When it went to sleep with all lights out if I unplugged the external drive it would always wake up and crash, no matter how long I left it before doing so. | |

@hippietrail You have to force it: sudo rm -f /var/vm/sleepimage

How did you delete it? I couldn't using rm even with sudo. It just gave the error rm: /var/vm/sleepimage: Operation not permitted

| Apr 5, 2017 at 22:23 | comment | added | Monomeeth♦ | I'm glad you found a workaround and have upvoted your question and answer as I'm sure the DeepSleep utility will help others as well. However, just wanted to state again that if it were me I'd buy a replacement battery. This particular model of MBP was one of the better ones, so if it's still working well, it'd be worth the investment. I've also added hybrid/fusion drives to this model and they function brilliantly. As a final aside, how well do you find that macOS Sierra works on it? | |
