Keep freezing up when put to sleep, will not wake up. iMac G5, system 10.5.8, help. What version of Flash do I need?

Probably the intermittent problem that effects some users (including me at various times). It seems that Bluetooth fails to wake properly. The 'fix' that works for me is to go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

IMac G5 - Deep sleep - Will not wake up + Fans rev-up.

iMac G5 ( not under any recall programs and no bloated capacitors )
will not come out of deep sleep and the fans start to rev up after 1 min and
stay revved up on hi.
Tried all possible solutions:
Via keyboard : Reset pram + Open firmware
Reset SMU via power cord and the internal smu button.
Sleep light firmware is installed
Reinstalled 10.4.0 and went to 10.4.7
Tried to scare him with a glass of water, still nothing.
With iStat all temps a cool.
External fan on the PSU to keep it cooler.
Forced the iMac to have the fans on hi by booting in single user mode.
Rebooted. Fans still on hi. logged on then let it go to sleep on its own.
Monitor set at 1 min and HD at 5.
Monitor went to sleep but not the HD.
Forced deep sleep and it worked.
But Same symptoms on wakeup.
Removed the cover:
From a cold power up to video display all 3 led's light up.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301283
Deep sleep:
Leds 1 and 2 stay on, led 3 shuts off, normal .
Wake from sleep:
Led 1 and 2 are still on.
Led 3 lights up for a fraction of a second and does not come back on.
Checks the disk drive then spins down ( when a disk is present )
Checks the HD then spins down.
1 min later the fans start revving on hi.
Force reboot is required.
Symptoms started after 10.4.8 update. ( Yes I know about unsanity docks )
Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. I wait until that fat lady sings.
Please keep this post to the specific symptoms and to PPC G5 imacs.
Has any one ( iMacs G5) with these symptoms been cured?.
How can you uninstall the sleep light firmware patch to reinstall it?
I know that it stops the fans from revving.
Any known Open firmware manual?
PM B&W G4 1Ghz Sonnet :: And still strong Mac OS X (10.3.9) If it aint broke, tweak it. If it breaks then fix it and tweak it again.

If your Mac happily goes to sleep but won't wake up--Hold down the power switch to force-reboot your machine and get it running again.
Don't worry-your Mac isn't narcoleptic. Its Open Firmware system or NVRAM (nonvolatile RAM) is likely corrupt, and your Mac can't remember how to wake up.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Command-Option-O-F key combo until you see a somewhat intimidating command-line display that ends with the Open Fimware prompt. Type the following line:
reset-nvram
press the return key on your keyboard
set-defaults
press return
reset-all
press return
Your Mac will reboot. Once it's running, put it back to sleep to test. If the problem recurs your Energy Saver preferences may be the culprit. Delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist file (go to Finder/Hard drive/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)--don't worry, your Mac will regenerate a new one--and then restart to see if that rights the wrong.
Still didn't work? Might be time to call AppleCare or see an Apple Genius or a technician.
Cheers!

HT3887 My bluetooth devices will not wake my iMac from sleep mode.

My iMac will not awake using the bluetooth keyboard or mouse. I can use a USB mouse but bluetooth and network connection will not respond. I must restart the machine. This happens after several hours of being in sleep mode like all day when at work or over night. I have the system set to wake the computer with a keyboard or mouse click. THis works only when in sleep mode for an hour or two.

Hi 33bubbles,

Power Mac g4 freezes up when put in sleep mode

Hello. So the machine has had a lot of changes but the problem just started a couple days ago, before that I was going into sleep mode just fine with no problems. The problem is when the computer goes to sleep it freezes, the screen goes black but the fan and hard drive are still going and the light never turns to the flashing amber. What's more I'm unable to wake it up or use the keyboard restart command. The only way to restart or shutdown are the buttons on the tower. So I've turned power saver off and now have just resorted to shutting down when it's not in use but that's pretty bad in the long run.
Any ideas on what may have started causing this? Like I said it's beem working perfectly for a while now.

