MBP 15" i7 wont automatically go to sleep

I have submitted a bug report via the feedback page, I suggest everyone else does too so we can get this acknowledged as soon as possible

Thanks

Do you guys that did a clean install, use Disc Utility to reformat your had drive first? I did this with my new 15'' i7 Macbook Pro and it fixed my Energy Saving problems.

Seems like you have to do a clean re-install of OS X (not archive and install). I'm assuming these machines do some sort of batch install when they are loaded from the factory. There must have been some slight difference between the OS that comes pre-installed on the machines and what is on the restore disc.

My symptoms were the same as what you all are describing. After restarting, all energy saving functionality would be fine for several hours. After the machine was on for about 10-12 hours, the energy saving functionality stopped working.

I went back to the Apple store and described what was going on, they said they haven't heard of anything like this, but then again the computers have only been out for a week at the time I went in. They offered to replace the machine if the clean OS install didn't work...

Hope this works for you guys!

Sorry to hear that! Are you still within your two week period to exchange the machine? If your outside of the two week window and they refuse to give you a new machine I would still bring it into the genius bar so that they can document what is going on. The more the engineers at Apple hear about this problem, the faster a firmware or software update will be released.

I have a new i7 MBP and have the exact same issue. I also sent a bug report to apple and hope that there will be a fix a soon as possible!

Same here:

Brand new 15" i7 MBP

Tried:
- New account
- SMC reset
- PRAM reset
- Deleting com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
No luck :[

Considering the number of posts on that, it looks like we have a real bug here.

On last question just to make sure: Does anyone use the WesternDigital Smarttools?

Not me.. I'm convinced we have a proper bug here, but I'm hesitant to return my macbook since it seems its widespread.

I just wondered how many of us used migration assistant, as I noticed some of my safari prefs got a bit screwed when bringing my preferences over from my iMac alu.

Either way, I doubt this is related to that either, as I've tried clearing all related things to fix it, had it been a plist/pram kinda config issue.

Again, I suggest as many people report this via Genius Bar / Feedback page to ensure Apple pick this up in the next update. I even tried letting some Apple blogs know as anything that gets this issue noticed is worth while from our perspective.

Thanks

Ok. That makes it even more obvious. Thanks for trying it out.
Do all machines in the AppleStore have admin-accounts running?

I also send feedback to Apple.

Same thing here. Maybe it is related to the SafeSleep, or the hard disk used? I have the 500GB 7200rpm disk, anyone else have this same disk?

Interesting thought...
My MBP also has the 500GB 7200rpm.

I have the same harddrive. For some reason now my auto monitor standby does not work either, which worked in the beginning. I think I might call apple care next week and ask if there is any solution coming up.

I'm thinking of taking mine in too, but I wouldn't want to send it away for repairs, or wait for a new CTO order...

I bought mine shortly after launch and didn't notice this problem until now. For you all who have taken them to the genius bar, what did the Genius offer to do?

I have a different drive, so that theory is out :/
