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.

As many point it, this problem seems caused by several applications. In the case of my iMac 21.5-inch, Time Machine seems to be responsible. But no problem on the MacBook Air and my girlfriend or my old MacBook. I install update 10.7.2 and checks if Time Machine is at fault.


À lire les commentaires de plusieurs, le problème semble causé par différentes applications. Dans le cas de mon iMac 21,5 po, Time Machine semble le responsable. Par contre aucun problème sur le MacBook Air de ma blonde ou mon vieux MacBook. Je fais la mise à jour avec 10.7.2 et vérifie si Time Machine est toujours fautive.

I have exactly the same problem on my Macbook Air with 10.7.2. Terrible Apple, just terrible. Proper wake and sleep is absolutely mandatory for a laptop.


By the way... how do you quote the post you want to reply to.

Joining the group! I have the freeze issue after updating to 10.7.2, 2010 Mac Pro SSD drive. I updated the firmware for the OWC 120GB SSD (early 2011 drive), but the problem persists. I did not have this issue under Snow Leopard or Lion 10.7.1. I first had the drive in a 2006 Mac Pro 1,1 and it was freezing (10.7.2), so I moved the drive to the 2010 Mac Pro (10.7.2) and cloned the drive. I does the same thing. The 2006 Mac Pro does not freeze now since to SSD drive is out of it. I just put a new OWC 115GB SSD in a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15, so far no issues yet. Installed the drive fresh install of Lion (off usb jump drive) and latest updates. I haven't touched the Macbook since.

I have a similar, but different issue. When my Macbook Pro sleeps and you try to wake it, sometimes the screen stays black. If you touch the keys, or tap the trackpad, nothing. But if you swipe the trackpad, the where the cursor goes is followed by little squares that reveal the screen behind them. So if you swipe around, you can reveal the space that is requesting you to choose a user and enter your password. If you do that and click, a larger area clears and then the screen comes back. Weird. Ideas?

I am also having this problem with my MacBookPro 5,5.


Macbook goes to sleep -----> blank sreeen -----> wiggle mouse and screen saver lock appears -----> enter pass -----> takes me to a frozen GUI (frozen at the point the system went to sleep)-----> requires hard reset:


No console logs and always at the start of a Time Machine backup cycle.


I recently had a hard drive crash on my Time Machine and didn't have one attached for 2 weeks. Not 1 freeze in that time. Got new USB WD drive yesterday....bang... frozen.


This ***** Apple.
