Need to click Apple- Sleep 2 to 3 times for getting MacBook to Sleep

I have recently purchased 13.3" MacBook Pro ( Core i3 2.5GHz , 4 GB RAM). Initially, it had 10.7.4 installed, but i have upgrade to 10.8.2
Now, my problem is that my MacBook doesn't go to sleep when i close the lid, though i am used to using Apple->Sleep method before closing the lid.
But now, i have to click that shortcut twice or sometimes thrice to get it to sleep.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It depends on which password you are referring to, but generally speaking you can always restore the Apple TV.

    did Yamaha/Apogee ever work out the problem that you couldn't use mLAN drivers for the XS (it's not really mLAN, it's "based on" right?) and Apogee drivers at the same time?
    I think Yamaha has updated their drivers twice since you and I last exchanged ideas on this.
    You've got killer hardware, and while I'm sure it's possible to set up an XS to send MTC and for Logic 8 to deal with correctly, it's just backwards of the way I use (almost) the same tools. My experience is the same, control Logic from the Motif, only it's so much more than just stop/start, and locate. Your XS is made to be a remote controller for Logic, sliders, transport controls, even the info for tracks and plug-ins (in Logic!) show up on your XS display and you can do plenty without touching the keyboard or mouse... Besides the sound of the Motifs, they're just great at doing this kind of stuff too... I personally wouldn't consider anything else...
    I don't want to send you down a path that won't work if the two vendors in question haven't solved this yet, but... I want to help you but deep inside I think you're approaching your top-of-the-line gear backwards...
    of course, if this is still a vendor incompatibility thing... then you have no choice.
    pages 839 (the graphic is on page 838) of the Logic user manual under "listen to MMC input" describes what you need to set in Logic 8 to make this work. Since I don't have an XS, I can't point you to the correct pages for that.
    I really hope you can get this to work.

  • HT204053 i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone.  how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

    i have an apple id on my ipod & another for my macbook & iphone.  how do i change the id for my ipod to match the one for my macbook & iphone?

    To change the ID:
    For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive (Receive At in iOS 5), tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>Facetime.
    For Purchasing, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Stores (Settings>Store in iOS 5).
    For iCloud, you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.  Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPod.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Why do i need to restart my imac everyday like ten times to get it to work, also the screen displays little digital squares.

    Hi Matt,
    I purchased my imac in November of 2010 and below is a cut and past from Hardware overview. It has 1 TB hardrive, with 670 GB free. When i start up in the morning, it boots normal then freezes. Half the time i can get it to restart before it freezes, other half i have to power down then restart. At the same time throughout this process the little pixel squares show up sometimes in a single line or two aross the screen, then sometimes more random. After about 7 times of rebooting, everything runs fine for the day with no weird pixels. then i shut down at night, and start the porcess over in the morning. Thanks for your help!

  • Need to be plugged in or push on battery to get Macbook Pro to turn on

    I wonder if I am the only one with this program. I had my original battery swell and they replaced the battery at the Apple Store last year. Since then, when I try to just turn it on without being plugged in it won't turn on everytime.
    Sometimes I have to push on the battery and hold the power button at the same time to get it to power on or I just have to plug it in and it starts right up. Funny thing is after I get it on, I can unplug it and it runs just fine.
    Does anybody else have that problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Thats sounds like a bad connection, have you tried cleaning the connections with a cotton bud and bit of isopropyl alcohol ?
    If that doesn't fix it and it's repeatable take it to an AppleStore and get a genius to take a look at it for you.

  • Apple Tech. Service Turnaround Time For Repairs?

    I contacted Apple today and made arrangements to send my phone in for either repair or replacement (hope it's repair...) because my usage meter is still not functioning...and my touchscreen has suddenly lost a big degree of sensitivity, taking sometimes 2-3 taps for each function.
    They were kind enough to wave the $30 loaner fee for me, and my Apple Care loaner should be here tomorrow.
    My question: how long is the turnaround time for normal repairs or replacements with Apple?
    I would like my phone back ASAP, naturally.
    Thanks for the help!!

    You're welcome.
    I realize this process seems like it will be inconvenient but it actually works quite well. I went through this within the first few weeks after 6/29 due to occasional crackling with the earpiece. My iPhone was exchanged for a new one and I was impressed with the process. I preferred having Fed-Ex deliver the loaner iPhone - using the same box to return my iPhone and doing the same with my replacement and the loaner iPhone. For me this is preferable than driving to a store and waiting in line, etc. and then returning later to repeat that process. I like doing this from the comforts of home or in my situation, from the comforts of my office.
    Don't sweat it - it will end up being all good.

  • Which Apple Care plan do I buy for my MacBook?

