Freeze when connecting to wifi after waking from sleep

This problem was isolated to my Powerbook when I wanted to connect to a public hotspot (it started with the latest updates). Now, however, after updating my iMac G5 with all the latest updates, it's happening to it at home on my own wireless network.
When I wake my computer, it freezes when trying to reconnect to the wireless network. The only way to get access is to hold the power button down long enough for it to shut down and then upon restart I have a workable computer that can connect to the internet fine.
I've repaired permissions and repaired my disk from the install CD. I've waited up to fifteen minutes to see if the freeze would terminate with some process timing out, but no luck.
The beachball appears when I rollover the airport status in the menu bar (and the volume and clock) but doesn't appear when I rollover other items in the menu bar (quicksilver and norton). However, if I click on anything everything freezes and the beachball "just won't quit."
Anyone have a clue what's going on? All help is very much appreciated.
thanks,
bryan

Hi bryan. Welcome to the Discussions.
1. You wrote: "When I wake my computer, it freezes when trying to reconnect to the wireless network. "
1.1. How do you know that the problem is specifically related to trying to reconnect to your home WiFi network, as opposed to some other potential cause of a wake-from-sleep freeze?
1.2. Are you using an AirPort base station or third-party base station? If third-party, what specific make and model?2. You wrote: "I've repaired permissions and repaired my disk from the install CD."DId Repair Disk find any errors, even those it may have corrected? If so, did you write them down?
3. You wrote: "The beachball appears when I rollover the airport status in the menu bar (and the volume and clock) but doesn't appear when I rollover other items in the menu bar (quicksilver and norton). However, if I click on anything everything freezes and the beachball "just won't quit.""Could be one of the other menu extras you have installed, i.e. the icons on the right side of the menu bar other than the Spotlight icon. Often menu extras are launched as Startup or Login items. My "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ can help you pin that down if such an item is causing the problem. Note that your AirPort connection won't work in Safe Mode, but it gives you a way of testing if the wake-from-sleep or menu extra freeze is related to a menu extra, especially a third-party menu extra launched as a Startup or Login item.
4. See if your computer's serial number is in the range specified in the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" document.
5. As far as general iMac G5 troubleshooting goes:5.1. Rule out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer. For additional details, see my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
5.2. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
5.3. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
5.4. See also the iMac Service & Support site.
5.5. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
5.6. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. While you've done some of these steps already, it won't hurt to double-check this.
5.7. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.Good luck!

  • Retina MBP 15 slow to connect to wifi after waking?

    My new 2012 rMBP 15 is very slow to reconnect to wifi after waking from sleep.  I've read the Apple support pages with no solutions found.  It can take 10 to 45+ seconds for the wifi to lock on to my home wifi network after the computer wakes from sleep.  While my Macbook Air (2010), iPad3 and iPhone 5 all reconnect almost instantly to the same wifi.  Also I've noticed that after the wifi icon in the menu bar shows it's locked on there is an additional delay before actually being able to connect; like reloading tabs in safari or refreshing my Gmail inbox (in it's own tab not 'Mail app').  Any Ideas how to trouble shoot / fix this issue?
    Really irritates me that this top of the line computer is slower than my other devices.....

  • IMac loses WiFi connection after waking from sleep on OSX 10.8.2

    Bought a new mid-2011 21.5 inch IMac this week. It is not re-establishing WiFi connection after waking from sleep. Was happening on OSX 10.7 that it came with, so updated to 10.8.2 and same problem exists.
    I am running a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display alongside, on OSX 10.8.2 and no problems at all. Cannot work out what is causing the IMac to fail and neither can Apple!
    Could it be the Netgear Wireless Router 3 years old? Full signal strength!

    Me too!
    I am on a MAC Pro desktop and I am having the same issues. I go to system preferences and just click the network icon. Then I close mail and when it opens it now sees the network. This is getting very annnoying. 

  • Losing WiFi connection after waking from sleep

    I've iMac 27 in. with recently upgraded OS X Lion to 10.7.4. After this was done the problems strated with connecting to Wi-Fi through my Time Capsule (2TB, 802.11n 4th Gen) after waking from sleep. Everything works fine when iMac is started after shutdown. My internet router is connected through ethernet cable to Time Capsule and iMac is using Wi-Fi connection with Time Capsule.
    I've tried to install iMac Wi-Fi update v1.0 but it I cann't do it because my OS X is 10.7.4 and the update installer is stopping the installation after the check of my OS version.
    Could anybody help to solve this problem, please?

