Problems waking up after sleep since 10.8.3 update

A couple of weeks ago, I updated to 10.8.3. Since then, I have been having difficulty waking the machine after sleep. I get the constant beach ball. On a forced restart, I will get the spinning gear followed by the prohibitory sign, like it can't find the OS. I have tried rebooting in safe mode, resetting PRAM/NVRAM, repaired disk and disk permissions with disk utility, checked the status of hardware with (AHT), reinstalled OS X (twice), but the problem persists. I'm at a loss and have no idea what else to do.
I'm seriously regretting upgrading from Snow Leopard at all.
I've been trying to run time machine to back everything up, but my external USB backup disks keeps randomly unmounting, so I can't even get a solid backup now.
Please help.

No, it has nothing to do with being Friends or not.
There are more and more security issues with java, Oracle comes with updates almost every few weeks. Until lately Apple had it in theuir distribution system, but because of the security issues decided that it was not good business to distribute automatically this leaky system. So with new system updates the Java is removed to make sure the customers reinstall the latest version. You can download from both Oracle and Apple, but don't download from any other source.
Luckily I do not need it anymore and have not installed Java since a few months.

  • Problem waking imc after sleep since installing mountain lion

    iMac
      Model Identifier:          iMac7,1

    I installed mountain lion and since then when the computer sleeps for more than 1 hour, I come back to a blank screen. Initially I could use the mouse as a chalk board eraser and uncover the login most of the time. This showed a white box erasing a black screen. Recently, I come back to a grey screen with a black box that does not move in response to the mouse or arrows. I have to do a hard shut down and then restart to use the imac. I run Norton antivirus scans regularly and they have not found a virus.

    Thanks Paul. I tried it and it didn't work. I completely removed the program.There are reports of MAC mountain lion viruses I found online and I still worried. I did not find any other cause for the situation though. Interestingly, Norton came out with upgrades that claimed to fix the problem I was having and stated it was now compatible with the new OS.
    Downloading the newest version of Norton and installing it from scratch ( my subscription was still good) did resolve the issue.
    I believe there was some part of the old program that hung around and was not uninstalled completely. This must have been fixed with the latest vs installation.
    I have used Norton almost as long as I have been using Macs. ( since the first Macintosh). I have found and been able to remove viruses before. I am skeptical that any OS will eliminate the need for virus protection.

  • Problems with networking after sleep since March 1st EPI firmware update

    Hi,
    After the new EPI firmware upgrade of my macbook pro (4 months old) a problem that I had 3 months ago re-appeared again :
    when I received my laptop (Lion, fully updated) a few months ago it had problems getting internet access after waking from sleep : it could detect the wifi-network, it was connected and when I tried to ping -for example- google.com in terminal it would answer. This means my network was working and DNS was working too...
    Only when opening safari, or software update or any other program that wants to go online, it would give me a 'no internet connection' message. After 3 minutes or so, it would work again (wihtout doing anything). I tried renewing the DHCP lease, moving the order of interfaces, re-adding the networks after deleting but nothing helped.
    The problem back then was solved after a firmware upgrade, and it would be online 2 sec after waking from sleep.
    After this week's firmware upgrade the problem came back......
    Anyone have any suggestions, or anybody know if Apple is working on it again?
    Thanks,
    Koen

    For me the problem is solved now.....last night software upgrade popped up with "another" EFI-firmware upgrade, and after this it worked again....too bad I didn't look at version number. But I'm happy I wasn't the only one with this problem....
    For the questions above : this was abviously firmware related since it happened directly after the first update. If something has worked and nothing changed in the peripherals the problem is in hte thing that DID change...the firmware. I was surfing after solutions and I did see that there is a problem for some people with the way the OS passes on the DNS (so when pinging, the DNS is picked up directly or something, but in applications such as safari.... it grabs the settings from the OS somewhere). There was a terminal-based solution to reset this setting but by the time I wanted to try it the frimware upgrade popped up....but maybe it can help others...

