Sleeping problem with OS X Lion?: Apple Support Communities

Sleeping problem with OS X Lion?: Apple Support Communities. Good solution to this problem, but a better solution is what hoongern suggested.

As has been noted by a few people here and there, running “pmset -g assertions” from the

terminal will let you know what is preventing your OS from sleeping

It ranges from file sharing to printer sharing to remote SSH users, etc.

Also, the conditions which prevent a computer from sleeping can vary depending on whether the computer is on AC, or running on battery, which is why some people have solved their issue by unplugging their computer first.

I also made a small app to help with diagnosing the problem, if anyone is interested. Source code is provided. If you don’t trust it, just use “pmset -g assertions”.

Hope Apple fixes it soon.

I can’t add bookmarks on Safari 5.1: Apple Support Communities

I can’t add bookmarks on Safari 5.1: Apple Support Communities. Nice solution. I wonder why Apple preferences get corrupted so often? I have to suspect it is all the Microsoft and Adobe software that is crashing our machines!

Quit Safari.

Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari.

Move the cache.db file from the Safari folder to the Trash.

Relaunch Safari. Try adding a Bookmark.

If that didn’t help, could be the preferences are corrupted ..

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.

Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.

~ (Tilde) represents the Home folder.

For LIon:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
