Jun 8, 2013 7:17 AM in response to AldousH.by peterhamm,I also can not figure out how to solve this after looking for weeks (not continuously of course) for the solution, which seems to be to type a ridiculous string of unknown variables into the Terminal program.
I have a 13" non-retina MacBook Pro that takes 5 minutes or more to wake up first thing in the morning. I can't make this stop.
Look, this is ridiculous. I started using a Mac for many reasons, but high on that list was that I didn't want to foul around with command prompt BS... seriously?
Every year the Mac OS gets less Mac-like. I can see having that "terminal" access, but the fact that the only way to turn off this "super hibernation" feature that I never asked for and never wanted is to figure out what to type into that field (and btw, every single possibility I've found out here on the interwebz does NOT work) is an unconsionable failure of Apple to continue to respect what the Mac product has always stood for.
Am I the only one who is infuriated by this kind of stuff from Apple? They're so busy, it seems, making gobs of money on iPhones and iPads that they have abandoned the loyal users who have made them what they are today.
This "feature" NEEDS to be activated and deactivated in a control panel... not a stupid command line interface...

Jun 8, 2013 8:12 AM in response to peterhammby lci3341,I have given up on this being fixed under this OS. I am hopeful that when the next OS is released in the next few months, this issue will have been corrected. Hard to even get anyone to acknowledge it exists from apple. I did call and report this (along with the issue that goes with this of the hard drive/dvd drive spinning when a sleeping macbook has it's power cable removed or replaced). Last time I was in an apple store, the macbook pro's did not have the update installed on them which caused this problem so I couldn't demonstrate that part of the issue to them. I do agree that with each release more issues seem to pop up that required work arounds and fixes via terminal that would make it hard to continue to argue that "Mac's just work".
I'm hopeful that if it is NOT fixed in the next OS - that the macbook pro in the apple store will all be updated to have this "problem" and it will be easier to point out to others to get this resolved.

Jun 12, 2013 2:51 AM in response to SwankPeRFectionby neakmenter,I know that you were hassling Apple about getting the "hibernate on power after 4 hours, but not on battery" and the related "wake when connect/disconnect power plug" issues fixed, I was wondering if there's any update to that? Are you still hassling Apple about it? And what's the best way to add my voice to the 'fixit!' requests? I don't really want to have to start messing with console commands to get sensible PM from my MBPro.
Hibernate after 4 hours of standby when on battery would definitely be useful - as would no hibernate when on power!
Ta!

Jun 22, 2013 2:41 AM in response to AldousH.by Solvind,Let's hope that Apple is trying to fix it through the OS X 10.8.5 Beta:
"Apple asks developers to focus on WiFi, Graphics, Wake-from-sleep, and PDF Viewing and Accessibility." (http://9to5mac.com/2013/06/19/apple-seeds-first-os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-5-beta-t o-developers-retail/)
Maybe a MacBook Pro mid 2012 Beta-tester can check this out? -

Anyone who may know is barred by their NDA from discussing it in any open forum.

Sep 25, 2013 6:57 PM in response to Solvindby dave_101,Anyone find a REAL fix yet?
I'm running 10.8.5 with this issue still!
Genius' know nothing about this!
Really frustratred with this issue, and has only been going on for me for a week or two now.
Thanks for any advice.

Sep 25, 2013 10:22 PM in response to dave_101by n748,As I said in my previous posts, I doubt there will be a fix, since Apple considers it not to be an issue but a feature to comply with EU regulations. The only part which should still be considered an issue is that the MBP wakes on power change (i.e. power cable disconnected) in my opinion.
My MBP is now configured in a way, I knew it from my previous Macs: No DeepSleep and no wakeup when power is changed. I managed that by playing around with pmset as explained earlier in this thread. The 'acwake' setting worked for me, but apparently it does not for everybody.

Sep 26, 2013 8:15 AM in response to n748by dave_101,Thanks, I will have to try the pmset.
I don't really beleive the whole EU energy excuse. If that was the case, there would be a lot more people unhappy with the situation. The genius' at my apple store here in Winnipeg, Canada have never seen this issue with a Macbook Pro. They said they only saw it once with an air....

Oct 8, 2013 11:04 PM in response to n748by dave_101,thanks for that link.
anyone have any idea why "sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0" does nothing when entered in terminal?
pmset -g shows that the 14400 does not change....
i've also got this line, which seems strange: "unknown20c9d0e29435:~ davidlipnowski$"
hoping I didn't screw something up in here...
thanks!

Oct 26, 2013 10:12 AM in response to AldousH.by AldousH.,10.9 seems to have finally solved this problem!

Oct 26, 2013 10:24 AM in response to AldousH.by Jognt,Wow.. nice timing. Just before Mavericks released I bought an SSD and decided to switch hibernatemode to 25 (always suspend to disk, not to ram) for both battery and AC configurations xD.
Good to know it finally got fixed though.. I also noticed some weird things where the configuration in the Power Settings preferencepane didn't mirror the saved settings in the applepowermanagement.plist file in mountain lion o_O.
Edit:
Dave, try editing the powerplan file directly. It is stored in the [disk]/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file. You can't edit it in-place. So copy it to your desktop, edit it, and copy it back [confirm replace] and authenticate, followed by a reboot.

Nov 23, 2013 3:14 AM in response to AldousH.by Ken_DK,I have this issue on my iMac 27" mid 2010.
The computer has always started up instantly when I press the mouse or keyboard, but now I have to wait 10-15 seconds before it start up from sleep.
I updated to OSX Maverick when it was released, and I did not have this problem before 2 days ago, also not in the beginning with Maverick.
The issue startup after I have strugled to remove some software (UseNeXT), where I used the Terminal with following commands:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE (enter)
killall Finder (enter)
deleted everything with UseNeXT
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE (enter)
killall Finder (enter)
After that, my computer wakeup is very slow!
Even if it is not a MacBook, I guess it is the same problem?
How can I remove this problem?

Nov 28, 2013 5:08 PM in response to AldousH.by SwankPeRFection,No actually, the system will still enter this sleep mode once after the OS is restarted. However, any subsequent times after that, it won't enter this mode anymore. It'll behave similar to what Mountain Lion did prior to the 10.8.2 build they put out that initially implemented this. Try it. Reboot your Mac once and then leave it sleeping and plugged in for at least 4 hours. It'll enter deep sleep and you'll see the white led stop to blink. If you then wake it, it'll have this same screen, although it's much faster at loading through it.
