Apr 4, 2010 5:46 AMby oYx,when i tried it the first time, it worked.
however, the behaviour returned the next time the mac was hibernated. it is not a bad behaviour, as i only plug in the magsafe when i want to use the mac anyway. however, it will be nice to have control.
is this behaviour consistent with other macbook pros out there? i don't recall this happening with l0.5.8. the mac has 10.6.3 now. -

No - my MBPro 15" / 10.6.3 does not wake up when power gets connected - resetting the SMC might be worth a try.
btw System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Power Adapter
which options are selected? -

anyway
Open the Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration folder.
Trash both of the following files depending on the Energy Saver preferences to be reset:
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com.apple.AutoWake.plist -
Apr 4, 2010 10:48 PMby oYx,hibernated the mac, and i returned to it 8 hours later, plugged in the magsafe and the behaviour returned.
i wonder if it has to do with the script i use to hibernate the mac, but i've always been using the script since leopard.
do shell script "pmset force -a hibernatemode 5"
do shell script "pmset sleepnow
i activate that script via quicksilver for deep hibernation when i'm away for longer periods. that lets me retain the functionality of shutting the lid for quick sleep mode, as that script does not set the sleep mode permanently.
