IMac locking up in Yosemite after sleep mode engaged

iMac 27 locking up after sleep mode requiring full power shut down and rebooting in safe mode then shutting down and rebooting normally.. Permissions and this check show no errors, the only error sleep mode failure. Boot up is very slow as well as wake up when possible is slow. Yosemite seems to need a new release in order to correct the boot problems. System operates more like a Windows machine than Apple machine what's going on?

In Ten (10) Crash logs it gives me the following reason:

  • Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode.  Anybody else having these problems?

    Hi,
    Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before.  The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc.  Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
    I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
    I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update!  I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • Imac running slow after sleep mode

    not sure what's going on but i can't use sleep mode on my imac 2010 sl
    whenever it wakes from sleep mode it is so slow, even typing an email i'll get the flywheel coming up and a delay in the words i'm typing. every application is slow, i have to a restart for it to start working normally again.
    my wife has the same problem with her macbook pro of similar vintage and os.
    anyone else have this problem and know a solution?

    I too have been noticing problems in slow behavior after sleep mode.  It has gotten so bad I have been restarting it regularly or shutting down much more regularly.  It behaves almost like normal after a re-start.
    It is almost like the hard drive is failing? Last time this happened I put a new HD in.  I am usually running a large number of different programs, always multi-tasking, which has been a mac fortie. Seems worse with the last few updates.  My I mac is 24" imac 2008 model. replaced drive just before apple care expired.

  • I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode.  If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.  I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion.

    I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode.  If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
    I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
    I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
    Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?

    Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
    For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
    To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
    At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
    Good luck!

  • IMac with waking up randomly from sleep mode

    Hello everybody!
    Since I installed Snow Leopard (all updates done) my iMac is randomly waking up from sleep mode without any reason that I know of. Some days everything is fine, next day it wakes up when I am at work and retrieves mails (thats how I see it is awake).
    Also I set it up to shut down after 1h idle time- this does not work as well.
    Any ideas how to track the problem?

    Just happened again.

  • Macbook pro runs really slow after sleep mode

    My MBP ( MacBook Pro (13-inch, medio 2012), 2,5 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB), runs very slow after sleep mode. I notice that when I wake it up, my memory usage is nearly 8 GB. After a restart it is back no a normal level, between 2 and 5 GB depending on how many programs I am running. Any ideas what causes this? My IOS is Yosemite 10.10.2
    Kind regards

    Hi Japib
    Thanks for your reply. Here is my report:

  • Lion autoconnecting after sleep mode, lion autoconnecting after sleep mode

    It's really frustrating that my Mac 9/10 times won't reconnect after sleep mode.
    Is there something I can download to fix this please.

