Could have also been an update and never noticed it but I have occasionally tested the sleep and was never OK.
I recall exactly when iMovie got hung up on me a few times early on when I tried to transfer my movies and had to force quit it.
After that, the sleep problems started. Even after re-loading the recover cd, still wouldn't sleep.
I can really say I narrowed it down to iMovie.

Makes sense, I know iMovie is a problem. Just asked because ram that's not seated right causes sleep and wake from sleep problems. Glad things are working as they should now. :tu

Just learned an amazing trick that works so, so, so well.

Anyone with a Black MacBook? I am sure this works well with the white also.
I have tried so, so hard to clean my MacBook and maintain it clean.
The material on the black version is a grease magnet.
Doesn't matter how well you clean your hands before you start, invariably, your keys will look like they came out of the movie Grease and the outside gets tough to clean marks.

Well, I found this article and gave it a whirl.
Works like a charm.
I just made sure I squeezed most of the water out of it to limit moisture and just took a little longer to clean as result.

That Mr. Clean Eraser is pure magic. Make sure you don't use the foaming one.

Give it a shot.

Hmmm... I wonder if deleting iMovie will fix my issue?

If I delete iMovie, I can still play DVDs right?

Yep. You can use the DVD Player app. that comes with OS X or download VLC Media Player which you should have anyway. :tu
