13" MBP Mid 2010 won't wake up after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion

Hi
I read numerous threads regarding this problem from Mac Minis to Mac Pros and also MBA and MBP. After upgrade from Lion to Mavericks, my MBP cannot wake up. I have to hold the power button down to force it to turn off then power it back up from hibernation. SMC reset, Mavericks reinstalled, Repaired Disk Permission, ram refresh, all done and did not help.
It helps whenever the computer goes to sleep, whether forcefully by choosing Sleep from the Apple Menu or by closing the lid.
Anyone please help, if not, APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS BUG.
Thanks
J

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd.

My mbp (mid 2010) is running extremely slow after installing some mavericks updates on May 22nd. Earlier I thought this behavior is due to spotlight indexing but it finished after 3 days. I deleted all caches from library. But no luck, still running extremely slow. I checked activity monitor for cpu usage, it shows above 90% is idle. The memory usage always shows PM - 4 GB, Memory Used 3.96 GB, VM - 4 GB, Swaped used 0 bytes, App Memory 1.82 GB, File Cache 1.44 GB, Wired Memory 480 MB.
Thanks in adavnce for help.

Was it the combo updater that was installed or the OS X 10.9.3 update. There is a difference.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install. So if you think you've got a borked 10.8.4 install from a regular update, just run the 10.8.4 Combo Updater on that system.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.1 to 10.9.2. If somehow the 10.9.2 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.1 and 10.9.2 it will still be stale after the delta update.

Safari won't load some images (after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion)

Hi,
I've noticed that since I upgraded my OS from Lion to Mavericks, Safari won't load all images on certain websites.
I've tried loading the same pages on my daughter's MacBookPro (she upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks) and everything works just fine.
We cross checked the Safari preferences and everything is identical.
Below are two pictures, the first one taken from my computer, the second one from my daughter's. As you can see, in the first photo the image won't display, while it's been perfectly loaded in the second photo.
Here's the website: http://blog.alice.tv/berengario/2013/11/16/trasmissione-su-arturo-tv/
I've tried opening the same page on Firefox, and all images are perfectly displayed.
Could you please help me?
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
Leo

2GB MBA (2010 version) Out of memory after upgrading to Mavericks

I'm using a 2GB MBA (2010 version). After upgrading to Mavericks, I have very little ram left (<50MB). I can't run anything. Even the Internet is breaking up. Safari won't load anything. I get to some webpages using Chrome if I'm lucky... is it normal?

Do a backup. Then try running the combo update.

Imac (2010) won't wake up after installing yosemite

blue screen, with lots of disk activity but won't wake without a hard restart. This is rough on the system (or will need to turn off sleep mode). Is there a fix for this that anyone knows of, or must we wait for an update? don't have the problem with my macbook air (2011) - thx

Step 1
Take all the applicable steps in this support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. Please read the whole article carefully (some of it is hidden by disclosure triangles) and don't skip any of the steps, including the ones under the heading "Additional troubleshooting." If you don't understand any of the steps, ask for guidance.
Step 2
If you're running OS X 10.8.5 or earlier, from the menu bar select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Accessibility
If the checkbox at the bottom marked
          Enable access for assistive devices
is checked, uncheck it and test.
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Security & Privacy ▹ Privacy ▹ Accessibility
If any applications are listed on the right and have a checked box next to them, uncheck all the boxes and test. You may first have to click the padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate as an administrator to unlock the settings.
Step 3
In the Energy Saver pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked
          Put hard disks to sleep when possible
Step 4
This and the next step must be taken as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that heading, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You may see one or more reports with a name that begins with "Sleep Wake Failure" followed by a date. Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
Step 5
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ Diagnostic and Usage Messages
In the search box in the window's toolbar, enter "powerd" (without the quotes.)
You may see one or more lines like this:
com.apple.message.signature: Platform Failure
If you do see that, and you did everything in the preceeding steps, then you're dealing with an internal hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro (15") - GPUPanic after updating to Mavericks

