MacBook sleeps right after resuming from disc

Hi All,
My MacBook Pro (late 2012 MBP 13" i7) has been acting up since I got it but it's finally annoyed me enough to post a question to the forum. The problem is as follows:
Mac goes into safe sleep mode
Battery runs out of power
I connect the external power supply and leave it a minute or two
When the Mac resumes it has to load the hibernation file from disc
There is a long pause after the loading bar fills
The Mac then goes straight into sleep mode
Once the hard disc has spun down I can press any key to restart the computer. Although the memory is still powered, and so can resume immediately, the Mac still takes one to two minutes to become responsive enough to let me type in my password to get back to the desktop.
Why I got my MacBook Pro I migrated all my data, programs and settings from my old MacBook. I had a suspicion that I may have brought across an incompatible OS extension or something but I've not been able to find any likely suspects.
Any help/advice/pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Dave

Curious - Is this when the adapter is plugged in or only when it's on battery? Either way, you might take a look at resetting the SMC (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964?viewlocale=en_US)

  • MacBook sleeps shortly after waking from sleep

    My fully charged MacBook has an issue. Shortly after it wakes from sleep it goes back to sleep, even though it's being used. I can hear the HD wind down and the going to sleep process looks and sounds the same as when it's battery runs out and it shuts down. But it wakes up after a few seconds of hitting keys or clicking the trackpad.
    It used to do this occasionally, now it's pretty regular.
    Haven't seen this in any other messages, any suggestions?

  • Update to 10.6.8 - system hang (mouse issue) after resume from sleep

    I am on older
    MacBook Pro3.1
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    2.6GHz
    Run on 10.6.8 almost flawelessly. Shortly after upgrade to 10.6.8 system started to hang periodically after resuming from sleep. Symptoms are that it stops responding to mouse (be it touch pad or USB mouse). Keyboard seems to be ok but system doesn't seem to be fully functional. I am able to ssh from the other computer and 'shutdown -r now' after reboot system seem to be ok until next resume from sleep. What interesting though is that this problem newer manifests then I am using external monitor.

    Found problem. It was due to magic mouse that I left on. I carry this mouse in the laptop bag but rarely use it. Last time I used it (around the same time I install the update) I left it on in the bag. It was apparently disconnecting/connecting on its own and by some reason sometimes was breaking touch pad and other usb mouse connected to laptop, as soon as I switched magic mouse off broblem was fixed

  • Wrong resolution after resuming from sleep

    I started having this weird problem some time ago, it's important to note that I haven't had this problem right after installing Arch.
    After waking my laptop from sleep I get a brief black screen with "ACPI: unable to dock" error message and then the desktop shows up but with a resolution of 1333x750 which oddly enough does not match any mode reported by xrandr, and I can't manually switch to any other resolution untill I either log off and logon or reboot the laptop.

    No. Powering off and on again didn't work. My drive is a Seagate 750GB internal SATA drive in a Vantec NexStar-3 external enclosure. I don't think it is a driver issue. After the device removal error it won't mount on my PC or my Mac via FireWire or USB.
    What I need to know is if there is some way to connect to the drive and make it mount with other software, using some kind of keystroke during startup, or maybe through terminal or something. I can't even try to repair the drive because it won't show up in disk utility.

  • My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep

    Hello
    My Mountain Lion mac crashes after resuming from sleep every time I use it
    It happens every time the mac resumes from sleep and it started like a week ago
    I remember installing the new updates for flash? and xquartz and nothing else.
    I have also had microsoft word installed on my mac for about 1 weeks before this problem started so might be related to that
    Please share with me any tips on how to fix this because I am really annoyed of losing stuff after each time my mac resumes from sleep

