MacBook Air not wake up after sleep

This same problem happens to me - attempt to wake from sleep and the keyboard lights up and computer is completely unresponsive, necessitating a hard shutdown-reboot. I have the mid-2013 MacBook Air.

The only instances of it occurring that I have noted are when:

i) I am on battery power (though using the adapter, I have set MBA to never sleep);

ii) I try to wake the MBA within about 1-2 seconds of it sleeping.

It ALWAYS occurs just as I tap the spacebar to prevent sleep, and otherwise, the sleep/wake function works as normal. Again, this has only occurred since updating to Mavericks, suggesting software issues.

Did the SMC+PRAM reset and unchecked and MBA did wake up this morning without a problem.

Hope this is for good

I have reset the SCM and also turned off all battery-saving functions (turning off hard-drives when possible etc.) - resetting PRAM isn't something that is going to help the situation, according to the relevant apple supprt page.

Doing these things unfortunately hasn't change anything 😟

I have early 2011 MBP, upgraded to Mavericks from directly Lion (Mountain Lion was too buggy for me).

It doesn't seem to make a difference if my laptop is connected to a power supply or not - as soon as it is left alone after going into sleep mode (including closing the lid or just leaving open for long enough for the monitor to go off), then I can only get to see the login screen, but after ~2 seconds, whether I click on the password-field or not, I get the beachball, which seems to be a neverending beacgball of doom - have left it for 20 minutes and it never got itself out of this limbo.

I have read a lot of forums, but nobody seems to have found a permanent solution to this whole debacle.

I will try an Apple Genius Bar sometime soon, but I won't hold my breathe there! Hopefully Apple will just release an update for Mavericks very soon!!

MacBook Air september 2013 running Maverick with revision 1.0

Second day without the getting out of sleep problem. Did a SMC and PRAM reset and unchecked everything in energy saver preferences.

Hope this is for good

Yes, I have experienced the same occurrence, ....

unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" and not a single occurrence since then.

😊

I got the same problem with my new Macbook air 2013. When it goes to sleep, it somtimes frezze with the keyboard light on. Then i have to hold down the power butten, and restart. Hope Apple will fix this soon.

Her is a temp. solution. Do a SMC reset, then do not adjust anything in power settings, just leave it alone. This work for me.

SMC RESET

• Shut down the computer.
• Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
• On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
• Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Same problem, Mid 2013 13" MacBook Air, 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM.

Same problem for me as well

So glad its not just me on my MBA 2012

- Hope Apple issue a fix in the mean time am trying suggestions made on posts - thanks

I performed a SMC + PRAM and 2 days now i have no problem🙂

Well, I got a replacement Macbook Air (since the one I had was only a week old). I've been using the replacement for a week now and it has not yet frozen in sleep mode. Lets hope it stays that way!!

i have the same problem (MBA 2013).
Apple assistence advise me various solution to fix that:

Reset Pram
Reset SMC
Delete cache
Delete saved application state
Delete startupitems

Repair Disk in safe mode

Repair Permission in safe mode

Deactivate bluetooth

no one works. the problem came back again after 2/3 hours.

i try to inzialize disk and install again Maverick. same issue

I surrendered. I disabled sleep mode and wait for an upgrade from apple

I've been having this problem intermitently, no pattern seems to be emerging on my 2013 11in MBA, I have read some other posts and they have been succesful reseting the "hibernate" function to 0 from it's default of 3.

This trick has been known to work, I tried it and will see tomorrow if it does.

Just did the hibernate resetting.

My MBA 2013 Maverick goes to sleep and wake up perfectly for 2 or three days and then boom, it doesn't wake up.

Will see if this will do it.
