After 10.5.2 update, "sleep" takes almost min to act

I noticed that when I choose "sleep" on the finder, it does not respond quickly like it did before I had updated. It takes almost a minute to go to bed..
Anyone know why or is it just counting sheep?

By default, Macbooks and Macbook Pros do what Apple calls Safe Sleep, which is to write the entire contents of RAM to a file whenever the system goes to sleep. This can take some time, and the Macbook should not be jostled or jarred before the sleep light starts pulsing. The actual time it takes to write the file depends on the amount of RAM, and the speed of your hard disk, and probably to some extent, on how full your hard disk is.
The idea of Safe Sleep is: if the battery goes completely flat while the system is sleeping, the system can be wakened more quickly from this memory image than by a fresh reboot.
If this seems to have changed with the 10.5.2 update - perhaps you did something in the past to disable Safe Sleep? Safe Sleep has been the default in all the Mac Intel laptops, and was actually introduced in the last iteration of the PowerBook G4.
On my Macbook - with 2G of RAM, it takes about 20 seconds to write out the 'sleepimage' file, then the sleep light starts pulsing.
Safe Sleep is also easily disabled - instructions have been posted on this forum before, or google for something like 'OS X safe sleep hibernatemode'.

  • Hot spot s not visible after latest iOS version update on my iPad please help

    hey personal hot spot is not visible after iOS latest version update on my iPad mini please help

    Hey Devinder from chd,
    For most issues with Personal Hotspot, try out the basic troubleshooting in the article below. It does talk about iPhone but the troubleshooting is the same for your iPad. If you are still having issues, let me know and I can see what else we can do after that. 
    iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203302
    Basic troubleshooting
    See if your iOS device, computer, and wireless plan all meet the system requirements for Personal Hotspot.
    Make sure Personal Hotspot is on: Tap Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Check the Internet connection on your iOS device: Tap Safari and load a new webpage.
    If one connection type doesn't work, try another. For example, instead of connecting using Wi-Fi, use USB or Bluetooth.
    Turn Personal Hotspot off and on: Tap Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
    Install the latest version of iOS.
    Reset your network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If you still see the issue, restore the iPhone.
     Take it easy,

  • Battery, Power, Deep Sleep and Spotlight problems after 10.9.4 update

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 8,1 13in (Late 2011). I updated to the latest version of Mavericks (10.9.4) and iTunes on Sunday, right after that my macbook started to goes into Deep Sleep after closing the lid, even when the battery was 80% of charge. My battery normally lasts for almost 5 hours. After it went to deep sleep, the power bottom does not respond. Also, I have noticed that spotlight process in Monitor was consuming so huge amount of resources. This problem persists in Boot Camp. There is no way to turn the machine up without plugging it to the power cord. Sometimes it charges the battery as usual, sometimes it does not recognize the battery. Suddenly, the mac goes into sleep mode while I'm using it.
    I have researching and troubleshooting in order to fix this but no solution. I have reset the PRAM and SMC. I made a backup of my files and installed Mavericks from the ground with external storage in order to erase the entire disk, no solution. I made an Internet Recovery and downgraded it to Lion, it worked for 2 hours and then I upgraded again to Mavericks (10.9.0) and the same problem came again, the upgraded to 10.9.4 and no solution at all.
    I have searched on internet and there are other people experiencing this problem but nobody is able to bring a valid solution.
    This is my battery's health:

  • After installing recent java update, computer will not sleep.

    After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update. my computer will not sleep. Does anyone else have this problem? I do have an adaptec usb2 card installed but nothing is plugged into it. Also i don't have any Ipods or external things plugged in. I have had the same setup for the past year with no problems, now it will not sleep. I have also tried repairing the permissions. Please help

    A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
    WAKE UP
    In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
    FILE CORRUPTION
    Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
    ENERGY SAVER
    If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
    -/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--
    (username is your name or System Administrators name)
    -/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
    A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
    Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
    Yours would be the 10.4.8 Combo update. Others reading, download the combo update that applies to you!
    Cheers!

  • After 10.9.6 update, laptop keeps going to sleep

    After doing the 10.9.6 updates last night, my computer keeps going to sleep, even right in the middle of typing, the screen goes black and the lights on the keyboard go off.  I have to hit a key on the keyboard or tap the touchpad to wake it back up, and re-enter my password.  I am also running os x server installed on this laptop and did that update, along with xcode 6

    When I put my rev. B Imac to sleep, it will wake up again by itself after 3-5 minutes and the fans will be running at full blast. I try to navigate around, but everything is frozen. The only way to get out of this is to manually power down the mac. I ran console and this is what it says...