  • Problems auto-connecting after sleep & startup (Changed from WPA to WEP)

    Okay, I know there have been several issues similar to this, but after two days of sifting through posts, I still can't resolve this.
    A few days ago I switched my AirPort network security from WPA to WEP-128. This was required to allow my Nintendo DS to connect to the netwrok, by the way. After the change, two similar, but slightly different problems started:
    My 15" PowerBook G4 no longer auto-connects to the network at startup. The network is listed in the drop-down, and connects with no problem when I choose it manually. The computer seems to have no problem re-connecting after waking from sleep, which is odd because...
    My other PowerBook, a 12" G4, won't auto-connect at startup AND won't re-connect after sleep. As above, it has no problem connecting using the Keychain once the network is selected from the drop-down.
    So far I have tried, on both machines:
    - trashing the system airport prefs
    - deleting and resetting the network's keychain entry
    - repairing the keychain (no errors found)
    - turning off some unneeded power mgt options
    - disconnecting USB peripherals
    I have also reloaded the software on both my AirPort Extreme base and my AirPort Express hub, as well as restarting both hubs. I've also made sure that AirPort is at the top of the network connection list.
    Both laptops are running 10.4.3 and have all the latest software updates installed.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks.

    Both of these replies are helpful, in that they help confirm something I figured out this morning, almost accidentally.
    One thing I didn't mention was that during the change from WPA to WEP I changed the network password. Now, I assumed that since the Keychain seemed to be working and I could get on the network manually without needing to enter the password each time, that meant the new password had correctly propagated throughout the system.
    So, this morning I go into the Network settings, switch from Automatic to Preferred, select my network, look at the properties, and notice that somehow it has way too many bullets for that to be the correct password. I re-entered the password and that seems to have solved the problem. The new password I had entered somehow didn't make it into this setting. I guess trashing the network prefs, or renaming the network would have had the same effect.

  • Bonjour not wakeing up after sleep - again

    It happens again, and again: after wakeing up from sleep, the network services do not wake up.
    After my iMac wakes up, Safari tells me, that no "Internet Connection" is established. However, with ping etc., everything is fine. In "Bonjour Browser" I see that no Bonjour services are running at all!
    This happens with only Ethernet cable connected in about 20% of all wakeups. Very annoying.
    To solve it, I activate Airport, and deactivate immediately, then Bonjour wakes up and my internet connection, too.
    Any hints? My former posting was archived (who?) and not yet answered.

    I have exactly the same problem with my Mac mini 2009, also running MacOS X 10.6.3 – but on a more regular basis than you (in about 50% of cases). I don't have Little Snitch running, so whatever is the reason, it's not that.

  • P7 1054 on Win7 64 bit not waking properly after sleep

    We're experiencing a failure to wake after sleep, where the happy blue power light comes on, everything spins up...and totally fails to do anything. Powering off and on does not fix it...it requires unplugging the cord, holding the power button to drain residual power, reconnecting, and THEN it boots up.
    I've updated the BIOS, disabled any hibernate, checked the BIOS to ensure none of its power settings are taking effect, and tried a number of sleep patterns and options.
    Any other ideas or similar experiences with the P7-1000 line? I'm frustrated since, for some reason, it's showing the warranty as having expired much sooner than the actual purchase timeframe.

    I own a p7-1026 which is, for the most part, the same computer. Everything is the same except I have a Phenom II X4 840T CPU vs. your Athlon II X4 645 CPU and yours has a 802.11 wireless b/g/n PCIe mini-card whereas mine doesn't.
    Mine goes to sleep and wakes up perfectly everytime, all the time. I did erase the HP Windows 7 install and installed a clean copy of Windows 7 but I don't think that has a major impact on your issue.
    Did you install any update before this issue arose??? Did you change any settings before this issue occured??? If you have any Windows restore points, you may try rolling the computer back to one of those dates to see if that helps. You may wish to view your Windows logs for a driver or process that is causing the problem. If you don't mind backing-up your data and preforming a HP Recovery... that should cure your problem.

