Deep sleep (hibernate mode) instead sleep

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem with my macbook. When the battery reach 5% left, I get the usual warning. But if I continue to use my macbook, it doesn't go in sleep mode but in deep sleep mode when the battery reach 0%. And I'm pretty sure that's not the good behaviour because in the calibration guide from apple, it says
"At this point, save your work.  Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low, the computer will automatically go to sleep."
I've already checked the hibernation mode. The value is 3. Wich is safe sleep.
Thank you.

Unfortunately, this problem seems to have begun shortly after I installed 10.6.1
but only seems to affect a Canon LiDE 200 scanner (other USB devices are fine).
And as others have reported, it doesn't happen every time - I can scan for 3 or
4 days in a row, and then not be able to scan. For example, I scanned 2
documents today before dinner, put my iMac to sleep for a few hours, and woke it
after dinner - and couldn't scan.
The only reliable solution is a restart, which I really don't want to do, since
I have many other apps running. I tried unplugging the scanner, put the system
to sleep, then wake it, and plugging the scanner back in, but no difference.
I used to have this scanner on a powered USB hub, but recently began to plug it
into a port on the back of the iMac - but again, same results (no scanning).
Any idea if this is the beginning of a failure in the USB part of the system
board? Or a failure of the scanner? Or bad Canon driver software? It's really
frustrating . . .
Thanks for any suggestions you-all may have . . .

  • FYI: switching between SLEEP Mode and HIBERNATE Mode on Powerbooks 5.8

    The current 15" Powerbooks (DL Superdrive) will enter hibernate mode if the battery is very low on power.
    To always use Hibernate Mode instead of Sleep Mode:
    Launch terminal and enter
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1
    It will take a little longer to hibernate/wake a Powerbook compared to sleeping. Waking has to be done by pushing the power button.
    To disable Hibernate Mode completely, in terminal enter:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
    To turn back your PB to standard behaviour (first sleep - hibernate if battery is low on power), in terminal enter:
    sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

    So it's basically the same as PC based laptops. Sleep or suspend mode brings the computer back up faster but if it loses power while sleeping any unsaved work is lost. Hibernate writes the files to disk or RAM before shutting down so the work isn't lost if the battery drains out.

  • My iMac won't deep sleep/hibernate after last update

    I use my iMac almost everyday (sometimes except of weekends) and one of first things I did when I bought it I somehow turned on hibernation function which I use on my MacBook (RAM->HDD and power off). It's very useful for me since the next day I get everything where I left it and it uses no energy during the night.
    Yesterday I finally had to reboot my iMac for some reason and decided it would be a good time to make updates which needed the OS restart anyway - it was one Safari update and I think one OS update. After my iMac rebooted and I pressed power button - instead of showing the screen in gray and progress bar of saving RAM to HDD my screen turned off and I could turn on my Mac by just pressing any key on the keyboard - which means it just went to sleep mode - not "deep sleep" or "hibernate".
    I don't remember how I made hibernation work on my iMac. I tried the "pmset -a hibernatemode 1" trick, few apps like InsomiaX, SmartSleep (showing "hibernate only"), Deep Sleep widgets but none of them works. Do you know any other way to turn on deep sleep/hibernation mode on my desktop mac?
    PS. "pmset -g" returns:
    Active Profiles:
    AC Power -1*
    Currently in use:

    My connection works OK but I have the same problem you describe occasionally. Seems to be an intermittent problem with the HDMI socket in my PB.

  • Help: Macbook goes into deep sleep instead of sleeping

    Any time my Mac is supposed to go into sleep, like when I leave it alone for 15 mins or close the lid, it goes into deep sleep (hibernates). How do I fix this?
    Also, it started happening after I changed the starup disk from Windows to OS X through the boot camp control panel in Windows.

    Just reset the SMB following these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 and still having the same problem. However I realized two key things:
    The computer goes into Deep Sleep mode whenever I tell it to Sleep (Even if I use the Sleep button in the Apple menu)
    The above only happens when the power adaptor is plugged in. When running on batteries Sleep seems to work properly
    While typing this up I just realized that a widget I have called Deep Sleep for dashboard might be causing my problems, and sure enough... it is. Apparently there is a setting on there that lets you make your Mac's "regular" sleep mode Deep Sleep and I probably turned this on without realizing it. For anyone who's reading this I'll try to keep you posted on if this fixed the problem or not... if I don't post anything else on here you can assume it's fixed. Watch out if you use the Deep Sleep widget

  • MacBook won't hibernate (deep sleep)

    I've noticed that recently when my MacBook completely runs out of battery, it just shuts off. I also tried to go into deep sleep by running the dashboard widget DeepSleep, but that doesn't work correctly; it just turns off the screen but keeps running. It used to go into the deep sleep mode just fine both by running out of battery and by the dashboard widget. What can I do?

