Slow OS after waking from sleep MacBookPro Retina

More of an annoyance, but it's reproducible, so I'm posting it here so other can pitch in..


I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro Retina with 720GB SSD( 2.7GHz Core i7, 16 GB Ram). Whenever I wake it up after is has been closed, not connected to power and asleep for more than an hour or so, it becomes unusable after I open it back up.


OS is El Capitan 10.11.3


The screen displays, but the mouse pointer is painfully slow and jumps all over the screen in slow motion as I try to put the cursor in the password box to unlock it.


After I login, the whole OS in very, very unresponsive. It could take ten minutes to start a new application.


Looking at the Activity Monitor, it shows random applications using 100% of the cpu for no reason.


I have looked up other posts about this similar issue, but they seem to resolve themselves after ten seconds. The only way I can resolve mine is to restart the laptop.


One thread suggested looking at launchd to see what was set to run and note anything that had a non-zero status... I did, and here's mine..


Of note, com.apple.logd has a status of "1" and com.apple.watchdogd has a status of "-43"


Any suggestions on these statuses if they are a real issue? Or am I looking down the wrong path on this one?

Greetings DonFromCanada,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


I understand that your Mac is not waking from sleep and working as you would typically expect.


To continue troubleshooting this situation, I would suggest resetting the NVRAM on your Mac and testing the issue again.


How to Reset NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support


If the issue continues, start up your Mac in safe mode. Starting in safe mode accomplishes sever tasks including deleting caches, verifies startup disk, and attempts to repair directory issues if needed.


Try safe mode if your Mac doesn't finish starting up - Apple Support


Have a great day!

Tried the above, and it still occurs.

Seems like a well-known bug with Full hibernate mode. I seem to not be able to recover from the initial slow-down, though.


Is there a way to force the laptop into full hibernate mode (mode 3) quickly so I can do more testing quickly, rather than wait 24 hours before it kicks in? I'd like to try several things quickly in a row...


pmset looks like this:


$ pmset -g

Active Profiles:

Battery Power -1*

AC Power -1

Customer: My computer is on fire!

Apple Support: Reset the Parameter RAM (Now NVRAM).


This has been a common response for ANY Mac problem since the Mac Plus back in the 1980s. In my experience, it almost never works.


Since updating to 10.11.4 on my 2011 iMac, my machine often beachballs on wake from sleep. Sometimes it eventually stops beachballing, so that I can enter my password, but often not. I have held the power button for 8 seconds on a few occasions, to power down. Restarting takes a long time, since I work with a lot of open applications.


Today, I discovered that if I SSH into the Mac from my iPhone (I use the "Serverauditor" app for that), and kill the "distnoted" process, the beachballing stops immediately. I did that as follows:


$ ps aux | grep distnoted

_spotlight 1119 0.0 0.0 2470808 1968 ?? S Thu08PM 0:00.24 /usr/sbin/distnoted agent

billstclair 5057 0.0 0.0 2434840 680 s008 S+ 11:07AM 0:00.00 grep distnoted

billstclair 5058 0.0 0.0 2470808 1284 ?? S 11:07AM 0:00.01 /usr/sbin/distnoted agent

$ kill -kill 5058


Note that I chose the Process ID (PID) for the /usr/sbin/distnoted process for my User ID (billstclair).


I haven't tried it yet, but I think this will work just as well, and doesn't require you to choose and type a PID:


$ killall -e -kill distnoted


Of course, this will only work if you enable "Remote Login" in System Preferences/Sharing, and have an SSH client on another computer in your network.

Apr 14, 2016 5:59 AM in response to Bill St. Clair

It appears that my problem was caused by a bad USB device, either my external USB2 to USB3 hub, or the MIDI keyboard plugged in to it. I haven't yet analyzed the distinction. Killing the distnoted process makes the computer respond, but a number of hours later, my external USB DAC drops off the USB network, and the only way I've discovered to get it back is to reboot. Since unplugging the external hub, all is well. I'll discover next time I need the keyboard whether it is the source of the problem.
