macOS Sierra - press and hold the power button to enter the mode 'sleep'

I recently updated my MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015) model of El Capitan macOS Sierra 10.12. Before the update, hold down the power button / stop for 2-3 seconds, put the machine in standby mode. It does not properly after the update. Release the power button to switch to sleep mode works only once after each time you start the machine.

I know he has an option to set the mode of sleep using Ctrl + button / stop and by selecting one of three options to restart, sleep and Shutdown, but who needs 3 more click click and is not fast. Also, independently of any application that is open, pressing the button walk / stop worked fine before the update, but now I need to be on the desktop even do Ctrl + Power button work.

All patches available for it? Miss me the old way of put my Mac to sleep I do not remember if I did some tweak in my Mac, or was it a default feature...

Greetings jainam2209,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems you want to put the Mac to sleep, but it does not always work.
I would recommend read you these articles, the first article explains the ways that macOS Sierra is supposed to go to sleep.
The second article can help if the computer won't sleep when you're trying to sleep.

macOS Sierra: put your Mac to sleep

Take care.

  • Press and hold the menu does not appear while composing email - iOS 10

    As per above, if you press and hold before type anything, the submenu would not appear.

    You must type something in front first, then press and hold to see the submenu.

    As on the new line without typing anything, submenu just appear in press and maintenance.

    This has never happened before on iOS 9, as I always have right now to insert any picture without typing anything.

    This is a bug in ios10. Thought I was going nuts trying to re - copy text in a different application and bring it back on my mail.

    Computer laptop MU shut unless I press the power button. There is no closing

    Go to control panel-> Power Options control. Click on choose what the power button and the click of the left mouse.

    Look at the options. Select other options to test.

    Also, see the documentation that came with the computer or the web site of the manufacturer for other possible options.

  • Press and hold the goto button

    Hello! I need help for updating an AS2 AS3 script.

    I'm simulating a feature often found on a phone where you have a button, and when you click on it something happens (in this case a stop), but when you click and hold for one second this same button another thing happens (in this case an another Stop).

    This is my original script doing exactly what I'm looking for:

    stop ();

    function startTimer ()mc, conversionTime) {
    mc
    . onEnterFrame = function() {
    if ((getTimer() / 1000) - conversionTime > 1) {
    delete this. onEnterFrame ;
    Stop
    ()3) ;
    }
    };
    }
    Button1
    . delivery = function() {
    var conversionTime : Number = getTimer() / 1000;
    startTimer
    ()this conversionTime);
    this . onRelease = function() {
    if (this. onEnterFrame != null) {
    gotoAndStop
    (2);
    }
    delete this. onEnterFrame ;
    };
    };

    Can someone help me to translate it into AS3?

    Thank you!

    Here's a way to do what you describe... I treat the goto statements, but you should be able to fill them instead traces...

    var quickClick:Boolean;
    var sto:uint;

    function changeClickStatus (): void {}
    quickClick = false;
    }

    Button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, btnPressed);

    function btnPressed(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    quickClick = true;
    Button1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, makeChoice);
    STO = setTimeout (changeClickStatus, 1000);   delay of 1 second
    }

    function makeChoice(evt:MouseEvent):void {}
    Button1.removeEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, makeChoice);
    clearTimeout() (sto);
    {if (quickClick)}
    trace ("clicked quickly");
    } else {}
    trace ("delayed click");
    }
    }

  • Press and hold the on switch / stop now makes a noise?

    Since the KitKat update my Moto X began to make a sound notification every time I now have a pressure of the power button. The sound is triggered once the popup to power off/turn on/off mode plane etc. appears. It never happened before the update. The only time where there is no sound is while my phone was on silent or in night mode.

    Is this supposed to be 'new '? I certainly don't want to. If it is a 'feature', how can I disable it? If it's a bug, how to submit a bug report @# $$? I went on the chat tech support and told Matt message directly to submit reports of bugs... but they do not seem to see here in the Forums for others to see, so I write it here as well. Forgive me if there is double counting.

    My carrier is China Unicom (I live in China). My phone is a T-Mobile Developer Edition Moto X.

  • T520 not resumed after the mode 'sleep'.

    Hello

    When I close the lid of the machine goes into mode 'sleep'. When I open it back it does not. This happened 2 days ago, and before that everything worked very well. I can hear the fans/hdd from when I open the cover, but the statys display dark and the power button flashes. No matter what I press it does not appear from the mode "Eve". I have to press and hold the power button to force the reboot the machine lose all my currently open applications and documents. Any suggestions on what could be the problem and a fix?

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply. I solved the problem, but I'm not exactly sure how. I think that it started after I used it on battery until what drain you completely. It was working fine before that. I have lots of update on the system since the Lenovo Update Manager, shut down the computer, took battery and AC and pressed the power button. All assembled again and booted up normally. Now everything works. I can close the lid causing the laptop to go to sleep and he took over when I open it. No more problems at startup.

    IM cannot delete apps from the iPhone 7 when I press the icon, he asks me if I want to share?

    any ideas?

    You do not press and hold.  You press VERY briefly until the icons wiggle and X in the upper right corner.  You can remove the application.  Not all applications (for example, settings, photo, Messages, pictures, clock) can be deleted.
