My macbook is sleeping all the time!

About 2 weeks ago, my macbook instantly sleeped. From that day to now, my macbook could just not awake! do anyone knows how to fix it? or i have to buy another mac?
Thanks, your answer is completely appreciated.

Also, try a SMC reset.

Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

Does leaving macbook air on all the time (while plugged in) to download torrents degrade battery life?

You have a lot of things going on here...you are keeping the Air plugged in all the time, you should run on the battery periodically to give it some exercise, you are keeping it on all the time which may be keeping it under constant or near constant load, and you are doing all of that to download pirated content, for which you will get no help on here.

Leaving Macbook Pro on all the time (as a desktop)

Hey guys, I have a 2010 Macbook Pro 17" and I'm thinking about transitioning it to a more sedentary lifestyle and turning it into my desktop. I currently use a PC as my home desktop, but it's old, slowing down, and uses Windows.
I have a few questions as I consider this move.
1) Will I need to keep the screen open on the laptop all the time? I think that MBPs dissipate their heat through the front/keyboard, so if I do find a workaround to keep it closed all the time, will my laptop overheat?
2) If I leave my MBP on all the time and plugged into an outlet constantly, will that drain my battery? I like keeping my main desktop on all the time as I do a lot of downloading, use it as a media server, and also like to access my desktop remotely. For the rare instance I want to unplug the MBP from the desktop setup, will I have any battery left to use?
The reason why I ask is because I'm thinking about two main options. The new iMacs are rumored to be coming out by the end of this month and I might just get that to replace my PC. However, I am thinking about holding off for the next generation of Macbook Airs (whenever that is) and just purchasing that, while turning my current MBP into a functional desktop. What is the downside of the using a MBP as a desktop instead of an iMac?
Please let me know what you guys think and recommend, and if anyone else uses this setup, please let me know how it is! Thanks!

1. Yes, it's possible to close the lid and keep the computer going - there are several threads on this if you search.
Although the MBP vents out the back when the lid is closed, heat does dissipate through through the top (meaning around the keyboard/speakers/trackpad/etc) also. Feel with your the top of your hands the aluminum when you computer is working hard and you will feel the heat - closing the lid will limit this heat escaping to a degree. So while it's likely fine to run the MBP with the lid closed, if it were me I would raise the lid up a few inches when the computer is using high CPU or the fans are working hard. (By the way, if you've been to an apple store, you will see that their laptops are fitted with little plastic bumpers so that when the lid is closed it doesn't close all the way - it could be to prevent sleeping, but instead of modding all their computers they could have just turned off sleep on lid close.)
2. As previously stated, it is good to power cycle your battery every month or so to keep it healthy. This is the nature of Li-ion batteries. Just unplug it and let it "die" once and a while. Leaving it plugged in most of the time won't destroy your battery.
Regarding iMac : It may have a better screen than whatever you currently have - they are stunning. Additionally, the current iMacs are more powerful than your 2010 MBP. But if you do decide to go that direction, I would agree that it may be best to wait till the iMacs come out with the improved Sandy Bridge i7's. If you don't need much horsepower, any of the 3 options will work - why not try out your 2010 MBP as your desktop for a bit and see how you like it, in the meantime you can see when the iMac comes out and compare that to your MBP desktop replacement/new MB Air idea.

Macbook Gets Pinwheel All the TIme !? (started 4 months ago)

I get the pinwheel all the time doing even the most basic tasks. Lasts 20 seconds. I reformatted the computer with a fresh install of OS X updated to 10.5.8 and it has had no effect. I have the white macbook 2.16 GHz model MB063LL/A, 4GB ram installed. Problems started before upgrading the ram. My guess is that it is bad firmware or hardware, but if firmware, then apple should have fixed it by now because lots of people would be having it right now. Problem has been going on for about 4 months maybe. Problems happen with Safari, VLC, Quicktime, Finder, just about anything that is not intensive all.
What is wrong with my macbook?

oakapple:
All the drives you listed are pretty good, although individual drives from any manufacturer may have issues. The drive you linked comes with a 3 year warranty, and newegg is pretty good about keeping their customers satisfied, so that if ther are issues they will usually make things right.
Installation in the MacBook is pretty easy. You will find directions at iFixit. If you have data you want to migrate from the old drive to the new you will need to get an enclosure in which to put the drive to migrate. After installing the HDD you will need to format and erase it, then it will be ready for installation. If you need step by directions for formatting or for installation, please do post back and ask.
Good luck.

