Closing top does not put MBP in sleep

Hi there,
My MBP does not auto-sleep when I close the top. any clues how to fix it?
Cheers.

It has been suggested elsewhere that you have to be careful not to bump the MPB until the sleep light comes on (pulses), because the sudden motion detector can prevent sleep from fully engaging. Safe sleep can take about 5 seconds to completely transact.
Has also been reported that unplugging usb peripherals will interrupt the process of sleep engaging.

Computer does not put itself to sleep when used in lid-closed mode

Hi. I'm having a small problem when using my macbook pro with the LED display, lid closed and with external keyboard and mouse. If I leave the computer unattended, the display goes to sleep at the time specified in system settings under energy saver. The computer, however, does not go to sleep - the white power indicator remains solid and noises for new email etc can still be heard.
I should probably just try to remember to put it to sleep manually but I keep forgetting. Does anybody know what settings I need to adjust?

I tried cycling the old battery many times, and the computer would still shut down unexpectedly instead of going to sleep when it ran out of power. I got a free replacement from the supplier [http://myworld.ebay.com/cbkusaelectronics>, but I have cycled this new battery twice now, and it still does not go to sleep when it runs out of power. The capacity of the battery is fine (4.9 Ah), and the timing calibration seems fine as well. I have two older batteries from NewerTech and they allow sleep every time, so I think my computer is fine. Can anyone enlighten me about the cause of this problem? Does my battery lack some 'sleep battery' cell in it for use after the other 4 cells discharge? Or does my battery lack a chip that communicates with the computer? Is there any hope of getting this battery to support sleep when discharged?
Has anyone else seen this problem consistently in a brand of battery? Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheaper battery that does not exhibit this problem? I have been happy with NewerTech, but they cost over $130.
(I only paid $44 plus $10 shipping, so I probably got what I paid for. It is maybe still worth it to have a high capacity battery for such a low cost, but I can't rely upon it in those last few minutes or I may lose work.)

Energy saver does not put computer to sleep

i have a new 15 inch macbook pro running 10.6.4. When the energy saver (i have checked all the proper buttons putting computer to sleep after 5 minutes of non use) puts the computer to "sleep" it actually does not sleep...it appears to sleep but the sleep light says illuminated (instead of pulsing) and then eventually the computer battery is drained and the computer needs a hard restart. All other sleep methods properly put it to sleep from choosing from the apple menu to shutting the lid...I assume there might be some program that is running in the background but when i look at console activity i see nothing noted...any thoughts as to how to solve this problem? thanks

You might try a SMC reset:

Not putting mbp to sleep when closing screen, possible?

Dear All,
I was wondering whether it is possible to close the screen without putting the MacBook Pro to sleep but instead having applications running or listening to music etc. Is it possible to adjust the settings for that? I haven't found anything in System Preferences, yet.
I would appreciate your help,
Jerome

Ya my blue tooth mouse works well for waking it up into clamshell mode, even though that's not what I was shooting for. I just want to turn of the silly mouse...LOL
The problem is with the clamshell, unless you have an external monitor attached you can not visually see anything to restart what ever application stopped when you closed the lid.

Energy saver will not put Mac to sleep

I have a new Intel Mac mini. I am running off an external drive (MiniStack2). The drive was formatted and then had data transferred from old G4. The internal drive, when used as a start-up disk, functions fine. The external drive will not enter sleep mode (screen turns off, but not HD). The G4 had similar problem. Not sure why one drive as start-up drive and other does not. I have quit all active processes and tried every set of options - the machine will not put HD to sleep.
Is there a plist or other file I must reload? I am certain this is a software issue. Problem in 10.4.7 and 10.4.8 (and 10.4.x on G4)

My new mac mini with Maverick does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or Apple-Sleep mode.

Hi.
I have my new mac mini with Maverick that does not go to deep sleep even if i press power button or menu Apple-Sleep mode. He goes only to something like stand-by (power lid is on; after i turn off and then turn on the power he does not wake up just starting). I tried "sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X", tried mode 0,1,3, and even 25. nothing helps. he goes to deep sleep (when all data on HDD) only first time after i change hibernatemode couple times and force it to sleep. Today i even tried to force it to sleep (menu Apple-Sleep mode) and NOT turn off the power for whole night, in the morning he is in this "stand-by" mode anyway.
Could anyone help me please? i need it sleep but don't want to keep my power on for whole night.

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

My MBA does not start up from sleep

My MBA 13" mid 2013 (Mavericks) does not start up from sleep at times, or at least is very slow (1-2minutes)
As far as i remeber the only thing installed fairly resent is Virual Box.
It does connect to my iPhone when its connected to via USB but the sceen stays black.
Anybody else with this problem?

Hi bryan808-
It could be that the failure and installation of the update are simply a coincidence.
Back up. Then try removing all PCI cards and disconnect all external devices except your monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If that configuration will wake from sleep then start adding devices and/or cards one at a time until you find the culprit that keeps your machine from waking.
If you are really running a G4 you will have better luck posting in the appropriate section of that forum: Ctegory: Power Mac G4

Technically, to make the function keys work you don't need to change the second box to dash. I don't know why I gave that advice, but it isn't necessary. I guess I said that simply because that's what I have it set to.
The reason there are two boxes is so that you can set Exposé to using both the function keys and the mouse. For example, if I have +All Windows+ set to F9 and Secondary Mouse Button, then it will show all open windows if I click F9 or right-click. That is why you actually don't need to have the second boxes for any of these set to dashes. You could set them to your mouse buttons, or if you wanted you could set the first box of any of these to any function key, as long as it isn't set to the same one as the key you want to use for your shortcuts within FCE.
I hope this made sense, I realize that I might not have explained it very clearly.