Did you install a USB 2.0 PCI card and do you leave bus-powered devices connected to it, when the computer goes into sleep mode? There have been many reported sleep issues associated with USB 2.0 cards in the G4s. What name is printed on the main controller chip (sometimes it's hidden by the card manufacturer's label)? The consensus of opinion is that USB 2.0 cards with an NEC chip tend to have fewer problems. Additionally, it's a good practice to disconnect the bus-powered devices from the card, prior to letting the computer go into sleep mode.

P55T-A5116 when it automatically goes to sleep it will not wake up without a hard reboot

When I allow my computer to go to sleep and it stays in sleep mode for about 15 min, it will not wake up unless you do a hard reboot. The power button stays solid illumination of white and the screen is black, even when I make the settings for any keyboard stroke to wake it up. I updated the driver for the display, but that did not work. I've looked at all the postings in the forum, but doesn't seem to have a solution.
The odd thing is that if I manually put the computer to sleep, the power indicator blinks like it should in sleep mode and wake back up. The issue is when I just leave it unattended and let it go to sleep. The only thing I haven't done is do a complete factory reset, which I really don't want to do. Can someone help me with this?

Hello guys. Same story! My computer sleeps off when am typing. Sometimes it becomes too much and i can hardly type any word. Its very very annoying and it has stressed me because i have much to do. i have checked power settings but looks to be okay. Imagine it has gone to sleep 10 times as i typed this text! i have to keep touching the power button all the time! sometimes i touch any key and it goes on

IOS 8.1 installed yesterday has spoilt my iPad 2! There are no keyboard, message or app sounds, performance is now sluggish, juddery and strange, battery is draining fast and it no longer security locks when put to sleep.

I am so cross because iOS 8.1 installed yesterday has ruined my iPad 2! There are now no keyboard, message or app sounds, performance is slow, juddery and strange, the battery is draining fast and the iPad no longer security locks when put to sleep. I have checked all the settings, done a number of resets and really wish I hadn't bothered and stayed with iOS 7 when it all worked like a dream. I thought that by waiting until 8.1, teething problems would have been fixed and I am just horrified that there is no going back! I am not the only iPad owner that has this set of problems so why didn't you warn us Apple! What are you going to do to help us? I do not want to be forced into buying a newer version of iPad because you broke this one!

In spite of the fact that you said you checked the settings, I still believe that you have system sounds muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

AS for your other issues, have you done any other troubleshooting like resetting your iPad, resetting all settings or doing a complete factory reset?

Try clearing privacy data in browser to get a bit of ram back. if no good , do hard reset, you'll need to re-set up phone so back up first. Then type *#7370# and use passkey 12345 and phone will re-start and be like'out of the box' your memory card will not be affected.
Good Luck

Hi Ted,

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
Ignore the MacKeeper ad no matter what else you decide.
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.
Just sits there occupying very little space & never interfering, unless you need to invoke it in Single User Mode.

Shuts down when put into sleep mode

Any idea why this is happening?
When my ipod touch locks itself or if I put it into sleep mode, it will not wake itself up with the press of a button - instead, it restarts (black screen with apple logo in centre).
It is only 12 hours old and was perfectly fine when running on the factory 1.xx software, it has only started happening since the 2.1 software was installed.
Since, I have Restored it through iTunes which performs another clean install of 2.1 and it is the same still
Weirdly, while it is connected to my PC through the USB cable, it behaves perfectly (waking up from sleep instantly with the press of the home button), but as soon as I disconnect it from the PC, it starts playing up again.
If I set the settings to never lock, it performs brilliantly which is annoying as I now have a taste of what this device can do, but I just cant put it into sleep mode.
Any ideas on what I need to do? Or is it a case of returning it to Apple?
Thanks for any response

Is the battery FULLY charged? If not, charge it and then see how it reacts...make sure Wi-Fi is off while you do this--I've noticed weird things when it's docked and plugged into my TV (with the new dock) and wi-fi is on--I get battery messages randomly and it eventually shuts down (even though it's plugged into a dock with power, that came from Apple and is the "latest and greatest"...)

