Cant login after wake from sleep

In the last month I've noticed that sometimes when I wake my mac book pro (from a deep sleep?), I cant login. I enter my password and press enter and the textbox disables as if it is about to login but then nothing happens. It doesn't complete logging in. I cant press escape, I cant type in the password text box anymore, I cant click the button next to textbox. Nothing. I have to do a hard power off. I've cleared NVRAM. Which, consequently, when I do that, the mac book usually hangs at half of the progress bar on the black screen with the apple logo. I can only get the system back up by booting into safe mode and then restarting.
Anyone have any idea how to trouble shoot or fix the login issue?
Mikey

Sorry to resurrect an old-ish thread but I'm having the EXACT same issue with my MacBook Pro.  I have all the latest OS updates applied..10.6.8 or whatever version is the latest as of 6/27/11.  I have taken it into the Apple store three times now...they've fixed permissions and run all the diagnostics and everything checks out 100%.  I have even done a complete wipe and reinstall of OSX, but it still locks up sometimes when clicking a user on the login screen.
Have you been able to resolve the issue on your system?

  • After installing Yosemite, cannot login after wake from sleep mode

    After upgrading to Yosemite this morning, I've had the problem that after the computer goes into sleep mode, I cannot log back in to use the computer because I can't enter my user password.  The screen looks fine after I press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse (I see the users and where I would type my password), but mouse clicks do not allow me to activate the password box (however, I do see the mouse pointer and can move it), and any buttons pressed on the keyboard have no effect.  If I shut the computer down, I can login without problem.  Any thoughts on how to resolve this?  I'd hate to have to turn the computer off every time I step away for 10 minutes...

  • BUG: Sandisk USB flash drive in "half-mounted" state after wake from sleep

    My Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB Flash Drive is left in a half-mounted state after wake from sleep. The Finder believes the drive is still mounted, the icon is on the Desktop. However opening a file on the drive, or trying to eject the drive, results in a long beach ball, followed by a message that I removed the drive without Ejecting it first. The same drive continues to work fine on my Tiger machine, and on PCs.
    Bug Report:
    Setup:
    Macbook 1st Gen (2.0 Ghz)
    Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 Clean Install
    Sandisk Cruzer Crossfire 4GB USB Flash Drive (in either port)
    Repro:
    Plug in the drive.
    Close the MacBook to put it to sleep
    Reopen the MacBook
    Result:
    The lights on the flash drive never light back up after wake from sleep. Navigating the drive, or trying to eject it results in a "you removed the device without ejecting it first" message.
    Expected:
    Drive should still be mounted and accessible after waking back up.

    It may be a design flaw in the device. Mac OS X does a lot more power management than most other OSes, including tearing devices down to little or no power during sleep. It is possible that the device simply misbehaves due to corrupted memory state or reports a substantially different GUID or something similarly bizarre upon wake. (Okay, that last one wouldn't technically be a power management issue....)
    If it doesn't have any problems except when sleeping the system, I would just make sure I unmounted it before putting the machine to sleep and wouldn't worry about it. Maybe check with Sandisk to see if they have a firmware updater for the device.

  • Left USB-Port dead after wake from sleep. Just restart helps.

    I hoped Apples keyboard-Update today would solve my biggest hate-bug in this buggy POS called Leopard. It didn't.
    As usual on my Leopard-Macbook Pro, no device will work on the left USB-Port after I waked the computer from sleep. Just a restart helps. I hoped this update to solve this, because it replaced among others "IOUSBFamily.kext".
    Terminal gives a timeout error for the internal USB-Hub after wake from sleep. I assumed this should be related.
    I'm really angry now.
    When will Apple solve the most urgent problems in Leopard?
    Was 10.5.1 just smoke and mirrors to make (fool people into...) people upgrade who intended to wait until the first maintenance-update?
    Was Leopard Apples attempt to make Windows-Users more comfortable by putting in some heavy extra-bugs and blue screens?
    FIX IT FINALLY! And f... don't wait for Macworld to release 10.5.2. It's desperately needed and the current state of Leopard will leave some people very sad at christmas after getting their first Mac. First impression counts and many more peoples first contact with the Mac will be at christmas...

