MacBook Pro freezes when returning from sleep

I recently started using a Kensington Bluetooth mouse with my MacBook Pro and the computer freezes whenever I return the computer from sleep. Nothing happens when I press Command-Option-Esc. The mouse pointer moves on the screen and the dock magnification works, but I'm not able to open any programs.
I've confirmed that it has something to do with Bluetooth because I now turn off Bluetooth before returning it to sleep and it works fine. I just have to turn on Bluetooth using the trackpad and then I can use the mouse again. I'm thinking that this shouldn't be a requirement though.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do to resolve?
I appreciate any assistance!
Thank you,
Chris
Mouse: Kensington PilotMouse Mini Bluetooth
Bluetooth Version: 3.1965 (3.1965)

For those of you who are interested, I think I've isolated the issue. If I turn off the option to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer from sleep, my computer doesn't freeze when I return from sleep. This is a better option for me than turning off Bluetooth before I put the computer to sleep.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Macbook Pro freezes when disconnected from Internet

I'm so frustrated, I was doing important work and now I'm about to pull my hair out, I need to finish what I was doing but I can't even turn on my computer without it freezing, I literally can't even move the mouse because it freezes right on loading screen every time I restart, here's the story.
I disconnected the Internet for just a few seconds, then the computer froze. So naturally I restarted the computer, but each time I restart, it just freezes, I can't move the mouse, I can't click on anything, it's just frozen. Let me know how frustrating that is that you don't have computer access after working on important files.
I have a 2008 non unibody Macbook pro with OS X mavericks, I knew the computer froze when I turned off wifi, but I correlated that with the app that I was running, since I wasn't running the app this time, I thought I could turn off wifi no problem.
But like I said, now I can't even restart or use it at all. I can't even use safe mode because it freezes there too. I can do the cmd+shift+ctrl+r thing and I can connect to the Internet that way, but there's nothing I can do from there. Once I restart, the Internet connection is still disconnected in the main operating system.

Okay I solved the problem. For anyone who runs across this issue in the future, here is the solution:
Step 1) Turn on the computer and hold CMD + Option + S, this will boot the computer into single user mode
Step 2) Type in "Mount -uw /"
Step 3) Type in "vi /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist"
Step 4) Scroll down until you find this part:
<key>Interface</key>
<dict>
        <key>en1</key>
        <dict>
                <key>AirPort</key>

                        <false/>
                </dict>
        </dict>
</dict>
Step 5: Edit the part where it says:
<key>PowerEnabled</key>
<false/>
and change it to <true/>
Step 6: Hit Ctrl + X, hit Y for Yes, press enter.
Step 7: RESTART AND YOU HAVE YOUR COMPUTER BACK!!
I panicked by the way because as someone said earlier, it's nearly impossible to fix:
You cannot fix this problem with Safe Boot, Repair Permissions, Repair Disk, re-install Mavericks, restore from Time Machine backup, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, or boot into single-user mode. Thus far, the only solution is to boot from a (homemade) Install OS X Mavericks USB, erase the hard drive, perform a clean Mavericks install, re-install your applications, and manually restore your data.
Anyway I'm thankful for Ira Wolf 81 for figuring out, he deserves all the credit for this, I merely repeated his steps and found out he was right. Cheers.

