Help... Mac cant sleep after 10.4.3 update...

When I put my rev. B Imac to sleep, it will wake up again by itself after 3-5 minutes and the fans will be running at full blast. I try to navigate around, but everything is frozen. The only way to get out of this is to manually power down the mac. I ran console and this is what it says...
Nov 6 14:22:59 Erics-iMac-G5 configd[29]: AppleTalk shutdown failed, status = 71 (retrying)
Nov 6 14:23:00 Erics-iMac-G5 configd[29]: AppleTalk shutdown failed, status = 71
Please help... this is very annoying.
Thank you.

A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
WAKE UP
In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
FILE CORRUPTION
Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
ENERGY SAVER
If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
In some cases, running MacOS X's cron tasks-maintenance that the OS performs automatically if you leave your Mac on 24 hours a day-can resolve many sleep problems. If you don't want to leave your Mac on, you can use MacJanitor, Yasu, or OnyX free at Versiontracker.com.
If that does'nt do it, post back
Cheers!

Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

Why won't my Mac Pro sleep after Lion is installed?

Tell us, what hardware add ons?
old software? that required PowerPC/Rosetta maybe.
Look for any apps, process that used powerpc and look for updates, check out RoaringApps for a table of Lion compatible programs
does it happen iwth a clean install?
how about if you do a Safe Boot?

Mac Pro sleeps after being woken up by WOL

Hi Folks
In order to wake up my Mac Pro on demand, I have set up Wake Over LAN (WOL) over the network and enabled "wake for network access" at System Preferences > Energy Saver on the Mac Pro. Now I am able to wake up the machine from my local router or across the Internet, but just wake up for a little while only.
The issue is, after the Mac Pro is being woken up by WOL for about 30 seconds, the machine always goes into sleep mode again for no reason. During the short alive period, the virtual machines running on the Mac Pro are pingable but the monitors are not on and the replaying YouTube video has no audio.
However, if I click the mouse or press the keyboard, the Mac Pro can be woken up as expected: the monitors are powered on, YouTube video is audible, all VMs are pingable too.
Why does my Mac Pro get woken up this way? How to fix it?
Thanks heaps in advance.
Regards,
B

> Now I am able to wake up the machine from my local router or across the Internet, but just wake up for a little while only.
From my local router, I use below way to wake up the Mac Pro.
I can also wake up the Mac this way over the Internet.
For your information, I can successfully wake up other WOL enabled Windows machines this way on the same network with no problem.
As mentioned, both ways can only wake up the Mac Pro for about 30 seconds, then machine will automatically sleep again though at System Preferences I have set the computer to sleep after "3 hrs" or "never", as shown below.
What I expect is just to make the Mac Pro back to work the same way like I locally press the keyboard or click the mouse, not to automatically sleep again in seconds.
Any thought please? Thanks!

Please explain specifically how you are trying to WOL, what you want to accomplish by doing so, & how long you think whatever it is you want to accomplish should take.
Also, what VM's are you running & by what method do they run (like via Parallels or whatever).

IMac wont sleep after 10.6.3 update

I just bought a new 27" iMac i7 on saturday, I barely had time to do anything to the machine before I updated on monday to 10.6.3. The iMac was going to sleep just fine before the update, now when I put the iMac to sleep, it will go to sleep, but after a few minutes it wakes itself up. I've looked at my sys.log, but it doesnt give me any reason for it's wake up.
Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a solution?
The whole point of replacing my MacPro with this iMac was to save a bit on electricity costs. But now that point is moot because I cant put it to sleep! Please help!

HI,
First, try Resetting the PRAM
Restart your iMac. If the problem persists, try Resetting the SMC
Sorry you are experiencing problems with a brand new iMac! If you did not repair disk permissions, do that. Repair permissions after every software update.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

AirPlay network discovery during sleep after OS 7.0 Update

After updating my Apple TV3 to OS 7.0 (6897.5), when it goes in to sleep it is no longer network discoverable as an AirPlay option on iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac.
On OS 6.2 it was always showing as an AirPlay option when in sleep and would wake and play when audio/video was sent to it.
It now manually requires waking for it be discoverable on the network for an AirPlay option.
I have another Apple TV3 still on OS 6.2, which is discoverable during sleep and wakes when audio is sent to it, very hesitant to update now due to this issue.
It seems like more of a feature removal than a software/hardware fault?
Anyone else noticed this issue? Or found a fix?
Have restored completely earlier today but the issue still se

hi there,
i had the same issue. (Ethernet/kable) after the AppleTV 3 updated automaticly last night.
i solved it for me.
i Did a full factory reset. It also automaticly downloaded and instaled the ios again. After filling out all the id's and so on. It workes
maybe that helps for you too.

