Wake from sleep in 10.8.5

It's no longer instant-on. It's pretty **** slow 😟.


Anybody else experiencing this?

Failed to mention that I have a late 2012 iMac (w/Fusion drive).



Looking in the Console log I saw entries refering to hibernate - though why should a wall-powered iMac go into hibernate (in the USA)? Read the Mac computers: Progress bar appears after waking from sleep posted by Linc Davis, and it seems to indicate that evern USA iMacs are getting hibernated instead of left in sleep mode.

I am having this problem with my MacBook Pro running 10.8.5. Since the update it has started rebooting from on waking from sleep. Frustrating. I have tried SMC and PRAM reset. I have installed the 10.8.5 Combo and 10.8.5 Supplemental Updates and no change in status.


It is interesting that this reboot problem did not start immediately when I performed the original 10.8.5 update but only started later. Also, my cursor is also behaving badly. Every now and then it dissapears and then I have to pull the mouse/cursor back to the start bar and it appears again and functions normally. There is likely a link or clue to the underlying problem there....

I'm running a brand new iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core I5 that I picked up Friday night. All software is up to date and I too have the problem of it waking after being in prolonged sleep state. I haven't found any solution to the problem here other than some say their software update took care of the problem. Still must be an issue for some - this one is fresh out of the box.

My graphicis is Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB. The iMac goes to sleep in a second and wakes up quickly after it's sat a while - it's after prolonged sleep mode - like overnight - that it takes at least 30 seconds to come to life. A faint grey screen with the icons and bars come up as it "awakens". Doesn't matter if I try using the bluetooth keyboard or the USB trackball.

Sounds like you iMac is hibernating, Spooker. This was happening to my iMac before the 10.8.5 supplemental update. Are you sure there are no updates available? 10.8.5 and the supplemental update both say you have 10.8.5 installed. Force a check for updates via the Apple menu, and make sure you do that on a userid with admin privileges - I've seen updates missed when not on an admin user.