    but when the
    computer goes to sleep and is then awakened, there
    are no wireless networks listed in chooser... like
    there are no wireless networks available...
    Hi greaser5!
    That is definitely NOT typical operation. Yes, your Core Duo iMac must restart after sleep, but It should reconnect to a working network instantaneously (less than a second), although it will probably take longer than that for your iMac to fully restart after sleep and actually be able to use the network.
    Delete all prior wireless configurations that you have saved on the "Location:" selector of the Network panel of System Preferences. On the Network>AirPort>AirPort panel also delete all your preferred wireless networks. Click the "Apply Now" button.
    Restart your Mac. Turn on AirPort. Use the Network panel's "Assist me..." button and the following blue "Assistant..." button to configure a fresh wireless connection to your working wireless network. This will be fresh and total, just as you did when your iMac was new. There is no need to give your network either a new name or a new password, as the old ones will work just fine in the new configuration, since as you know, the current network is working fine, the iMac simply can no longer connect to it correctly using its current configuration.
    I have not been able to test the above on a Core 2 Duo, so do not know first hand if it will make any difference on those iMacs, but that or some similar fiddling should resolve the issue.

  • MBA loses internet connection after waking from sleep

    I have a new Macbook Air running Mavericks and new 802.11ac Airport Extreme router.
    My problem is that the MBA drops the internet connection after waking from sleep. I tried the solution offered by the OP, but it didn't work.
    In my case, here's what I have to do to get a connection again. I open the Network preference pane, and then choose "Assist me..." and then "Diagnostics". Invariably it will show a green light beside Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Settings and Network Settings. I have 5 bars showing in the WiFi menu bar icon. But ISP, Internet and Server will be yellow.
    When I go through the steps prompted by the wizard, the ISP/Internet/Server lights turn green on the third screen where I select the wireless network I want to join.
    It seems as if it's connecting to the WiFi network when it wakes from sleep, but losing the internet connection?
    Note: I have a new iMac as well running Mavericks and don't have this problem with it.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • Cursor freezes soon after waking from sleep, Magic Trackpad

    I have a mid-2011 21.5" iMac with a Magic Trackpad. Cursor sometimes freezes within a few minutes of waking from sleep. Sometimes it happens several times a day, sometimes I've gone almost a week without it happening. Keyboard continues to work but trackpad is non-responsive. To get it working again I go to Spotlight using the keyboard and search Bluetooth, arrow down to Bluetooth System Preferences in the Spotlight results. After a little while the cursor starts working again.
    When it happens this appears in the Console:
    3/11/14 7:38:41.000 AM kernel[0] [BNBTrackpadDevice] [waitForData][d8-96-95-de-a1-d5] Timeout waiting for data

    This is what I've tried over the past six months: I have tried 3 pairs of Apple recharger batteries (same batteries work fine in keyboard) and a new pair of Energizer batteries, I have tried resetting PRAM and SMC. Three clean installs of Mavericks: First clean install I restored from Time Machine backup. Second clean install I did Migration Assistant from SuperDuper backup. Third time I created new user and did manual drag and drop from backup of user files and manually reinstall apps. I did not move over my fonts in case there were any corrupt ones, so the only fonts I have came with Mavericks. I have a new trackpad courtesy of AppleCare, as well as a new Bluetooth board. I have tried trashing the Bluetooth prefs, removing the trackpad from the Bluetooth list and pairing again. I have seached for solutions in the discussions as well as other sites.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

    I had the same problem. I have found a work around - sort of. I have unchecked the option to "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" (System Preferences / Bluetooth / Advanced). I no longer have the problem. Having to wake the computer another way (I have a USB wireless mouse so no problem for me) and waiting a second or two for the bluetooth devices to connect is less annoying than continually losing trackpad connection. I hope that helps you too.

  • My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Is there any way to make this instant?

    Hi
    My Macbook Pro 15 inch takes several minutes to be able to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Does anyone else have this problem and is there a fix?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.

  • Network connection after waking from sleep

    Hi... More or less any time I allow my MacBook Pro to go to sleep, when I wake it up I am nearly always disconnected from my Airport connection (I connect to a NetGear wireless router via my internal Airport card). I go up to the menu bar and click on the now grey airport icon and I do still see my network in the list of available networks. I click on it, after several seconds a message comes up that says "there was an error joining the Airport network "network name""... But I then simply click on OK (rather than Try Again, I've learned that by trial and error) and the network reconnects just fine... Then when I let the machine sleep again at some later time, I do that all again... Any suggestions of what might be going on??? I do have "Use Interference Robustness" turned on (not that I know why exactly) but I've also had it off before and that seems not to matter... Any suggestions??? thanks... bob..

  • 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!

  • No connection after waking from sleep using Express as base station

    I find it difficult to re-establish my Internet connection after waking from sleep.
    The Airport Express is connected to a wired Linksys router. I am using the Airport Express as my main base station. The Powerbook is joining my preferred network, but I am unable to get any in- or outbound Internet traffic.
    I am, however, able to connect to my Linkys and login to to its admin area. When I run Ping and Traceroute diagnostics from the Linksys web interface, everything seems to be fine-- I am able to see outside servers. So the problem is this-- I am losing my Internet connection somewhere between the Linksys router and my Powerbook. Only after I fiddle I reset the Airport Express and fiddle with the Airport menu (Turn Airport On/Off) am I finally able to get out to the Internet.
    I have the channel switching set to Automatic, but I've also tried running the Airport Express at different channels to no avail.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems?

