sleep wake problem with Yosemite on my Mac Mini Mid 2012

This fix worked for me as well. Thanks!

So I am next.

MacMini 2011 with Yosemite, for three month works with no issues with waking.

After this weekend, I am not able to wake it up by mouse moving, WOL packet, or any other network issue.

Quite frustrating for HTPC 😟

The same on my side. Mac mini late 2012. Bought extra an USB Keyboard and reinstalled the whole Mac from scratch. Tried to get help via apple bug reporter. No success so far. Thought apple is a top brand. I'm worried about this. At least if they would let us know that they working on it.

Still not fixed. How long has it been?

As I reported in the past... I have still the same problem and since the newest public Beta (10.10.4) it's now more present than on the final build of 10.10.3.

Well, this looks like that Apple working on it, but it's still unacceptable and make me crazy, because I need to restart my Mac again and again and again and again... The only thing who keeps me happy a bit is, that Mac OS will reopen all the applications and other things at the last status when I leave my computer.

There do seem to be many versions of the issue. Mine are on a MBP; upon waking, I have short-term function, but then everything locks up quickly with each increasing click. I can't open anything, and have to do a hard reset.

At work I am wired, elsewhere I am wireless. I noticed that the issue never happened at work, but consistently happened wireless, and I realized that it was not just at my home network.

For the past several days, I have made sure to disable wifi before sleeping, then wait briefly upon waking to re-enable it, and the problem has not recurred. So far so good.

Same exact issue on my MacBook Air (2015) running 10.10.3. Wake from deep sleep allows a few clicks and then a moderately deep freeze where trackpad allows cursor movement but applications all not responding. Can get to the Finder to try a restart but that invariably fails usually with a blank screen and movable cursor but no restart. Power button hard restart is the only option at that point. Very annoying. Will try disabling "handoff" in the general system pref pane as suggested earlier in this thread and then disabling wifi before sleep to see if either solve the problem.

This thread is almost a YEAR OLD AND I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH A BRAND NEW 2015 MACBOOK!

I step away from the mac, it goes to sleep, I come back and press a key. The screen lights up, the password enter field and user account picture display. But after I enter my password and press return - NOTHING. The everything on the screen freezes except the clock and the cursor. RARELY, the "cancel" and "switch user" buttons at the bottom of the screen will still respond to the cursor, by highlighting thems elves when the cursor moves over them. However, they are still unresponsive to any mouse click.

This happens ALL. THE. TIME. I've spent all my free time for the past 2 weeks, re-installing the os, wiping the drive, tinkering with networking and energy settings, using the terminal command line to tune what can't be done in the gui.. And every combination thereof. NOTHING WORKS.. it's unacceptable for a brand new $1800 piece of hardware.

I don't know what has happened to Apple. stuff that used to just work, my Apple TV, my iPhone, they all have these weird "issues" the past couple years on a level I haven't had to deal with since the early 2000s! No matter what people say. If Steve jobs had this problem he would've smashed the prototype on the floor before he'd release it to the customer.

Im getting sick of thsee unaddressed glitches.

Try disabling bluetooth on your new MacBook AND on ever other computer within bluetooth range.

Same problem stil exists on my late Mac mini 2014...!! in sleep mode trying to wakeup black screen have to reboot .

In the 'Energy Saver Pane'l in System Preferences. Try setting 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never' and 'Display Sleep' to 'Never'. Leave all other Energy Saver settings unchecked.

I was constantly plagued with sleep wake up kernel panics on my 2012 Mac Mini Server (new 12-14) with Yosemite......until I did as above and unchecked 'Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer' in the 'Bluetooth Advanced Settings'. I also turned off Bluetooth in the other 3 Macs in the studio and put everything on USB.

I Tried this tonight and will see how it goes. if the system stops crashing upon wake from sleep, this will at least identify the cause to me. But it's not a solution. In fact, it may finally drive me to take it to the Apple Store a demany my money back. I'm tired of this issue. 1, i need Bluetooth, and 2, This is a multiuser machine and all I hear from everyone is how much they miss the old "silver" laptop - because of this BS issue with the hang on wake login screens. Everyone considers this machine "broken," and regardless of how well it performs otherwise, they see it at this point now as a defective product. And I don't blame them for it. I Can't believe Apple gotten to point with qaqc where such a blatant fault with the basic operation of the machine is allowed to go on over a year unresolved. I cannot understand how other users tolerate this issue, because afaik EVERY new MacBook must have the same problem.

Well it's been one day since I've unchecked "bluetooth devices wake this computer," and NO hangs awaking from sleep.

I really don't know what to make of this. I am happy the issue SEEMS to have stopped crashing my macbook, but at the same time a bit annoyed that such a simple function, which is one that is also useful for me when I dock the macbook, could have been the cause of so many problems.

Would love to hear what the Engineers' discussions about this issue sound like. I can't imagine this would allow to be such a problem for over the past year without a fix — unless QAQC really has gotten that bad at Apple...

Spoke too soon.

As others have stated, disabling bluetooth devices wake from sleep did REDUCE the hangs on wake, but did not eliminate.

In particular, the problem is still 100% REPRODUCIBLE when switching users via fast user switching at log in screen upon waking.

Does anyone have a solution for THAT?
