Wake from sleep-->Login-->Back to Sleep-->Login. Why?

I recently purchased a MacBook Air Ultimate (i7, 8GB, 500GB), which I love, but logging in after sleep is very annoying. The sequence for the problem is as follows:


1) MBA wakes from sleep

2) I login, everything's fine for a few seconds, then machine goes back to sleep

3) I login again and no issues afterwards.


I'd like to login once after the machine goes to sleep, not twice. Anyone got a thought on how to fix?


So far, I've run OnyX (Mountain Lion version) and repaired permissions. Any ideas to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

imalexbell, I'm not sure that the rest of us are experiencing the same error that you did. Correct me if I'm wrong, but reinstalling the OS (like jonmc12 did) should fix the problem if it were just a corrupted cache file. And this morning I went through and ran the Disk Utilities "verify/repair permissions" and "verify/repair disk" and the issue is still there.

I have been experiencing the same issue here, it happens only once after I wake from sleep. It does looks like other users have also been experiencing this issue. Here is a list of other threads reporting similar issues.

Hopefully Apple will see this and acknowledge this as a known issue.
