Mac freezes when going out of sleep

Hi
Sometimes, when I wake up my mac form sleep it totally freezes (except the mouse movement). I cannot click anywhere, shutdown or restart my mac, and command + option + esc (Force quit) doesn't work! So i have to reboot my mac on the power button, and I loose everything that was not saved!
Somebody knows why is this problem happening? And how can I solve it?
(I've made all softwares updates, in case someone thinks this is the problem...)
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem. In another post someone said the computer might be overheating and suggested installing smcFanConrol. I tried this but it didn't help. I tried everything above but no luck. The only way I can keep my computer from locking up is to turn off computer sleep when computer is inactive, turn off display sleep when computer is inactive, and uncheck the "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible. Then it will run all day with no problem but with no screensaver. Also, when sleep was on and I was able to unwake the computer, if I went to the dock (which was hidden) it would freeze.

MacBook freezing when coming out of sleep mode

Several times now my computer has completely frozen just after it comes out of sleep mode, and I've had to manually shut it down using the power button. Is anyone else having this problem?

I bought two Macbooks; 2.4 Ghz, one was directly purchased from Apple with 4GB RAM; the other one was standard equipped with 2GB, but shop swapped it to 4GB total.
The last Macbook has exactly same problem as you all describe. Most of the times when you open the lid, the Macbook doesn't wake up from sleep. Screen remains black, though keyboard backlit turns on.
Computer hangs completely; and need to perform hard-power-down. Indeed also power LED is not pulsating during sleep; or stops doing it after a while.
I've tried to reset the SMC as suggested in other threads, but it didn't help. Has anybody already gone to Apple about this and got this resolved? I'm not sure whether it's the memory upgrade of the shop, as the other Macbook that came with 4GB seems not have this problem anymore (I had it only once on the first day). Not sure whether RAM upgrade is problem, because while running the Macbook it works perfectly and is completely stable.

Computer Freezes When Coming Out From Sleeping

I'm using a new dual core 20" iMac System. Lately when ever I try to wake-up my system after its been a sleep for about 5 hours or more it freezes and I can not do anything. I must restart the system. I spoke with the people from tech support and they say that because all of my software that I use is not "Universal" this is what is causing my problem. I don't believe them. Is any body else having similar problems. Please advise.

Welcome to Discussions, Ronald J!
Open Disk Utility found in Utilities. Use the help menu to learn how to repair disk permissions.
If repairing disk permissions doesn't resolve, check that your firmware is up to date using the info provided for your particular model and using the Hardware Overview info of the utility System Profiler.

After verifying that it is, in fact, installed, reset your iMac's SMC.

PowerBook freezes when coming out of sleep/screensaver

This problem with my 12" PowerBook started yesterday. I thought it was because I bumped it slightly, but I really don't know.
When I leave my PowerBook with the screen open and try to wake it up again from the screensaver, it freezes. I get the colored, spinning wheel and the computer won't respond to the keyboard or mouse. I had a downloaded screensaver from the Apple website and I just deleted it to see if that was the problem. Now I can't even change my screensaver settings in System Preferences. It just freezes.
What can I do?
PowerBook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Welcome, Alliekat08
i would first start to reset PRAM. if this doesn't help, i would do as fast as possible a backup of all files you want to keep. next step would be to see if it has to do with a specific screen svaer, or not.
There might also be some settings which lead to this problem; you might try to move the screensaver settings (the System-Prefs) to a file with a different name, it is the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist located in /User/Library/Preferences.
more complicated solutions might be an "Archive and Install" respectively an "ERASE and Install", but these are really drastic approaches. if you are (relatively) new on macintoshs, i would post back, before i would go to do this.
Hope this helps,
Thomas

Why does my MAC sometimes crash when coming out of sleep mode?

My mac freezea sometimes when coming out of sleep mode, and occasionally the screen will go black. At other times I will be using the MAC and it will just freeze. The only way to get out of it is to kill power and reboot. It seems to be happening more frequently.
It was suggested that I fix permissions and start in sleep mode. This has helped in the past, and I am going to do it again now. I also recently upgraded to 10.6.8, and after that the crashes were fewer, but now they are increasing again.
I am including a log of the recent crash a few minutes ago.

