IMac G5 shuts down instead of going to sleep

Recently, my G5 iMac started shutting down instead of going to sleep. I have reset all of the sleep controls but it still shuts down. Does anyone have any ideas? I am running 10.5.5

Have you vacuumed the fans and the air vents? You can also reset the [SMU|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300908] and check in Console>system log for any messages about "maximum temperature exceeded for 30 seconds".

  • My macbook air shuts down instead of going to sleep.

    My MacBook Air running OSX 10.7.5 shuts down rather than going to sleep when left unused for a short period.
    I notice this started about 3 or 4 days ago.
    It doesn't matter if it is connected to the power supply or running from battery.
    I haven't made any changes to system preferences.
    Any Ideas.
    It did a similar thing when I first got it and it had to back to Apple to have most of it's innards replaced under warranty.
    Regards,
    Joe

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Late 2012 Mac mini with OSX 10.8.2 has started shutting down instead of going into sleep mode.

    Sometime in the last week or so my mac mini has started going into full shut down instead of sleep mode.
    I have tried checking and unchecking energy saver boxes but haven't found anything which will get me back to where I used to be - and I haven't knowingly changed anything to make this happen.- maybe an OS update caused it?
    The machine will fire up with a tablet click rather than needing the reset button to be pushed so clearly the machine is sort of halfway between sleep and full 'off'. Most frustrating as one of the key issues for me in getting this my first mac was its easy sleep and super quick fire up compared to windows.
    Any help appreciated
    Oh yes  I just remembered that I did just install 2 8gb of crucial RAM (to replace the supplied 2 2gb but surely that can't have anything to do with it - can it)?

    Adding to my first post I can now advise that when the mac goes into sleep mode the light on the front stays on (it does not pulse so clearly it is not really sleeping).
    When i click the tablet / keyboard this is actually what triggers the mac to reboot
    I have tried resetting the SMC as per the following link to no avail

  • MacBook Pro C2D shuts down instead of going to sleep (on battery power)

    dear macusers,
    it happended the first time 2 days ago, today again: while my MacBook Pro is inactive on battery power the screen dims, then turns black like usually, but then it doesn't go to sleep, instead it shuts down. I have 10.4.8 installed, i didn't do the summertime update. I took a look at the log files (/var/log) but couldn't find something strange. Never had a problem using my machine...
    anybody has the same issue?
    sorry for my bad english!
    john

    When that happened to me a couple months ago with my Powerbook G4 it happened to be the battery itself. I did the apple battery exchange since there was a recall on my battery. I use my notebook primarily as a desktop replacement and hadn't noticed the problem until months later when I unplugged the notebook, seconds later the notebook would shutdown and even reset the system clock.
    Applecare couldn't figure it out so I went to my friends house and swapped batteries to test and sure enough, when I put my battery into his computer, it shut his down and reset his clock.
    Check the battery.

  • Computer shuts down instead of going to sleep (no battery)

    Hi, I've checked some of the posts and notice that there are power management issues to these macs. I just picked up a used one and with no battery installed, if I go to Apple-sleep, the coomputer will shut off instead of sleeping. If in the energy settings, the computer is set to sleep at a given time, the computer will do a hard shutdown. I have it set to never sleep for now, but would like some guidance from the forum on how to deal with this power issue.
    any ideas, thanks
    Lisa

    I've been having this problem for the last 4 months. I called Apple today and let them know about my MacBook which is only 1 year old. I've installed the battery update, reset the SMC and calibrated the battery, yet always when I reach about 45% my MacBook shuts down; I've never once ever had a low level warning.
    Well, Apple asked for the serial # on the battery and then they told me that that serial # was not affected and that the Battery Update program is only for Apple Care customers. I told them their web site says nothing to the effect - they said regardless that I'll have to buy a new battery and I could not be helped; I'm not sure who to complain to since from what I have read, the problems I've had with my battery and the time period I bought the MacBook (directly from Apple) all point to the battery issue. I need someone to give some advice on who to call.
    Here is the site i went to and the phone number I called is from there:

  • My iPad 3 shuts down instead of going to sleep...

    My iPad 3 has the latest software update -- I'm using WIFI and have cellular turned off.
    Normally after using it, I close it and it goes to sleep, when I open I just hit the home button to turn it back on.  Over the last few days, after using it, and leaving it for a while, I open it and its completely shut down and the only way to get it back on is to reset it with the power button and the home button held down till the apple show up...
    any suggestions ?

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset   >  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Restoring  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    1)  Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer
    iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
    2)  Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...

  • Macbook shuts down instead of going to sleep

    Since installing Lion, my 2008 white Macbook does not go to sleep either automatically after the preset time (15 minutes) or when I close the lid. Instead it completely shuts down and has to be restarted with the power button. This happens regardless of whether on battery or plugged in to power.
    It seems to take much longer to boot up -- about 2 min. 45 sec.-- than it did with Snow Leopard. Login seems to lag several seconds after entering password. Any ideas?
    (edit to add: I recently replaced the battery and upgraded the RAM to 4GB.

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • IMac is shutting down when it attempts to sleep with 'hibernate image' error

    Our iMac is shutting down when it attempts to sleep.  This started following a Yosemite security update, though of course it is difficult to determine for sure that that was the cause.
    In the console, the following message occurs before every shut down:
    kernel[0]: Failed to get hibernate image filename
    Suggestions?  Does someone perhaps know what exactly the hibernate image is (we have a tiled screensaver that shows an iPhoto album -- could it be that one of those files is corrupt?) so that I can attempt to change it to see if that fixes the problem?
    Thanks!
    System:  iMac  (21.5-inch, Mid 2011), OS X 10.10.2
    Already tried:
    I reset the SMC by following Apple's instructions for this computer (turn off, unplug, wait, replug, wait, turn on)

    More information:
    1. It looks like the crash/shut down is happening when the display tries to sleep (timing is 15 min after the beginning of automatic sleep).
    2. When sleep is first initiated, I am seeing this in the console (not normal?):

  • Should G5 shut down when it goes to sleep?