I started getting this GPUPanic error ever since I updated Mac OS to Mavericks from Snow Leopard and now it keeps crashing very often.
After researching online I found that this macbook did have a manufacturing defect with its logic board
(reffereing to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088)
and took to the genius bar at apple store. They ran few test and told me that it's indeed a logic board which failed. Now they suggesting to replace it with a new logic board which costs $310 + tax
as it's out of warranty period and I agrued that that if it was a manufacturing defect(reffering to ablove link) apple should fix it for free of cost even though its not covered under manufacturing warranty period(3 years) while they do repair some older macbook under https://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/ programme.
Meanwhile does anyone know any workaround this issue while I take on apple support?

tejasmarvel,
Apple’s manufacturer’s warranty lasts for one year, not for three years. Their gratis servicing period for this defect was a one-time exception, lasting for three years. What Apple should do or shouldn’t do is beyond the scope of this forum, although we can certainly hold strong opinions on that topic.
You could run gfxCardStatus to avoid switching to the discrete NVIDIA GPU, which is what triggers the defect.

IMac Facetime won't receive calls after upgrade to Mavericks

Hi all,
I am experiencing a strange issue with Facetime on my 2012 iMac running Mavericks.
Here's the deal:
Upgraded my iMac and MacBook Air to Mavericks
I am able to PLACE calls from all machines (so my account seems to be working fine)
When being called my iMac won't respond...no message, no sound, no nothing...plays dead man
My MacBook Air behaves normally (also Mavericks)
I have tried all of the following:
disabled and re-enabled Facetime (to maybe override some config issue inherited from before the upgrade)
tried to receive calls with and without Facetime running
rebooted...several times
all the latest updates are installed
I have not (knowingly) changed anything after the upgrade. "Don't disturb" is off and Facetime calls are allowed for everyone.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Beschi

Hi all, Problem not solved yet.
Maybe you can give your 2 cents to my working hypothesis:
Could it be that some background process/service is used to continuously monitor incoming requests/calls? Could it be that this process fires up Facetime and forwards incoming calls (Facetime calls are received without Facetime running, right? So something must capture them...)? Could it be that in my case this process is either not running or configured incorrectly (account, password)?
Maybe you can put me on the right track?!
Best regards,
Frustrated Beschi

Finder window in apps won't show files after upgrading to Mavericks

Has anyone encountered a situation where you are working within an application and do a File->Open kind of dialog and when you select a directory the spinner just spins forever and nothing is shown in that directory (when you KNOW there's something there)?
I am having this problem randomly. For instance, I opened Sublime Text 2, went to File->Open, navigated to a directory and nothing showed up. The spinner went round and round as if it was waiting on something. I closed the dialog, tried again, and it worked fine. It's happening regularly, but I can't seem to reproduce it.
Any others experiencing this?

Tonight, Finder just plain wouldn't open any folder after popping up on Apple Mai
Ok, this isn't an issue that some NON-Apple program isn't calling Finder correctly. This was Apple MAIL for God's sake. I went to attach a document, and then FINDER just wouldn't open any sub folder. Not ONE. The little "circle of wait" was spinning, and I let it for 10 minutes! Nothing ever came up.
THANK GOD for Path Finder, a Finder substitute that runs rings around the native functionality. I was able to easily open it, and drag files to Apple Mail and send the files.
What this tells me is, again, NOBODY at Apple is doing beta testing. I am honestly about to just put my Mac up for sale and go back to Windows ( I NEVER thought I'd say that!)

IMac won't boot after upgrade to Maverick

First off, I have a Time Machine backup, so I'm not in really deep hot water yet, but...
Upgraded to Maverick from Lion 10.7.5 and let it run for ever and a day until it rebooted itself. Upon reboot, I got the grey screen with the Apple logo, then the little spinny thing beneath the logo disappeared...and nothing else happened. The iMac gets stuck like that and won't do anything else. I have only the keyboard and mouse connected to it — no external drives, no hubs, nothing else USB or FireWire. I can reboot to the recovery disk (which it now says is the 10.9 version). I have verified permissions, repaired permissions, verified disk (no problems) but repaired disk anyway, tried reinstalling Mavericks (and let it run overnight but got the exact same result) and even booted in single-user mode to run fsck. Nothing so far has worked.
I'm stuck with a grey screen and the pretty Apple logo, but can't get to the login screen or do anything else with it. Suggestions?

