My iMac has suddenly become very slow to wake from "sleep." Why? How can I fix this?

My iMac has suddenly become very slow to wake from "sleep." How do I fix this and what is causing the problem? Even the mouse wakes very slowly.

Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
1. Quit all app scompletely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • IMac has suddenly become very slow doing everything?

    My iMac has suddenly become very slow -at present it is useless and will have to take to apple unless you can help.?

    First, make sure you have adequate backups. If your hard disk is failing this could be a sign. It can be replaced if necessary, but a backup strategy is recommended whether or not you are experiencing problems.
    Read: OS X Mountain Lion: If your Mac runs slowly. It applies to Lion as well. The article is very cursory, but be sure to read through to the end. Unfortunately the link there is broken, so use this one: Disk Utility. To do this you must start your Mac from the Recovery System or Internet Recovery.
    Rather than ask a dozen questions for more details about your system consider the following. You must be running either Lion or Mountain Lion. Including your version of OS X in your system description would help.

    Need Help Ye,
    boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow?

    After installing the new software to my iPhone 4S , my dream zoo either will not start or when it does it has a blank screen that has a few icons on it that wont work. How can I fix this is it possible to go back and reinstall the older software ?

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

    How can I resolve this?

    In addition to Mr Oskar's Suggestion..
    Basically inserting subtotal is adding rows for each group and inserting formula for SUM,COUNT etc.If your data has many rows obviously that will take more time.You may try once with PIVOT TABLE

  • My apple ipod 32mb has turned all the icons upside down and backward. How can I fix this.

    Apple iPod Touch 32mb has turned all icons upside down and backward. How do I fix this.

    I really do not understand. Try the basics:
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    Hey Tafaya,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing performance issues with your MacBook Pro. The following resource may provide a solution, while it is titled for OS X Mavericks - the same steps apply for Yosemite:

  • Mini Airport very slow following wake from sleep

    My son's mini, on a 20Mbit down/5Mbit up connection, has a network problem when waking from sleep. Once awake, it only manages 1Mbit down/2Mbit up. Using my Macbook Pro, I verified that there wasn't a network problem. Shutting down and powering up the mini reverses the (repeatable) problem. The MBP does not exhibit the same behavior.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Jim

    Mine does the same from time to time - I have found that if you just put it back to sleep, and then wake it, the connection then works fine.
    Irritating but fixable, at least for me.

  • Lion very slow to wake from sleep

    Since performing a clean install of 10.7 (now at 10.7.3), my MacBook Pro takes several minutes to wake from sleep. With Snow Leopard it would take seconds. The settings in the preferences are the same. It also does another strange thing: When waking the screensaver, the screen freezes and, using my mouse, drag it around until I find my login icon... The mouse leaves a trail behind it - kind of like an etch-a-sketch does. I ran disk utilities and, although it found numerous problems and repaired them, it is still acting strange. This is annoying... I'm tempted to go back to Snow Leopard. Any ideas?

    Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1806

  • The latest update to CC has caused brush lag across all versions of Photoshop.  How can I fix this?

    Ever since this past week's update to CC, I have noticed a decrease in performance across all versions of Photoshop I have installed, CS6 and CC.  Many of the brushes I have, both in Photoshop's default and my own custom sets, lag horribly when drawing.  My system had not previously had this issue as far as I can tell.  Just to be safe, I have tested Photoshop on other builds, a macbook pro and a near top of the line PC.  The lag happens across all systems.  I've tried drawing with just the mouse and the Cintiq 12WX and the responsiveness is the same.
    For the sake of this case, here are the specs of my main work computer.  All drivers are up to date, as is the OS:
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q6600 2.40 GHZ
    RAM: 8 GB
    Operating System: Windows 8 (64-bit)
    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series
    Hard Drive: Samsung 830 256 GB Solid State (where my scratch drive is)
    Monitor: 2 X Dell U2410
    I have tried altering the OpenGL settings and disabling them altogether on all builds, including this one. There is no change in the lag of the brushes.
    For the sake of complete clarity, these are the specs of the near top of the line PC and the Macbook, which both had the same issues:
    The PC:
    Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4 GHz, overclocked to 4.4 GHz
    RAM: 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz
    Operating System: Windows 8 (64 Bit)
    Graphics Card: 2 X EVGA Nvidia GTX 670 4GB SLI
    Hard Drive: 2 X Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD, Raid 0
    Monitor: Apple 27" Cinema Display
    Macbook Pro:
    Processor: Intel Core i7 2.7 GHz
    Operating System: OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion
    Hard Drive: Western Digital 500GB 7200 RPM
    Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 630M
    I've also tried completely uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop CS5 and CC on my work computer, which still did not solve the issue.
    I am a freelance artist and this sudden lack of performance is putting a cramp in my deadlines and possibly in my income stream, if I cannot solve this issue quickly.  Please advise!

    I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
    First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
    After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
    I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
    I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

  • Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes?  How can i fix this?

    After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button.  Simply closing the error message closes the program as well.  I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me).  It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update?  It just can't seem to get past that point.  I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.

    Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it.    Found this in another post and it worked great.
    Solution:
    Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.
