Why does it take 30 seconds to sleep after the 10.7.3 update?

After applying the 10.7.3 combo update it now take 30 seconds between the time I select sleep from the menu (or press the power button) on my 2.66GHz Mac Pro. It used to be instant.

Matthew,
Again, this started when I installed the combo 10.7.3 update. Unlike you, my screen does dot go to black-except-cursor, but remains at the desktop (or whatever app I'm in), but simply takes 30 seconds exactly to sleep. I do have a Belkin UPS attached, and I'll try to unplug the USB cable and see what happens. Also remember that I've tested this in a new unsullied user, so it's probably not anything I'm running. Another possibility is that I have 2 RAID arrays connected via eSATA, but I had those before the update and they did not seem to affect sleep then. Could be that Apple changed the way they handle eSATA.
I'm on a 2006 Mac Pro (details below).
Would be nice if we could get some help from an Apple engineer on this issue (hint, hint...)

  • Why does Bookmarks take several seconds to respond after I move a bookmark when Sync enabled, but not when Sync is disabled?

    With FFox open and Sync enabled, moving a bookmark, either in the Bookmark sidebar or in 'Show All Bookmarks' window, to another location - for example: dragging a bookmark from "Unsorted" to another location in Bookmarks - causes a delay during which time the Bookmark list seems to freeze and bookmarks can't be moved, selected, etc. The delay lasts for several seconds, and is longer on slower/older machines. If I attempt to move a bookmark (or folder) during the delay, it will move in unexpected ways once Bookmarks unfreezes as locations within the Bookmark list have changed.
    With Sync disabled, bookmarks can be moved/selected/etc. without any delay.
    Systems Tested: [Note: All systems had the most current version of FFox available for them.]
    MacBook Pro 26 (2014) w/OSX 10.9
    IBM ThinkPad T41x (2010) w/XPpro
    Macbook Pro 266 (2009) w/OSX 10.6
    IBM ThinkPad T61x (2008) w/XPpro
    Mac Mini (2008) w/OSX 10.6
    Mac Mini (2007) w/OSX 10.5
    Macbook Pro 233 (2007) w/Ubuntu v14
    ASUS P1AH (2006) w/Ubuntu 12
    My main computer is the Macbook Pro 266, and I noticed this behavior: FFox v36 bookmark delay with Sync enabled is about the same as v35, v35 was worse (longer delay) than v34, v34 was better (less delay) than v33, v33 was better than v32, V32 was much worse than v31, v31 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v30, v30 was much worse (Sync unusueable) than v29, v29 delay made Sync unusueable.

    Currently 664 [exported from FFox Bookmarks to URL Manager for the count] abut never more than 4000: beyond 4000 bookmarks and FFoxs' Bookmarks respond slowly even without Sync active. I currently have 5 computer with FFox set up to use Sync. While I don't expect FFox to manage a huge collection of URLs, I would be nice to be able to access a Bookmark collection of 6000 to 8000 without noticeable delay. It's a simple text file after all, and as I'm only effecting one URL, why so long to update?
    fyi: URL Manager tells me that I've amassed about 300,000 bookmarks, some from the late 90's which I still use for research.

  • Why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?

    why does it take 30 seconds to fall in sleep modus?
    Some time ago it took just a few seconds.

    I have the same problem.  It always takes about 30 seconds for my Mac Pro to fall asleep and it's driving me crazy.
    I've got a Mac Pro early 2009 4.1.  I've reinstalled the OS twice, disabled all startup items, uninstalled the Logitech Control Center, and unplugged all USBs.  Only running keyboard and apple Mighty Mouse on bluetooth.
    I've also disabled hibernate mode, and removed the sleep image from the boot disk.
    On a pmset log, every thirty seconds the "com.apple.diskmanagementd" program creates a "PreventIdleUserSleep", then thirty seconds later it creates a "ReleasedIdleUserSleep".  This repeats itself continuously while it's sleeping.
    I've tried killing the process in Activity Monitor and it just starts up again 30 seconds or so later. 
    What could be causing this, and how can I stop it?

  • White iMac Intel with 10.4.1 takes 40 seconds to sleep after clicking on it

    My dad's machine (after a restart) will take under 3 seconds to go to sleep after the command...but after checking email and unloading camera or some surfing- for some reason it takes almost 40 seconds.
    I reduced spotlight's things to check, removed all superfluous fonts, used Activity Monitor to see if anything weird was running, removed Google Desktop....
    Nothing helps...not to mention it just generally runs slow. It has plenty of RAM. I just don't get it. I have followed all of the "Tips to optimize speed on the Mac" and no luck.
    Any ideas?

