Safari hangs and is very slow to connect initially after waking from sleep

Using Safari and 10.4.8 on a Mac Mini intel core duo
I put my Mac to sleep at night with the hard drive awake. In the morning, I wake my Mac and try to load a page in Safari and it always take about a minute for it to load the first page. Once it does that successfully then it works fine. Just seems that Safari and the network, which is wireless, take an exceptionally long time to wake up.
Any suggestions? I've cleared Safari's cache and rebooted.

Hi alternapop!
Is loading webpages on Safari the first thing you do every morning you wake your Mac? It would seem to be something more related to your network or system getting up and running than Safari? Can you try it out with Firefox or another browser and see if you get the same thing and post back?

  • Network connection lost after waking from sleep

    iMac (27" late 2013) running Yosemite 10.10.
    Ethernet connection direct to the computer from the FIOS router.
    Upon waking from sleep, the computer is not connected to the internet.
    After about 20 seconds it finally reconnects.
    Under Mavericks it never lost the connection by sleeping - was instantly connected upon wake up.
    I tried creating a new location under the network system preferences and ordered it so that Ethernet was the first to connect.
    That didn't change anything.
    Any suggestions how to fix this?  I don't want to have to wait every time I wake up the computer.
    Really bugging me.

    Update on my situation.
    I have tried many things to get this fixed including:
    SMC reset (for an iMac this means unplugging it, waiting, and plugging back in)
    PRAM reset
    deleted the "system configuration" folder
    Still no luck.  Upon freshly booting the machine, it gets to the desktop and opens up mail for me, but the internet is not connected right away.  Still takes an additional 15seconds or so after Mail boots up to get a connection.  Then everything works fine.  If the computer sleeps, it doesn't have internet upon waking, but again will establish a connection (self assign an IP address) after about 15-20 seconds.
    So while not crippling, these 15-20 second waits are very annoying.
    Interestingly, this is ONLY with a wired Ethernet connection.  If I use WiFi everything connects right away.  But my WiFi is slower than the wired connection and I prefer to use the wired connection.
    Any further suggestions are welcome.

  • Connection problems after waking from sleep????

    I'm having a strange issue with my 2012 Macbook Pro running OSx v10.8. I take my computer with me between home and school, and I usually just put it to sleep during the commute. For the last few weeks, when I got to school and woke up my MBP, it wouldn't connect to the internet. It recognized the WiFi connection, but did not assign a valid IP address. It was only when I shut the computer down and rebooted it that I was able to connect. Strangely, when I got home, I had no problem connecting to my home network, even after waking up from sleep.
    After a little while of this, it got worse. Now, even after re-starting, I am unable to connect at school. (WiFi icon shows exclamation point). This is also true for my home network.
    Here's the kicker. When I log out of my default account and log into the guest account, I have no trouble either in school or at home. Waking from sleep is never a problem and I connect everywhere. However, as soon as I log back into my other account, I lose connectivity.
    I have tried renewing my DHCP lease, or manually inputting an address, but neither of these have worked. I have resorted to using the guest account, and I want access to my old files again without having to switch back and forth.
    If anyone has any input on this, it would be greatly appreciated!! Feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]
    Thanks!

    same issue here..
    reset my network settings and reset phone a billion times already, same issue still occur. sometimes the phone will wake up with wifi and sometimes it will go to 3g, one time it went to GPRS, its just really bizarre. If i open safari it will ask if i want to join the network that i originally set up, but when i select the network it just says "unable to connect". If i just leave the phone be for a couple hours and wake it up again, it will rejoin the wifi network.
    I use remote to control my music library, but if my phone goes to sleep, it won't reconnect again so it's basically useless.
    BIZARRRRRE, driving me crazy..

  • Network connection slow to become active after waking from sleep.

    Using MBP (2007) with OS 10.8.2  I put my machine to sleep each night after work.  Each morning when I wake it, the network connection takes over 90 seconds to become active. This is on a WIRED network.  Didn't have this problem before Mountain Lion upgrade. Before ML the connection was nearly instant. Any clues?

    I am seeing the same issue. I believe it started after upgrading to 10.8.2. (I did not notice such long network reconnections after wake with either 10.8.0 or 10.8.1.) I am also on a wired network. Same result using DHCP and fixed IP.
    The network reconnection after wake used to be nearly instantaneous.

  • Wi-fi internet connection problem after waking from sleep

    hi, i have a macbook pro 5,4 running 10.6.8 OS and i have a wireless issue. whenever the laptop is awkoen from sleep it will take about ~60 seconds to connect to the internet. The wifi indicates that it is connected to my home wifi almost immediately but there is just no internet. Google chrome reports that it is sending a request or redirecting in which it eventually fails to load page. this is very annoying having to wait a minute for my internet to work. i have tried downgrading my wireless card driver/extension to older 10.6.4 as i read there was a wireless issue from 10.6.5 up, but this did not fix the problem. i have also tried changing channels and settings on wireless router with no effect. i do not have any connection issues once the internet connection is established. please help. thanks!

