Is there a sleep light glows large and glows small?

I thoght I saw a iBook doing this light thing near the push latch.
Thanks !!!

It's much better on the ibook, than on my g4 tower. It glows so brightly that at night I have to block its light with something so it doesn't bother me so much! Same thing on the ibook, but it's easier to just nudge the edge of the book up against something, and it's not as bright...
great feature though...

Sleep light for Retina *idea Glowing Apple logo?

So my first hesistation for writing this is that I think my idea had a flaw. Nontheless, I continue. Is it at all possible for the Apple Logo on the back of the monitor to glow in the same "breathing" pattern as was the old sleep light? I imagine for Power Consumption it might be a negative, but for nostalgic purposes I'm interested. I also wonder if that light is controlled by the backlight on the screen. Anywho, before I go to bed, I thought I share that thought.

Fimeg,
It would be impossible for just the Apple logo to light up without also lighting the whole display. The logo, even back in the old Power PC days, is basically a partially translucent cutout in the lid. The light you see is from the screen backlighting system. I got my MBP Retina 15" in November and also really missed the flashing light. The longer you have it, the less you will miss it. Supposedly this is supposed to be able to sleep on a single charge for approximately 30 days.

MacBook Pro (early 2011) won't boot, sleep light comes on and fans come on high.

Just had a stick of RAM and the CPU replaced by Apple for an unrelated issue, but now this has cropped up. A little searching indicated that the GPU became unsoldered, but I'm curios if anyone can shed some light on this issue.
Thanks.

Did you do anything in particular to get it to boot up? If I could get mine to boot then I could work with it. I've got an external monitor that might connect, but if not, I should be able to share the screen from my Mac Mini. But I can't get it to boot.
Also, what time zone are you in? Since the same problem happened to us both on the same day, I wonder if something in the date is causing a failure in sleep/wake. I've had my fingers crossed that when tomorrow rolls around it will boot up again. Crazy, perhaps, we'll see. You give me hope.

Why are some InDesign previews large and others small?

I seem to save the individual files out (they are the same physical dimensions) yet some have large previews in Bridge and others have small previews in Bridge. Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to be connected to whether or not you saved Preview images when you originally saved the files.
Re-opening and re-saving in CS4 should solve the problem.

Is this sleep light behavior normal w/ a MacBook Pro?

This is the deal. I just purchased a new MacBook Pro 2.4GHz Intel core 2 Duo and I've noticed that the 'sleep light' comes on and stays on when I have my Cinema Display plugged in with the laptop cover closed down (so, therefore, I'm using just the external monitor, not the MBP's screen). It isn't 'sleeping' (it's not pulsing in and out as it does when it goes to sleep), but the light comes on steady whenever I close the lid regardless that the MBP is completely awake and being used with an external monitor.
I also noticed that while I was in the process of migrating data from my powerbook to the MBP, when the screen went dark (non-activity) over time, though the computer was transferring data via firewire, that when the MBP screen did go dark the sleep light immediately turned on. When I moved the mouse or touched a key of course the screen came back and then the sleep light went out. I was very surprised with this. IS THIS NORMAL FOR A [brand new] MACBOOK PRO? Did apple change things from how the PowerBooks were set up?
With my powerbook, the sleep light only comes on when it's ACTUALLY SLEEPING and then it pulses. It doesn't come on steady when the lid is closed. So this is quite different from what I'm used to and want to know what is supposed to be happening with the MBP.
The MBP goes to sleep properly in the various situations I've put it in. So far it functions properly. Except for this sleep light issue. And after doing some reading here I found there to be a number of issues with the MBP's 'sleep' and/or power management systems. And I'd like to know from other MBP users - Is this steady sleep light normal when the laptop screen is 'not in use' tho the computer is still ON and working?
Anyone notice any of these things as well? Your timely responses are much appreciated. I decided to ask here first, as I often find other users as knowledgeable and helpful as any resource out there. Thanks in advance.
BTW, and this is a side note: But I didn't install the battery update (I think it's 1.3?) for my MBP because of the scores of issues I've read about it thus far. Your thoughts on installing the update are also appreciated, if you have any.
Regards, Elizabeth

You have a macbook pro too (as noted), does this happen with yours? If apple changed things and it's normal, like as you stated that it was lite so you'd know you're computer is 'on' but I'd like to know for sure if that's what it's supposed to be doing. (nip it in the bud if there's a problem)
I know it isn't sleeping (not pulsing) but since the light is on (steady), it is something I noticed right away. For example, right now as I type this, with the MBP on my desk w/ the cinema display plugged in (w/ a keyboard) and the lid is closed on the MBP, the light is ON right now. Not pulsing, but a steady light. Doesn't seem like it should be, to me. (at least in my view)
Thanks for your reply Josh.

