Is there any way to send the laptop in Deep sleep(hibernate) in Lion, ofcourse without emptying the battery ?

Earlier Snow Leopard method like Deep Sleep Widget won't work :(

Also, can't believe Apple once again left out the File Cut option :mad: don't know what they have against moving files :mad: :(

Type this in Terminal:
Code: 
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1

If you want to revert, replace 1 with 3 in the above command.
 
I would love this too

I wish they could modify resume to work with all apps.

I would like to shut down my MBA keeping all the programs and desktops intact and then boot it back up and have them all open again but resume doesn't seem to work like that.

It will re-open all the programs but sticks them all on the same desktop and doesn't restore things like my chrome and firefox tabs.

The only method is sleeping but that sucks battery as OP mentioned. :(
 
Hibernation writes the contents of memory to your hard drive and then powers off. The next time you power on it restores it.

Get ready to have your mind blown:

Finder DOES have cut and paste for files, they just don't call it that. Here's how you do it: copy the file as normal (I know I know, that's copy, not cut, but bear with me), and when you paste it, hold option. The command changes from "paste" to "move" in the menus, and indeed that's what it does. Ta-da!

Thanks for the tip :). CMD-drag also works BTW.
 
I have mac mini 2.3ghz i5 8gb ram purchased from ftys july 23rd 2012. Works great.

Downloaded that and installed it. Clicked on that widget and put in my name and password. Nothing happened. Then clicked on it again and it said shutting dow for sleep. It slept and 1 minute later the lights on my usb fan went off. How neat. Then power button and the grey screen with white dots on bottom and it restarted. Just my keyboard and mouse refused to work. Cuz they are plugged into my monitor (it has 4 usb ports). Without restarting I unplugged the keyboard and then plugged it back in and 2 seconds later it worked.

So it works I guess. Not bad. Better than complete shutdown. No restarting all my apps and stuff. Good program.
