2009 Quad MP freezes after waking from sleep

Hey again.
I've read numerous reports about the sleep/waking problem but mine seems to be different. I even created a new main admin account to see if some of my preferences (I migrated my user accounts from an iMac over to the new MP) and still having the same issues.
If I let the system go to sleep it will on its own but when I wake it up the keyboard and mouse don't do anything. I even unplugged the mouse/keyboard and plugged them back in and still nothing. I have to hold the power button down to shutdown. Upon restarting everything is fine again.
Now if I put the system to sleep manually it will sleep and wake perfectly!! I know I can work around this by not letting it go to sleep on it's own but why would be wake from sleep one way but not the other?
Any help welcome.
PS. I have a OWC 1TB FW800 hooked up, Wacom tablet/pen, keyboard and that is it. I have the hard drives set to 'sleep', and only have istat menu bar running. I've tried it with that off and no programs running and still have the same results.

but after I bought this MP it's been headache after headache. (Sleep issues, monitor issues..)
Are you still under warranty? Can you have the machine replaced? I would try to do that... No reason for bad experiences from a brand new machine. No one deserves that and you may just have gotten a machine by nature that is a bit buggy. Granted the dust is still settling about these Macs and how they play out in the real world. But consistent problems like yours, are worth fixing. Getting the Mac replaced would be ideal.
JM is probably right about the driver, I forgot that too. One removes everything except the kernel of trouble in the first place. It's a shot anyway. There could be more going on.

  • After upgrading to Tiger, freeze after waking from sleep on PM G4

    My experience with Tiger in the past week as not been great. The reason I upgraded was to get iSync 2.1, so that my Moto E815 phone could be sync'd with my OSX AddresBook and iCal. This wasn't possible with the latest version of Panther.
    So, I upgraded to Tiger 10.4.3, and now my G4 freezes immediately after waking from sleep. After pressing the 'return' key to wake the computer, the G4 sends a signal to wake the monitor, but on top of the screen saver is a black text box which states there was a problem I must press (and hold) the power button to restart the Mac. It's written in four languages.
    When I installed Tiger, I used the 'archive' option.
    My computer is a bit of a FrankenMac: Originally a G4/350 with AGP, upgraded with a Sonnet 1GHz G4 processor card, 1.12GB RAM, a 160GB HDD, an nVidia GeForce3 64MB AGP video card, Samsung DVD/CR-RW drive (Patchburn3) and a Belkin PCI card with 2 additional Firewire ports and 3 additional USB 2.0 ports. When I performed the upgrade, I had the keyboard and mouse plugged into the case USB 1.1 ports, a Logitech Notebook Pro USB camera plugged into the other case USB 1.1 port, and a D-Link BT120 USB->BT adapter plugged into one of the three USB 2.0 ports on the Belkin PCI card.
    When I check the Console logs after the rebooting, I see a kernal panic in the panic.log. Apple has received this a number of times from me in the past week as I keep sending them 'talkback' logs after the fact.
    I also see an error in the system.log which may reveal what is going on:

    I suspect the problem where the USB devices are started, because I had that Bluetooth adapter plugged in at the time of the upgrade. I'm speaking of the lines in the log which start with 'USBF'. The keyboard and mouse are useless when the black screen shows up after waking from sleep.
    I've tried some of the suggestions I've found for the iBook 'wake from sleep' postings on macfixit.com and here - resetting NVRAM and removing a few of the .plist files. This didn't seem to help.
    I would greatly appreciate help in resolving this issue. I've been a Mac owner since the original Macintosh (it's still in my house) and am frustrated that this is the first problem I've encountered.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks. In fact I had bought a new keyboard and mouse (Macally) and sure enough, if I unplug it before it reboots, the CD drive door stays closed and I can boot from a CD! I did not try any of the other stuff. Is there any way to get it to stop this? Why does a USB peripheral cause the CD to eject anyway? Would love to know!

  • Freeze after waking from sleep mode on MBP retina

    After waking from sleep mode my MBP retina freezes for 3-5 seconds. Mouse and touchpad don't work. I wonder if it's mountain lion problem or hardware problem. Anyone faced this?

    Just got a brand new model and OS X 10.8.2 (12C3012) and face the same issue, almost everytime it sleeps for too long. This is not a 3rd type SDD, this is a standard Apple SSD. I turned off the BT, I removed the almost every option from the battery saver mode. The current test is to disable the power nap - I will let you all know the result in a few hours.

