Macbook Sleeping Problems
I’ve been having a few problems bringing my Macbook out of sleep mode as of late. When I open it back up and enter my login details, because I have the login screen pop up whenever it goes into sleep mode, it will sometimes hang with a black screen. The mouse moves and it’s responding to something, because my active corners give me the bright, happy error sound, but I can’t get into my actual desktop.
Typically, it occurs after keeping it in Sleep mode for roughly four hours or more, or the time between lunch and my arrival at home. It happens at random and generally closing it and opening it again fixes the problem. I don’t know if other Macbook line owners have been experiencing the same problem. Ironically, holding down CMD + Option + Eject to put it into sleep mode and pull it out works flawlessly, so it seems to be a product of closing the Macbook and letting it go to sleep by itself.
It may also have something to do with the way the Macbook sometimes “wakes up” whenever the top is closed. Generally, when this happens, the the next time I open the Macbook and login it will have the problems stated above. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Let me know!
You are not alone. My MBP does the same thing, as did its predecessor. It may also have to do with disconnecting devices (USB and such) after putting it to sleep. It is an intermittent issue that really started appearing midway through the 10.4.x series. Send Apple a bug report at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
No such issue over here… Hope you find a way to fix this as it must be annoying!
Same thing here with my MBP guys.
Same happening to me. Some time ago it happened sporadically, however in the last few weeks it has become more and more frequent.
I think the whole windows/mac thing is a bit overblown. But the worst I have to say, are the Apple fanatics. So smug in their macs it is ridiculous. Macs are great, so is OS-X from what I can tell. Windows has worked fine for me though and I have made that choice for a variety of very good reasons. But I am tired of being belittled by mac fanatics for that choice. I would be more likely to consider a mac if there were fewer arrogant mac SOBs that think the mac is the best solution for everyone. It isn’t.
