Sorry to start this off then disappear - it's just that an australia
post van had an altercation with our lovely telstra stuck-to-gumtrees-
with-gaffer-tape temporary (sic) phone line and the phone line came
off worse.
Thanks for comments - I don't have any hot corners but it was a good
idea. Thanks Ronni for the apple link - nothing jumps out at me on a
quick read but I shall look more closely at it
best

The trouble I regularly have with my 17" MacBook Pro is that when I
put it to sleep by closing the lid, it often (but not always) will
not wake from sleep. The screen stays black even though it still
seems to be operating. I have to hold down the power button for 10
secs and then it shuts down.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi all
We've had six macs between us now, 3 still current, and not one
has ever done what we asked as regards sleep. They don't sleep
when they should, doze off when they shouldn't, refuse to wake....
My G5 is usually ok after a restart for a few days, sleeping after
15 mins, then it forgets and stays awake the whole time. Then a
few minutes ago (the last straw that made me write this) I was
typing and it went to sleep - no sign of the screen sleeping first
as per settings.
Not a huge deal but it would be nice if things just worked - any
experiences?
Hi Alastair,
Well, I've had a lot of Macs and have never experienced any 'Sleep
Issues'. All my Macs have gone to sleep when I have either set
Energy Preferences or closed the lid (on Laptops), or used the Menu
to Sleep the Mac.
There are reasons why your Mac doesn't go to sleep or wakes at the
set times. Have you had a read here?
