MacBook will not sleep automatically since Snow Leopard install

Hello. I am having a serious issue with my MacBook since upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, 2.4 GHz) will not go to sleep automatically anymore. If I select "Sleep" from the Apple menu it will sleep fine. However, it will not sleep according to my Energy Saver preference pane which says sleep at 1 min each (Display and Computer). Another thing to keep in mind is that my display sleeps perfectly normally. However, the computer itself will not sleep.
Here are the things that I have tried so far:
- Reinstall 10.6.2 combo updater
- Remove Energy Saver preferences and entire System Configuration folder
- Made sure that no hardware or software is interrupting sleep
- Reset PRAM and SMC
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with ALL updates and firmware installed.
Please help me figure this out as it is a serious issue. Thanks.

Macbook will not sleep automatically

Hi
I've recently noticed that my Macbook will not sleep automatically, even when the power management is set to sleep at minimum (1 minute).
It will sleep if I do it via the menu, however if I walk away from the machine with the lid up, it just won't go to sleep.
I've tried switching everything off that could possibly be running in the background, tried from a new user account and also tried a power management and zapped the P Ram.
Up until a few weeks ago it's been running fine, don't know what's happened since, any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Kiran

Thanks, i've pasted below some of the text that was shown in 'Console', the last line was repeated several times so i've only copied it once.
I have no idea what this means, except there is some sort of error, how would you suggest I proceed.

MacBook will not warm restart after Snow Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Did all updates 10.6.2 now. I must say I like Snow Leopard on the surface; however, this is the first time I have been hesitant about Apple. Upgrade was not without problems with Wifi but those were resolved.
Since doing install, I can not restart the machine from the Apple menu. It does an apparent shutdown to black screen, light on front of MacBook stays constant, but system never comes back. I have to do a hard shutdown holding power button.
What I have tried:
Search the Internet for suggestions. Many similar but identical problems.
Looked at what is running. No apps just standard stuff.
Tried PRAM reset. No change.
No USB peripherals attached.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

Problem solved. Reinstalled? Upgraded Flash. Since I don't know what version of Flash I was running under Tiger I don't know if I reinstalled or upgraded. But it fixed all my problems with restarts, shutdowns, FireFox, Safari, general Internet instability.
Curious: Are there any other "add-ons" floating around on my system waiting to cause me grief?

MacBook will not sleep. Suggestions?

MacBook will not sleep. Suggestions?
OS 10.6.8

Something quick to try is reseting the paramater RAM, which holds onto things like power settings. Reboot the Mac and after you hear the chimes hold down the following 4 keys:
Command+Option + P+R
It will take a little longer to bootup as a result of the reset. People suggest also to hold it down until you hear the chimes multiple times (3-4) on the last reboot, let go of the keys and let it boot all the way up.

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot to Retail Snow Leopard

I am a PC tech working on a Macboo Pro mid-2010 15" aka MacbookPro6,2 for an acquaintance (really) and I really appreciate any help/tips on this. As given to me, the MBP was totally non-responsive. Also, the owner does not have the original DVDs that came with the machine nor did she have the power adapter (long story).
Here is the summary: The MBP will not boot to a retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD; it only gets to the light grey screen with the darker grey Apple symbol and no spinning gear.
Here are the details:
1. After procuring a new AC adapter and installing a new battery, it would boot up and run but displayed an error with Steam startup. It connected to the internet via wifi, launched and ran a video dvd, etc, etc. Looked good except for the Steam error screen.
2. I went to the Steam website and downloaded the current version. After the software installed I did a normal shutdown and restart and the MBP would not boot, just went to grey Apple screen and spinning gear.
3. Booted up in single user, ran fsck -fy which reported "Invalid node structure (4, 24755)" which I understand is not good and it also reported that "The volume Untitled could not be repaired". Just on a whim I ran the fsck a couple more times not expecting anything different and that's what I got - nothing different.
4. Power up with Command R. Goes to grey screen and then tries to boot off of the bad hard drive with previous results.
5. Talked to Apple Care. To make it short, they sold me a retail Snow Leopard.
6. Installed a new blank hard drive (500GB, SATA II, WD Blue) and loaded the Snow Leopard into the Superdrive.
7. Power up and press C. Just goes to grey screen and grey Apple.
8. Power up with Option. DVD is there, click on it to launch, goes to grey Apple and that's all it does.
9. Just for grins, I popped in a Windows 7 Recovery DVD and did the power up/option to launch that and the MBP actually loads the Windows files and screen but it will not proceed because Win7 recovery doesn't recognize the MBP. At least the DVD worked.
10. Installed a different new blank hard drive and tried to launch Snow Leopard install but no dice.
11. Just for grins number two, I tried a remote install on my local network. On initial DVD access, the MBP displays a spinning globe along with the grey Apple, accesses the DVD on the remote laptop three times, but then the spinning globe disappears and everything stops. I left it for an hour and nothing else happens.
That is where I am stuck. I really appreciate any ideas on how to proceed. I can hear Genius Bar already, but was just wondering if I missed any possible steps to take myself.

