15" AL PB G4 Sleep Problems

Another in the long list of sleep problems. Running the latest & greatest Tiger and all that. I have read and read and READ! the discussions and followed most of the advise to no avail. Here's what's up.
When I try to put the PB to sleep, either by closing the lid or through apple menu, everything starts out ok. Screen goes dark, LED comes on, Great! At the moment when the LED becomes brightest, the Superdrive makes a noise like it is cycling, and the PB wakes up. If I leave the lid closed it continues this indefinitely. If the lid is up, it wakes and the srceen flashes from desktop to black a couple of times the seems ok.
When I open the lid after experiencing this behavior I can hear the machine wake, but screen stays black. Must turn off by holding down power button, then start up again and all is fine.
Any one else experiencing this drive cycling?
Thanx,
Chris

Possible reason for the iMac G5 with 10.4.3 Sleep Problems

Ok first off let me say that I got this new iMac G5 20" about 4 days ago. It's wonderful. If anyone out there is holding out for the intel machines, don't wait, get a G5. It's a fantastic machine. Now on to the meat of the subject. The story goes like this; I hooked up my Plextor PVR with eyeTV to my iMac to see how well it would do (been using it with a P4 Windoze XP machine and my iBook G4 14" with no problems). It worked just great. No problems with the iMac, the PVR or any of my other addons (including the boatload of software I migrated over from the iBook). So I set up EyeTV to record some stuff while I was asleep. It's supposed to wake up the Mac, record the shows then the Mac goes back to sleep. Easy huh? Well the wakeup, record part went just fine but the Mac wouldn't go back to sleep. Perplexed (actually thrilled, this is where I have my most fun with new machines, figuring out why they aren't working correctly) I did all the standard "I can't get my Mac to sleep automatically" things. You know, blow away all the plist files that have anything to do with powermanagement and autowake, reset NVRAM from OF, reset the PRAM (3 times just like the old days), reset the SMU, blow away all the Bluetooth plist files, etc, etc. Did them all, don't suggest any, I did them all I swear, really. I've been through this kind of thing before. One big difference with this iMac. Nothing and I mean nothing would work to fix the problem. The only way the bad boy would sleep is by hitting the Power button for a second or selecting "Sleep" from the Apple menu. Hmmmm. Spent the better part of a morning reading every thread here about peoples problems like mine. One post and I mean exactly one had something I hadn't tried. I rebooted the Mac in Safe Mode (hold the shift key down while it boots until you get the login screen with the red text "Safe Mode".) I forgot that OSX even did that. Logged in as myself (normal login but still in safe mode) and low and behold the thing would sleep automatically! I repeated this (boot in normal mode, boot in safe mode) many times. Every single time the Mac would sleep from safe mode but not from normal mode. Tells me it's software not hardware. In each mode I run "Activity Monitor" and save a list of the running processes to a text file. Now compare them and shutdown each process that is different one at a time. To make this story somewhat shorter (heh) I finally found that I could consistantly make the machine sleep or not sleep by killing the "mdimport" process and restarting it. This has to do with Spotlight. To be exact, it's the process that imports Metadata into Spotlights data list (I'm no expert, have a basic understanding of this). So on a hunch I ran the terminal and entered the command to delete then rebuild Spotlights databases, "mdutil -E /". Then I let Spotlight rebuild that databases and rebooted. Guess what? The iMac sleeps perfectly now, go figure. I did this once so far and the Mac has been working correctly now for about 5 hours. I've got a feeling that the problem will come back. Especially if it's an inherent problem in Spotlight and the 10.4.3 upgrade. I don't seem to have this problem with 10.4 or earlier. Long post I know but I thought it could help someone out. Please post any comments. I'd like to know if what I did is coincidence (I really don't think so since I reproduced it many times) or not.

iBook G4 1Gig, iMac G5 2.1 Gig, iMac 266 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iMac 266 running 10.3.6, been using Macs since the '80s