    Since you have an Airport Express connected to a separate router, start by disabling the router built into the Airport Express. To do this - run the Airport Admin Utility, select your Airport Express, click Configure, click the Network tab, and uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Then - very important - restart all wireless computers.

  • Ethernet slow to connect after waking from sleep

    Since installing Lion (and updating to 10.7.1) on my 2008 24" iMac I have noticed that after waking from sleep the internet connection takes about 10 seconds to restore. I have reset the SMC and PRAM and performed a safe boot (in case this helped) but to no avail. The slow conenction can be observed if after waking from sleep the Network System Preference is clicked and the ethernet status "light" is red, changes briefly to amber and then green indcating a connection. The iMac is connected via an ethernet cable to a Linksys 802.11n 4 port wireless router.
    I also have a 2010 13" MacBook Pro, with the same OS, and version, conencted in the same way to the same Linksys router and it does not exhibit this problem.
    This slow internet connection access after waking from sleep is an annoyance and I'd appreciate any input on how to elimnate it.
    Thanks to those wiser than I, who might read this note.

    SOLUTION FOUND!

    I solved my problem moving the Ethernet and WiFi adapters in the top of the list and Bluetooth at the end.
    Move Wi-Fi to the top of the Service Order list – This is an old tip that simply prioritizes WiFi as the primary method that your Mac should connect to the internet, and it seems to help maintain connections

  • Logic Pro X inaccessible after waking from sleep when using an MCU Control Surface

    I'm having a problem I cannot seem to get around without force quitting Logic every time.  If I have a Control Surface setup as a Mackie Control (v1.0); and if the computer goes to sleep, and then i turn off the controller while the computer is asleep (for any reason), and then wake the computer without turning on the controller first, Logic becomes completely unusable and must be force quit.
    My controller in this example is Solid State Logic's Nucleus controller, however it happens with other Mackie Control compatible controllers (i have another one i tested against), BUT not a real Mackie Controller sold by Mackie (i tested with that as well); more details below.
    For the SSL controller, Logic automatically sets it up like this:
    Now if the computer goes to sleep, and i wake it up, i get the following dialog, which is fine:
    After clicking on "Continue" button or hitting the enter key, Logic is rendered useless, as if there is a modal dialog still open somewhere.  Clicking anywhere on the gui results in white flashes and nothing else.  doing cmd+Q to quit actually makes it try to quit (a save dialog appears), but it never does successfully quit, making me resort to force-quitting.  For an example, here's a pic of the file menu at this point:
    I also have a regular Mackie Control Unit (MCU Pro) and the strange thing is with that unit, everything works fine after sleep, turning off controller, and re-awakening.  However, there is a difference in what kind of dialog is displayed after the sleep, which probably has something to do with this issue.
    Here is the setup screen of the MCU Pro:
    And here is the dialog for the missing ports after waking from sleep:
    This dialog is completely different than the other control surface's missing ports dialog.  When clicking on "Keep unassigned" here, Logic resumes working fine.
    The project is as minimal as possible; nothing is loaded, all that's there is an empty instrument track and a Control Surface configured.
    I'm using a Mac Mini (late 2012)
    Processor  2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel HD Graphics 4000
    Software  OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    with Logic Pro X 10.0.7
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Did you ever figure out a solution to this problem?
    I just pulled out my original Emagic Logic Control (MIDI) and I have having the same problem.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my macbook Pro.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my Macbook Pro.  I have turned off Bluetooth ( which was not an issue previously), uninstalled Chrome, again not an issue before I upgraded, and have not seen any improvement.
    I was using an older OS system (Snow Leopard) on my 2010 Macbook Pro.  I am wondering now if the upgrade was an unwise move?

    jbuckworth,
    which apps do you run under battery power? Are any of them identified as “apps using significant energy” when you click on the battery icon in the menu bar? If you have a 15-inch or 17-inch model, are your apps using the discrete GPU (which consumes more power than the integrated GPU)?
    How many charge cycles has your battery accumulated?
    How long have you had Mavericks installed? Is Spotlight still reïndexing your boot drive? (It does that whenever your OS is upgraded, because so many files change in an OS upgrade.)

  • After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive.  The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.

    After waking from sleep, my iMac (Lion) is unresponsive.  The mouse moves, but when I click things it won't open them.
    This has happened EVERY time the iMac goes to sleep for the last few days.. the only way I have found to resolve the issue is to manually restart the computer each time via the button on the back of the iMac.
    Any and all help is appreciated!
    Thanks

    FWIW, I never sleep my machines or their HDs, just their displays and never have an issue waking up the displays, usually run 24/7. Give that a shot.