  • After 10.7.4 update macbook pro won't sleep

    after 10.7.4 update, macbook pro won't sleep.

    Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
    Step 1
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter ▹ Wake for network access: uncheck. You may need to unlock the preference pane by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your administrator password.
    Step 2
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Schedule… ▹ Start up or wake: uncheck
    Step 3
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Print & Scan ▹ Open Print Queue...
    Check all printers for unfinished jobs. Deal with any you find.
    Step 4
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse or trackball, and monitor, if applicable.
    Step 5
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Enter “powerd” (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Select the powerd process and click the Quit Process button in the toobar (stop-sign icon.) In the sheet that opens, click Force Quit. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. The process will be relaunched immediately.
    Step 6
    Boot in safe mode and log in. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the Mac OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
    Step 7
    Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
    Step 8
    If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
    If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

    Why does it take almost a minute after chime for apple logo to appear in my MBP

    Have you recently replaced your drive or RAM?  If so, try resetting your PRAM.  This is a common problem after replacement.  After I replaced my drive, when I first turned my machine on I thought I screwed up the drive replacment since the Apple logo didn't come up... thankfully it eventually came up.  After resetting the PRAM, it booted as quickly as it had previously.  I've had this happen on two machines:

  • AirPlay network discovery during sleep after OS 7.0 Update

    After updating my Apple TV3 to OS 7.0 (6897.5), when it goes in to sleep it is no longer network discoverable as an AirPlay option on iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac.
    On OS 6.2 it was always showing as an AirPlay option when in sleep and would wake and play when audio/video was sent to it.
    It now manually requires waking for it be discoverable on the network for an AirPlay option.
    I have another Apple TV3 still on OS 6.2, which is discoverable during sleep and wakes when audio is sent to it, very hesitant to update now due to this issue.
    It seems like more of a feature removal than a software/hardware fault?
    Anyone else noticed this issue? Or found a fix?
    Have restored completely earlier today but the issue still se

    hi there,
    i had the same issue. (Ethernet/kable) after the AppleTV 3 updated automaticly last night.
    i solved it for me.

  • Odd sleep after 10.5.5 update

    I have noticed some strange behavior from time to time after applying the combo update to two MBP's.
    You put it to sleep, and shut the lid. If you raise the lid shortly thereafter (meaning your computer should awake), everything you hear indicates the computer is awake, but the screen is dark. You have to hard power off and power up and then things are fine..

    Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
    Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

  • After the 2.2 update my camera now takes crappy pictures

    after the 2.2 update my camera now takes crappy pictures. Is there a way to fix this? Before my Droid took great pictures not now. Help

    I have the original Motorola Droid, and my camera takes crappy pictures at a distance since the update. Images are very distorted. The camera takes a while to open. The phone now stalls when trying to locate and bring up a picture from the photo gallery. I will be getting the new Droid X in a few days, and I hope this phone does not have the same problem.

  • Macbook takes longer time to launch & log in after 10.6.4 update

    After 10.6.4 update,
    my macbook took quite a long time to launch the log-in screen page.
    Not only that, upon logging in, the dock, icons & toolbars took long than usual to appear as well.
    Though, it's just a minor problem, but anyone else is experiencing this problem?

    I have experienced slow loading time even after a reboot with 10.6.4.
    Additionally, Flash programs are not loading in my Safari 5; experienced problems accessing my new phone upgrade options on the Verizon wireless website and some games will not load.
    Also when I mouse over drop down menus on the Verizon wireless website, the screen appears to bulge before returning to a "normal" view.
    I'm ready to backtrack to 10.6.3 and Safari 4!!!

  • G4 Laptop stuck on apple screen after 10.4.11 update

    Laptop wont get past apple screen at start up after software update installed 10.4.11 from 10.4.10
    Any advice or suggestions?

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:

    If you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed 10.4.11 and Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 uses Safari 3.0.4 which is not a beta. If Safari 3.0.4 on 10.4.11 is not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
    Moreover, trying to revert to Safari 2 when running 10.4.11 can have repercussions, as Safari 3.0.4 uses a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail and Dashboard Widgets etc also rely.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Two such add-on that have been frequently mentioned here for causing such problems are Piclens and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them.