G4 mirror/when put to sleep computer shuts down, power up problems

I'm having some strange problems here, and I've looked through the topics and I can't find one that exactly fits my issues.
Recently my mac shut off when I put it to sleep and It would not turn back on, also the button would not light up when pressed. I unplugged it, checked the power source and when I plugged it back in the button light would come on when immediately touched and then go out, again not starting(note: my external hard drive comes on and after a few seconds shuts off). After trying it several times I gave up. About 4 hours later I tried it again and it started.
This has happened every time I've either shut down or put it to sleep. I feel very uncomfortable leaving my computer on all the time.
I tried the PMU reset my mac immediately started up, I thought problem solved until I put it to sleep again. Shut down wouldn't start up.
Exchanged batteries with the exact same computer from work, did a PMU reset, the Mac started right up. Put it to sleep same deal.
I am buying a new battery today.
I find it strange that when the mac is immediately shut down either by me or when it goes to sleep, the button light won't come on unless I unplug it from the back and replug it in. Then the button light will come on but not necessarily start up. I sometimes have to wait hours or it will come back on immediately.
right now its a crap shoot.
please help if you can.

Yuk. I don't even like to discuss this, but depending on the service, the filter caps in the psu and many other places in the system wear out and start causing problems. I would start monitoring voltages coming from the psu to the mother board using a digital multimeter. You can probe the white connector from the psu to the mother board from the top of the connector using a paper clip or dental pick on the connector pins. I believe this diagram is applicable to most of the ppc Macs:

Also consider that your drive may be at fault here. My DA does not like to be put to sleep. It does strange things when put to sleep.

Cable boxes keep freezing up when surfing

Cable boxes keep freezing up when surfing, have to unplug to reset, delay in response to entries cause wrong entires i.e. enterin 212 but the two does not show so you press it again and again next thing you know you have 222212 instead of 212. COMCAST does not provide an email address for its customers to file complaints because they do not want to get them...Had to try multiple account names before I found one that was not taken...

If you look around the forum, you will find a email address to send to. Also on the forum, you can post your issue and someone from Comcast will followup, you can do a online chat if you don't want to call.
Pretty much if you email, they will just call you back anyway so they can confirm your identity, since it's easy to spoof someone's identify to get into your Comcast account and make changes. Identify theft runs rampant these days using email.
The Comcast team has been notified and will followup, expect a response here by tomorrow.

System crashes when put to sleep or restart

My system crashes when put to sleep or when I click re-start. This also happens when applications start and need to take over the entire screen. Once it crashes, I cannot start the computer for approx 5 minutes. I cannot re-start in safe mode because it also crashes. I cannot start with the application disc because the dvd drive pops open when I start the system. I have tried shutting the system down from the menu bar and the screen exits to the desktop window, but doesn't shut off. I have used disc utility to repair permissions and have re-set the pram, but the problem remains. I have a G4 gigabit/ethernet, running OSX 10.4.11, with an Apple Studio Display and ATI Radeon 9000 Pro graphics card. This has been going on for a while - I am not sure if it started when I installed OSX tiger or when I added two new ram memory chips (I have four added, 2 512 SDRAMM and 2 128 SDRAMM). Please advise. Thank you.

I am not sure if it started when I installed OSX tiger or when I added two new ram memory chips (I have four added, 2 512 SDRAMM and 2 128 SDRAMM).
The absolute first step in troubleshooting is to remove the recently added RAM.
That will remove question regarding the RAM.
Have you tried a Safe Mode boot (hold Shift while booting)?
This will allow for automatic system repairs. While in safe mode, does the sleep function work?
From Safe mode, does the restart function work?
If after removing the RAM, and after Safe mode, the problem persists, a PMU reset may be worth trying.
The PMU controls all power functions, sleep and shut down and start. Corruption in the PMU will cause problems with these functions, and a reset will clear this up if the PMU is the root cause.

Since I upgraded to Maverick when computer sleeps it will not wake up but must be restarted? Also password to icloud is never saved?

I read someone said you can tap on "other" when selecting which wifi you connect to and then entering the exact wifi name of the network you wish to join and the password and then joining that network allowed the password to be saved. Also with iOS 6 the minimum length of the password needs to be 8 characters. Maybe you password on your router is less than 8 characters long
