How to Fix My Mac won't wake from Sleep - How to disable hibernation mode - works in Sierra OS X 10.12

How to disable hibernation mode

Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0


delete /private/var/vm/sleepimage :


Code:
sudo rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage

create an empty file and name it 'sleepimage'

Code:
sudo touch /private/var/vm/sleepimage


change this flag to immuable


Code:
sudo chflags uchg /private/var/vm/sleepimage

Now, OS X won't be able to rebuilt over your sleepimage file since it is locked.



First, you need to restore the sleep image to its original state 
Code:
sudo chflags nouchg /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo chown root:wheel /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo chmod 1600 /var/vm/sleepimage

To verify, when you type this command:

Code:
ls -lOh /var/vm/sleepimage

You should get this result:

Code:
-rw------T  1 root  wheel  -  4.0G Aug 23 15:01 /var/vm/sleepimage

Then you need to reset the hibernation mode to its system default:

Code:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 3

You may have to reboot.

Hi Everyone in todays video I am going to show you
How to get rid of Adware and Malware on your Mac
There is a free application out there called Malwarebytes
Called Anti Malware for Mac
and this application will work in Yosemite, Maverick, El Capitan which I can confirm it works
Because it removed Adware from my computer as well as all the way down to 10.7
So pretty much any Mac out there that your running
it will  be able to remove the adware and Malware so
What exactly is Adware and Malware?
Well basically if you are opening up Safari and Google Chrome and you keep going to weird websites
That are not your default page and your getting popups
and your seeing an overall degradation in speed
14
on your computer you may have adware or malware on it and you may need to remove it
So this is an application that will scan your computer for free
and actually remove it and not cause any damage at all
so let's get started
How do you get this application and how does it work
Well the first thing you want to do is go to this website
and I will put this website in the comments
https://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/mac/
you definitely want to download the Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for the Mac
and you click on get my free download
and this is actually a full working free copy
it's not like it's going to have a timeout it continues to work
Once you download it, you will see it in your downloads folder
and it will be called MBAM-Mac
Once you see that in your downloads folder
Doubleclick on it and you will mount the dmg file on your desktop
and as you can see it popped up here your just going to simply click on it
and drag it into your applications folder and copy it
once it's copied double-click on the application folder
and look for the application called Malwarebytes anti malware
and double click on it and it will open
and once you do so you will see the screen the same one as I have on mine screen
the next step would be to click scan once it starts Scanning
it will scan all the known Malware that it has on file
and if it finds any you will see a pop up window
now in my case I already ran it and it actually did find one
and it removed it but here is an example
of what it might pop up afterwards
so this could be a pop up window that it shows
where the Malware is, all you would do is click on
remove selected items and that's all there is to it
You would be done, I would restart my computer afterwards
Just to make sure and run it one more time
at this point if you run it again your should get
No Malware found and that should be a perfect
working system, so at least you will know that whatever is wrong with your system
is at least not adware. This company used to be called
Adwaremedic and now they are called Malware bytes Anti Malware for the Mac
it's a terrific application for the Mac and I would highly recommend it
and let me know if it works for you
Please subscribe to my channel and like the video if it helped you out.
