Sleep Issues with ML

Does anybody have them? It was one of the main reasons I stayed with SL, because my MBP wouldn't sleep automatically with Lion.

Thx!

For sleep issues, you may find some useful ideas here, as sleep issues are not related to the OS version:

• Mac OS X: Why your Mac might not sleep or stay in sleep mode
• Determine why your Mac wakes up from sleep
• One sleep problem caused by printers - solved ... and another
• If your Mac isn't sleeping properly and you have gfxCardStatus installed, try uninstalling it.

Most of my sleeping issues over the years, from Tiger to Lion, have involved shared iTunes libraries and/or AirTunes/Airplay in some way or another. If iTunes is open on your machine and that library gets shared or streamed on your network in any way, try closing iTunes before putting the machine to sleep and see if that helps. Worked for me. Just my 0.02.

GG, Thanks for the links but I respectfully disagree. When Lion came out, my 2008 MBP and my son's 2011 MBP were both running SL and blisfully went to sleep after the specified period of inactivity. No other changes except to install Lion on both machines and neither one would sleep unless the lid was closed, or you clicked on then sleep. Kind of hard to believe, at least in my situation, that the sleep issue wasn't directly related to Lion.

Also, lots of posts on the Apple Support forums about sleep issues with Lion.

So, I'll rephrase: has anyone experienced sleep issues simply by changing OS to ML (everything else being the same)?

Yes. My solution was to turn off Computer sleep.