Sleep Light ont work

Hello every one! Since I ever got my iBook 5 months ago, I have noticed theres no sleep light... one day, when I was in a hurry, I closed the lid a bit too hard, and the sleep light turned for a half of a second, then it was gone... any suggestions?

The sleep light board plugs into the logic board. If extra pressure made it turn on briefly, it sounds like the connection might be loose. it would take a fair amount of disassembly to check the connection and plug the connector in securely. If the iBook was taken apart for servicing at some point, it's possible that the sleep light wasn't reconnected properly and is loose in its socket.
You can look at the instructions for removing the logic board at ifixit and get an idea of what would be involved in getting to the sleep light. You don't want to actually remove the logic board--just look at the pictures and towards the end you will see where the sleep light plugs in. As I recall, it is a black and red twisted wire cable.

You will have to decide for yourself if it's worth the effort.
Good luck!

MacBook pro screen wont turn on mechine turns on but front sleep light is dim

So I was just browsing on chrome on my MacBook pro and suddenly the screen froze and from the top of the screen it started to get dim and came down right to the center of the screen and then another black shade ontop of that came down and stopped in the middle it did this until the top half was completely dark but the bottom half is ok and nothing happend oh by the way I was just on Facebook I wasn't on a website that was harmful to the Mac so any ways I then I held the power button until it turns off thinking it would work normaly but it didnt, when I turned it on I heard the fan turn really fast and then it slowed down and the front sleep light came on and it stayed like that, i could also hear the hard drive spinning inside I closed it and the sleep light is on it but now it brighter and it's not even going dark and bright like its supposed to do when it's sleeping. Can someone please help?

Try a SMC reset:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If no joy try a pramreset: power off the MBP, power back up, before the start chime press and hold optio, command, P, R, and continue tohold them until your the chime 2 times then release. Reboot.
If still not happy try a safe boot, power up holding the shift key, continue to hold the key until you the progress bar and gear then release. This will show if it could be a third party software problem, this will boot the MBP with only essential applications running. Be patient as this takes longer than normal. Try things out, if normal, shut down and restart and see if things are still messed up.

Starts up, Sleep Light Comes On, then Shuts Down After ONE Second

I was using the Macbook Pro in Target Disk Mode using a external monitor, and when I was done I had to open the case to shut it down. I then pressed the power button to start it up regularly and shut the case again. The computer acted like it went to sleep, so I figured I needed to keep the case open when starting.
As soon as I hit the power button again, the sleep light came on and the optical drive made a little noise, and after one second the light went off and everything shut down again. If I HOLD the power button down then the sleep light stays on for five seconds, flashes rapidly for two seconds, goes off for one second, then back on for a second before finally shutting completely down again. Repeatable.
I do have a Snow Leopard DVD in the drive, but that shouldn't make any difference. I can't eject it either by holding down the eject button while powering up.
I've tried removing battery and power and holding down the power button for a long time. No help.
Any ideas on how to get it alive again?

No start-up chime.
The only noise that can be heard is the hard disk and the optical drive powering up, the power LED lights up, then ONE second after hitting the power button it shuts itself off.
The best way I could think to duplicate getting it in this state is to press the power-on button and immediately shut the display lid. I would assume the timing of closing the lid has to be right at an inopportune time in the startup sequence.

Sleep light-12 inch powerbook

a few months back my sleep light became intermittant and often just stopped working--the folks at apple cust care walked me through some power tests etc, but it turns out that the latch release affects performance as does pressing the lid over the sleep light location. the sleep light just stops working at various times and jiggling the pushbutton release seem to get it going most of the time
do i have to have the sleep light replaced?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"null"?? (As in "null chance in getting it to run"?)
Anyway, thanks for your reply Sam. As I already hinted "I know it's not in the requirements". The tool (ran it when it came out) only confirms this.
Let me be clear (again): The issue is that a "Pro" notebook from Apple does not run this "between iPhoto and Photoshop" application. Though small it is nevertheless part of that lineup. In my case it's a few months old - sold as modern/latest/leading - but it's the current one as well. This is the official version. Quote: "packs a tremendous punch for doing everything" (http://www.apple.com/powerbook).
Don't get me wrong, for the most part I think it's a fine machine. But does it run with Aperture? Anyhow? If not, that's simply misleading PR on Apple's side.

