ML issues after standby/sleep

They are thinking that WiFi is the culprit. Following the consensus there; I tried changing my Network Preferences, Advanced, to uncheck Remember Networks Joined and I deleted all the entries in the list. This has in fact allowed me to let the computer sleep and not crash on wakeup. I do have to select my Network from the Menubar Pull Down List, but this is better than shutting down every time I walk away.

I'm having a similar issue on my Mac Pro (early 2009), although I'm not using wifi. When I wake it up (but not every time--trying to narrow it down to a particular app, if possible) I'm not able to do anything. As soon as I click on an app (or an icon in the dock) I get the beachball. I can still click on the windows for various open apps, and the app name in the menu bar will change to that app, but nothing else happens. I can't force quit and am forced to do the power-button force restart. This is definitely a ML issue for me.

Same here. retina Macbook Pro with Magic mouse & WIFI.

Most times I'm unable to sign in. If I'm able to sign in, most apps aren't responsive. Activity monitor shows them in red in a state of "not responding".

Running Sublime text, Xcode, evernote, twitter, safari & Mail.

This doesn't always happen. I think it may be related to the length of sleep.

Also have the same issue withearly 2008 Mac Pro, wakes briefly from sleep then goes back into sleep and cannot wake it then have to reboot, extremely annoying.

I ended up formatting my HD and do a complete fresh install of Mountain Lion and I am no longer having the issues. Little drastic, but there must be a carryover setting from Lion that is causing a conflict. I did NOT restore from a Time Machine backup in case there was a setting or preference that was a problem.

I did have AirDisplay installed on my machine which caused issues before when sleeping in Lion, but I am not sure if that is the culprit now.

Side note: when iTunes was playing and my machine went to sleep, I did not have any issues - the HDs were still spinning because the music kept playing. Again no idea if this helps troubleshoot.

In the end, I formatted and all is right with the world ( of at least until I get all my stuff reloaded)

To those who still have this problem of Macbook Air not waking up from sleep (closed lid, for more than a few hours of sleep). I was stucked with this problem myself (on a MacBook Air mid-2012, with ML installation over Lion) and could not find a culprit. Did the SMC reset many times to get back to work (hard reset). I finally found the solution, but it implies using the terminal. It seems to be a hibernate mode problem. Mine was set to 5, when the problem was persistent. I switched to 0 through the terminal and this morning when I woke up, my Mac wake up from sleep almost as fast as me ;-) . Here are the details:

To check your hibernate mode:

In the terminal:

pmset -g

This should allow you to see what your hibernatemode status is. Mine was:

hibernatemode 5

To switch your hibernate mode to 0

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

Be careful with the consequences, though, you should check this page for more info about hibernate mode:

There is also a discussion thread here

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4149260?start=0&tstart=0

that goes into details and give several testimonies with similar issues and how the hibernatemode change has solved (most of the time) their problems. I will test myself with modes other than 0 (not the safest of all modes...) but for the moment at least, my mac is responsive...

For those who want more explanations about sleep modes and using Terminal to switch between them:

Hope that this help... Good luck

Thanks a lot...! The App SmartSlee sems to be the solution for me (at the moment). I hope Apple do something in 10.8.1 Seams to be a problem with the hibernatemode. Im lucky not have w-lan problem to. But it's nice my MBAir wake up again without force shutdown al the time...

I have tried changing the hibernate mode to 0, but for me this did NOT solve the problem. I have got the same problem as described in original post, Wifi works fine. Almost every time I awake my MacBook Pro (late 2010), I have to force shutdown and restart. Strange to me: the problem started a few days ago, the first week Mountain Lion worked well. The Problem also occurs even when I run no additional software at all. Hope there will be a solution... Thanks to everybody anyway!

