SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep

SSD and corrupted menu after deep sleep
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 13 inches (9,2).
I run it with 16GB of ram and OSX 10.8.4
I replaced the internal HD with an Adata SX-910 model (512GB) SSD.
(http://us.adata-group.com/index.php?...cid=3&piid=183)
It runs really fast! Boot time is 10 seconds! :-)
However I have a major problem! When I MacBook Pro will end the battery energy and will go below 3 percent, the Mac will go to sleep itself. When I will start back the Mac, with the power connected, every time I will see the desktop colors corrupted and the menu of Apple Safari, Apple Mail and few others gone! Only solution is to re-install Mac OSX!
I took the Mac to an Apple center and Apple did NOT find any problem with the Mac itself. I have returned the Adata to the vendor and got a new one (with latest firmware).... However I have discovered that the problem is happening again! :-(
I have tried to use Insomnia smartspleep tool, but does not work as expected.I think that only solution is to re-charge the battery before it goes below 3 percent.....
please note: using the trim enabler tool did NOT solved the issue:-(
Any suggestion?
Maybe it is indeed an issue related only to Adata SSD? I am confused and frustrated.

Clinton,
Apple hibernation has three modes. By default, on laptops it suspends the system and make a copy of RAM to disk for a completely safe hibernate. When you have 8 Gigabytes of RAM it takes twenty or thirty seconds to write that RAM image. I suspend/resume often during my day and don’t want to wait. This has worked really well for me.
You can change the Mac’s hibernate behavior using pmset; here’s the reference for it:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pmset.1. html
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0″ = suspend to RAM only (default on desktops)
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1″ = suspend to disk only
“sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3″ = suspend to disk + RAM (default on laptops)
How can I set my MacBook Pro to go into deep sleep, I guess it is mode 0, BEFORE the 3 minutes remaing time? I think to be safe, it should go to deep sleep automatically when it is around 15 percent batter level.....

    Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
    Before Resetting the SMC
    Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
    Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
    Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
    Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
    Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Still having problems? Replace steps 6 and 7 with the following:
    Reconnect just the MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer,
    Then reconnect the battery.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • IPod gets stuck when it starts play mostly after deep sleep

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my 60G Video iPod:
    Most of the times it gets stuck completely when I start use it after deep sleep (it hasn't been used for night etc.).
    The problem is very consistent:
    1. I turn it on.
    2. Start playing some song.
    3. See the 'normal' play screen (song timer is 0:0)
    4. Hear spinning and clicks of hard drive and ....
    5. It just freezes: doesn't response to any key (including Hold)
    Only Reset helps now and when I generally get Folder icon with exclamation point and
    it needs at least another reset to be able use it.
    I updated iPod to the last version (1.1) - doesn't help.
    It passed through Restore - same results: Every second turning on it gets stuck.
    Does anybody have/know about similar behavior?
    I think I have to ask Yeda for help?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • I have a new MacBook Pro Mid 2012 and it goes into deep sleep when I disconnect if from AC power.

    I have a new 13" MacBook Pro mid 2012 and it goes into deep sleep when it is disconnected from AC power.  I have to press the power button to wake it up.  Is this a known issue or is there something wrong with the MacBook Pro?

    There are a few threads about this around. Its a known issue for 2012 non retina users, not sure about Apple. It should not work this way and Apple has not put out an update to fix it yet. Check out these threads for some workarounds. I think I saw if you reinstall and don't update one of the updates you get normal functionality back. Otherwise there are some terminal changes you can make to make it operate mostly normally. I made some changes in terminal.

