MacBook Pro won't sleep

Since the update of my MacBook Pro to El Capitan, the sleep function has stopped working. The screensaver comes into play as it always has, but he just continues to run unless the laptop is closed. Energy saving: sleep display is set for 10 minutes. The computer sleep is set for 15 minutes. I checked the activity monitor for all apps that might interfere with the sleep function (see a 'yes' in the preventive action of sleep column). There are not. I believe that I can reset the SMC, but thought I would inquire about the community before doing this.

Thank you

  • MacBook pro grey after sleep screen

    I have documented on this problem for some time now on the MacBook screen goes black or rather a visible backlight gray but black screen after being in standby mode. I tried the reset SMC and command + Option + P + R. I am owner of a mid 2014 13 "macbook pro retina.

    Hi Youngnn,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities. It is my understanding you are MacBook Pro shows a gray screen after being in mode 'sleep'. I want to help get this resolved with you.

    You did a great job with the steps taken so far. At this point, I recommend this test in safe mode. Start in safe mode prevents the opening and start-up items to open automatically. Safe mode also allows your Mac to conduct some controls. If the problem does not occur in safe mode, it is possible to a startup item or logon are the cause. Please follow the steps below to start in safe mode:

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem persists in safe mode try this test to another user. This will help determine whether specific user files, settings and apps cause this problem. Please use the link below to test in an another user account and additional steps:

  • Is it bad if you left your macbook pro in mode 'sleep' for 2 days?

    so I am only new macbook stuff and I have a problem. I hope you guys can help me...

    This bothered me and I need to have a concrete answer.

    BTW, it of also my first macbook pro 13 "with the retina and im a little FAKE and simply wanted the best for my mac.

    so I ate dinner on Saturday night and I put my mac to sleep and thought I'll come back on that a little later but then some of my family members came rushing in our House and I totally forgot the mac. they left Sunday. So today, Monday, 01:36, I decided to use it again and now I forgot to close! I am a shutter downer and I rarely put to sleep for a few reasons of OCD. Ive had this mac for less than a month. Is it bad for the overall mac? Or im just paranoid?

    In short, ive had to sleep during the day 1 and a half or two. And also to mention, the mac is placed inside the box, it came with it, because I have not bought anyway or the handle immediately.

    Thank you for the answers!

    There is no problem to leave it in mode 'sleep'. However, do not in an enclosure for example a box or a box.

  • Mid-2015 MacBook Pro won't start every 2 weeks, need to restore from a backup.

    Hello all, big problem, Apple says that it is not material (although I'm not sure), but if not, then there must be some sort of conflict between my installed software and the new model of MacBook Pro mid-2015. Help!

    The problem here is that I've been running EXACTLY the same configuration on a MacBook Pro 2012 since, well, 2012, without any problem. But when I received the new machine in December, I migrated everything on (using Migration Assistant), I have installed a Bootcamp partition, migrated my old installation of Windows on the use of WinClone, and everything was fine for about 2 weeks. This is the same process as I did when I upgraded the machine from 2009 to 2012 also machine well.

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    I called Apple, went to two Apple stores, and we all tried to run disk utility to fix the problem. But every time I find myself with a message "Invalid node structure. The volume could not be completely checked. File system check exit code 8. Updated scores of start-up of the volume as required. File system check or repair a failure. Operation failed... "The topic on this bed,"first aid process has failed, if possible, back up the data on this volume. »

    The idea of first re - install the operating system didn't work... apparently there was a problem with the volume at this point so he would not restore. The next option was to completely erase the partition and then restore the backup. That worked, but then the entire process repeated two weeks later.

    I have been through this process 7 ~ 8 times since December! It seems to happen every two weeks and no one can tell me why it's happening on this new machine, but I have NOT had the problem on the old machine running the same configuration.


    Apple said it might have something to do with execution Tuxera NTFS on Mac (if I can share documents across side Windows). I have not removed... Tuxera two restorations there is no change.

    I also use Paragon HFS + for Windows, because most of my material is actually stored on the Mac side. I have NOT yet removed this (current running Windows 10) because I have NO idea why or how something running on the Windows side could affect the operating system volume on the side of Mac... especially when everything I do is opening and closing things as Word documents.

    I have log files and screenshots (I write below a few... but there are many others). Apple says "it is not a hardware problem" so they won't have to help understand if it's just software. I beg the community to help!

    Here's what I new material:

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

    Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2048 MB

    This graphics card is the NEW one, first, that I do business with AMD

    My OLD machine is:

    MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012)

    Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz

    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

    Any help or ideas are appreciated!

    Suddenly one day, starting from Windows to Mac OS, I watched the progress bar filling, then stop, then the screen went black. No sound, nothing. I hit the power button and the same sequence. Progress bar about 3/4 of way filled, on the screen then black, then the unit turns off.