IMac will not auto sleep after 10.5.7 update with Safari 4 Beta

I've noticed that my new iMac 24" will not automatically sleep after updating to 10.5.7. Actually, that's not completely true, I've just discovered that if Safari Beta 4 (latest update) is open the iMac will never sleep automatically, but that if Safari is not open, automatic sleep works perfectly as it always did with 10.5.6. I've repeated this test numerous times and it's always consistent. Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry that I do not remember where I saw this, could be MacFixIt, but the advice that I saw for issues with the 10.5.7 delta that comes through Software Update for folks with 10.5.6, was to download and overlay the 10.5.7 Combo as Carolyn has suggested, and then to download and install the most recent beta for Safari 4.
Of course this is best done without multitasking while the installations are happening, as well as unplugging and shutting down all other processes; external attachments and even Bluetooth and Air Port. Prepare for the installs by rebooting to your Install DVD and use Disk Utility in the Utilities Menu to verify and repair any issues with your boot volume, followed by rebooting into your account and using DU in Apps/Utilities to Repair Disk Permissions before and after the installs.

Odd sleep after 10.5.5 update

I have noticed some strange behavior from time to time after applying the combo update to two MBP's.
You put it to sleep, and shut the lid. If you raise the lid shortly thereafter (meaning your computer should awake), everything you hear indicates the computer is awake, but the screen is dark. You have to hard power off and power up and then things are fine..

Mac locks up after 10.5.2 update

its happened about 5 times in a row now. after i restart, the computer will run fine for about 5 minutes and then just lock up. the fan starts to spin real fast too. anyone else?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I used to run my MBP for days without shutting down - just sleep. The morning I updated to 10.5.2 - i was locked up inside of 5 mins. That day it happened 4 times. The first 2 happened quickly. I had to hard-power-off the machine in order to free the lock - although my mouse cursor was still responding - even itunes continued to play in the background.
Since I upgraded to 10.5.2, it has happened a total of 8 times. Is there an easy way to downgrade back to 10.5.1 until this issue is sorted out?
I thought it might be software related - since the first two times it happened I was in Entourage. However its happened when I was in Photoshop as well.
I haven't noticed my fan going off - but it sure does lock up nice and tight.

Cant find Mac OS boot after win 8.1 update.

Hi there,
Ive had a look around the net for a possible solution but no luck so far.
I recently installed Win 8.1 on a partition. My Macbook pro is a model A1398.
I was trying to create a shared partition. From Mac OS I made the new shared partition ex-FAT. I went into Win 8.1 reformatted it (cant remember if I left it at ex-FAT). In the process of restarting Win 8.1 was nice enough to download some updates and restarted itself.
From then on it doesnt see the Mac OS boot any more. Doesnt even boot into Windows! It has start up errors. I tried the command + R option and I cant do the following either:
1. I cant seem to do anything useful (unless Im missing something) with Disk Utility. Diagnostics show that the Mac OS X install is fine.
2. Cant re-install because it cant see any boot disk options to select from.
Right now Im screwed. Cant do anything with my "fancy pants" macbook pro. Any help would me much appreciated!
Cheers.

Had to revert to wiping everything out and starting from scratch. Didnt have a back up so thats the only way. Set the partition to GUID and Mac OS journalled.
Command + Option + P + R and then set it all to just one partition. Then re-install mac OS.
If the above start up option didnt work, try the command R then try the above option again.
Hoe this helps someone.

Rmbp 15" cant restart after 10.9.1 update!!! HELP

So i downloaded the 10.9.1 update and everything went fine.
Until the restart. Its just stuck at the white background, apple logo and spinning wheel beneath it.
After leaving it for 30 minutes or so, and reading up on people who have had install hangs earlier in the process, I decided to force power down (holding power key down) and restarting.
Same thing. Just is stuck and that apple logo.
HELP!!!
System details:
- OS 10.9 (before upgrading)
- rMbp 15" late 2013
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

A couple of things to try. I think you may have a specific version of 10.9.1 that you need and not the 13B42 build that is offered from the App Store or from Apple's download page.
1. Restart while holding the COMMAND+R keys. Choose Reinstall OS X Mavericks from the OS X Utilities Menu. This should download the full installer for 10.9.1 for your specific rMBP.
2. If #1 doesn't work. Restart while holding the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys to envoke Internet Recovery. Choose Reinstall OS X Mavericks from the OS X Utilities Menu. This should download the full installer for 10.9.1 for your specific rMBP.
Both of the above will not harm you data or apps. They will only reinstall OS X.