Right guy's i to have researched this problem
concerning my auto sleep problem.I started off by
following Joeaux's original post by safe
booting,noting what was running in the activity
monitor,booting normaly and again noting what was
running now.I eliminated the same processes that were
running from both boots, and then started quiting one
by one, the extra processes, from the normal boot, in
activity monitor.Once you quit a process, allow the
computer to try to go to sleep i.e set energy saver
to 1minute and wait to see what happens.I tried the "
mdimport"as of Joeaux but this was not my problem.In
my case the sleep problem was down to two
applications called N67U_ButtonManager and
N124U_ButtonManager.These are for use with my Canon
scanner.I also noted that if i left the scanner
connected to the computer this would also stop it
going to sleep,even after deleting the two
applications.Hope this helps!
Thank you now i know that those login items are for my scanner, and not logic audio i am a little less angry(Logic is now an apple application but the version I run was from the emagic days and i presumed that the button managers were from this app as it was the oldest bit of software running on my machine) By the way any apps that may cause a problem like this are more than likely simply residing in your user login items and can be disabled from there permanently as far as i can see.

Unresponsive Keyboard and Trackpad problem AT STARTUP + Sleep problem

When I turn on my computer it boots the OS and everything works except for the trackpad and the keyboard. I wait for about 5-7 minutes and then the trackpad and the keyboard start working.
Additional problems:
If I try to sleep my computer, the screen turns off, but the computer never stops working, so I have to force it to shut down.
Temporal Solutions
1) Boot in safe mode, it solves the trackpad/keyboard problems but not the Sleeping problem
Attempted fixes
1) Conencted external keyboard mouse/keyboard. Doesn't work
2) Reset the battery controller.
3) Reinstalled 10.6
4) Installed 10.5
5) Installed 10.6.3
Known Stuff:
1) The trackpad/keyboard are always connected as I can move the mouse and use some gestures with the Better Touch Tool app, and the keyboard works because if I click the Caps Lock key, the small led turns on.
2) Also, I have the HardwareGrowler app which tells me if hardware gets connected or disconnected and it never tells me anything about the trackpad/keyboard getting disconnected.
3) The OS is working at startup because apps show stuff and get updated and I can still get growl notifications.
NOTE: This is an intermittent problem, about 1 out of 10 times I turn on the computer I GET the problem.
Thanks a lot!

I came across a similar issue as the original poster. My trackpad and keyboard are unresponsive for 5 - 7 minutes after startup. I've updated my OS to 10.6.4 twice and it's still happening. I recognized this behavior after the Preferences->Network pane froze while I was trying to remove a VPN setting. Removing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfigurations did not help the problem.
Do any of you have advice on debugging the issue?

Power Mac G4 sleep problem

Hello!
My G4 (mdd) won't go to sleep anymore. Neither on its own via energy saver nor when you press the power button or select sleep in the apple menu. Does anyone know what to do?
I already unplugged my USB devices, didn't help. Then I trashed my energy saver and bluetooth preferences and reset PRAM by pressing <commandoption+PR> at startup, no luck. I read all the previous posts about this issue and did everything they said, but it didn't help.
maybe someone has an additional suggestion.
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.
Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
Yours would be the 10.3.9 combo update. Others here would use the one for their version.
Cheers!

Leopard sleep problem which seems related to Entourage 2008...

Hi all,
I have a MBP (3,1) running 10.5.2 and I noticed about 3 months ago that if I left the lid open the energy saver triggered sleep wouldn't kick in (very hot laptop next morning syndrome).
I've read a number of other threads on Leopard auto-sleep problems (which pointed to the HP AIO frameworks) but this doesn't appear to be the same issue I have...
If I quit Entourage 2008 then the computer will sleep after the correct period of time - and that's with no other changes to my normal use. Of course I'd like to not have to worry about quitting Entourage each time I might, maybe, just possibly not be back at the computer for a while.
Now in the system log I do keep getting the following strange entries:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Entourage.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Entourage[914]: Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.
I have no idea what this really does and I do appear to have such a file in the system called X509Anchors...
If I switch Entourage to Offline mode then the entries don't appear in the system log anymore but... the unit still won't sleep. It requires Entourage not to be running it seems.
Having not seen anything else on the discussions forum relating to Entourage 2008 preventing auto-sleep I'm beginning to wonder whether it's just me?!?
Anyone else seeing this effect? And most importantly, does anyone know of a fix?
I have tried the NMS sleep utility stuff and although it worked perfectly whilst I was testing it using Energy saver timings of 1 minute... as soon as I upped the time back to my usual 30 minutes for CPU sleep it failed to work again.
Any help much appreciated.