    Have you tried it with a different mouse? I'm no expert, but you might want to find out, if the problem is mouse-specific.

  • Not re-connecting automatically after waking from sleep

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased the TC 1Tb version. I have set this up to be automatic for both channels and all seems OK. However, after I wake up the Imac from sleep mode, the wireless does not automatically re-connect. I have to manually re-connect from the airport symbol in the menu bar. I have an a normal AE before this, and I did not have this issue.

    Hello Diane:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Try clicking the mouse if it does not automatically pair.
    I would also delete the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restart.

  • After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion the wi-fi doesn't connect automatically after waking from sleep. I have a Macbook Pro. It's really annoying and I need help. Anyone?

    Wi-fi worked fine before I upgraded and always connected automatically but now nothing seems to work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    you've posted in the iPhone forum.

  • Keep losing network connection, especially after waking from sleep, but...

    For a while now, my G5 would have intermittent problems not finding the network after it has been asleep for a bit. I used to resolve this by resetting the router, or sometimes putting the Mac back to sleep and resetting the router.
    Lately, I discovered another fix: wake up my MacBook. The MacBook wakes up, connects wirelessly, and sees the network, and shortly thereafter, the G5 sees it too.
    I cannot interpret this. Why would it be that the G5 would fail to see the router until after the MacBook is awake (and sees the router)? I never could figure out which component was at fault before, and this further confuses me. I mean, it seems that it has to be the G5, since if another computer can see the net on the same network, it would rule out the router and the cable modem. Right?
    So what do I do about the G5, then? Yesterday, it was getting to the point where every time I woke up the G5, it wouldn't find the network (until after I woke up the MacBook).

    Hi, Brent:
    I would not be too quick to start swapping things out (esp. expensive things!) without letting the discussion flow. I have never seen an answer that worked except updates and not all do... see below.
    My Dual 2.5GHz G5 has been doing this on and off for years. It has been networked wirelessly since I got it and I am on my third router now for other reasons. I run two other Macs (G4 mini and early IMac/Intel) as well as two laptop PCs, all wireless. None of the other machines ever has this intermittent connectivity issue - just the G5. The symptom is a stalled browser (Safari or FireFox) with the wireless symbol almost always at four bars. Once in a while (like today), the bars will fade down to two for a while, but rarely. Absolutely the only temporary fix I have found successful is to switch airport on and off. Cure may hold for a while or it may not. Have noticed some apps using airport still seem to work (an old MacStumbler utility) even when Safari locks up. Thought it might be a Safari bug, but FireFox does the same thing.
    IMHO, this is fundamentally related to a G5 software issue or interaction with the airport or network card. As I noted above, code evolution is a strong factor in my experience. My problems come and go tightly linked to software updates. It is usually a night-and-day change. I am at 10.4.11 on all Macs here; problem had not been around until I ran the last big update to 4.11. Interestingly, my daughter owns a very new iMac with Leopard and has seen the same type of behavior since Day One. I have also seen this problem mentioned about Leopard and iMacs in the lay press.
    Wish I could offer a solution, but I am just waiting it out again.

  • Mouse not connecting automatically after waking from sleep

    Hi,
    When I open my MacBook after it's been asleep, my apple bluetooth (non-mighty) mouse does not connect automatically. I have to repeat the setup new device wizard to get the mouse to work. This is 100% consistent and occurs every time.
    This mouse was previously my son's and has a particular "affinity" for his computer. For example, before he deleted it from his own system preferences, the mouse would connect to his computer instead of my own even if he was rooms away from me. (this isn't strictly related, since it still occurs even if his powerbook isn't here or is sleeping).
    Thanks,
    Diane

  • Ethernet slow to connect after waking from sleep

    Since installing Lion (and updating to 10.7.1) on my 2008 24" iMac I have noticed that after waking from sleep the internet connection takes about 10 seconds to restore. I have reset the SMC and PRAM and performed a safe boot (in case this helped) but to no avail. The slow conenction can be observed if after waking from sleep the Network System Preference is clicked and the ethernet status "light" is red, changes briefly to amber and then green indcating a connection. The iMac is connected via an ethernet cable to a Linksys 802.11n 4 port wireless router.
    I also have a 2010 13" MacBook Pro, with the same OS, and version, conencted in the same way to the same Linksys router and it does not exhibit this problem.
    This slow internet connection access after waking from sleep is an annoyance and I'd appreciate any input on how to elimnate it.
    Thanks to those wiser than I, who might read this note.