Is it a good idea to keep MacBook Air in all the time

I basicly used it on my desk all the time. I leave it in sleepmode too while plug in is it okay to do this

That you have "experience" is not in doubt,…. if however you think you or myself cant LEARN anything , then its an untenable position to take on ANY subject. I repaired laptops for 10 years, I have experience too, like yourself, likely more than yourself in said area.
I refer you to maxamps.com, battery university, …. and Dr. Rudolph PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Technology Manager for Lithium-Ion Battery Factories: >
*Perhaps one of the worst locations for a Li-ion battery is in a laptop computer when used daily on a desktop with the charger connected much of the time
*Permanent Li-Po battery capacity loss is GREATEST at elevated temperatures where the battery voltage is maintained constantly at peak.
*There are two types of battery capacity losses: recoverable loss and permanent loss. Recoverable loss (drainage due to use) can be recovered by recharging the battery. Permanent capacitance loss is NOT recoverable mostly due to charging and discharging INCLUDING minor capacitance drop and gain (partial charging; also deemed bump charging).
*Always maintaining a Li-ion battery in a fully charged condition WILL SHORTEN its lifetime. Chemical changes occur in the Lithium Polymer pack-cell and lifetime diminishment begins and are accelerated by high float voltage and CELL DELAMINATION

10.4.3: My PB G4 is put to sleep all the time!

After upgrading to 10.4.3 I have big trouble with my quite new PB G4 1,67 with 1,5 G RAM.
Now and then it will go crazy and put it self to sleep. When I try to wake it it will go to sleep again, and again and so on. A restart can temporarily solve the problem for a while, but then - BOM - sleep again... and again and again...
Very annoying!
I have tried lots of stuff to solve this:
1. Repaired all file-rights
2. Checked the Energy savings; it will go to sleep even when I set it up to NEVER go to sleep...
3. Reset PRAM
4. Reset PMU
5. Cleared NVRAM
6. Checked the system.log, it says:
kernel[0]: System Sleep
kernel[0]: System Wake
over and over again, and no indication of why or what triggered the sleep.
7. Installed a temperature program (Temperature Monitor) to see if the computer was too hot or any sensors where broken. But found nothing, and the computer will go to sleep even when its cold.
8. Reinstalled the system twice (Archive and install) Even had problem when only using 10.4.0 - before any updates.
9. Ran Hardware test, all passed.
After all these actions I figured it was time to leave the computer at a Apple workshop, but they couldn't find anything and suggested it could be the extra 1 GB memory module. I took it out and everything worked for a while, but now the problem is back!
I then tried to start another account "test", but it wouldn't help either.
All I can think of now is that the memory module of 512 MB that came with the computer maybe is loose or something, will try to refit it tomorrow.
Or could it be the hard drive that is falling apart? (I dont have anything connected to the computer on USB or Firewire).
Am I the only one with this problem? Suggestions? Any help would be useful!
Thanks in advance.
PB G4 1,67 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Mogge,
Not sure if this is related, but my 2.0G G5 PowerMac puts itself to sleep too. The differences being that it only starts happening after I have used the Sleep function once, and it started happening around 10.4.2, but it then shows the same symptoms you are seeing.
I never queried it because I don't have to use Sleep on the PowerMac, I was just trying it when found this out.
Hope you get this problem resolved, and maybe my info will help spark someones brain into life!

MacBook Kernel Panics All The Time

My fife month-old MacBook seems to have a Kernel Panic everytime I try to move it (lift it up, put it down etc). Sometimes my MacBook even panics out of the blue, standing still on a smooth surface. I ran the hardware-tests, but they couldn't find any problems.
My panic.log-file follows:

My white MacBook (not C2D) has a 2GHz prossessor ad 1 GB RAM (All bought and installed by Apple).
I may have misplaced my topic, but I didn't know quite where to post it.
Thanks!

I'm so fed up with these Kernel Panics and Random
shutdowns! It seems like they occour more frequently
now than ever before.
So, you've done all the steps the other people have pointed you to? You've re-loaded the OS? You've swapped out RAM to see if that fixes things?
I don't know what to do next. Call Apple and
complain? I really don't have a clue. Any
suggestions?
I think it's probably time to take it to Apple. Either call them and explain what you've done to narrow down the problem or take it in to a repair center.
From your symptom (that it seems to panic when you move it) I'd wonder if there's a cold solder joint or broken trace on one of the boards, and when you move it a little bit, there's an electrical interruption or short that causes your panics.
I've never looked inside a MacBook, so I don't know if it's possible with that particular model, but I've seen similar kinds of things with other laptops.

Time Capsule Hard Drive Sleeps All The Time!

