Firefox 15 UI does not update after wake from sleep

On my Netbook running Windows XP 32-bit, if I leave Firefox open when I put the computer to sleep (by closing its lid), then when I wake it up from sleep, the user interface elements (like the tab bar) won't respond to mouse clicks. This does not happen 100% of the time; in particular it won't happen for a freshly restarted Firefox that is put to sleep, making the problem rather annoying to reproduce. As far as I can tell, I might have to visit some set of websites with Javascript or Flash or something.
Here are some more details about the user interface, because it is not as simple as non-responsiveness. When I wake it up, when I click on a tab to switch to it, the Windows title bar actually changes to display that tab's page title, but nothing else in the UI updates including the URL bar and the actual page displayed. Similarly for closing a tab; the tab remains, but the title bar shows the title of the tab that would receive focus next. After I "pseudo" close a tab and then restart Firefox, it does not remember that I closed the tab (I save sessions) and restarts with the same set of tabs before I tried to close one.
I get the problem even after disabling all extensions and resetting all toolbars to defaults. I have not tried to create a new profile because I have a lot invested in my current profile.

I am going to respond to my self and say I am nuts.
Canon does not seem to have any uninstaller for this scanner on their site:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=DownloadDet ailTabAct&fcategoryid=351&modelid=17104
Which is rather odd since they have installers. this is different from most of their other older scanners. But if you just plugged in our scanner and things worked in OSX, which it should have, then you should be OK.
However I can confirm that others see this issue (like my dad) and here is the official Canon response to the issue:
+Dear XXXX:+
+In some cases, coming out of sleep mode may not properly reinitialize+
+the USB bus on Macintosh Operating Systems. Unfortunately, the only+

Of course this in not exactly true as logging out and back in fixes it.

Canon LiDE 100 does not respond after wake from sleep

I have a Canon LiDE 100 flatbed scanner. I constantly put my iMac to sleep and only ever shut it down once every few weeks.
When the computer wakes from sleep the scanner does not respond. Image Capture lists the scanner in the device list but reports the following error;
"An error occurred whilst communicating with the scanner"
I have to unplug the USB cable and plug it back in for it to work (or restart the computer, both always work).
Since I only moved to the Macintosh in July I have no idea how to uninstall drivers to give myself a fresh start and the scanner does not come with an uninstall utility.
Any suggestions on how to fix this little problem?
Thanks.

WiFi not found after wake from sleep

I have my home wireless network set NOT to broadcast. This should pose no problem once I save it as a trusted wireless network. When I start up my computer and log in, it connects to my home network automatically without any trouble. However, when I wake from sleep it frequently says, none of your trusted wireless networks could be found and I either have to connect manually (by entering the SSID and password) or cycle my airport power off and on 2 or 3 times until it realizes the network is in fact there. The signal strength is very strong (I'm only about 10' away from my router), so that's not the issue. I've seen other macs have the same issue. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution. It seems like it is giving up on its search of trusted networks before the airport has fully powered on or something. Maybe there's a setting to tell it to rescan a few times before giving up? It's very frustrating.

I finally had the problem once while trying to connect manually. It kept saying connection time out before finally connecting. How does one increase the connection timeout time?

USB devices not working after wake from sleep on WinXP!!! HELP PLEASE!

I would like to put my windows xp to sleep whenever I leave the macbook pro for fear of overheating too much when I'm not using it.
The only problem is that I can't use any more USB devices if I plug them in once I wake it from sleep.
Like my mouse for example, I'm using a laser mouse with a usb plugin but it doesn't respond once I try to use it after WinXP on wake....
Experiencing a ton of wake problems lately...
Sleep is important for a MBP....I hope...

Welcome to Windows. Some devices do not like to be put to sleep in Windows.
There could be driver updates or hot fixes from MS to fix these.
A very proven method (though not for battery life) is to instruct the devices not to go to sleep when the system goes to sleep. You can do this via the device manager in the control panel.
Its not a gracious solution but it will do what you want it to do.

Mouse Not Antialiased After Wake from Sleep? (on external display)

I've been noticing something very strange lately: after waking the MacBook Pro from sleep, the mouse on the screen is no longer antialiased and is instead quite rough looking — it also has no shadow. I've only noticed this when using an external display. If I'm using the MacBook's built-in screen instead this doesn't happen. Not really a huge problem but I was wondering if anybody else had this issue and if there's a fix. Thanks.

I'm sorry, what? Forgive me if I say that your reply doesn't make any sense. This issue almost certainly has nothing to do with the hard drive failing (or being too stressed), nor is it a lack of RAM. In fact, given that it's only with the external display (Apple LED display), it really almost certainly has nothing to do with the hardware it all. Without a doubt, it would appear, it is a software bug of some kind. For example, if I log out and log back in again, it's fine. So, a minor annoyance, but I'm curious if anyone knows about it/knows of a fix.
For the record, I haven't "bell/whistle"d the Finder at all. I don't see how that's relevant in any way, anyway.
I personally speculate this is some sort of bug with Mac OS X; I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar issue.

Firefox Sync does not update automatically when I add a new bookmark.

I use one desktop and one notebook at the same time. Firefox Sync does not update bookmarks between my desktop and notebook when I add a new bookmark from one device or the other. Firefox Sync only updates when I manually sync my data from each device. When I used Google Chrome, the Sync feature updated my bookmarks almost instantly. Is there any way I can make Firefox automatically sync whenever I update my bookmark?

Your imported bookmarks from IE should all be in one folder named "From Internet Explorer". The imported Bookmarks are kept separate for easier identification by the user. You can move them to other folders outside of that folder if you wish; you can also delete any duplicates that you may have placed into Firefox Bookmarks/folders before the import.

Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS5 to iOS6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

I attempted to ask this question, yesterday. However, I am not used to typing with my thumbs, yet, and messed it up some. So, I will give this another try. Auto brightness does not work after upgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 6 on my iPod touch. Is this intended by Apple, or is it a bug?

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
iOS 6 changed how that feature works.

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.

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.

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.

10.5.2 Update - Second monitor "blinks" after wake from sleep

Posting in the off chance that others have seen this behavior. This seems to be Leopard related, and did not start happening until after I installed the 10.5.2 update.
After waking from sleep my second monitor will blink on and off for anywhere from 2 seconds to about 30 seconds at which time it functions properly. It does not do this on initial startup OR when booting from my tiger volume (backed up with superDuper before a clean install of Leopard). Unplugging the display and plugging it back in also stops the "blinking"; turning the monitor off and then on has no effect.
My machine is a early (2007) model 2x2.66 dual-core with 3GB of (Apple) RAM and a GeForce 7300 GT. All firmware updates have been applied and software update reports no updates available.
The displays are both Sceptre X9G-NagaV 19" flat-panels connected via DVI, though I see the same behavior when using my 20" apple cinema display as second head. (I know these are cheap monitors. Please refrain from telling me that the displays are at fault - it 's not a problem with the display, as this doesn't happen under Tiger. The monitors have performed admirably for over two years)

Have you tried unplugging the second monitor, rebooting and letting it run without it for a little while, and then plugging it back in to see if it clears some persistent loading problem? My monitor has always gone out on me kinda randomly, but I think it's my GPU in my PMG5 that's losing power and resetting or something so it wouldnt be the same issue (I've gone through two so far with the same results).
Alternatively, try changing some of the display settings, such as resolution, color, and such to see if the change corrects how it's loading the display.

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.
