Macbook Finder Troubled after "Sleeping"

It seems that after I wake my computer from sleep, The system wakes and I first noticed that my Wallpaper is gone and second that I cannot use anything, no folders open, the hard drive neither. System does respond to the commands (command-n, etc).
After I restart, then everything reverts to normal: the wallpaper, the folders open on double-click. Etc.

That's weird...

Retina Macbook Pro Freezes after sleeping...

Hello, I just purchased a brand new macbook pro retina (13inch) base model. Its been really annoying to have to force shut down the computer almost everytime it has been asleep for a while and I open the computer to type in my password. Everything is up to date and I have no idea what is causing this. I wouold love to find out if there is anything I can do before I return my Retina Macbook Pro. Anyone's help would be super awesome. Thank you!

Hi,
I have a late 2012 13 inch Retina and have exactly the same problem since the last EFI V1.1 update. This update is supposed to enhance performances during sleep, but now the MacBook is hotter in sleep than in wake!
Before the update, there where no sleep problem, but now
Hop Apple's guy will see this post, if not I’ll call support next week.
Regards.

Macbook Speakers Rustling After Sleep

After waking my MacBook from sleep, as the first sound is played, there is a rustling/static sort of noise over the top for a couple of seconds. Is this normal? Should I take it back to be fixed?

It's better to be safe than sorry. I suggest you take it in. I think it's the hard disk.

NAS Finder issue after sleep

Hi,
Something strange has started happening with both my NAS boxes (Drobo/Synology). When I boot my iMac both devices are available in the finder, and clicking on them will show the relevant shares. For some reason when my Mac goes to sleep and then wakes up the NAS names in the finder have changed to lower case, when you select them I get a connection error.
The only thing I can do to fix it, is re-boot the Mac. Anyone have any ideas why this should be happening. I have recently switched my router from a netgear one to a BT Home Hub, so I'm suspecting that's the issue, but I'm not sure why?

Ciao Von Stripes,
I've just found the solution:
Open - System Preferences, then open - Spotlight
There is a list of categories.
Find - Files on the list, then click, drag and drop to the position number 1 and "voilá"
I hope it works for you too...

Macbook pro freezes after sleep, after 6 months of not having that problem

Hello,
I'm really frustated with my macbook pro. Like the tittle says, my computer freezes after waking up and the only thing to do is use the On/Off button. It is a macbook pro '13 2010.
This problem first happened around 6 months ago. Around Feb '11, i experienced the same issue. First thing i noticed was that the wifi suddenly stopped working. To try to fix it, I turned airport off and then couldn't turn it back on and had to restart my machine. Then when closing the lid and then opening it again, my computer would work for about 5 min and then freeze. Nothing worked and I had to shut it down using the power button. Then the problem got worse because the computer started freezing randomly. I know it wasn't an application problem because it happened using different apps. I took my computer to an authorized apple service provider and they told me the harddrive had some bad sectors i think, and they replaced the harddrive because I was still under earranty at the time.
Now, Sept '11, the problem came back. First the airport problem happened and now my computer freezes when waking up, the exact same thing that happened 6 months ago. I went to disk utility and repaired disk permisions and still no solution. My warranty expired last month so calling apple won't be of any help. I installed lion the day it came out and was working without any problems until now, so I don't think lion is the problem.
Has anybody had this same problem with their computer? I don't know what to do or how to tell if my harddrive is causing the problem again.
Thanks

All of the new unibody MBs/MBPs can use (6GB 4X2GB)
But yes you should definitely make sure the RAM is seated correctly and you didn't touch the gold part of the RAM during installation. Though if something was seriously wrong it would have made loud obnoxious sounds while you tried to start up.
Aside from Installation issues, you should reset the PRAM as noted previously. Hold down command-option-p-r at startup until it chimes twice.
OP, looking at Super Talent's website they don't even have 1066MHz chips listed in their DDR3 chips. All I see is a jump from 800MHz (DDR2) to 1333MHz (DDR3).
Either way, I can't imagine you got that great a deal for the RAM that even if it is seemingly the correct RAM you can get better deals in the links I posted in my other post.

Macbook pro freeces after sleep (after update to mountain lion)

hi,
i got a annoying problem (because it kills one of the macbooks biggest features):
since i updated to mountain lion, the macbook won't come back from sleep mode.
so if i reopen it, the apple-logo appears with a loading bar underneath. when reaching the last bar of the loading bar, nothing happens any more - i have to restart.
i already tried this SMC-reset, but this did not help. bluetooth is not turned on (which i figured out could be a problem).
any ideas?
thx, rainer

These machines were never meant to be "laptops." Not since the late 1990s were Macs truly "laptops" in terms of their heat. As long as nothing else is out of the ordinary, and you aren't being asked in four languages to shut down the machine, just keep it on a cool well ventilated surface that is not made out of felt or cotten, and you should be fine. There numerous pads for notebooks that can cool it down with or without fans. Don't get the iCurve, as the rubber on it can lose its adhesiveness.

Macbook pro warm after sleep

Why?
anyone with the same problem?

The fans are right, but the temps are too high - I wonder if it's actually 'sleeping'? The best thing now would be to take the machine to yur local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnosis the machine. It could be anything...
Sorry we couldn't fix it from this end...

MacBook Pro Retina won't wake after after sleeping!

On most occasions after my 13" MacBook Pro Retina has been put to sleep (by closing lid or pressing Power button) overnight it will not wake up again until I have reset the Systems Management Controller. Opening the lid, or Power button or Space bar still leaves a black screen.
My wife's new 11" MacBook Air suffers similar problems even after our local Apple Store reinstalled Mavericks in an attempt to resolve the problem..
Any thoughts on a solution would be gratefully received - thanks.

