[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1761143, member: 318059"] Maybe I misunderstood the initial post and the function of the safe sleep, please explain in that case... To my knowledge, safe sleep backs up the memory content to the hard drive, prior to actually going to to sleep. If the power is completely drained while the system is in sleep mode, the computer will shut down. The first time the system becomes active, be that powered by battery and/or power adapter, the saved state of the system is loaded from the hard drive in to the memory. If the sleep mode is not protected by password, the system loads the backed up profile/desktop without requiring password. The starter of the this thread has stated this behavior on his system: The bold text in the quote indicates that the power adapter had been used to start up the computer. That shouldn't be that hard, providing that someone is interested finding it. Go to "Finder/All My Files", or "Finder/Documents" available in the desktop state loaded from safe sleep backup. The find my Mac is good point, I forgot about that. Maybe that'll ensure some good night sleep...;D - Patrick ======[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