    This should be filed under "What Worked for Me".  For me this turned out to be a simple fix for a tough problem.  Maybe someone else can benefit from my experience so I'm dropping this into the forum to be searchable.
    The short answer is to try putting your WiFi station on a low channel number. It fixed my reconnect problem permanently. I can only speculate about why this works, but it's easy to try.
    Long version-  Fails to autoconnect after sleep, own station not listed in wifi dropdown list.
    After almost a year of flawless reconnect, my iMac* suddenly began failing to reconnect or even list my SSID after waking from sleep. It showed everything else in the neighborhood, but my own station had been blacklisted somehow.
    I could get a connection eventually, but it took 10 or 20 or more on/off cyles of the wifi radar symbol. It got to be very annoying. All the other computers including macs and PCs and ipads that visit my house had no problem. This included a MacBook with the same operating system (but a different wifi card).
    I didn't write anything down at first so I'm not sure if it was triggered by an update. It might have started after some of my neighbors bought new routers.
    I tried all the suggestions I could find on all the forums, including clearing the keys from key manager, clearing the preferred stations, etc. No luck. Sometimes it would reconnect immediately but the next time it could be very stubborn.
    I knew I was getting closer to the snag when I read about 802.11d and country codes. I looked in the system log (kernel.log) with the console and found these lines repeated:
    Mar 23 11:49:52 ZZZZZ-iMac kernel[0]: 72833.117059: performCountryCodeOperation: Not connected, scan in progress[0]
    Mar 23 11:49:53 ZZZZZ-iMac kernel[0]: en1: 802.11d country code set to 'TW '.
    Mar 23 11:49:53 ZZZZZ-iMac kernel[0]: en1: Supported channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 56 60 64 149 153 157 161
    I definitely do not live in 'TW '.
    The number of times this message appeared exactly matched the number of retries that were necessary. The last entry would have my own country code (Finland) and a much longer list of supported channels:
    3/25/13 3:10:21.000  kernel: en1: 802.11d country code set to 'FI '.
    3/25/13 3:10:21.000  kernel: en1: Supported channels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 36 40 44 48 52 56 60 64 100 104 108 112 116 120 124 128 132 136 140
    There are three (illegal ?) routers in my neighborhood advertising TW as the country. (Taiwan maybe?) I discovered how to see the country codes from my neighbors' routers:
    (Apple) -> About This Mac -> More info… -> System Report … -> Wi-Fi
    Press the Wi-Fi label in the list on the left, not the one on the right-hand side that shows if you hit "Network".
    I have an Airport Extreme dual band, and had the 2.4 Ghz on channel 13 and the 5 Ghz on channel 48, to stay clear of other channels in my neighborhood. I began to suspect that these channels may be overlooked or at least given last choice because they were not in the Supported Channels list for TW.
    The behavior of protocol 802.11d is to scan for a country code from one of the nearby routers. The question is, what is the search order? You would think it would start with your own router, but maybe they were not on the list because the channels I picked are not valid in all areas. Or maybe it just starts on channel 1 and mine came in last at 13.
    So I dropped the 2.4 Ghz channel to channel 2. Immediately the connection became 100% reliable.  My explanation could be bogus, but it has worked reliably all week, not a single failure, which means about 30 restarts from sleep, plus a lot of manually run on/off sleep/wake cycles. Before this fix, I could knock myself offline with just one on/off cycle.
    Unanswered questions: This is a desktop machine, so why is it so worried that I may have moved to another country since the last session an hour ago? Why can't I set the country code manually?
    p.s. Just as one last check I just now switched back to channel 13. It took 10 tries to connect. Back to channel 2, connected immediately.

  • Mbp running slow after sleep mode

    My MBP runs extremely slow after sleep mode (closing lid). It seems like Safari will take up much RAM. But I use a memory freer which supposedly should solve the problem. So after all I am not sure what is the real cause and what could solve this.
    BTW it runs normally after a reboot.
    Mine is a mbp 13" refurb purchased in March, 2012.
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM

    I too have been noticing problems in slow behavior after sleep mode.  It has gotten so bad I have been restarting it regularly or shutting down much more regularly.  It behaves almost like normal after a re-start.
    It is almost like the hard drive is failing? Last time this happened I put a new HD in.  I am usually running a large number of different programs, always multi-tasking, which has been a mac fortie. Seems worse with the last few updates.  My I mac is 24" imac 2008 model. replaced drive just before apple care expired.

  • Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

    Hello. My mac pro early 2008 restarts after sleep mode and it works slower. I tested it with apple hardwear test and it seems to be ok. Thank you.

    Try this:
    clone your system and repair it with Disk Warrior instead
    Or try a clean test system install on another drive
    A must: SmcFanControl 2.2 - a mere 400 rpm extra to keep air cooling up
    Try to run w/o externals. MyBook included.
    Is that a 7200.11 1TB? they had a lot of issues.
    Run AHT off your OEM DVD.
    2008 had to have EFI and SMC updates to deal with freezes on wake from sleep, and like all models, high inrush current.  Hopefully you have a UPS and is 1500VA unit.
    When you do hard restart from power button, you almost certainly add more directory errors and to files requiring immediate attention to repair and rebuild the directory; and to scan and repair and delete cache and temp files and folders. A must. Invest in bootable backups SuperDuper along with Disk Warrior (or TechTool Pro 6, maybe Drive Genius 3 but I'd rate that #3).
    TimeMachine has its own bad habits, especially with Green drives and some externals.
    Try to rule out everything and then add back one at a time.
    And it may just be time to replace the 8800, very common, a couple threads this week, and it is 3 yrs old.  Might want ATI 5870 or 5770.

  • WLan fails to connect after sleep mode - Satellite T110-10x

    Hi,
    Everything works fine, wireless connected.
    After sleep mode - it fails to connect although it detects my wireless network.
    I've tried the latest Realtek driver, still no good.
    I've verified that my setup is not to turn down wireless in the power options.
    Any idea?

