IMac G5 - Shuts down on Sleep - Firmware to blame?

For a while now I have been unable to put my iMac to sleep - if I try it just shuts off completely. Hit the power button and you boot as normal. Very frustrating. I have tried downgrading the OS back to 10.4, but no joy. Only external devices are a BT keyboard and a USB mouse. Tried all sorts of things, but still no luck. Could the firmware version be to blame?

IMac G5 shuts down from Sleep mode

My iMac G5, PPC, 10.4.11 goes to sleep when told or scheduled. Clicking the mouse or a key to wake up the system causes it to power down. We have been running 10.4.11 for some time, no system upgrades.
Any thoughts?

I have an early iMac G5 as well. Resetting the SMU is worth trying, but I hope you don't have a hardware problem. Early iMac G5's are notorious for having power supply failures which can lead to SMU/sleep/shutdown issues. Apple provided a [recently-ended|http://www.apple.com/support/imac/repairextensionprogram> 3-year repair extension program for early iMac G5s with power-related problems, and I ended up needing two replacement power supplies and a replacement logic board for mine.
There have been a number of discussions about iMac G5 shutdown issues, including suggestions for replacement hardware components if needed, at the iMac G5 forum here:

Mid-2011 i7. iMac and USB shuts down on sleep

Just got a refurb i7 21" and am loving it. But I was having trouble with it shutting down when going to sleep and therefore not waking from sleep without a full boot up.
After finding this closed thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2258706?start=0&tstart=0), I wanted to confirm that unfortunately even after the Lion 10.7.2 update, some powered USB hubs (for example Newer Tech 7 port powered about 1 year old) still cause the iMac to shut down on sleep.
A new Belkin 7 port powered ("high speed for 2.0 or 1.1 devices") does the trick and now the iMac will wake from sleep properly and not shut down.
Just wanted to pass this on to others who might be having trouble and wondering if their motherboard is fried or something.
Also, if a USB port stops working, do an SMC reset (unplug, hold power button down).

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".

IMac (3.4gHz Intel Core i7) shuts down when sleeps, then won't restart

Just bought a brand new 27" iMac (3.4gHz Intel Core i7) which shuts down when sleeps, then won't restart (ie completely dead).
In order to restart, I have to unplug the power cord from the computer, hold power key down for 10secs, replug in and it then starts up. I returned to the store and they spent a couple days letting it go to sleep etc and overnight and for them it was fine. Woke up no problems. They returned it to me yesterday.
So I set it all up again, left it overnight and this morning it was dead again. So now it leaves me to wonder if it's something I have plugged into it.
I have a new Seagate 3TB external hard drive hooked up using USB3.0. This is plugged directly into the back of the computer.
I also have a powered USB hub plugged into the computer which has regular USB stuff such as printer, graphics tablet and another external hard drive (this one is older LaCie 500gb, and have put it into a new USB 3.0 case as well for the arrival of the new iMac (this had an old firewire hard drive case). However this hard drive is switched off at the case and is not being used.
I believe it could possibly be the Seagate 3TB disk causing this problem, but it works fine during the day while I am using the computer, it's just when I either leave it at lunch time to go to a meeting or walk etc or overnight that I come back and it has shut down....leaving me to believe that it's due to the computer going to sleep.
Has anyone else had a similar problem with a Seagate drive? Today I'm conducting an experiment and heading off for lunch with both hard drives unhooked. If I come back and the computer wakes up from a click of the mouse or keyboard as it should, I will plug in one hard drive at a time and re-test. I will leave the Seagate for last, as I don't think it is the old LaCie disk (which is off).
For reference sake, I also have a NAS running off my network through Airport Extreme etc and have my old iMac hooked up to the network too, but don't believe this is the problem.
Initially I did put in some after market RAM (another 8GB) and though that might be the problem, but I removed and it still reacted the same way (plus store I bought it from again booted up fine and woke up fine at their shop after I had taken RAM out too).
Will keep this post updated with my next test (letting computer sleep without either hard drive in), but keen to hear if anyone has had any similar experiences with Seagate disks/cases and the new iMacs.
Cheers,
Kristin

Hey kristinandmike,
I had a similar problem shortly after I bought my 27" iMac. Here is an excerpt from my discussion:
"As BDAqua suggested, I started the process of elimination by shutting down the externals and just leaving up one of the USB drives and using the computer until time to shut it off. After eliminating 2 of the 3 drives I figured it had to be the last one. That drive is a Seagate GoFlex Desk version that allows different bases with differing connectivity. I had previously used FW800 to connect but had switched to USB3 on the new computer. I went ahead and got a Thunderbolt to FW adaptor cable and switched this drive back to Firewire rather than USB3. So far so good."
For some reason the Seagate I was using didn't agree with the USB3 on the Mac.

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?):

Since I installed Mountain Lion, my iMac has shut down after 15-20 minutes. I have adjusted screen saver, shut down time, and sleep after. Nothing seems to help, any ideas?

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
You are now in a perfect position to do a
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

IMac randomly shuts down

My IMac randomly shuts down. I have the energy saver set for computer to sleep after 1 hour. I have not installed any new software. This problem began about a month ago. I have to use the restart button and always get an error, that the computer shut down unexpectedly. I copied one of the Panic Reports if that will help resolve the problem. I have checked the "maximum temperature" in Console and get no messages and many messagfor "shutdown".

