive sounds like it spins and the computer wakes back up.
I should note that there is nothing in the CD drive; it's empty. I tried such things as resetting the nvram, pram and pmu, all to no avail. Last night I reformatted and reinstalled the original system software using the original installation disks, which put me back to OS 10.3.xx. STILL DOESN'T WORK!

I have 2 iMacs, both running Lion. Both are on my home wifi network and both have folders that are shared between both systems. When one iMac goes to sleep, I eventually lose it on the network. I have to go wake it up before it is again visible on the network so I can access the files on it.Is there some setting I can set that will allow the iMac to go to sleep and yet still be visible on the network. There is a setting that allows network activity to wake up the iMac but it does not seem to work.

As usual, whilst claiming green credentials, the information Apple gives regarding power use is minimal and vague to the point of being meaningless .The only figures they quote are:- Maximum continuous use 205w (21.5") and 310w (27") What exactly does maximum continuous use mean ?
a. When the machine is switched on but not doing anything
b. Working at general office tasks
c. Working flat out transcoding video etc.
Which of these is it? Or is it all 3? Does it use more power when performing harder tasks? If so, what power is used under scenarios a and b? Finally, how much power is used in sleep mode?

This has been happening increasingly. When I start up my MacBook Pro (running Snow Leopard) the system boots up (chime, etc) and all is well except at the end of the process the screen is black. If I push power button and then "S" (which puts into sleep mode), of course the screen remains black. Then pushing any key will wake the screen and all is as normal.

My late 2012 MacBook Pro overheats when asleep. The fan blasts until it shuts itself down (I get a message). This started after the most recent update. I am at 10.9.3. Also, I now have a magenta flash when starting up. Now I always shut down the computer when I am done so it won't destroy itself.

I have some problems with my macbook 4,1 (early 08). Since a few weeks I get sometimes kernel panics. Last night I had 7 kernel panics within 1 hour. Can anyone help me analysing these logs? memtest86+ doesn't show any problems after 8 hours.

About every hour or two, my Macbook Air freezes. It will slow to a crawl, where the cursor moves very slow, then it will freeze.

MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core2Duo with 2 GB 667MHz SDRAM runs very quietly when being used. When left with lid closed overnight but still logged in, each AM the the fan is running loudly at high speed and the case is hot. As soon as I open it and it starts up, the fan quiets down and the case is cool in a few minutes. The temps range (when open and quiet) from 90-125 F for various components and the fan speeds are about 2000 RPM. Why should it run hot when closed and asleep.

Recently, I've been having an issue where neither my Apple bluetooth Keyboard or Magic Trackpad pair automatically with the iMac at my password login screen. This forces me to hold down the power button and force a restart of the machine. Both accessories have plenty of battery power and pair fine after restarting. In a related problem, sometimes neither accessory will wake the iMac from sleep and I suspect it's because the bluetooth is dropping connection while asleep, thus making it impossible to wake up the iMac. Corrupt bluetooth .plist file? Or, could there be a problem with the iMac's built in bluetooth?

I have a first gen Mac Pro with a 20" Apple Cinema Display connected to it. I always leave my computer in, but I let my display sleep. My display will go to sleep fine but it will wake up randomly and then fall back asleep again after the time interval. This has been going on for a long time but it's starting to really bother me.

I have a February 2008 MBP and am having issues with keeping it asleep. I currently have it set up as a desktop connected to an external monitor, keyboard and Magic Mouse (along with a variety of other peripherals) and I've recently noticed this issue. I'm running 10.6.1, I have tried everything from resetting the PRAM, SMC and repairing disk permissions to even installing a clean copy of Snow Leopard and restoring from Time Machine backup.
For power management, I have it set to never sleep, since I manually set it to sleep and don't want it sleeping on me when in use. I also have Wake on LAN activity disabled. Yet when I set it to sleep, at approximately noon the next day it wakes up by itself. I've even turned off the Magic Mouse to make sure it wasn't being moved by vibration and waking up the Mac. I'm completely stumped!
For troubleshooting purposes, I've installed a clean copy of SL without restoring TM backup to see if it's a program that's causing this issue or if it's a problem with a peripheral. I've yet to check back on it as I'm at work, but I'm hoping it's just software related. I'm at a loss as to what to do.

My Macbook Pro will not stay in sleep mode.
When I close the lid, it will go to sleep for about 5 seconds and then just continuously wake up, then sleep, then wake up etc.
If I press sleep for the menu it just wakes up again after about 5 seconds.
The battery is completely screwed and the laptop is often plugged in, but even when I take it off charge the same thing happens.
