Leopard : Sleep Problems !Help!

[djcoleman]

First off, I have a MacBook, and I installed the Leopard Beta.

The only problem I have so far from the beta (Which to me seems to be pretty stable). Is that everytime I close my lid to my laptop. When I reopen the lid, it never comes back (BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH I GET). I have tired pressing buttons etc. (The little white light is not going in and out like it normally does when it sleeps, it just stays solid white.)

Is this a software problem, or is there something that I need to do to change this.

Let me know please.

Much thanks,

report it to apple. Its prob. a bug but not that many people have 10.5 so i don't know what kind of responses you'll get

Report the bug to Apple, instead of most likely breaking your NDA by posting about it on a public forum. Unless of course you obtained it illegally in which case just go back to to tiger and wait for the final release like the rest of us.

I recently just started getting this on 10.4.9, when i bring the "display" out of sleep it stays black sometimes....

Yup my copy was illegal, but who cares, with many people saying they are having much success with it, its kind of odd.

I reinstalled Tiger and i'm going to stay with Tiger until the build release in August or September. Most likly September thats when its going to be getting really good ;).

Leopard on the way... woot!

I don't see this as a new OS though for MAC, I think its just a $130.00 Service Pack ;). (Anyone agree)

I'm sure Apple does.

Developer releases are for developers. People who sign the NDAs. People who assume they'll need to reinstall the entire OS onto a formatted drive because it's pre-release.

You want a solution? I have two: (1) reformat your entire drive, then install the copy of Leopard you're clearly not supposed to have and don't use it as a day to day system because it's not meant to be used that way, and maybe, oh, I dunno, write applications that test the frameworks out so you can report bugs to Apple, or (2) reformat the drive and install Tiger - a downgrade probably won't work, which of course you know, having read the developer notes.

As you also undoubtedly know, you probably wont be able to successfully upgrade to the release version, at least without lingering issues, and will have to reformat and install from scratch because you've installed the beta. Enjoy.