    SOLUTION FOUND!
    I've found a list of possible solutions here's the link:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/wifi-dropping-in-os-x-lion-fixes/
    I solved my problem moving the Ethernet and WiFi adapters in the top of the list and Bluetooth at the end.
    Move Wi-Fi to the top of the Service Order list – This is an old tip that simply prioritizes WiFi as the primary method that your Mac should connect to the internet, and it seems to help maintain connections

  • Has anyone else noticed that: "The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that: Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" didn't work?

    I installed OS X Lion v10.7.3 because of the following claim.
    The OS X Lion v10.7.3 Update includes Safari 5.1.3 and fixes that:
    Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep
    It continues to be a real pain having to reconnect to the network each time I wake my MacBook Air from sleep.
    Does anyone have a suggestion for the resolution to this problem?

    It seems the update fixed old problems for some and caused new problems for others. Sorry to hear you're in the latter group.
    Here are some things to try.
    1. Go to System Preferences > Network, and click the gear icon under the network interfaces like so:
    Whatever service order you have set, drag Wi-Fi either to the top (assuming it's not already there) or someplace else in the list. Click OK and then Apply. Sleep the system then wake it again to observe any changes.
    2. Click Wi-Fi in the above then click Advanced. Select all the networks your computer has ever joined and delete them with the "-" button. OK then Apply again. Select your network under the AirPort icon to re-join it. Sleep and wake again to see if that did anything.
    3. Try creating a new, temporary user account. Log in under that account to see if its behavior is any different.
    You may have done all of these already but perhaps there is something you have not thought of. If nothing helps we may just have to wait a bit longer for Apple to release a fix.

  • IMac loses WiFi connection after waking from sleep on OSX 10.8.2

    Bought a new mid-2011 21.5 inch IMac this week. It is not re-establishing WiFi connection after waking from sleep. Was happening on OSX 10.7 that it came with, so updated to 10.8.2 and same problem exists.
    I am running a mid 2012 MacBook Pro with Retina Display alongside, on OSX 10.8.2 and no problems at all. Cannot work out what is causing the IMac to fail and neither can Apple!
    Could it be the Netgear Wireless Router 3 years old? Full signal strength!

    Me too!
    I am on a MAC Pro desktop and I am having the same issues. I go to system preferences and just click the network icon. Then I close mail and when it opens it now sees the network. This is getting very annnoying. 

  • No connection after waking from sleep using Express as base station

    I find it difficult to re-establish my Internet connection after waking from sleep.
    The Airport Express is connected to a wired Linksys router. I am using the Airport Express as my main base station. The Powerbook is joining my preferred network, but I am unable to get any in- or outbound Internet traffic.
    I am, however, able to connect to my Linkys and login to to its admin area. When I run Ping and Traceroute diagnostics from the Linksys web interface, everything seems to be fine-- I am able to see outside servers. So the problem is this-- I am losing my Internet connection somewhere between the Linksys router and my Powerbook. Only after I fiddle I reset the Airport Express and fiddle with the Airport menu (Turn Airport On/Off) am I finally able to get out to the Internet.
    I have the channel switching set to Automatic, but I've also tried running the Airport Express at different channels to no avail.
    Has anyone experienced similar problems?

    Since you have an Airport Express connected to a separate router, start by disabling the router built into the Airport Express. To do this - run the Airport Admin Utility, select your Airport Express, click Configure, click the Network tab, and uncheck the setting to "Distribute IP addresses". Update settings to the Airport Express. Then - very important - restart all wireless computers.

  • Resolve a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep

    Hi,
    In the recent release for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 "Resolving a Wi-Fi connection issue when waking from sleep" was supposed to be resolved, not so at my end. Has anyone else encountered the same issue and if so will there be a resolve.
    Thank you

    Hello BGreg and thank you for your answer,
    I have alreadty read about this solution, and tried it.
    I downloaded the 1.2 Go file, and applied it. And repaired permissions.
    Everything went fine.
    Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem.
    Meaning that when iMac wakes up, it doen't join my WiFi network.
    I have to do it manually.
    I don't know what to do : it is very strange because I never had that problem with OS 10.7.2 !
    And my network setup has never changed.
    another info :
    I noticed that in the network setup screen, when I want to close the little lock to restrain further modifications, it won't close. Weird !
    Do you think I should call Apple Assistance ?

  • My macbook pro (lion 10.7.2) takes several minutes to connect to the internet after waking from sleep.  Is there any way to make this instant?

    The message that comes up when I click on "TomTom Home Install" is "You cannot open Home Install because Power PC applications are no longer supported." Does this mean that the TomTom, which is absolutely vital to my life - well, not literally but you know what I mean - can no longer be used with my MacBook Pro?
    What that means is that is can't be used with Lion 10.7.  PowerPC was the chip Apple used up until 2006 when they switched to Intel.  At that point, they created the Rosetta emulator to allow for PPC support for 5 years.  They finally dropped the support with the release of Lion.  It will only work with OS X 10.6 or earlier.  The other option is to purchase a new GPS, which can be had for $100 for a decent one.
