    John Galt ...sorry

    i won't dare to open my mac and remove battery to reset SMC...

     

    It's not necessary to do that. Just follow the procedure and remember to follow all the steps, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

    John is this just setup for hibernation!?

     

    Yes. A portable Mac should not enter that mode until it has been sleeping, without a power connection, for about 70 minutes after system sleep. CD's occured right away.

    John is right,

     

    The relevant section is

     

    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own

    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).

     

    Shut down the computer.

    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.

    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.

    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.

    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 

    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

    Does it require a pmset command or a is restore to defaults enough.

    I guess the other question is how much battery was available? Doesn't a minimum level trigger hibernation too?

    it took 42 sec to go to sleep

    They also made me do after shutdown some what like Cmd+Shift+P+power button

    and said to wait till the mac restarts 3 times and i've done that also........

    1. It sure seems that way, I think John knows more about it, but I would reset the energy saver prefs to default & reboot. I think that will remove any setting to always use hibernation mode.

     

    2. A few Seconds usually, maybe 20-30 if I was in the middle of a task that won't sleep.

     

     

    Q3. How much battery do you have as you were testing?

     

    Q4. Has it been connected to power whilst testing sleep?

    1. somewhat around 54%

     

    i've done it with and without connecting to power

    and tried many times just after logging in after restart.

    no apps were running but still took around 1min.

    is this mavericks doing?

    apple's advisor said to reinstall mavericks....but i won't be able to do it...

    they tried to do hardware test but it won't open...i tried two times...by pressing D while turnin on my mac.

     

    i will continue after getting up

    Yes. It took 50 seconds for your Mac to enter system sleep. 22 seconds of that was to write the sleep image file alone.

     

    Normal system sleep should take a few seconds at most. Writing to the sleep image file should occur unobtrusively over an hour later.

     

    The earlier concern about uTorrent remains. It's your Mac, do what you want with it, but if it were mine I would completely erase and reconfigure it due to that concern alone.

    I may have overlooked the reason but why are you replacing your hard disk drive?

     

    To erase your Mac follow the instructions in this Apple Support document:

     

    OS X: How to erase and install

     

    You won't have to do that if you replace its hard disk, but you should still perform the SMC reset.

    2m 18 is excessive, no doubt - one of your  logs seems to show some delay while Google update finishes whatever it's doing.

     

    From my experience - the immediate hibernate is normal on notebooks. It's certainly the case here on a 2007 model, where clicking sleep to actual sleep with 4GB takes ~30 seconds.