    Apple knows the problem and for some reason they are stumped on fixing it. this is so bad I can't believe it. On my macbook pro with Leopard installed, USB left port is dead after sleep. Only restarting can power it back up. I have to restart every day to use my external hard drive for time machine or when putting my flash drive in the port.
    Come on already Apple. This is a SERIOUS, SERIOUS problem.
    Fix it.

  • Abnormal Start-up Screen Appearing after wake from Sleep Restart

    I have started to have this problem with my MacbookPro where I will come back and wake try and wake from sleep and nothing. The computer is off or unresponsive. Upon restart I get an abnormal start up screen which looks like this image that I snagged with my camera:
    http://www.creativetantrum.com/screen.jpg
    In all my years of using a Mac I have never seen anything like this. And the MBP never gets pass the screen I have to hard restart and it launches into this screen:
    http://www.creativetantrum.com/startup.jpg
    and runs through to the login screen.
    Previously I have tried resetting the PRAM and SMC(?) as well as running Cocktail on the machine. Those sequences seemed to resolve the issue for at least a day. The only thing I have done that I can think may have caused this is I play a game called "Ouba" that runs in 640 x 480 or some low resolution that the MBP seems to resemble upon restart.
    Also upon restart I am given an opportunity to send Apple a message regarding the crash. Here is what it sends:

    Thanks.

    the settings are done via Terminal commands or through a widget (i know there is "deepsleep" and i think another)
    you should be able to find the terminal command through reading about the different sleep modes, if not try goggling "changing sleep mode on mac" and that should show you. if you cant find it let me know and ill try to dig it back up.
    the MBPs are standard with safe sleep, the older lap tops used quick sleep. there is not way to change them through the standard system in a GUI, it has to be done via code (very easy because you can just copy and paste it in)

  • Bluetooth devices lagging after wake from sleep sometimes.

    I have the Apple bluetooth keyboard, magic mouse, and magic trackpad. All batteries are charged and I have tried others by the way. This issue only happens sometimes, as it has happened before, but stopped for a few months, and now happened again tonight. What is happening is that my laptop (macbook late 2009 with  mac os x 10.7.2) wakes from sleep (all default energy saver settings set and I am able to wake the macbook with any of the bluetooth devices), and my bluetooth devices mentioned above are laggy for about 15-45 seconds. What i mean by laggy is that when moving the mouse across the desk after the login screen is already fully loaded, it jumps and is clearly not tracking like it usually does. The bluetooth trackpad and keyboard experience this same issue.
    Now the thing that leads me to believe it's bluetooth or software is that my macbook's built in keyboard and trackpad do not lag and function correctly as soon as the computer is woken from sleep and prompts me with my login screen. This also leads me to assume that it's not my computer running slowly or having too many processes or not enough memory. This problem happens even if I have no programs running (other than OS X's default processes). I have taken my macbook into the Apple genius bar thinking it was a bluetooth hardware issue, but they ran checks and confirmed that it was not and obciously, we could not get the issue to reproduce their at that time. I would love to hear from anyone who has experiecned this before, or is currently. We need to get Apple's attention with this issue because they have not listened to me when I submit a feekback form. This has been happening since 10.7.0 by the way. Thanks and happy holidays.

    -I can wake my macbook with my bluetooth devices
    -My built in macbook keyboard and trackpad do not experience this issue
    -I don't see the "connected symbol" when the computer wake (everything is already connected)
    -All default energy saver preferences set
    -Using apple's rechargeable batteries for all three devices
    -minimal processes running
    -devices function as normal after 15-45 seconds (it's not my desk)

    I've got what sounds like the same problem with my new unibody MacBook Pro.
    I've had the problem with both 10.6.1 and 10.6.2.
    I also find that a reboot fixes things. In my case, I can sleep/wake multiple times with
    no problem, but once the BT goes unresponsive upon wake, every subsequent sleep/wake
    will suffer the problem until I next reboot.
    I also discovered that in my case I can re-pair the non-responsive devices (two flavors
    of Logitech mice and an Apple wireless keyboard) while in sick-BT mode and they will
    work until I next sleep/wake, whereupon they will again fail to connect and my
    choice is either to re-pair yet again, or reboot and have the problem go away, at least
    for awhile.
    I'm trying to correlate my activity with my BT going out to lunch, but have yet to narrow
    it down definitively. I have one or two data points that make me suspect it goes south
    after I use VMware Fusion (Version 2), but I cannot yet rule that one completely in or out.

