MBP re-awakens after sleep with lid shut with Mavericks update

My MBP seems to want to re-awaken itself after I make it go to sleep by closing the lid!
This has started since the last couple of updates. Weirdest thing - it would go to sleep after I close it, and then after a while it would try to re-awaken with the lid shut, and it keeps doing it over and over again.
I noticed that the machine was hot, one day when I came home, and then I realized that it was hot because it keeps wanting to come awake after I closed the lid, and noticed it the last couple times I went to bed myself!
What is this weird glitch?
Thank you.

Hi 24Golfer,
Take a look at the article below and verify there isn't a sleep preference set that's causing the issue with your portable.

High virtual memory after sleep with Mavericks

Here is a screenshot of activity monitor below, right after lifting the lid on my MacBook Air 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.2 (upgraded from Mountain Lion).
It's in french but you can see that the virtual memory is running higher than I would expect (IMO). There is no slowdown of the OS, no beach balls, no memory pressure, ever.
This does NOT happen on my Macbook Pro 2012 (standard 13", no SSD) in identical conditions under the same OS version.
Here what i do in more detail. I run several apps at once:
- MS Word (3 ou 4 docs)
- Pages (1 or 2 docs)
- Preview (1 or 2 medium or large PDFs)
- Mail
- iTunes
- Safari (no more than 5 or 6 tabs at once)
- Messages
- A spell checker (Antidote. Yes, a french one)
- Zotero
- Activity monitor
RAM used is never above 6 Gb, and some it is usually cache anyway.
At the end of the day I close the lid to put the MBAir to sleep. The next day I see this high (or is it really that high??) virtual memory usage, with swap used anywhere from 300 to 900 Mb.
Computer runs smoothly, no hang ups, everything is seamless!
Is this normal operating behavior for a Macbook Air??
I know Mavericks introduced new RAM management, but should I just stop looking at Activity Monitor like I have OCD (I dont. I think.) or should I call Apple? Or do a clean install?
Suggestions welcome! If I'm missing info please advise. If a thread already exists about this I didn't find it...

You are not alone in being baffled and worried about the memory readings in the Activity Monitor. There are many postings on this. Mavericks uses memory quite differently than previous OS X versions and so the numeric memory usage readings no longer mean what they used to. The best indicator now is the Memory Pressure graph, which on yours is low and green (good).
Computer runs smoothly, no hang ups, everything is seamless!
Yep. Mavericks runs great. There is nothing you need to change or be worried about, espeically with 8 GB of RAM.
should I just stop looking at Activity Monitor like I have OCD
Yes, unless you want to watch the green Memory Pressure graph but that would be booring.

I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

Maverick and Your System message
I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
Any ideas?

These timezone definition changes are fairly common, when viewed world-wide.
For notifying Apple, contact the folks at the Apple Support Center or (if you have access) log a bug report. (The folks at Apple might or might not notice any postings made here.)
For the immediate case, updating the timezones yourself is straightforward; the sequence is basically the same on Linux, OS X, Unix and even OpenVMS. Ugly, but it works. (The US folks got to see this mess first-hand a few years ago, but there are other locations that see these sorts of timezone definition changes far more often.)
For those following along that aren't familiar with this sequence, this old posting should get you close when rebuilding your definitions, though the timezone database has moved to IANA.

My MBP 2011 w Lion freezes after sleep with blue screen and other sleep issues

My MBP v2 of 2011 line with Lion on it freezes occassionally (maybe 1 out of 10 awakenings from sleep) where the screen is blue and only way to make it stop is to hold the power button and restart.
Another issue I have is I'll come out of sleep, and the wallpaper on my screen disappears, and I just see a gray background. If I go to Monitor preferences, it claims the wallpaper is set to my normal background. Restarting has the background display again.
Note: I often use a external monitor, so good chance these freezing issues happen when I unplug/plug in the external monitor (via DVI cable to DisplayPort converter to MBP)
Today I had a slightly different experience with the freezing. It had my second monitor have a bunch of pixelated garbage and a message about holding power button down and restarting. I restarted, and got a "your system has crashed unexpectedly" like message, so I told it to send the data to Apple.

I used to have that problem as well, try going to system preferences and having the computer require a password after waking, worked for me.

