MacBook Pro Won't Wake from Sleep

When the problem happens again, please post back with your panic.log report. (Console -> /Library/log -> Panic Report -> most recent report). We want to know if it's a kernel panic first of all, and second, what causes the panic.

I was having this issue (as stated in my previous post in this thread), I called AppleCare regarding it and they told me to do an erase and install. After the erase and install, I used the computer over the weekend and the issue was still prevalent over that course of time. So after another call to Apple they replaced my computer and I got a new Penryn MacBook Pro. For now I'm a happy camper 🙂

wow! this is definitely one of those isolated cases.
whether you go to a apple store or call apple care, they'll blame the issue to the 10.5.2 graphics update.
they don't typically hand you a new MBP just for this.

so to all those with the same problem, don't get your hopes up to soon.

One thing I probably should've mentioned though, is that the MacBook Pro that they replaced was a replacement. In other words they replaced the original MacBook Pro with the SR one and then replaced the SR one with the Penryn one. And they had my pack up the MacBook Pro in the original box and send it to their depot in Northern California. As soon as it was shipped they shipped the replacement and it got to me in a day. (It was a stock MacBook Pro)

i absolutely know nothing about which model is which. so im guessing you go the same one you had, and it wasn't older than 14 days

I did get the base model again, but I did get the Penryn model instead of the Santa Rosa one. And it was over 2 months old.
 
Well, I uninstalled iStat Pro and it seems to have fixed it. However, the problem is now I don't have iStat Pro anymore. I'll need to find another widget of the same type. Maybe iStat nano?
 
I've been using that Deep Sleep widget and it seems to be working alright. Granted it is waaaaaay too slow for a permanent fix.

I think my Macbook Pro has just been trying to spite me. It seems like it wakes fine when I'm doing casual stuff, but every time I needed it for something important, like taking it out at a meeting, it wouldn't turn on the screen and I would have to restart it.

When apple tells people that its the graphics update, or 10.5.2, are they just like "Well I guess it sucks to be you"? Or is there actually something in the works to fix this? Being able to sleep/wake a computer seems like a fairly major feature.

I have to admit, while I love my mac in general way more than I did my PCs (I switched about a year ago), I could always come up with some ridiculous solution to the problems I had on the PC. On the mac, I feel like sometimes you're just like "Well Ok. I guess that doesn't work. Hopefully it will someday."

when you were using a PC.. and you encountered a problem..
Grrr... WHY can't you be like MAc?

now that you've switched to the better OS..
when you encounter a problem
Grrr...WHY can't you be...???
oh well!😀
 
Just wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same issue. Haven't tried zapping PRAM or anything yet though. Glad to see it's not just me! I was getting worried...my MBP just got replaced through Applecare and this didn't start happening for me until I received the new one. The last thing I want is another bad 'book 🙂

Since I haven't gotten my mac yet (2 more weeks til my parents get me one augh it's killing me), I can imagine that feeling. I've had different kinds of problems and some really serious ones (wouldn't boot etc) and I'd tinker with my PC laptop for hours to figure it out and solve it.

Crap I hope I don't get this damn sleep problem when I get my MBP. It'd just kill the whole switching experience 😡

After receiving the Penryn replacement MacBook Pro, I am happy to say that I am problem free so far. No sleep issues, so no worries 🙂
 
I have had this problem twice now in the one week I have been using Leopard on my 7 month old MBP.

Both times, I closed the lid and waited for it to sleep once again. I opened up the lid and the MBP woke up after this. At least I didn't have to lose anything I had open.
 
I called applecare and they were like "We have an EFI update that is supposed to fix wake from sleep issues in Macbook Pros. It is an internal fix and wouldn't have shown up on software update because it is too new."

I think "sweet that sounds perfect" and go to the site after hanging up. Of course it was an update from November 2006 for way older Macbook Pros. I don't even know why the guy suggested that to me. 😡
 
glad to see I'm not the only one. My MPB started doing it over the weekend or late last week. I was beginning to think .2 as well, citing other posts. I also have noticed that .2 hasn't seemed to have solve the delayed response to the keyboard like it was supposed to
 
ya this weekend ill be reinstalling to see if it fixes everything.
not looking forward to getting all my software back especially x code (it takes so long to download)

Soooo...what do you think my chances of your luck are? 😉

Would you recommend calling Apple or going to a store? I mean, a replacement would be nice, but as long as it just stops this nonsense, I don't really care one way or the other...

Also, when you do a fresh install of Leopard, do you need to backup your stuff first or does it not affect it?

(Sorry to sort of hijack this thread a little bit... 🙂)
