Macbook Pro freezes when sleeping after Lion install

Anyone else experiencing this? I have the early 2010 Macbook Pro 15".
Has always ran flawlessly. Installed Lion last week and over all Lion is running great on it.
However occasionally when I close the lid and open it later my MPB doesn't wake up. Screen is black. Keyboad lights up.
I tap my keyboard, the track pad. Press the power button quickly. Nothing. I have to do a forced restart.
Initially it was doing it may once a day (maybe once every 9 or 10 times I put it to sleep).
Then it started doing it more frequently.
Yesterday it froze and I did a forced quit and a lot of my prefrence/system files got trashed apparently. Many of my apps stopped working or didn't recognize thier passwords and such or reported missing critical files. I tried various apps to repair the HD/files but it was obvious too much damange had been done. fortunately I had a Time Machine back up 12 hours old so I just did a complete restore (worked great btw).
Everything's working great again except the sleep issue is still there.
I've reset the SMC/PRAM. Still get the sleep/freezes.
I'm concerned more forced restarts is going to trash my system folder again.
Any ideas on what to do next?

So should I just purchase new RAM and install it?

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!!!

MacBook Pro Freezes When Viewing Any Video with new iTunes

I, too, am having problems with the latest iTunes update. My MacBook Pro freezes completely. Total lock-up. This happens when trying to view any video, including video podcasts. I have to hold down the power button for several seconds to get my laptop to turn off. Any other MBP users experiencing this?

Hi there, I have the same problem as you guys, everything was fine before iTunes 7.6 or iTunes 7.6.1 I tried both, before those updates I could watch any video in iTunes without any issue, after that when I play a video, a random video my Macbook freeze totally, sometimes comes alive but 90% of the cases I have to make a hard shutdown (press and hold the power button). I can't believe this kind of bugs in a software that is so mature. Help please!

Macbook Pro Freezes When I Open PS CS6

I have a 15" Macbook pro 2012 edition running OSX Lion. I've been using photoshop since I purchases the laptop in 2012. but as of yesterday, whenever I open photoshop my screen would go glitchy and corrupted and my keyboard becomes irresponsive. The only way I can get my computer to work again is to turn it off and turn it back on by pressing the power button. I am using an AMD Radeon HD 6750M/ Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card. What can I do to make photoshop work again. Without crashing.

PS: that should read SYSTEM PREFERENCES above (not control panel)
though i would be more inclined to suspect your system got corrupted, you added something or your hardware flaked out
Applecare can likely help (and you can also paste in the Adobe Crash Report here in case the engineers can spot something)...

Macbook Pro won't sleep after installing Lion

Hi,
I have just installed Mac OSX Lion last night. Everything worked out fine until I realized that everytime I close the Lid or Press Sleep from the Apple menu, it will not actually Sleep. After I open up the lid, I actually have to press the brightness of the light for the light to comes up. Or else its just going to be blank/black. During I close the lid, I could actually see that the light isn't actually breathing and I wonder how do I fix this? I have tried resetting the PRAM though.

I have the same issue with my MacBook. I have it in a docking station hooked to an external monitor and after upgrading to Lion it will not go to sleep. I can click the sleep button from the Apple menue, from the start menue where the password is entered, or even set up sleep hot corners and nothing works. The only thing that worked for me was to take my computer out of the dock then restart. Once I restarted I was able to put the computer to sleep, but only as long as it was no longer connected to the dock. As soon as Lion recognizes there is an external monitor connected to my MacBook it prevents the sleep function. I understand why they did this, because some people had issues with their computers going to sleep while plugged into an external monitor, but I'm not sure their solution is any better because they have now created several unnecessary steps for many people who use external monitors. I hope Apple addresses this issue and comes up with a patch of some sort to give users the option to have it set up one way or another. I'm also pretty ****** that they got rid of Front Row.

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 At Startup after installing ram

Hey guys, hopefully some one has more knowledge than i do on this
my macbook pro came with 4gb of ram and so i have decided to upgrade to 8gb. the manual and the computer itself sais i can upgrade to 8 gb no problem, (2x4gb) so i rodered the ram, and i have quadruple checked it isz the right ram. upon putting both 4gb modules in, it would start up, and the little loading wheel under the apple logo would spin, n spin, then stop. so, i took the ram out, i put in one old module and one new module, and it works, the computer registers having 6gb of ram. i mizxed up all the modules and both new ram sticks work, and both ram ports work, the computer will show me which is which in the about this mac thing, but it just wont except the full 8gb!!!
i did not touch the gold metal on any ram sticks, i did touch metal to get rid of sttic, i have done the p ram reset, (but i didnt need to do it with the 6gb installed) and i have no idea what else to do :?

... and i have no idea what else to do :?
Return that RAM and buy either the Crucial ram (http://www.crucial.com) for your system or buy from OWC (http://www.macsales.com). I've used Cruical ram in many systems over the years with no issues, and have bought Samsung (factory fill) from OWC with no issues either.

Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep- I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever-- this is driving me crazy- I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
Just to be sure it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end result is
SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
as it does my macbook pro -- they BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
THIS IS SO ANNOYING ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

Late 2011 MacBook Pro can't boot after Yosemite install

After installing Yosemite on this late 2011 MacBook Pro it stops about a third of the way into booting up. It displays a null sign. I can boot into recovery disk, or external HD (I don't have a backup of this system, but can boot from my MacBook Air's clone) if I use option-R or just option at startup. It won't go into Safe Mode. From the ext HD I have reinstalled Yosemite on the MBP, but it still freezes mid-boot. Disk Utility repair permissions, repair HD, zap PRAM, SMC, I've tried all of these (from reading advice here, and PM from Ogelthorpe). I have copied the Etre Report below. Suggestions?

Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. Quit DU when it is finished and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

MacBook Pro won't reboot after Lion update

I have updated my new MacBook Pro (2.3GHz I7 15"), and everything seemed to be working fine. Something was chugging away at the system resources when I was away from my computer and when I came back, I decided to reboot the system.
Now all that will happen is boot up to the Apple logo and spin the little grey circle, for an hour! I don't know what to do, help my computer is useless!
I have booted into the recovery partition and repaired permissions, but it did not help. Anyone have any ideas?

Lion only runs on Intel based systems which have to be core2duo. with a minimum of 2GB RAM.
If these is given on your system, in most cases it comes from running old PPC-Applications which are not longer supported since Lion.
Try to start your MB in "Safe Mode" by holding option key (alt) imediately after first chime and disable / delete this applications.