Hi Raydream ,
Try another outlet in another part of the house
Do you use a surge protector? do you have another surge protector to try? Just in case some thing is wrong with the surge protector your using. Also dose any thing else turn off or just the computer.
things you can try:
Make sure your software is up to date:

Verify your firmware is up to date:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237
reset the SMC:

reset NVRAM:

if your still having the issues I would back every thing up and then book an appointment for the closest apple store genius bar.

if there is no apple store near you i'd locate an authorized repair center:

you can also call apple care (1 800 APL CARE)

AirPort Extreme powers down when iMac is shut down

9-month old AirPort Extreme, with two hardwire connections: one to the DSL modem, and one to an iMac. After months of perfect performance and reliability, the AirPort extreme now completely powers down as soon as the iMac is shut down or goes to sleep. It powers back up with the iMac. Logging out the iMac to another user account does not shut down the AE.
Naturally, we checked the electrical supply for all three devices and they are all plugged into a perfectly ordinary surge supressor strip.
We're thinking the AE has a hardware failure...but what kind of bizarre symptom is this that it shuts down when it loses signal from it's only Ethernet client?

This is certainly odd. Have you tried a different port on the AEX?
It may be best to contact Apple about a warranty exchange.

IMac randomly shuts down after Leopard Upgrade

My wife's iMac randomly shuts down since we installed Leopard. It wasn't doing this before the Leopard upgrade.
It takes about 5 mins. of inactivity after the machine enters sleep mode, then it shuts down. We've searched the Discussions but have yet to see an answer to our question. Nothing but an iSight is plugged in to the machine. Any suggestions?

Same problem with random shut downs that get more and more frequent making the computer unusable. Took to Apple Store where they did not recognise the problem - tried replacing RAM then power cable then power supply. Said problem was fixed but started to recur within a short time of using it back home. Used install discs to reinstall the original operating system (Mac OS X 10.5.2) and the problem resolved - on upgrading to Mac OS X 10.5.8 the problem immediately recurred. Have gone back to 10.5.2 now and all seems okay.
Seems strange that there are so many postings about this and Apple Store (Genius staffseem to be unaware of it as a problem).

IMac just shuts down during iDVD build

*4 week old 20 inch iMac just shuts down during iDVD build of a dvd. Its really weird, because it is rendering and encoding and all of a sudden it just shuts down without a know. Then when I turn it back on it ejects the blank dvd out and starts. I had my SuperDrive replaced also like 2 days ago from the apple store. I have pasted the system.log if that helps?*

most likely caused by overheating due to video encoding increasing cpu usage (system freezing and shutdowns is a problem with older intel imacs). monitor your internal temps using an app like istat. temporary workaround is to use an fan control app like imacfancontrol and increase the cpu fan speeds. but this does not actually fix the problem which may arise more periodically as the system gets older.

MacPro shuts down in sleep mode

MACPRO 3.1 2x 2.8 Quad core Intel Xeon 8GB Ram ATI Radeon HD 5770 Mac Cinema HD 23 inch OSX 10.6.8.
If I allow or select sleep mode through either keyboard shortcuts or apple menu it immediately shuts down I can keep it running but half asleep (screen at rest ) if I have an app using the internet for example Safari using radio stations ; if however there is no app using the internet then the computer will shut down when sleep mode kicks in.
This seems to be a resent phenomena I have changed the graphics card from a Nvidia since the Nvidia was dying ( occasional freezes and wavy faint blue horizontal lines) although the sleep problem surfaced before swapping cards; I am not sure whether this is a hardware issue or a combined software hardware issue.
Anyone else having similar sleep problems ?
The computer is working fine apart from this one issue.
We are in the midst of summer here so the room temperature is an average of 30˚C at the moment can this have anything to do with the sleep issues?

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans justify an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC for Mac Pro, Intel-based iMac, Intel-based Mac mini, or Intel-based Xserve
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

My Imac wont shut down and other questions

Hello All
I was wondering i you could help me with a few question i have on my imac. (A OS convert after 29 years)
1) When I select log out or shutdown the machine just hangs at the blue screen with the wheel icon turning. In the end I have to shutdown manually.
2) I have 2 accounts, Mine and my my wifes. I have .mac and installed backup. how do i backup me and my wifes files as I do not have rights to her user area even though I am an administrator.
3) where do i find what my procare number is. Is this different from Applecare?
Thank you all for your help

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Congrats on the new Mac.
I see that you have upgraded your OS as well as probably the Apple apps that came with your new Mac. An important step after updating/upgrading the Mac OS and Apple apps is to Repair Permissions on your startup drive. Go to Apps/Utilities/Disk Utility. Highlight your Startup drive in the lefthand list and in the First Aid pane press Repair Permissions. Repair Permissions until no more repairs are reported.
The SMC controls issues on your Mac like startup, shut down and sleeping. The SMC occasionally may need to be reset.

I believe that separate user accounts require separate .mac accounts. Two users can't sync to the same account without overwritting each other. Family accounts are available with a Master and sub accounts.
Lastly, here is a good website to learn about regular maintenance for your Mac, as well as troubleshooting issues;

Mac shuts down in sleep mode.

This just started to happen to my mac pro quad intel running the latest SNOW software. My mac shuts down in sleep mode. I tried to zap pram, but it ill not allow me to do this.
I also check the internal battery using a small program and its a full charge. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Tony

godlovestodance,
your Mid 2012 needs 1600 MHz memory modules. Is your currently installed RAM of this variety?
In your current setup, is it your 1 TB HDD or your 256 GB SSD that is in the optical drive bay?
One thing you can try is this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still crash because of an extended sleep?

How to track down an app that is preventing my iMac from shutting down

Hello! I lately discovered that an application is preventing my iMac from shutting down . I have The Sims 3 installed on my computer but i don't think it's preventing my computer from shutting down.
So my question is, how can I find out what app is preventing my iMac from shutting down.

What's Keeping Me?

Or open Terminal in Utilities and copy/paste this in. Then hit enter.
