Putting MacBook to sleep

Hi
Sorry, if this has been asked before. I have been told that I should just put my mac to sleep when I am done. Why is this? I am used to turning off my pc when I am done.
Is it safe to travel with my Macbook in sleep?
Does the OS do system maintainance when it is in sleep?
I know there is very similiar posts which will answer my Q. If someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
David

Putting your MacBook to sleep is the same as putting a PC in standby. It will use a small amount of power while in sleep which, over a period of a few days, will probably drain your battery. If you're going to be away from a charger for a while, you can still shut down your MacBook to save power. When a PC is running Windows, a restart now and then helps to flush the system of a bunch of junk. You dont' really need to worry about that in OS X. There really isn't any harm in shutting down your MacBook if you choose to do so... there just isn't a need to.

  • Why did F4 beta uninstall itself after I put MacBook to sleep and had to be rebooted from the disc image?

    I put my MacBook to sleep with Firefox 4 beta open and when I went to use it again it had vanished. My spotlight search yielded v. 3.6 and the v.4 beta installation file (.dmg). I opened v. 3.6 and declined to transfer v4 Add-ons . All tabs that were opened on v.4 beta opened on v. 3.6. I closed 3.6 and reinstalled v.4 beta from the disc image. I was warned to replace previous version (3.6) - which I did. V4 beta installed intact (bookmarks, add-ons, history etc.) but I lost my open tabs. My only concern is that I was required to replace v. 3.6 and don't want to risk losing bookmarks and history if v. 4 proves unstable. I am otherwise pleased with the new look and performance.

    Yes, your iPhone has the classic signs of early onset Alzheimer's... 
    Assuming that nothing is pressing on the Home button when this occurs, try the basic steps as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    3. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup.
    If #3 doesn't help, there is a hardware problem such as a defective home button, and you should make an appt. with an Apple Store Genius bar.

  • Should I put MacBook to sleep or shut it down?

    At what time point does it make sense to shut down the MacBook as opposed to putting it to sleep? For instance, if I don't anticipate using it for 48 hours, should I shut it down? Thank you!

    My MB only ever gets shutdown/restarted when i do updates, or it is going to be closed in a bag for a long period of time. Otherwise its always put to sleep

  • Not putting Macbook to sleep

    Macbook has gotten more sluggish with ML even with 4GB's of RAM when rebooting and waking from sleep. The solution has been not to put it to sleep (other than the hard drive) and this has greatly improved performance. But will this harm the Macbook more than puting it to sleep? The tech I spoke with suggested I do this as he said it would be better than putting it to sleep everytime I walk away from it.

    On a full charge and put to sleep the MacBook's battery will last more than 10 days but less than 20. I know this because I forgot to turn my MacBook off before leaving for vacation this summer. I returned 20 days later and found that the computer needed to be plugged in before it would start so I know it won't last 20 full days. Over the winter holiday I intentionally put it to sleep before leaving and 10 days later when I returned it woke up showing under 1/2 a charge left. What I don't know is whether the computer's battery will be depleted on day 11 or in the middle of day 20 or somewhere between! Well, actually I do assume it is close to the 20 day mark than the 11 day mark.
    So when should you sleep it as opposed to turning it off? I generally turn it off (when I remember) if I'll be leaving it for more than a week. This has been my habit since buying my first PowerBook back around 1991.

  • Putting macbook to sleep only

    Is it ok to not shut down the macbook for a week? i mean just putting it to sleep even overnight so when i open it the next morning it would be faster?

    It wastes electricity, but I think it should be alright. Not very sure.

  • Firefox hangs after putting Macbook to sleep

    Firefox hangs after MacBook Pro is put to sleep. MAC OS X Snow Leopard. Normal service restored after force quit.

    This keeps happening to me as well on my brand new MBP.
    I suspect it has something to do with Panorama/Tab Groups.
    Most of the time after sleep FF won't respond, but when it finally does I usually switch to another Tab Group.
    The zoom animation for Panorama will freeze halfway through & I'll have to force quit.
    Funny thing is even with the Panorama animation frozen, I can still use the file menu & save my session with the Session Manager add-on.