You should have better luck with the correct build, as you can't use the installs as backward compatible. I also have an older machine that is for the kids, and was upgraded with the 10.6.3 retail disk which will not work with the Mid 2010.
Best of luck, and hope it helps.
If no luck, you may want to investigate hardware issues, as it should boot and install.

Time Machine Not Recognized After Clean Snow Leopard Install

I've searched for this particular question.
I was unhappy with Snow Leopard dragging. I wanted a clean install. I did not have the original snow leopard installation for my computer, so I got a different snow leopard DVD. This has apparently caused problems with time machine.
The clean install in complete. I am now ready to migrate my Time Machine backup onto my iMac24". However, Time Machine is not recognized--at least not in the way I want.
When I plug my time machine HD into the USB, snow leopard asks if I want to use this for future back-ups. I decline, because I specifically want to restore what has already been backed up. The HD is visible as an external device--and I can in fact see the raw data of my time machine backup stored in folders.
However, when I enter migration assistant, time machine is invisible. On the page where I am expecting to select time machine, I instead get a perpetually spinning circle icon.
I suspect time machine is "linked" to the prior snow leopard operating system, rather than to the computer ID. Obviously, this is a bit of a mistake on my part. However, I'm already into the breech and I've got no choice but to go forward.
Please advise how to redirect my time machine to its new master (same computer, different snow leopard registration)?
Thanks so very much.

Retail disk? Yes, it was the snow leopard CD.
I used a single license snow snow leopard CD install the first time around, when snow leopard was first released. At at that time I "upgraded" my system from leopard.
This time, I used a different physical disk with snow leopard with a family license. This time I did a "clean" install in which I first erased my hard drive using disk utilities.
There were no problems with the installation.
As I say, my time machine hard drive is "recognized" by the computer as an external drive. It just is not recognized when I utilize the migration assistant. It is also "recognized" as a time machine, but only as a potential time machine for prospective use to update going forward, whereas I want it to open up as a time machine for my iMac that I just wiped clean yesterday.
Thanks for your assistance.

MacBook Pro Will Not Sleep Automatically or Pressing Sleep

My Late 2011 13 in. MacBook Pro has been having some issues lately with going into sleep mode. My Mac is setup with a 2nd monitor, a speaker, an external hard drive, and Ethernet The apps I always have running, which are in the toolbar, are Kaspersky Internet Security (2014 Edition), Memory Diag, Window Tidy, Boom (System Wide EQ), TeamViewer, and LogMeIn Hamachi. As of yesterday, I was able to press the sleep button and it would go to sleep, but it would never automatically, even after resetting the SMC. I did read somewhere that Boom has a bug that prevents Macs from sleeping, but the article was from 2 years ago. I've only had Boom since I think March. Yesterday, I uninstalled Avast! Free Antivirus and replaced it with Kaspersky Internet Security. That's all I remember doing, so I'm not sure if that affected anything. I know that closing the lid will not make it sleep because of the two screens. I open my mac up at around 11 or 12 every day and leave it running until like 11:30 or 12 every night. Last night, I went to put it in sleep mode and I waited a few minutes, and nothing happened. I unplugged some things, ejected a disk from the disk drive, and made sure nothing was open. A few minutes later and still nothing. I then logged off and still nothing. Finally I just shut it down. Also, on a side note, my computer takes about 5 minutes to finish starting up. Most of my friends and family who have Macs say theirs takes about either less than a minute or a minute. So I'm not sure what been going on there, but that has been going on since about December. Also, all my software is up to date. I have no clue what may be causing it, but my Hard Drive is fine, accept for the occasional Spotlight-caused invalid memory block count.