    I bought this G5 on eBay for a song (and I've been singing ever since) .  It came without a disk, no accesss to the password and they had taken the Airport Card out.  (Specks say it comes with the APCard)  Serves me right I guess.  Anyhow,  It has always shut down right after it goes to sleep.  Is there anything I can do to stop this?  I work between two computers and sometimes I don't get right back to it.  Restarting all the time is a real annoyance.

    OK, the answer to the main question is "no" it shouldn't shut down when it goes to sleep.  I would first open the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences and make sure that you have the machine set to never go to sleep.  Here is a Tiger screen shot of that panel:
    That should solve your immediate problem.  The particular settings work very well for me, allowing me to put the computer to sleep from the Apple menu when I am not going to be using it for a while.  You might also want to take a look at the "Schedule,,," area in the energy saver panel, as in this picture, to see that nothing is selected there.
    Now, if the machine actually shuts down when you command it to sleep, then there are other issues we can work on.

  • After installing Mac OS 10.5.8 my 2005 iMac G5 shuts down instead of sleeping

    After install of OS 10.5.8 my iMac G5 - 2005 model, no Intel processor - whenever I choose sleep from the Apple menu or the time-out goes to sleep mode the computer shuts down instead of sleeping. Any insight would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Try using Disk Utility t repair your disk
       1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then reboot and repair permissions from your internal drive.

  • IMac G5 shuts down instead of sleeping

    Just recently (after install of 10.4.9 and latest security update), computer shuts down when I try to "sleep" it. This occurs from the "Apple Menu", the "Welcome Screen" and the power button (when assigned this function from the preferences). This problem originally started as rebooting when trying to "sleep" it.
    It also has the annoying condition that when powering it up after an "uncommanded" shutdown (or any shutdown for that matter), it has dropped the connection to my router as if the ethernet card(?) is no longer operational. However, restarting from my account usually reconnects to the router.
    I have tried the following;
    1. Repairing permissions, disconnecting everything from the computer, and waiting a minute or two before rebooting.
    2. The above procedure including repairing permissions after reboot and before trying to sleep it.
    None of this has helped.
    Other than this the computer seems to be operating normally.
    But I would like to be able to put it to sleep rather than let it run all the time or go thru the process of restaring after powering up to regain my internet connection.
    Any suggestions/recommendations?
    iMac G5 17" 1.8ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks for the response. I checked my serial number and it does fall within the range for the repair extension. However, it is not exhibiting the symptoms ( no video, no power and scrambled or distorted video) for which the repair is authorized.
    On the other hand, I have discovered that the computer is treating the sleep command ( no matter how it is initiated) as a power failure. I know this because if the check box "Restart after power failure" is checked it restarts after the sleep command ( I set it up to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity with the box checked. At the set time it acted as if it would go to sleep but restarted. Several cycles in a row ). If it is unchecked it simply shuts down. Interesting.
    It looks like a call to Apple is next.

  • My imac os 10.7.5 will not shut down- it just goes to sleep

  • G5 iMac sometimes shuts down instead of sleeping

    I’ve recently started having a problem with my G5 iMac whereby it shuts down by itself after a while instead of sleeping.
    Basically, I start up a task that might take awhile, such as burning photos to a DVD for backups, or updating an Aperture vault, and I go away for a while. I come back later, and sometimes I find that my iMac is sleeping as expected, and other times I find that it has shut itself down. It appears to complete the task before it shuts down. I’ve checked all of the preferences and can’t find any that tell it to shut down.
    I’ve also checked the lists of G5 iMac that are affected by the known power supply capacitor issue, but mine is not in the list of affected units
    I’ve searched the forums here, and I haven’t seen any other reports of this happening to anybody else.
    Any ideas on what is happening?
    PS: I’ve also been having occasional issues with unmounting external WD (Western Digital) FW drives lately too. I dismount the drive from the desktop, and the icon disappears as normal. I then power the drive down, but sometimes it will warn me that the drive was improperly removed and that data could be lost. This is odd since the drive icon was no longer on the desktop, so the drive appeared to be dismounted. This has happened with several different WD FW drives. The only thing I’ve noticed is that this doesn’t happen if the external drive appears to go to sleep after dismount. Sometimes, the drive appears to be active (even though the icon has disappeared). Again, any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Do your fans get very noisy before a shutdown?
    Not before a normal shutdown. And since I'm never around when it shuts down by itself, I can't say for now.

    I think I have around 165 GB or so of free space on the internal drive, so that should be OK. I didn't know about the thermal paste.

    I'm trying to keep my backups up to date, and I figured that it may need to go in. At some point, I would like to get a new computer, either a new 24" iMac, or a Mac Pro with a 30" monitor. I was hoping to get the new one before I'd need to send this one in for repair, but I might not be able to wait. This iMac is about 3.5 years old, so my Apple Care has expired.
    It is odd that it always seems to complete the task at hand before the shutdown. If it was purely due to hardware, it should be more random than that, and not wait for the task to complete. I was starting to wonder if there is some sort of bug in the latest version of Leopard. I didn't have this happen before I upgraded to 10.5.6, but maybe that just a coincidence.
    Thanks again for you help.

  • Imac shuts down when it goes to sleep and has to be restarted

    if my computer falls into sleep mode it automatically shuts down and i have to hold power to start up.  When it restarts it says it was a kernel panic.  I have tested all the hardware with the tools disk and all systems passed.  I am running Lion.