I spoke to Apple support and they've given me some suggestions to try when I get home tonight:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer's PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Startup key combinations for Intel-based Macs

Do you have a 15" mid-2010? If so then your problem is surely...
Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pros - the bad NVIDIA GPU
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):
         com.apple.GeForce(6.4.0)@0x82ac4000->0x82b7afff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.6.5)@0x7a802000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
         com.apple.nvidia.nv50hal(6.4.0)@0x83c05000->0x84019fff
            dependency: com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000
         com.apple.NVDAResman(6.4.0)@0x834a0000->0x8378dfff

            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IONDRVSupport(2.2.1)@0x82fd3000
            dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOGraphicsFamily(2.2.1)@0x8301b000
Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,
Clinton

MBP mid 2010 - 15" 2,4Ghz (Battery Problem)

Hi guys.
I have a MBP mid 2010. My battery wont last more that 4.30 hours.
I have tried more than enough times to test' it.
Last Night with fully charged battery I was able to get 4.40 Hours.
Bluetooth OFF
Low monitor brightness
Low keyboard illumination
Air Port was on.
Basically web browsing and 4 or 5 youtube videos.
Did not make any software instalation or updates.
4.30 hours its just to low.
BTW it as 37 full charges
My work laptop wich is a Dell Latitude E6400 with a 9cell battery I get more than 5 hours. And it as way more full charge cycles.

Certainly not... but I'd rather source a complete antiglare clamshell lid and slap it on myself thus upgrading the machine, as long as I know I wouldn't have to replace the logic board as well... I've done plenty of surgery on notebooks, from removing a stuck business-card shaped CD from a 12" PowerBook G4 (requiring *complete* disassembly of the machine) to swapping ThinkPad T61 motherboards into T60 chassis creating a 15" 4:3 IPS FrankenPad which can take 8GB of ram... so I can handle swapping a display.
Local apple store hasn't told me clearly whether or not it's possible, just that they will only replace it with the original screen...
I can only find one logic board part # for a 2.4GHz mid-2010 15" MBP, which suggests to me that upgrading the screen should be no problem, but I'd love to hear from someone who's done it or can give a definitive answer as to whether or not it's possible...

Can I system restore a purchased mbp mid 2010 but keep the upgraded OS?

I purchased a used MBP mid 2010 and had the seller meet me at the apple store. After I verified the computer was not stolen I asked to have it factory wiped, but they said I needed an appointment. Now I've read directions on this forum on how to restore it myself, is it the same technique they use in the store? Can I restore this machine and keep mavericks or must it be restored to the original OS?

fastcash124,
when Mavericks is downloaded from the Mac App Store, it is non-transferable; the seller should have wiped it from the internal drive before selling it to you. Once you’ve done a clean reïnstallation of Snow Leopard and run Software Update to get it to Mac OS X 10.6.8, you can then download and install your own (non-transferable) copy of Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked?

My IMac 21.5 mid 2010's HD is going bad on it, after upgrading to mavericks it slowed way down and after it shut off and now won't come back on, I call apple support and they told me to bring it in but the nearest store is about two hours away. They said I need it to erase my hard drive but I have too many family pics on it.
would Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s worked on it? I could replace the internal and get an enclosure for the original until I get the pics out of it?
Please advise, it's like five years of family pics I don't wanna loose them and I am worried.
Thanks
Al Florez

A Brody,
I really apprecate your very quick respond, Its too late to back up as of now, my hard drive wont load at all so I cannot follow your instruction to back it up. Learn a hard lesson but I will from now on following your link.
Also my hard drive it is not available to do the free exchange program.
I read the OWC instruction on how to replace the drive I was just wondering if the 2TB would work on it instead of the 1 TB they offer, I specifically asked for the Seage Barracuda because I had great experiences with it on PCs.
Again, Thank you

I have a 2010 MBP 6,2 with an aftermarket SSD. My machine gets mail and notifications while asleep, but I do not have any powernap pref box in energy savings under 10.9.1
I do not have an Apple SSD. I have a Crucial M4-CT512M4SSD2
Apple did replace my MB last Fall under the video fault problem (for free after 3 years.....thanks Apple), but it stills identifies as a 6,2 Boot ROM MBP61.0057.B0F
I wish I could shut off this powernap feature, but have no access to it.
