I just put my iPads and iPod touch (and iPhones) "to sleep" by hitting the power button to turn off the screen. They are not really "asleep" in the computer sense. Just the screen turned off. Instant on. The iPad will go several days anyway. Don't worry about it. Just hit the power button to turn off the screen, and plug it in when you go to bed. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
