Macbook air 13, waking from sleep VERY slowly.

After I open the lid on my MBA the screen awakens nearly instantly, but the mouse cursor does not appear for 5-7 seconds. Then after it finally does appear it remains unresponcive for another 5-10 seconds after that. Some times it can take my computer 30 seconds to fully awaken. I really have no idea how to fix it.
I took it to apple store some time ago, and they replaced the logic board and something called .DS_store started poping up on my desktop and retuns even if i delete it.
But the problem still prisists. Any help would be greatly apprciated.
Thanks!
Specs:
MacBook Air Mid 2011
Processor: 1.7 GHz i5
RAM: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD graphics 3000 W/ 384MB
Storage: 128GB flash storage

I have had this issue a couple of times too and it seems to be when I select sleep from the menu, when I close the lid it seems to work fine. And when I push the power button it's hard to see what's happening becuase on my MacBook Air there are no ligths. So I end up holding the power button and then pushing it again and it seems to restart. My MacBook Air is new, about 2 months, OS X 10.9.

Wakes from sleep very slowly, starting to flicker sometimes, very slow to load websites

wakes from sleep very slowly, screen starting to flicker sometimes, very slow to load. i use microsoft email and just did an update. did this affect my system? My msn mail is awkward..... today, beeping sounds starting at random. ???

i did a restore off the Toshiba discs i had made, and again, it ran fine in the beginning, then all of sudden a month or two, and it started being slow again.
I expect something you installed or updated caused the trouble. Best strategy is to identify the culprit.
I would restore from the Toshiba discs again. Then carefully add things one-at-a-time, rebooting, and checking things out after each.
Be sure you create a restore point prior to adding hardware or installing software. Microsoft programs like Windows Update will automatically make one before installing anything.

Macbook pro not waking from sleep

HELP! My macbook pro (2010) is not consistently waking from sleep. I will put it on sleep, then when I open the screen, it will not wake up. I have to press the power button to completely turn it off, then press it again to wake it up. An error message shows saying that it had not been properly shut down. Any ideas on how to correct this problem?

Hello alicool,
The article linked below provides some useful suggestions that can help resolve issues with your Mac waking.

Macbook Pro repeatedly waking from sleep with the clamshell closed

This is the second of two Macbook Pros that have inexplicably begun waking themselves from sleep with the clamshell closed. This continues until I either reboot, or unplug the power cord. Yes, that's right, unplugging the power cord stops the behavior EVERY TIME. The system log shows the reason for waking up as being: EHC1, EHC2 (USB Ports), however there is nothing plugged into the computer.
The first computer was replaced under warranty by Apple when they couldn't diagnose or fix the problem. This computer, however, is out of warranty. Any suggestions outside of the obvious (reinstall system software, repair permissions, check power management settings, etc) would be helpful.

Thank you for the very comprehensive list of possibilities. There are no wake events scheduled and even if there were, the fact that it happens randomly rules that possibility out. I originally thought (when it started to happen with my first Macbook Pro) that it had something to do with the power manager due to my recent installation of Alarm Clock Pro, which requires the user to wake the computer before the alarm goes off. However, after a complete wipe and fresh install of the OS (with no apps installed), it continued to wake itself up.
I greatly appreciate you clueing me in on the fact that the USB ports are not powered while asleep when the power cord is unattached. I did not know this and even the Applecare folks failed to mention it when they were troubleshooting it.
I don't use Bluetooth and always leave it off. However, I had heard that this was a symptom of Bluetooth becoming unavailable so I checked when this started happening and my Bluetooth is unaffected (I even turned it on and paired something to be sure).
I never plug a printer into the USB ports as I always use Bonjour with a printer plugged into Airport.
Thanks again for your suggestions. I will read those threads again. perhaps I missed something the first time.
-Tom
Edit: I have never seen that second thread you linked! I am very hopeful that it may solve my problem. I will post back here after I give it a try.
Again, thank you.

