Does your eMac with Leopard have a sleep/wake problem?

My question is,does anyone with an eMac running Leopadd 10.5.8 have a problem waking the compiter after putting it to sleep for an hour? I am having this problem with my eMac after upgrading from Tiger which didn't have this problem. Thanks

Hi, not here...
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: eMac
Model Identifier: PowerMac6,4
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (1.2)
Processor Speed: 1.42 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.2f1
If it did OK in 10.4, then I suspect some 3rd party App or Extension.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

SLEEP/WAKE PROBLEM on my Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Greetings!
I love APPLE. So APPLE, please do try to help me out here...
The first problem I encountered was a faded translucent bluish/grayish rectangular line stretching from top to bottom suddenly showing up. I've shown this to our local APPLE technician and my LCD was replaced. Nice job here APPLE!
Now for the latest problem occurring as I'm writing this post. When I have my laptop fall into sleep, for say at least 5 minutes, and attempt to wake it up.. the user interface doesn't show up. The screen remains black and that pressing any key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse will automatically restart the laptop always (I do hope my internal hard disk won't be damaged from this reoccurring dilemma of mine). I've observed that this current problem started after my LCD was replaced.
Does anybody have the same problem as I have? If so, please do give me possible solutions for this? I've already talked with our local APPLE technician and told me that there might be some problems with the motherboard inside that may opening the laptop might be necessary.
Still... No worries APPLE (as of yet), I still love it even though it's my first time using such a wonderful invention of technology.

Hi. This is Fathom Graphis again.
Reading one of the threads that mentions an individual asking for help from an Apple certified technician with a problem that's quite the same as mine, I followed the instructions given by this Apple technician that there may be an application or some device activated in the "SHARING" folder (under *System Preferences*) that's causing the problem of the laptop not waking up and requiring hard reset to get back to the Mac OSX user interface.
So, I checked my sharing folder and found that my *"PERSONAL WEB SHARING"* option is activated (Under the SERVICES menu). I deactivated (unchecked) it and tested my laptop sleeping function by shifting the PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP arrow to 1 minute and letting the laptop sleep for 10 minutes. After which, I moved the mouse and the MAC OSX User Interface came abruptly and the laptop didn't restart. I tested it again by letting it sleep for another 10 minutes and waking it up through mouse click and the MAC OSX User Interface showed up abruptly and the laptop, again, restarted.
So far, I'm still putting my laptop under observation. But I just want to inform everybody with their supposed respective SLEEP/WAKE problems on their Macbook pros (or Macbooks) that this may solve their issues (though I provide no guarantees, okay? I'm just a common user who happen to find a solution accidentally).
Still I want to address APPLE that certainly, letting your laptop sleep and waking it up and restarting itself after with the Personal Web Sharing activated (or checked under System Preferences > Sharing > Services) is indeed a "bug" that needs to be fixed. So hopefully, the people at APPLE would try to resolve such an issue as soon as possible (because, to my knowledge, sudden restarts of Hard Disks may cause data damages). God Bless You All.

Macbook Pro Retina (late 2013) sleep wake problems under Yosemite

Hi,
Ever since I installed Yosemite on my MBP (details in the screen shot below), I've been getting Sleep Wake problems. At night, I simply close the lid of the laptop, leaving all applications running, and in the morning I wake it up. This worked fine under Mavericks on this laptop, but since Yosemite, every time I open the lid, I've had problems. Initially, I'd open the lid and the machine would restore from what looked like a deep sleep (screen would get an alpha layer on it, and the little progress bar would appear, as though it's waking from the battery running out). I ran Disk Utility, which found and repaired an issue on the disk (can't remember the details, unfortunately), and ever since then, when I open the lid, I have to hit the power button to get the machine going. It restores in about 15 seconds (nice and fast), and it does re-launch all of the applications I had open, but the machine will also show a little system alert, indicating a "Sleep Wake Problem". Each time I see it, I submit the issue to Apple. Because I'm an idiot, I forgot to copy the crash log from this morning, but I'll do that tomorrow and append it to this thread. Meanwhile, if anybody is having a similar experience and can isolate the cause, I'd love to know. A few variables which might matter:
* I have a Thunderbolt external hard drive which I use for Time Machine. Each night, I eject the disk before shutting the laptop down (I bring the machine home with me each night). My laptop used to have issues ejecting external disks, which I traced (thanks to this board) to an issue with attempting to put an external drive to sleep (I think that was the issue). I haven't had any issues since that time.
* The apps I have running all the time are Mail, Safari, Coda (text editor) and VMWare 8, which is running a Windows7 VM. That's been my environment for years now, yet the sleep-wake issue only started since upgrading to Yosemite.
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Ben,
Another sleep issue and adding to your post... My MacBook Pro (2.7ghz early 2011)
Leaving apps open and closing the "lid" and then going to bed... several times thru out the night my MacBook will start to wake up. The optical drive spins up (DVD is in the drive), the hard drive fires up, I think i can see the screen glow ("lid" is still closed). Then it sets itself back to sleep (must detect the closed lid).
Did not do this with Mavericks or other earlier OSs.
I have not begun to try to figure this out... today is the day! lol.

