    Mac makes me tired, it won't sleep!

    Hi there, So I've been using my Macbook for years now, and I started to use my Macbook as a desktop more and more. So I decided to get a Mac Mini instead, it looks a bit cleaner on the desk, and it's works better as a desktop in my opinion. I was very happy with it at first, it's not the...

    USB devices stay on in sleep mode

    Hi everyone :) I bought a new Mac Mini yesterday and I tore it apart immediately to build in a SSD. It runs great and I love it so far! Now my idea was to keep the Mac mini in sleep mode while I am not using it. Unfortunately all the USB devices stay on when I put it into sleep. I have a...

    My late 2016 15" MBP gets several kernel panics when sleeping through the night. I noticed the few kernel panics happens with about a 3 hour interval in between. In the morning when I open the Mac, it boots and requires me to enter Touch ID (as it restarted), then I see this error...

    Constant SafeSleep

    I recently replaced my MacBook Pro's OEM HDD with a Samsung 850 PRO SSD. I have always hated SafeSleep, and always turned it off any time it turns on (such as after a full disc reset, or some software updates), however since the SSD has gone in, SafeSleep (or what appears to be SafeSleep) seems...

    MBP Retina Mid 2015 doesn't sleep when closing the lid after Sierra upgrade

    Right after I upgraded to OS X Sierra, I started having an issue when my MBP would overheat when I close the lid and put it in a bag. It seems like it doesn't go to sleep with the lid closed (not sure if the sleep mode works at all). I have already tried resetting SMC and NVRAM. I have also...

    Password bug in OS Sierra

    Has anyone noticed this problem? Every time I open my laptop from sleep since I've updated Sierra, I've had to input my password twice in order for it to be accepted. I know that I'm not entering it wrong (my password is 2 characters so it's pretty hard to mess up) -- it seems to just not want...

    MacBook Air didn't go to sleep?

    Yesterday I replaced the battery on my MacBook Air 13" mid 2012 with a replacement from a reputable battery reseller, and performed a "calibration". Today I charged it up to 100% and used it during the day, up until 3.30 pm. At that time the battery level was at 38%. I simply left the computer...
