Does anyone have a PPC mini that goes to sleep based on the timer?

Problem is that my mini won't go into sleep mode per the set minutes on the system preferences energy pane. I've searched and read the other posts on this.
Configuration is PPC mini, Apple USB keyboard, Microsoft intellimouse, and Eizo CRT display. No bluetooth or other hardware. Latest Microsoft mac mouse driver (had same issue without current Microsoft driver). Hardware test doesn't show any problems, and there's nothing to indicate any hardware issues. Latest OS X update was done with the combo updater. Have reset the power management unit (PMU). Have not called Apple yet.
With the sleep settings set on the energy saver pane, I've tried detaching the keyboard and mouse, together and individually, and that didn't change anything. What happens is that the display will shut off at the appointed time, however, the mini won't enter itself into sleep mode. I can manually put it to sleep by clicking blue apple, sleep or by pushing the power button.
I'm scratching my head on this.....so I don't take it personally, does anyone have a mini that does go into sleep as scheduled? Appreciate any suggestions on anything else to look at.

Doug,
I had already started along that path, by removing the Microsoft mouse driver (which didn't fix the problem). However, starting the system in safe mode was a good baseline, as it went to sleep as it should - confirming a software-related issue.
I figured it would actually be easiest to shoot this bug by starting from scratch with an erase and install. After each tweak (ie, turn firewall on), software add (ie, clamXav), or update to the system, I tested it's sleep ability. And I found the bug/issue.....checking 'enable firewall logging' under the advanced options on the firewall tab, in the sharing preferences pane. No kidding. Stealth mode and UDP can be checked, just not firewall logging. Dunno why, however, the world is now at peace, able to sleep as needed.

  • Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007) with wifi that works?

    Does anyone have a Mac Mini (MID-2007 C2D) which wifi works?
    It seems that Mac Mini has different models and some have a Broadcom Wifi card and some Atheros WIFI card. I'm trying to find user whom Mac Mini 2007 with atheros card works. Since os x 10.6 and 10.7 my wifi have not worked at all. I even changed internal antenna. Also attached external antenna on WIFI cards ext port. Still very poor connection. Also sometimes when my mac wakes from sleep country code of WIFI card is US not FI as rest of my family macs. WIFI is made with apple extreme router (802.11n). 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks. I do not have network interference. With Minimac Atheros card has support b and g network with 2.4 Ghz and a network with 5 ghz. Signal ratio is average -80 dbm, and speed varies from 6-36. Both a and g networks work same way on minimac. When I turn machin on wifi is usable about 1-2 minutes then latency will rice and after that timeout will occur on network. Still mac mini is connected to network.
    Atheros firmware is: 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Card: Airport Extreme (0x168c, 0,86)
    Location: ETSI
    Country: FI
    Security: NONE
    PHY: 802.11a
    There are a lot of guides on net how to get it working; eg. change older OS kext, remove preferences, install os again (done all that, nothing works, but older kext files seem to work little better). But does any one have a Mac Mini with working wifi. What brand is your router and is the card in minimac original Atheros. Broadcom seems to operate Apple Extreme router quite well.

    My Mac Mini Mid 2007 has the same specs:
    Card: AirPort Extreme (0x168c, 0x86
    Firmware: Atheros 5424: 2.1.14.9
    Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.2, my WiFi has been running painfully slowly. Same issue: it works okay for a minute or two, but then slows to a crawl, with network timeouts, etc. And it shows I'm still connected to the network. It gets particularly bad when waking from sleep, unless I quit my web browser first, then put the machine to sleep. (Waking the machine with browser still "launched" causes big problems.)
    Has anyone figured out a workaround for this issue?

  • Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file

    Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file?

    I quite hate it when I receive the incorrect amount of yoctocandela per metre squared. Swarthy people
    can't properly convert poundal feet to barleycorn; throws off the whole conversion! Aaah, you get what
    you paid for.I recognize those figures; you've got your outsourced file sizes from Zanzibar; admit it! I always apply
    the scientific approach when I've got file sizes back from Zanzibar: I simply divide those numbers by
    pi (very scientific) and drop the eleven (ueber scientific, because 11 is prime even when looked upon
    as a binary number) least significant bits. And remember: never compare two floating point numbers
    for equality. (<--- that's a free tip)

  • I have a 2011 mini that won't power up. The apple on screen comes onn then turns into a circle with a line in it. Any way to fix it?

    I have a 2011 mini that won't power up. The apple on screen comes onn then turns into a circle with a line in it. Any way to fix it? It is running Mavericks on a 1T drive.

