Lion slow startup from sleep and bluetooth devices lost?

I have the same issues. Specifically, I have to reboot my mac before the bluetooth devices are recognized.

I have the same problem. I did encrypt my filesystem (finally) with Lion, so perhaps it is that.

I love OSX for it's immediate-to-work capabilities. Now I see the swirling beachball for minutes. Hard reboots were seldom, but are now happening more and more...

I should have just waited for the upgrade... :-(

With due credit to gtmagnet, try checking the advanced Bluetooth option "Enable Bluetooth devices to wake this computer".

This may work for you as an interim solution until the bug is fixed.

One drawback: if you put your computer to sleep and then turn off, say, your Magic Trackpad (using the MT's power button), it will wake your computer straight back up again.

So you'll either need to put up with extra battery drain on your Bluetooth devices until the bug is fixed or try carrying them far enough away from the computer that you can switch them off without it "noticing".

I've noticed this as well.

If I click on my Magic Mouse when my Mac is asleep, I can hear it wake up, but the screen stays blanks and the sleep light stays solid. After pressing a key on my keyboard, the screen brightens to my lock screen.

yeah, me too

sometimes when i start up imac, it says that wireless mouse/trackpad/keyboard cannot be found, and then it keeps scanning until they are found

hopefully this bug will be fixed

i've noticed that general startup and shutdown take longer under 10.7. I'm not sure if Snow Leopard was like this when it first launched, since i got my Mac when it was 10.6.6

Same problem on all my machines...but also after sleep everything runs slow, firefox in particular will not run after asleep. Please help Aplple!

I am seeing this on a Late 2010 11" MacBook Air (4GB RAM, 128GB Drive). I do not have any Bluetooth devices attached nor do I have the computer encrypted. It sometimes takes 10-15 seconds before the computer is responsive after sleep. This did not happen on Snow Leopard.

It's a new feature called instant on ! 🙂

I had a similar problem. After installing Lion there was a few second delay after waking from sleep. I've since gone back to Snow Leopard.

I have trouble keeping the screen on...period!! When waking from sleep, the screen is only on for 3 seconds and then goes back to sleep. Impossible to wake up again. Cold start is the only fix. Really disappointed in Apple.

Yep got the seem here!!

And its not your Mac its the lion software

I test 7 mac's in the apple store and all ....slow start up.

Please soon a update because its now closer too software of microsoft then Apple (only start up)

Hi, same problem with the slow wake here. Could you explain what you mean by "disabling login?" I just have two accounts: an admin account and my use account. Thanks.

I think it's in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Automatic Login.

I am not "techy" AT ALL, I came to apple because of, as Steve would have said, the seamlessness of Apple. Since paying for snow leopard, waiting for it to come in the mail, having it not delivered twice by UPS b/c Apple has an unwritten policy to require signature for delivery, then paying for lion - (whew, runon sentence) - I've had nothing but problems including this one with the delay in my mouse working from sleep. It takes about 15 seconds every time my computer wakes up. The 2008 version worked just great. All I wanted was iCloud but of course you couldn't do that without all the upgrades. Anyway my point is, disappointment in apple, God I miss Steve. It was he and his attention to detail and ease of use that swayed me from PCs in the first place. I don't think he would be pleased.
