Q: My late 2013 15" MacBook Pro Retina occasionally does not wake up when lid is opened.

Hey guys,

having the same issue with my rMBP 15" 2013. Make sure to check this post:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5500276?start=120&tstart=0

it seems to be connected to the USB port, and here especially with devices needing an external power supply. Check the post of digitalmen on page 9 for example.

Replacing machines did not help a single user.

Hope it gets resolved soon.

Guess What...? woke up this morn, opened the lid... and yes, it happened again!!!. Had to press on switch for a few seconds and then re-press on switch again (no matter how long i press the firstt time, it won't come on) and then wait approx 6 seconds for it to come on..I think there are a lot more than just us with this issue who are just living with it!! I've swicthed energy saving back to default. Surely, we shouldn't have to close all open programs down and turn off the lap top every night.....Or, maybe we do??

Thanks for the link and info Tobias, it's quite clear that there are some serious issues between the new USB ports, the firmware and/or Mavericks, issues which are casuing multiple different types of problems i.e. trackpad and keyboard lock ups, wake-up failures etc

On the USB issue, I never leave anything plugged into my computer overnight, so I don't think that's the problem. Unless there's more than one cause of this problem...

Me neither, I hardly have a USB plugged in at all, maybe a couple of minutes on the odd day, but never left plugged in at night. There's something funny going on with the USB and firmware due to the strange amount of logs being preoduced in the 'Console', but as far as not waking up due to a USB being plugged in, that's not the case with mine.

Let's hope Apple iron out all these kinks in the next round of firmware updates, if not then I'm going to be seeing a lot of them! (i.e. Apple employees)

Hey guys,

just tested the USB-theory posted in the link (see my post from above, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5500276?start=120&tstart=0).

The USB connection seems to be the problem with me. I ejected all devices overnight, unplugged USB, put my mac to sleep - and it woke up the next morning without problems.

I can only recommend to check out this post and check weather it applies to you. A lot of people seem to be affected by that...

I've never had anything plugged into the USB...occasionally will have the power cable in over night. But it will still happen with or without the cable in. I'm actually frustrated the way Apple make it soooo difficult to open themselves up to learn about potential faults in their products. I have everything Apple because it has been so effeciant. Now, I'm starting to worry about how sales pitch and sales have become more important than customer service.....They need to be on top of these type of issues which have been highlighted. I'd like to see them regulary post out on their webs sites issues that have come to light and encourage a response from their customers on whether or not that have those same issues....priorities , deal with and give regular feedback on how they are progressing with those issues.... A bit like the way our cable company operate when they have problems Ina given area..........So frustrating!!!!!!!

Had any luck with the wake up issue? I've just been turning mine off at night rather than putting it to sleep.  Mine wakes up fine on short sleeps, it's just the long night sleeps where it won't wake up, I might give it a go at sleeping again tonight and see what happens in the morning.

Same with mine - ok with short rests but long (over night ) it's more likely not going to start up from sleep. Still hoping Apple will read and take note of customers concerns over this issue. On that note, how does one force complaint further up the line?

Yep haha

I put my 13" rMBP to sleep for 6 hours last night and this morning it woke up fine, not that means much as it could possibly do it again on a longer sleep period, I'll try again tonight and leave it for about 7 or 8 hours and report back.

I was ready today to call this issue dependent on the length of the sleep period, where longer sleep=greater chance of failing to wake, but today I closed my (2013 15" retina) MBP when I left work and it failed to wake only a few hours later, after getting home.

I think the USB-related issue mentioned in the other quoted post is a separate issue from the "black screen" unprovoked failure to wake from sleep that is discussed here.

Same here....Left it over night and opened fine and during the day closed for at least 8 hrs and opened without a hitch. It's obviously an intermttent problem but what causes it is still a mistery!! COME ON APPLE...what the **** is it??