  • Macbook Pro Retina Mountain lion freezes after deep sleep

    Hello All,
    I am having a strange problem with my MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012 (Mountain Lion 10.8.3). Since about January time It keeps crashing after I put it into a deep sleep. After closing the lid - waiting for 1 hour or so - then reopening the lid, i get presented with the normal Apple login screen (breifly) and then it crashes and i get a grey screen saying my mac has had an issue and it needs to restart.
    When i log back on i get an error message that I can send onto Apple and then my Mac carries on as normal. Very weird.
    I have searched these forums, been into the Apple store, spoken to Apple done hardware diagnostics, reinstalled the OS (worked breifly then stopped working again) - so i assume its one of the programs or bits of hardware that i use (which i have tried to isolate/remove)- but i am still strugling to solve these issues.
    It would be great if someone could give me some advice around:
    1. Where I can find these log files/error messages, etc.
    2. Understanding what it is causing this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    The solution is to dump the 100€ mini-display port DVI-D adapter that apple sells and buy a mini-Display to Display-Port cable for 6€. No crashes, no annoying interruption of the display (which I had several times the day for 2 or 3 seconds). There are very short interruptions now, but it is much better than with the apple adapter. The apple adapter needs a USB port, which is not necessary with the simple cable.
    As for the monitor: Burn In, otherwise great. The burn in can be erased via monitor menu but should not be there in the first place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charging Problem after Deep Sleep

    Hey
    All works fine but, when i wake up my MacBook from the Deep Sleep Mode, it seems, that my MacBook doesn´t know, if the MacSafe is plugged in or not.
    Normally, when you plug in the MacSafe, in the menu bar the batterie status goes to "charging". But after the Deep Sleep Mode, my MacBooks doesn´t know, that i turn off the MacSafe. All the time, it shows the status, "charged" in the menu bar.
    So the Problem is, that my MacBook doesn´t show the right charging status in the menu bar. So i
    don´t know, how the batterie status is.
    That´s very strange.
    Somebody who can help me?

    if you haven't already try listing your problem in the Powerbook forum. Sounds like its most likely an issue with the PB.
    Also, have you tried putting the ipod in different settings? As in;
    Enable Disk Mode
    ->itunes open
    ->itunes closed
    Open itunes when this ipod is connected
    ->itunes open
    ->itunes closed
    and then combining the two...

  • Songs seem lost after deep sleep

    After I wake my iPod Photo from deep sleep, none of the songs show in the menus. The only way to fix this is connecting it to my iBook. This is ofcourse very irritating, because I don't always have my iBook with me. I have updated the iPod recently but it doesn't help. I haven't always had this problem.
    Does someone recognise this and knows what to do?

    I had this same problem and finally went back and reinstalled version of iPod updater 2005-03-23. I purchased by photo ipod last February and it worked fine until I updated with 2005-6-6-26 version, and then it started the problem with the music disappearing and needing to hook it back to my Mac so the music would show up. It does appear to be corrupting the directory, because the music is still on the iPod, but it does not display as being there on any of the munus.
    I am currently running version 1.2.1 of the iPod updates, and it does lock up from time to time, but I can easily do a manual reset, and the tunes are still there.
    I have not run the updates because each time it causes the same problem to come back.

  • Keyboard works intermittently after deep sleep

    Hi,
    when my Macbook Pro comes back from deep sleep (i.e. if battery went out during the night, with the mac in sleep), the keyboard first works just long enough for me to log in, then starts working intermittently, like for 15seconds periods every 5 minutes or so.
    The only solution is to reboot my computer.
    10.5.1 didn't solve the problem.
    That problem is a definite showstopper. It renders my computer unusable.

    I turned off deep sleep 2 months ago and still had the missing first key stroke problem.
    then upgraded to 10.5 then had the total keyboard freeze. seemed to happen more on battery power. repaired disk permission and the freeze has stopped but still random missing keystrokes it seems to happen most in highlighted dialog boxes. turning off bluetooth helped with erratic track pad when waking from sleep

  • I have iMac 27.  After Mountain Lion install, my trackpad freezes partially after deep sleep and need to restart to get it working again.  anyone with same issue?

    I have an iMac 27 and installed Mountain Lion last week.  Since then, after a deep overnight sleep, certain of my trackpad functions are frozen after i wake the Mac.  i need to restart the computer in order to get the trackpad fully functional.  Anyone with same issue or ideas?

    I'm having the exact same issue with Mountain Lion on my 2008 17" MacBook Pro. I've just tried the SMC reset, so we'll see how that does. The problem was intermittent, occuring not after every wake--from-sleep, but every few.
    Interestingly, my 2007 17" MacBook Pro is also running Mountain Lion (the oldest MacBook Pro than can!), and hasn't had this problem at all.

