Hi all,

I got a 2010 15" MacBook Pro. Two (and a half) things bother me a lot:

1. When I let my MacBook idle while it is plugged in to power, it goes to hibernation (=suspend to disk) after a while, I have to press power to "boot" up again.
Up until recently it went on standby (=suspend to RAM) and I could wake it up by pressing any button. I want it to suspend to RAM, not to disk! (Actually, I want the safe-mode which does both).
Why does it do that out of sudden?

1b. When I bought my MacBook and I woke it up after suspend to disk, I saw a "grayed screenshot" while it restored the session. Now it just shows a gray blank screen and the progress bar.
What am I supposed to see? I want the screenshot back!

2. When I let my MacBook run out of battery, it warns me that I've got 10 minutes left, and after 10 minutes it dies. I mean, no standby, no suspend to disk, no safe shutting down, just dies. Shouldn't it do something else but dying?
I did calibrate the battery twice, no effect.


Furthermore, I got a "bluescreen" (how is it called on the Mac) recently and sometimes had the problem that it didn't wake up properly from standby, the screen was still black. Closing the clam, waiting, and reopening helped.

Had 10.6.5, just updated to 10.6.6. But still the same.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
