MB Sleep Issue

Recently, my Blackbook has had some troubles when I close the lid. What happens is the light never starts pulsing, and the laptop gets really warm and the fan goes crazy. When I open the lid, the screen stays black. When I reboot it, It shows the grey screen, goes black for a sec, then restarts. I tried reseting the pram, but it didnt help :S

 

Sounds like you have a background app or driver that is preventing OS X from going to sleep.

After you restart from such an incident, go to Applications>Console.app and check the logs for any entries about applications that hang at the time you put your Mac to sleep.

 

I figured out the problem, it does this whenever I close the lid when Adium is open. I reported it to the devs

EDIT: Got it again

 

Fixed I ran fsck and have not had the problem since

 

I have a problem with the sleep/shut down too. This NTFS-3G apparently is not ejected when the mac shuts down. How do i eject it?

 

%$^$&!

It keeps happening

 

Try repairing disk permissions in Disk Utility.

 

I closed all open apps, repaired the permissions, rebooted, used the computer for a bit, closed the lid and it happened again

 

do you have warranty? Do you hate your laptop? If both are yes, try to bring it to an apple store, hoping they'll give you a new one.

 

lol nah i love it

I downloaded "PleaseSleep" and it seems to have fixed the problem once and for all. The problem seems to be with safari or any msn program i use.

I hope the problem goes away when i update to snow leopard

 

Try an Archive and install

 

Alright, it started happening again, even with PleaseSleep on, so I tried Archive and Install, and it is still happening
Ill just wait till snow leopard comes out, and hope it fixes it

 

Sorry for the double post, but i figured something else out,


It sleeps fine the first time after a re-boot, but the same problem always happens the 2nd sleep, whatever I may be doing, forcing me to re-boot again.

Any ideas?

 

Take it to an apple store I guess.

 

Ya my friend had a similar problem, and he had to get his sleep switch replaced. Ill bring it in to a futureshop (No apple stores where I live) And see what they can do. I do have an applecare warranty

 

Having apple care is good. If the future shop wont replace it for you for free you can always call up apple care and tell them what your problem is and then tell them that there is no Apple Retail Store near by and that you want the problem fixed and they will send you a box with the shipping label and stuff for you to send the laptop in and they will fix it and send it back.

 

yeah I had a friend who had to do that for a 17"er with a 8600GT that went bad... Fedex picked it up, and took it to apple, they fixed it and sent it back, it was exactly 7 days from the day it was picked up, to the day it was delivered back working great, including a weekend.... very fast service in my book counting shipping times.

 

Holy crap I fixed it accidently I noticed I had some random script files in my macintosh HD folder, I don't check there very often, I just use spotlight. I deleted them and it's back to normal Lucky I didnt send it in, I doubt they would have done anything and id be stuck with a computer that didnt sleep half the time.

 

were the random script files put there by you or by some program installation? only reason i ask is if they were put there by a program, it'd be nice to know which one so as to avoid it

 

Yeah I thought of that right after I deleted them oops?