Macbook Pro beeping when waking from sleep

I have just upgraded from Lion to Moutain Lion. Before upgrading I did all the usual disk check and stuff. But currently when my computer wakes up from sleep there is a loud beeping and black screen, I have to force shut down to use the notebook. This have happen twice. Once yesterday morning and today evening. I installed Moutain Lion on 2 Aug.
- Yesterday Morning
Went out left the computer on to download stuff, my notebook is always set to sleep after 1hr after I came back turn on the computer there is loud beeping had to force shut down.
Search the internet found it could be a corrupt sleep image file or ram problem. I did a memory test no problems. Therefore I accepted that it could be a once off corrupted sleep image file as I was not at home when the computer went to sleep.
After I rebooted there is this message that the computer recovered from a system problem.
- Today Evening
Went out decided to use Deep Sleep a dashboard widget for hibernation after I came back home the computer was running and there is the lound beeping. The computer was hot so it have turn on for sometime.
There is no message that the computer recovered from a system problem this time.
But there is this existing issue even with Lion. The computer will sometimes wakeup from its sleep. I have tried clicking sleep from the menu bar and the dashboard widget both have the same problem. I tried tweaking the sleep setting after searching for this issue online. But after sometime the problem returns.
But there is no loud beeping. Just a hot computer running since the lid was close. So the problem was not an issue at first.
I have also notice before upgrading to moutain lion when I was next to the notebook and while it is still sleeping it will sometimes make the usual noise when starting up or booting from sleep. But when I open the lid it is still asleep. I think the noise is from the dvd drive not too sure.
So the issue occured before upgrading and got worst after upgrading. What should I do? I have tried looking at console but don't seem to find a clue what log file shoud I be checking?

Ok I have send a request for a call back request. Hopefully I can speak to someone with a technical background and not ask me to go through a series of standard steps.
The notebook is running great no problems or issues. No kernal panic or problems booting. No traces in the log file of what went wrong. Previously in lion when the computer wakes up from sleep I could check the cause in console but as the computer now goes into beeping when waking up in moutain lion there is no traces at all.

MacBook Pro freezes when waking from deep sleep

When I plug in my Mac to charge overnight and go to unplug it in the morning, it will make the sound it does with the CD drive and then it acts like it's coming on. the first time I use it after I've unplugged it, the screen will come on like normal and show the login screen, when it does I can't move the mouse or type my password in for a minute or two. after about 20 seconds, the screen turns off...however I can turn it back on by clicking the power button but most of the time it still won't let me enter my password or move the mouse around. I'm not sure what the problem is. but it's only been doing this since I've updated to Yosemite.

Try turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" under the advanced section of the Bluetooth System Preferences. Hope this helps.

Freezing when waking from sleep with latest Lion release?

I have had both my IMac and MacBook Pro freeze upon waking from sleep recently. Occurred only after installing latest Lion upgrade. Very frustrating since requires hard reboot ronin case of the MacBook Pro, reinstalling the OS. I have noticed similar complaints by others. Any suggestions for a fix other than waiting for a new release?

I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it

OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep.

Since upgrade to OSX 8.2 new Retina Macbook Pro won't wake from sleep. Tablet lights are on in morning and fans running like crazy, but it requires hard quit and start. Tried with no apps running, no change. It was fine before this last update. Wasn't the recent firmware update supposed to fix this issue? It seems to have started one for me.

I have the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro OS 10.8.4. What happens is: I work on the train, press cmd/alt + eject to put to sleep..pop it in my bag...get home or office... open the lid...and nothing! Battery indicator shows I have plenty of juice but it will not wake up no matter what key I press.
The only difference between use on the train and home/office is the plugging in of peripherals and mains power. It happens sparadicially, perhaps once or twice a week and I always send a 'panic report', so somewhere there will be approx 20 reports of this fault at Apple.

MacBook Pro does not wake from sleep in Lion

A lot of people are reporting that their MBP freezes (which happens to me, too) but this concerns a totally different issue.
About 5-10% of the time, when I return to my MBP after it has initiated sleep, I cannot get the system to respond.
Keyboard should wake the MBP. Power button should wake. Opening the lid should wake. None do.
The system is cold. No fans, to backlight, to nuttin'. All that works is the sleep indicator, which turns on and off when I open and close the lid.
The only way to use the system is to force restart (hold down power, reboot) at which time the system does its 'resume'-thing... as if it ran out of juice and went into hibernate.
How do we fix this? I'm running a clean install of Lion (10.7.1) (same issue with 10.7.0) - installed it fresh after formatting the HDD - so Snow Leopard remnants from upgrades cannot be a problem here.

