Lion 10.7(.1) wake from sleep bug? help?

When opening my computer the screen turns on instantly but the trackpad/mouse and keyboard are unresponsive for 2-3 seconds. I've searched around and can't find many people with the same problem... or nobody seems to mind?? I only have this problem with Lion (I've tried 10.7 and 10.7.1)
Any advice would be appreciated.
I am using a 2011 13'' i7 MBP w/ 8GB G.Skill and 160GB Intel 320.

bump?

Lion, external monitor, and wake from sleep - please help!

For the most part I love Lion. However, the changes they made to the external monitor support are not helpful for me. Let me explain...
I have a 13" 2009 MBP. In my office I use a monitor stand that the laptop can slide into from either the left or the right, and the monitor sits on top. Previously I would simply take my closed MBP in sleep mode, slide it under the stand, and plug everything in. Once the power cord and monitor cable were plugged in, as soon as I inserted something into the USB or SD-Card slot (or I think even the ethernet jack) the laptop would wake from sleep and the monitor would come on.
Now, however, this doesn't happen. My only option is to plug everything in, open the laptop so it wakes up, then close the lid, then slide it into the stand. This is definitely NOT an improvement! Before I had my phone at the left of the monitor stand, and would slide the laptop in from the right. Now, though, I have no choice but to slide it in from the left (after going through the above hassel), which means I had to move the phone off of my desk.
The energy saving preferences have the "wake on network access" box checked, which would make me think that it would wake up as soon as the ethernet cord is plugged in - but no such luck. I also have wireless in the office, but it's hard for it to recognize that when it's in sleep mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution I'm missing here? I'm using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse, so of course those won't do anything while the computer is asleep.

I'm beginning to hate Lion because of this one problem. It's great that Lion doesn't sleep when you close the laptop with external monitor connected. But I can no longer wake the external monitor with USB mouse movement. I have to open and close the lid. This is very inconvenient when switching between two systems with KVM. The MacBook is awake; it just won't wake the monitor.

Lion apps do not wake from sleep

Several times after may 2008 Macbook using OS X Lion, it struggles to recover from sleep. When it finally revives, all apps that were open are now closed. What could possibly be the problem?

That's interesting, I don't use the Apple->Sleep, but I tired it several times with 10.8.1 on my system and it woke up in a timely fashion.
There is something strange going on with it being intermittent for me, a combo of always & intermittent for you.
I suspect there is some combination of circumstances that's not obvious that's causing it.
I've looked through the logs and don't see any clues.
I submitted a bug report some time back.
You might consider submitting one as your situation is a little different and you have a circumstance that always causes the problem.

Lion very slow to wake from sleep

Since performing a clean install of 10.7 (now at 10.7.3), my MacBook Pro takes several minutes to wake from sleep. With Snow Leopard it would take seconds. The settings in the preferences are the same. It also does another strange thing: When waking the screensaver, the screen freezes and, using my mouse, drag it around until I find my login icon... The mouse leaves a trail behind it - kind of like an etch-a-sketch does. I ran disk utilities and, although it found numerous problems and repaired them, it is still acting strange. This is annoying... I'm tempted to go back to Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1806

With Mountain Lion MacPro does not wake from sleep

I have installed Mountain Lion (10.8.1) on a Mac Pro (Model appeared early 2008).
However when the system is sleeping, Mac does not awake from sleep by pressing any key of the keyboard.
The keyboard is inactive.

Crash when wake from sleep..help!

I've had this problem on and off, but it's become very serious ever since I installed the latest security update.
Pretty much every time I open the PB from sleep it crashes...what I mean by that is that the screen is black and there's no response from the computer.
I have tried:
-Repairing permissions
-Trashing the power management preferences
-Swapping the Ram (I have 2 512MB RAM sticks)
-Running various hardware tests
I don't know what to do anymore, but I'm getting very very frustrated!
Specs are Alu PB 1.25GHz, 1 Gig RAM, 5400 rpm HD.
I'm hopeful someone here can give me some help!
Thanks!

I had the same problem with an Al 15" 1.25hz powerbook. My problem seemed to be related to waking after I had put it to sleep by closing the lid. Among many other experiments the advice below seems to have solved the problem. I now put the book to sleep with the power button and 's' and it no longer opens when you lift the lid, but that is a very small inconvenience.