(URGENT) eMac with leopard running FCE 2?

I have an apple eMac running 10.5.8 and i got a great deal on FCE 2.0 i was wondering if this would work on the machine?

Yes, FCE 2 should run fine on an eMac with 10.5.8
If it were me, I'd prefer FCE 3 or 3.5 on your machine but if your deal is for FCE 2, you'll be fine.

Photoshop 7 DOES NOT WORK with Leopard ( OS 10.5 )

If you are not prepared to upgrade your Photoshop 7, DO NOT UPGRADE TO LEOPARD.
Photoshop 7 and OS 10.5.x (Leopard) are not compatible. When Adobe released Photoshop 7 in 2001 as a Universal Binary for OS9 and OSX they had no idea that Apple would be switching to an Intel chip in 2006. As the release of Leopard is also the end of the Classic environment, this may be the reason Photoshop 7 does not work in Leopard.
As of the release of CS4, Photoshop 7 can no longer be used as a path to upgrade Photoshop. A full version has to be bought now. But Photoshop CS or later can still be used as an upgrade to Photoshop CS4.
It is recommended that Photoshop 7 owners still looking to save money on upgrades stay away from eBay, as, unfortunately, much of the software listed is pirated or misrepresented and you will still not be able to upgrade to CS4.

Osascript for remote login does not work with Leopard

We are testing Leopard on one computer in our labs. The only problem so far is that the osascript that we use to remote login to the computers stopped working (although it works fine on the Tiger machines):
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "public"
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke tab
delay 0.5
keystroke return
keystroke return
end tell
EndOfMyScript
This is a public account with no user password. I've read the discussion below, but have not been able to tweak the command so that it works with Leopard. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem - the script below works with my G5 iMacs running 10.4.9 but not the Intel iMacs running 10.4.8. It almost works - the username and password appear in the right boxes, so I run around the room pressing the Return key.
# This script when used with ASR Send UNIX command will login workstations at the LoginWindow.
# The script assumes that the cursor is focused in the Name field.
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "username"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke tab'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "password"'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to delay 0.5'; \
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'

Macbook Air with Yosemite has repeated sleep/wake failures

My Macbook Air continues to have sleep/wake failure when I have closed the lid.

Hello beachloverlarry,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with sleep/wake issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:

HT201412 my ipod is frozen, and displays a white screen. It won't turn off; I've tried restarting with on/off and sleep/wake buttons.. Nothing happens

Our i{POD touch is frozen, and displays a white screen. I can't turn it off, and it is unresponsive when trying the on/off, sleep/wake buttons.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:

If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod sleep/wake problem

Hi There
i bought an2nd gen ipod second hand the lcd was cracked so opened it up to fix it done that then found out the sleep/wake button did not work so bought a new button flex but still did not work.
So i had a good look around and found a split on the wifi flex the bit that connects to the sleep flex so i have replaced the wifi flex to and it charges and starts up fine but the sleep/wake button still does not work.
So could it be any thing else?
thanks

Most likely the problem is with your software. Just turn it on and restore it through iTunes if you haven't done so already. If that doesn't work, all I can say is to wait until the next version of 2.x.x comes out and see if problems persist. If they do, then you should probably call Apple and let them know.

Sleep/Wake problem

My 24" Intel iMac (10.5.6) is asleep and it won't wake up. I have tried another keyboard, in another USB port, and still no response. The sleep light is pulsing, and I quit all apps before putting it to sleep, I have even tried the power button, with no response.

