Mac OX X Lion freeze after wake-up

Hello,


I've installed Lion for one week. Runs fine except when waking up from "sleep" mode. (NL: sluimer) I can't determine what causes this behaviour. Usually Chrome, Mail (2nd desktop) and Parallels Desktop are running.


Also I had once a freeze when the machine was unused for 15min. Activating resulted in a freeze. Button on the back used for off and on.


Please help me solving this issue.

This has not fixed my problem but it has helped a lot. Before I had the problem every other day, now I've been a week crash free.


I did an SMC reset and I've done a PRAM reset (because I also have the battery issue - not fixed yet btw), stopped using Chrome and started using Safari. Also, before I close the lid of my macbook, I quit my browser (ie. Safari) and start it back up after wake up.


Don't know which of the above is responsible for it, but the freezes happen way less often now.


Still waiting on an Apple fix tho. Apple, you're not off the hook yet! 😉

I really start to think it's due to flash related sites. I don't use a lot of programms and still it is freezing. Chrome is our main browser. Usually also Parallels Desktop (7) is active but even when Parallels is shutdown the iMac keeps freezing.


Just like this morning. Only Chrome was active and we browsed for holidays and some other flash related sites.


Apple please fix this issue!

Same problem, freezing after waking, but I felt the problem could have been mail or safari. Both became unresponsive, could quit safari but not re-open. Try to re-start and mail prevents shut-down, have to hold down power switch. Got Chrome but don't use it. Only happens on iMac, no problem with Macbook. Looking at a re-install just to clean things up.

Well, I can't say for sure, but I really believe it was the Logitech Control Center software update that caused my iMac lockups. Before the LCC update, my iMac was working fine with Lion. Right after the update, my iMac started locking up almost every time it would go to sleep. It would wake up, but then nothing was responsive and I had to do a reboot to get it working again.


At any rate, it's been about a week now since uninstalling LCC and I haven't had a single freeze. I have not tried installing LCC again, but nothing else has changed on my system, so I think it's safe to conclude that LCC was causing my lockups. Unfortunately, there are obviously other scenarios that are causing this problem so this probably won't help most of you.... but perhaps there's some root underlying problem?