  • Freeze after waking from sleep

    hi, it's been happening only in the past 3 days.
    my mac pro is less than a month old.
    3 gig ram, dual 2.66mhz processor, 120G hd with more of a third free disk space.
    this's what happens: if the computer is in sleep mode, and if after few hours i wake it back up, it freezes.
    for the first 10 seconds, the computer apparently works fine, but after that the curson stops responding, as well as all apps.
    i can't quit applications, or esc...
    all i can do is to powerboot it again.
    i've run disk utility and verified disk and repaired permissions.
    as it is now all is in check.
    can you please let me know what i can do?
    on my other systems i used to run Cocktail, but i haven't installed it or run on this intel machine yet, not to screw things up.
    can anyone tell me what i should do for this freeze issue, and what's the best system management utility for intel machines?
    thanks in advance
    milly

    Cocktail is not a system management utility, but rather a troubleshooting only utility. Freezes can happen waking from sleep often if there is a third party USB device connected or a PCI adapter to USB that is not familiar with Apple's Energy Saver low power mode. Before proceeding with this experiment, it is important to backup your data*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    Dismount (if a volume), and disconnect all third party USB devices and see if it freezes. If it does, make sure the hard disk is less than 85% full (an arbitrary number most have found to be safe for Mac OS X) using my http://www.macmaps.com/diskfull.html FAQ as a guide. And if it still freezes waking from sleep, repair the directory:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    Cocktail, and other cache cleaning utilities should be avoided unless an obvious cache problem exists. You can use Cocktail also to delete files no other programs will delete, but only after backing up your data, to ensure you don't delete the wrong file.

  • Wifi/System Preferences Freezes After Waking From Sleep Mode.

    Every since I installed Mountain Lion, I've had the issue of my MacBook Pro freezing up while it checks for Wifi after waking up from sleep mode. I have to constantly restart my computer. I'm wondering if Apple is aware of this happening on other computers and not just mine.
    Also, my laptop is considerably slower since installing the OS update, especially when I turn on my computer.
    - Rog

    !!!!!!!!!!!So far only this has worked for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> and UNcheck the box that says "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible on BOTH the Battery and Power Adaptor tabs.
    I had this issue when I first installed Mountion Lion on my Aluminum MB 2008. Thought it was 10.8 so I down graded to 10.7 Lion, issue still happened. But after I applied this setting the issue seemed to go away. Before this I also deleted the old wifi settings in Network Utilities and added the Wifi device, ssid, and wep key again (not using WPA2). I will continue testing through the night and will update once I can determine the issue is gone.
    Hopefully this works for others too.

  • Programs freeze after waking from sleep mode

    For some reason if I put my MBP into sleep mode (10.6.3), any programs I try to start up will freeze (I would to force quit since nothing opens). Any programs that were open prior to going into sleep mode working fine, unless quit it and then try to restart the program same problem (so if firefox open before sleep placed my laptop in sleep mode then I wake the laptop, firefox works fine. Now if I were to quit firefox after my laptop was turned on from sleep mode then I quit firefox and try to reopen it, then firefox icon just bounces up and down and nothing happens and it freeze and I have to force quit). The only way is for me restart the laptop, but even then its a temp fix.

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions.

  • Macbook freezing after waking from sleep

    My 4 GB RAM macbook freezes for 30 seconds after I wake it from sleep mode. Sometimes it is unresponsive and sometimes the beachball comes up. I have 200 gigs of free space and no login items. The bluetooth wake is also turned off. What is the problem?

    I have noticed similar behaviour.  I think it depends on the network activity being carried out when I closed the lid, and maybe it has to wait for something to time out. I don't really know, I'm just guessing.
    I have noticed that when it happens, I have to close the lid and watch the light on the front. This will be solidly lit. When it starts "breathing" I can open my MacBook again and it will work ok.

  • Why does my computer keep freezing after waking from "sleeping"?

    I'm running Lion (10.7.2) and frequently, not everytime, but often, the computer will freeze about 1-2 min after I've woken it from sleep – there are usually 1-2 applications open and then I can work for about a couple minutes and then it freezes and the only way to resolve it is to power it off w/ the power button and then restart.
    I've got a late 2008 15" MacBook Pro, 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM – there is very little on the hard drive, but that seems irrelevant here anyway.
    Thanks for any tips/help!

    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

  • My iMAC often freezes after waking from sleep, or occasionally freezes at random. How do I stop this?

    I have 10.6.8 on my iMAC. I have been shutting down my iMAC partly because I often get freezes a few seconds after the mac wakes. The freezes also occur at random. There is seldom any way to shut down the MAC except by pulling the power cord, though very rarely I am able to finally achieve a normal shutdown. I have tried fixing permissions as well starting in Safe Mode, and while these seemed to help at first, they no longer seem to have any affect.
    I thought that maybe I got some kind of virus/trojan/etc., but from what I have read here that very likely is not the case.
    I have also read here that the issue could be  "hardware."  Does this mean things like my printer or external speaker, or external hardrive? or does it mean the hardware of the computer itself? I have read about a "Hardware Test." Does this "Apple Hardware Test" have a benefit here in figuring out the problem?
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I certainly can't keep 'pulling the plug,' and I know now from these discussions that shutting down (vs. sleep) on a regular basis is not best either for the imac. (I am loathe to upgrade to LION until I get this problem resolved, though, interestingly, I seem to see that a number of LION folks have the same or similar problem.)