  • M73 start problems and corrupted registry after windows updates

    Hi,
    we are a Lenovo reseller, having had not a lot troubles so far with M72 models in the past.
    Since M73 the problems have dramatically exploded. We had so far 5 machines, on which we had to run the Factory Recovery as the OS won't start or was corrupted. It appears that especially after a windows updates the chances of a not starting Windows is very high - Windows repair mostly fails.
    Is this a known issue? Does others have the same troubles? Any chance to fix this?
    We are currently reviewing all Lenovo installations and will decide whether we still want to sell them or not. Our business clients are not happy about such an instable installation.

    We purchased many M72e's and recently appx 100 m73 standard builds and 100 recent custom M73 ax builds, we are regretting this right now. We are scrambling to try to keep these machines functioning properly. At first they seem good but they have tons of issues we are discovering, out fo our  new 100, so far we have 10 dead machines, another bunch that have usb issues even after doing bios updates. Many pc's have issues with usb devices not working in one port but will in another. I believe lenovo has a serous problem on their hands with these machines they don't realize or want to admit.
    Being the reseller puts you in a bad spot with a product like this. I believe this is a huge liability to anyone at this point in time, I will be going back to our reseller to deal with lenovo b/c I didn't get the help I was looking for with them directly. GOOD LUCK!

  • Macbook Pro trackpad and keyboard freezes after attempting sleep mode

    I bought this computer on April 2008. It has the latest OS X 10.5.6 and it did not accept the trackpad firmware. I tried to install and the software said "this computer does not need this update".
    This has been happening a lot when I am using Skype while talking to someone with video and sound. The computer tries to go on sleep mode because I am not typing or touching it - it thinks I am away because I am just talking and watching the person on the other side.
    I touch the computer to avoid getting on sleep mode and with that it freezes the trackpad and keyboard. I continue to listen and see the other person and they continue to see me and hear me, but I cannot move the "mouse" cursor on the screen or type anything. Neither can I force to quit anything. The only thing that works is to close the computer and open again, that forces the computer to go into sleep mode then I can make it wake up again by opening it and touching any key on the keyboard.
    This have been interrupting Skype calls and a study I am conduting. I have to keep touching the computer trackpad to not let it sleep ever. I am concerned is something with the battery or maybe it needs some kind of firmware.
    This is very recent, just started happening this week (March 2009). I have not added any new software or any hardware to the machine.
    What can I do to make the trackpad and keyboard stop freezing when the computer tries to sleep?

    this is in the wrong category. I added a new message to the right category: MacBook Pro but I don't know how to delete it from here.

  • How do I fix missing and corrupted images after update to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4?

    Last night I tried to update to Aperture 3.4 on my MacBook Pro (late 2007 / 3,1 model) and received a message that I needed to install Mountain Lion 10.8.2 first.  However, there was no update in my App Store account for 10.8.2.  The update for 10.8.2 appeared above the Aperture 3.4 update after I restarted the laptop and rechecked for updates.  I proceeded to update Mountain Lion and then Aperture.  Everything seemed to be working fine so I opened Aperture 3.4 and watched it update the database without any issues...
    Upon examining the small library (of approximately 1200 images totaling about 8 GB) that I leave on this MacBook Pro specifically for testing Aperture updates, I observed the following:
    I know anything can happen with stored images, so I try to create redundancy by duplicating important photos on import to an external device, running Time Machine backups and keeping memory cards stored away until I am comfortable with the integrity of the first 2 methods.  I am not really worried about this specific Aperture Library on this laptop because it has become my "laboratory" for testing new updates before we apply them to our other computers.
    In general, I try not to be too early of an adopter when it comes to software and updates--even though I have had remarkably few problems with Apple updates in the past.  However, my success rate with Apple's products and "feature curiosity" occasionally leads me to update early!  It is my curiosity that, again, has me wondering:  What went wrong and how can I fix this in case it happens to something important in the future?