I'm having the same issue. I'm running a mid-2009 MBP with a 3Ghz Core 2 Duo and 8GB RAM. Everything worked fine, even after upgrading to Mountain Lion (other than Mail sounds would stop after a while). Then I changed out the original HD that was going bad and installed a SSD drive from OWC. I did a fresh install of ML and reloaded all my software (so no clones or restores), and all my software is up to date. Now I get the spinning beach ball after waking from a long sleep. It doesn't seem to happen if I put the computer to sleep from a couple of minutes and wake it back up. But after a long sleep it happens every time. The only option is a hard reboot. My bluetooth was unrecognizable as well, but a complete shutdown and reboot fixed that (for now at least). I hope all this is fixable with a simple update!

The 10.8.1 update didn't solve the problem... Any solutions meanwhile?

Also running 10.8.1 2001 iMac 21.5". Crashes after waking up from sleep everytime.

i had to turn off sleep mode entirely, which is not really a solution. I'm concerned that Apple won't keep getting the error reports and won't fix it.

My not-waking-from-sleep issies appear to be fixed. I had two third-party kernel extensions that were loading (LogMeInSoundDriver64 and BRESINKx86Monitoring -- which was used by the Temperature Monitor app).

I deleted those a few days ago and have had no issues with the machine going into a coma at seemingly random times (but especially while it was sleep for a long period of time.)

SOLUTION for SSDs machines.

For those of you with 3RD party SSDs, this solution worked for me.

Update the firmware on your SSDs, after 10.8 something screwy happened to where the mac would not be able to communicate with the SSD, making it freeze and have to do a forced reboot. Manufacturers like OSZ and Sandisk, addressed the issue in seperate firmware updates. I just updated mine and after testing with sleeping for both 20mins and 8 hours, the freezing issue has stopped. Hopefully, this will help others as well.

Go to the manufacturers website for your SSD and update to its latest SSD firmware, reboot and it should all be better now. Goodluck!

I experienced similar issue although might be with different bits and pieces.... So I have mid 2010 Macbook Pro 13" and installed Samsung SSD 128GB PM810 along with 8GB RAM.

I never had this issue with Mountain Lion or my system until lately after 10.8.2 and my new LED TV Connected through Display Port then putting the MBP on sleep mode then the issues started. Initially was only after the MBP sleep with display port connected and I disconnect it without waking it up. Lately even sleep (closing the lid) without having any display port connectivity, will create problems when it wakes up.

The problem after waking up:

- No Bluetooth connection

- No System Preferences (looks running but the window never appear)

- No Restart or shutdown, it will just do nothing when I was trying to restart / shutdown

- No Force Quit for crashed app (system preferences)

Other than that, it is working. Wifi is on, chrome is okay, mail works, microsoft office doing just fine. I need my bluetooth connection for wireless keyboard and mouse but it just won't connect until I hard reset. Will try to update the SSD firmware if possible and see if it helps.

Also, was trying to do the hibernate mode but when I was checking it at terminal, it already shows 0.

I have had this problem on my late 2010 MBA for a few weeks. After checking several posts on this topics and trying all kinds of suggestions like:

- Turn off blue tooth

- Turn off Wifi

- Reset SMC etc.

- Change hibernate mode trough Terminal (Setting was 3, changed to 25, it didn't work)

I concluded that nothing of these worked for me. So I decided to prepare for formatting the disk and do a fresh install from abootable install drive (you have to download ML installer from the appstore again) and reinstall all apps and data from time machine.

All prepared to start and then I got a disk lock error because of my partition being encrypted with Filevault. I could not format without reverting the encryption which I had to do through Terminal. This seemed too scary and cumbersome to me so I just chose to re-install ML from the (just created) bootable USB onto my unformatted MBA.

And this worked! My MBA never freezes (this is the first day) after short sleep or overnight sleep! It also seems more snappy with improved performance. I checked the Hibernatemode setting and it changed to 0. Also my settings in Powermanagement (system preferences) were changed to default.

I guess the reinstall corrected some settings, if it turns out that the problems appear again I will do the fresh install and report back. Fingers Crossed!!