    This occurs when the drive Boot CAN get the initial Blob of the software off the drive with the boot loader, but when he tried to mount the disk with the file system, it can not be mounted. It runs a single past of [essential] disk first aid. If the drive cannot be mounted, your Mac can not do something useful, he died.

    If the problem could not be fixed quickly, you should have been advised to REPLACE this hard drive.

    This is what you need to do now and stop wasting your time. A new drive costs less than $ 100 and will solve your problems.

  • battery drains while the macbook pro is in sleep

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch, retina.  About 6 months.

    Problem: Battery drains about 4%-5% per hour or more, while the computer is in sleep.  Which means that if I go to bed with the 30% battery charge, I'll wake up to a dead computer.

    It started to happen about 2 weeks ago.  I already brought to an authorized, who ran the diagnostics.  Initially he failed cooling system test, but he re-greased the sink 'fan', and supposedly he passed all the tests.  But battery still absurdly quickly.

    I tried to reset the SMC, by someone on the suggestion of this forum, but didn't seem to help.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated!

    Bring it for repair.  Your MBP has a warranty for which you paid the money.  Use the warranty.

    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro won't restart and has vertical lines that go down the scree.

    Recently, my macbook pro to update so I rebooted. To do this, the computer turns on and starts the update but there are lines running down the screen. To about 1/4 of the way through, the screen turns gray, and then shuts down and restarts the process again. I ran a test of equipment and he came without any problem. Is there a way to fix this without going through Apple.

  • MacBook Pro won't start not

    Hello

    I have a MacBook Pro that, if I'm not mistaken that I bought in 2009. So, last week I had several open files and I was typing on a Word document, I typed whenever he got more lag. Then my laptop just turned off automatically and I received a message (I don't remember very well what it read) and after that I tried to turn it on again, the start bar just loaded up to half, he stayed there for 10 minutes, then the computer is turned off again. Help, I can't lose the files that I had in this computer. What should I do?

    Thanks for your help.

    Try SMC and NVRAM resets:

    Try a safe boot:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201262

    If no success, using the original installation CD and see if you can start the MBP.

    If you can, after the language selection, the display should have a top menu bar.  Click on UTILITIES and select and run disk utility > first aid.  If the disk cannot be repaired, a new will be necessary.

    If you cannot start with the installation diskettes, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation.

  • MacBook pro won't turn on if plugged into the charger

    My Macbook pro (13 "early 2011) lights if it is plugged in the charger and as soon as unplug you it the computer turns off again. There was no damage, I'm always so careful with her but she just started to do this week

    Hello

    You most likely need a replacement battery for your Macbook. You can bring to an Apple Store and ask them to replace the battery. If you have Applecare, it should be free. They can also do it for free if there is no visible damage to the product (think it's a manufacturing defect). You can request the service directly from Apple or a local Apple authorized service provider.

    You can go here for more information in the center of Apple - Support - response Service

  • MacBook Pro won't feed - need to disconnect/reconnect the battery.

    I have a 'early 2011' MacBook Pro 17 "which does not illuminate when the power switch is pressed.    He worked normally in the last time it was used.

    I'm a PC I / specialist t so I did some fault finding.  Here are the results and measures, I tried:

    1. Power button and no indication button has been pressed.
    2. Button on the side and he said fully charged battery.
    3. Adapter a/c and LED power connector attached LED lights up in green as it is supported.
    4. You press the power button - still no indication of any attempt to power on.
    5. Let Reset SMC pressing SHIFT, control, Option, and power switch.  All released.   You press the power button - still no indication of any attempt to power on.
    6. Power button which is held down for 15 seconds, released, then no hurry once - no change.
    7. Disconnected a/c power.
    8. Removed the back cover.
    9. Battery disconnected from the system board connector.
    10. Connected a/c adapter and power button pressed - no change.
    11. Disconnected the a/c adapter.
    12. Back in the connected battery system board connector.
    13. Joint a/c adapter and the system performed a reset, then IPL upward and ran normally.
    14. System "Shut down" and then press the power button - would not be back.
    15. Removed the a/c adapter and pressed the power button - still wouldn't back off.
    16. Disconnected a/c adapter, disconnected the battery, battery reconnected to the system board.  Power button - will not turn on.
    17. Repeat the procedure which worked previously - a/c offline, disconnected battery system board, connected a/c, press button power (no signs of activity), disconnected a/c, battery reconnected to the governing body of the system, reconnected a/c and it reset and power!
    18. Let system and then "reset" (instead of closing) - it restarts correctly.
    19. Shut down the system and then I tried to power - will not turn on.
    20. Bottom line: it seems that the procedure which will get the system starts, after it is closed: disconnected a/c, disconnecting the battery system board, connected a/c, press power button (no signs of activity), disconnected a/c, reconnected battery to the system board, reconnected a/c and it resets and starts.

