I have a program that scheduled to run in the background even when the program itself isn't open but it won't run if my computer is asleep. I've set my Energy Saver to never put my computer to sleep but the program still isn't running. So I'm wanting to check and see if my computer does/doesn't...

Having posted previously and read many threads I've not found a solution so I'm back here again with an update... I've a misbehaving iBook (clamshell G3/SE - now running 10.3.8). Was fine until a few weeks ago when updated from 10.3.6 to 10.3.7 and added new RAM. Within a few hours of...

Just a day or two ago, seemingly out of nowhere, my iBook started to refuse to go to sleep properly. That is, it will not go to sleep properly when I close the lid. It will sleep nicely when I select 'Sleep' from the Apple menu, but as I'm carrying the 'Book around all the time, I really really...