HELP! Error message after itunes 10.2 update + ipad will not appear on Macs

Everything was fine until I tried to update to 10.2. Error message appeared and ipad lost sync. Now ipad does not show on computer when itunes opens. Also ipad missing several apps from screen.
How/why the heck did this happen????

See this support document for error codes. Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support The 39 does not appear, but there is a 37 and 40, so I would believe it is close to that.
If you are having trouble updating, you need to check this support document for that. You may need to put the device into Recovery Mode.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could also be the security software on the Windows PC. Another question, is the device jailbroken?

Crashes after wake from Sleep after 10.8.1 update

2.5 Ghz Mac Mini (mid 2011), 8 Gigs of RAM
Since the day I upgraded to 10.8.1 I have had persistent crashes, 1 every 24 hours or so. It's always shortly after a wake from sleep. In all cases, it is impossible to switch to a random open application. But once I hit that application, no other application will respond to anything, including a Force Quit, or if it will force quit, it won't relaunch. A shut down will hang because an app refuses to quit. I can quit the Finder, but it won't relaunch. Have reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, zapped the PRAM, reset the SMC, checked and extensively tested the HD and RAM. Replaced RAM with original Apple RAM. Didn't help, so I swapped back to the RAM from Crucial. I can't think of anything else to try. Machine does not crash unless it has been asleep. Runs flawlessly when sleep is disabled. After a reboot (usually via a shut down via the power switch, start from scratch, check of the HD integrity, and then a clean restart) the machine will run fine, sleep and wake normally for about 24 hours. As near as I can tell from the logs, the hangs usually begin right after the Time Machine Backup after a wake from sleep finishes. If I don't allow the machine to sleep, there are no problems of any kind. Making me crazy. Did not occur under Lion or the .0 version of Mountain Lion. Is making me crazier than I normally am which is sorta serious.

Any solutions to this problem? I too have this kernel panic, however it only happens about once a week. Always upon wake from sleep as you've indicated.
FYI I don't have intego software, or an APC installed. Nor am I using filevault.
This is on an up to date, MacBook Pro Retina.

IMac will not wake from sleep after 10.4.8 Update

Recently after a couple of software updates my IMac goes to sleep and the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse will not wake it. The option for wake with Bluetooth is checked. I zapped the PRAM and also checked the HD, Nothing has changed. NOTE: No new software or hardware installs were done except for 10.4.8 update and the other mac software updates. This did not happen in prior versions of the OS on my iMac. Is this a new bug?
iMac G5 1.8 (pre iSight) Mac OS X (10.4.8) Bluetooth, Wake from Sleep

I've been dealing with this same issue, have tried everything, but to no avail. After MANY sessions on the phone with Apple tech support, as well as an Apple product specialist, I was advised to erase my computer and do a fresh install. I did an archive an install, which didn't help, but am not thrilled about the prospect of erasing everything and starting over. This problem started after the August 2006 round of updates. I feel it's bluetooth related, because I used a usb keyboard and mouse for a week as a test, with no problem. The funny thing is, I unchecked "allow bluetooth device to wake computer" thinking it might help, but the bluetooth devices continue to wake the computer anyway (except when it refuses to wake, of course!)

IBook don't go into sleep after 10.4.7 update.

Hello,
today i've installed the 10.4.7 update. After the installation my iBook doesn't go into sleep. When I close the Notebook the white indicator blinking once and the iBook wake up. If I try to activate the sleep mode from apple menu it is the same problem.
I have disconnected all USB devices and also the modem, network and deactivate the airport connection. I've also deactivated the wake up on LAN- and modem ring in the System Preferences. But with no effect.
Next I have checked the process list but there is no application witch is abnormally.
I have talked with a friend an he says that he have the same problem and also with the USB connection after the update. He has an PowerMac G4.
We have compared the sys-log files and we have the same abnormally entries after the 10.4.7 update.
Log-file:
===== Saturday, July 8, 2006 7:18:22 PM Europe/Berlin =====
Jul 8 19:18:26 iBookG4 kernel[0]: jnl: close: flushing the buffer cache (start 0x4a6800 end 0x4a9a00)

You can see that the system go into Sleep and Wake up at the same second. That is not normal I think. And also the" iBookG4 kernel[0]: Sound assertion...".
The line: "...iBookG4 kernel[0]: jnl: close: flushing..." I not know what this is? There are much of them in the log after the update.
An iBook with no standby function is not acceptable for me. Is there any possibility to downgrade the System to 10.4.6?
Please help me in this reason.
