Why does my screen freeze after it goes to sleep?

I have a Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.4
If I don't shut down my computer after each use and it goes into sleep mode, when I return the windows are frozen and when I move the mouse around, it blanks out the screen.
I have been able to figure out that pushing the "help" key on my keyboard, will stop the mouse from blanking out the screen wherever it moves across, however, all the windows remain frozen and I cannot click on anything even to try and shut down my computer. I have to shut it down by using the power button.
Once I restart my computer it is fine, but this problem will reoccur whenever it goes into 'sleep' mode.
Any help here?

I have been having the same problem with my MacBook Pro -2010 though. It just started a few weeks ago; can't seem to get the to screen stay on long enough to log back in; it goes back to black within seconds. I have tried all the different buttons; esc works sometimes after holding the power button down for a few seconds. Eventually the log in screen [or the screen I was at when I closed the top] will come back on.
I hope I can find the answer to this as I can't afford a new machine right now. Besides, it's only a year old but out of warranty.

TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

Log in screen appear after Mac goes to sleep even if screen lock is turned off.

Log in screen appear after Mac goes to sleep even if screen lock is turned off. This happens usually but not always. Using Yosemite, 2 year old iMac. This has only started to occur recently and it happened in Mavericks also.

Howdy stkh,
You may want to check the General pane of the Security & Privacy System preferences to make sure that the Require password...after sleep or screen saver begins is not checked. See this article for reference -
OS X Yosemite: General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Why does my iTunes freeze after periods of time

So i have a MAC Mini with an external hard drive. For some reason after about 15 mins. the itunes will freeze up and i have to remove the external hardrive and plug it back in and then everything works fine. But this is a pain in the butt, because i recently got apple tv and i like streaming stuff off my itunes to my tv. But i have to keep getting up and unplugging the external hard drive and pluggin it back in so my itunes will work properly on the mac mini. This is quite frustrating. Does anybody have an idea or Clue as to why this is happening?
Not sure if this is related to it, but i have "time machine" for my external hardrive and that seems to fail backing up sometimes as well. but when i un plug it and plug it back in the back up works flawlessley. Could this all possibly be related to the external hard drive.
Thank you for any and all feed back
also im tired of having to force quit itunes when all this is happening.

Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

Why does my system freeze after ever update from Firefox...and has gotten very slow

My computer freezes during or after every update that come in automatically recently. It has also gotten extremely slow at the same time.

Your setup looks like it should really fly.
Often when people have serious slowdowns like you mention, it comes down to one of two things:
a) Some problem with the user's account. One way to test if this is the case is to create a new admin user and try running FCP X from this new account. If the same projects that were slow behave well in this account you'll know that some setting, or cache, or login item, or whatnot in your own account is responsible.
b) Some problem with a plugin. If there is a plugin that you use all the time, and maybe was not updated for the current version, and can cause slowdowns, then maybe you think it is the machine. See what plugins you are using, and run a test project without them. Does it run as fast as it should?

Why does my layer freeze after putting it in a clipping mask?

I have a new retina-display iMac, and my version of Photoshop (Creative Cloud) is up-to-date.
Whenever I drag an image from my browser over to my open Photoshop file and place it, it's fine. But when I then try to move that layer into an existing clipping mask, suddenly the layer freezes. I can see it, and I can see the transform controls, and it is being masked, but I can't move it, or use the transform controls to re-size it. It's like this new image layer is completely frozen.
I have to save the Photoshop file, close it, re-open it, then everything works as normal and I can adjust the new image and move it around. Happens every time. Please help!
My computer is brand new and I just freshly installed Photoshop, I shouldn't be having to deal with any weirdness already!'
Thanks

Ok. I found this:

Why does my screen freeze and get pixelated

Hey guys, so sometimes when I'm working on my macbook pro, i'll jump through the taps on Google Chrome and my screen will freeze for a split second and become pixelated. But the screen will stay with the pixels until i scroll the page up and down or do something to refresh my screen. Here is a picture of how it looks.

Run the hardware test that came with the Mac:

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

Hello bigboza,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor?

why does my screen turn blue and freeze every time i try to plug in my 'mini display to hdmi' cable into my thunderbolt port in order to use an external monitor? it only works if i turn the computer on with it already plugged in.

Do you have gfxCardStatus installed? Is your monitor set to "Integrated" or "Discrete". You want it set to Discrete to drive the external HDMI display.
Try resetting the PRAM and SMC
<About NVRAM and PRAM>
<Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)>
Are you sure you have a good miniDisplayPort to HDMI cable?
Do you have another HDMI display you can test against (your neighbor's HDMI capable TV).
Do you have friend that can test the cable using their Mac and maybe their TV or a monitor that has HDMI input.

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does the video freeze half way through my movie and the audio keep going?

Why does my movie freeze half way through and the audio continues?

Most likely this is due to running out of virtual memory. You can reset virtual memory by restarting your Mac.
Long term you may want to consider purchasing more memory.

Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

Screen Freezes and then goes white

Hi. I'm new to this forum, and this question may already been posted.
Recently when I am watching shows online, my screen will all of a sudden freeze and then start to fade to a grey and then to a white. After a couple moments it usually fixes itself, but in some cases I've had to manually shut it down.
It is starting to do it more frequently (maybe once a day). I've never had the problem before and I've been watching shows online for over a year now. I'm just wondering if there may be something wrong that can be fixed or done.
Any help or advise would be appreciated.
I'm using the Macbook with the aluminum casing.
One more question, sorry..... Is it normal for the case to get warm, almost too warm?
Thanks again!

mine does this too, I bought my macbook in currys and I went there yesterday to hopefully get my macbook fixed under a year warranty. I took pictures while my mac was freezing and showed it to them so they performed some tests about graphics I think, then the only thing they said was the heat is the problem nothing else. I've got a transparent case for my mac, they told me to get rid of it and so I did but when I got home and used it for about 30 minutes, the screen freezes again and goes to white. What do I do now? Help please.

Why does my screen minimize every time I push the left shift button?

Why does my screen minimize to left top corner every time I push my left shift button?

I would try going into your System Preferences and reset your keyboard settings to the default setting. It is possible that somehow your shift key got bound to something it shouldnt have been.