    I have an iMac bought may -11, and it worked fine with Snow Leopard.
    About a week ago I bought and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2. Everything went fine, and all software worked ok. iPhoto had some problems, but after installing update the system prompted to do, it has worked ok.
    The propblem occurs now and then, when computer is waked up from sleep. The Desktop occurs, but no software starts, not even System Tools untlil rebooting the computer. Of course, I can not reboot the computer from "Apple menu", but holding the power button down.
    This is very embarassing! OsX Mountain Lion has turned out to be a very big disappointment. I installed id because of iCloud (i have a new iPad, too with iOs 6 installed).
    Can anyone help me? Is there any other way to solve the problem than re-installing good old Snow Leopard?
    I would not like to do that, I bought Mac because I was bored in re-installing and recovering!
    Thank you

  • Slow LAN Networking Speeds after Resuming from Sleep

    I use my mac mini as a HTPC running Plex. I have it connected to my Windows media server with 802.11n. Works fine but sometimes after resuming from sleep the network speed drops off to an unacceptable level (from 72 Mb/sec to 5 Mb/sec). Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. Switching to G doesn't help. Only restarting the mini restores the connection to full speed.
    None of my Windows clients on the same network have any troubles.
    Thoughts?

    Looks like Plex might be causing the problem. I always have plex running and it appears as though if Plex makes a request for a file on the share before OS X is done re-mounting it after sleep, it kills the whole process.
    Shouldn't the OS be robust enough to handle a situation like this?

  • USB ports don't work after resuming from standby with Windows 8 on X230 tablet

    I have just done a clean install of Windows 8 on my X230 tablet.  Before installing Windows 8 I installed the most recent BIOS for this machine (version 2.50).  After installing Windows 8 I installed System Update from the Lenovo Website and downloaded all the recommended drivers and other files.  I've also installed all the latest Windows 8 updates.
    Here are the symptoms of my problem: After resuming from standby/sleep mode, my USB ports do not work.  My computer has two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 ports.  All exhibit the same behavior.  After resuming from standby mode I have tried inserting both my mouse and a USB thumbdrive, but neither are recognized.  After restarting Windows, the USB ports work again... until I resume from standby mode again.
    I hope there is a solution to this issue.  It is very frustrating.

    Thanks for the suggestion about tweaking the "Allow this computer to turn off this device" feature.  I un-checked that box for every entry I could find under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" in the Devide Manager.  Unfortunately, the same symptoms of my problem persisted.
    I went back and looked at the README file associated with the BIOS 2.50 download on Lenvo's support site.  At the bottom of the file it gives a "Summary of Changes".  Under version 2.03 of the BIOS (the version just before version 2.50), it says:
    - (Fix) Fixed an issue where USB device might not detected when system resume from sleep mode.
    This indicates that Lenovo support was already aware of such issues.  The problem was intended to be fixed in version 2.03 of the BIOS.  However, the issue persists on my machine, even with the latest BIOS.
    Hopefully someone from Lenovo can comment here.

  • No sound in Flash after resuming from suspend

    After I resume from a suspend or sleep there is no sound in Flash and there is no networking.
    The only way is to restart my browser to reestablish the sound.
    Is there a solution for this problem?
    Thanks.

    This does not happen with Firefox in Ubuntu, as an example. So something must be wrong somewhere.
    I can confirm this happens to me in Arch with Firefox 4.0b7 and Chromium 7.0.517.44. I noticed that after resuming from suspend, not only sound (in Flash) is missing, but Flash is behaving weirdly (YouTube video plays much faster) and CPU usage goes crazy without doing any particular action.

  • Firefox hangs after resume from hibernation

    The problem is basically exactly like described here, only the solution presented there does not actually work for me:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/59062/a-script-on-this-page-may-be-busy-or-it-may-have-stopped-responding-everytime
    What happens is that every time I hibernate my laptop (with Windows 7 Pro, 64bit), when I resume from hibernation, FF is completely unresponsive (hangs) for minutes. Easily around 5 minutes. Eventually a dialog box pops up with the following:
    "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
    And the two buttons are: "stop script" or "continue". After I click "stop script" the unresponsiveness finally goes away, and FF starts working normally again.
    I think possibly even clicking "continue" also makes it go back to normal, but I'm not sure anymore since I have recently just switched to sleep mode out of frustration in order to not deal with it anymore, and I don't remember exactly if I get the same result from clicking either option.
    This is extremely frustrating.
    Someone else reported an extremely similar symptom here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935110?esab=a&as=aaq
    It might even be the exact same symptom. Maybe that person simply never waited long enough for the dialog box to appear, but otherwise the unusability symptoms are the same.

