MacBook Pro (2010) hanging for 30 seconds after sleep

I have a 13" MacBook Pro (2010), which I've owned since June. When I got it, I installed the 640GB Samsung HDD that I had in my previous 15" MacBook Pro (I also reinstalled OS X on the drive and restored my data from a backup)
The problem is that when I open the lid and wake it from sleep, the display turns on and shows the desktop, but the computer is unresponsive for about 30 seconds. That is, the mouse cursor isn't there and no keyboard inputs are recognised. After 30 seconds or so, the mouse cursor appears and it's back to normal again.
I've tried making a new user account and the problem remains with that, and I've also installed 10.6 again and restored my data, and I still have the problem.
Could it be anything to do with the 640GB HDD, even though it worked absolutely fine with my 15" MBP? Or is there anything else I can try?
Many thanks!

You can try resetting and PRAM

I would not suspect this will help, but easy enough to do, and with any luck...
What about a Safe Boot, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
does the problem persist? Then Reboot?

    my macbook pro doesn't wake up after sleep

    I'm having the same issue. I've had my logic board replaced twice now, which I did last week and then Monday I had to take it to a Genius Bar again because my hard drive cable was malfunctioning. I don't know why it's happening but I'm really starting to get frustrated with my machine. I bought my MacBook Pro brand new last year in September and ever since I've dropped it in November, it's been really glitchy. After I dropped it, I had to replace my Logic board, graphics card, and hard drive and they covered it.

  • MacBook Pro 2010 crashing / kernal panic after Mavericks update

    After we  updated our MacBook Pro (late 2010) to mavericks, it has a kernal panic crash not just on wake/sleep, but also when a program is opened (usually 2 or 3rd program).
    it happens when plugged in and when unplugged. I have tried a few of the "fixes" but nothing has helped. Doesn't seem to be the power issues some have sugested. Also, doesn't appear to be a HP issues others have also had.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    15” MBP Mid 2010 models have been recalled for GPU issues.  See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5681.
    Official Apple statement: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088
    Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of this Knowledge Base article and go to an Apple store or Apple Authorizes Service Provider with your machine and the documentation.
    Genius reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ .
    or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country
    If it has been three years since your date of purchase then you are past the date covered by the recall but sometimes they honor it anyway.

  • MacBook Pro loses connection to Internet after sleep using Airport Time Capsule

    I recently upgraded to Mavricks and then added a new Airport Time Capsule, and now I my MBP will not connect to the wireless LAN after waking up from sleep mode.  My MBP worked great for over a year with an non-Apple router, so I am thinking that there is a new Apple computer-to-Apple Router issue going on. Any thoughts, suggestions?
    I read all the threads and have followed all the simple advice, such as making sure the Airport is at the top of the network priority list, etc, to no avail.  I end up having to reboot my MBP to get reconnected, which is super frustrating.

    Hello ghesser,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro after setting up your Time Capsule.  I would be concerned about this too.
    I recommed reviewing the full article and specifically the section labeled, "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly" in the following article to resolve an issue like the one you described:
    Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Community.
    Best,

  • My MacBook Pro shuts down within seconds after starting with a Gray Screen and Apple Logo, a bar comes at the bottom.

    My MacBook Pro starts with a Gray Screen and Apple Logo, a bar comes at the bottom, but after few seconds the machine shuts down. This was bought approx 1 year back. Please help!!

    jayanta.ray,
    which model MacBook Pro do you have (did you buy it new?), and which version of OS X is installed on it?

  • My MacBook Pro is hanging for very long periods of time whenever I try to perform any functions.

    Hello Collective Wisdom,
    I have a MacBook Pro from mid-2009 and have recently experienced some problems. There's an above-average bootup time, and whenever I try to perform any functions (say, open a browser window, go into Finder, launch an app, try to type a URL, search for anything), the Spinning Ball of Death comes up for about 5-7 minutes before the function resolves.
    I've been able to get into Disk Utility and it suggested I use Command + R at the bootup screen to do a HD Repair, which I did. But the problem is still occuring.
    What do I Do?

    The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • LabVIEW ofter hangs for seconds after save, run command, creating variables, etc.

