Restart every night vs Sleep?

I just thought I'd ask for user opinions on this. I have Quickeys set to restart my computer after my backups run at 3am. An Apple Tech said its a good idea to restart the computer daily as maintenance is done on restart. On the other hand, I know many just put their computer to sleep for days without restarting as OSX is so stable. I've done this also. The advantage of just putting the computer to sleep is that I return to the work where I left off.
Any thoughts on whether its a good idea to restart daily or is it fine just to put your computer to sleep for a few days. I do find that due to software updates I frequently have to restart anyway so I might be restarting enough around this for whatever these startup maintenance routines do to keep the computer good. Oh and I guess the one thing I've always noticed with a restart is that memory is freed up. But I have 4 gigs and never get anywhere near that; maybe 2.5 gigs at most throughout the course of my day.

Hi Kerry,
I'm not sure there is a "right" answer on this one. I remember reading, some time back, an article that recommended sleep vs shutdown/restart because booting a computer causes a "surge" on the electronics, which is not good for them and reduces a device's life. I don't know if that was "true" at the time, and if so, if it continues to be, but there it is fwiw. I think the bottom line is it's personal preference, although more and more I suppose we should be considering power draw, even as low as it is in sleep.
It has always been my practice to let my PBs/MBP sleep, and restart only as necessary. I'm sure I've gone a month or two between restarts, probably more at times. I do it purely for convenience, and (knock on wood ), I've never had a PB/MBP die on me (and that goes back to 1992). I still use the Pismo I got in 2000 periodically, and regularly use the TiBook I got in 2004, though I use my MBP by far the most. In any case, I'm on my MBP right now, while the other two are sitting here at arm's reach, asleep until I wake them.

  • Should I shut down my iPhone every night? Sleep vs shut-down.

    Hi, If I never use my phone during the night, should I shut it right down every night? How much energy is used when the iPhone "sleeps" for 8 hours?
    Thanks for your thoughts on this!

    My battery will loose about 10% (polling email every hour, and push IM left on) over 7.5 hours.
    You can leave it on and I think Apple intend people do, because otherwise alarms will not go off, I use the alarms to wake me up The best option is to leave it on and plugged in.

  • IPhone 6 restarts every night by itself

    This did not happen until 8.0.2. I will set my alarm, plug in my phone, and go to sleep. My alarm goes off in the morning, I snooze. When it comes on again, I slide to stop and get up. The screen comes up that says "Touch ID needs you to enter your passcode after restarting" something like that. Every day. It is quite annoying. I've let the battery drain down and I've also rebooted the phone myself (I refuse to wipe it clean and start all over again).
    Any ideas on this? As an Apple user since the 80s, I am simply not use to their products malfunctioning.

    Basic trouble shootings steps - restart, reset, restore from backup if no joy then as new.
    But doesn't sound like your here for trouble shooting advice since you refuse to one of the basic steps.

  • Mac Mini/Mountain Lion sleeps but won't wake up (or crashes) every night.

    Hi everybody,
    I have a mid-2010 mac mini server on which I recently installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 (without server stuff).
    Every night, it stops responding. The led is on but the display is off and it does not respond to mouse/keyboard. I even tried remote desktop.
    The only solution is the power button...
    What I already did :
    - Reset Pram/Nvram
    - Reset SMC
    I also took a look at the console and I found a message that is fired just before the machine stops responding.

    Any clue ?

    Hi, I'm quite interested by your issue, because i get the exact same one.
    On my mini (late 2012), system doesn t wake up from sleep if it has slept for more than 1 hour.
    In fact I get the exact same message as you get in your console.
    When I try and wake up system before the programmed maintenance wakeup, it wakes up fine.
    But as soon as this programmed time has passed, it just won t wake up, I have to force switch it off via the power button and restart it.
    I have nothing plugged on my mini except : AC - Thunderbolt display, and LAN connected to my freebox.
    Do you still have the issue or is it ok now for you ?
    I'll try in the upcoming days to plug the freebox in the thunderbolt display's adapter instead of the macmini's rj45.

  • Alu iMac wakes up from sleep every night

    Since I have installed the last Leopard Security Update my iMac wakes up from sleep every night at 1 pm.
    Enyone has an explanation?

    I have the same problem, i am located in France and the wake up tile is also 1:00 AM i have some doubt about Elgato Eye TV could be the root cause.
    I have seen that in main admin account the eye tv helper task is lauch during logging.
    I remove it, and the mini does not wake up this nignt, but ...
    When i launch Eye TV, it installed again eye tv helper task...

  • Every morning I have a message saying my iMac has restarted due to a Sleep Wake Failure problem.  What is this and how do I fix it?

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

    I've already installed the new Firefox, but every night, I keep getting a box that asks if I want to restart Firefox to install the new version. This happens all the time. Why am I getting this box if it's already installed?

    Thanks for getting back to me; i was not able to get to the computer until now.
    No, not thru web access; it is via the Outlook provided thru Microsoft Office.

