sleep

Hi all, Lately I cant get my PB to sleep with the screen/lid open. Its strange because this was fixed and then after 10.3.7 update it came back again. Moreover, whenever the PB turns back on, the wireless keyboard I have is also turned off and I have to set it up again? One other strange...

I can't shut my Power Mac down or put it to sleep. All I can do is reset it. The only way to actually turn it off is to unplug it. Also, once I have turned it off by unplugging it, once I plug it back in it won't turn on. I have to unplug my main monitor from the main DVI-out on my video...

Hi, I have to keep my computer on 24/7, as the computer is in my bedroom I set the display to dim after 1 minute using the 'Energy Saver' system preference when I goto bed. Is there anyway I can automate this using an applescript or some software so I don't have to open system preferences...

I have a single 1.8ghz G5 (one of the first) and I have a periodic problem where the computer will freeze coming out of standby. It appears that the drives are refusing to spin up, as I never hear anything. I can move the mouse and the Cinema monitor will come out of standby and show my...

I've just enabled WEP on my wireless router (D-link). Now when I wake my powerbook from sleep I have to select the network from the airport icon in the menu bar in order to connect again. Before I had the WEP enabled it used to connect automatically. Is there a way automatically connect to my...

Has anyone else noted this? I have my computer set to require a password to wake up from sleep or from the screensaver (security settings in system preferences), and yet I can leave my computer for hours, come back, wiggle the mouse, and it just wakes up without my having to enter a password...

Hello, I used to have a DSL modem where I log in to go on the internet, now (since two days) I have the same modem that is always on through a gateway/router that keeps the connection active. In other words as soon as I turn my Mac on it's on the internet, without me having to connect to the...

Hi All, I was wondering is there any way to quickly put a powerbook display to sleep besides going to system preferences and setting it to sleep after one minute? Like a menubar item or an applescript or something that tells the display to go to sleep right now? I don't want to put the whole...

Hey what's the benefit of making the powerbook sleep? Apart from being able to use Mac OS X straight away. Tha

My wife's Powerbook is draining its battery when it's asleep (and awake, but that's normal). The other day she put it to sleep with 95% power available, and when she returned about 4 hours later it was down to 5% - while asleep! What's going on? How do we fix it? She did recently update...

I have 10.3.4 . I just added a "managed" user account for my roommate so he can get onto my computer without my mess of a user account confusing him. Both accounts were logged in and the computer would be put to sleep since we weren't using it. Later on, one of us would open it and log in...

I have a powerbook pismo, running on OS 9.2.2 just crashed and after re-starting my sleep function has dissapeared, I can only shut down, has any one had this problem ? or know how I can get the sleep function working again ? would appreciate any help. mike :(

I seem to have developed a nasty habit of letting my Powerbook G4 either run low on battery power or simply closing the top when in a game. This presents a problem, as I have enabled the setting to ask for authorization after waking from sleep. Seems that while the screen asking for...

Hi there. My Dual Proc. G4 with OSX 10.3.4 has been fine. Suddenly, when I go to sleep mode, it goes to sleep and immediately wakes itself up again (it won't sleep). And when I shut it down, it will boot itself back up some time later. Anyone ever experienced this before?

I'm connected through ethernet to a LAN... if i leave my computer on sleep, after returning to work on it, safari and mail don't work... if i check in system preferences, i can read that i have a self assigned ip and that i can't connect to internet... what's happening? What should i do...

When I take my iBook out of sleep mode, I can hear the combo drive make some "cocking" noise, like it's loading up. There is no disk in the drive, so I assume this is normal, but I wonder if I can disable this.

Hi All, My G4 1.42ghz has decided to go to sleep every now and again without anything telling it to! Well I've found nothing obvious that could be doing it - I've checked the schedule tab in preferences in energy saver and I've checked to see if I have a corner of the screen set to put it to...

Hi all, Hope all is well with you. I'm having trouble getting my PB to sleep (and no I haven't told it bedtime stories yet..hehe). I've set the preferences in Energy Saver Panel to go to sleep after 15mins. The screensaver comes on and then the screen goes a bit darker but thats it. If...

I posted this here because it has more to do with osx than unix. there is this neat program in /usr/sbin called screencapture that lets you take a screen shot from the command line. extremely useful if something is messed up on your mac and you want to check on it. the problem i'm having...

OK, so I'm on my 2nd PCI USB 2.0 card. Here's what happens: 1. When my G4 goes into deep sleep with a CFlash card in a reader attached to the PCI card, it takes forever to wake up with an alert that the device wasn't properly ejected. 2. With the CF card removed and the reader still plugged...
