[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 979043, member: 24160"] What do you mean "all the times"? Why are you using a SMC reset? This is not something you should be doing on a regular basis as some sort of maintenance. It's done to solve specific issues. I've had to do it once in the last 3 years. If you have an issue that calls for a SMC reset, then you should follow the Apple outlined method for your specific model. You should be trying the items they note before you do a SMC reset also to see if they resolve your problem. That info can be found [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964"][B]here[/B][/URL].
