sleep

I have a Powerbook G4 1GHz running OS 10.2.8. Beginning recently the hard drive won't sleep - it runs all the time. I reset the PRAM and NVRAM and also reset the PMU but these have not corrected this issue. Other ideas? It does seem like it might be a power management issue because it also has...

I have a G4 Dual 1.25 GHZ running 10.4.4 Just recently, when I try to put the computer to sleep using any of the various methods, it takes longer than usual, then the monitor will go black but the fan will keep running. (the fan never turns off) When I try to wake the computer back up nothing...

Hello everybody, I've heard advice that if you have a laptop (i'm on a powerbook) that you shouldn't shut your system down unless you really need to. You should all ways close the lid and let it sleep. What's the reasoning? dan

I've just moved to a G5 from my G3. Temporarily I'm using the Sony trini tube from my G3 until I get an LCD. With the G3, the trini passed thru and was powered by the G3. Sleep ran fine. With the G5 (dualie 2G) it sleeps OK, but it is very slow to wake, like 30 secs. Any ideas? Will I face...

Hi, I've a strange problem with my powerbook. A few days ago it won't go to sleep when i put the lid nor when i manually try to make it sleep. When i close the lid, it goes into sleep mode put only for 1 second and then starts up again. But this is only if the powerbook is connected to power...

Greetings A strange thing happened today with my ibook G4. I Bought my ibook in early july, naturally just before the new line came out (figures). I have had absolutely no trouble with it up until now, and it has served me very well. Here is what happened: Late last night I was on the the...

Does anyone have advice for a Imac G4 V 10.3.9 that is displaying a screen that is 2/3 white with the top 1/3 hazy. Disk Aid and Hardware tools showed no problems, but when I tried to reset the PRAM, I got the Gray screen with the apple, and it was frozen so I had to reinstall my OS, which...

I've got a g4, it goes into sleep mode eventually which is great, quiet, doesn't make a sound. (it's in my room where I sleep) but the monitor button and power button glow on and off which makes it impossible to sleep. Can this be turned off so I can keep my computer running in the night?

It is a powerbook G3 wallstreet running jaguar. What do i do? p.s. part of startup with the bar. i can barely see it. The apple with the rotator is lit though. Then i'll press the brightness up and it goes like normal. But that doesn't work after sleep mode.

It used to sleep just fine but since upgrading to 10.3.9 it won't sleep at all. If I choose sleep from the apple menu, it starts to drowse and then within seconds it starts revving up again. This also turns the monitor back on and it is set to go dark in 3 minutes. Any suggestions?

Can someone please shed some light? I have an imac G5 20". it was one of the first that came out last year. It keeps on going to sleep unexpectedly. I will manually wake it, but it goes back to sleep in 5 to 10 seconds. I have taken it to the apple genius guys 3 to 4 times they say it is a...

...without going through menus or scripts. put simply: alt+apple+eject.

My powerbook randomly falls into sleep. The battery is most definitely charged, and it does it with the battery out or in, and with the power adapter out or in. I've reset the PMU, and done everything I could think of short of bringing it in to Apple. Phone Tech Support was rather unhelpful...

My iMac G5 17" running tiger 10.4.2 just stopped going into sleep mode with the keyboard keys "CMD+OPT". This just happened yesterday, until then, nary a problem. I'm using a Macally keyboard, so the first thing I tried was the original Mac keyboard, same problem on either USB port. Tried...

At night I log out but leave my computer, an iMac G5 flat screen, on all night--as advised by Apple. In the morning, it often will not wake up, and I am forced to shut down by using the power button and then restart. Can you help? I am using system 10.4.2.

I just installed a iogear pci usb 2.0 card in my G4 867 Quick silver and now when I try to put it to sleep it does not always sleep. I am running 10.3.9 on my computer. Sometimes it will sleep as normal and sometimes the display will shut down but the cooling fan stays on and you have to hold...

Hello, I would like to run a script when my computer goes to sleep. Background: I am connected through Cisco VPN to my University and have several drives mounted over smb. When I shut my Powerbook and don't think of it, the VPN connection is interrupted and the Drives stay mounted in the...
