HT1338 MacBook now takes 1 minute to go to sleep after all windows closed, any help to return it to normal

MacBook now takes >1 minute to go to sleep after all applications are closed.  Need help in returning it to the normal 10 sec for sleep

First, Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk. You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Repair reports and if DU was able to repair them. This could just be a start in repairs and you may need a better utility to finish the job.
Then Repair Permissions.
No need to report any Permissions errors........we all get them.

  • Recently i uncheck the box i tune wifi sync and tried to connect my usb cable to my macbook, now i tune cant detect my i phone at all!! Pls help as i cant sync my i phone anymore!

    Recently i unchecked the box i tune wifi sync and try to connect my i phone using the usb cable provided. Now my macbook cant detect my phone, help!!  I cant sync my phone anymore....

    The update did not do anything.
    AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
    The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
    Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

  • Why does my Macbook Pro take so long to go to sleep?

    I have a mid 2012 15' Macbook Pro with retina display and I'm having problems with it going to sleep mode. This laptop was used for a few months by my brother before me and he had no problems with this, and neither did I have it until a few days ago. When I close the lid of my laptop and reopen it within 30 seconds, only the display has turned off (while the lid is closed), but after reopening the lid the laptop would go to sleep about 5 seconds later. This also happens when I use the power button and choose the sleep option. It'll then take a minute to go to sleep.
    I've made no major changed to the settings recently bit I do use an app called InsomniaX (version 2.0.1) that can stop the laptop from entering sleep more while closing the lid. I don't know if its the app that's causing this or not. I've used it for 2 weeks before the problem started. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the latest version of the app (2.1.3a) and the problem persists on both instances. And of course the problem persists even if the app is closed so I know that its not because of the "disable lid sleep" option of the app.
    I know that this question has been posted before of my other sites as well but I could not find a problem that was close to mine. Any sort of help would be appriciated. Thank you.

    I have that issue aswell (not all the time, but sometimes).  Check for InsomniaX updates, I have InsomniaX aswell, and I am convinced it is the root of the problem.  Alo try restarting InsomniaX.  Click on it's Icon, go down to quit, and go through the ring-roll of it informing you the world will end if you quit.  Then go into Spotlight, type in InsomniaX, and open it up again.  You might also have to reenter your settings inside InsomniaX, if you haven't ticked the box for 'Save states on exit'

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

    Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

    Hi there
    You currently have a single app membership for Photoshop.  You might want to consider changing to the Creative Cloud Photography plan if you wish to have Photoshop CC + Lightroom CC - see Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

    Hi Suzy Q,
    I can send and receive calls.
    I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
    Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid  on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
    When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
    It runs slow.
    I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a  lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
    I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
    When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
    I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
    The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
    I get a black screen on occasion.
    sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
    sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
    I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

    I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life.  If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6?  Could be anything.

    Go to System Preferences - Accessibility - Voiceover - turn off Voiceover. The shortcut is command-F5, so possibly you pressed that accidentally.

  • MacBook Pro takes 7 minutes to restart. Is it ok?

    I have a MacBook Pro:
      Nombre del modelo: MacBook Pro
      Identificador del modelo: MacBookPro9,2
      Nombre del procesador: Intel Core i5
      Velocidad del procesador: 2.5 GHz
      Cantidad de procesadores: 1
      Cantidad total de núcleos: 2

      Sensor de movimiento repentino:

    When it becomes slow during the day, I restart it. Sometimes it takes very long just to shut down (the spinning bars keeps rotating in a black background), approximately two minutes. So, I rather simply turn it off (I click OK in the "do you really want to do it" warning), this method is faster.
    Either way, my MacBook takes long to restart. It begins with a grey background for a minute or less, then a slim bar appears under Apple logo and starts to fill. This process takes three minutes, more or less. Then, when the bar is filled completely, the login screen with my photo appears. I login and immediately the pesky warning "Do you want to reopen application" appears; I click "Cancel". The desktop background picture appears, but just that, no menu bar, no dock, no icons. MacBook stays in this state for two and a half minutes. Then dock appears, no menu bar yet. I try to start an application with the Launcher icon in the dock but the screen gets blurred with the legend "Loading applications..." and MacBook stays in that state for another minute or more. I scape this blurred screen, I try to click something else but nothing is clickable, until menu bar appears. Then starts loading, clock mini icon, battery, TimeMachine, BlueTooth, iTranslate, DPS and other icons painfully slow. When everything seems to be on place, I click any item in the menu bar and the computer doesn't responde until the third click. Then everything starts working normal... until mid-afternoon, when the computer has become so slow that I have to restart it again.
    As you can see, it is really frustrating, painful, unproductive.
    Is this normal?
    What can I do?

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.  
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above.
    Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
