i had the same problem and tried something which might not be a good idea: i shook the computer violently hoping to kind of reset or reactivate the motion detection system – it seemed to have worked.

I have a brand new Macbook Pro and had this problem until I found your solution. HDAPM works exactly as you describe, I have to redo it after a restart. Thanks for your help

Thanks!!!!! Your tip on the Macbook sleep issue and your efax under printer panes solved my sleep problem!!!! I bought an HP wireless printer and my Macbook Pro sleep went from 1 second to 25 seconds!! I removed the HP from the pane and voila! Back to perfection.

THANKS FROM AUSTRALIA!!!!!!

I have the original unibody aluminum macbook and still use HDAPM with Snow Leopard. No clicking after 1 year of reading your blog and following the steps. I still wish Apple would produce an update that actually fixes the problem..

I think, for the most part, Apple has fixed this issue with all their newer MacBook and MacBook Pro’s. However, there may be many people out there with older notebooks/laptops who are looking for some answers about their soft-clicking HDD’s…
