New firmware, still won't sleep

[rainbird]

I am having the same problem.  Have installed the 2.10.9 update (MyBookLive 02.10.09-124 : Core F/W) and it still never sleeps.  Remote access disabled, no servers running, no photos.  Since acquiring it 3 weeks ago it has run constantly.

I tried the connect direct to PC trick but this made no difference.  I have only 170 Gb of data on it.  SSH Top does not show mediacrawler running.

Anyone from WD have a solution?

I had the same problem, just received mine on Monday, installed 2.10.9 and the device has not stopped making noise since, even got quite warm at times. Finally after reading this thread went in and disabled Twonky and iTunes and 10 minutes later MyBookLive went to sleep and has been quiet ever since. Peace and quiet at last!

So it's OK for you with the new update Myron?

[Myron]

Yesh. It's fine for me and I'm using the current/latest firmware in my MBL.  The most recent log entries . . .

Ditto, following for resolution before HD burns out...

It's finally consistently going to sleep and staying there! It through my various tweaking of setting it appears the twonky seems to keep the drive awake due to the -1value for checking for new files. I have now changed this to 1500 and the drive goes to sleep! I have noticed however I occasionally my iPad will wake The drive for no reason which may also prevent it from sleeping, so if you have a iOS device try turning it off for a bit to see what happens? iTunes and remote access is still enabled when it sleeps just incase you where wondering. If you try this could you please post here how you get on please?