Ok two things based on the crash report and the steps you took right before the crash:
# Try to disable scrolling acceleration and restart Firefox. Does it continue to crash?
# Try Safe Mode and do the same task as above with email and the pdf [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
# Also pdf.js may be helpful to read pdfs in the meantime. You can change the default reader in the Preferences/Options > Application menu of Firefox.
# Try to clear out the downloads folder and update flash to version 14 (that should do it)
IF it crashes again please also provide the new crash signatures and we can take a look :-) Sorry for the crashing :-(

IMac wake from sleep problem

I have an Intel imac that I've had for about 9 months. It is on a normal sleep setting and I usually wake it from sleep by moving the mouse.
In the past 3 weeks, though, I have had to wake it up by pressing the space bar. When I do this the computer pauses for a moment and I hear something wind down (I would say it is the hard drive, but the tone of the sound actually goes down rather than up - as if something got stuck on its way to sleeping).
Any ideas about this ? I also had the computer go to sleep yesterday and not wake up (led lights on screen were on, but nothing on the screen). I powered it down and tried to turn it back on, but same result (backlight on, but no boot up). I finally had to pull the power plug and restart the computer with the power button depressed. This seemed to shake up the computer and get it running again.
My sleep problem, though, is still the same. I'm not sure if these issues are related or not, but looking for some feedback on possible issues...
Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark
+The System Management Controller (SMC) is a chip on the logic board that controls all power functions for your computer. If your computer is experiencing any power issue, resetting the SMC may resolve it. The SMC controls several functions, including:+
+* Telling the computer when to turn on, turn off, sleep, wake, idle, and so forth.+
+* Handling system resets from various commands.+
+* Controlling the fans.+
If you are still having any of the above issues reset the SMC as described in the following article!

New MacPro Sleep Problem

My MacPro is having the sleep problem again after I installed and unstilled Adobe Photoshop Elements 13. It had been working fine for the last few months until the Adobe software. I have worked with 2 Apple advisors and 1 Apple sr. advisor. But they can't seem to address my issue. The problem is that my MacPro cannot enter sleep mode after a preset time.
Can someone please look at the following output from "pmset -g assertions" and advise what I should look into? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
It maybe you'll help me also?
I started research the problem from Address Book Sync. I got this problem on 10.9.5 than I upgraded to 10.10.2 to fix it but with no result.

Dual 2.3 Power Mac G5 sleeping problem

For sometime now my G5 has had a sleeping problem. I use evetv 500 to record tv shows. Most times I have been on the computer say 5 to 6 pm. I'll have it set to record at 7. The G5 will start up and record no problem, but the monitor will not go back to sleep, the whole system is almost locked up . I have found that the computer clock will be stuck at the time I let it sleep. If I move the mouse the clock will update, and the system will sleep.
Thanks for any help
Dual 2.3 G5 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
I've experienced something similar a bit now and then. The most recent occurense of this was just a few minutes ago. Last thursday (june 21st), I set my Mac to record one show at 21.00 and one recording at 18.00 (every weekday on the 18.00 one), both recordings are one hour each. The ordinary "sleep when idle" function doesnt seem to work properly but I still set it at 15 minutes plus a scheduled sleep at 22.08. Now when just I came home the Mac was on though it shouldnt be. iStat in Dashboard gave me these figures:
Uptime 0d 4h 22min, up since 8.35 june 21
The only reaction I got when I tried to check the sleepsettings was a message telling me that the computer was scheduled to go to sleep in 9mins 55sec's and the System Preferences panel just bounced in the dock, every app that I tried to start just bounced in the dock. When I tried to restart it I got a message, after a while, telling me that Eyetv was keeping my Mac from going to sleep and trying to force quit it didn't seem to make much change. I finally turned the Mac off by pressing the powerbutton on the front.
I got the 18.00 recording on thursday but not on friday and no 21.00 recording from thursday. I thought the scheduled sleep would override the other setting...