I began having issues whereby my Macbook Pro would freeze after waking from sleep...whether automatic sleep mode or manually-induced. Got worse by the day, so I looked in this Forum and found that the problem was widespread..
My issue came when I tried to open MS Office Mac (Outlook) or open Firefox. In nearly every instance, the computer (and sometimes the screen) would freeze, sometimes with the little whirling ball remaining on forever. All these forced me to power down with the on-off button, which was distasteful.
After reading all the posts in the Mac forums regarding this issue, I determined that the issue most likely to have caused my problem was Microsoft Silverlight. I recalled that I had recently allowed an update.
I went into every folder I could find, including those related to MS Office, and sent every incidence of Silverlight (including folders) to the trash. Then I shut down and restarted the computer, and ran some tests by putting the unit to sleep and waking after a wait time.
After several tests, I have determined that I am now back in good order, sans Silverlight. I think Silverlight is off the radar for my future!

Macbook Pro not always waking from sleep

The only time I sleep my Macbook Pro is when I close the cover. Before I open it, I make sure that the light on the front is pulsating, indicating it is fully asleep.
Sometimes when I open it is is waking up fine, and other times the screen just stays black and the light on the front remains pulsating. When the screen is black, pressing the power button or shutting the screen and opening it again has no effect - the only thing I can do is hold down the power button for 10 seconds and restart my computer.
This only recently started happening. I'm running 10.5.4, but it started happening with 10.5.3, although I don't think it's system related because it didn't start right after I upgraded to 10.5.3 but some time after, only about 2 weeks ago from today.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated!

if you do a search, you will find other threads related to the sleep issue, and might find some insight there . . .
it is strange, i was having the problem too, where the sleep problem would happen intermittently. after i realized there was a problem i stopped putting my mbp to sleep. but recently i have started to use the sleep mode for my mbp, and have not had this problem again.
have you consulted with apple on your issue?

MacBook Pro won't wake from sleep after installing Snow Leopard

If my MacBook Pro is running while closed with an external display and I unplug it from the display it goes to sleep - as indicated by the white light and the front pulsing. If I then open the MacBook the display remains blank and it is completely unresponsive to any keys or track pad input.
The only thing it responds to at that point is holding the power button down until it powers down and then restarting - loosing all work in progress at that point.
Before installing Snow Leopard the Mac would wake reliably when opened from this state.

I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
My vote is that it's a bug.

Macbook Pro Freezes When USB Plugged In

Just like the title says, my Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 running 10.8.2 freezes for an averge of 15 seconds whenever I plug anything into the USB ports. It varies depending on what is plugged in. Phones, both iPhone and Android make it freeze for about 15 seconds, USB drives are usually just a couple seconds. I dont even know where to begin when trouble shooting this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
I have the same problem with my MacBook Pro. When I plug in any usb device I get a short freeze of the pc for about 5 seconds. During my tests, I noticed that the freezing starts from the first time that i move the touchpad. It means that if I plug the usb device and I move the touchpad after 30 seconds, I get the freazing from that time for 5 seconds. if I continue to move the touchpad while I plug in the usb I don't get any freeze. Moreover, I noticed that if in the meantime that I plug in the usb I move the touchpad without any interruption, I don't get any freezing.
I don't know if the problem could be related to the touchpad or not... Help!!!

Mac Pro restarts when waking from sleep

Hi everyone.
I just got a brand new Mac Pro (2 x 2.66GHz), and had Apple upgrade the RAM to 2GB (4 x 512MB). My first problem is that the computer always restarts when waking from sleep, which is annoying! I have reset the SMC by unplugging the machine for a minite, but the problem persists. I have also tried sleeping the computer with nothing plugged in except the monitor and keyboard/mouse, but I get the same problem. All software/firmware is fully up to date.
I have also just noticed that the System Profiler states that there is only 1GB RAM in the computer, even though I am sure that it recognised 2GB when I got the machine a fortnight ago (I even have a screen shot of 'about this mac' to prove it!). Can anybody help, or do I need to phone Apple support?
Thanks,
Matthew
