iMac freezes in sleep mode and does not awake anymore, must be booted Hi everyone, my iMac (OS Mojave 10.14.4, iMac late 2013, 29.Ghz Intel Core i5, 8GB 1600 Mhz DDR3) since yesterday repeatedly freezes in sleep mode and I am not able to wake it up, not with a mouse click, neither with keyboard, or with the on-of button. The only way out has been the first time to take away the power supply, the second time to press the button long enough to cause a new boot. Hardware test does not find any issue. When rebooted apparently everything is working fine. Thanks a lot for any advice! Regards Claudio

System Sleep Wake Problem - My Imac doesn't turn on Hello. All started when I accidentally unplugged the IMac while it was on. After that the computer didn't turn on no matter what I tried to do. I had lost hope when after about seven days the computer turned on by itself without me touching it! The message it showed me was that "System Sleep Wake experienced a problem". I used the IMac for a while and everything seemed to be going well. When I turned off the IMac, I had the same problem again. It doesn't turn on again. Any idea what the problem is or what I can do to solve it?

Don't use Sleep! Put the display to sleep. Below is a screen shot of my Energy Saver settings, been using this for years without any issues.

It is also wise to restart the computer in Safe Mode too.