    Ok so I finally got around to testing this thoroughly, as you suggested. I used FF in SafeMode for about 2 days now, and went through at least half a dozen hibernation/resume cycles. Probably closer to 10. I can conclude that using safe mode (aka restarting with all add-ons disabled) did not solve it at all. The issue remains.
    As always, simply resetting FF (either with enabled or disabled addons) seems to make this problem less severe, if not almost go away completely. But after a few hibernate/resume cycles, it becomes really bad. Before posting this, I was using Opera for like 10 minutes after resuming from hibernation before FF finally snapped out of it, and windows that I had clicked on in the task bar, like 10 minutes ago, finally popped up.
    I have not yet tested the disabling hardware acceleration. Sounds quite doubtful that it might help but I'll try.
    How can we get the developers' attention on this?
    33 others report having this problem (as of this post). And there are similar reports elsewhere. But after many new versions of FF, it seems that the developers are not addressing these bugs but are instead focused on new features to compete with whatever Chrome rolls out.
    Thanks!

  • System freeze after resume from suspend

    I am running arch for about 5 month now and I always had freezes after resuming from suspend (to ram - systemctl suspend) every once in a while (like once a week or less). The freezes increased massively over the last month or so and for about 2 weeks now it happens 95% of the times I resume from suspend.
    The monitor turns on and shows things exactly how I left them, but is completely unresponsible EXCEPT for I can switch to another TTY (Ctrl+Shift+F*), however I cannot type or do anything in it...
    It doesnt have anything to do with the X server as it also happens after I suspend from TTY (without any X running).
    I also checked journalctl -b -1 (shows previous boot, since I always have to hard-reset the system) but it doesnt show anything after:
    Mar 13 17:16:54 Ununhaswellium systemd-sleep[3624]: Suspending system...
    (the suspend event before resuming)
    Are there any log files that could give a hint on what exactly goes on after the resume?
    Im running the latest official 3.13.6-1 kernel and updated my BIOS to the latest beta version yesterday - didnt help either...
    Ive read pretty much every thread on the internet by now about freezes after resume from suspend but none really helped

    Thank you for the link, unfortunally I don't have a NVIDIA card but use the Intel IGP (HD4600, Haswell) - maybe I should have mentioned that...
    And other than in this bug report I cannot kill X or anything because neither other TTYs work - I cannot input anything (although the hotkeys work weird enough) nor is SSHD running because the system is completely frozen...
    Very funny thing is that for the last 2 days my system didnt freeze once (suspended about 6-7 times during one boot), even though for the 2 weeks prior to that, it froze EVERY SINGLE TIME I resumed from suspend, it didnt work once...

  • Cannot connect to X server after resume from suspend

    Hello,
    i'm a happy user of arch and i3, one and only thing that is not working correctly is that sometimes after resume from sleep (closing the lid, and then opening) I am not able to start any programs. this happens about 50% of the time. when it happens i have to exit i3 and login again, and everything works ok then.
    I'd be grateful for any suggestion how can I debug and solve this problem.

    when I was browsing the internet for solution, I stumbled upon an info about similar problem caused by the hostname set to localhost. I checked my system, and apparently I haven't set my host name during install, and it was still localhost, so I changed it. and after that I tried suspending several times, and the problem never occured. I'll test in upcoming days, and if it works I will change the thread title to [SOLVED].