    FussGus,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    What periherals, especially USB ones, do you have attached to your Mac? Does the problem persist with everything other than the Apple keyboard and mouse disconnected?
    Does the problem persist if you Start Up in Safe Mode? If so, check what items are in /Library/StartupItems and /Library/PreferencePanes.
    As generic advice for sleep-related issues:
    For a Mac OS X with sleep problems (file names and locations are for 10.4.x):
    -- trash /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    -- trash /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    -- reboot while resetting PRAM (restaqrt while holding down command-option-p-r until you hear three sets of chimes, then release the keys)
    While not directly related, since your wakes before freezing, also refer to Computer Will Not Wake From Sleep

  • System Freeze after Waking from Sleep

    Hi,
    I have seen a few other posts out there with similar issues however mine is a little different. I have been noticing a few oddities since updating to Mac OS X.5, and finally X.5.1. The first challenge I noticed was that my machine does not go to sleep all of the time now, and it might be because I have a HD plugged in at night for Time Machine, but I am not sure because I seem to remember it doing this before.
    Secondly I have noticed that when it would fall asleep, and then I would wake it up it would take some time before I gained control of the track pad and the keyboard. I chalked it up to the OS doing what it needed to do to get the machine ready. The times seemed to vary and it didn't happen all of the time.
    However this last time I opened the machine and it gave me the desktop, and an iCal alert but the Finder was the fore most application. I waited but never gained control of the input devices and was forced to restart the machine.
    I was wondering if anyone else had seen this or has any ideas of what might help.
    Thanks
    Patrick

    A PMU reset might help.
    Sounds like you should try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk also.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

  • "Photoshop transparent background" after waking from sleep

    Anyone experienced this problem? Photoshop users will be familiar with the terms I'm using to describe this issue...
    After waking from sleep, my iMac will display the screen saver -- in this case, "Beach" -- in a frozen state (not moving at all). The photo has a lower opacity, with a checkered background similar to what you'd see in Photoshop when the background is Transparent rather than opague. Clicking on the mouse or keyboard has no effect, but when I turn the power off and then on again, all is back to normal, with the Leopard desktop and Dock back in their normal places.
    Is this the system freeze that folks have been talking about?

    Ok I am not that fmrealer with Photoshop. But this is what I would do.
    1. Resart my computer.
    2. Call apple or Photoshop.
    3. Re install Photoshop.
    4. It is not the end of the world and it sounds kind of cool.

  • Freezing when waking from sleep with latest Lion release?

    I have had both my IMac and MacBook Pro freeze upon waking from sleep recently. Occurred only after installing latest Lion upgrade. Very frustrating since requires hard reboot ronin case of the MacBook Pro, reinstalling the OS. I have noticed similar complaints by others. Any suggestions for a fix other than waiting for a new release?

    Launch the Terminal 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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    pmset -g
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered – the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • Anyone's MacPro have problems after waking from sleep mode?

    After waking from sleep, my MacPro 2x2.4 Quadcore Intel Xeon freezes in several applications that had been running before sleeping. Mail and Firefox both get into endless loops trying to download data and will not force quit. Pulldown restart and shut down do not function when this is occurring. Must shuyt down manually from box and start again. Everything works fine again until it goes to sleep again.

    Start by swapping the keyboard. You don't need to spend a fortune, and handy to have spare. USB cables can be bad even new.
    When I had some problems Apple wanted to blame the mouse, keyboard, cable, but in the end I found
    A. run Disk Warrior
    B. Corrupt pref or conflict with version of Hardware Monitor and other background tasks

  • Trackpad unresponsive after waking from sleep with new 17" MacBookPro

    We have two 17" MacBookPros and both have this symptom. After waking from sleep or booting, the trackpad is unresponsive. Eventually full control comes back to the trackpad but it takes a while.
    Both computers are up to date with all software.
    Any thoughts?
    Really irritating.

    Perhaps they are freezing for awhile? Maybe basic repairs are in order.

  • Keyboard volume keys don't work after waking from sleep

    This problem has existed for many months on my 2009 Mac Pro. I'm running 10.6.3. The problem is reproducible 100% of the time. I use external speakers. Sound output is set to "Line Out."
    1. Boot machine. External speakers work fine. Volume keys on keyboard (F11, F12) work correctly.
    2. Put machine to sleep.
    3. After waking from sleep, F11 and F12 no longer control the volume of the external speakers. The "pop" noise when hitting F11 and F12 is emitted from the internal speaker. The mute key (F10) does work for the external speakers, however.
    4. The keyboard volume controls become responsive again by switching the sound output from Line Out to another output option and then back to Line Out.
    This bug is a huge hassle. Does anyone have a solution?

    I have several mid-2009 8-core Mac Pro's, all running Snow Leopard, and all have been having this problem as well.
    I will not guarantee this is going to work for anyone else....but we have found a (slightly inelegant) workaround for it that has been working for several weeks now without fail.
    Prior to putting your MacPro to sleep, run the volume all the way up and leave it there. Afterwards, put it to sleep as usual. We use the keyboard to do this, but I would imagine any method should have the same affect. However, I've not experimented.
    Anyway...this has worked 100% of the time for us. The only downside of it is that you have to remember to run it up before....and then back down after waking (else that first alert sound or music file you play will really wake YOU up!)
    If this works for anyone else, let me know.
    Apple should never have let this one out the door with this bug. Especially, as Apple Support is....wanting, at best.