Hi Mightdancer --
Yes, there is a way to turn off the function whereby the PB wakes when the lid is opened. I learned this just a few weeks back, reading a post by Ned Snowing of this fora. I've found Ned to be one of the more reliable and authoritative posters on here, and here's what he wrote, in pertinent part, on the subject of how to stop your PB from waking up when automatically when the lid opens:
You can ... tell your PowerBook to not wake when you open the lid. In this mode you need to either hit the space bar or power button to wake the computer. This is what I do as I don't always want to wake my PowerBook on the moment I open the lid.
To do this open Terminal and type :
pmset -g
This will give you your current power settings and if you look down and check next to "lidwake" it will either be a "0" or "1". A "0" means that it will not wake when you open the lid and a "1" means that it will wake.
To set the "lidwake" mode to not wake type the following :
sudo pmset -a lidwake 0
… and subsequently type in your administrator password when asked. By typing "pmset -g" again you should see that the "lidwake" entry has been modified and your PowerBook will no longer wake when you open the lid.
Obviously if you want to restart your PowerBook's behaviour to wake when you open the lid type into Terminal:
sudo pmset -a lidwake 1

10.9.4 Wifi Wake From Sleep Bug?

Anyone else seeing a new wifi problem crop up after upgrading to 10.9.4?
My rMBP wifi does not work properly once you put it to sleep and wake it up... all connectivity via wifi becomes extremely slow, turning the wifi off/on does nothing to fix that. Only a full restart will fix the wifi and then it runs as you would expect it to. Put it back to sleep and wake again (by lid shut/unshut), wifi goes back to being extremely slow.
Late '13 13" rMBP here - 2.6/8/512.

Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Commercial Antivirus software can negatively impact the normal operation of OS X.
Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac? These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
How many apps launch at startup/login?
Have you updated all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied?
You may need to go the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Do you run any Google apps like Chrome or Drive?
Completely uninstall Google Chrome and/or drive per the instructions on Google's website. Currently, these Google apps are not playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Until Google releases a reliable and proper fix or update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall all Google apps. If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox. Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and releases updates regularly.
Have you updated all of your Web browser Internet plugins and extensions, also?
Also, if you have any third party devices, like keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, audio/video external devices, etc, have you updated the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions, as well?

Late 2010 macbook air slow to wake from sleep

Hi, my late 2010 macbook air running mountain lion is slow to wake from sleep, so when i lift the lide the screen is unreactive and it take approx a minute before I am able to enter my password, I am just wondering if anyone else had had this problem and has any solutions because its annoying, I have also noticed that when my macbook is on charge this doesn't happen!
Thanks!!

Hi shaners2491!
I would suggest that you attempt to reset a part of your computer's software called the System Management Controller. Information on doing this can be found here:

Mountain lion - wake from sleep - destroys hdd

I upgraded my macbook pro mid 2009 model to mountain lion.
First crash - left my computer for 3 hrs playing music using iTunes. Hdd went to sleep, screen is sleeping as well. I moved my mouse and everything froze. Music stopped. Waited for a minute. Nothing happened. I forced shutdown by holding power button for 5 seconds. Reboot failed because hdd can no longer be detected. (Gray folder with question mark) Not even by the install disk.
I brought it to the service center and they replaced my hdd after i approved it. It works ok then. Reinstalled mountain lion and all my stuff.
Second crash - i left my computer for an hour playing music through Grooveshark. Screen and hdd went to sleep while music still played ok. I moved the mouse to wake from sleep but the screen remained black. I can see the cursor not moving but the music was still playing. I put down the lid and waited for a few seconds before turning it on. Screen was still black except for mouse. Music stopped when i closed the lid. I forced shutdown by holding the power button for 5 seconds. Reboot failed because the hdd cannot be detected. (Gray folderneith question mark) Not even by the install disk.
I'm going to the repair center tomorrow and have it checked again. It's only been a week since i got back from the repair center...
So i was reading about the issues with mountain lion waking from sleep where the hdd has slept as well. But it seems that their hdds were intact and they were able to reboot. Mine however, has left my hdd as a heavy paper weight.
2 things, how do I repair the hdds and use them again? Is the issue caused by waking from sleep with the hdd sleeping as well?
Note that in both occurrences, my mbp was plugged in.
Or is it possible that the 2009 model just can't handle mountain lion?
I'm thinking of using ubuntu to force mount my 2 broken hdds and hopefully recover some of my data though all my important files and documents are in sugarsync and dropbox. (Thank God for online storage!) though this is quite detrimental to teaching...