  • Long Delay When Putting MacBook in Sleep Mode

    My 2 year old MacBook has recently started to take quite a bit of time to go into sleep mode. If I select sleep under the apple menu, it takes about 45-50 seconds for the screen to turn off. I can hear the computer running during this time - when the sound stops, the screen goes off and the sleep light begins blinking. In the past, my screen would go off immediately after selecting sleep mode. If I close it to launch it into sleep mode, the same thing happens - the sleep light doesn't start blinking for 45-50 seconds. I checked the Activity Monitor and nothing else is running that could cause the delay. Any thoughts?

    You should check the "Disk Activity" section of the Activity Monitor to see if there is a lot of disk activity occurring. Most likely, the delay is it copying the RAM contents to the hard drive. It may be otherwise but this would be my best guess.

  • Macbook to TV, Works fine until I put the Macbook to sleep then tv display

    Macbook to TV, Works fine until I put the Macbook to sleep,
    I wake the Macbook with external keyboard and the display shows up on TV just fine for a second or two then it looks like something changes and then it starts rolling.
    It does not do this when Macbook is awake it only does it after it's put to sleep.

    Probably the resolution is switching from a mirrored resolution to some other resolution that the TV can't work from. Try this; shut down the MacBook. Cable up the TV to the MB and also the external keyboard and mouse. Hold down the Shift key on the external keyboard, hit the start button on the MacBook and immediately close the lid on the MB after you've hit the start button. Continue holding the Shift key down on the external keyboard until you see the grey screen with the spinning gear at which time you can release the Shift key. The MB should now finish starting up in Safe mode with only the external screen being on. Hopefully the screen will not be rolling.
    Once the MB finishes booting, go into System Preferences/Displays and set the resolution to the optimal/desired resolution for your TV. Hopefully this choice will stick through subsequent restarts and also correct the issue of the rolling screen under the conditions in the scenario you described.

  • I use MacbookPro late 2011 with Maverick, when i put iPhone 5 or another cellphone askew on left corner of touch pad and slide it to keyboard, the macbook will sleep, i don't know what the problem is, it occur on another macbook pro late 2011

    I use MacbookPro late 2011 with Maverick, when i put iPhone 5 or another cellphone askew on left corner of touch pad and slide it to keyboard, the macbook will sleep, i don't know what the problem is, it occur on another macbook pro late 2011

    It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
    Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
    As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
    Was there an update maybe ?

  • MacBook Pro mid 2010 putting itself to sleep and restarting on wake-up?

    My mid 2010 MacBook Pro has recently started having a lot of problems. It will put itself to sleep whilst I am working on it, and when I try tp wake it up it restarts showing a message saying 'Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press any key to continue..' however it doesn't tell me what the problem is. This can happen every 5 minutes or once an hour but it is becoming very irritating. I have previously done a PRAM and SMC restart, they made no difference. I can't think of any recent programmes I have installed to cause this problem, other than updating to mountain lion 10.8.5. Im not very computer savvy either, so understanding much of what is online is not easy.

    You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
    Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
    Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
    Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
    If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
    *An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

  • My macbook pro keeps restarting after i put it to sleep.

    I have a Macbook pro 15" retina display.  I began to have this problem after i installed Yosemite, I put it to sleep and after 20 minutes aproximately, it restarts. Sounds, light, everything.

    Wow, second thread I stumbled across as I just now started trying to further research this happening to me. Thought it was related to an eSATA Express card I started recently using, but today, I just picked my MBP up off of a table and put it in my lap and it paniced.

  • Putting Your Macbook to Sleep?

    What is the difference between closing your macbook & pressing apple-sleep? My friend aid that it is better to put your computer to sleep by pressing the apple then hitting sleep. I have been just closing it. Is there a difference? Is one sleep mode better than the other?

    I think years ago Macs did go into different depths of sleep depending whether you selected sleep or they dropped into sleep.
    However with the MacBook, well certainly with my MacBook, the sleep is the same whether I select sleep from the Apple Menu or I shut the lid. There is no difference, you hear the disk running for about 20 seconds whilst the hibernate image is saved, then the disk shuts down, and the fans stop if running, and the sleep light starts to pulse.
