MacBook doesn't shut off but goes to sleepOnce in awhile i'll try to shut off my MacBook, when i do, it seems like it just goes to sleep. the white light at the front of the computer stays on for some reason. not only that but i can't bring the computer back up. i have to wait a few hours before restarting.
the computer won't stay asleep either, it will wake up after a little while. has anyone encountered some of theses problems? i just got the computer a month ago and am wondering if i should take it in or if there is a solution for these issues.
thanks for any info,
r

how long will you be without your computer, i'm hesitant to bring it for fear of losing it for weeks on end.

Keep in mind that when you choose "Shut Down", you must wait for the screen to go black and the light in the front to turn off, then close the lid. If you don't wait for a full shut down, your MacBook will sleep before the shutdown process completes. If this isn't the case, try resetting the PRAM. Starting with the machine turned off (pull the battery out to make sure), press and hold Command-Option-P-R and turn the machine on. Wait to hear the system chime three times and then release.
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

The PRAM is part of the power management system. A more detailed explanation is available here. It should not be reset as a matter of routine, but can be helpful if you're experiencing a problem with power management.