MacBook Pro keeps waking from sleep on its own

My MacBook Pro keeps waking itself from sleep for no reason.
I had the battery changed for free by Apple (apparently it's one symptom of a problem with the original battery) but it hasn't abated. (Occasionally it won't wake up from sleep too, but that's rare and so not much of a problem). The main issue is its inability to stay asleep.
Anyone else had this? I can't find any advice anywhere else and the Genius Bar at the only store I can get to is always fully-booked.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi craigie, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
In addition to Michael's ideas, there have been some weird sleep issues caused by a System Preference, and although your issue doesn't sound the same, if you run on AirPort (and not Ethernet) I'd check it out anyway:
-Open System Preferences.
-Open Network.
-Click on Built-in Ethernet (note what it says underneath it: Not Connected or Inactive; Inactive is what seems to have caused the majority of other issues).
-Click the - button at the bottom of the window to delete the original Ethernet pref.
-Click Apply.
-Click the + button.
-For Interface, select Ethernet.
-For Service Name, enter Built-in Ethernet.
-Click on Create.
-Make sure your Location is set to Automatic or AirPort (or whatever you normally have it set to).
-Click on Apply and close Preferences.

New Macbook Air keeps restarting from Sleep.

Hi all,
Hope you can help.
In the last few days my laptop has crashed from sleep showing the message: "your mac has restarted because of a problem".
I am concerned that this is something to do with the build.
The error report seems to refer to the Kernel Trap panic. Can someone please help decipher the following error message before I concede and take it to Apple:

Hello robsone88,
It sounds like you are getting this Kernel Panic when your computer goes to sleep. I recommend startign by performing a Disk Verification, and repair with the following article:
Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836
Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
If the issue persists, I would next take a look at the following article to help you troubleshoot kernel panics, and unexpected restarts named:
OS X: When your computer spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem."

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

MacBook Crashing after waking from sleep w/ new BT keyboard

After waking my computer from sleep by opening the lid, as soon as I begin to type, my screen goes gray and crashes. This consistently happens.
Anyone else with this problem?

I have a strange set of circumstances. First my wireless mighty mouse cursor began skipping. After several restarts, it stopped doing that. However, my apple bluetooth keyboard stopped working and has not worked since.
Even more strange... the bluetooth symbol in the finder is grayed out, although the mouse is connected and works just fine! The bluetooth controls shows that it has "found" the keyboard but cannot connect to it. I have tried everything listed in these forums and nothing works. According to my computer, there is no active bluetooth connection even though the bluetooth mouse works.
Any other ideas? This is really frustrating.

Macbook freezing after waking from sleep

My 4 GB RAM macbook freezes for 30 seconds after I wake it from sleep mode. Sometimes it is unresponsive and sometimes the beachball comes up. I have 200 gigs of free space and no login items. The bluetooth wake is also turned off. What is the problem?

I have noticed similar behaviour. I think it depends on the network activity being carried out when I closed the lid, and maybe it has to wait for something to time out. I don't really know, I'm just guessing.
I have noticed that when it happens, I have to close the lid and watch the light on the front. This will be solidly lit. When it starts "breathing" I can open my MacBook again and it will work ok.

Macbook crashing when waking from sleep

I have 10.6.8 on a Macbook. Whenever I wake it from sleep, there is a chance where it will completely crash. I open it up, a quick flash of light, and then dead. I've lost notes and papers due to this and would love to know what's going on.

Macbook Pro Immediatly Waking From Sleep

Brand new MB Pro. (The first one lasted two weeks and was exhcanged b/c of a bad inverter causing the screen to flicker). After the first week with this one I noticed that it was waking itself up immediatly after sleeping. It does not matter how I put it to sleep: lid closed, power button or apple menu. The power light remains solid for few seconds (I assume saving info for the safe sleep) and then it will dim once then immediatly turn back on. I took it to the genius bar last week and on the way it somehow fixed itself as the problem refused to happen there. Tonight the problem is back and I am losing faith in it. This problem makes the computer hardly portable as it forces me to shut it down whenever I want to move it somewhere.
-I made a new user account and it had the same problem their
-Reset the PRAM
-Reset the SMC
-Trashed the power prefs file
Here is what I get from the terminal when using the command
ioreg -l | grep Reason
| | "Wake Reason" = <0000000000000000>
I have no devices attached. I have disable bluetooth and the airport. There are no items login items showing and I quit as many apps as I could from the activity monitor that I could.
Any help is much appreciated!

I've got the same issue as you, except I've already disabled Safe Sleep, so that's not what's causing it. As well, nothing is connected, but Airport is active and Firefox is open. It seems to be getting more frequent, as it was 1 in 10 a few weeks ago, but now it's more like 1 in 3. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Late 2008 Macbook Pro not waking from sleep

I just go a new MacBook Pro, and occasionally (maybe once a day) after I shut the computer to put it in sleep mode, and walk around with it, It refuses to wake when I open the lid. I have disabled the "put hard disk to sleep" and using the smartsleep preference pain, have put the computer in "sleep only," but the problem still occurs. Whenever this happens, I have to restart my computer with the restart button.