    I'd like to second this issue. This is with the latest model MacBook (7,1) 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo.
    On all of our older MacBooks, when you get to a low battery, it will give you a warning. If you run the battery completely down, you can still plug it in and it will awaken as normal. If you STILL don't plug it in, it will awake from "hibernate" mode - a gray screen with a progress bar on the bottom. I've had a MacBook awake like this after being drained for months. This is due to the computer saving the current state onto the hard drive.
    Unfortunately, our new MacBook does none of this. This is very disheartening as it's clearly not the correct behavior.
    Running pmset -g yields the following:
    Active Profiles:
    Battery Power -1*
    AC Power -1
    Currently in use:
    hibernatemode 3
    halfdim 1
    acwake 0
    lidwake 1
    sleep 10
    disksleep 10
    sms 1
    hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
    ttyskeepawake 1
    displaysleep 5
    Has anybody found a fix to this issue, or do I have a bad laptop?

  • Deep sleep (hibernate) never comes back

    Hi,
    Since Installing Lion (10.7.1) and upgrading VMware fusion to version 4 deep sleep never comes back. My computer stalls at the "white-grey" screen.
    When I had Snow Leopard + Fusion 3.x everything worked fine.
    This happens when the VM is running. If the VM is suspended everything works fine.
    Obviously I already started a support request with wmware, but they gave only general suggestions and this didnt really solve the problem.
    I have tried pmset -g hibernatemode 1, 5, 25.
    The last value works a little bit better.
    I'd like to know if somebody stumbled across this same problem.

    I hate when nobody pings... well, I was passing by and found this today.. I have a kind of a similar problem.. but check if it helps you, if you still needed of course...

  • 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.

  • Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change

    Hello. To get right to the chase, I have this envy 15 series laptop. It came with a 768GB hdd, which I upgraded to an SSD (512GB one) Recently, I decided to downgrade the storage back to the original hdd the laptop came with. I was obviously expecting my system's performance to decrease, especially with boot times and what not, but I was also expecting the performance to be the same as what it was when I originally received my laptop, more or less. However, this has not been the case. The laptop's performance has greatly suffered after reinstalling the *originaly hdd this laptop came with* Issues: Boot up times are ridiculously slow now. I mean, so slow that I figure I should go downstairs and have a drink while I wait for it to boot slow. It was never even remotely this slow, before or after upgrading to my ssd. When the pc goes to sleep, it does not wake up. Perhaps it would wake up if I left it alone for a few hours, but I'm not willing to do that, and no one should be. I'm also speaking literally right now. I have to force my laptop off and then turn it on normally in order to boot back from "sleep" mode. I've since had to turn off automatic sleep. If I close the lid to let my laptop hybernate, it does not recover. When I turn it on, it looks like it will return from hypernate, but it does not. It turns itself off. When I turn it on again, it boots normally, but it does so as if I had shutdown the pc and then booted back up. It takes windows a long time to login, and get everything running so that the pc runs normal. None of this is normal. This pc has absolutely no excuse to be running this slow. It never has, and it only started after switching back to my hdd. What I did: I cloned my HDD onto an SSD. In case it matters, I used Acronis true image to do it. Last night, I switched back, and used the same software to clone my SSD back into my HDD. I'm not sure if this is relevant, but there you go. I used sector writes to clone the SSD back into the HDD. I think I did the same to clone the HDD into the SSD the first go around, as I seem to recall having issues with the automatic clone last time as well as this time, but I'm not 100% positive. Troubleshooting steps I've taken: I first ran a complete chkdsk /r in order to fix any problems, and then allow me to extend my C drive for all of the free space my disk now had, due to cloning a smaller drive. I then did a full defrag and optimize on my disk. Finally I ran winsat to recheck my hw's performance, and let windows know that I no longer had an SSD but rather an HDD. This turned superfetch back on, and I confirmed that it was now running again. I'm not really sure what else to do.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-j171nr Notebook and issues with Freezing/Crashing in sleep or hibernate mode after hardware change. Here is a link on performance issues. I recommend to restore the BIOS defaults.You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which has helped others. I hope this helps. Thanks.

  • Sleep and very deep sleep mode.

    Just got a new 27' iMac and something seems wrong with the sleep mode.
    When the iMac is not used for between 10 minutes to 6 hours it goes into a sleep mode where moving the mouse or typing a key brings it to life within a few seconds and the screen looks the way it was when the iMac went to sleep.
    HOWEVER if I leave the iMac for longer i.e. overnight then moving the mouse does nothing, I have to type on the keyboard. This starts the iMac waking up but it goes through a full boot-up i.e. grey screen and apple logo etc. The same type of boot up as when you push the power button on.
    Is this correct, as my older iMac 24' just goes into the light sleep.
    Is this correct for the newer hardware or is something wrong.
    Thanks

    all set to default,
    surely hdd sleep will occur fairly soon ie after an hour, this deep sleep only occurs after about 10 hours.
    I am the only user so I don't have a log in screen, (I hope i am understanding you correctly)
    whatever was open when you finished is lost after the deep sleep, the same as if you have turned it off but the only difference is that the keyboard wakes it up, no need to press the rear mounted power switch.
    Thanks

