sleep

Just as the topic says, I'm wondering at what battery percent level a 17" Powerbook should go into hard-sleep. Mine will go in at 7% left, and i'm curious is less than 7% not enough to keep the machine running, or could there be a problem with the battery? I used X-Charge during charging and...

Why does my G4's flat panel display (OS X.2.6) seem to go to sleep when it wants to? The 'screen effect' is set to activate at 30 minutes. The computer is set 'to go to sleep' in about the same time. What gives?

Ever since my daughter was born almost 3 years ago, I get about 5 average hours of sleep a night. There's just too many cool things to do, and not enough hours in a day. It's all because of our stupid solar orbit that a day is only 24 hours. If it was up to me, a day would be 28.

Hi, I have a computer that's running OS X 10.2 with a wireless card. I need to use VPN to connect to my university network, and I'm able to connect just fine (native VPN). The problem is that when I put the computer to sleep, I lose all the network settings (ip address, router etc). I...

Brand new 1 Ghz G4. Once in a while when putting the machine to sleep or shutting down the machine will squeak. I am pretty sure it is the hard drive. Anyone with this same experience? Craig

I want to leave our iMac in sleep when it is not in use, but my Dad says he doesn't want it like that because it uses too much power. I though it would use something about like a cordless telephone, or maybe a night light. Does anyone know for sure how much power it would use?

First off I have a cable connection so theres no need for dialing of any kind. The problem is that every time I wake from sleep, my old dialup connection starts dialing and trying to connect through the phone line. I use Microsoft Entourage, and it checks for new mail whenever I wake from...

I'm running 10.2.4 on a powerbook G4 800mhz/512mbram. For the past few months I've been having occasional problems with kernel panics when I wake it up from sleep. Recently it seems more frequently. I have no idea what it is and am not very savvy with unix systems so was wondering if anybody...