    I fudged on buying Apple Care when I purchased my laptop in 8/06, but with the "complimentary" warranty running out, I want to sign up. Yes, I know my Apple Store or Apple online will sell me the correct one but I'm shopping around on Amazon and eBay for cheaper prices and the model numbers quoted there don't seem to match those here: http://support.apple.com/specs/macbook/macbook.html
    I thought I was MA519LL/A. Can someone clarify?
    MacBook 13" White 2.0 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   512 memory cache

    There is only one AppleCare plan for a MacBook, so if the product listing says it's for a MacBook, it should be fine. Just make sure it's for a MacBook, not the MacBook Pro. Here's the link to the plan on Amazon:

  • Does apple make a black charging cable for a MacBook air?

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for a black charging cable for my new MacBook Air. I realize that this sounds like a ridiculous request, but my cat has an affinity for white cords. Anyone know where I can find one?

    Bloody Cats,
    I have  a similar problem unfortunately they don't, the Patent protection on Apple's Mag Safe tech is mostly likely why you can buy a non Apple one.

  • Does your Apple TV take a long time to get to the main menu?

    I have my Apple TV hooked up via HDMI to a Panasonic Plasma. Everything works pretty good except for the recurring missing from devices in iTunes. A restart of iTunes always brings it back.
    I'd like to know if my experience with slow start up is normal. When I switch from my regular TV output to the HDMI output for my Apple TV it takes a really long time to start up. I will get my photos that are my screensaver after about 1 minute. Then it takes another minute and a half or more to get to the main menu after pressing the menu button on the remote. Is this normal? Should it be connecting faster? If so, what can I do to the settings to speed things up.
    Thanks for the help.
    Cheers
    mrjazz

    it can vary depending on the TV you have.
    HDMI handshaking isn't the most reliable thing (in any device).

  • Does an adapter for a pair of old apple pro speakers(model no:M6531) for a macbook pro (model no: A1278) exist?

    I recently bought the speakers stupidly thinking they would just work with my macbook -the socket in my macbook book isn't compatible. I'm not great with technology, so simply straight forward help will be MUCH appreciated!

    Hi Kappy,
    I appreciate your input in telling me that the new 'L' shape design is more safer than the old 'T' shape design, I didn't know that either. However, there are quite a few third parties out there on google selling what they describe as. 'Genuine apple adapters for many of apple's computers not just the MacBook Pro, Amazon market sellers in the UK are just one, but I think you can find them in the US as well by third party sellers. Anyway, it was these options that I was looking at which prompted my original question besides taking into consideration the cost difference.  I mean if you can find a genuine apple adapter elsewhere for a more reasonable price you are going to save some money aren't you?  However, that said, I would prefer the product to be genuine if it is stated as so and, I would want it to last as long as possible if I am paying good money for it.  Therefore, I am taking a risk in buying from a third party if I go ahead and purchase what they have to offer, whereas if I purchased from Apple then I would expect it to be the real thing.  However, I wanted to explore all the questions and answers first before I decide which party I will buy the product from.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Magic Mouse: Why Does It Need to Be Clicked When Restarting or Booting from Shutdown to Get Detected All the Time?

    Hi. I'm using Snow Leopard via USB external drive (the hardisk is blank- testing something with Leopard). When I start the late 2009 iMac and boot with the Option Key, I need to click the Magic Mouse all the time so the mouse can be detected and move the cursor to the Snow Leopard icon ( in its boot menu ). After the Magic Mouse is detected, it's good from there.
    Is this normal or there's something wrong with the Magic Mouse? The keyboard doesn't need to be pressed though to be detected, it's detected each time.
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless, Rev. 21:4

    I cannot see why you should have to click the magic mouse in order for it to be detected ... unless you have changed the batteries.  See my notes which cover the points made in your other recent post.
    Batteries.  Here are a few notes I've put together.
    Whether you use regular or rechargeable batteries you should buy the best. Discounted or unbranded batteries are more likely to give a depleted performance and may be of irregular size, often leading to connection problems.
    Apple’s own brand, Eneloop and Energiser appear to be the best. Rechargeable batteries for the standard Magic mouse are unlikely to exceed eighteen days before needing a recharge although the mouse itself can be a limiting factor.  I have seen reports that some Logitech mice vastly exceed this.    Apple may suggest more in their sales blurb but this is a realistic expectation.  The benefit (if you are organised) is that you can always have charged batteries available.  Regular batteries will give you between 25 and 35 days before they need to be replaced. Note.
    Never mix old and new batteries or rechargeable and regular.
    The notes above are based on my personal experience, not shutting down my machine and using it for around four hours per day.  Note.  Monitors do not always faithfully report battery strength, particularly the rechargeable ones. 
    When checking your mouse or keyboard batteries ... Turn off the device. Remove the batteries, Clean the terminals both inside the battery compartment and the batteries themselves. Replace or renew both batteries. Turn on the device.  You should get a blinking green light if the device is paired. Click the mouse to activate it.  The green light becomes steady.