  • Touchpad permanently not working after resuming from suspend

    I lost touchpad and trackpoint functionality after resuming from suspend on my ThinkPad E530 (3259CTO).
    Even after a complete power off (with the battery removed), the touchpad is detected but doesn't send any event, and the trackpoint is not detected.
    In Windows, in the UltraNav control panel, the touchpad is marked as enabled and cannot be disabled, the trackpoint is grayed.
    In Linux, I can see the difference is kernel traces when the driver is loaded.
    Before : psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.0, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd001a3/0x940300/0x120c00
    Now    : psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 8.0, id: 0x1e2b1, caps: 0xd001a3/0x0/0x0
    After looking at https://gerrit.chromium.org/gerrit/#/c/31105/ and Synaptics public documentation, I was able to get more information : the device status register (F01_RMI_Data0) is 0x45, which means the touchpad is in flash programming mode since there is a firmware CRC failure.
    It looks like http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=24298, so it's probably not a Lenovo specific problem, but a bug in Synaptics firmware.
    Can Lenovo provide the firmware to flash like http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X220-Touchpad-jumpy-response-when-used-with-90... which would hopefully make my touchpad working again ?
    The original firmware should work, but an updated one would be better, if it avoids losing the touchpad again later.

     I don't know why, but this made me think of the episode of the simpsons when home tries to get over 300 pounds so he can work from home.  When he tries to dial the phone he hist all the buttons and gets a recording that says "We're sorry, you're fingers are too fat. To obtain a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad now."
    BTW, sorry I can't help... but at least I am entertained easily.

  • Problems after resuming from hibernation

    I’ve been getting horizontal lines and sound distortion after resuming from hibernation. Has anyone had similar problems or found a solution for this yet? I’m on Lion OS X 10.7.3.

    Rorschach wrote:What freezes? Just X or the whole kernel? Can you ssh to your machine?
    Now it doesn't freeze anymore. I really don't know what the heck is going on on my machine.
    Next time that the machine freezes I'll try to ssh to it. Thank you for pointing this out.

  • Windows 8 won't find any airport after resuming from standby

    Hi,
    I have had a windows 7 PC with both airport express (2nd and 3rd generation) working flawlessly. I bought a new Windows 8 Laptop. Initially everything worked fine, but after resuming from standby mode (closed the display and reopened) my itunes stopped working, and the airport utility software was unable to find both airport express. After shutdown and restart they both worked again until the next standby mode.
    I've read somewhere that it might be a conflict with IPv6 so I disabled it from registry, but the problem remains.....
    any thoughts
    Regards,
    German

    Did you upgrade the drivers from the wireless card manufacturer in win8 machine.. ??
    If that doesn't work.. do some more basic wireless investigation..
    1. Are wireless names SMB compliant.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric?
    2. WPA2 Personal security with a password which also conforms to the above.
    3. Test with fixed wireless channels. 11, 6, 1
    4. If none of the above work.. turn off security for a few minutes and see if that works.

  • Explorer.exe consuming 100% CPU after resuming from hibernation

    I you have any clue what might be going, I would be very happy to hear it. It's really annoying, as I have to kill explorer.exe and thereby close all my folder windows when this happens.
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    thanks for having a look. However, I already ran SFC before posting on this forum (as part of my own investigation) and it came back clean. RescueTime (a time tracking tool) is probably not the culprit because it happened also several times in the past without
    RescueTime being running (that was because I had accidentally removed it from autorun at that time).
    Unfortunately, I can't follow your "invalid date" explanation. I don't think an "invalid date" is anywhere involved; in fact, the method in question is called "_TreeInvalidateItemInfo" and not "_TreeInvalidDateItemInfo"
    (note that there is only one "d"), so I assume its job is just to invalidate (and in turn, refresh) the cached information about nodes in the left pane's folder tree of the explorer window(s) - since the folder tree is the only NamespaceTreeControl
    (whose corresponding class name is CNscTree) in explorer folder view windows. As I see it, something is causing explorer to repeatedly refresh the folder tree data, but I am stuck at finding out what exactly.
    Best regards,
    David Trapp
    EDIT: Disassembling ExplorerFrame!CNscTree::_TreeInvalidateItemInfo confirms that, because it seems to call TreeView_SetItem for a tree node and its parent (possibly with all fields set to *_CALLBACK), and CNscTree::_UpdateItemDisplayInfo
    for the parent node.
    EDIT2: I'd love to dig more into the trace, however I am hitting a wall at function names/addresses. Everywhere where I would expect a function name/address (such as the "by stack" views), I only see question marks instead. What
    could be the reason?