Sleep problems with a MacBookPro6,2 with OSX 10.6.7

Hi everybody,
I'm yet another pal with sleep problems on my MacBookPro6,2 (Core i5 mid 2010).
After a few hours of activity it refuses to sleep. It just wakes instantly, with the same info on the kernel.log as

I have nothing plugged in my MacBookPro, other than the power cord.
I have tried all the tips I've seen, like resetting the PRAM and the SMC.
I even did a reinstall of the entire OS X (SnowLeopard 10.6.7) although I did recover all my apps and settings from TimeMachine.
It is really annoying and I am beginning to think there is some issue in the USB code within OSX's kernel.
The only thing I can think of I have not tried is not running Firefox, which is always open.
But I don't see how that might interfere with the usb hub on the motherboard issuing a wakeup.
I don't remember ever having this issue on my first generation MacBookPro.
All the info I've found is minimum a few months old, going back to a few years for problems with external hubs.
Does anyone know anything else to try? Is this the best way to make Apple know about the issue?

Solution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
this for the next major release.
As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

MacBook Pro sleep problems with Vista SP1

Has anyone faced sleep problems on a MacBook Pro after installing Vista SP1?
I run Boot Camp 2.0 with the latest update from Apple.
IDT finally issued a compatible Vista driver for my Sigmatel audio.
I was very happy for the first time running Vista on my Apple when I had the stupid idea to upgrade to SP1.
After days of troubleshooting with Windows support it is obvious that SP1 and my MacBook Pro are incompatible for some obscure reasons. The latest time I tried SP1 was through Windows Update, which means that Windows detected no compatibility issues, such as drivers.
I suspect Apple-in-sight driver without any evidence, just a hint.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hibernation seems iffy. Have you tried disabling hibernation? and when you say sleep, what happens? won't wake or what?
Normally I don't recommend resetting NVRAM or SMU but for sleep you might want to.
And yes, trying to rule out why can be difficult. But I would not blame SP1. Maybe BC 2.1.
Do you have a book dealing with Vista? or looked for articles or forums that deal with Vista? There is one for Vista64 - assume you have 32-bit though. Google is often best way to find things in Apple discussions or knowledge base, too.

Firmware version explanation + sleep problem

My 10 days old iMac baby has problems to sleep. It goes to sleep but after 5-6 minutes it's awaken again. I tried everything I found relevant to this problem on this discussion board but no help at all. Mac baby was born with 10.4.8 and now it's at 10.4.10 - combo update, everything else is working perfectly well except this sleeping problem. I
After all, I went on Apple download in order to check if there are some EFI Firmware updates and now I'm more than confused with numbers.'
On Apple's site it's clearly written that the most recent firmware version for my iMac is "IM51.0090.B03 (20-inch late 2006)" http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imacefifirmwareupdate11.html but my System Profiler shows higher number count: "IM51.0090.B08".
From System Profiler:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM51.0090.B08
SMC Version: 1.9f4
Does anybody has any idea about this?
Tnx,
Denis
iMac 20'' (Late 2006) Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2 Gb Crucial DDR2 RAM @ 667 MHZ, WD My Book Premium Edition 250 GB

Others have also found what appears to be a discrepancy in the firmware that System Profiler reports installed on their Mac versus the version reported in Apple Knowledge Base documents. The definitive document for me is Mac OS X: Firmware Updates for Intel-based Macs. This doc confirms the information that you report, so the logical explanation to me is that, although the doc was last updated by Apple on 1 MAY 2007, there has been an update to installed firmware in Macs shipping since the doc was last updated.
But the firmware shouldn't have anything to do with whether your Mac sleeps or not. Sleep is one of the things regulated by the System Management Controller. This can be reset.
But there are many other things that can interrupt the Mac auto-sleeping; external FW/USB peripheral devices, wifi, Bluetooth, etc. Have you added any such devices recently.