  • IPod switches off completely instead of sleep or deep-sleep

    Hello,
    I searched in this group and other sources but found no help.
    My iPod (4th generation with click-wheel) works well when i hear music. But when I pause it switches off completely after 1 minute. it can only be awaked with a reset (buttons menu & enter). But then he forgot the position of last song or audiobook. It seems not possible to put him into normal sleep or deep-sleep mode. Even if I switch it off by hand, it can only be brought back through a reset.
    I use the current software and did a recover, this didn't solve the problem.
    Does anyone know this behaviour?
    Thanks a lot,
    Michael

    Hi,
    yes, I found a solution in the meantime!
    After I had the effect the first time I backed all the music & calendar files from the ipods directories to my local harddisk. After installing the ipod firmware I played back the files - and had the same errors.
    My last solution was to format the ipod harddrive and after installing the firmware again I did not recover the backed up files - and since this time it works well again.
    I had to freshly import all my mp3's with the itunes software but that was woth it.
    HTH,

  • Sleep/Hibernate Modes in Win7

    Hey guys, Im wondering if there is some secret to using these power save modes.  I was under the impression that Hibernate mode would shut down the PC, but keep the current work station saved.  Whether i use sleep or hibernate, my screen goes black, but all light and fans in my case stay on.  Thought ? Thanks

    I'm certainly not an MSI BIOS expert and I do realize settings vary from BIOS to BIOS even from the same manufacturer, but my BIOS has to be set to OS for WIN7 to S3 sleep.
    Is ACPI Standby State set to S3 in BIOS Setup?  Have you checked that option?
    What about this:

  • "Deep" sleep mode has been happening lately

    My PB has been waking up from sleep in the state that happens when your battery drains completely, however, I have it plugged in to the AC, and when it comes back to life, the battery charge is close to full. What I am calling "deep sleep", is the condition where the display is just barely visible in black and white when you wake the PB up, and there is a dotted progress bar at the bottom, which advances as the PB reloads it's last awake state of operation. I am assuming this is a function of the internal battery that retains vital data when the PB sleeps automatically due to an exhausted battery. But...the battery isn't exhausted, and, the AC is plugged in.
    Any ideas on what might be going on?

    Well, the "Safe Sleep" mode is if your battery ever runs down to zero, so you'll be safe (no pun intended) as long as you never let your battery run down to that.
    Since the safe sleep mode kicks in when the AC is plugged in and/or when your power battery (not PRAM one) is not anywhere near empty, it's not really serving a purpose in that point in time--at least, I don't think it is--since you will always have your settings saved so as long as you shut down the computer while it is plugged in and/or the battery is in.
    If you're having trouble with a faulty AC adapter, or your battery (not PRAM) is faulty then you would definitely want the "Safe Sleep" settings set to default and in place. But since that's not the case, you'd be safe turning it off if it was annoying you or a problem.

  • Deep Sleep Mode

    My iPod keeps going into Deep Sleep mode regardless of how much battery is left. When it turns on the battery display is a lot lower. Is there any way of stopping this?
    Thanks

    Smae problem here, only i have it only when playing m4b files.

  • My (2008) macbook pro, running 10.5.8 runs for about 30 seconds and then goes into deep sleep mode.  After significant difficulty awakening, it runs for 30 seconds and....start repeating here.  It did this once before about a year ago.

    .....and then goes into deep sleep mode.  When it (finally) awakens....it runs for about 30 seconds and.....start repeating here.
    And yes, I've shut dwn and restarted multiple times, rebooted in terminal mode and run fsck, rebooted and reset the parameter ram, yadda-yadda......
    Anybdy got any ideas?

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Still having problems? Replace steps 6 and 7 with the following:
    Reconnect just the MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer,
    Then reconnect the battery.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • MSI Z87 G45 DEEP SLEEP MODE

    Hi i recently finished building my comp and tried to install realtek ethernet driver, at the near end of the installation a message pops up saying
    "The RealTek Network Adapter/Controller was not found.  If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug the Cable"
    I went into device manager and network adapters is missing, I've looked around online for solutions and tried them such as updating bios, taking out power supply plug for 10 mins, taking out ram, taking out motherboard battery and clearing cmos all to which doesnt work. Still cant install ethernet drivers. For 2 days i been looking and attempting to solve this and i now think it may be a hardware problem where the lan port doesnt work and is not detected. I'm quite sad because this is my first build and i have never experienced this problem before. Also i tried installing drivers from the MSI disc using the total installer and i see that lan,storage is greyed out unable to click where chipset and audio and other utilities can be installed. I have to manually open the disc and look for the drivers in the folders.
    PLEASE HELP!! What should i do??? Is purchasing a PCI network adapter can connect to internet or it wont detect? i'm not sure. I want to avoid the possibility of RMA as i never done it before and would like to avoid the hassle. THANKS

    You have to run the Killer "driver cleaner" available from the Utility downloads section of the Killer website.  Once it cleans up your PC, the new drivers will install.