Hi All,
does anyone know whether it is possible to change the settings on the time capsule which decide after what period of time to sleep the HD? At the moment it seems very short, this basically means the hard drive is having to spin up from stationary almost every time I use it. Some applications don't like the 2-3 second delay in getting a response from the filesystem. I'd rather it go to sleep after 10-mins of inactvity. i think it's set to seconds at the moment. probably is not great for the HD either.

vadalus wrote:
yes, i know all those things. i was asking whether this could be changed.
no, you can't change this setting.
But the hard disk drive in the Time Capsule is enclosed in a very small case: it's better to have it in the idle state every time it's possible.

System sleeping all the time

Today my Powerbook G4 with 10.4.6 started going into sleep mode at completely random times with the power adapter plugged in. Normally, sleep occurs only after the screen has dimmed and after the screen saver kicks in. but today it would go to sleep within seconds of my input, with no dimming or screen saver. this only occurrred a few times, not all of the time, but its occurrence was becoming more frequent. i have shut down and started up and it still happens. occurrence is random so i can't really determine if its 'fixed'. i normally keep my laptop on all day and night and dont' shut down for days. i use the battery all the way down and then charge it up, but this was occuring with the adapter in, and the battery works fine. the system preferences are set to sleep after 20 minutes (not 20 seconds).

A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
WAKE UP
In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
FILE CORRUPTION
Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
ENERGY SAVER
If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the Combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
Yours would be the 10.4.6 Combo PPC update. Others reading, download the combo update that applies to you!
Cheers!

Should a macbook drive spin all the time?

I just replaced my 120gb with a 750gb, and it never stops spinning. It seems to use a lot more battery life too, becsues of the constent spinning I assume.
Its a samsung sata 5400rpm.

I do have the preferences for the hard drive to stop after 10 minutes of not reading/writing. With the original drive that came with the macbook I could tell when it spun down. There was a definate stop in vibration, like if you closed the lid and it went to sleep. Now, the vibration continues even when I have not loaded any new doc, web page, email, etc for 10 + min. I know it is not the fan either. Thats kicks on sometimes with streaming video, etc.
It has also been a couple of weeks since I set up the new drive, which should be plenty of time for spotlight to have indexed. I only have around 90gb on this 750gb drive.

My brand new macbook pro freezes ALL the time

Without even one single app running, this piece of garbage will freeze. I get the spinning pinwheel even when I open Finder. I have updated all software, don't game, never run more than two apps at a time, the two being iTunes and Safari.
I don't know what to do, I've had the notebook for literally less than a month and a half, and I am SO SO SO disappointed to the point that I hate it and want to break it. I have about 5 minutes from startup before I have to hard restart the computer, and once I do, it just stays frozen once it wakes back up.
I am at a loss, and any other message board I find is from 2011, where the "update" is that Apple has fixed the issue. My computer is by definition a worthless and useless two thousand dollar piece of machinery that I can't even use for longer than 5 minutes. I will not be purchasing another macbook. I just need to know how to deal with this one.

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care, get a case number and keep it handy.

After installing osx mavericks my macbook pro restarts all the time

after i installed osx mavericks my mackbook pro always restarts again and again
can someone help me?

I have the same problem with my 2012 imac.
Maverick is working great on two macbook airs but the imac crashs multiple times a day. It's killing me as it's our workhorse.

My Macbook Pro restarts all the time.

I have a Macbook Pro and I have been having nothing but trouble with it since I bought it from a rental company. The first trouble I had with it is anytime I wanted to add my music files to it I would end up having to restore and reinstall Mountain Lion. I have had to reinstall Mountain Lion several times in the last two weeks. If its not needign to be restored it is consitantly restarting on me. Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen and how would I fix it?

If you haven't done this yet, I would recommend erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Mountain Lion fresh. Then reinstall any applications from scratch. Don't use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import anything from your backups... copy only the specific data that you need manually to the new system.
If you have done that, or try it and it doesn't help, my bet would be that you have hardware problems.

MacBook Pro crashes all the time since installing Yosemite

My MacBook pro has become almost unusable since I installed Yosemite. I have a mid-2010 model MacBook Pro. It spontaneously shuts off and reboots itself very frequently-- so frequently I can't get anything done. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing or which applications I am running. I ran TechTool Pro and it repaired some files and permissions.   However, it's still spontaneously shutting off and rebooting just like before.   I'm starting to wonder if my machine is on its way out. Can anyone help?

Thank you for responding!   I ran Etrecheck and here's the report:
Problem description:
MacBook Pro (mid-2010 version) spontaneously shuts down and reboots very frequently since installing Yosemite.
