[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1777752, member: 46727"] Not sure I agree with Lisa or Bob. I sleep my iMac every evening when I'm through for the day. Total sleep is more than just shutting off the display on the monitor; it also spins the hard drives down and it puts the machine (through the firmware logic) into low power mode until it wakes. That's how Apple has designed it so I really don't know why you would advise someone not to put their Mac to sleep? The sleep wake error experienced by "kennerguy66" has occurred more often since "High Sierra" was released. (do some googling) The only way I have been able to resolve it and get my iMac back to normal was to do a SMC long reset. In other words, power off completely and leave it that way overnight. You also need to remove the AC plug from the receptacle. BTW... I do agree with Lisa about using an UPS. I wouldn't be without one. [/QUOTE]
