"Power Nap"?

[sazivad]

Anybody know if this is a "second generation" MacBook Air?

Do you think if you installed an ssd in your mbp that it will be able to use this power nap function. I have a time capsule and this would be awesome to use with it.

I'm on a mid 2010 mbp with ssd and there is no sign of power nap...

Thats disheartening but oh well. Not like I needed it but it would have been a nice function.

I have a Retina MBP, and there is no Power Nap functionality yet. I'm sure it's just because it's still in beta.

Are you using Lion or Mountain Lion? PowerNap is Mountain Lion specific.

I believe so. It's the same one I have.

To enable PowerNap:

Must have a mac with a SSD (not a 3rd party SSD, but a Apple one... Like the Mid 2011 MBA etc.).
Start the Mac App Store and go to Updates.
Install the SMC Update for the SSD.

Restart

Go to Sys. Prefs/Energy Saver.

It ate just shy of 10% of my battery last night.

Lame that 3rd party SSDs aren't supported but I suppose it makes sense in terms of AppleCare.

 

[Fraaaa]

Would this Power Nap thing not eat up more battery when turn on?

It runs when the computer is in sleep and connected to the power source.

2010 MBA are second generations. The C2D.

I dont know if the matter is in SSD or MEGASAFE 2

if in SSD so it is easy to update any old mac (supporting ML)

if n MEGASAFE 2 then no hope

Does this work even when the lid is closed?

But doesn't it only work when you have have power plugged in?

I am looking forward to the update for the rMBP. For the air users, does it still play sounds when notifications come in? So if you get a notification can you hear it with the lid closed?

I must say, this is absolutely ridiculous to leave out for those of us who upgraded our MBP's to SSD. Usually I'm okay with Apple leaving features out for some devices, but to leave out 2011 and 2012 MBP's with SSD is outrageous.

I can understand the frustration but control is the key for the Apple gods I guess. But I assure you, there will be a little app out there to tweak the OS on all the others to enable power nap as a feature for the masses.

That<s a 2010 MBA so i would say first Gen (if they don't count the lol2008)

This is absolutely "2nd generation".

No Power Nap in GM...

Bummer, it was present while in Beta with my 2012 13" MBA.

 

[Jasoco]

Does anyone know if Power Nap will be available to be taken advantage of by third party developers? This would be extremely useful with apps that backup your system like Carbon Copy Cloner and CrashPlan.

 

[mabaker]

Will this be supported on my PowerBook 100, I wonder?

 

[LizKat]

^^ Right... somewhere I have a PB170 that has been taking a power nap since about 1998 when the backlight on the screen went, again.


Personally, if I put a machine to sleep, I want it to SLEEP, period.

At least it's opt-in (for now?).

You can choose if you want it to run while on battery power.
