Hibernation (audrith) Mac OS

broken image


The battery in my old MacBook Pro was getting pretty darn old itself. Since I was getting a new MacBook Pro soon (a new Core i7 one), replacing the battery in the current system was not something I wanted to bother with.
However, using Sleep would quickly drain my battery from 100% down to just 15% or less in just a few hours. I had to struggle with either repeatedly shutting down and powering on my system (and dealing with slow boots and long application startup times), or Sleep the system and hope there was enough battery left for me to do any work without dragging my power cord around with me.

By default, Mac OS X will Sleep (only) until the battery reaches critical level (around 5%), and then it will Hibernate.

This sucks if you had a weak battery, like I did.
Escape hospital-脫出 失憶病棟 mac os. https://site-4775125-6725-7892.mystrikingly.com/blog/everdream-mac-os. If you sleep the system after charging all day, and then wake it up later to try and do some remote work - you may find your battery nearly DEAD since it had been draining pretty quickly the entire time while 'sleeping'. This makes any remote work difficult.

Part of the sleep function is writing out a hibernation file. Apple calls this 'Smart Sleep'. It is like the Windows Hybrid Sleep. If the system loses power during a sleep, it can restore from the hibernation file. All the speed and quick recovery of regular Sleep, with the insurance of a Hibernation file.
There is NO way to configure this on a Mac. Windows will let you pick Sleep, Hibernate, Hybrid Sleep, no sleep, etc. Under Mac OS X it is either 'Default Sleep Options' or 'No Sleep'. No in-between, no configuration, etc. I'm guessing this is to make the whole thing easier for people to use. Let Apple decide for you what is best.

One suggestion to force hibernation was to Sleep the Mac, then pop out the battery and put it back in. The 'sleep' status is lost, and only the hibernation file remains, allowing for a safe wake when desired, without constantly draining the battery. The past few MacBook revisions had 'non user removable' batteries, so that wouldn't be an option any more.

The current fix is to force the system to ONLY Hibernate. This means you may notice a slower 'sleep' and 'wake' process, but your battery will NOT be drained like it was with regular Sleep. Humanly optimized mac os.

One easy 'fix' that I've used:

https://gamblingbonus-zapcomfekcwww.peatix.com. SmartSleep for Mac OS 10.5 and 10.6 (and maybe 10.4). I've used it under 10.6.3 on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, and it worked great.

  1. Sep 14, 2020 After some time in Sleep mode, your Mac will enter 'standby.' It works like hibernation mode on Windows PCs. The Mac will save the contents of its memory to disk to save additional power, but it will take longer to resume from standby than it does to wake from sleep. Here's how to customize when your Mac enters standby.

Save Space On Your Hard Drive – Disable SafeSleep Mode On Your Mac OS X Tips By Rob LeFebvre. 6:00 am, May 17, 2013 Warning – this tip is fairly advanced. To put a Mac to sleep immediately, do one of the following: Close the lid of the MacBook. Press the power button on the Mac—tapping the power button makes both MacBooks and iMacs or Mac minis drop off to sleep instantly. Choose Sleep from the Apple menu. Press the Command-Option and Media key simultaneously.

Hibernation

There are other Hibernation add-ons and fixes for Mac OS X, but this was the first one I tried, and it worked just fine, and worked as expected. I can now sleep/hibernate my system without draining the battery!

Orion the cuttlefish mac os. SSD are based on NAND Flash which have limited writes life. Currently 25nm chips support 3000-5000 cycles then they become read only.

This limitation makes very important avoid unneeded writes on the disk.

Moreover power save technologies can give some trouble (of course on SandForce controllers).

So this are some steps to Tweak your host system to give you the best experience:

  1. Turn off hibernation. To do this, open terminal app and type:

    Enter admin password and let's do it the magic.
    This will prevent GB of writes every time you close the lid of your notebook.

  2. Remove unused hibernation file to free up as much space as your RAM:
  3. Open System Preferences and go to Energy Saver, than uncheck
    Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible
    both on Battery and Power Adapter tabs.
    This will prevent disk freezes and beachballs.
  4. If you have a SATA 2 interface and a Nvidia chipset on your Mac, check to have 3 Gbps Negotiated Link Speed.
    Go to Serial-ATA section in System Information app to take a look of your disk(s).
    This will ensure optimal performance of SSD.

NOTE: there are more Hacks, like enabling TRIM for non Apple supported SSDs but they give more troubles that other therefore I advice against to engage in similar enterprises.

NOTE 2: WARNING!!! Apple MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Update 2.0 seems to change the way 'safesleep' is handled. If you currently have safesleep disabled in order to free up the drive space required by the sleep image, this will cause it to come back and even setting hibernatemode = 0 won't change it. Quick untested FIX:

cd /var/vm
sudo rm sleepimage
sudo ln -s /dev/null sleepimage
