IMac G5 & Sleep

My iMac G5 will not go to sleep automatically. This sleep problem started only when I updated to 10.5.6. No trouble at all through Tiger and 10.5.0 through 10.5.5.
I have tried several points made in various other threads on this subject, but nothing worked for me. With all applications closed, the CPU sits at 3 or 4% then every 15 secs jumps briefly to 15%. I assume this activity is what is keeping my Mac awake until I put it sleep from the Apple menu. Activity Monitor shows this extra % is split 50/50 between user & system, but I can't pinpoint this extra activity.
For the time being I have installed PleaseSleep, which is a little force-sleep tool using the Energy Saver settings, but I would like to find a better solution to this problem.
I would appreciate any advice.

Nardac - I have tried resetting the System Management, but it doesn't make any difference. Thanks for your input, anyway.

UPS and our iMac // Will not allow iMac to sleep.

Hello,
We have a Cyberpower UPS (CP685AVR) for our 20" iMac 2.66Ghz (last gen)and it works great. It has a USB interface to communicate with the iMac's power manager, and tells me how much juice is left, how the cells are doing, etc.
The only problem is the UPS will not allow the iMac to sleep; if I try to manually put it to sleep, it will wake again in 10-15sec. If I disconnect the UPS, the iMac works just fine. There are no third-party drivers, either. Cyberpower relies on Apple's built-in UPS support. I've been leaving the USB cable unplugged but would like like to use it if possible.
Has anyone had an issue like this, and what has been your experience? Thanks.

I won't buy Cyberpower anymore since I had one burn up on me so I have not had any experience with their newer models. I have 2 APC's and they work fine with the built in Energy Saver settings.
Are you connecting the USB directly to the back? I'm not sure if it will help but you might try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543?viewlocale=en_US

Sometimes after putting my iMac to sleep, I can't get it to wake up and have to turn it off at the mains. Any ideas why?

Sometimes after putting my iMac to sleep, I cannot get it to wake up again. It's as if it's shut down and I have to turn it off at the mains and restart it. Any ideas why? Does this keep happening to anybody else?

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. Something went wrong. You need to restore the iOS software and then restore from the backup.
Read this carefully and follow the instructions. Make sure that you restore from your backup at the end of the process. That is covered at the bottom of the support article.

Intermittent problem putting my 24" iMac to sleep.

About every tenth time I attempt to put my iMac to sleep it will do the following: The screen dims a bit, the cursor disappears and the clock stops. The machine then becomes totally unresponsive and all I can do is do a forced shutdown.
I thought it might have been the 'safe sleep' function so I disabled it. No change. I cleaned out all the caches, repaired permissions, checked the drive directory, reset the machine (pulling the cord, waiting and then putting back in and starting it up). Then I reset everything there is to reset! No change.
Has anyone had this happen? If so, have you found a solution?

Just to report a resolution to the problem putting my 24" iMac to sleep...
As I said, I put in two fresh 1G DIMMs (Shika brand). The two Kingston DIMMs were found to be defective. The sleep problem seems to be resolved. Also I found that a second problem (Applications suddenly and unexpectedly quitting) seems to have been resolved as well.
Something else I found as well is that the machine runs much faster. Right off the bat, when I ran the Apple Hardware Test, it was completed in 53 seconds. With my previous RAM it took over two minutes to complete.
Conclusion: Even if Utilities such as the Hardware Test and TechTool Pro 4 report no problem with RAM, some of the problems that people are experiencing that appear to be software based may be caused by bad RAM. It might be an idea to download and run Memtest or Rember over a period of a few hours to see if there is a problem. Or if you have access to a supply of RAM, you could swap in new ones and see if the problems go away.

Trouble when waking iMac from sleep?

When I wake my iMac from sleep I get an error message on screen telling me there has been an unexpected shutdown. Any clues as to the solution?

Thanks for the quick replies. When I look in System Diagnostic Reports there is nothing there, plenty in 'all messages. However I did copy the messages sent tp Apple on the last problem which I paste below...

Put iMac to Sleep, Warm in the AM

Before I go to bed each night, I manually put my iMac to Sleep from the Apple menu. Within a few seconds it shuts down and makes no noise (no fans).
Most mornings however, when I awake, I can hear the fans spinning (primarily the hard disk fan using Activity Monitor), and the top of the computer is warm. When these fans come on I cannot tell, but I'm pretty sure the computer doesn't light/wake up, show the desktop on both monitors, and then go back to screen saving mode and then eventually the screens go dark but the fans still run and the computer stays warm (e.g. not sleeping, just the displays are black).
How do I put the computer to sleep at night, so NOTHING runs (no fans) and the computer is cold in the morning?
Thanks.

Nothings happening, tried the mouse, tried the keyboard, nothing. I followed the instructions for resetting the SMC and the only thing I get is the light sound I describbed in my earlier message. The more i listen I don't think it's the cd drive, I feel like that would be a little louder than the sound I hear. What I'm hearing sounds like a light spinning sound almost like the hard drive when yo click the keyboard to wake it up, except it keeps doing it over and over again until I unplug the mac. When I plug it back in, it will not make the sound until I press the power button on the back.

Imac to sleep or shut down ?

Many users like to leave their iMac on sleep position , but I've noticed that the inside FAN still working .
What to decide over night ?
Thanks

I leave my machine on 24/7 and only let the display sleep. When I get "wake" it the temps are typically:
HD                              37

Firewire drives won't spin down when I put iMac to sleep

I have three external hard drives connected to my iMac in a FW800 daisy chain. It used to be, when I put my iMac to sleep, all three of the external drives would spin down and go quiet. I replaced the drive in the middle of the chain with a new one (both LaCie), and now none of the three external drives spin down when my I sleep my iMac.
Does anyone know how to get them to spin down?