    Dear users,
    my LabVIEW installation often hangs after common commands such as Save, Run, after creating variables (the label is draw directly, then after few seconds the variable and the wire is created), etc.
    LabVIEW 14.01f (32bit)
    Windows 7 64bit
    The same version of LabVIEW on Windows 7 on other computers runs smoothly. Only that particular super-new and high-performance Lenovo laptop drives everybody in the team crazy.
    Any suggestions, what should I check, please?

    Other reasons for such delays can be network drives that are currently disconnected or point to resources not currently available on the network. Or installed printers pointing to printers not currently available. And last but not least system drives that are trashed with large amounts of files in important system locations.
    While the first reasons can be fixed by removing such drives and printers altogheter, the last point only really is fixable by a clean reinstallation of Windows. And no it's not just LabVIEW that usually gets affacted but just about any application when accessing the file system, for instance very noticable when opening the file select dialog in any application.

  • Macbk pro 2010 won't wake after sleep, must restart twice to get it working

    If I close the macbook or leave it open for too long the screen goes black and I must restart it via the power button 2 times before it starts up normally.  On the first restart, the computer shuts down but when starting back up the screen stays asleep, so must shut down again.  OS X 10.9.5, tried running apple hardware test (AHT) but couldn't get the icon to show up.  No idea what to do...

    OK, 10.6.7 update did NOT fix the issue.
    So before putting mbp to sleep last night, I did a SMC reset procedure.
    This morning when it woke up, it detected the cable immediately.
    Thanks leroydouglas.

  • MacBook Pro Retina Keyboard not responding after Sleep

    Hi,
    I am having an issue that I have noticed in Mountain Lion. When I put my MBPr to sleep, either via Apple->Sleep or by Closing the lid (maybe sleep for 5-10 min or more); the Keyboard will not respond at all and cannot enter the Password to get back in.
    I have tried to remove the lock screen in order to avoid that but the same things happens for any App that I try to use and requires keyboard. The Apple Magic Mouse works fine, and I have no external keyboard connected.
    I have taken it to the Store and the ML was re-installed...still same issue
    Anyone had this happen and able to determine the cause?

    Just some more info regarding this:
    Pressing a key on the usb key board will bring up the log in screen and the mouse works (plugged into the keyboard) but text input from the keyboard doesn't work.

  • New macbook pro 17, gets blue screen after sleeping

    Had it for 1 or two months and haven't had any problems. Was just using it and closed it to sleep, and reopened it and it was stuck on the blue screen.
    Safe mode won't work. Resetting the PRAM won't work.
    What the heck?

    Hi,
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Hopefully something will get your Mac running again.

  • MacBook Pro 2010 hangs when booting from Windows install disk

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp. I've used Bootcamp before so familiar I'm with how it should work. I have a USB CD drive, which I've used on other machines OK, and an official Windows Install Disk.
    After Bootcamp finishes copying over all it's drivers etc to my external USB drive, it reboots. However, whenever I try to boot from a disk it always just hangs on the Apple logo (no spinning cog/wheel). This happens whenever the Bootcamp installer performs a reboot and/or when I hold down ALT on startup and select the boot CD.
    I can still boot in to mac partition. Could this be a problem with the EFI? Any help with identifying this problem or how get the information to fix this problem would be much appreciated
    Thanks.

    Try resetting PRAM…

  • Why does the macbook pro restart in few seconds after I select "shut down?"

    When I select shut down, the computer goes off and comes on again in a few seconds.  It doesn't come on quickly like it does when I select restart.  It's like a ghost is in there.

    Unplug all the USB devices you don't need or put a hub with its own power supply between the computer and them.

  • New Retina MacBook Pro does not find WiFi after booting

    My Retina MacBook Pro keeps looking for WiFis after it has booted, but does not find any.
    I have to explicitly turn WiFi off and on again after booting to get it working.
    When I put the MacBook to sleep and wake it, the problem does not occur.
    Any hints what could be the problem?

    Not sure if this will help, but you can go into System Preferences > Network and, if you haven't already, create a new location (mine is called "home"), then from this location remove all connection methods from the left column except Wi-Fi. Also, click on "Advanced" and remove anything from the Preferred Networks list that you aren't using. Then click on "OK" and "Apply".