    Hi
    Where did you find the latest WLan driver?
    Here on this Toshiba driver page you can find the latest Wlan driver:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    I recommend uninstalling firstly the old driver and then to install the newer version.
    Furthermore its necessary to update the BIOS. I read in the forum that similar issues could be solved by BIOS update.

    Enermax PRO82+ 525W powersupply,
    Sapphire ATI HD5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E video,
    8GB Corsair 1333MHz RAM,
    WD Velociraptor 150GB 10,000 RPM boot drive,
    WD 500GB Caviar Black for file storage,
    Plextor DVD-RW,
    CoolerMaster case.
    Older Viewsonic VP2030B monitor,
    Older Microsoft Desktop 6000 V2 keyboard/mouse.
    With standard Windows 7 power saving features enabled, the following
    intermittent problems occur:
    After the system has gone into sleep mode, the video card provides no signal to the monitor. Moving the mouse or touching keys on the keyboard obviously bring the system back out of sleep mode, but no video signal is received. Unplugging the DVI-D
    cable from the card results in the Windows sound indicating a change. Plugging it back in, results in a Windows sound indicating the change. This happens when you unplug one end of the cable, it doesn't matter if it is at the monitor end or the video card
    end - as long as the other end is of course still plugged in. The only resolution to this "no video" state is to reboot the computer with the power or reset button.
    On some occasions when turning the PC on, there is no video signal. The system boots properly (although the BIOS screen takes about 15 seconds to appear - something MSI says is OK), and can be shut down with the correct keyboard sequence. The monitor
    runs through VGA, DVI-A and DVI-D, but no signal is ever received so it goes into standby mode. 
    When the computer boots properly, usually while it is still loading Outlook (which is set to start automatically), the screen goes completely blank for 5 or more seconds, then comes back on and the monitor menu indicates that it is running at the correct
    resolution, and then the video works correctly from there on in - unless it goes to sleep.
    On some occasions, when recovering from a "no video after sleep mode" incident, everything on the screen has been moved towards the upper left side of the screen. The Outlook window which is normally quite large (80%) and centred on the screen has been reduced
    in size to about 50% and shoved into the top left corner. Also, the 4 gadgets that normally run vertically along the right side of the screen have been moved up and towards the middle of the screen, one or two of them often overlap others.
    Things I have done/tried:
    All Windows 7 updates,
    All motherboard BIOS updates,
    All video card drivers and software updates from ATI,
    Replaced the DVI-D cable,
    Uninstalled the video card and drivers, and moved the card to a different PCI-E slot,
    Replaced the video card with another Sapphire ATI HD5450 card (temporarily).
    Sapphire thinks it's a hardware problem with the original card, but since temporarily replacing it with another card, the problems continue, so I doubt that is the issue. (Plus I have to pay $25 to ship the apparently defective - under warranty card - back
    to them.)
    These problems have happened intermittently since the system was built in January 2010 and they seem to be quite random, sometimes not happening for weeks, other times happening every few days. Sometimes the system is in sleep mode for 1/2 hour and it happens,
    other times it is in sleep mode for hours and it happens (or doesn't).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi again,
    OK, I finally got around to trying this. I still have to check if that actually fixed it, but I managed to get into the "Factory" OSD screen.
    I had my system running, disconnected my new monitor and plugged in the flaky old Viewsonic. I then:
    1. Depressed and held down the #2 button, then depressed and held down the Power button,
    2. Almost immediately the amber power light turned-on, the backlight turned on and the output image from the PC showed up.
    3. The On Screen Display (OSD) for all the monitor setting came up (at the bottom of the screen instead of the middle where it normally is), and underneath the Main Menu window in the OSD, along the bottom of the overall OSD window, the word "Factory" appears
    in the middle between the control button keys (#1 for exit, and #2 for enter). (It's not normally there.)
    4. Using the down arrow key on the face of the monitor, I highlighted the "Factory" menu item, pressed the #2 key and voula! there was a whole new simple white text on bright blue background window, which among all sorts of settings included "Factory Reset"
    (which is the default selection).
    5. I pressed #2 again to accept and it was done.
    All that is left is to do is some user testing to see if the monitor behaves as new.
    Additional informtion: in the top of the "Factory" menu it reads: "LOVP AU Ver.0.36"
    I took photos of everything and will post them on my Flickr account. To find them go to wwww.flickr.com, click on the search button, then on the next screen click on the People tab, enter my name and click search.
    Thanks again for the advice.

