[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 373729, member: 24098"] 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.
