After my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the trackpad movement (mouse) reveals the sign-in screen in little squares.
Hello there, peijinc.
I understand your MacBook Pro seems to be taking longer than expected when coming back from sleep. It sounds like you may be seeing the Mavericks feature called Safe Sleep. The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of how that feature works:
OS X: Saving energy with Sleep
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5963
If you feel that this period of time is greater than normal, this article offers some practical steps to troubleshoot your Mac:
OS X: When your Mac doesn't sleep or wake
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5357
Although the entire article offers relevant steps, this section may prove most useful:
If the steps above do not resolve your sleep-related issue, try these additional recommendations.
Reset SMC
Reset NVRAM/PRAM
Test with external devices disconnected
Try Safe Mode

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Here's the scoop:
My MacBook Pro (late-2007) randomly goes into sleep mode. It would go to sleep, wake up, go to sleep, wake up, go to sleep...etc. It would do this for about 4-5 times before it just sleeps and doesn't wake back up.
But there's the twist. This only happens when my MacBook Pro is connected to my external display (a Dell) with the lid is closed AND when the MBP is running off of the battery. The only way to wake up my computer would be to open the lid (as neither my Apple wired keyboard or Bluetooth mouse can wake it back up), but then that would be terribly inefficient and render my external display useless. Everything does run fine when the magsafe is plugged in, or if I'm running off of the batter with the lid open.
I have tried to reset the SMC twice with no success. Actually, after my second reset, I was able to use my MBP connected to my display, lid closed, and without magsafe connected. However when I stepped away from my computer, it went to sleep and wouldn't wake up. It is worth mentioning that I changed my battery a week ago but have tried using my old battery again to eliminate a bad battery issue to no avail.
This post is really just a stab in the dark as I'm trying to find solutions before my Genius appointment on Thursday. I hope someone can help.Does the problem occur when the AC adaptor is connected? If not open Energy Saver preferences and set them to mimic in Battery mode what they are in Adaptor mode. By default these two modes are quite different. Furthermore, the OS will turn off power or reduce power to external ports to conserve battery power. This would not normally be conducive to having an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected.

MacBook Pro Retina won't wake after after sleeping!
On most occasions after my 13" MacBook Pro Retina has been put to sleep (by closing lid or pressing Power button) overnight it will not wake up again until I have reset the Systems Management Controller. Opening the lid, or Power button or Space bar still leaves a black screen.
My wife's new 11" MacBook Air suffers similar problems even after our local Apple Store reinstalled Mavericks in an attempt to resolve the problem..
Any thoughts on a solution would be gratefully received - thanks.Mac Pro is not the same as the notebook MacBook Pro

Sometimes when my macbook pro wakes from sleep the curser has disappeared, the screen is frozen and no keys work. I have to reboot.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
after updating my Macbook Pro retina display to os x yosemite 10.10.2, the mause and track pad locks, and do not respond especially when using the Mac for a long period, please help, how can I solve this, I do not like feel like in windows, so I paid good money for this mack, I feel calm
Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

Macbook Pro restart after waking from sleep
Hi all,
Since I've installed Mountain Lion (10.8.2) on my 13" Late 2011 Macbook Pro I've been experiencing a quite annoying problem. The computer, which is connected to an external monitor through Thunderbolt to HDMI will restart (Sometimes to a gray screen with a progress bar) after waking from sleep. I've done some research and it would appear as though the problem is related to the display driver.
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this peculiar problem or if there's a quick solution.
Thanks!Maybe this will help. If you monitor the "More Like This" box, other solved threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads.