Sleeping problem with OS X Lion?

I have a new 15 inch Macbook Pro that shipped with Lion which has recently succumbed to a sleeping problem. When I have the computer plugged in to the wall outlet for charging, and I close the lid, it goes to sleep, but the sleep light stays on solid; it does not blink/fade on and off. Then, under these same circumstances, when I open the lid, I see my login screen for about 1.5 seconds and then the screen goes black. If I click the F1 button to turn the screen brightness down, the login screen returns, and I can login and use the computer as normal with no issues. If I unplug the MagSafe charger and allow the computer to run on its battery, none of these issues occur.
AND all of the Energy Saver preferences are set to the default, and all sharing is disabled.
All help is sincerely appreciated,
Jake

I have the exact same issue! I'm so glad it isn't just me having this problem ..
I also have a 15 inch Macbook Pro with OSX Lion.
I really don't know whether it's a new feature of Lion or a bug.
Sleep mode seems to be disabled while charging ...
If you put the Macbook Pro to sleep with the magsafe adapter plugged in, it won't go to sleep. You can still hear the fans running, and the light won't blink, as you indicated. When you open the lid again, the screen lights up for a few seconds, then turns black. I haven't tried the F1 key, but I do know the screen comes back when you unplug the adapter ...
And it's getting even stranger: when you close the lid with the magsafe adapter plugged in, my MBP won't go to sleep. But when you plug out the adapter while still having the lid closed, my MBP WILL go to sleep. When you plug the adapter back in while sleeping, it will still keep asleep but the battery WON'T charge, although the adapter 's connected (the light is green while it should be orange, since the battery is not fully charged).
None of these issues occur when you put the MBP to sleep without the power adapter connected; it goes to sleep seamlessly.
It seems to me that this could be a bug, but it could also be an extra safety feature of apple ..
Maybe they wanted to protect the battery this way? I hear a lot of people say it's bad to keep for your battery to keep your laptop plugged in all time, although I doubt it.
Someone who knows more about this, or has a fix for this 'bug' ?

Sleeping Problem With ACD 27"

I have a sleeping problem with my 27" ACD that is connected to a 2010 Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. The display is set to sleep after 5 minutes and it appears to be sleeping. The screen goes black but on closer inspection with a flash light, you can still see the login screen or any open window.
Here is a picture of what i'm experiencing http://www.flickr.com/photos/59070359@N04/5411570689/.
Can anyone confirm this problem by trying the steps below?
1.) Have the Apple 27 ACD connected to a 2010 Mac Pro with the latest Mac OS X update(10.6.6).
2.) Go into the Energy Saver and set the Display to sleep at 1 minute and have computer sleep set to never.
3.) Leave the System Preferences window open and wait for the display to sleep.
4.) Once you see that the display is asleep flash a light directly on the screen where you left the System Preferences window open.

I discovered this effect many weeks ago and just thought that's the way the display "sleeps". A possibly simpler way to reproduce the effect is to select a hot corner to put the display to sleep (using the Hot Corners... button in the Desktop & Screen Save preferences). Put the mouse in the selected hot corner to put the display to sleep and then shine the flashlight on the screen. You'll see an "echo" (? - pick a term of your choice) of whatever is on the screen at the time it's put to "sleep".
I don't normally use the hot corners feature since I quickly discovered I would sometimes move the mouse into there inadvertently and it was annoying when the screen blacked out. I don't consider this a "problem" though. After all how many folks shine flashlights at their ACD? I'm not sure what I was thinking to prompt me to ever do it in the first place.
I was once jokingly going to post about never shining flashlight at the ACD simply because you can then see every smudge and smear on the glass It would then start to drive you nuts trying to get 'em all off!
\[Heh, I guess now everyone reading this thread it now pulling out flashlights \]

Intel iMac sleep problem, need help !