  • Bluetooth Unresponsive After Wake from Sleep

    I have an issue where when my macbook pro wakes from sleep, the bluetooth mouse will not connect, and BT becomes unresponsive. Sometimes I can turn bluetooth off then back on and be OK, BUT 95% of the time, I have to restart the computer to get bluetooth back.
    After waking, the BT appears to be on, I get the popup on the screen which tells me "connection lost" with a picture of a mouse. I can open BT preferences and turn BT off, but nothing happens. I can even recheck "on" but it is completely unresponsive.
    Things tried:
    Allow BT to wake this computer is UNCHECKED
    in activity monitor I have forced quit BLUED, but BT does not come back.
    I have trashed the BT preference file Mac HD/library/preferences/com.apple.bluetooth.plist
    I have reset SMC and PRAM
    Tried a Logitech V470 and mighty mouse
    Fresh install of 10.6.0, then upgraded to 10.6.1, then 10.6.2 (using combo)
    Tried disabling steermouse, fresh batteries, holding my mouth right...
    When the BT is not responding, the BT name either changes to 2.2.4f3 (which is the Apple BT software version), or it says "name not available".
    Also in system profiler, when BT is not responding the BT "Hardware settings" section is missing. It starts with "services".
    This is driving me crazy. Could this be hardware related? I feel it is more software, since on restart, the BT mice pair perfectly and work great. The never randomly disconnect.
    This issue only happens when the computer resumes/wakes from sleep.
    Everyone please provide feedback. I am the only one with this issue? I have scoured the net, and find very little regarding this exact issue. I am within my 90 days from buying, should I call Applecare or is it a waste of my time?
    Thanks for your help,

  • Mail unresponsive after wake from sleep.

    When my Retina Macbook Pro wakes from sleep, when i go to mail, it will often become unresponsive for a period of a few minutes - if i go and use safari/ other apps, it will normally resume normal use in its own time, alternatively, i must force quit and reopen to gain use of mail again.
    I cant think of any configuration changes which caused this problem to begin, not after any particular software update of anything, am running the most up-to-date version of Mountain Lion - is anyone else seeing this problem and have a solution?

    my problem on mail, is that sometimes when i quit it (cmd + Q) it will not quit. although the mail window is gone, but the app is still running in background. and i have to force close it only i can re-open it. and if i didn't force close it, i can't turn off my mac. using MBPr as well in Mountain Lion. really hoping for a solution to this problem.

  • Password not required immediately after wake from sleep

    Every once in a while when my retina macbook pro wakes from sleep I do no need to enter my password immediately.  Instead it just starts with no password required and then 5-10 seconds later it takes me to the lock screen and asks for my password.  Other times it will ask for my password, start up after its entered and then 5-10 seconds later it takes me back to the lock screen and asks for my password again.  Usually when it "takes me back to the login screen" it actually just makes the screen black until I press a key or move the mouse and then it "wakes up" again and shows the login screen.
    Also is it common for it to hang for a while before allowing me to type my password after waking from sleep?  Frequently it will take 10+ seconds before I can start typing in the password field or the clock updates etc.  Its a 2.3ghz core i7 with 16GB of ram.
    I have installed all updates and it should be noted that I do have the "require password immediately after sleep or screen saver begins" option enabled in system preferences.

    Hi Kevin,
    You mention that you moved the TC's network up in priority, so you may have already done these things as well. Apologies in advance if that is the case.
    If you normally use your MBP with wireless, make sure that the AirPort connection is that top of the connections list in System Preferences > Network. Click on small gear icon at the bottom of list to put the Airport connection first in line to connect so the MBP will not look for an ethernet connection first.
    Click on the Airport connection to highlight it and then click Advanced. If you have other wireless networks that you can delete, use the - (minus) button to do so. Ideally, you'll only have a few networks displayed. Confirm that your wireless network name is first at the top of this network list.
    Make sure there is a check mark next to Remember Networks Joined. Leave the next two check boxes blank.
    Any help? My MBP connects consistently and quickly with these settings when the cover is opened.

