MacBook Pro Won't Wake from Sleep

Same here!
I'm having the same problem... I had the same problem on Tiger and now on Leopard. I notice that the screen does not wake up if the computer has been sleeping for more than 10 minutes. It has to be software if everyone else is having the same issue
also I know its software because it sleeps/wakes fine if you boot in safe mode (ie hold shift key)
I've just uninstalled iStat and will post the resuts after I wait 10 minutes to see if it works.

roll back or reinstall. reinstalling worked for me. I'm running 10.5.1 and it works perfectly. sleep that is.
Why is this happening to so many people? I never can tell if my MBP is going to wake or not. It picks and chooses and there doesn't seem to be a pattern.
How/when is Apple going to address this?

I had the same problem and removed the iStat widget and things got much better.
Now if I sleep the MBP by just closing the lid, it awakens immediately when I open it. If I sleep it with the drop down menu, you can only awaken it by pushing on the power key until it beeps and it awakens. Before I removed iStat, if you pushed the power key it caused a force quit and the computer would reboot.

Nothing has worked for me, including the terminal commands to disable SafeSleep.
I now use the program DeepSleep, it takes a long time to restart, but I have all my goodies intact....
ya i just tried the terminal commands.
whats the part about image of the ram?
i couldn't really get that to work, but i hardly know what it is so...
sleep is when you close the lid right? just making sure
I've got this problem too, and lately it's been pretty frustrating.
Also, I think I've got one of the defective screens in my MBP. I may just be paranoid, but I think I have the bottom third yellowing issue. Also, the computer's six months old, but it already has a stuck pixel.
I should give Apple a call. Maybe I can convince them to exchange it for a new Penryn MBP. Mwah ha ha.

deep sleep
deep sleep seems to work for me, haven't bothered with taking out iSat since it seems to be having mixed results. If it does wake to a black screen, I've found that pushing the power button once, then "enter" does a proper shutdown, then press power again to re-start. When it wakes to a black screen, the computer is still functioning, just the screen is black - so if you can envision what is happening when you push buttons, keystrokes can be used to control it - just have to know exactly what to push and in what order, since you can't actually see what you're doing. I am suspecting that it has something do do with multiple monitor support... and probably came with the graphics update. Has anyone installed 10.5.2 but NOT the graphics update? I see some are having good luck stopping the updates at 10.5.1...
I really hope apple is working on a solution that works...

i completely forgot about doing keystrokes.

jesus christ
oooo going to the apple store in 20 min so... hope something happens
haha sorry

they said it was a soft ware related issue and to erase and reinstall

did you fully update your fresh install with the 10.5.3 and graphics update? Some people seem to have good luck with 10.5.2, and to be honest, I really didn't have any problems before the .3 update... so I might be embarking on that adventure myself if I get really frustrated or Apple doesn't come up with a fix. Have to do a backup first... uugh.
ya he said to try and use the least amount of files and stuff to back up and see if it happens after each application installed.
but .3
didn't even know there was but i did do the graphic update go to check
ummm nothing... on .3
got the same problem.
but this fixed the issue for my SR 2.2 Ghz MBP
turn the MBP off.
remove the battery and all attached USB printers etc.
push the power button for 10 sec.
then put the battery back.
use your MBP as usual.
it did the trick for me just this morning

Having the same problem.
When my MBP wakes, all I get is the black screen. (This is not an issue with an external monitor, no bluetooth components, just the MBP.) I am able to get it to respond eventually by pressing the F1 and F2 keys a few times, moving the mouse around, clicking the mouse and pressing ENTER. I have never been forced to shutdown and reboot the MBP, although sometimes it feels like that would be easier.
I already have SafeSleep turned off, I have never had iStat installed. I do have 10.5.2 with the keyboard update.

this friggin sucks, i'm getting my my first mac (MBP) next week and i'd hate to have sleep problems
sorry - meant 10.5.2... there is no .3 yet. Most of the problems seemed to show up after the much anticipated .2 update, and / or the graphics update that followed a few days later.
My issue went away randomly on its own awhile ago. I originally tried changing to hibernate mode 0, which didn't help. I then uninstalled iStat widget, which didn't seem to fix it either. Then about a week later it just started working fine on its own....No clue. Its weird.
i think reseting the p ram helped
option apple key r and p
when restarting before the chime press and hold and it restart again then release

I hope you guys read console 'cause it says a lot of important things.
On mine it said that it was having issues sleeping the wireless, so disabling the wireless before a sleep helps. The other way is I close the screen again and reopen it (put it back to sleep and rewake it) and it works.

I recently changed my sleep mode back to normal, and put a new 320GB drive in my MBP, restored from time machine, downloaded the updates...
Now it works fine. So weird.
Well, I'm happy about it, but it's like an electrical problem in one's car. If it isn't happening, you can't figure out the problem.
