sleep wake problem with Yosemite on my Mac Mini Mid 2012

I have a problem with Sleep Wake on a Mac Mid 2012 Mac Mini running 10.10, I was also a beta test user, and had seen the same problem before the official release. After the Mac Mini goes to sleep, and you try to wake it, it sits frozen, you can not enter your password, after about 5 minutes, the Mac reboots, and you can enter your password, the keyboard works again. I am using the Apple bluetooth MC184LL/A wireless keyboard. This same problem is occurring with the Logitech K760 bluetooth solar keyboard. I am now going to try only a standard USB keyboard, to see if the problem is somehow related to bluetooth? I been sending the reports to Apple about this problem since I started the beta testing from the start of the Yosemite beta test. It seems this is low on the list or is somehow related to my machine only? I have never had any problems with my Mac Mini, and have never done anything to the device (I never opened the Mac).

Any one else with the same problem? Thanks!

My late 2012 Mac Mini, as explained three posts before this, still has the problem it had before updating to 10.10.1. I have it set to go to sleep if inactive for 10 minutes, and there is no problem waking up by simply pressing any key on the keyboard or clicking on the mouse within 2 or so hours of doing so, or as long as I can still see the light come and go. But when the light totally shuts off (I don't know how long it has to be before it does) that's when I have to lightly press the power button to bring it back. It didn't have this issue with Mavericks.

I have exactly the same problem. Cannot type password after Waking up from Sleep. Only way out is forced reboot. After that the unit starts in Safe mode ( bar scrolling at the bottom of Apple logo).

Will phone Apple tonight and if they solve it I'll list the fix here.

Will follow this thread in the hope someone gets there faster...

What a c..k up by Apple !..Samsung must be really happy reading this..


Update 21st October : : temporary fix seen in other forums : try to awake computer from Sleep using a brief touch on the power button, ie NOT by moving the mouse or touching the keyboard. Worked for me after full night on Sleep..

Two things here : looks like the problem is not computer Sleep but Screen Sleep, so not much gain from setting computer to Never Sleep as the screen will lock anyway after the set time ..😝

I do agree there's still something funny going with display detection. I can sometimes see one or both screens flicker a signal briefly (wake from black, background for a sec, black for two secs, background + login) during wake from sleep.


For instance this morning, after tapping the keyboard, both my displays remained back for a solid 15 secs, then the big one displayed the fuzzy graphic of yosemite's default wallpaper, while the second display remained black. Additionally the language selector was missing from the upper right corner.


Now, I have not used that default yosemite wallpaper since the first day I had yosemite beta 1. Why would that suddenly pop up this morning?


The good news is that for the majority of people the external speaker thing seems to have been fixed; since 10.10.1 beta or release; but clearly there is still something lingering as evidenced by some of the last posts. Really puzzling.

After applying 10.10.1, my Mac Mini still cannot be waken up. My connections are pretty simple: a Logitech Unifying to keyboard and mouse and HDMI to Sony's TV. I checked the error log and before Mac Mini stops to work, these are always the last couple of exceptions from system:


acvpnagent: A network interface has gone down

acvpnagent: ...

acvpnagent: ...

discoveryd: Basic DNSResolver UDNS Send():

I tried to contact Apple to provide this information but the waiting line seems to be long...

Just wanted to add to the discussion. I am running an early 2010 MacBook Pro with Yosemite and am having the same Sleep Wake problem. At least that's what I think it is. it never seems to generate a crash report. I have an external monitor (Samsung) and an external drive (Seagate). Also an A1016 wireless keyboard and a Wacom tablet. I have upgraded to 10.10.1 and no change.

On an Mid 2011 IMAC running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 same issue I had high hopes Apple would have addressed it with the 10.10.1 release. Heartbroken again.

I experienced a similar behavior. Problem solved by disabling password login at wake up (System Preferences/Security & Privacy/General).


Apparently the issue in my case did not have to do with wake up, but with login right after wake up. Solved, but it is a bit annoying to leave my laptop without password protection.