My 17" Intel iMac has sleep problem past few days.
I use the Ctrl+Eject on the keyboard to put my iMac to sleep and it only needs 3 to 5 sec before.
But now I use same method, it got 30 sec. to sleep; same result thru Apple menu>sleep.
Used Onyx & repair permissions, still no change.
Anyone know what's the problem, how to fix it?
Plz help!
Thx!

Danlam,
A simple SMC (System Management Controller) reset is known to resolve a lot of sleep/wake related issues.
Here's how to do the reset:
- From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
- Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
- Wait at least 15 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
-Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
- Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.
Follow this link to the Apple Article that describes the SMC and how to reset it in more detail: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303446
Hope this helps you out.

Intermittent Sleep problems on all Windows versions I have tried

Macbook Pro 5,1. Running Bootcamp 2.1. Machine will enter sleep mode successfully a few times (1-4 times) and then suddenly will not. Sleep light glows constantly and opening the lid shows a black screen.
Brightness controls work (can see the screen lightening) and volume keys work (here 'pop' noise increasing and decreasing).
I have tried Windows Vista 32/64 and Windows 7 32/64. I have installed updated drivers for NVidia card, Wireless Card, nForce drivers. I have tried disabling all the Apple services. I have made sure no devices are able to bring the machine out of sleep. I have ensured that the Windows Media Service cannot prevent the machine from going to sleep.
Apple support is (muffled scream) useless. All I get is that this is a Windows problem and not supported. (Why do they say that you can run Windows on the Macbook Pro advertisement then?). I have read a posts from other users with the same problem but none of them have resolutions.
Please help. It's the last step I need to make this thing usable. Can't return it, can't get it fixed. Can't get any help Apple and MS won't touch it. Otherwise, I'll swap this for a Dell of similar speed in a second. Any takers?

Never saw a Macbook Pro;
You Can Google search "Macbook PRO"Windows+sleepfix
Copy paste that into the search & Check various yourself
This one received positive response but seems on the Mac side.
http://www.gcsdblogs.org/roodhouse/?p=746
The fix for this problem can be found in the NETWORK panel of System Preferences. Click on the Ethernet Connection
If this service was already marked INACTIVE simply switch it back to MAKE SERVICE ACTIVE and then hit apply.
If it was already set to active then Click on MAKE SERVICE INACTIVE then hit apply.
Now restart your computer. After the restart go back to this same screen and click on MAKE SERVICE ACTIVE, now make sure to hit apply.
This will fix the sleep problems on a Macbook running 10.5.7. Interestingly it also fixes the sleep problems with a Macbook pro running 10.6 Snow leopard.

Just found that disabling the "wake-on sleep" option of my mouse, network and modem seems to fix the problem.
It may just be that my mouse or some other device tries to wake up the PC while it is going to sleep, and the computer gets all confused.
I've been using hibernate as well from the time I first got my macbook. It's really nice to be able to hibernate, boot into OS X, then shutdown OS X and resume the Windows session without having to go through the whole boot process. It's too bad hibernating OS X forces you to wake up in OS X and you can't choose which OS to resume.
Turning off AirPort usually will allow the MBP to sleep, but not always. In those cases, sometimes I have to try two or three times to put it to sleep -- and for whatever reason, it typically takes 30-60 seconds after disconnecting from the wireless connection before it will sleep. (And, yes, I have already disabled SafeSleep.)
For Windows side,from me: a)check all power settings that refer to sleep/disable, this includes doing it at device/adapter level; if you open network conections from C. Panel, right click active adapter(LocalAreaConn.), select properties,then configure "connect Using" you'll see variable power setting.You can see this variable setting in Device Manager as well.
