10.4.7 has sleep/shut down bug?

My iMac G5 has worked flawlessly for almost two years until the most recent update: 10.4.7. Now it doesn't know the difference between sleep and shut down. I had never experienced that problem ever, until 10.4.7. I already reset the PRAM a few times, but that doesn't help. I even opened up my Mac and reset the SMU, and it did it again. I'm tempted to do a clean install and put 10.4.6 back and forget 10.4.7. Anyone know if Apple will release a fix soon?

Hi, Carla.
I don't believe this is a bug in 10.4.7 but rather an issue specific to your computer. I suggest following these general iMac G5 troubleshooting steps:1. See if your computer's serial number is in the range specified in the "iMac G5 Repair Extension Program for Video and Power Issues" document.
2. Rule out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer. For additional details, see my "Apple Hardware Test" FAQ.
3. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
4. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
5. See also the iMac Service & Support site.
6. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
7. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
8. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.Before installing future software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

my iPhone 4 has just shut down. Rang the phone then vibrated for 2 minutes bank screen, will not turn on, also tried charging and will not charge. Any suggestions? I did download a ringtone app and went on to iTunes to sync!.

Try charging the iPhone via a wall socket for at least 30 minutes then try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider. Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

Two days ago, I loaded Light Room 6. Today I went back to Light Room 5. LR 6 corrupted an entire folder of images, and caused errors on my Raid 5 causing win 7 to run "Chk Dsk" and fix the errors to the operating system. LR 5 has not shut down for the last 5 hours. LR 6 has a serious bug. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Yesterday I was on tech support, waiting for 3 hours, finally they picked up and informed me there department was closing and someone else would call me on Monday. So, I'm working today and all day Sunday to make up for the down time using LR 6.
I don't know if the bug exists in the program or the "Creative Cloud.
Question: Does anyone know why if I bought Light Room 6 [NOT Light Room CC with the monthly rental], I have to enter my serial number if I want to use it?

Entering the serial number is probably part of the registration process.
Just out of curiosity, what were you doing on LR6 when the folder of images became corrupted?

Hi candybooist,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Cheers,
- Ari

When I turned my Macbook on and signed in, it has been shutting down automatically and restarting itself immediately after opening the desktop. The error message said, I'd shut down my computer unexpectedly. How can I get it to stop shutting down on me?

Since downloading OS X Mavericks, my computer has been shutting down midway of starting up. Please help! The problem began after downloading the software free update. Now when I start my computer, it will starts up normal but when the desktop appears, there will be an error message that I shut down my computer because of an error and if I would like to open the applications that were open before the sudden shut down I should press continue. Then when I select continue, it will open up another communication window that my computer is restarting because of an error. Then the screen will revert to shutting down and restarting again. This has been going on now all morning. Can someone hlep me on how to resolve this issue?

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

I have a iPhone 4 and lately it has been shutting down randomly when I still have battery left. It also doesn't turn back on, until I plug it in to the charger. But when I plug it in, the low battery sign shows up then comes to the lock screen with 68%.

Itunes Has To Shut Down

my brother sent our computer to a reset point and i had to un-install Itunes. Now when i try to re-install itunes it completes but then comes up with a message saying Itunes has encountered a problem and has to shut down. It also says about sending an "error report" which i have done but nothing has come of it. PLEASE HELP people

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

My iMac has been shutting down abruptly

My new iMac has been shutting down abruptly the past week and after that I have to wait several minutes to try and see if it will turn on. At first I thought it was overheating, but even after being on less than an hour it shuts down. Does anyone know the reason why this is happenig? Oh, and I was just browsing on the internet, there were no weird programs runnig and the anti virus scan says it's clean.

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
This diagnostic procedure will query the system log for messages that may indicate a hardware fault. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

Have you tried holding the power button down for several seconds? I would try the force quit as mentioned earlier first, or go to the Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities and try force quit there.

Mountain Lion won't sleep, shut down, restart, or log out.

Hi All,
After Mountain Lion my 2010 iMac 27" won't sleep, shut down, restart, or log out.
Basically most functionalities of clicking the apple icon are disabled - "About this Mac" doesn't work either.
Please help!
Before Apple fixes this, is there another way of putting my Mac to sleep or shut down?

Just adding another voice to the chorus. Since upgrading to Mountain Lion my computer will not sleep. The cursor freezes when I try to invoke sleep but the computer and monitor remain on. The cursor unfreezes when I tap the spacebar the way I would normally do to wake from sleep. Fortunately, shutdown, restart and logout function normally, so I guess I should count my blessings. This isn't my only problem with Mountain Lion, but I didn't want to muddy the waters on this thread with other issues.

Everytime i load up i-tunes about 30 seconds in i get an error message saying i-tunes has to shut down,i currently use windows XP?

I use an old laptop which still uses windows xp,i have a new laptop coming today which uses windows 8,my problem is that when i load up i-tunes,after about 30 seconds of using it,an error warning appears,those ones that asks if you want to send an error report.It is telling me that i-tunes has to shut down which it then does when you either send a report or just cancel,is this because of windows xp no longer getting support or whatever?

Hi nodski67,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you have an alert that keeps popping up in iTunes on your Windows XP computer that forces iTunes to quit. I suggest working through the following article to isolate and resolve this situation.

Macbook Pro has been shutting down unexpectedly

My MacBook Pro (retina 15 inch) OS X Yosemite, which had been very stable since purchased in late 2013 has been shutting down unexpectedly in recent weeks. Sometimes it's caused by Excel or Quicken, other times, it's a mystery. And the whole computer crashes, not just a program. What could be causing this recent behavior?

I found the records using the info on the link you provided. I have had five kernel panics in the last month. Do you want me to post them all here? I've copied yesterday's below:

Shut down bug when other users are logged in

G'day all
I've jut noticed a shut down bug with Leopard. If I try to shut down and another user is active I have to type in a name and password etc. If I do this and click the Shutdown button I get an error message " invalid user name or password - please try again". If I hit "return" it shuts down.
Trivial but a bug none the less.
Cheers
Steve

HI,
Might just be a corruped preference file.
Locate this file.
com.apple.loginwindow.plist
MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

My phone has been shutting down by itself. Why is it doing that?

My Iphone has been shutting down by itself and its not keeping a charge either i use to keep battery life until at least the end of the day, thatas even when I close out my apps. Even Siri start talking on its own. Whats the reason for all this?

The iPhone can shut down by itself when the battery is too low. Don't know if you have a malfunction that is running continuously and as such draining the battery ...or if you just have a warn out battery.

10.4.7 has sleep/shut down bug?