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

  • Losing Songs after Deep Sleep - still happening

    I thought my issue with the Song Library disappearing had magically fixed itself, but it has returned. Three times in the past week the library has been empty when turning on my 20GB iPod. I don't think it had even been 36 hours since the last time I used it.
    The reset option does not work in this instance for me. Everything shows backup as soon as I connect via the USB cable.
    The previous posts on this issue have all been closed. Is this still happening for other users or is there a fix? I am running version 1.2.1.
    My next thing to try is a total reformat to see if that helps.
    Thanks.

  • Deep Sleep OSX then Boot Windows

    I've recently installed Windows 7 using Boot Camp - like a lot of people, I just use it for gaming. It works well, but it'd be a thousand times more pleasant to switch between the two if I could have OSX boot back into the same state that I left it in; I know that deep sleep writes the state to the hard drive, so it should be possible to boot into Windows and then resume OSX from deep sleep later, but I can't seem to access the boot options after deep sleep - it automatically resumes the OSX session when I hit the power button.
    I know it should be possible, perhaps using a little EFI trickery, but I'm at a loss for where to begin. Any ideas, anyone?

    Just sharing. I had tried the following that does not work:
    - While in OS X, start Terminal and run /efi/refit/enable.sh. Then put the Mac to deep sleep.
    - When I power up the Mac, the efi menu will appear and I am able to select to boot OS X or Bootcamp.
    - When I select OS X, the Mac will try to recover from the deep sleep mode, but it is never able to complete booting up successfully. The progress bar will get stuck just after the second indicator.
    - I then have to hard shutdown the Mac.
    - The next time when I power it up, it will boot normally into OS X as if the sleep image does not exist.

  • 10.9.4 update causing deep sleep wake reboots

    MacBook Pro mid-2012 15"
    2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    After Mavericks 10.9.4 update, my computer started rebooting after deep sleep during charging. When I close the lid and plug in MagSafe, a few hours later, when opening the lid, I get the user choosing screen with a message saying that my computer was restored due to a problem.
    This only started happening after I updated to 10.9.4. I have searched these forums and google, but I only get responses saying that this update was supposed to fix this problem. A problem that I did not have before.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    Cheers,

    After it restarts, does a dialog box resembling the following appear?
    If it does, click the Report... button, copy the entire text of the report, and paste it in a reply.
    If it does not, read the following:
    Prior to shutting the lid note the time in your Mac's menu bar or some other accurate timepiece.
    Find the Console app - it is in your Utilities folder and looks like this
    You can find it by selecting Utilities from the Finder's Go menu.
    Open Console.
    If the log list column on the left is not already displayed, show the log list by selecting Show Log List from Console's View menu.
    Locate system.log in the list and select it. Many date and time-stamped entries will appear, hundreds of them, and you must find the entries relevant to your Mac's problem.
    To do that type the words bootlog in the Filter field at the upper right of the Console window:
    That will cause all log entries to be hidden, except for the entries containing those words. The last entry in the list will correspond to the last time you started the Mac. It will have a time stamp in the form hh:mm:ss later than the time you noted in the Mac's menu bar prior to shutdown.
    Make note of that exact time in hours, minutes, and seconds.
    Next: Clear the filter field by clicking the x in the above screenshot. It should then look like this:
    All previously displayed log entries will reappear.
    Next: Find the log entry that corresponds exactly to the time you noted in hours, minutes, and seconds containing the words"BOOT_TIME". You may have to scroll up or down a considerable distance. When you find that line, select it and drag your cursor up and prior to the entry corresponding to the approximate time you noted before shutting down the Mac. This will result in a selection of perhaps 100 to 200 lines or so.
    One or more of them, along with their time stamps, may reveal the reason for the problem you describe.
    Copy and paste those log entries in a reply. If hundreds of the same repetitive messages appear, please edit them before posting. There should be no need for more than 100 or so total log entries.
    Most of the entries will be cryptic but will contain information you might consider personal such as your Mac's name. If you do not want that information to appear, delete or obscure it when posting your reply. Leave enough information so that the entries can be deciphered.
