Every thing except the processor goes to sleep

When I put my Power Mac G5 to sleep, everything turns off except the fans still run and the display lamp doesn't do the breathing thing. I've removed everything except keyboard and mouse. I've turned off all automatic software instances I could find. Turned off and unplugged the system. I even did a clean install of the OS.
Is it time to look into service or am I missing something?
Please help.
Thanks, this forum has been very helpful in the past.

A more up to date synopsis:
My Dual G5 (it has an SMU reset button). Won't go to sleep. It puts peripheral IEEE 1394 drives to sleep and powers down any peripheral DVD RW drives. Moving the mouse wakes the system, as well as the usual methods.
This occurs when putting the system to sleep with the menu, or with the key command: option, command, eject.
I reset the SMU button, the PRAM and NVRAM(command, option ,P ,R until the second start-up chime). I used TechTool Deluxe v.3.1.1, set to "all tests", to repair any disk issues after doing a clean install w/ all associated updates OS X v.10.4.10. I ran Disk Utility to repair any permissions and to verify thier SMART status. Everything is O.K. with those tests.
I powered down and then unplugged the power cord for a few minutes. I ran the system with, and with out, any peripherals. I used the keyboard alone and the mouse alone to put the system to sleep. I let the system stay in this semi-sleep mode for a few hours. Restarted it a few times. No change.
Anybody got any ideas? It seems as though there's a hardware repair in my immediate future.

I have a year old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3. Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi. No problem with the Macbook and iPad. A lot of people seem to have the same problem. What's the solution?

I have a year-old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3. Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi from Airport Express. No problem with the Macbook or my iPad. It seems a lot Mac users are having the same problem. Is there a solution? Does Apple have a solution?

Sometimes there are problems.
Somethings to try but probably won't help....
1. Repair Disk Permissions
2. Startup in Safe mode by holding down the "Shift" key....
3. Reset the P Ram by holding down the "Command/Option/P/R" keys at the same time...
The above are standard items to do on any Mac from time to time.
I repair permissions at least once a month....
The other 2 periodically as they do straighten things out when they get out of whack....
Thanks for the feedback.

I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

Time Machine crashes whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer or post about this. Every time I try to initialize Time Machine, it will begin backing up until the computer goes to sleep or the screen saver kicks in. When I wake the computer up, I get a message that says "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk." The message also tells me that the problem might be temporary and to try Disk Utility to repair the backup disk if the problem persists.
When I run Disk Utility, I am told that the volume cannot be repaired and that it needs to be reformatted. I reformat the disk, try to run Time Machine again, and get the same problem whenever the computer goes to sleep or into screen saver mode. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I managed to get an initial backup only if I turned off the screen saver and the sleep function. However, once I turned them back on, I ran into the same problem when Time Machine tried to update the backup.
I am running OS X v.10.6.8 on an iMac5,1. The backup is a Toshiba 1TB USB external HD. I saw this same problem posted in the Lion forum (and I cribbed the title of this post from there). Nobody has offered a solution yet, but it was a very recent post.
Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah I forgot to say I use an ETHERNET connection.

My iPad doesn't seem to charge when plugged in to my MacBook Pro if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone continues to charge even if the MBP is closed. Is that normal?

My iPad (3rd Gen) seems to stop charging if it is plugged into my MBP if either the iPad is closed or if the MBP goes to sleep. My iPhone charges whether the MBP is awake or asleep or even if the MBP is closed. There is a screen display that shows the iPhone is charging. The iPad only has the tiny icon at the top of the screen that show it is charging. However, the battery's % charged does not increase if the lid is closed when I am charging the iPad if the lid is closed on the iPad or if the iPad off after pressing the on off button. Is this normal?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at

Syamak,
You didn’t specify where the beeping noise is coming from.
If it’s coming through your speakers, you could try to update your audio drivers since it’s possible they’re incorrectly sending a signal to the speakers as the audio chipset enters standby.
If the noise is coming from the motherboard, you’ll need to take a closer look at your system’s configuration or contact the manufacturer.
I hope this helps.

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and now I can't keep the wifi connection to stay on. I have to keep entering my wifi password when the phone goes to sleep. How do I keep the wifi connection when I wake up the phone?

I just updated my iphone 4 to ios6 and I can't keep the wifi connection when the phone goes to sleep. I need to keep entering my wifi password when I wake up the phone. How do I keep the wifi on each time I walk into my house without reentering my password?

What? Do you work for Apple?
I have been on the phone for Apple since 5:30 Eastern Time today. We are still on the phone with them. It is 10:14 PM. We are going to get a new phone because the ios6 has major problems! The wifi connectivity is a serious problem. Apple is aware of it. More people need to do something about it. I am willing to start a class action suit against them. I have means to an attorney pro bono. If you are having problems using your iphone 4 or 4s with wifi and ios6...I suggest you spend time calling a senior advisor and get a new phone sent to you. They know they messed up but they can't fix it.

Try setting the Energy Saver to "never" and uncheck "put hard disks to sleep when possible". You can allow the screen to sleep after any suitable time.
Hope that helps. Regards.

Updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and every time the MB goes to sleep I have to change my location to restore the internet connection. Any ideas why?

I have just updated to ML from Snow Leopard (to be able to use iCloud with my new iPhone 5) and after every time my 2009 MB 13" goes to sleep I have to change location in order to be able to navigate the internet. The connection is made but does not work on navigation. Changing locations enables navigation of the internet. I have three locations 'Automatic', 'Home' and 'Neufbox', my one-month-old ISP-supplied 'box' (router + VOIP telephone). I have never had such problems so I don't remember which location was the default although I am inclined to think it was 'Home'. The MB was delivered on Leopard and I updated to Snow Leopard with no problem. I didn't go to Lion. A friend recommended that I do this latest update because I couldn't synchronise the contacts and calendar from the MB to the iPhone and I hesitated after reading the many reports of inherent problems. I now have great regrets.

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.