Okay thanks, but I am a newbie who is not a very tech kind of a person. The only periphals I have are a kodak camera dock, a Canon 310 copier/fax/scanner and a pair of altec speakers. How do I determine if they all have drivers for my MAC? They all seem to work okay, if that is a sign, though the Kodak camera Dock is a bit slow. How also do I determine if they are Apple energy compatible? With each of these peripherals, do I simply disconnect them from my MAC one at a time to see if there improvement?

Screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touching trackpad.

The screen on my Mac Book Pro goes out randomly when I touch my trackpad. Every time the screen shuts off, I have to restart my computer so the screen will turn on again and it's driving me nuts.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and a solution?

You can blank the monitor using those keys, that's likely what you did, it's a feature.

MacBook Pro goes out of sleep when unplugging the the power cord

When my MacBook Pro 13'' is in sleep-mode with the lid down and with the power cord plugged in,
if you the unplug the power cord the computer goes out of sleep-mode.
The same when it is in sleep-mode without the power cord, it goes out of sleep
when the cord is replugged in, although the lid is still down.
Anyone who have had the same problem?

I'm having the same issue! I took it to the Apple store, they tested it all out and none of the techs were able to fix it or heard of the issue before.
They told me to reinstall OSx which I did and same issue.

TS2551 Iphoto freezes when going in preferences

since one day my Iphoto 09 freezes when going in preferences. Can anyone help?

Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then it's your current library that's the culprit.
If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

E9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode

My new HP Elite e9220y hangs when coming out of sleep mode- When I 'touch a key' or move mouse, power switch on computer turns from yellow to blue, but monitor remains black. Have to force off, and restart. Adjusted power management to 'never' sleep but I was hoping for a more elegant solution.

Southmike, I'm glad I could help you out. When I tried using the settings you stated, it didn't help me resume from standby. However, I did finally get standby to work by first resetting the BIOS to default, and then setting the Power Management to:
ACPI Standby: S3
Call VGA BIOS (no idea what this is): Enable
USB Wakeup: Enable
Power Management/APM: Disable
And, I also disabled a few other things I dont use like onboard Audio and RAID and voila, now WinXP can go into standby and resume from it piece of cake.

My mac keeps freezing when turned on from Sleep

Hello,
I bought in iMac last Summer. About a couple weeks in, I started having issues with my iMac freezing when I would turn it on from Sleep mode. This would not happen every time but instead, intermittently. It also will manifest itself in different ways: programs will freeze one at a time until all programs are frozen I just have spinning wheel, sometimes it will freeze and shut itself down, sometimes it will go to a grey screen, etc. This has made it an extremely hard issue to reproduce at the drop of a hat. The main reason this alarms is that I have a 4-year old Macbook that still works incredibly well, despite being slowerThroughout the past months, I have done just about everything I can think of (and was told to do by Apple support) to resolve this issue.
I have:
Reset the SMC and PRAM
Tried booting in Safe Mode
Deleted the EnergySaverPreference .plist file
Spent hours on the phone/text with various Apple technicians troubleshooting the issues.
Twice done a clean wipe and re-installed OSX. I had this problem with both Yosemite and Mavericks. I have made sure to never restore my Time Machine back ups but instead, bring isolated files in one by one and no "System Files" – just songs, music, documents, and applications.
Twice taken it in to the Apple Store to be repaired and nothing has been done to resolve the problem. I just got it back and within two days, it froze again in the same manner as before.
My technical specs are: iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2013,) 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB 1600 MHz DDR Ram, running OSX Yosemite 10.10.2.
I feel like I am really beginning to run out of options. I feel like I can not trust this machine to do daily tasks or the large projects for which I bought it. I do not have AppleCare but obviously this feels like a pre-existing software or hardware issue and I'm still under warranty. Apple has implied that there would be no way for me to receive any money back and the likelihood of getting a device replacement is very low. I don't have a car so taking my iMac via taxi or lugging it around via public transportation is both very inconvenient and a bit pricey for me. Any advice, technical, for customer-relations, or otherwise?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