    See if any of these provide pointers.

  • IMac takes 30  seconds to sleep after 10.8.5 update.

    Recently, and just after installing OS X 10.8.5, I've noticed that my 2012 27" iMac takes at least 30 seconds to go into sleep mode upon choosing so from the Apple dropdown menu. Prior to installing OS X 10.8.5, my iMac would go to sleep in less than a second. I've looked up this isse on the support communities and have tried many of the suggestions, including checking print cues and resetting the SMC and PRAM, but all to no avail. I haven't installed anythign new on my computer, but my huntch is that there is some type of application lagging which causes the computer to take so long to sleep. Is there a way to go about searching for the culperet program? Or any other suggestions? Also of note, if I restart the iMac, wait for it to reboot, and then quickly put it to sleep, it goes into sleep mode normally, however after about 10 minutes of using the computer, if I try to sleep the iMac it will take upwards of 30 seconds to sleep.
    Thanks,

    I am on a Mac Pro 2.8 (3.1) 2008 model.  12 Gb ram and a radeon 5870.  This supplemental update has been pretty horrible.  I have had the following issues: messed up sleep, random wake ups, and one hard crash.  I have also had the long sleep delay where the fans crank up and it takes forever to sleep...only a restart cures this, which is pretty useless.  The mach file showing but that was fixed with a terminal command.  Lost video chat icon on iMessage for a while but that has now mysteriously returned.  The last annoying bug I have suffered with is what seems like horribly reduced audio quality out of the Apple LED 24 inch cinema display speakers.  It sounds like 22kz mono both input and output.
    I would rate this update a full on zero out of ten, for creating problems that never existed in 10.8.5.

  • Why isn't 4G on my iphone 4 after the iOS 5.1 update?

    I have an iPhone 4 and someone I know who has an iPhone 4S, we both got the same recent update (iOS 5.1) and they have "4G" and I do not. Why is that?

    That is only displayed on the iPhone 4S, that is why. It has to do with the iPhone 4S's ability to connect to the higher speed network.

  • Why does Airport take so long to connect to the wireless LAN?

    I have one of the Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros. I notice that whenever I wake up my Mac from sleeping, it takes a good 10 seconds for it to find and connect to the LAN. By contrast, Windows computers seem to find it and connect almost instantly.
    Aside from having WEP encryption, there's nothing special about my LAN. It's a Linksys WRT54G, and I'm not hiding the SSID. Also, my home network is at the top of my list of preferred networks.
    Once connected, I don't notice any problems. I haven't tried any specific tests of local throughput, but web browsing and other internet traffic with the Mac is no slower than the top speed of my broadband connection.
    Also, I've talked with other Mac users, and they don't report wireless connections taking so long to be established.
    So, what's going on here and how can I fix it?
    Thanks!

    My guess is that your connection will appear even faster, although I have no explanation for that, only my experience since I installed the same update.
    Yes, your MBP firmware appears to be up to date, although the documentation is confusing. If your firmware wasn't updated at all, it would probably end with 00, instead of 01.
    Software Updates needed for Macs will appear in Software Update's automatic offerings. I'm not sure what might have happened with the AirPort Extreme Update, although I suspect it might have only been called for if a Mac was using an Apple Base Station.
    If you use Software Update to do your updates, you can check the Software Update panel of System Preferences, and on the "Installed Updates" pane, scroll down and check to see what was installed and when. I installed the same AirPort update the day after release - but then I was having an issue and was checking Software Update every day for that update to show up for my iMac Core Duo.
    [I'm not sure that firmware updates are listed there at all, perhaps only software updates.]
    To check for all downloadable updates on your own, click on "Downloads" in the Support menu bar at the top of this page. That's where firmware updates will appear if they are not included by Software Update. The last firmware updates have been appearing in Software Update. The first in 2006 didn't, but that created so much confusion among new users that I have a feeling that Apple has changed the procedure to automate it rather than have it be search and find:) Only time will tell.
    Your mention of your printer - you could check to see if Samsung has a firmware update for your printer, but no, you can't use a mixed network, you need everything connected to be using same encryption method with same network name and same password.
    I believe I understand the new AirPort Extreme "n" Base Station will support two separate simultaneous networks like that, one on the 5MHz band and second on the 2.4MHz band, but the older equipment can't do that.