    First thing, see if it will boot into the Recovery Partition: Hold down Command R at restart.
    If it boots up there, then it's likely that the hard drive has failed, or simply doesn't have a working system.
    If it doesn't boot up there, then it's likely to be some other part of the hardware.
    If it is the hard drive, then this can be replaced. You can find videos showing you how to do this on sites like ifixit.com.
    Then you can just restore all your data from your backup. You do have a backup, right?

  • Does anyone have a black N82 that's working fine?

    I'm deciding on buying a black N82 soon, but I'm still deciding if I would rather prefer the Bold 9000 over the N82. I was just wondering after seeing all these topics about problems with N82, black, that does anyone have one that's been working fine for a while now?
    Thanks.
    Edit: Also, I was wondering after reading some reviews about the N82, are the cases all plastic? And if so, are they good quality? Meaning do they feel sturdy and not cheap?
    What are the pros and cons about the N82, and after listing them and experiencing them, would you still recommend this as a buy?
    And I've also heard that this phone doesn't support US 3G, is this true?
    Thanks again.
    Message Edited by drewhy on 25-Aug-2008 07:16 PM

    I work in telecommunications, so I often get to test the different stuff that is on the market, and I picked the N82 because it was proving to be the most stable and reliable of Nokia's smartphones. Nokia has the most extensive range of any of the big manufacturers, and whatever you may read against Nokia from some less-experienced users on this forum, reliability and updates are no picnic on other companies' smartphones (and here it is important to distinguish between a normal GSM phone and a smartphone - the latter has a limited OS that runs preinstalled apps plus a few JAVA apps; whereas a smartphone is much closer to a computer than a mere phone.
    Aside from the basics of making and receiving calls and messages, I use a lot the camera, music/video players, mobile internet and sat-nav.
    I have taken some fantastic photos with the camera, ignore the 5MP - this is just a technicality, most cameraphones can't begin to compete with a standard digital camera of similar specs. I have found the picture quality of this phone sharp with excellent colour quality, even in poor light which is one area where most cameraphones (inlcuding my old SE K800i) fall down. One downside is that the shutter speed is slow in most modes - I have some brilliant shots of the Red Arrows' smoke trails from the recent Sanicole airshow at Hechtel, but the planes themselves proved pretty elusive, so is lacks a bit when taking action shots.
    The video quality of the camera is also good, it produces excellent VGA-quality video (which is good enough to watch through the TV with the provided cable), though sound reproduction could perhaps be a little better.
    The phone plays MP4 movies vey well, and music playback is also good - the sound from the stereo speakers is reasonable for such a device, and the headphones produce good sound (there are lots of people moaning with all modern phones that volume levels are not high enough, but in twenty years time they'll be thanking today's phones for not deafening them). The only catch is that the music player isn't always very versatile to use. I have a language course CD copied onto my memory card which I tend to access through File Manager. Having said that, I have yet to encounter any phone with a really good music player; they are designed to play music whilst you're mobile, they don't seem to imagine that you might be on a work break, in a hotel or just relaxing in in the garden and so be in a position to take more personal control over your music.
    The internet is brilliant, as the phone has a good inbuilt WLAN system. I live in Belgium, where the mobile internet is expensive, so I rely on being able to use my home or work WLAN or hotspots out in the town. Unlike most mobiles, S60 smartphones have a proper web browser that can view web sites almost as a PC would (allowing, of course for the smaller screen size), and it is much better than the Microsoft Mobile Internet Explorer that I've used in some PDAs and other branded smartphones. The only real snag (which is common in the breed) is that you can't update things like Flash so if a new version comes out, you have to wait for a full software update to the phone and hope it contains this updated feature.
    Another thing I use more and more in preference to the old system I have is the Nokia Maps sat-nav system, even N82s sold with the latest software (v20) come with the old 1.2 version, but update it to 2.0 and it is maturing into a nice package. The only real snag here is the size of the screen, though it did let me down last week on the way home from Antwerp when I left the road due to roadworks and I had to pull up in a service area and restart the app to make it recalculate the route. Only one problem in four months, though, I can forgive that.
    I handle phones of different types all day at work, and I definitely don't regret buying this one.

  • Does ANYONE have a Droid 2 that actually works?

    I am on my fifth Droid in 6 months and every one has had some core functionality problem: charging, speaker turning off, mute won't turn off, won't answer calls, etc.  My original worked fine until just after the 30 days was up, after which they will only replace with a refurbished model - someone else's returned merchandise.  As the problem I'm currently having is that same that my original phone had, I'm wondering if I got the same one back. 
    Speaking with the few droid owners I know, not one is completely happy with their phone.  This leads me to wonder just how many people actually like it.  I don't know if the problem lies with Motorola or with Verizon or both.
    With such inadequate responsiveness from the Verizon organization, I can't wait until my contract runs out so I can switch vendors.