Start by removing "Kaspersky," which is worse than useless and should be removed even if it's not causing the problem.
Remove "Kaspersky Security" by following the instructions on this page. If you have a different version of the product, the procedure may be different. The product includes a Safari extension that may not be removed by the uninstaller.
Back up all data before making any changes.

Epson RX595 will not print since Snow Leopard install

I cannot get my trusty Epson to print since installing Snow Leopard and latest printer drivers.
I can scan. Just cannot print.
I have looked at some troubleshooting support articles. Does anyone have a good link, tip?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!

Try deleting the printer, the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and then reinstalling the drivers using Software Update. Then add the printer, making sure that you are using the Epson driver, not the Gutenprint driver.

FCP Studio will not boot up after Snow leopard upgrade.

Everything was working fine on Leopard but decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Now the program stats up and we get to the splash screen then it quits. Anybody help me? so far Snow Leopard has been a complete waste of time, After effects on Mac will not work now either.

They all work except FCP 6 and After effects cs3. FCP is my main worry. I have a deadline to finish.

Preview will not display jpegs in Snow Leopard on MacPro

I have read every posting on this site, deleted Entourage, deleted the Preview files suggested, and still I can't get jpeg images to display on my MacPro (I can get PDFs and thumbnails just fine). I have the same operating system on my iMac, and Preview, works fine (even with Entourage on the computer) and always has. This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro I bought from a friend, and found to my shock Preview does not work. I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing. Then, as I indicated, I did all the suggestions posted here, but had no success. Is there something wrong with the MacPro? I don't want to upgrade to Lion on this computer because I need it for editing on FCP 7. I do documentaries and really need Preview to work. The previous owner did not need Preview for images when he used the computer so I don't know if it ever worked. Any ideas? Last resort, I will upgrade the MacPro to LIon and see if Preview works. If it does, I will just use the MacPro for Avid projects and continue to use my iMac for Final Cut projects. I just want to see if there is anything I can try before I do this.

deleted Entourage
Don't know who would have suggested that, but it was completely unnecessary. Entourage and Preview have absolutely no affect on each other.
deleted the Preview files suggested
What suggested files? File names, please.
Is there something wrong with the MacPro?
With the hardware itself? No, it's obviously a software issue.
This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro
What do you mean by "everything"? Every single item, including the OS from the iMac, or just your user account and apps by using Migration Assistant?
I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing.
Snow Leopard disks that came with the Mac Pro, or a retail copy?

Aperture PS CS3/4 Aperture, not working since Snow Leopard install...

Since installing Snow Leopard today I have been unable to export/edit from Aperture to Photoshop CS3/4 and back again!!!
I have tried it with both CS3 and CS4 as I have both installed. Aperture corrupts the thumbnail on export to both apps, they then open the file in both versions of PS but when you go to save after editing you get a message saying the file is open and you can't save it!!!
It seems to me it's an obvious Snow Leopard issue as it worked perfectly before I upgraded but now I am screwed for editing until a fix is sorted, any suggestions???

I am not having that problem. I can edit with CS4 an image that was previously edited with CS4 and also one that was not previously edited at all.
Did you upgrade Aperture to 2.1.4 before Snow ?

