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.

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

Macbook pro runs slow after sleep mode.

This issue has bothered me for a long time already.
And because of this, I have re-installed the OS many times.
But apparently, re-installing the OS does not help.
The machine will runs slow again after a certain period of time.
So, here is my problem.
When you do the four finger down swipe, there will be a zooming out effect, right?
(The same function as pressing F3, which let you knows how many applications you have opened)
This zooming out effect is smooth when I first bought my Macbook Pro.
It is smooth too after I re-install the OS.
But now, after a period of time, this effect becomes so choppy and slow.
As I mentioned above, I tried re-installing the OS. It works, but only works for a few days.
And then it becomes choppy again.
The only solution is to reboot my machine.
Can anyone suggest me what to do?
I guess I have to re-install the OS again tonight... LOL

Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk instead of re-installing.
You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

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:

Imac running slow after installation of Mountain Lion 10.8.2

I purchased Mountain Lion OSX v.10.8.2 to access icloud. Since installing imac running slow, especially connecting to web sites.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
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:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
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) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
Note: I will respond ONLY to the original poster.

Wifi gets disconnected when iMac is restored after sleep mode.

Everytime my imac is restored from sleep mode I have to reconfigure my wifi settings, starting to become a pain.

HACKINT0SH wrote:
It's a known issue, engineering is working on it.
Do you know this as fact? For engineering to be working on it, they would have to admit they had a problem.
In the meantime, I would simply disable sleep mode. It's not like an iMac really needs it.
Also questionable. I've seen the electrolytics on the logic board "pop their tops" on an iMac that had sleep mode disabled.

IMac running while in sleep mode?

I just got my 2011 iMac in the mail 2 days ago and everytime I put it in sleep mode, the screen goes off but the mac keeps running. The top of the mac stays a little warm in sleep mode, but not hot. I'm new to the mac and was wanting to know if this is normal, or is my settings off?

There are 2 levels of sleep, Display and Computer. If only the Display is sleeping after the auto timers have run out, then you may have a process that is keeping the computer from auto sleeping.
On that, work thru the following artical and call us in the morning.

Having issues with iMac not working after sleep mode

When waking up from sleep mode or turning machine on in the mornig computer will not recognize the mouse or track pad. I have a 3.06 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.

sudo nvram boot-args=”-p -r” should get the computer to reset the nvram. After words its a good idea, to go back into Apple Menu, System Preferneces, Startup Disk, and make sure your Hard Drive is selected.
Is the OS up to date? if not, why not try running software update?
have you tried repalcing the batteries?
Have you tested with a wired keyboard or mouse? (dose it have the same issue)
Have you tried a safeboot?

P67A-GD65 (B3) slow after sleep mode

I'm having some problems with sleep mode in Windows 7 64 bit. Whenever I try to come out of sleep it comes out fine but then the computer seems to run a little slower. It's not very noticeable until you play a game, the frame rate is just atrocious but once I restart it's back to normal. At the moment it's set to go into a S3 state. Would a BIOS flash fix this problem or am I missing something here? I can shut it down for now but I like sleep mode and want to use it but I won't unless I can fix this issue.
Added by Mod
First my specs:
P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel i5 3.3 Mhz (Turbo Boost is OC'd to 4.2) Sandybridge
CM Hyper 212+ Cooler
G Skill 2X4GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
HD4850
Corsair CMPSU-TX750
WD 1TB Caviar Black

I've experienced something similar a few months back. The cause of it was that some drivers (can't recall which.. I think it was the marvell but I could be wrong.
What was happening was that everytime I'd go to sleep and return, I'd suddenly get tons of interrupts (can be seen with Process Explorer from SysInternals - Microsoft).
Replacing the drivers with an older version fixed it so that now I can sleep/wake tons of times without any issues anymore.
So first step is to determine what's taking your CPU juice. Get Process Explorer & by default, it'll show you which process takes the most CPU. On my setup with a i7 2600k, 12% of the CPU was taken JUST for the interrupts!! when it's usually 0.01% or so now.

Why is my iMac running slow after upgrading to Mavericks

I have an iMac27 that up until I upgraded to Mavericks ran quite fast. Now applications take much longer to open. When the computer comes out of sleep mode it takes from 30 seconds to a minute to open. All I have is a very dim grey screen and the only thing I can see is the mouse cursor. I have checked Memory and disk space and nothing seems to be wrong using the activity monitor. CPU 50 - 70% idle, Memory Physical 4.GB 3.97 GB used 7.07 Virtual, Memory pressure in the green, App Memory 1.47 GB, File cache 272.2 MB, Wired memory 620.5 MB, Compressed 1.63 GB. Disk space 999.35GB capacity, 441.85 available. When I did install Mavericks it did come back with a disk error. Then it loaded fine. I ran the disk utility and it found and repaired the problem. Running it successive times since have shown no issues.
Thanks

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

Imac 11,2 running slower after installing software updates

I purchased my imac 11,2 Sept. 2010. I recently downloaded my software updates that included airport utility, itunes and canon printer software update. Since these downloads, the imac has been very slow. Does anybody have any suggestions why my imac runs slower after software updates and what can be done to get my imac back to previous speed.

isis24680,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Did you run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions? Do you have your eMac in display-only sleep overnight, or use a utility such as OnyX, or otherwise ensure the Unix crom maintenenace scripts run? OS X 10.4.2 (in 7/05) included provision to force the maintenance scripts when sufficiently oberdue; it's possible you're seeing the Mac trying to catch up on a year-plus worth of maintenance.
Do you have anything showing in System Preferences> Others, especially anything that adds to the menu bar? You'll need to check that any add-on system utilities or background programs are updated to run properly under 10.4.6; a quick way to check is to Start Up in Safe Mode and see if performance returns to normal.
Open Applications> Utilities> Activity Monitor, show all tasks, and sort the list by CPU. Is their anything regularly showing up at more than say 15% of the CPU usage?

IMAC gets stuck in sleep mode

Hi all!
Could somebody please advice me what is going on with my iMAC Intel Core i3. I have just installed new update for 10.6.8. iMAC gets stuck after sleep mode. Power on/off is only the way to get him alive.
I tried to 'google' this issue. Non of topics I found helped ;(
Please!!

You can try some basic troubleshooting:
First restart in Safe Mode this will clear some caches.
If that doesn't help then use Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) to Repair Disk Permissions
If that doesn't help then download and install the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Of course make sure you have a good backup before installing the Update Combo!

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.

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?
