Q: Sleep/wake crash OSX Mavericks, Macbook Air 2013

Hi there,

 

Since the upgrade to Mavericks my 2013 Macbook Air had a few sleep wake crashes. The problem occurs when my air turns to sleep, and I try to wake it with the keyboard within a very short time.(1-3 seconds I think) Happened a few times when I was typing and accidently pressed the on/off button while typing(which is a really stupid feature in the new OSX if you ask me) and a few times when I tried to safe my laptop from going to sleep because it was idle for to long, and just got there to late. What happens is that the Macbook just gives a black screen, but is still on. I cant let it sleep by closing the lid, and the only way to get it running again is by restarting.(holding down the on/off button)

 

Couldnt find anything similar to this. So i'm hoping if this is a common problem with Mavericks and is on the list to be fixed with the new patch.

 

I hope you guys have some info.

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    This just happened to me this morning when I tried to prevent my Mac Book air from sleeping and was too late. Now it won't boot past the apple logo, I was able to get into the disk utilities where it notified me of an error with Mavericks. I've set up an appointment at my local apple store and hope they can fix it there. Apple definitely needs to fix this bug.

    Well, I must add to this forum, after shutting my MBP 13" retina (late 2013) lid last night, this morning I wake to open it to......nada, zip, nowt, nothing.

     

    No key would work even the hard power off button press, I shut the lid again, then opened it pressed the power button again and it restarted, but displayed the error on wake up screen and your computer has shut down incorrectly......blah blah screens do you want to report to Apple....yes, but no internet connection....aaaarggghhhh

     

    I was woken up in the night about 4 hours after I shut the lid to a single musical tone and the apple logo on the lid lighting up then going off, that's clearly when it decided to crash itself when on standby.

     

    Sort it Apple.

    My Macbook Air early 2014 will lock up for a good 10-15 seconds if I wake it up right after it goes into screen saver. It's really annoying, sometimes the lock up lasts longer, but it ALWAYS does this. Very disappointed considering you can buy a car for the price of this thing. Fix it apple ***.

    I'm having this issue since I installed Mavericks, which is the very first day it was released. After a week of testing, I can say removing AirParrot kernel extension definitely helped me. Thanks a lot.

    Ok, so I can see a large amount of posts with this issue.

     

    I'm having the same issue on YOSMTIE, does anyone have a fix? This is driving me crazy and I don't have time to read through 350 posts!

     

    Please Help, should I go to the apple store?

     

    (Yes I've tried resetting system management and reinstall)

    Same problem here, rMBP 15', external 4K display mouse and keyboard, clamshell mode. Wakeup black screen every evening.

     

    ok so we are now 120.000 views  and 12 months later, and mavericks is on the point of being phased out, and apple STILL did not resolve this issue. Did Apple ever respond to this in any way? Since the machine IS running with this black screen and some can even ssh to it, this seems a Finder issue and not a kernel issue.

    I am so very disappointed Apple did not resolve this issue with Yosemite.

    Similar issue. NO issue with my configuration prior to Yosemite installation yesterday, 10/20/2014.

     

    Current configuration:

    Model Name: MacBook Air

    Model Name: MacBook Air

      Model Identifier: MacBookAir5,2

      Processor Name: Intel Core i5

      Processor Speed: 1.8 GHz

      Number of Processors: 1

      Total Number of Cores: 2

      L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB

      L3 Cache: 3 MB

      Memory: 4 GB

      Boot ROM Version: MBA51.00EF.B02

      SMC Version (system): 2.5f9

      Serial Number (system): C02HTXQADRVC

     

    Use it with Apple BT wireless keyboard and Apple BT wireless Magic Track Pad.

    Have MBA with lid closed and external HP monitor attached via cable to MBA.

     

    After auto sleep is initiated I get intermitten functionality to use track pad, some times track pad works but KB doesn't allow typing to password field. Open MBA lid and MBA keyboard is also unresponsive.

     

    Only way to resolve issue is hard power down!

     

    SUCK!!!!

    I seem to have a solution, as the problem hasn't reoccured yet.

     

    I turned off wake when in sleep mode (ac power options)

     

    Not sure what that had to do with that? But seem to work.

     

    I also removed sound flower at the same time

    I have MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011).  I just recently had the Logic Board and other work done.  It was running perfect till Yosemite.  Mine seems to happen when I have it on and I am not paying attention and the MAC goes to sleep.  If I don't plan on using it again, I shut the lid and the next morning, NOTHING.  Hard reset.

     

    It doesn't seem to happen if I go the Apple Logo and manually put it to sleep.

    I have the sleep/wake crash problem on my MBP 2011 and my brand new Mac Mini both with Mavericks 10.9.5

     

    To read that Yosemite is not fixing this issue is really quite shocking.
