MBP not waking from sleep...

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 6-12 months

Has anyone had a problem with SmartSleep causing sleep-related lockups? I've got installed on my 13"MBP running 10.6.1, and when I set it to Smart Sleep, my Mac will, after a period of a day or so, fail to wake from sleep. When I hard restart it will boot to the blue screen but then go to sleep before getting to the login screen. I tried zapping the PRAM but that didn't help. The only way to get out of the sleep loop is to reset the PMU. It makes no difference if my Mac is plugged in or not. I looked at the developer's website but there's no place to request support. Anyone?

Same problems, three or four times on MacBook Air. Deleted SmartSleep and not happened since. Shame, nice idea,

The product info on the Versiontracker page for this product indicates it is only for 10.4-10.5. You do not need support: you need to read what is already in front of you.

Never mind. VT has not updated their page: but the developer's site lists this as 10.6-compatible.
