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.

I have brand new 27 in imac and also 4 yr old macbook. freezing on both machines in both chrome and firefox after computers on for awhile. This is definitely related to Lion as they both were solid and very stable before i upgraded.


Wish I had never upgraded. So far Lion is a BIG disappointment. This is NOT related to trackpad as I only have trackpad on one machine and both are regularly freezing.


Come on Apple get this fixed!

Add me to the list. My MacBook Pro freezes several times a week on wake up from sleep. Nearly every time Time Machine and Sync are running and WiFi does not connect. Sometimes WiFi cycles looking for network and sometimes it doesn't. Safari and Mail are usually open. iTunes is open sometimes. Other than that, I have DropBox, GrowHelper, and Base Station Agent running as login items. I'll try disabling Time Machine for a while to see if it helps.


I didn't have this problem before Lion.

I have had the same problem. Ever since I downloaded and installed Lion on my MacBook Pro.


Mine has been slightly different from everyone but still does the same thing. Everytime I wake my computer up from sleep it doesnt seem to lock up right away... in fact it takes about 30 seconds to "lock-up". But it only locks up completely if I try connecting to my home server. I can fix this by force quitting finder. It takes about 5 min for my computer to recover.


If I want to try and do somthing after I wake it up from sleep everything stalls and is really really slow for about 5min.


I have been trying to just wait it out and hope Apple would just magically fix this but... this is getting really annoying.


Also my MacBook Air does the same exact thing. However, it seems to recover faster from this. It takes about 2-3min to get back to its full working capacity.

Update on my earlier post. I've had Time Machine turned off for about 10 days. The problem seems to have gone away. My MacBook Pro hasn't frozen in that time, and I only had a single instance where it didn't connect to the network after waking from sleep. I'll turn Time Machine back on and see what happens.
