Problem with waking from sleep with 10.8.2

My Mac Pro (early 2009 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) won't wake from deep sleep after installing OS X 10.8.2 . I have the default setting set for sleep. The only way to "wake" the machine is to hold the power button down to shut down and then restart. I've reset NVRAM (pram) and tried removing power cable. Nothing helps.

Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hello everybody, I have the solution.

This program change the default configuration, open your terminal and type


pmset -g | grep hibernatemode


This option display your configuration of sleep mode, the default is 3. The program make 5


For back to 3, just type in your terminal


sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3


And congratulations!!!


Problema com deepsleep.com no Mac 10.8


Olá a todos, eu tive problema após instalar esse componente em meu Mac, pois toda vez precisava ser reiniciado, quando eu fechava a tela era para hibernar e simplesmente ao voltar travava, perdia tudo.


Desistalei o widget e nada, então fui ver o que ele fez no terminal. Ele muda a configuração padrão de sleep.


O padrão é 3, ele altera para o 5 e trava na hora de "hibernar", para ver como está sua configuração digite


pmset -g | grep hibernatemode


Caso não apareça o número 3, então volte a configuração original, para isso digite


sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3


Agora é só baixar a tela e parabéns !!!! Tudo deve voltar ao normal.

Rob (bonfire),


This was exactly my issue. Thanks for tracking down those log files and the new driver.


For documentation purposes, I upgraded from 10.7 to 10.8.2 and had the problem described—the computer woke into "dark wake" two hours after having been put to sleep, but became unresponsive. I hadn't made any changes to wake on LAN settings. The log on my machine was very similar to what Rob posted.


Upgrading the video drivers to the ones listed solved the problem, no further steps necessary.


It'll be interesting to see if this is addressed in 10.8.3.

Hello,


Just found out that on an iMac Intel model early 2008

OS-X 10.8.2 (fresh install) also gives a sleep mode buck.

I tested the same iMac with 10.7.5 and 10.6.8 and no wake up problems.

So this is definately a bug in 10.8.2


When the computer is in sleep mode and I wake up the iMac,

I see a double (stereo) distorted screen.

Changing the hibernate mode unfortunately won't help.

Change the resolution to a lower level and than back to normal won't help.

I cannot stop the 'stereo' distorted screen, untill I restart the iMac.



TEMPORARY SOLUTION

To temporary solve sleep mode problems in 10.8.2 with every Mac,

is to change the sleep mode of the iMac into 'never'.


Best regards,

Danny

I know this is mostly about the 10.8.2 update bug, but I'm on 10.7.5 and still have the "wake from sleep" issue....I've played with the sleep settings, I had it on NEVER at first, then this issue started, so I changed it to 3 HRS, and it started to work fine again -- for about 2 weeks. Now it's back to not waking up again, but it's not consistant, it's a crap shoot whether it will wake up or not. Not sure if this is related, but I know my battery is 3 years old and probably needs replacing soon, but it still charges fine and has the same run time as it always had. Anyone else have this problem on 10.7.5?

Hi Billy,


Try a wired keyboard in stead of a wireless keyboard and see if this solves the wake-up problem.


If not,

go to your 'User library' and than to 'preferences'.

Delete these two files:


com.apple.screensaver.plist


com.apple.screensaver.plist.lockfile


Restart computer.

Repair disk permissions.

Try again.


If the problem is still there,

make a (temporary) new user.

Try the wake up issue in this new user and see if the problem is gone.

If the problem is gone, maybe more preferences and/ or caches in your user library became corrupted.


If problem is still there, disconnect all third party usb and firewire devices that are (wired) connected to your mac.

Try again.



Best regards,

Danny