  • MBP wakes up at 3.00 am every night then goes to black sleep

    I've got this strange behavior on my MBP: every night, at 3.00 am it wakes up.
    Console reports:
    24/5/2008 3:00:03 AM kernel System Wake
    Then, after half a minute:
    24/5/2008 3:00:34 AM ScreenSaverEngine[632] Screen saver is running in blackout mode.
    When I wake at 6.00am I see it on, not in sleep mode, only the screen is a strange backlit black. I touch any key, the login screen comes up, I type my password, then put it to sleep.
    What gives? Does this serve a purpose that escapes me? Can I change it?
    Thanks, people.

    Right, people, the good news first: Zhiblin's suggestion seems spot-on, as when I delete the .plist file and Shutdown the MacBook Pro having set it clock to 2:59:00 am, it doesn't seem to auto-turn on again. I waited for a minute after shutdown to make sure it didn't.
    The bad news: if I go into System Preferences, Energy Saver, Schedule, then check and immediately uncheck (i.e. as if I didn't make any change whatsoever) the Wake/Sleep checkboxes (either of them or both) then OK out of the dialog, then set the clock once again to 2:59:00 am and shutdown, sure enough the MacBook Pro will turn itself on (wrong behavior, as I didn't instruct it to; I checked and then unchecked, remember?) within a few seconds.
    Moral of the story: until Apple fix this bug (can anyone tell if this is fixed in 10.5.3, by the way?) if you don't want it to happen, stay out of the Schedule pane of Energy Saver. Or, if you're already there, then touch nothing. Cancel out, not OK out of it.
    Or, of course, if you have OKed out of it, then go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ and delete "com.apple.AutoWake.plist"
    Which of course negates the value of the "Schedule" feature of OS X. Until Apple kills the bug.
    Thanks for the tip, Zhiblin!

  • IMac wakes from sleep every night at 8:00 PM but no wake time set.

    My iMac (new fall, 2007) running 10.5.2 wakes every night at 8:00 PM Eastern day savings time. Before day light saving time started it woke at 7:00 PM. In the energy control panel "schedule section" the "start up or wake option" in NOT checked.
    The exact same problem occurs in a mini Mac purchased last fall which is also running 10.5.
    I applied the new firmware update to the iMac last week hoping it would correct this problem but it did not.
    Does anyone have any idea how to stop these computers from waking at 8:00 PM every night.

    Setting the wake time to 8:00 PM did stop the computer from waking up every night at 0:00 GMT.
    See this discussion: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7075146&#7075146
    I view this as a work-around and not a fix. The Apple technical support representative, that I talked to, knew nothing about this problem.

    Update:
    Thanks for the input.
    I uninstalled Sophos and re-installed the LCC driver.
    Next morning, Friday, it had not re-started.
    Saturday morning it had restarted.
    We left for the evening on Saturday about 6:00 pm.  Upon return around 11:00 pm it was trying to restart with the crossed circle and spinning gear.
    I shut down, un-plugged cord, waited 1 minute, re-started, all OK.
    This morning it had restarted in the night.
    Here is the log:

  • SHOULD MACINTOSH COMPUTERS BE SHUT DOWN EVERY NIGHT?

    Should I shut down my iMac every night?

    My Mac's sleep 24-7 and I only shut them down when I'm gone for more than a day or two.
    Mac's can easily go beyond 45 days without being shutdown or restarted.

  • HP LaserJet 600 M602 printer goes offline every night

    Hi,
    I have a HP LaserJet 600 M602 CE991A printer on a wired network. I have quite a few other printers on the network as well and do not show me this kind of behavior.
    But for some reason, this printer, from as soon as I bought it, goes offline every time from around 5.20-5.30pm to around 8.30pm. I have a ping tester running as I am trying to figure out what's going on and I got 100% drop every night for that time period.
    I looked to see if there was a setting that puts this device to sleep or so but no, I cant find anything. I have tried with the energy setting sleep mode on or off, wake up events to trigger a wake up call to the printer but no luck.
    Firmware Bundle Version3.2.5
    Firmware Revision2302908_435019
    Firmware Date Code20140529
    I am out of options, in our other locations, we have sam printer but a CE993A models and they do not show this kind of behavior at all.
    I am at a deadlock here.

    Hi @Halan ,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
    What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
    Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 100 functioned printer M175nw cleaning every night

    I have a 
    HP LaserJet Pro 100 multifunctionele kleurenprinter M175nw. Runs fine in a wireless network.
    The printer is used some times but also a week not at all. After 15 min the printer goes into sleep mode and after two hours or so the device switches off except the green standby light for receiving new wireless jobs.
    Problem i have is that nearby every night the printer runs with a lot of noise, in the middle of the night. It looks like he is cleaning the drums or turning the cartridges or the drum. It SOUNDS like he is prepairing for printing but there is no job at all. After a few minutes the device stops and goes back to sleep. I am doiing it also than.
    Is this a service property of this machine and can i switch it off? It takes energy and wakes me up! 

    Hi @jeroegro,
    I see that the printer is going into a cleaning mode in the evening and you would like to be able to turn this service off.
    I can help you today.
    I couldn't find any settings through the printers control panel to turn this service off.
    Either turn the printer off manually or you can set the printer to power off after so many hours, through the menus.
    Go to Setup, System Setup menu, (wrench button) Energy Settings, Auto Power Down, set the time.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.