  • Crashes after wake from Sleep after 10.8.1 update

    2.5 Ghz Mac Mini (mid 2011), 8 Gigs of RAM
    Since the day I upgraded to 10.8.1 I have had persistent crashes, 1 every 24 hours or so. It's always shortly after a wake from sleep. In all cases, it is impossible to switch to a random open application. But once I hit that application, no other application will respond to anything, including a Force Quit, or if it will force quit, it won't relaunch. A shut down will hang because an app refuses to quit. I can quit the Finder, but it won't relaunch. Have reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, zapped the PRAM, reset the SMC, checked and extensively tested the HD and RAM. Replaced RAM with original Apple RAM. Didn't help, so I swapped back to the RAM from Crucial. I can't think of anything else to try. Machine does not crash unless it has been asleep. Runs flawlessly when sleep is disabled. After a reboot (usually via a shut down via the power switch, start from scratch, check of the HD integrity, and then a clean restart) the machine will run fine, sleep and wake normally for about 24 hours. As near as I can tell from the logs, the hangs usually begin right after the Time Machine Backup after a wake from sleep finishes. If I don't allow the machine to sleep, there are no problems of any kind. Making me crazy. Did not occur under Lion or the .0 version of Mountain Lion. Is making me crazier than I normally am which is sorta serious.

    Any solutions to this problem?  I too have this kernel panic, however it only happens about once a week.  Always upon wake from sleep as you've indicated. 
    FYI I don't have intego software, or an APC installed.  Nor am I using filevault.
    This is on an up to date, MacBook Pro Retina.

  • Cannot login after awaking from sleep (login screensaver sleep problem)

    After awaking from sleep or returning from the screensaver, the "loginwindow" of system.login.screensaver (visible after checking "details") does not recoginze the correct password. It is not possible to login this way anymore.
    Very annoying!
    Fortunately, I found a workaround using the functionality to switch users. The standard OS X welcome screen recognizes my password.
    Anyone experiencing the same or with a way to correct the initial problem?
    PS: the user account in question is a "network user"; it works as expected for a local user

    More info:
    It seems to be the screen going to sleep, not the computer. When I come back and touch the mouse or the keyboard, as the screen lights up, there is a flash of the web pages I left up, then they vanish.
    Yikes!!!

  • After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

    After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep.  I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable.  I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2.  This issue is specific to waking from sleep.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

    It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
    I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable. 
    This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem. 

  • Yosemite frozen for a few seconds after wake from sleep

    So I open up the lid of my late 2012 Macbook Pro Retina and I instantly see whatever it was I was seeing before closing it, but I can't do anything for anywhere between 3 and 10 seconds... The problem exists whether my Macbook goes to hibernation or not (my sleep delay is set to a loooooong interval). I've already tried PRAM and SMC reset, tried a fresh install of Yosemite from recovery, etc. Nothing seems to change this behaviour. Maybe this problem is just too high profile and I'm whining about non-issues here, but this hasn't ever happened before, on any other Mac OS version I've ever had. And quite frankly, that sweet instant wake-from-sleep is something I was always proud of as a mac user. ;-) Now my mac is starting to behave like every Windoze version... ever! What gives?!
    (PS: I have a Transcend JetDrive 720 480GB upgrade built in but the problem existed before the upgrade. And I'm running Yosemite 10.10.3 but that upgrade also had no impact on the issue.)

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • 10.9.4 update causing internet browsing errors after wake from sleep

    Macbook Pro Late 2011, OS X 10.9.4
    So before the 10.9.4 update, I had no problems with Wifi and wake from sleep.
    Now, after the update, random web pages either don't load (Chrome & Firefox) or return a "Memory Not Allocated" error (Safari). Also, my Work VPN application stops being able to connect.  The related Console error is:
    acvpnagent[104]: Function: getInterfaces File: ../../vpn/Common/Utility/NetInterface_unix.cpp Line: 1277 missing PPP destination address for interface "utun0"
    The only solution I've found is restarting.
    Any ideas?

    Remove the Cisco VPN client. Use the built-in client, if possible.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and (unless otherwise specified in this comment) I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.