It sounds like you will have to force it to power down. Press and hold the on button for at least ten seconds until the computer shuts down (you will know when). This is better than pulling the power cord as the hard drive has the opportunity to spin down slowly rather than 'braking' suddenly.
Analogy:
Stopping your car with gentle braking as opposed to stopping it with a tree.
Once you have it in a shut-down state there are number of things you can do. I would be inclined to look at the following thread first, as you may be suffering from what seems to be a common freezing issue amongst 10.5.6 upgraders using 24" iMacs:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467276&tstart=0
If this is of no help, then it's the usual bunch of standard fixes (Zap PRam, single-user mode, PMU reset, booting from system disk and running disk repair).
I hope some of this helps... or points you in the right direction anyway.

Could AirPort Extreme be causing my Sleep/Wake problem?

I had not been able to wake my iMac G5 from sleep when touching the keyboard. Apple Genius determined there was no problem with the computer, so suggested I unplug all peripherals to try and isolate cause.
When I unplugged the ethernet cable from the Mac, the problem seemed to be fixed. (All other attachments did not affect problem.) I now have just the modem plugged into the Mac, and will see how the sleep/wake cycle responds.
But I'm wondering, has anyone else had a problem with the Extreme causing a power problem?
Thanks

Never mind above as problem has also occurred with just the modem plugged in. Extreme is not the culprit. Still unclear as to what is causing it.

IPhoto 7.1.1 with Leopard Have Issues With Some Type 1 Postscript Fonts

I was attempting to reprint a photo book created in iPhoto 7.1.1 that worked perfectly in 10.4.11 (Tiger). I had upgraded my G5 Tower Mac last week to Leopard and had run all the updaters—so my OS and associated files were up to date. Upon rendering the document during the checkout process, iPhoto crashed.
After looking around in the forums for answers and finding no satisfactory solution, I did some detective work on my own. After each system/software tweak, I attempted to render the book as a PDF to disk, which is a similar function to when a book is rendered for printing through the iPhoto service.
I reinstalled iLife and ran all the updaters. No luck.
I removed font caches and restarted. No luck.
I replaced some of the Type 1 fonts used in the book. Partial success.
I replaced all the Type 1 fonts in the book with their OpenType counterparts. Bingo. PDF book created flawlessly.
I haven't tried going through the online printing process yet, but it looks like it will be successful.
So my questions are: Is Leopard breaking my old Type 1 fonts?
Is this related to the general Acrobat printing issues others are having?
Anyone else experiencing odd behavior with Type 1 fonts in iPhoto?

Jeffrey:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You've discovered on your own what Apple posted in this KB document: iPhoto: Book orders may get canceled if books contain Type 1 PostScript fonts.
Happy Holidays
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Canon MP830 scanner does not work with Leopard

Hi,
I have a Canon MP830. The printer function works fine but the scanner function does not work anymore since I've installed Leopard. From time to time it seems to work, randomly, ... but most of the time, if I use the MP830 navigator software and try to scan in a batch (from the tray), I get an error message saying "Het scannen is mislukt" (dutch for: Scanning process failed).
I hope that Apple and/or Canon are working on updated drivers because this is quite annoying... Plenty of fancy features in Leopard, but the easy, all-day features don't work
This is maybe not the right place to mention this comment but:
After I've installed iCal, it crashes everytime (randomly) when i click on the details of a calendar item... and generates an error message report... I can imagine I am not the only one who has this problem. Never had this before when using Tiger.
Regards,
F.

Actually, Canon has been providing various updates throughout the month of November. Go to www.canonusa.com, place your cursor over "downloads" and when a drop down menu is presented, click on "consumer." You might have to be patient, the site has been slow lately. Anyway, click on the pull downs in the middle of the page to select your printer. When the next page is presented, select MAC OS X from the pull down menu and you'll see the drivers and updated applications.
Over the weekend, I purchased an MP610. After performing the installation of files from the CD, I then downloaded and installed drivers and applications and the printer seems to work just fine, to include scanning, copying, etc.
Hope this helps,
Jimmy

Does iLife come with Leopard?

I just got leopard upgrade not the real computer. And mine does not have iLife 08'. Mine has the old one version: 1.1.2

gmg7,
iLife is not bundled with OS X. Rather, it comes with every new Mac. Every Mac has a set of "Software Restore" disks that come with it, and the version of iLife current at the time that Mac is sold is installed using those disks.
If one then purchases and installs a newer retail version of OS X- Leopard, for example- the version of iLife that came with the computer can be reinstalled using those original disks.
Of course, newer versions of the iLife suite can also be purchased on their own retail disks.
