    My  MBP uses mode 3 for AC & battery; on  a fresh 10.9 install and older 10.6.8/10.8.5.

    CD$ also has mode 3 for hibernate mode.

     

    Should we compare CD$'s to your settings?

    I had the exact same problem. Sleeping the Mac took forever since Mavericks. But now I have it solved. Well, it ssems so. The solution looks rather unlogical.

     

    I had the additional problem that my Spotlight crashed. So I searched for a solution to that problem. I found out, that the dictionaries should be moved from /Library/Dictionaries to ~/Library/Dictionaries - Well, Spotlight crashing fixed.

     

    When I then closed the lid, it just took 1-3secs to sleep my MacBook. And it's that way since then.

     

    So even it looks as it's a Bluetooth related bug, dictionaries seem to have an effect on that.

     

    Hopefully this helps others, too.

    You have just moved some system files into your user account.

     

    Where did you read this fix?

    If you really did move (and not copy) the dictionaries other users will not be able to use those dictionaries!

    Login as a new user & lookup something, see if it works still.

     

    It's generally wrong to move system installed files like this, please post more info so others can see if it is a real solution or just someone with a lucky coincidence.

    You see there are 2 dictionaries one in the hidden library which can be accessed by clicking on "Go" option at the top Finder bar keeping the "option- key" pressed.

    other can be simplly be accessed by clicking on your hard drive's icon ......

    so which one do you want me to move?????

     

    and i can't find this directory"~/Library/Dictionaries"

     

    what is  " ~ "  in that? couldn't get there!

     

    N thanks for giving attention at this...i had already lost all the hopes....you a ray of it now....

    I don't think you should move any items from /Library into a users Library (the hidden one in home).

     

    When a path starts with / , it start at the boot HD.

    When a path starts ~/ that means it starts in your Home folder (~ is a shortcut for home).

     

    You can use Finder, 'Go Menu > Go to folder…' enter ~/Library & that will open the home Library.

     

    I don't know where you saw this 'fix' & I don't know if it is genuine - it just doesn't seem correct to me.

     

    The dictionaries inside a users home folder will contain data for that user - like autocomplete data, or spelling corrections that the user has setup. The dictionaries inside /Library will contain system wide definitions that no user needs to edit.

    Okay, to clear some things: The Apple original dicts should stay in there of course! Just user installed dictionaries which were placed in the system library should be moved to the user library. I was a bit unclear here. Sorry for that!

    Thanks for confirming that, excomax.

     

    Can you say where you saw this offered as a fix? Has everything been fine since the dictionaries were copied?

    God, I have this same over 2 minute sleep time problem for over a year. Can't find any solution. 3, 4 second sleep sounds like magic to me!

     

    I just tried moving all but the Apple Dictionary from /Library/Dictionaries to ~/Library/Dictionaries. IT DID NOTHING! As Drew said, this was just a lucky thing that happened to excomax.

     

    If you still want to try:

    /Library/Dictionaries means "Machintosh HD/Library/Dictionaries" (X)

    and

    ~/Library/Dictionaries means the ALT-pressed Go>Library location. (Y) [This is the user location, indicated by the ~ sign in front.]

     

    Move the dictionaries from X to Y, meaning, from main system Library folder to the user's Library folder.

    Drew, I tried moving the Dictionaries. It didn't help. See my previous post just above.

     

    Its a shame andyBall_uk stopped responding. I really wanted to compare his report to CD$'s.

     

    This is so sickening. I installed SSD just weeks ago. Made a fresh install of Mavericks then copied everything back from old HDD using Migration Assistant. Whole system is running very fast but this sleep thing is still taking long. More work I do during a session longer it takes, even when all the apps have been closed.

     

    After some maintenance work today, its sleeping after 20-25 seconds, sometimes, not always. Last sleep test took almost a minute.

     

    My machine is 8,1 late 2011 MBP13"

    OWC SSD 480GB

    8GB RAM

    Everything else is as usual.

    Also wanted to add, my Shutdown actually takes about 4-5 seconds now! And sleep is over a minute to even 2 minutes. And I always have that box ticked to remember windows, during shutdown. I mean what is even happening here!!? You are the only one who can get to the bottom of this. No one helps this much and for this long.

    Ok this is CRAZY.

     

    I just looked up different sleep modes. Mine was 3, meaning Safe Sleep, which writes RAM data to Drive. So it takes longer. 0 is for desktops, where RAM isn't saved to Disk, and Sleep happens fast. I changed mine to 0 and also deleted Sleepimage (freed up over 4GB). And restarted too.

     

    Sleep still took over 20 seconds. Second time, almost 30 second. Dear god what is this!!!

     

    Is it clear now that long sleep time is not related to RAM being stored on SDD or HDD? Or is Mavericks just IGNORING the 0 node because it can see this is an MBP and not a desktop? No new Sleepimage  file was made since deleting it though.

    Thanks for coming up with your views....... I'm also enduring this problem from the day i installed Mr.Mavericks   .

    i hope this will be rectified in the newer version of OS. i guess there is no proper and legal solution for the sleep i guess.

     

    TY.
