MacBook (Lion) doesn't sleep even after closing lid

Is anyone experiencing this as well? I have encounter the same problem a few times now. My macbook would have it's fan keep running even when the lid is closed. Isn't it strange? I haven't had this problem before in Snow Leopard.
In snow leopard, even when the fan is running at 6200rpm, as soon as I close the lid. My macbook would be quiet almost instantly. However, with Lion my fan and processor would keep running. Anyone else? any idea?

Hey Pascale,
I am not sure if you have fixed this but I had the same problem and found some advice from another website...

All I had to do was turn off my "internet sharing"  (System preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing (uncheck) )
and presto, no more closing lid problems. 
If your internet sharing wasn't the issue then I don' t know what is.
Cheers

  • MacBook Pro won't turn on after closing lid & fully charged. Help!

    I have a MacBook Pro from June 2008, I have been using it all day, this evening it was fully charged and I left it on with the screen open - by the time I came back the screen was black ( I assumed it had gone to sleep) I closed the lid to take it upstairs to discover that when I opened it the power light was not on. When I press the power button nothing happens, but if I hold the power button for around 5 seconds the light stays on, the laptop sounds like it is trying to start up but then dies. I have tried the smc reset, but it has not worked. Also tried taking the battery out and trying this with just power adapter. Does anyone have any clues to what is wrong? Or do I just take it into the apple store?
    Thanks, really could do with some help!!

  • My macbook pro doesn't wake up after sleep

    my macbook pro doesn't wake up after sleep

    I'm having the same issue. I've had my logic board replaced twice now, which I did last week and then Monday I had to take it to a Genius Bar again because my hard drive cable was malfunctioning. I don't know why it's happening but I'm really starting to get frustrated with my machine. I bought my MacBook Pro brand new last year in September and ever since I've dropped it in November, it's been really glitchy. After I dropped it, I had to replace my Logic board, graphics card, and hard drive and they covered it.

  • Firefox apears in firewall even after closing all processes and continues to download file

    firefox continues to download files even after closing all the processes, this behavior was noticed by looking at the my firewall activity log. I am using get them all download manger (firefox extension) to download files in firefox. When first time firefox is started after starting computer it doesnt have any problem, but once I open the download manager and start downloading files it never stops.
    I am using : down them all version 2.05 beta on FF 3.6.12
    1. start computer
    2. open firefox
    3. check firewall status (bitdefender firewall running at report level) - no activity noticed
    3. add url to download file in download them all manager
    4. start download - bitdefinder shows firefox accessing internet
    5. pause download
    6. check firewall status - bitdefinder doesn't show firefox accessing internet in process listing but it does show network activity is going on at its peak.
    7. close all firefox windows and remove firefox.exe from task manager
    8. check bit defiender firewall status it continues to run at peak eating up all the network bandwidth
    9. remove rule of firefox from firewall so as it may prompt when firefox try to connect to internet (bit definder firewall is running in report mode for approval for each connection)
    10. as soon as rule removed, bit definder pops up window sayaing firefox is trying to access remote server (same from where the download was earlier started)
    11. Allow the firefox to access it and again it will start downloading in background and bitdefinder shows up internet activity at its peak.

    naah, looks like its problem of firefox, i removed the plugin and tried downloading using the normal download winodw of firefox but same problem, this time it starts picking up item from the download window and continues to download

  • Open Sale Order Value (FD33) not getting diminished even after closing SO?

    Hi,
    Upon Executing FD33 and clicking the status view for a Customer say XYZ , and then choosing EXTRAS-Open Sale Order . Say the value of open sale orders being shown is 75000. Even after closing the open sale orders (By Selecting VA05 and Putting reason for Rejection), and then also the Open Sales Order value is not getting diminished.
    What could be the reason ?
    Pls help.
    Regrds,
    Binayak

    Hi Binayak,
    As mentioned by you, running of Credit re-org program 'RVKRED77' is the only solution for this problem and it is known problem in SAP.
    Some precautions
    1. Always run the program in background by scheduling a job.
    2. The idle time is around midnight when no user is working on SAP.
    3. Some time the job fails as some other program may be updating same tables as this program. In such cases re-schedule the job at different time.
    4. You may run the program 'RVKRED88' which will simulate without actual updation of credit values.
    Hope this clarifies..
    Regards,
    Madhu.

  • FIrefox 4 beta does not work anymore. Directly after start-up (my homepage is showing) is firefox hanging, showing an hour glass. No button, URL or whatever can be used, except for the close button. But even after closing firefox, it keeps on running.

    Even after closing down the application, the firefox task remains running in the background and must be killed with Windows Task Control.
    Even deinstalling and installing the latest beta version does not solve it. Unfortunately I have to use Google Chrome Now.

    Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
    Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
    Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

  • Window Memory usage even after closing windows

    I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
    launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
    When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
    you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
    that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
    want to mute it :D)
    After launching and closing the window several times the
    memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
    significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
    trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
    w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
    fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
    increasing w/o user interaction).
    Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
    memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
    even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
    here?
    Example Code:
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
    (AIR)
    http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
    (source ZIP)
    Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
    collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
    19mb).
    Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
    JBTest.exe

    You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
    run.
    Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
    anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
    when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
    objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
    need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
    eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
    objects are no longer in use.
    You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
    parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
    garbage collection, too.

  • Hardware acceleration in Firefox 4 fluctuates my gpu clock speed and for some period of browsing will hang the gpu at the highest clock speed available even after closing Firefox 4.

    After browsing heavily in Firefox 4 for some time, my gpu (ATI 5870 with the latest drivers) will stay clocked at the highest clock speed of 850Mhz and memory clock speed of 1200Mhz. Even after closing Firefox 4, the gpu will not down-clock and stay at those highest speed. I've tested the same browsing pattern on IE9 and in which this problem didn't exist so I don't think it's a driver issue. I now have to browse with hardware acceleration turned off to ensure I don't get this problem.

    Ive downgraded from FF4 to 3.6 at this point. The CPU usage is out of control on OS X.

  • What is MacBook Pro sleep shortcut before closing lid?

    Using Lion on MacBook Pro.  I'm told that before closing lid, I'm to put desktop to sleep to prevent corrupting files and applications (which I've had happen in the past).  Instead of using the black apple version, there is a key-stroke or swipe shortcut for putting it to sleep.  What is it?

    Sorry but that is completely incorrect. Sleep is Sleep no motter how you get there. If putting the computer to sleep by closing the lid caused the problems you had then using the keyboard shortcut to put it to sleep will do the same thing.
    There is NO difference in how you put it to sleep.
    Your problem was caused by Forcing it into Sleep Mode before it was finished doing what you had asked it to do. Using the keyboard to force sleep will cause the same problems.
    Good Luck.

  • Websites stay open in background even after closing them

    Hey everyone,
    I've been having issues with firefox lately. Pretty much, it seems like Firefox is keeping websites open in the background even after I 'x' them out. For instance, if I start a video on Youtube and leave it running after leaving the page.. it will continue playing in the background. If I go on facebook, I will receive facebook messenges even when it's not open on any tab. The various plug-ins for firefox never close and I have to manually force-quit them or they hog all of my CPU. The only solution I have so far is to close and restart firefox more routinely than I would like.
    I'm also having a problem with entering websites into the address bar. Basically, new windows won't work for typing in websites. The solution I've found is to disable ANY of my add-ons (it doesn't matter which).. then I will be able to use the address bar for that window.
    I am using the latest version of Firefox. The plug-ins I use are:
    Ad block 2.64
    Download status bar 10.6.0
    Monitor master 5.2
    No script 2.6.8.36
    Open link in new tab 0.1.201407301
    PDF viewer 1.0.277
    Session manager 0.8.1.5
    Super tab mode 1.85
    URL fixer 4.1
    Mac OSX 10.9.3
    Please help! I want to continue using firefox but this is getting annoying!
    Thanks!!

  • EXCEL.EXE process is keep running even after closing all the handles

    I am using Excel Report Instrument functions  for creating excel application and sheet,workbook after reading/writing in to excel file am closing all the handles using CA_DiscardObjHandle (handle);     even after file is getting closed m checking it in TaskManager then one EXCEl.EXE process is keep running there,pls let me know how to deal with this....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A Kumar:
    Have you tried running the example program excelreportdemo.prj that ships with CVI?  It ends the excel process by discarding multiple handles, and it works even if you're editing a cell or have an Excel dialog open, etc.  Try running this without modification and verify that the excel process is closed when you quit the CVI app.
    Here's the Quit function from excelreportdemo.  It checks for and closes handles for the worksheet, chart, workbook, and excel application.
    int CVICALLBACK Quit (int panel, int control, int event,
            void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
        switch (event)
            case EVENT_COMMIT:
                if (worksheetHandle)
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(worksheetHandle);
                if (chartHandle)
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(chartHandle);
                if (workbookHandle)
                    ExcelRpt_WorkbookClose(workbookHandle, 0);
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(workbookHandle);
                if (applicationHandle)
                    ExcelRpt_ApplicationQuit(applicationHandle);
                    CA_DiscardObjHandle(applicationHandle);
                QuitUserInterface (0);
                break;
        return 0;