    9 times out of 10 its the DRIVER not the CAR. If youre on your 6th replacement its something you are not getting because if these devices are horrible as you state there would be millions being sent back. They aren't though. I agree motoblur is not the best icing on the cake but you must educate yourself and be patient. These phones are like computers. EVERYONE configuration is different more than half the time bcz everyone installs different apps. 
    Just as much as a customer dislikes the company that sold them the device the company dislikes the customers that know nothing about their device. This is true whether its phones, computers or cars.
    You don't get your same phone back, you obviously can tell with the s/n & esn/device ID. (you are letting out your frustration at this point and I understand)
    Whether its a brand new phone or a certified like new phone, its how you use it, and if you are doing the same things to these phones then you are going to have the same problems. I understand it may not be the same exact problem but you get my point none the less.
    Here are some tips
    Always start from scratch aka master reset. Monitor the phone BEFORE you enter in your Google account info. At least for an hour to see if it works or as like you say, check to see if there is a HARDWARE problem, speaker/mic bcz those arent SW issues. I see your point if you must keep replacing for hardware issues.
    Once you login to your google account...IF all your apps come back , here comes your problem back, this is bad, always stagger the installation of apps otherwise you dont know whats causing the problem
    Are you using a task killer and killing lots of apps??? WHY?!?!?! here is your problem... let me ask you, why are you using a task killer??? to save battery? to free memory? bcz the verizon guy told me to? DONT. It doesnt save you battery, sure it frees memory but who said you have a memory problem?? it hurts more than it helps. plus youre no expert like me so how do you know what to kill if i hesitate myself. DONT USE A TASK KILLER unless you have an ERIS or ALLY and you know what youre doing. EG. you killed you microphone app, you killed you dsp, now you have sound problems...
    Non responsive touch screens esp during calls is typically caused by 3rd  party apps not made for you phone or screen.
    Use safe mode to determine if its a 3rd party app. If you dont know what it is then you dont know how to use your phone. You can ask or look it up but it will determine if its your phone or an app.
    I hope these tips help you!!! I wish you a better experience... these phones really are amazing!

  • Does anyone have a wallet case that can also act like a kickstand? Supports amazon prime? Any recommendations?

    If anyone has a good case let me know! Thanks for your recommendation!

    I don't know the brand, but I have a hard case that I got from a kiosk that has a kickstand on the back.  It was cheap, but has protected the phone so far.  Sorry I don't have a brand, but just check the mall kiosks.  The one I have has a had case that snaps together around the phone, and a soft case that fits around that.  There's a cut out in the plastic case for the hard case kickstand to go through.  I use it every night, and it works perfect.  I wanted an Otterbox, but no one seemed to have them.  Hope this helps.

  • Does anyone have a bluetooth receiver that works with iPod Hi-Fi?

    I'm hoping to make my iPod Hi-Fi Bluetooth compatable. I purchased one and it didn't work.
    Any suggestions?

    I wear hearing aids and use the iphone 5 to control them.  it does not have a 30 pin but the newer smaller usb.  So far I have not been able to find some kind of receiver that will transmit or input audio back into the iphone.   There are guitar applications, but nothing for "line in" of mp3 shuffle type audio.  my riding instructor has an fm unit and students simply wear earphones.  Because of my hearing loss and the bulky "behind the ear" aids, I cannot do that.  My phone plays its music and phone calls directly into my aids, much like phones do for "jawbone" type hands free.  But I need an auxiliary input to feed my instructor's voice into my aids.  Any suggestions, that won't cost an additional $100+?

  • Does anyone have Experience talking to a WAGO Ethernet Fieldbus copler using the Open modbus/TCP protocol and LabView ?

    I have an Ethernet Fieldbus Copler of WAGO which supports the OpenModbus/TCP Protocoll, and I want to talk to it over LabView. Does anyone know how to do this or even has example VI's or Librarys ?

    Wago and National Instruments have worked together to test and develop an application note showing the use of the National Instruments Modbus driver with LabVIEW and the Wago Ethernet Coupler. I have attached the preliminary applications note (which is in final technical review here at NI). You can purchase the National Instruments Modbus driver by ordering the Industrial Automation Servers, part 777616-01. The USA price is $995. It should save you quite a bit of time in working with the Wago device and any other industrial controller or modbus device you might work with in the future.

  • Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi
    I give up.  I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion.  My mail is not being deleted.  Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
    My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion. 
    Any recommendations?

    I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to.  So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
    Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
    AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari!  That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!
