New rMBP sleep/wake failure crashes

I'm using the new Retina MacBook Pro running Mavericks, and in the short span I've used it I've encountered a problem multiple times where the machine crashes during sleep. (I also tend to leave my WD external hard drive plugged in, if that makes any difference.)


I have two error logs, but since they are quite lengthy I have made them viewable in this Evernote:

This fixed it for me!


1. Restart holding down Command and S at the same time. (By doing so you enter Single-User Mode.)

2. At the prompt type "mount -uw /" (without quotes) then press Enter.

3. At the next prompt type "cd /Library/Preferences" (without quotes) then press Enter.

4. At the next prompt type "mv com.apple.loginwindow.plist oldlogin" (without quotes) then press Enter.

5. And finally type "reboot" then press Enter.

this started happening to me about 10 days ago.


15-inch rMBP late 2013


I wiped the machine completely and rebuilt it from scratch. Was fine for 5 days and then this morning after being in sleep mode all night, I opened the lid to find the machine had crashed and rebooted.


Spoke with Apple and they said to bring it in to the g-bar. No idea what they think they can do.


Anyone have a definitive answer on this or ideas?

I have a macbook pro 13, late 2013. Had problems with sleep wake, every day it would crash. I couldn't wake it in the morning. Needed to plug in the power cable in and press the power button for several seconds causing a reboot. I was then presented with the error log of sleep wake which I sent to Apple.


10.9.3 did reduce the problem, but still crashed once a week. I installed 10.9.4 and now it crashes every day again.


i have no external usb attached. machine will not wake from sleep until i have put the power cable in and then press the power button for several seconds which causes a reboot. I then get the error report saying it failed to wake from sleep. every single day this happens!


I had the same problem with 10.9.2 and apple replaced the machine, but it didn't change anything until 10.9.3. Now with 10.9.4 it is back. I'm currently on chat with Apple to return the machine for good. It is just 2 months old. Forget it. I don't want this machine anymore. I will consider buying again once people stop reporting this problem. it is the most dame annoying problem to have with a brand new machine.


so, back to my trusty macbook air.

Holy moly, can't believe I'm finally able to post! Went all the way through another thread that was closed a month ago with no resolution.

So my issue has been identical on my current brand-new MacBook Pro and the Mac Mini that preceded it. Sleeps fine for an hour until it's SUPPOSED to wake to a login screen. When the hour's up, bingo. Usually (but not always) I can't get my video back, and SOMETIMES I can unplug the cable, plug it back in and get back to work. but lately I have to reboot completely.

I do have USB and Thunderbolt equipment attached, and have not yet tried unplugging them to see if anything different occurs. Will tonight.

This does NOT happen on my 2012 15" MacBook Pro with Retina, which has nothing attached usually.

So my question is -- is it unusual for this to happen on a Mac Pro or Mini? has anyone seen this happen on a Mac or or Mini? THANKS!

I have the exact same problem as everybody else here with my brand new Retina 15-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2014 that I bought like 2 weeks ago.

It just shuts down completely sometime while it's sleeping. All I can do is press the power button and it starts up again and takes a lot longer than a usual restart does. I tried reinstalling OS X twice and did the usual things they tell you when you call the support. Didn't help. I'm downloading and installing the newest Mavericks 10.9.5 beta (build 13F24) and hopefully theres a fix included already. I'll update this post if it helps.

10.9.5 worked fine for 2 days but on the 3rd day I encountered the same problem again. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

My Macbook Pro 17in late 2011 (with SSD) 10.9.4 (Build 13E28) suffers from "Sleep Wake Crash". Here is my power management setup, any clues on changing setup which may fix "Sleep Wake Crash". I have tried most other suggestions in discussion - to no avail.

Still covered by AppleCare - should I just present MBP to Apple.

Got the same "Sleep Wake Failure" problem with MacBookPro11 with retina display. Just recently upgraded to OS X 10.9.5. Has anyone received anything from Apple Support or a G Bar?

This is also happening to iMac 5K -- on Yosemite latest update. Happened on the first day so I did a full wipe (kind of ridiculous considering I had JUST gotten the machine out of the box) and it's still happening. Dropped 4 grand on this unit which happens to be my first mac and not a happy camper by any means.


Will call Apple Care and query.