    OK, so you MacBook Pro experts out there... what seems to be the problem and what measures would you recommend I take?

    THX,

  • MacBook Pro won't start - runs in a loop

    Hi guys,.

    After a few days trying to figure this painful problem, I am at the end of my home and hope someone can help.

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro, which has recently started having problems to start. During a game session (SIMMS), he all of a sudden to stop and refused to restart, and since then I have been unable to use it at all. The MBP has a new installation of El Capitan on it, but it has been working well for the past two weeks since the installation.

    I tried the safe mode, mode of recovery etc, but it would not boot in any of these either. Finally, I put it target mode and reloaded El Capitan of another 'companion' MacBook Pro. This process went smoothly.

    After loading it, I started from the MacBook to make sure that the operating system works OK, and it was 'companion '!

    I restarted the "Companion" MBP and ejected the defective MBP and tried to restart it normally. No go, would not even boot even with the new OS.

    I tried a number of things so he can begin as a result of this new facility, but all that happens is that he'll do the Apple Logo, try to start, stop, and then go around in circles.

    Finally you will stop on the gray screen and the fans will start and keep running.

    I'm at the end of my knowledge, so any advice would be welcome!

    Thank you

    Have you tried SMC and NVRAM resets?

  • OfficeJet 8500 has 910: Macbook Pro won't find my Officejet Pro 8500 printer

    Until recently, my Officejet 8500 910 has worked very well with my Macbook Pro, desktop computer wireless Mac and iPad.  Now, it will not be printed with any of these devices. Yesterday, he worked with my iPad, but today it says that it cannot find the printer. On my Macbook and desktop computer, it is impossible to find the printer when I try to add.  You can find the scanner and fax part of my all-in-one, but not the printer. I deleted all my printers and tried to add this back.  I've stopped and restarted. I checked that my printer is connected.

    I have same thing happened with a HP wireless printer in the 8600 series to work.  Sometimes he would find and connect.  Other times, it wouldn't. I appreciate all help.  Thank you!

    Hey @Jeanne33,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I see that your Officejet Pro 8500 all-in-One Printer does not appear on your network. I can help you with that.

    1. As you only use Apple products means that the printer is no longer connected to your network or a parameter has been changed on your network. That being said, this is what we will do:
      Turn the printer off.
    2. While the printer is off, remove the power cord at the back of the router for a minute.
    3. When the lights came on the router, turn on the printer.
    4. Try to print.

    At this point if you are not able to print, then we will do the following:

    1. On the printer, click on Configuration, network and wireless view summary.
    2. If you see a line indicating connected the printer is properly connected to the network. If this is not the case, then, from the main screen, click on Configuration, network and wireless configuration wizard to add the printer to your network. Try once done printing.

    At this point, you should be able to print. If the printer still doesn't seem to add as a device for the Mac or appear on any other device and then you have a setting on the router that has changed. Your best option would be to communicate with the person who is provided with the router and ask them to do the following:

    • Open all ports.
    • Select multicast.
    • Disable MAC filtering/MAC cloning.
    • Disable the guest network
    • Make sure that the router has a band of 2.4 GHz.

    Please let me know if this allows you to print or if you have any other questions. If not, have a great day!

    If this solves your problem, then please help others find this post by clicking on accept as Solution on my post.

  • MacBook Pro stops during sleep

    My MBP 15 "mid-2015 retina stop completely during sleep. Often when I get back to my MBP, I have to start from scratch because it stopped during sleep. There is no message in the log to indicate why it closed and no error messages or indications of kernel panic. Sometimes the power and battery and with or without the lid closed. Latest OS X with all updates applied.

    Reset the SMC (and NVRAM) does not help. Apple Diagnostics is no problem, and Genius Bar suggested I have first of all to make an OS X install excessive, then a clean install because they believe that it is a software problem. I tried to install too, and it made no difference. Pure install then, but I delayed, because it involves a lot of work in store again my work environment and data, it is not useless in current state - it's just a problem of waiting for the start up and then restore whatever, I was working on the last.

    Any advice?

    There is no message in the log to indicate why it closed.

    There could be.

    Wait until the Mac stops unexpectedly, and then check your system.log file to identify the numeric code associated with the stop. Read below.

    Locate the Console application - it is located in your utilities folder and looks like this

    You can find it by selecting utilities in the Finder go menu.

    Open the Console.

    If the list of newspapers on the left column is not already displayed, view journal list by selecting view list of newspapers on display menu of the Console.

    Locate system.log in the list, and then select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you need to find the relevant entries to your Mac problem.

    Do that type the word cause stop in the field filter on the top right of the Console window.

    Who will do all the log entries be hidden, except for entries that contain these words. There will be a numeric code associated with the entry of journal from «Cause of previous stop» What is this code?