What do you mean 'does not ship unless he closed' ? What are you trying to do with your iPad, and what happens when you do it ?
If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then do you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer ?

HT1688 camera on 4s , i have downloaded all pics and their is still 129 pics that the lap top does not recognize? how can i download these pics?

i have just downloaded 407pics from my 4s. i turned off phone then turn on after 3-4 min. I looked at Camera to ensure that all pices were gone and their is still 129 photos and 29 videos ( no Album) . when i then plugged the Phone back in to download these pics the lap top does not recognize any pics left on the phone?
Help!!!

Your photos will not be touched, but your computer might recognize the photos again after that.
copied from this article:
A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
You can also try another way to import your photos:

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in. I want to use it with an HTML table generator tool, but the tool is looking for commas. The Export to CSV exports it as a spreadsheet with all the formatting removed, and no commas.
Here is the html table tool:
http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php

Numbers '09 create CSV files with comma separated values if and only if your system is using decimal period.
If the system is using decimal comma, the CSV files are created using semi-colon as separator.

Why DDL during SELECT is possible. Or why SELECT does not put a table lock?

This is a question to people who really knows Oracle internals or/and RDB theory.
(The question is relocated from another thread for not hijacking on that's original question.)
Why DDL during SELECT is possible? Or why SELECT does not put TM 2 Row Shared lock on table(s)?
This not locking causes a possibility while one session is running a long select, another can truncate and even drop table(s) that are being read by the first session.
I think, humbly assume, that Oracle does not put TM 2 lock on tables, that are being simply SELECTed, by some significant technical reason. But I do not know this reason. If somebody knows please shed a light.
Also, if you know that this behavior is totally correct from perspective of RDB theory, please explain me.
I'll try to explain my point.
It is a matter of data consistency and integrity that is supported in Oracle everywhere except this place.
a) If one session is reading data from moment T and other session changes data on its way at moment T1, the first session wont read that changed data, it will read the data that was there on moment T.
This is declared as Read Consistency principle.
b) If one session is changing data, and another session tries to truncate or drop table - the second session will fail with error ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified.
This is declared as Data Integrity principle.
c) But why not to follow the above principles in case when one session reads data and another session tries to truncate or drop table (or do other DDL operations)?
It is counter-intuitive. Why not to put TM 2 (SS) lock during SELECT execution that would prevent DDLs on this table?
What I only can assume is that this is only because some technical difficulty or limitation.
What is this limitation or other reason in favor of which Oracle sacrificed consistency in this case?

Aman,
There was no need to clarify how DML lock works, I know that.
Also I know that in Oracle a Select does not lock neither table rows nor table itself.
The reason I mentioned it because you brought up the word change which is far better suited for DML's than DDL's as the former has a requirement to have its Undo preserved.
Again, my question was why Select does not protect itself by locking table(s), partitions and indexes?Protect from what? There is nothing wrong with doing a select. What would happen with a select doing a lock on the table before being executed in its entirety (forget DDL and DML altogether for a moment) ? State one good reason that there should be a lock for the select. If it has to, it would be always isn't it?
The keyword here is concurrency and that's what is the best when the number of locks obtained are lesser at non-required operations. A select doesn't change anything that's why in Oracle, there is no read-level lock.I am not saying about row locks while reading. They are not needed because Undo resolves concurrency.Only in the case of DML where the change is still active and the buffers are dirty. With a DDL, its an implicit commit.
I am asking why Select does not enqueue one, only one lock per object that participates in the Select?Again, my question back to you is, what good you would get from it? What purpose it would solve?
It is not very expensive, I suppose. But it would protect from DDLs that can destroy the Select's result set. You have seen in your system and in my demo(and that's what the the question was on the other thread also) that the result remains intact and its not a behavior from now. Its the same since the time I have started learning Oracle. Can you explain that why you think that the result of select statement would be wrong for a drop table? I believe, its been stated repeatedly that if the select has no requirement to look back the table, it would get completed. Only if the select needs to access the table again, it would fail. So even if we consider your explanation, there is no wrong result shown at all. Once the session encounters that the table is dropped for the statement, the execution stops right away. So where is the destroyed result?
Yes, it is less dangerous when Select does not lock table comparing with what would happen with DMLs in such case (that is why DMLs protect themselves by TM 3), it affects only the Select and its consumer, but still ... I don't understand this Oracle's decision. What is a reasoning behind it?.As I said, to improve concurrency.
Aman....

Can not delete emails and tool bar at top does not change over from safari. HELP

If you hold the command key down (the one with the ⌘ on it) and hit the + key you can make the fonts larger. Might help out, I know as I've gotten up there in years I've had to use it more and more
In the mean time while twtwtw mulls this over, can you supply any further information? Did the system crash or didi anything change before you started having the problem? Are you really running 10.5.8 as your profile says?
We'll start with those for now,