Scan large image with small image.

Is it possible to take a large and a small image, and check if the small image is somewhere in the large image.
Perhaps with some sort of precision so it doesn't have to match 100 %.

It's not the most complex thing in the world, but you have to understand some core fundamentals. i.e. if you're right out of high school you'll need possibly months of study before succeeding.

My Macbook Pro 17" 2.44ghz all of a sudden one day decided to not boot up. When the power button is pressed the sleep light in the front on the latch release turns on and there is a small running sound but it never boots up and the screen never lights up. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas?
I'd love to repair it but not if it'll cost 500 bucks or more to replace the logicboard.
I appreciate any help

Lao Bo,
yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
find / -iname filename -print
This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
find /Users/username -iname filename -print
Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
ls /Volumes
Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

TS1365 Battery is fully charged. When I first put on my Macbook, screen went blue and nothing happened. Now, there is no fire up when I depress the start button. When I close the lid, the sleep light comes on.

Can somebody help me? When i first turned on my MacBook, it never booted up and ultimately the screen went blank. The battery is fully charged and now when I depress the start-up button, nothing happens. Its worth noting that when I close the lid, the sleep light turns on. Thank you in advance for your help.

Change display close actions, and turn off sleep light

I know apple doesn't like to make these things easy to change but here goes... my powerbook is in my bedroom. when I close the lid, I must put something in front of the glowing sleep light or it keeps ME awake. is there a way to disable it? or does this fall into the same category as moving the song name column out of the first position in itunes? apple has made a decision (based on who knows what input) and the end user is stuck with it...?
while we're at it: can I change the action performed when I close the lid? lock my user account but don't put the computer to sleep, for example? leave everything as it is but just turn off the display? mute the volume? show that I'm still online but attach an away message in adium? these are all things I could do with windows (tho I would never switch back) and I'm not sure why it seems so hard to do things like this with a mac.

Description and modification of the different hibernate modes
When the computer goes into sleeping mode, its behavior depends on a power management variable called hibernate mode. The hibernate mode can be set to different values:
* 0 : Default sleep behavior on most Apple computers. RAM is still powered on while sleeping. Wake up is fast. Safe sleep is disabled.
* 1 : Hibernation behavior. System is totally shut down while sleeping. RAM contents are dumped to disk. Wake up is slow.
* 3 : Default behavior on Powerbook HD computers. RAM is still powered on while sleeping. Wake up is fast. Safe sleep is enabled, so RAM contents are also dumped to disk before going to sleep.
Only a single mode can be activated at a time. In order to check what hibernate mode is currently active, the following command can be used in the Terminal application:
pmset -g | grep hibernatemode
In addition, users with administrator privileges can choose the hibernate mode. In order to do so, the following command can be used:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode X
with X replaced by the value of the hibernate mode to set. You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will not be echoed.

My macbook isn't powering up and makes a beeping noise in time with the sleep light

Hi There I hope someone can help!!!
I had disconnected the power cable and left the MacBook in sleep mode with the lid shut. When I now go to open my MacBook up, and wait for my system to resume from where I left off the screen doesn't on and the sleep light goes off. when I close the lid the sleep light goes back on as if it is in sleep mode but the same happens when I open it again, no power to the screen.
I order to try get my MacBook working again I tried holding down the power button and switching it back on again but the MacBook now looks as if it is going to power up but the sleep light comes on for about 3 secs and then beeps, then every 4-5 secs constantly the MacBook beeps once in time with the sleep light (to note the sleep light is not following its usual fade on fade off rhythm).
I have tried resetting the SMC using the shift command control option and power button (also this is the only way to stop the beeping and flashing) and when you try and switch on the MacBook if you just press the power button it just follows the same beep with sleep light routine, but if you hold the power button in then the sleep light then flashes quickly about 4-6 times and then starts to beep in time with the flash again.
I will also add I have not reconfigured anything or added any RAM to my MacBook it is still on the standard (manufacturing) configuration as I have been looking about for anyone with similar issues and the main question back seems to be have you changed the RAM, I have also tried resetting teh RAM and the proble still persists.
If someone can help it would be awesome!