Mbp running slow after sleep mode

My MBP runs extremely slow after sleep mode (closing lid). It seems like Safari will take up much RAM. But I use a memory freer which supposedly should solve the problem. So after all I am not sure what is the real cause and what could solve this.
BTW it runs normally after a reboot.
Mine is a mbp 13" refurb purchased in March, 2012.
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB RAM

I too have been noticing problems in slow behavior after sleep mode. It has gotten so bad I have been restarting it regularly or shutting down much more regularly. It behaves almost like normal after a re-start.
It is almost like the hard drive is failing? Last time this happened I put a new HD in. I am usually running a large number of different programs, always multi-tasking, which has been a mac fortie. Seems worse with the last few updates. My I mac is 24" imac 2008 model. replaced drive just before apple care expired.

MBB Does Not Sleep When Lid Shut

My macbook does not sleep when I shut the lid. This happened recently after I had my fan repaired. I also updated the OS at the same time, so I'm not sure which triggered the problem.
I would have to manually select sleep before shutting the lid; and I would have to press the space bar after I've opened the lid to wake it.
The following thread applies to a MBP. Apparently my problem might be a faulty latch.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5325605&tstart=0
I've reseted my PRAM, but that didn't work. My machine has been in for repairs 4 times (Fan, Logic Board, and the top case has been replaced twice due to cracks).
I'm wondering if I should send it back to the service centre to have it looked at. Apparently, if this is not a hardware problem, it won't be covered under AppleCare, and I would be charge. So just want to make sure...

I tried doing this fix using the guide on http://ifixit.com to dismantle my MacBook and find the battery/lid detector cable which indeed seemed loose at its connector just next to the headphone jack, but when I reassembled the mac still does not detect lid closing and now it doesn't even detect the battery anymore! Yikes! Looks like a trip to the apple store is required anyway.

MBP display checkerboard after sleep

Hi Guys,
I found yesterday after opening the lid of my MBP once I got home from work that the screen had turned into a multi-coloured checkerboard of 'fuzzy' patches.
Doing a hard boot didn't resolve the issue as it did the same thing, then cleared and got 'stuck' on the blue screen that flashes up on boot. The second time I did a hard boot though, it came good.
I have read elsewhere that this is something to do with the logic board.. Anyone else having the same problem?
I use an older CRT monitor at work as a second display and I am pretty sure unplugging it had something to do with it the first time, but it just happened again after waking the computer from sleep. (Running Motion 2 at the time)
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Guy's,
I bought my MBP last Thursday and it was working fine until 2 days ago when I got the checkerboard after only a few minutes of use. Hardware check gave back the Failure code: 4SNS/1/40000000:'Tm0P' which I sent to Apple but no reply yet.
I'm bringing it back to the shop first thing tommorrow morning. I don't have time to wait a week or two for them to fix the problem especially if their "motherboards" all got the same hardware onboard. I haven't been able to spot any stories by Apple about this issue.
Looks like Apple has a QA issue with their ATI-X1600, or that the QA issue is ATI's all the way.

Why did my MBP just "awake from sleep" with a greyed-out beach picture????

My MacBook Pro just awoke from sleep with a greyed-out image of a beach scene while a status bar at the bottom of page appeared to show some form of check-up or update.
Any idea what this was?

I think that's what the MBP does after the sudden motion sensor detects alot of movement. I'm not 100% sure, though.

Wi-fi remembering after sleeping with turned-on bluetooth

Hi Guys!
I found really weird issue for my Macbook Air 13" 2012.
Currently i'm on Mavericks, but not sure - is it Mavaricks's problem or my Air - when bluetooth is on and i close Air, after waking-up laptop doesn't connect to my Wifi network. Macbook sees my network but doesn't "remember" it.
But when bluetooth is off - it's ok. Laptop remember wifi and connects in one moment.
Maybe anybody has or had same problem.
Thanks!