  • Bluetooth lost after sleep (since 10.6.8)

    Noticed that since 10.6.8 update, once I wake up Macbook Pro by lid opening, bluetooth become disabled and can't be enabled anymore until I restart whole laptop. Does anyone met similar problem? If this is somecthing general with 10.6.8 update r

    I'm having the same problem but I think my case is even worse. I have an iMac (late 2009) and when it returns from sleep I get no mouse and no keyboard (both are bluetooth).
    The solution that is working is to switch off one of them (the keyboard, for example) and turn it on again. When does not work(I am unable to even enter the password) I have to turn off thecomputer power button (to put in sleep) and wake it again.
    Oh, one important detail: I can not even wake up the computer,because neither the keyboard nor mouse work. The computer nowonly wakes up the rear power button.

  • Apple TV 3 doesn't start Bonjour services after sleep since firmware upgraded to 6.0.2 (6646.81.1 build)

    I have upgraded my AppleTV 3 to firmware 6.0.2 for five weeks but always getting problem in Airplay my ipad2 and wired iMac to Apple TV3. Before that, the Apple TV3 in firmware 5.0 was fantastic in everything. Now, the all-time-sympton of my Apple TV3 waking up from sleep is:
    1) iPad2 in IOS6..1.3 can't find any airplay icon, same as my new iPhone 5s
    2) The wired iMac can't connect to AppleTV3 through Airplay, neither from Maverick's airplay icon nor from iTune's airplay icon.
    3) Further than that, the home sharing from AppleTV3 is found to be disconnected from iTune in iMac
    My port-scan towards ApplTV3 at this scenario is found all the Bonjour services are missing, including:
    *  Remote Audio Output  (port 5000)
    *  _airplay (port 7000)
    * _touch-able (port 3689)
    * Sleep Proxy Server  (port 57206)
    * _appletv-v2 (port 3689)
    My walk around at the moment is to restart AppleTV3, then all the Bonjour services come back and airplay, home sharing work again. However, this requires me to restart the box everytime I bring up the box from sleep. That means I have to turn on TV... quite fustrated.
    I'm wondering if there is any similar problem encounted and any fix.  Well, I can't find any formal description from Apple but their trouble-shooting document keeps saying to "restart Apple TV" as last resort.
    Tks in advance!

    I finally found the like-symptom causing the issue of missing airplay services on ATV box.
    Well, I have one airport express installed in my study room, which connects to the same LAN as ATV3 in living room. Today, I reset airport express to factory setting and reconfigured everything on AirportExpress, including its SSiD, wifi network key and device password. All of a sudden, my iPad, iPhone, iMac lost their airplay connection to ATV3. Port scanning found no airplay services on ATV3 box. It needed box restart to bring up airplay as my earlier walk around solution. I still performed reset -> restore for a "permanent fix".
    That said we might have airplay icon disappeared again if there were more than one airplay device on the same LAN that would interfere to each other. Working on one airplay device from ground start would cause airplay service of another box malfunction.
    My experience showed this twice. The first was happened when I put an airport express on the same LAN and I posted a thread here for help. The second was in this morning when i reset airport express to factory setting

  • MacBook not waking up after sleep

    I have a new MacBook, less than a week old.
    Sometimes after I open my MacBook after sleep, nothing happens. Only the light on the front turns off but the display does not turn on and I don't hear that noise that Apple computers always make when wake them up or turn them on. I can hear the computer on but nothing is happening. I have to hold down the power button to reboot.
    What should I do?

