[QUOTE="jeffreycowart, post: 942860, member: 131542"] Do you have Windows Live Sync installed? That program, it's great, but it prevents my Macbook Pro from sleeping. Here is how I diagnosed it. Go to terminal and run this command: "sudo fs_usage -e -f filesystem|grep -v CACHE_HIT|grep -v grep|grep write" (remove the quotes). The output of this command will tell you exactly what is writing data to your hard drive. WLS is writing constantly, even though there is no activity in the WLS monitor, and no recent file changes. I have found my PROBLEM, I just don't know the solution, yet. I have heard of and app called "pleasesleep", but I don't think I should need an app to make my computer sleep! Jeff [/QUOTE]