Mac Pro is not the same as the notebook MacBook Pro

Mail login problems after sleep (lion/MBP)

Sometimes after sleep, Mail will not load passwords from the keychain. I have to force quit Mail and restart it once or twice -- then it functions normally again. So, I know that the passwords are indeed saved and accessible, it's just that Mail doesn't find them after sleep. Any ideas?? I have an active internet connection at these times, as I start up Safari first which loads any page just fine. Thanks in advance for any input! (This problem started with a new MBP & Lion.

Hello,
I share the same problems as you do with my MacBook Pro Late 2011.
For me this has happened only since I have upgraded to Mac OS X 10.8
I must say it has got a little better and does now go online fine after coming out of sleep once I applied the 10.8.2 update the other day.
I wonder if this is a bug relating to the different account types. I have a few email accounts running and like you these are, POP, IMAP and MS Exchange. Maybe if it had one account it's fine and that is the reason why not many people have complained about it?

MacBook Air won't wake up after sleep

I've been reporting sleep problems with my iMac for a while in the past. No-one here would take it seriously (probably hardware, your reports are incidents, no-one else has these problems) so I just went away and I disabled the sleep function of my iMac alltogether, and I won't select the "sleep" button in the login screen anymore, or select "sleep" from the apple menu. No sleep no problem, right?
*Well, I bought a Macbook Air three days ago, and in those three days I have had TWO occasions already where I wanted to wake the Macbook after sleep* (closed lid) and it wouldn't wake up. All I get is the rainbow mouse pointer and the Macbook is unusable unless I reboot it.
Mind you, nothing is connected to the macbook but the power cable, and I find it hard to believe that my Macbook Air would also suffer from 'hardware problems' like my iMac alledgedly is.
In all my time using OSX 10.4 on my 17" PowerPC MacBook pro I have never had any problems, but since switching to Intel Macs with 10.5 I have these "sleep" problems all the time.
What gives, and can I expect Apple to do anything about this problem that I've been having since I bought my iMac more than a year ago, and is now also spoiling my MacBook Air experience?

I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?

MacBook Pro won't sleep in OS X after reboot from Windows (again!)

This problem originally occurred about a year ago and no solution was found then but after a time, it simply went away. Well, now it's back: after a reboot into OS X (10.6.7) from Windows (7 Ultimate 64 Bit), my MacBook Pro refuses to sleep until rebooted a second time, after which it behaves correctly again. The Console log reports the following message: "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". I've disabled Growl and DropBox (possible suspects last time) to no effect, reset the SMC and PRAM, all the usual things. I've tried when connected to mains power or battery, on wired, wireless or no network at all and still the same problem. Sleep behaviour under Windows is correct. Hopefully the problem will eventually cure itself as it did last time but I would like to discover the reason and find out what this "remote login session" could possibly be. To reiterate, this ONLY occurs immediately after rebooting from Windows.

Tried repairing BootCamp in 7, no change, don't think there was anything wrong with it in the first place.
Here is a section of the log after reboot from BootCamp and it says "System Sleep prevented by active remote login session (600 second threshold)". This ONLY happens after a reboot from Bootcamp, after another reboot all goes back to normal. What could the "active remote login session" be?
From log:
21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel PM notification cancel (pid 16, configd)
21/04/2010 23:08:56 kernel IOPMrootDomain: idle cancel

ICloud mail does not reconnect in Mail application on MacBook Pro after disconnecting and reconnecting iPhone or after sleep

iCloud mail does not reconnect in Mail on my MacBook Pro after sleep or after disconnecting and reconnecting my iPhone. This only happens when I use my iPhone as a 3G-modem and not when I am on Wi-Fi. The only solution seems to be to quit the Mail-application and restart it again. Then Mail reconnects to iCloud.

Hi horstp,
Given your description of the issue (works on other Macs), it may be worth trying to set up that account by itself in a new test user on the iMac to see if it can be isolated to a user-specific file. You may find the following article helpful:

After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep

after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
Step 2
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
Step 3
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
Step 4
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
Step 5
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
Step 6
Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
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.
Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 7
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 8
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

Macbook Air 13" Mid2011 won't wake up after sleep again after replacing logic board

I have replaced my logic board a few days ago for the issue of not waking up after sleep.
It was good when I was in store and the same night.
1 day later, when I put the laptop to sleep by clicking the sleep menu item, I cannot wake it up by all means in the next morning!!!!! Again!!!!!
I hooked it with a 22" LCD monitor via thunderbold to HDMI+HDMI to DVI. Will that cause issue?
I'm not sure when this will end, I cannot just keep replacing my logic board!

I have a Macbook Air and it also frequently (6 times out of 10) will not wake from sleep mode, only way to revive it is to hold down power button for 10 secs and force a restart. VERY FRUSTRATING!
I also occasionally use an external Apple 24' Screen (Non LED) and find that the MBAir will often freeze when you plug that into it or unplug it from it.. Perhaps I have a hardware fault on the MB Air? Or will this be fixed in software?

MacBook Air 11 2014 Wifi Issues After Sleep

I know that people have reported their wifi taking a long time to establish a connection after sleep. I thought I would test my brand new MacBook Air 11 2014 by closing the lid for several hours to see what happens. When I opened the lid, the wifi signal was full and not greyed out like other people have reported. However, my internet was dead. Could not connect to websites or find my iTunes library on my other Mac. In order to get it working again I have to switch the wifi off, then back on again. I'm not 100% sure why I am reporting this as it seems to be a big issue with Mavericks. Its just the majority have reported the wifi logo being greyed out and taking a long time to find its corresponding network.