  • Why does my 2014 Mini go to sleep in the middle of activity?

    My 2014 Mac Mini is primarily used as a home theater unit. For display, it's connected via HDMI to a port on my Onkyo home theater receiver, which is in turn connected to my Sony 52" LCD.
    I have an external Bluray drive connected, as well as a 2TB USB 3.0 bus-powered external hard drive.
    Keyboard is an IOGEAR Bluetooth keyboard, trackpad is an Apple Magic Trackpad.
    At the moment, I'm using MakeMKV to rip one of my owned DVDs to the Mini's external drive...
    ...and yet, despite this ongoing activity, AND the fact that I have the Caffeine app activated AND no screen saver AND Energy Saver settings designed to NEVER turn off the display, if I walk away and come back a few minutes later, the display will be OFF and the Mini will be ASLEEP.
    (I also have a Macbook Pro. Running Caffeine on my laptop will keep it awake until h e l l freezes over or I say otherwise. Wish that were true with my Mini.)
    Any ideas as to how I can keep my Mini reliably AWAKE?
    Thanks!

  • Why does LR creates a second "EDIT" file in the catalogue, once the image was opened in the develop

    Is there a way to set the preference, that is should not copy a secind picture of the same item once it has been modified in Photoshop? If it is important I would save the image in a different folder from the other program directly. When I return to the library module I would like to see the same number of pictures in my catalogue as they were before I started to manipulate any of the files.

    I am sorry not to mention the versions I am working with. But you guessed it well, nevertheless. I just updated to LR-4.3 but I am still using CS-5.5 (CS-6 is on its way.) I do save everything in PS using Save-As to a different folder, and I do not see much need to have a copy in my LR library mode for a second copy of the same picture as an "EDIT" version. Unless someone could explain to me a logical reason I would need them, I feel it simply cluters up my stock folder. I could easily start with several hundred photos, but by the time I manipulate a couple of hundred, it just makes the catalogue larger.
    If you think that by using a synced version of the two applications (ie. LR-4.3 and SC-6.x) will ellimintae the problem, I am fine. If not can you explain how and where to change my preference? Thank you... Andrew

  • I just recently upgraded to Mavericks.  Why does it take awhile to load messages in mail after I click to open them?

    I just recently upgraded to Mavericks.  Why does it take awhile to load messages after I click to open them?

    I should have put more info with my question. Anyway, I regularly use Seamonkey with its built-in mail client because it works so well. I also can use the Yahoo site's mail feature and the mail also goes out instantly once I click on the send button. Only Mail takes up to 32 seconds to send out a mail. I watch the spinning wheel churn until the whoosh sound comes. Not acceptable, that is why I use Seamonkey. Another iMac in the house shows the same low level of performance sending out the mail from that computer, and that computer uses the ultra-fast Comcast internet while my computer uses the AT&T land line. I tried changing some of the settings, like changing the port numbers to no avail. I returned to the recommended AT&T port setting. Since I have never been able to get Mail to work the way I want it, I switched to Seamonkey, but have always been curious as to why it wants to take so long. I like Safari as the browser a little better, but will use Seamonkey because it has it all and works the way it should. Unless a cure for that elongated wait with the outgoing mail is found, I will have to stay with Seamonkey.

  • Why does it take so long for a home video to buffer?

    I recorded a video on my canon digital camera, transferred it to my iMac and then tried to watch it on my TV with my Apple TV, but a 3 min. Video took about 10 to 15 min. To buffer. It finally played. Now I'm waiting on the next on to finish buffer, and play. It's 10 min. long and it's been buffering for about 30 min. Why does it take so long?

    Not on the LAN - traditionally internet speeds were rate limiting - these days it's possible the LAN connection is especially with multiple wifi signal paths.
    Unless some app is transcoding the camera video on the fly I'd be surprised if LAn slownwss alone would cause these issues.
    What's the camera and what is the recorded video format?

  • Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Why does it take 40 minutes to start watching a rental on Apple TV but only seconds to start watching Netflix?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
    Netflix movies are adaptive and vary their quality according to your connection and can be as low as 0.5 Mbps.
    But remember lower datarates = lower quality.
