Sleep/wake crash OSX Mavericks, Macbook Air 2013

This is it. Beautifully summarized with steps to reproduce. Your move Apple.

Is anyone here a registered developer and has downloaded the 10.9.2 beta? I would be interested to know if this sleep/wake crash is fixed.

I am also having this issue with my Macbook (purchased fall 2012) just upgraded to Mavericks about a month ago, thinking all the bugs were fixed after initial release. I am considering powering off instead of letting mac go to sleep until and update appears. I was thinking it was my laptop and not the OS. Please hurry with an update, as i just upgraded on my work desktop, and there was lots of weirdness happening with that as well. i.e., preview app is slow to load an image when it is selected and spacebar is pressed. Arghhhhhhhh!!!#$@5#261

For anyone interested, there is another large thread on this same problem.

Update : I came to a store today and push repetedly power button (to force the MBA to sleep) and any other key to wake it back up fast. No bugs occurs. So I decided to take another appointment to the Genius Bar, we will see what comes out !

Will give you update !

I have the same issue!!

Any fixes/updates yet????😢

I spoke to Apple Support two days ago with this problem. The advisor assured me that Apple was well aware of the problem and that they are still working on it. He just told me to move my sleep time up. He then said that was all Apple was giving him and that they provided no further instructions on what was causing the problem. He stated that the next update should fix this problem and to call back if it occurs again after moving the sleep timer up. The black screen of death has not occurred again yet but I'm sure it will.

This bug also occurs on my MacPro. This computer was rock solid under 10.8 & 10.6, but crashes on wake up in 10.9. There is also a delay when I put the computer to sleep.

Filip,

Same here on the Pro. The problem appears to have nothing to do with the MBA directly, it just seems to have a higher occurance of machines that suffer from it. That makes sense since closing the lid can bring the problem on immediately.

I will repeat what I mentioned way back in this thread in case it helps you. I set Energy Saver-> Computer Sleep to Never, unchecked Put hard disks to sleep when possible, and unchecked Wake for network access. Then I set the Display sleep to 1 hr. Have not had one occurrence of the problem since. I just have to sleep manually when I go somewhere or at night. This works great on the Pro and Mini. Someone tried it on the MBA and it didn't help.

I doubt it has any bearing, but I also let the screen saver pop up after 20 minutes.

I will repeat another thing I said earlier for new arrivals to the thread. Mac Minis also exhibit the same problem, MBPs and iMacs are reported to do the same also as witnessed in the other monster threads on this same topic.

Thank you, EagleTree

It has been said a few times before in this discussion but worth saying again -

PLEASE REPORT YOUR SLEEP/WAKE ISSUES TO APPLE

Chatting on a community like this is great for sharing experience and getting a bit of help... but this one is clearly a bug (or several similar bugs) hurting a lot of people (over 24,000 views of this discussion at the time of writing).

Apple may be aware of this discussion, but it is not their feedback site and it is not their bug reporting site.

Having a moan here is fine, but take the time to report it properly and we may get a fix...

This is the feedback site: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

A bit more effort, but not much, is the bug reporting site for registered developers. It is free to register and all you need do is report this bug... you don't ever need to use it again if you don't want to.

This is the bug reporting site: https://developer.apple.com/bug-reporting/

Thanks, Andy. I will do it.

Looks like Apple's now on top of it: see the other thread.

Thank you so much @richard_vd

Awesome to know that the fix is coming soon!

Same problem here, crash after wake-up. Have a 15" MBP Early 2011 with Mavericks installed 16GB and 2 SSD's. Crash randomly after waking up from sleep. Pretty annoying. This is most definitely an OS issue since non of the last 3-4 OSx in the past had this bug.
