El Capitan Frozen After Sleep

I have a 2015 macbook and have been running into similar issues. I have had it for about 5 months. I've reset SMC once, but am not convinced the other recommended actions will make any difference, as wake time is random.

At this point, as an experiment, I have disabled blue tooth b/c I have no need for that connectivity. My machine has a screen saver and file vault enabled. At home I have rather old airport as wifi-base and time machine backup (half suspicious an interrupted backup is causing problems).

System Version: OS X 10.11.5 (15F34)

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)

Waking from sleep is problematic. It may be instant, 20 seconds, or 5 minutes or longer. Infuriating can only begin to describe this situation, as I have no idea if I have brick or can do work when commuting. I may work on my machine at home, close the lid to fetch a coffee and work a bit from whatever coffee-shop only to enjoy my brick will drinking coffee. Or have something to do.

Or, after walking home, open the lid had have it take 7 minutes to wake. Access to power makes no difference. If I plug in power, I get a chime, but the box is otherwise dead to me and I get to wait until the device decides to power up the keyboard and screen...

Notably my old 'cheese-grater mac pro' is working on el-capitan and has no issues waking. I'd rather not try to use this as a mobile device.

One other possible note of interest: I am running a couple IDEs (certainly not xCode, ugh). I noticed that the battery would drain down if a debug session was active, as though the system never got around to suspending the network tasks.

Resume from sleep was just as problematic, but notably I could leave home with 85% battery and on wake have 44%. The battery doesn't drain that fast while I am actively working on the 'book.

I have an iMac late 2015 and is having the same problem. I called support 4 times and can't seem to resolve it. Have you had an luck since your last posting?

I don't know if my problem fits yours (assuming from the email that you directly replied to me).

No issue resuming, after a week running my laptop with bluetooth disabled.

Actually, I don't quite know how to say this, but the problem has suddenly disappeared on it's own. So weird. I haven't done anything at all. Haven't updated any software or anything. As quietly as the problem arrived....it left! I have no explanation. Perhaps some corrupted file or something got deleted or overwritten or something. Because I stuff doesn't just cure itself. So, I'm hoping that this doesn't come back! I've been not freezing up for a couple of weeks now. I hope everyone else gets their problem resolved too. Sorry I can't tell you all what went right.

With 10.11.5 I get a freeze EVERY time my MacBook Pro (mid 2009) goes to sleep (closing the lid, for instance).

This NEVER occurred before 10.11.5

Something is wrong.

To everyone: If you are still having trouble with OS 10.11.5 freezing up when put to sleep, they just came out with an update to 10.11.6. I suggest everyone update.

Do you know if this update addresses this problem? I have been reading that this update is freezing up MBP's and I am a little nervous about updating it.

I'm at least semi-convinced this issue was affecting my MacBook Pro through VMware. I contacted VMware, they appear "unaware" of any ongoing or existing issues. However, removing Fusion 8 Pro fixed the problem, at least temporarily. I finally did a complete wipe/format/reinstall and the issue did not reappear until I reinstalled Fusion 8. Reset NVRAM and SMC, issue returned after launching Fusion 8, especially with Unity mode (Coherence for Parallels users). I submitted a bug report to VMware but who knows if/when/how they'll fix it.**

Removing Fusion 8 alone did not resolve the issue, it required a reset of the SMC before the issue went away. You may want to reset the NVRAM, too, for good measure.

I've done a second wipe/format/reinstall of OS X with 10.11.6 and the issue has not reappeared. I'm not willing to chance testing it with Fusion again, though.

**My experience with VMware's technical support for Fusion was nothing short of abysmal. Should you contact them, I wish you the best of luck.

I've been working with Apple but still have the problem, even after the most recent update. It freezes after sleep. I've been disabling sleep, which is not a great solution.

Makes no difference in my situation.

This affected my early 2011 MBP every time it slept or I shut the lid, but after the 10.11.6 update (day it was released) the problem stopped for one week, then returned for one day, but has not happened again since. It seems whatever was going on is something in the OS. Hopefully further debugging will resolve the issue for good.

I had similar issues the whole time I was in the 10.11.5 update. Now that I have updated to 10.11.6 I seem to be OK. Going in and out of sleep fine (fingers crossed). I hope it's all over now. I'll let you know if it isn't.

Upgraded to 10.11.6 on 29/7/16.

Set Energy Saver back to 30 mins ( It was set to NEVER since May to avoid the forced reboot every morning).

System woke up from sleep today without a problem.

Is this all related to the Fusion Drive?