Alex, do you have your preferences set to require a password after sleep or screensaver? Sometimes I have had issues with this dialog window not popping up. Also does the status light on the MBP glow constantly or fade in and out when you lift the lid up? If it is lit constantly and nothing is displayed that means the computer is on...what I do is just close the lid again and then wait for the light to fade in/out and re open, then it usually works.

Macbook Air 2014 Black Screen w cursor after waking from sleep.

I just purchased a brand new macbook air this past week. I noticed within the first day of using that if my machine went into sleep mode, and I hit a key to take it out of sleep mode, it would go to a black screen with my cursor for about 30 seconds.
It does not do it every time but enough that it is annoying. I am coming from a mid 2011 mac air that did not have any issues. (only replaced for all day battery)
Do you think this a hardware or software issue? If i swap this mac out do you think I will just encounter the same thing?
I have read numerous posts regarding waking from sleep issues but they all seem to be affecting MacBooks purchased between 2012 and 2013.
Any help would be much appreciated.

UPDATE:
I called apple tech support and after talking a bit decided best course of action was to replace the macbook air as I was inside my 14 day buyers remorse.
I came home and hoped all was well when this one began doing the same thing. I made an appt with the genius bar to dive further in to this and we did a complete wipe on the computer and reinstalled the OS. The "genius" said I'm probably bringing something over from my previous mac air. (even though it never had this issue).
So after completely reinstalling the OS and setting up my macbook as new I pretty much lost all my settings and what not accumulated after 3 years with my previous mac. They did use Time Machine to at least bring my iPhoto library over and iTunes music.
It has been exactly one day since this was completed and the computer is doing the exact same thing. ***!!!

Macbook Pro Retina 2013 not waking from sleep

Hi all,
My brand new 15" Retina Macbook Pro (late 2013) is not waking from sleep. It doesn't occur after a short sleep (as I can wake it as normal by moving my mouse), but if the sleep is for some extended duration (not exactly sure, but at least within a couple of hours) then the only way to wake it is to use the power button.
I've tried an SMC reset to no avail -- the problem still occurs.
It's plugged into a power adapter and this is a screenshot of the settings page.
This is a very annoying issue. I'm hoping someone can help?
Thanks!
Adam

I managed to narrow down and reproduce the issue:
It occurs when the 'turn display off after' time lapses. Eg, if I change the setting to 1 minute and wait for the display to turn off, the computer will *not* wake up without pressing the power button.
Very strange. Hoping someone can provide some insight!
Thanks,
Adam

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion issues after waking from sleep.

Macbook Retina with Mountain Lion has the spinning beach ball of death after waking from sleep a few times. Anyone else seeing this? A fresh boot is very quick, but waking from sleep lags at times. Then after a few times the spinning beachball of death appears and nothing is responsive making me reboot the machine.

I've been suffering from this too, and am currently trying this:

Seems to be tied to this 'Power Nap' feature. I tuned it for 12 hours instead of 24.

Mid 2009 17" MacBook Pro battery shutdown issue when waking from sleep.

My unibody 17" MacBook Pro occasionally shuts down on waking from sleep when it isn't plugged in.
When I open the lid to wake it I can hear the hard drive and fans starting to spool, and then the next second it's off and silent. The laptop doesn't mind being turned on again after it does this and might go a week without doing it again, equally it might do it next time I try and wake it from sleep. It does this regardless of battery charge level.
coconutBattery says the battery still has 86% of its designed capacity, and I haven't noticed anything else untoward regarding battery charging or performance when in use.
So my question is two fold:
1) Does it sound like the battery's internal processor is malfunctioning, or could it be something else?
2) If it is the battery's internal processor, will replacing the battery replace the processor, or are they fitted separately (in defference to the 'internal' part of its name)?
Cheers,
James
nb. just in case it makes any difference, the laptop is a 17" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4Gb Ram running OSX 10.7.3

I have had issues when i press the space bar from sleep, sometimes it wakes but others i'm forced to power it on with the power button.
Is this similar to anything you've experianced?
Its so inconsistantly these days, but i'm also connected to an external screen.

Macbook air 13, waking from sleep VERY slowly.
