When does hibernate mode start?

Sometimes, my MBP holds sleepmode for a great amount of hours (flashing led) and other times the MBP seems to be turned off, but when opening the display, the MBP seems to wake up from hibernate mode (sleepmode without flashing led). Is there a special rule behind, when MBP starts hibernatemode? I heard in another forum, that after 5 hours sleeptime the MBP changes to hibernate? Is that correct? Why does this not always happen after 5 hours?
Thanks in advance

Your X200's battery is probably completely drained during hibernation. Try fully charge your battery, hibernate it, unplug the adapter, leave it alone for 3-5 hours and turn it back on. See if the battery power has drained or not.
It is a known bug of Vista and Win 7.

  • How can I detect when a hibernate mode accures during my program?

    hello everyone
    I 'm trying to find some way to let my program know the moment when the user tries to get the computer into hibernate mode ?
    is this possible in any way under java?

    Since you already know about JNI, and since you've already been told you can't do it in pure Java, what more are you waiting for? You might as well investigate the JNI route. The only other option I see is JNA.

  • When does Plus upgrade start?

    Last night I finally clicked to upgrade my purchased junk to iTunes Plus. They said they'd drop me an email with instructions on how to download them. 16 hours later, no email yet. It's Apple, it's iTunes, so I don't think I've been scammed, but what is the deal here? When am I going to be able to start downloading the stuff I paid for? I can't find any information on the process in the help section and there doesn't seem to be anything about this in the forum archives. Do I need to call my bank and change all of my accounts or will this eventually happen?

    Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and run that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded.
    If not, contact the iTunes Store using the form linked from their Download support web page and explain the problem to them.
    Good luck.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that the exception throwed on the hashcode() for NULL value field include in the association.... The many-2-one assciation is bidirectional, by the way.
    Is my hibernate mapping file somewhere implicitly restrict the association fields can not be NULL? If it is, can somebody tells me where?
    Following is "orderdetail"'s bidirectinal association definition, "order" mapping file:

  • When does Hong Kong start pre-ordering?

  • When does Java Web Start install want to reboot?

    Hi,
    I'm installing JWS 1.0.1_02 and at least in one case I'm seeing that the install wants to reboot the machine during the install process. I'd like to avoid that if possible, so I would like to understand in what circumstances the install process wants to reboot the machine.
    I've seen references in other topics regarding the use of the javawebstart dll that causes a reboot, but I don't think it is the case here.
    I have a machine that is W2K that I've installed numerous times and the install has never asked to reboot. I have another machine that is NT that it seems to always want to reboot.
    Is it related to OS type? (I need to install on W2K, NT, and 98)
    Is it related a running JRE version?
    Is it related to a dll running?
    Are there other forces at work?
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Beth

    FWIW, Solaris and Linux don't do any reboots (or
    anything else nasty) during WS install.

  • When does my AppleCare agreement start?

    If you buy an AppleCare agreement (from the online store) in the same order as, say, an iMac, but the computer doesn't ship right away, when does the agreement start? When the agreement is bought, or when the computer arrives and you register it?
    I bought one of the new iMacs recently,, and I also bought an AppleCare agreement in the same order. But since the machine was said to ship in 2-3 weeks, but the agreement was completed immediately, does this mean my agreement is already running even though I don't have the computer yet? If so, I'm losing out, aren't I? Meaning, since I bought the computer and agreement on November 30, but the computer won't get here until maybe 3 weeks after that, am I wasting part of the agreement time (from Nov. 30 until whenever the computer arrives)?
    Or does the term of the agreement not actually start until the computer gets here and I register it, even though I already paid for the agreement?
    Am I making any sense here? :)

    Just to make sure - when you get your machine, go here:
    https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa
    and register your product (or check if it is registered already). When you get to where the date of purchase is displayed, make sure it is indeed the shipping date. If it is not, contact Apple and inform them of the discrepancy.
    As for the Apple care: your regular warranty is for one year with phone support for the first 90 days - the Apple care sort of runs concurrently because it covers any phone support for 3 years (technically, it adds 2 years to the original warranty) as well as hardware support of course.

  • X200 in Hibernate Mode, it starts up automatically without pressing on the power up button....

    X200
    Dear all,
    When my X200 is in Hibernate Mode, it starts up automatically without pressing on the power up button....
    I installed Win Xp on it. All my drivers are installed.
    I swichted of the Power on Lan in the Bios, but still no difference.
    When I turn off my computer completely, I doesn't start up from himself. So it's only in hibernate mode.
    Does anyone has an idea what it coud be?
    Thanks a lot for your support.

    Take it right back and Apple will likely exchange it for another rather than have you demand your money back.
    This time, check to see if you have a lemon first before leaving.
    It's rare, but it does happen, sorry it happened to you.

  • Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

    Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

    Because whoever programmed it must be ********, I've dealt with this issue long enough.  I've sent Apple feedback on this issue long ago and nothing has been done yet.  The only work around is to try and remember that every time you double click in the punch line to hit the c button to turn it off before you start recording or you have to drag your punch line around all the time, what a pain in the ***.

  • When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but when it's back on it searches and finds signal only recently doing this and because it's searching for signal battery not lasting very long please help

    When in sleep mode iPhone 4 loses signal but as soon as its on again it searches and finds signal easily but because of this not getting calls or text msges and because it's searching for signal all the time battery not lasting

    Here are some observations and a suggestion.
    1)  I mentioned before, that the number of views of this discussion forum is fast approaching 100,000.  I suppose relative to all iPhones sold that is not a great percentage, but 100,000 still sounds pretty impressive to me.  Consider also that many people probably have this same Sim problem and are not viewing this discussion forum because thay do not know it exists.  How many people are REALLY experiencing this problem?  Who knows.  But I suspect it is more that 100,000.
    2)  To the best of my knowledge, Apple does not consult these forums as a guide to awareness of product performance.  It may be company policy, but most of the time when I speak to an Apple employee they seem remarkably unaware of the "Top Stories" in the Apple Discussion Forum.  This, despite the fact that my personal experience with customer service at Apple is excellent.  So, as much as we of this discussion forum are confident SOMEONE important at Apple is reading all our posts and taking them to heart...I am not so sure.
    3)  I have been told over and over that the best way to gain Apple's attention regarding a problem is to post a comment on their Feedback Site.  One comment about a problem is pretty worthless.  100,000 comments on the same issue, I'm guessing, will really get their attention.
    4)  Some folks have mentioned a recall to address this problem.  Although such a thing is always a possibility, I don't see it happening.  Why?  When the brakes on a Toyota don't work, or that Toyata starts to accelerate without driver intention...well, that involves human life and the stakes are quite high.  For many reasons you would see the automotive industry eventually be forced into a recall program under such a situation.  But, a phone APPEARS to not nearly be such a life and death device.  Or is it?  My daughter's iPhone 4S developed a "SIM FAILURE" on the same day her car broke down in the middle of the very rural area we live at around 10:00 pm.  She is 17 years old and was coming home from high school play practice.  You can imagine the anxiety I and her mother felt when she did not arrive home on time.  She eventually walked about a quarter mile to a house of a stranger and had to ask to use their phone to call us.  Now, I am not saying that strangers where I live are not to be trusted.  But, in addition to being worried out of my mind, I was not happy that an inoperative iPhone 4S caused my daughter to be put in this situation.  My biggest concern now is...when will my daughter's iPhone become inoperative again due to SIM FAILURE?
    5)  The more folks in this discussion forum who post a comment about this issue in Apple's feedback site the more pressing this issue is going to be perceived by Apple.  So, I like others, encourage all of you to do so.  If this seems like a lot of effort, I offer you these few sentences below that you could just copy and paste into the feedback site.
    The link to feedback site is:  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Feel free to use copy/amend/whatever the following as you wish:
    Dear Apple,
    I wish to register a strong concern about my iPhone's unpredictable inoperability due to failures somehow associated with it's SIM technology.  For me, I do not consider this just a significant lack of convenience, but a significant safety issue.  Should I need my phone in an emergency situation where it is experiencing  a SIM FAILURE, I believe the iPhone will have put me at risk.  I would ask you to please give fixing this problem your greatest priority and effort.
    Sincerely, XXXX

  • I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.

  • When does the touch hibernate ?

    I know the touch has the power states: On, Hibernate, Off
    Pressing the sleep button puts it to sleep, and holding the button turns it off, but when does it hibernate ?
    is there a timer after sleep ? so like after being in sleep for one hour it hibernates ?

    no. pressing the power button puts it into what Apple calls 'sleep' mode. it isn't switched off, and you can still play music while it is in this mode, and basically means you can save any battery power that would be used by keeping the screen lit up while you are listening to music, and that you can put your iPod in your pocket and it won't stop/change because you accidentally brush the controls. it also means that people who use their iPods regularly throughout the day don't have to turn it on and off every time they want to use it (which frankly would be a real pain). it's isn't off, so yes, the power will drain. but doesn't that happen whenever you put something in 'sleep' mode?
    you can set the iPod to automatically 'lock' under general > settings. which is the same thing, though i find it is just as straight forward to hit the power button when i want it to sleep.
    when i referred to holding the power button down, i meant holding it down and then using the 'swipe to switch off' slider. which is turning it off.