A new Mac shipping with OS X Lion will not accept OS X Snow Leopard

Hi Fans,
I''m back again to report on my 2.5hr campaign to get Snow Leopard back.
I have of course no DVD drive on the Macbook Air.
So, I created a restore disk from my Mini, to an external drive.
Loooks good...
Boot Air, kernel panic. The Snow Leopard DVD is too old.
Error is:
You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1.
So, I will call apple apparently tomorrow and ask if there is a possibility for a later version DVD or a USB I can get.
I might add that if you have problems, apple prefer that you email them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Other than that, a little rant here could help...
The experience I've had is pratically software entrapment, Apple just about closed the doors on software choice.

Thanks, yes I see the point, I will eventually get some 'feedback' and hope that I can survive the shortcomings...
I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible at all? To run Snow Leopard on the New Macbook Airs, i7 etc.
If it is... I will call and wait to talk to an Apple Expert...
What's interesting is Progress has become a relative concept, whereas before, Progress really mean't progress.
I think we got all excited over a rather fluffy domestic cat...
OS X Mr Snuggles?
Actually, the next version was probably the Sabre Tooth, but as we know, that cat is extinct.
I am trying to keep up good spirits by lightening up this 50/50 release.

DVD Player will not play image files (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

I am having a problem with my DVD Player. It will no longer play dvd iso files. Instead I get this error: "There was a problem opening the media: The media type is not supported"
What is really strange about this is that the audio from the DVD would play just fine, but there would not be an accompanying video window.
I find it hard to believe that when upgrading from leopard to snow leopard that the iso file format would become unsupported.
I have also tried to create my own DVD .img file and it too would not play in DVD Player giving me the same error message. Is there anything I can do to get my image files to play on this computer?

Change the file extension from img. to iso
Many obscure file formats are not accepted by DVD Players and require you to either change the format or get a converter. here read these they will help you a ton.

MacBook will not sleep when lid is closed

I just noticed in the last few weeks that whenever I close my MacBook it will not go to sleep. I've had it only a year and protect it like a baby so I'm not sure what happened (maybe a recent update is buggy).
I've done some research and it seems that there are some problems with MacBook Pros but not so much with MacBooks.
Is there anyone out there that is having the same problem or has had the same problem and has fixed it?
I've tried reseting the SMC and PRAM and repairing the permissions...any other suggestions? I don't feel like going down to the Apple Store unless my baby is in immediate danger.
Thanks

Console.app will allow you to check various logs. The root system one should be reflecting any major issues, though be aware the description may not be in plain english.
Another issue I found is that certain classes of USB storage devices can wake the mac back up immediately after it sleeps on lid shut, especially external multicard readers (sd/mmc combo etc). If there is any USB equipment, try unplugging it all first before closing the lid and see if you have a different outcome.

Computer will not sleep automatically.

Only sleeps if I close the lid or through the apple menu. Even with all apps closed.

Hello everyone,
Same here.
Had the same problem with 10.5.3 already. At that time, as I had lots of "beta" applications installed, I thought it might come from there. Then I also thought it might be Skype (if this application is on, does the OS consider it as an activity and never sets the computer to sleep? or is it the application itself that keeps the OS from putting the computer to sleep?).
Finally, last week, I completely reinstalled my computer (from scratch with the original 10.5 DVD). Upgraded to 10.5.4 and did all the Software Updates through the corresponding application (not by downloading the upgrades and installing them manually), Used Time Machine to restore my profile and reinstalled manually all the software that "want" to go in /Applications.
Yesterday, I had to download a big file, so I quit all the applications (including Skype), except Firefox (as I was downloading from there).
This morning, although the file was downloaded since long time, my MacBook was at the log-in screen, screen off, but not sleeping (the little frontal led was not oscillating as it is when in sleep mode).
Therefore, I don't think it is Skype after all.
What I haven't tested:
Create another profile and check whether it goes to sleep there. This could tell us if it is a profile related problem or an OS-wide problem...
If anyone has suggestions...
Cheers,
Pete
