HI - I just forked out a couple of hundred clams for a 500g firewire drive from MacWay which appears in "about this mac" as follows: FireWire Bus: Maximum Speed: Up to 800 Mb/sec SilverMAX: Manufacturer: Macway Model: 0x2835 GUID: 0x63A060007FF07 Maximum Speed: Up to 800...

Like randys007 *sleep problem* , my imac has recently developed a type of narcolepsy. It will suddenly fall asleep, can be reawakened with a key touch but will, once it starts, fall back asleep again and again. I shut down and wait 20 minutes or so and it works for sometimes a long while...

I have a nicely padded laptop backpack.. made by InCase. (cheap !! check it out if you don't have one) http://www.atlantia.ca/mfg/incase/default.htm In any case, my powerbook's hard drive just crashed.. and I can't help but wonder if my habit of constantly "sleeping" the machine and...

Hi folks. I couldn't find any information at this, and what I did find elsewhere on the web was aimed for mirrored drive doors G4. Obviously, I don't have that kind of machine. I'm using a rahter old PowerMac G4 (350MHz) with PCI graphics. I love this machine, but I would like to enjoy the...

Hello, After installing Tiger.. the iMac start to have kernel panics and to don't wake up from sleep. Also I have to start up two times ( sometimes three) because at first startup the iMac stays forever in a white screen just after the dimmed white screen with the rolling sign. I...

I have a Dual G5 1.8 with OSX Tiger. When I switch screen names and leave one logged in and then become inactive the computer will not wake up from sleep mode. When I move mouse or hit esc the screen graphics are distorted and no button or mouse click will wake the machine up. My way around this...

I just bought a new dual 2.0 ghz power mac G5 about 2 weeks ago. I set everything up and dowloaded all the updates for everything, and then about a week into using it the problem started. I left for work and when I got home that evening after the computer had been asleep all day, it sounded...

I have gone back through earlier threads to try and resolve this problem and found some useful suggestions, but none work. If I set my G4 (800 Mhz 768 MB RAM 10.3.9) to require a password to wake it up from sleep, the damn thing won't wake up. All I get is a blank screen, so I have to reboot...

In the last few weeks my Mac doesn't sleep; when I press the sleep button, it starts to sleep, then re-awakens after a second or so. I believe I have isolated the problem to the USB hub in the display; if I start up with the display not connected, wait for startup to complete, then press the...

After installing 10.2 (currently running 10.2.8) my trusty Powerbook G3 (WallStreet, series II) developed a glitch with the screen power. Upon startup, the screen "lights" go out on the screen (though if held at the right angle and with the right light behind you, you can see that the LCD is...

Hi, I have two Samsung LCD monitors and a G5 1.8 dual. Both monitors using the DVI and ADC adapters, but the monitors connected to DVI don't want go to sleep, only the signal is suspended. Any idea? Thanks in advance

Hello, After reading some documentation, some of the marketing blrubs and the forums... it seems that when you are regularly using the Mac, it is better to set it to sleep rather than shutting it down every time. Fair enough... I have a Mac Mini, with only BT mouse and keyboard. I...

Hi there I recently bought an iMac G5 with OSX Tiger (about one week ago). I have just had a slightly worrying problem. While breaking from work, the computer went to sleep as normal but wouldn't respond to keyboard or mouse clicks to wake up. It then started to make a very loud whirring...

I have two, "new" G4s (450 DP) and a 350 with a 900 mhz FastMac processor. Both are running )Sys 9.2.2 to accommodate all of my old software.Everything is fine EXCEPT I had to turn off Energy Saver becasue everytime they go to sleep I can't revive them without pushing the restart button on the...

When operating on battery, my 15" Powerbook (10.3.9--2 years old)) used to auto-sleep when battery strength was very low -- say 2%-3%. Now it does so, and must be plugged in to awaken-- when battery strength meter says 55%-60%. After awakening the meter says 0%. Also, battery seems to be...

Hello and thank you for you support website. I recently upgraded my Mac G4 with an Apple OEM/ATI Technologies RADEON 9200 PRO 4X AGP 128MB Video Card. It's very impressive and a big improvement over the factory installed RAGE ATI card. Since I installed it though, I haven't been able to wake...

Several times over the past few weeks, my computer has gone into sleep mode (dark screen) and when I press keys to wake it up, it won't. The screen remains blank. I had to restart the computer the first time. The second time it happened I couldn't turn off the computer by pushing the power...

My iMac won't go to sleep although I have set the timing for that (30 min) in Energy saver. It works alright when I manually choose Sleep from Apple menu, but it doesn't work when I leave the computer for an hour or two. I've noticed some "click" sound every 10-15 minutes, but I don't know how...

I have a powermac G5 2x2ghz that goes to sleep intermittently without any prompting. I'll be working and it suddenly goes into sleep mode--it will reawake but then, with the move of the mouse, back to sleep. Some days it works fine, so there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when it...

Hi. I've seen this problem posted before, but not seen a reply Basically if I tell my iMac G5 to go to sleep, it sleeps. If the energy saving settings kick in and the Mac goes to sleep by itself, the screen goes black and the Power Light on the front lights up. However, it doesn't pulsate...
