pontifex22 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have no expeariance on hibernate, but I would guess to solve the problem you need acces to the HFS+ partition. If not so, try get Mac drive (it will work as a trial version) so you can at least access the data.

twobunnyrabbit Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 When you say hibernate i assume you talking about deep sleep? Maybe you can try changing the hibernation mode. Here are the details (googled from this site). sudo pmset -a hibernatemode # # -> 0 - Legacy sleep mode. It will save everything to RAM upon sleeping but does not support "Safe Sleep". Very fast sleep. 1 - Legacy "Safe Sleep". This is the "Safe Sleep". Everything your laptop goes into sleep, it will save everything to harddisk. Slow on Sleep and Startup. 3 - Default. As described above, when sleeping, contents are saved to RAM. When battery runs out, hibernate occurs. 5 - Behaves as 1 but applicable only for modern Mac that uses "Secure virtual memory". 7 - Behaves as 3 but applicable only for modern Mac that uses "Secure virtual memory". I don't have much experience with hibernate on laptops as it never works for mine. Hope this helps. ps: the hibernated image is in /var/vm/sleepimage. Maybe deleting this might help if the above doesn't Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/144653-in-dire-need-of-a-problem-solver/#findComment-1028535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