    I had the same problem, sometimes three or four times a day. You may try "resetting your PMU" -- I did this on suggestion, but continued to have the problem.
    I created a new user account and kept all of the default settings, and started using only that account for a while. The problem with coming out of sleep went away, and things were fine for a week so I assume it is something software-related. I switched back to my desired user login now, with still no idea what might be the cause of the problem. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a user-configurable OS setting, or application that cannot recover from sleep mode, that hangs the OS.
    I saw on another thread that using "Secure Virtual Memory" is maybe the root cause of some graphics problems (video driver issue). If true, maybe it also causes the "failure to wakeup" issue. Some have also suggested the wake-up issue can be avoided by turning off "require password to come out of sleep mode." I have not tried this; I need security and the ability to lock my desktop.

  • Problems waking up from Sleep

    Hi,
    I have had my MBP for about six weeks now, and I have noticed a problem coming out of sleep for the past two weeks. Details below:
    When I close the lid, the MBP goes to sleep as expected. Sometimes when I open the lid, I notice that the bluetooth mighty mouse has no response, although I see that the bluetooth icon in the menu shows it is connected. When I click "Turn Bluetooth Off", I get an infinite pinwheel spinning whenever I hover over the menu bar. If I close the lid to put the MBP back to sleep, it appears to go to sleep as expected -- but when I open the lid, the MBP appears dead and requires a hard reboot. After the reboot everything is peachy.
    I would say that this has happened about a dozen times now (enough for me to post this question).
    Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?
    TIA

    I've had the same experience with several Macs, even back to using OS 8. This "comatose" condition is why I never "sleep" my desktop Macs & only sleep the laptops by closing the lid, never by choose sleep from the menu bar or allowing Energy Saver to put the Mac asleep. In System Preferences > Energy Saver I set the computer to never sleep, display to sleep after 15 minutes & hard drive(s) to sleep when possible. My screen saver comes on in 10 minutes.

  • WiFi must manually reconnect after sleep (since updating to 10.9.4)

    My MacBook Air (Mid 2011) just updated to 10.9.4 and now the WiFi doesn't reconnect to my home network when I resume from sleep (open the lid). I need to click the WiFi icon and re-choose the home network each time.
    This is new since I updated. Ironically, when I read the update notes, it was supposedly to fix this type of issue from occurring in the first place, and yet I never had the problem until after I updated.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • New MB AIR; problems waking up from sleep - tracks grey lines across screen when trackpad is activated

    I bought this new AIR in Hong Kong 10/10/2011; it has taken to being unresponsive when I try to wake it from sleep. When I try to find and move the cursor by moving my finger on the trackpad, I end up drawing thick grey lines which express the movements of my finger.
    I tried to get APPLE HELP but as I registered my AIR in Hong Kong, I can only reach HK telephone support - and SINGAPORE is not listed on the page (only HK, USA, New Zealand, etc). The problem is I am in Singapore right now.
    Can anyone help? Thank you.

    This Mac Pro is less than one week old so I shouldn't have tp reset the PRAM etc but I can give it a try.
    By the way, here is the screenshot taken by my digital camera:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/pse.no.spam/MacProDesktop/photo?authkey%3dJhw9Na8R6G axLfG9zUe92EA1AIs%234990364461229080594
    It ONLY happens when it my Mac Pro goes to sleep for the first time. All subsequent sleeps are okay. I need to Shut Down my Mac Pro and boot it up again to reproduce the problem which will happen after the first sleep.
    I can give rid of the lines simply by manually putting the Mac Pro back to sleep for a few seconds and waking it up.
    Also it would appear that communications to the monitor gets reset after 10 seconds or so. (I see the DVI Icon appear on my Monitor). When that happens the lines disappear.
    I also noticed that the lines will go away if I simply turn off my Dell 2407 WFP 24 inch widescreen LCD Monitor and Turn it back on. But I am not sure whether that is really fixing the problem or whether it would be fixed in any event simply by the passage of time as noted above.
    Do you think it is my Monitor?
    (i am using 1920x1200 resolution on a 24 inch Dell Widescreen Monitor)