Hi
Been following these discussion regarding mavericks and wifi dropping.
I also had a late 2013 MBP with mavericks preinstalled and everything reinstalled by me by hand (first time ever since the early days of pre OSX with OS6 as always migrated stuff over).
So when wifi started hanging on wake up from sleep I was both peed off after all the handwork and stymied.
So thanks to you all on the forums for offering clues.
These led me to figure out the issue was a conflict between Bluetooth and Wifi.
- Helpful pointers included getting iStumbler to examine network setups.
- Holding down alt key when choosing Wifi menubar icon to examine whether 2.4 or 5ghz channels (potential conflict twixt BT and Wifi competing on 2.4ghz?).
- Looking at the router I was using in terms of network protocol b, g, n, etc.
This led me to realise that the router I was using was an old Sky one with only b and g protocol.
I also had an apple equipment based (base unit and two express extenders) network running the more modern n protocol which was ethernet linked to the Sky router.
I had stopped using it a year previously as it would only pick up 2Mbs speed, compared to 8Mbs for the Sky, and gave up breaking my head as to why.
However on reading comments that referred to a router being the culprit I switched over to the Apple network (ethernet linked to the Sky router) rather than the Sky router only based network and hey presto.
Problem solved.
It seems all is good, no issues whatsover with Wifi dropping on wakeup or during use AND I am getting great speeds (10Mbs+) from the Apple based network, ethernet linked to the Sky router (dont ask why now).
A further note relates back to a historical parallel on my 2010 MBP with Wifi issues which turned out to be the Transmit menu bar icon. That seemed to have been resolved eventually, thanks to forums gathering options.
So when the similar issue arose with Mavericks my memory of this was triggered and I unchecked the Transmit menubar icon, but havent rechecked and rechecked it now I have Bluetooth and Wifi.
Will do after a few days of running the above BT/Wifi solution will post only if it affects the Wifi wakeup use problem.
So many thanks for all the angles and happy hunting for those still adrift with the Wifi dropoff issue.

No display after sleep with macmini using DVI - S-video/composite under XP

Hi guys, I have installed XP on my mini. I have CRT TV so I'm using
DVI -> S-video/composite to output to my TV.
The problem is after sleep - there is no display (it's woking only after reset).
I installed the latest drivers from the mac os 10.5 DVD & updated the graphics driver from Intel.
Please help

Unfortunately, no answer, as I'm having the similar problem with a Samsung SyncMaster 215tw and a G4 Mini. It works with the DVI-VGA adapter and the VGA cable into the montor's VGA port. However, connecting with the G$ Mini's DVI port with the monitor's DVI port using a DVI cable doesn't work. I cannot figure out why this doesn't work.
The DVI cable is good and the monitor's DVI port is good, as the connection does work using my friend's Intel Mini's DVI port connected to the monitor's DVI port using the DVI cable.
The monitor is new, too, and otherwise works fine with my other Macs connected with the VGA port. (I've not tried the additional ports as yet.)
Although the monitor is supposed to synchroize automatically, I also tried manually presetting the G4 Mini to different resolutions, but that didn't make any difference. The screen remains black when it should be showing the booting Apple icon.
Any idea what is going wrong here, please, as it sounds as if this same thing occurs with various monitors?

Mac Pro 3,1 with 5770 problems after sleep with Lion

Hi,
with 10.7.3 there was a fix for older iMacs with the same issue on an HD 2600 but my mac Pro with the 5770 has the same problem.
Is the Mac Pro user less important for Apple?
My card works fine afer restart. No issues and performance problems (cinebench scores 37fps) but when i sleep my mac and then wake it up all graphic UI things are creepy. There are laggy animations and so on and the speed in Aperture is decreased to a minimum. Cinebench scores after wake up only 16fps.
I bought the card to INCREASE my speed (formerly i have had the HD 2600 built in) and for now, my 249€ is spent for nothing. I dont want to restart my Mac everyday.

So, i have set up a completely new system with all updates to 10.7.4 and the problem already exists.
I am not sure, if this was a problem with Lion or with the ATI 5770
Not really nice

Why didn't Numbers download with Maverick update? It says I have to pay $20 for it? I thought it was free? What did I do wrong?

Numbers didnt download with my new maverick update. To my understanding, its supposed to be free? Is this correct? Now its saying I have to spend 20 dollars to download it. What went wrong? How do I fix it?
Thanks

It is not free as part of upgrading to Mavericks. It is free if you owned a previous version only - the upgrade is free for people who already have iWork apps.
Or, if you bought a complete new Apple computer on or after Oct.1, 2013 it is free.
Otherwise, if you've never owned any iWork app at all, you have to buy it.

Logic Pro 9 visual glitches with Mavericks update

Hi Guys,
I updated to Mavericks on the day of it's release. I'm running Logic Pro (9.1.6) and everytime I hit play I now get these black blocks that follow my playhead. amongst other smaller visual glitches like midi notes appearing in the arrange window rather than the piano roll... I'm not totally convinced this is anything to do with Logic Pro 9's compatibility with Mavericks however the problems only started since the installation.
Any ideas?

I'm rnning Logic 8.0.2 and i am also having this issue. also my Mbox 2 Mini is not working (i know it's not the best interface anyway, but still.