  • Memory RAM upgrade won't wake up after sleep mode

    i just recently purchase a pair  16GB RAM of crucial  CT2K8G3S160BM for newegg.com. Yeesterday i try put this on my macbook i7 intel 2.9 processor that crucial said is compatible. but found out everything was good until i close my mac lid for hibernate. What happen is, it won't wake up no matter what i do until a way of reset SMC. BTW i try stick by stick to plug in together with my original 4gb RAM together found out 1 was ok and other one was not. But somehow why the info of hardware show that memory ram 16GB was installed and was OK. Everything was run smooth even booting. The only problem is won't wake up after sleep mode. I already try reset smc, pram, delete startimage, delete powermanagement.file and also sudo hibernate 0-7. Did anyone had this same issue of me. I'm my curiousity will it be the bad ram or software problem.

    i just google around and found this two both crucial ram. Both spec are the same but different model no.
      CT102464BF160B 16GB  and mine is CT2K8G3S160BM are this 2 same? but both same spec.

  • Ipod classic wont start up or reset after sleeping mode

    Hi. I've just got a new iPod Classic 160Gb, one week old. Everything is fine except that it won't turn on after sleep mode is on. I cant do the restart. The iPod somehow does not response to the menu+start buttons at the same time. It however wakes to live when I plug it to the computer. But when not in use and after it enters sleeping mode I still cannot turn it on. The only option again is to plug it to the computer. This is not right...?? It has the latest software and I have reset to original setup through iTunes.
    Anyone know how I could solve this problem? Could this be a hardware fault?
    Robban22

    Hi, did you ever find a fix for this? My iPod Classic has just done the exact same thing - red X, won't be detected on Windows, and won't go into disk mode (will go into Config mode, but I can't see anything in that mode that will help).
    Would really like to be able to put this into disk mode so I can try to restore my files...

  • IMac Having screen issues when in sleep mode

    Hey everyone,
    Does anyone have this problem, when my computer goes into sleep mode the screen turns like this...

    Thanks for the suggestion, I have firstly gone through the procedure suggested in the article 'Resetting the system management Controller' before actually resetting it.  Should the iMac fail to come out of sleep mode then I shall reset as you suggest.

  • Monitor won't wake up after sleep mode

    Does anyone know how to fix the monitor, so it starts up after sleep mode? When my computer comes out of sleep mode the monitor doesn't always come on. Does anyone else have this problem and do you know the cause? The computer is only a few months old and hadn't had any problems.
    Thanks,
    Shaneil

    Well my solution may not be the most cientific one but it works for me (at least until the real solution comes to the public)...
    My computer has the problem that when it goes to sleep mode she never comes back... but it the screen that does not comes back... all the system is workin in behind (its like the brightness level was set on the less power possible) so i had to turn off the computer and had to do for a long time some times i had to wait that the computer cooled off a little and then try again to turn it on... I some tried things that the support page of apple said it could be... but did worked out... i dont know i think is a problem over 2 factors...
    1. heating (the screen generates to many heat but, TO MANY!)
    2. tiger os the OS "sleep mode" (it knows that the screen its heating a lot and tries to go to sleep to prevent over heating and damage)
    So based on this i tried conecting a external monitor to the computer while she was unable to "awake" (or to show some thing in the screen)... and it worked whit no problem at all... so my conclusion was to prevent the over heating (1st factor) and the sleep mode (2nd factor)... so I deactivated the sleep mode setting up the computer to a never sleep mode... and to prevente the over heating well I use a low bright and when i need more brightness (to se the colors of what im doing or some thing like that) I use high brightness... when I away I set the brightness level to no brightness so there is no over heat and no sleep mode (cus if it is deactivated and it over heats it will go to sleep anyway...
    Soooooo....
    1. deactivate Sleep mode...
    2. Activate a Screen saver...
    3. And remember to contro your brightness your self... and turn it off when you are not using your computer...
    well i hope it works for some body :P cya...
