Having to wait for Trackpad and Keyboard to work when waking from sleep, any solutions?

I have a 2012 MBP 13" base model (OSX 10.8.2) and when I first brought it was really fast at waking from sleep (lid being closed) and the trackpad and keyboard would work instantly. Now I'm having to wait 20+ seconds before I can do anything with the trackpad or keyboard. It usually happens after the mac has been asleep more than an hour, any solutions to this problem?

I'm having exactly this issue. I have a 15" MacBook Pro SR as well. It's happened four or five times since I installed Leopard yesterday. The trackpad works but the keyboard is completely dead. Also, choosing "Restart..." from the Apple menu doesn't work, as other apps fail to quit and (if I quit them with the trackpad) I get an error that the finder has failed to quit. As with JGB5, this happens after the MBP wakes from sleep -- sometimes resleeping/reawakening it fixes it, but sometimes the keyboard dies a couple of minutes afterwards anyway, and a restart is required.

BT Keyboard Loses Connection When Waking from Sleep Mode

I'm running Windows 7 on a late 2009 27" iMac and my Bluetooth keyboard keeps loses connection when I wake my computer from sleep mode. Usually the only way I can get it back is my resetting. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help would be great appreciated.

If the MBP doesn't wake when you open the lid but does when you press any key afterward, do this:
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
Copy and paste the following text in the Terminal window:
*sudo pmset lidwake 1*
You'll be asked for your admin password. Type that in (Note: the password will not be displayed as you do so). Press Return, and quit the Terminal. Close the MBP, wait for it to sleep, and open it again. Does it wake now?
If you want to change it back so the system doesn't wake when you open the lid, repeat the procedure, but this time type or paste:
*sudo pmset lidwake 0*

Try updating your system software.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen then click Software Update.
Latest version of Snow Leopard is v10.6.8 / Safari 5.1.

When waking from "sleep" screen turns grey under the pointer and the computer is effectively dead. Have to hold power 'off' for five seconds to regain computer.

When waking from "sleep" the screen appears normal but, the pointer leaves a trail of grey as it moves and the whole screen will turn grey if I keep moving the pointer. The computer is effectively dead. Have to shut down by using power off for six seconds and then re-starting. I know little about computers!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

What can I do for the following situation: I think my insert slot for the headphones does not work; when I put in any cable that should and can go in all I hear is low frequent static sounds.

You might try talking to the Apple store manager and see if you don't get more help...you might also contact Apple.com/support and see if they can give you a contact with the Apple Italy offices.
Sounds like you have two levels of failure, the first shop that did the repair and broke a wire, and the second that has disabled something else and isn't helping.
Apple officially refurbished equipment is usually good quality. Surprising this has happened but you need to press on with complaints and try for resolution.

Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
Here are some things to try.
1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

Workaround for the problem of ultrabay HDD ejecting when waking from sleep

After trying every possible "solutions" with no luck for the problem of the second hard drive always ejecting/disconnecting when waking from sleep in my T530, I've decided to create my own workaround.
This is by no means a definitive solution but a nice workaround that uses little resources on the machine.
The idea is to simply let a program runs constantly from the second hard drive. That way, when the HDD tries to disconnect, Windows is not allowing it and then it stays allways connected.
To make it more thansparent I decided to create a Windows service that starts when Windows boot and stops when Windows shutdown.
This Windows service is very lightweight : it does absolutely nothing and just waits indefinitively.
The trick is that it just have to be started from the second hard drive.
Here is a link to the Windows service, 32-bit and 64-bit, with the source code and scripts to install/uninstall.
Just install it anywhere on the second hard drive (D: in my case).
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxusNBl7tTO-Y3J5VDB3d2lQRzg/edit?usp=sharing
Works perfectly for me on my T530 with Windows 7 Pro x64.

Hmm, I have no problem with Ultrabay ejecting HDD when waking from sleep mode. At first, I went down the same
route as you did. For the first few days when I received my T530 I kept an .iso file from Ultrabay HDD always mounted.
But then I disabled all power saving options within Windows and Lenovo Power Manager and it seems to work fine.
Works both with Windows 8 (64-bit) and Windows XP Professional (32-bit).
T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

Trackpad Jerky or Unresponsive when waking from sleep

I've been having a problem with my trackpad being extremely jerky and unresponsive when it is waking up from sleep. I am a new mac user and I've only had my macbook pro since christmas and this problem is really getting annoying. Twice, I've had to just push the power button and press enter so my notebook would shut down and I could restart. Any Ideas?

First, when waking from sleep, MBP requires a little to get up to speed as it wakes if properly put to sleep. The MBP does hibernate and write to the hard disc when sleeping and this takes some time as does reading back. The book will be viewable immediately on waking but can seem laggard while fully getting up to speed from hibernation. Do not try to wake the computer until the little wake/sleep light has begun pulsing. Two, if you have a usb connection going or an expresscard inserted ... ensure that it lets the computer wake/sleep properly. Before sleeping the 'book, power off the connected items so that they do not interfere with the process.
What connections do you use? and what processes are going when you attempt to sleep the computer?
Use the Activity Monitor and the Console to check what is happening. Both the Console Log and the System Log in the console can provide you with info regarding your problems. Check the logs and post problematic entries here if you cannot interpret them yourself.

