MacBook Pro won't "wake" up after sleep mode!

On a MacBook Pro 15" 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 10.5.1:
Sometimes, after my MacBook goes to sleep, it will not wake up! I press every single key and tried closing and reopening the MacBook but the screen remains black. However the indicator light that pulstates while it is in sleep mode does turn off after the first attempt at trying to wake it up. After that if i close the MacBook again the light will not pulsate. I always end up having to manually shut down my MacBook and boot again. Has anybody else had this problem? It only occurs once in a while but is very annoying. Any ideas?

On my macbook pro this is almost always the result of letting the computer sleep when the battery is very low. Once it tells me I am on reserve power, if I don't plug in before it sleeps, it does not want to wake up. My rule of thumb with laptops is that you don't let them sleep for long periods of time, unless they are plugged into power. That's just my experience.

Its a leopard bug. Wife's computer locked up when it went to sleep. We turned off the rss visualizer screen saver and so far it hasn't had problems waking. Keeping fingers crossed.

The MAc is going into a mode called safe sleep. There is a fix for it using the terminal. Here is a post on how to fix it.

I am having the same exact problem. Here is an excerpt from my system log when the freeze occurs.
At 1-31 11:00:07 I open the lid. About a minute later I have to do a hard restart because the desktop will not come up. The Caps Lock and Num Lock keys both respond to input, so I have no idea what is going on here.

After having this same sleep issue with my original 2006 Macbook I have done some looking around and am posting everything I have found so far. I have read trying a few things.
1. reset the SMC
2. install BatteryUpdate200701, MacBookMacBookProKbdSU, and MacBookSMCUpdate
3. uncheck "Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep", in System Preferences/ Energy Saver/ Options/...
4. I have read about making script changes made in Terminal, but am hesitant to take this route, since I am not sure how it will effect future OS X updates
I did steps 1, 2 and 3. I will report back on their effects in a few days.
Side note. An unusual thing I have noticed when repairing disk permissions using the Disk Utility software is getting the same errors every time. I found a page on the Apple website concerning this here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306925. Apple writes: "You can safely ignore these messages. They are accurate but not a cause for concern." huh...
I am hoping the next OS X update will help with the permissions and sleep issues.

I'm having this same problem.
It only happens when the lid has been closed.
It happens about 10% of the time.
The hard drive spins on when opening. Then nothing.
I have no peripherals.
The battery is usually full.
I have the latest OS updates (10.4.11)
Is Apple suggesting I need to purchase 10.5 to solve this problem?

If it's any consolation, the same thing is happening on my Intel Core2Duo iMac. Oftern (not always) won't wake up from sleep. Mouse, keyboard (wireless), remote have no effect.

I'm having the same problem as everyone else. I have a iMac G5. It starts up sometimes but most of the time it just sits there with a black screen. I tried reinstalling my OS and after I installed all the updates about 2 weeks later it started again. I'm running Tiger on a first generation G5 iMac. Apple fix please. I ran the terminal code as suggested several post up. I let you know if it works. Like I said it's so intermittent that I'll have to wait a day or so to tell if the problem is gone or not.

Application Enhancer seems to be the problem. I upgraded to a newer version. The terminal commands that I said I would try. Well I guess when the computer tried to go to safe sleep mode it just shut down. Anyone that tried it change 0 to 3 it will bring it back. Anyway like I was saying I believe it to be from Application Enhancer I just up graded to the latest one 2.0.3 If it doesn't work after that then I'm going to uninstall it.

This worked for me:
1) Shut down MacBook and remove the battery;
2) Hold down the Start button for ten seconds and then release it;
3) Reinstall the battery
4) Restart the computer
This procedure resets the MacBook's PRAM settings which contain many of the computer's basic settings, including the RAM disc which needs to be accessed for the computer to awaken.
For those having this problem on a desktop, see Apple's instructions for resetting your computer.

I have had the same problem. The computer sleeps and will not wake up. I read in one of these threads that the energy saving setting could be the source of the sleeping. I remember just having made a change.
The impact was dramatic. I unchecked the Wake Options: Wake for Ethernet network administrator access and uncheck Other Options: Automatically reduce the brightness of the display before display sleep. I have not had a problem in the last 24 hours. The day before I had to restart the computer 4 times. Give this a try. the only option I have checked in the Options tab is Show battery status in the menu bar.
