Yes, it works great for me, also.

It is a great alternative to sleep ... it draws no power, and with the SSD that I installed, it takes about 25 seconds to "un-hibernate", which is much faster than a reboot.

I go into Hibernate mode using the app called "SafeSleepOnce". No mess, no fuss, no problems.

Also working for me! I get to hibernation using a Dashboard widget called "deepsleep" (Apple - Downloads - Dashboard Widgets - Deep Sleep) which is really neat! It appears as the image of the moon on the dashboard and just needs clicked from there!

Welcome, I pulled that together from a few different sources here but then couldn't find them again to credit.......since I started playing with the 10V also I've often lost track of what I'm doing! Glad to hear it worked.

Go to System Preferences > Security & uncheck "Use secure virtual memory"

Reboot

Remove the Sleepimage

sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage

Enable sleep & deep sleep

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

Close the lid & wait for it to sleep (it will take a little longer before the light starts to blink)


Unplug, remove the battery and then reinstall & power it back on.


Should bring you back to your desktop with the terminal window still open. Hibernate check complete

Tried this on 10.6.7 and it no longer works.
Any ideas?

That's weird, it works on mine running 10.6.7 just fine.

You do have to re-run and enable Hibernation in NBI as it disables it by default when doing the upgrade. I guess that's because Hibernation never used to work properly before?

Just re-ran the NBI over this easter break. All ok again. Thanks.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but does anyone know why hibernation wot work with secure Virtual memory when using hibernate mode 5 or 7? Both 5 and 7 are meant to work with secure virtual memory on macs.

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 5 (sleep first and hibernate when battery runs out)
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 7 (hibernate at lid close)