Safari closes when MacBook Pro sleeps
Hi everyone
I recently upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.1) and have noticed that when my Macbook Pro goes to sleep (on battery and when plugged in), Safari (8.0) shuts down without warning or notification, taking all my open tabs with it. Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!There are at least three ways for the MBP to sleep.
"Natural" sleep by just leaving it alone.
Forced sleep by hitting the Option-Cmd-Eject keys
and forced by closing the cover.
I would first see if all these sleeps give you the same crash.
Since you did an upgrade, it is most likely something from your previous install, but that is not guaranteed. -
When my MacBook pro late 2011 wakes from sleep i have it set to make me enter my password, but when that pace comes up the resolution of it is smaller than my screen. Why is this happening?
I was at the Apple Service. The problem was the 750Gb Toshiba HDD. It's incredible what noise can make that little thing
I didn't know the hdd position is on left on MBP 17" , I thought is the same position like MBP15"
I did't lose any kind of data.. it was fix on time.
Anyway, thank u guys....and don't forget that noise !!!
P.S. I'll make a song with that noise sample to remember it -
Magic mouse and Macbook Pro Sleeping issues
Since I upgraded to Lion a few months ago, I've noticed that occasionally my Macbook Pro (early 2010) won't sleep when I close the lid. I think I've narrowed down (at least one of) the cause(s): if I turn off my bluetooth Magic Mouse after the lid is closed, the computer won't sleep. In fact, it will run hotter and hotter with the lid closed and, when I open the computer, it's non responsive, necessitating a hard reboot. I've checked the pmset log and I see the EHC2 (bluetooth mouse) waking the computer immediately after the clamshell sleep. Has anyone else seen this problem (I've seen similar things on the foroum, but not quite the same) and does anyone know what to do about it?
Repair disk permissions. Open this app:
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app
Ensure your current volume is selected in the left hand column. Click 'First Aid' (if its not already selected), then 'Repair Disk Permissions' at the bottom.
Ignore the various warnings that come up in the 'Details' window, so long you get a message at the end saying 'Permissions repair complete'. -
MacBook Pro Sleep/Wake from sleep problem
As of today I have been experiencing a strange problem with my MBP. I can't wake my MBP when I open the screen although the machine is running. I also realized that I can't put it to sleep mode when I select it from the menu. Also, strangely, when I close the display to put it in sleep mode, the light stays on, instead of blinking. I already reset the power manager and the parameter RAM. I also have all my software updated. Any help would be appreciated.
I searched for Macbook Pro sleep issues since I am having one with my brand new 2.4 MBP.
I adjusted the sleep mode so it doesn't "safe sleep" because that took far too long for my needs. Before and after doing so, however, after the computer goes to sleep (pulsing light), I have taken it out of its bag and noticed the Apple lit up and it making noise. It wakes when I open the lid again but I am concerned it never slept soundly.
I have Bluetooth wake from sleep OFF so that's not the issue.
Has anyone else had concerns that their MBP is not sleeping soundly? I don't want to damage this computer, but I cart it back and forth to work every day i my backpack, and I need to be comfortable that it's parked and asleep during transit. -
My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo). -
Macbook Pro -- sleep and wakeup problems
If I fold the screen down when leaving my Macbook pro 8,1 (ML 8.1) and then open it again within a few minutes, it will not "wake up". If I continuously open and close it, the small LED on the front goes bright when I close it and dim when I open it. If I leave it closed for several minutes, it will usually wake up on opening, but not always. This particular Mac did the same thing under 10.7 and 10.6. I've heard of the same problem from others, and I have the same problem on a Macbook 2,1, although it is less frequent on that sysem. This does not happen on my iMac or Mini.
Sleep also did not work properly on a G5 from 2005, and I was told by Apple technicians at the time that Apple "broke" sleep around then, and never got it working properly again.
So I'm not expecting a fix, but has anyone found a reliable workaround, other than leaving the system in "sleep" mode for several minutes?In regards to the trackpsd, read this Apple support article:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171
Open up the MBP and inspect the battery. It resides under the trackpad and if it has expanded, it will interfere with the trackpad,, If that is the case, replace the battery.
Also a very thorough cleaning of the trackpad will restore functionality.
In regards to the other issue, I suggest a reinstall of the OSX.

my macbook pro crashes after a few minutes of playing a game or using photoshop? i just got it fixed motherboard. do i have to do an update?
There are no updates currently available beyond v10.8.4 for Mountain Lion.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
If that doesn't help, the startup disk may need repairing.
Turn the Mac off, wait about ten seconds then startup while holding down the Command + R keys. Let go of the keys when you see the spinning progress indicator.
From there you should be able to access the utilities in recovery mode to verify and repair the disk if necesssary, or reinstal OS.

Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.