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero

My zero Key isn't working after waking from sleep mode. This is a real problem for me because my password contains a zero. I don't recall spilling anything or jamming it just that it worked before I closed the computer and wasn't after I woke it up.
I would like to fix the key but if that's not possible right away , Is there a way to reset my password without being able to type with a key thats in it?

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

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feed

Lacie Speakers and Mac Pro Firewire problem waking from sleep and loud feedback. I had a powermac before this with the speakers and it worked fine. But the mac pro is having these issues. Is it the firewire port or the speakers or (and most likely) just a firmware glitch with mac pro? Anyone else see these issues?

http://web.mac.com/jerimydulay/Site/MyAlbums/Pages/Lacie_FirewireMIDI.html
Here is my audio settings. For some reason I wish I could remember what I did. It was actually the Apple Store tech in the Unversity Village in Seattle that gave me the idea and I swear I had to change the settings in MIDI setup. Now that Leopard is out it seems the MIDI stuff has been redone. I included screenshots of my MIDI setup as it is currently to see if you see something different on your computers. Let me know!

Monitor Blanks in and Out When Waking From Sleep

Since getting my Mac Pro (with Apple installed RAM and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT), I've noticed that the screen does not immediately turn on when waking from sleep, as my older Macs did. Rather, it turns on for a split second, goes blank for two seconds, turns on again for a split second, goes off again for a second or more, and then comes on permanently.
This behavior only occurs when waking from sleep; it does not occur when the monitor turns on from the active screen saver.
Is this normal for the MAC Pro with an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT? I have a HP w2408h monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable. Everything else works fine, including all video behavior.
Thank you.

Hm. Bluetooth, interesting. Thanks for the idea.
I just opened the lid to see about the BT setting and the display didn't go off-on. The BT is off, I'm pretty sure I did that when setting it up as I don't use BT for anything.
I wasn't suspecting anything was seriously wrong, it's just that quick-on feature was highlighted as a selling point and I was curious about the glitch, if it was a setting I could change, for instance like you've highlighted. Annoying when things don't work as advertised.
And if I show the machine off to colleagues and friends, that will be a bad first impression they will want explained.

IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5) All updates via Software Update
iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

No Keyboard Backlight when waking from sleep on MBP

Haven't see this anywhere else, but on 10.4 the keyboard backlight would light up when waking from sleep, allowing me to enter my password more easily. Since upgrading to Leopard, that feature has vanished. Not sure it this is classified as a bug or not, but the functionality in the previous version was very useful! It would be nice to have it back!
(And yes, my backlight settings are fine - the backlight turns on once I have entered my password successfully)

IMac won't search for trackpad and keyboard after restart

I've recently experienced problems using the trackpad and keyboard to wake up my iMac. Twice in the last 2 months we have been unable to wake the mac, so we would use the power button to restart it, and when it came back on again the keyboard and trackpad would be fine.
However, the same thing happened yesterday and when we restarted the mac it refused to search for the bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. normally if we have an issue we'd get the "connection lost" then "connected' message, but none of that is happening. Both devices are on, and the batteries are fine. I've tried using a usb mouse but there's no response with that either. We're stuck on the log in screen

The classic turn off and on (disconnect power cable etc)? Just gave that a try, didn't work I'm afraid. Thanks for your reply though Barry.

Bluetooth Keyboard not functioning well when waking from sleep in 10.8

I've got two different Macs I've recently upgraded to 10.8. Both have wireless keyboards that I use with them.
Both keyboards are now having problems when the computer is waking from sleep. Sometimes the keyboard
input is very slow (there's a long lag between a keypress and seeing the letter on the screen), or it shows multiple
characters when only one key has been pressed.
Unpairing the keyboard, and re-pairing it fixes the problem, but obviously it's annoying .
Has anyone else seen this issue? Is there a fix?

So, my machine fell asleep, and when it awoke, I typed in my password to unlock OmniFocus and Yahoo Messenger. Then nothing, back to a machine I could move the mouse on, move windows around, but couldn't actually access anything. I noticed however, the Yahoo Messenger window was stuck trying to reconnect and the OmniFocus Keychain unlock window was still on the screen. Even with forcing Yahoo Messenger to quit, I could not get around the keychain window.
Knowning this, I checked for updates to Yahoo Messenger and Omnifocus, and low and behold there is an update for Lion compatibility for OmniFocus, and a more recent version of Yahoo Messenger. With these two upgraded, hopefully this will resolve any more issues.
Seems 99.9% of all my issues with Lion were over software needing to be updated. Not a bad thing, but it takes time.