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

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.

After Lion upgrade, having network issues after wake from sleep

After upgrading to Lion from 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011), I am unable to connect to the Internet after the computer wakes from sleep. I should rephrase this - I am able to ping IP's and DNS (DNS servers are present) however none of my apps will connect (Safari, iChat, etc) -> they all indicate the Internet is unavailable. I have two Airport Express's running 7.5.2 extending a WiFi network off an Airport Extreme running 7.5.2. This issue is specific to waking from sleep. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appriciated.

It's definitely linked to Time Machine and backups.
I think If I put my machine to sleep/close the lid and Time Machine happens to be performing a backup, when I open the lid again, the network connection is lost and I receive a bunch of errors about the backup disk being unavailable.
This means that if my mbp isn't in the middle of a backup when I put it to sleep, wifi comes back up without a problem.

After installing Lion OSX on Macbook Air, no longer wakes from sleep

Since installing Lion and after update to 10.7.4, Mac book Air no longer wakes from sleep. Have to hold pwr key for a few seconds and restart. Tried resetting SMC and PRAM but no effect.

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
If there's no change, do as follows.
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 the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
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, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, 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 next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
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? 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.

Wake from sleep OS X Lion - Mac Pro 2008

Sorry to post another question about sleep but I cant find my answer searching through the other questions. When my mac pro went to sleep on snow leopard, all was fine.
Since I've upgraded to Lion im having a problem, waited for the first patches and im still having a problem.
When i try to wake from sleep (clicking the mouse or hitting a key on the keyboard). The Mac Pro will start to wake, send the fan spinning at full pelt. If left to its own, after about a minute it will just go back to sleep and fail to wake.
There was a solution to this I found. When it starts to wake, I hit a key for the 2nd time and it wakes up fine. So its taking 2 inputs to wake correctly.
This is naturally causing me problems for the wake for ethernet access required for "back to my mac". The machine wont wake without the 2nd input.
suggestions? and yes i put the hard disks to sleep but i cant see this being anything to do with the problem. As my current solution would suggest its not them.

Well nobody came up with a solution for me. So i thought I'd give it a go and clean it. I mean proper clean it, i got the mac tech docs of a torrent site and dismantled the thing. Took the graphics card out and took it apart, cleaned and dusted the hink sinks etc.. Did the same with the towers fan units (which i wouldn't recommened to anybody not confident with thier hands. Vacumed out what ever i could (i don't own a compressor but would have loved one for this job). Then put it all back together again.
All seems to working fine now. So what seemed like a problem with software was linked to the hardware starting up it would appear.
So i also did more more detailed liistening to the noise and it seemed to be coming from the graphics card more than the main tower fans (Nvidia 8800GT). I would advise cleaning the dust out of your machine if anybody has a simular problem.
hope this helps somebody

IMac won't wake from sleep since Lion!

Since installing Lion my iMac (intel core 2Duo) won't wake from sleep properly using my wireless keyboard, trackpad or magic mouse! I haven't changed any settings and I have to hold down the power button to force shut down and then restart! Any help?? x

Hi all
Finally went to the Genius Bar to ask the question as nothing has worked. They said I needed to reset my PRAM. I did it (Following these instructions... http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 ) and it worked.
So relieved....it was really annoying me.
Hope this helps others with the same issue.
Thanks

Jump Desktop on Mountain Lion - Won't wake from sleep

Installed Mountain Lion. Now it will not wake from sleep when connecting from my iPhone 4 or new iPad when connecting via Jump Desktop. Screen sharing is turned on and gmail account and password are all correct. No problem connecting as long as my MacBook Pro is awake. With Lion, there was no problem waking from sleep when connecting. Anyone have the same problem -- or a solution?

Had the same problem, as a work around tick the
'prevent computer from sleeping automatically when the display is off'
button in power settings
Although not in sleep, it means the screen is off but still can be controlled remotely
worked for me