It's a known issue for many many brands of FW800 drives. I've been reporting this to apple for a while. With 10.9.2, my particular drives will spin down if they are mounted and unmounted but if my system wakes from sleep which will spin up all drives, they stay that way until I mount and unmount again. So....10.9.2 is a little better but FW is still borked.
This is the primary reason my Mac Pro is still on Mountain LIon. My MBA is on mavericks. A note of caution...Mavericks writes to the NVRAM, sometimes when dual booting it is good to clear that memory.

Can't use mouse/keyboard/trackpad when waking iMac from sleep mode

Basically as the title says. When I wake my iMac from sleep mode I am unable to use my keyboard/trackpad/mouse during the login window. Once the screen goes black by itself, after a minute or so I can then log in properly.
Yes the keyboard/mouse/trackpad are all connected when it wakes from sleep as I can use any of them to wake it from sleep, I just can't move them or type with them in the login window.

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.

Apple keyboard or mouse won't wake up iMac from sleep.

After I put my iMac to sleep the keyboard or mouse won't wake it up. I have to push the power button to awaken it. Wake from sleep is enabled in bluetooth preferences so that is not the problem. Otherwise keyboard and mouse are working fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Regrettably, I can't offer a solution to the problem stated in the title. Instead, I experience the same problem.
Wireless Mighty Mouse circa 2007
Wireless Apple Keyboard circa 2007
Bluetooth dongle (a bluetooth thingy connected to a USB port)
Things worked fine until an upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard. Following the upgrade there were several mouse related issues. Those were resolved. One issue remains: waking by use of mouse or keyboard.
The setup (Same for keyboard and mouse)
System Preferences --- Bluetooth --- Keyboard Connected --- Keyboard Paired. The "Discoverable" box is checked.
Digging deeper
System Preferences --- Bluetooth --- Advanced --- "Allow Bluetooth device to wake this computer" --- This option is unchecked and is greyed out, inaccessible. Two of the other options are checked and available: the options about opening the Bluetooth assistant and the one about prompting incoming audio.
I've searched other posts. However, many of the other posts seem to conflate this Wake/Sleep issue with various connection issues. Thus, the advice given is a bit confusing to this amateur. Might one of you experts have a solution to this annoying little problem?
Thanks for your interest.

IMac wont sleep after 10.6.3 update

I just bought a new 27" iMac i7 on saturday, I barely had time to do anything to the machine before I updated on monday to 10.6.3. The iMac was going to sleep just fine before the update, now when I put the iMac to sleep, it will go to sleep, but after a few minutes it wakes itself up. I've looked at my sys.log, but it doesnt give me any reason for it's wake up.
Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone know of a solution?
The whole point of replacing my MacPro with this iMac was to save a bit on electricity costs. But now that point is moot because I cant put it to sleep! Please help!

HI,
First, try Resetting the PRAM
Restart your iMac. If the problem persists, try Resetting the SMC
Sorry you are experiencing problems with a brand new iMac! If you did not repair disk permissions, do that. Repair permissions after every software update.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Screen freezes up when I wake the iMac from sleep

Hi, all. This is my first post to Apple Discussions, so please pardon me if this is a dumb question. I have had a problem twice in the last 24 hours. I have an iMac G5 that I keep on most of the time. I do put it on sleep mode when I'm not using it. This morning, and then again this evening, I had the iMac on sleep mode. When I woke the computer, the screen came up, as usual, but when I went to click on the Safari icon, the screen became fuzzy and locked up. Powering the unit down was the only way to restart the computer. After that, things worked fine. However, this is a new occurrence. Is it something serious? Is it easily fixable? Is this common with iMacs? Just wondering. In the meantime, I'll probably just use the "shut down" command when the computer is not in use. Thanks for any advice that you can offer.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

TS4209 When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyon

When i wake up my iMac from sleep my wifi is disconnected. It also disconnects my iPad, my wives iPad, my iPhone & Sky On Demand which is connected via wifi. To reconnect all devices i have to switch off & then on again wifi on the iMac. Can anyone help?

Had the same issue and finally solved it. After the upgrade to Mavericks our 2 new Macbook Airs stopped connecting automatically to Wifi while the older machines the kids had still worked fine.
Bought a new airport extreme and problem solved. Our Airport Extreme was about 5 years old and was probably not compatible with the new OSX.
BTW this was after trying everything people suggested on this forum and a 4 hour marathon tech support call with Apple where we reinstalled the OSX.
***** to need to spend $200 but glad the problem got solved.
New extreme is also mega fast so its all good.

USB connection won't allow iMac to sleep

When I put my new iMac to sleep running 10.6.2, either from the Apple menu or the power button, it immediately wakes up.
I've disconnected my Firewire devices and determined that my external SoundStick speakers on a USB port are somehow causing the computer to wake up when I want it to sleep. When I disconnect them, the sleep mode works fine.
I've also noticed, even when the SoundSticks are connected, it takes about 30 seconds for the computer to go to sleep.
Any suggestions how to get around these problems, short of buying new speakers (or a new computer)?
Thanks

I'm embarrassed to tell you this, but my problem was not with either the iMac or the SoundSticks. I had the latter incorrectly plugged into a switched outlet on my surge protector. When the iMac went to sleep it was shutting down the SoundSticks, which apparently sent some sort of signal before switching off that caused the computer to come back on.
Thanks all of you for taking time to respond.

Stop mouse waking iMac from sleep

I have a new Logitech USB mouse I am using with my iMac. The problem now is whenever I put my iMac to sleep its woken up by the mouse.
Is there a way to stop the mouse being able to wake the iMac in Leopard?
Thanks.

In System Preferences, click on Mouse & Keyboard, then Bluetooth and uncheck the "allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer."
