Leopard (10.5.2) just rebooted spontaneously being woken up after sleep

I thought I had seen it all with Leopard, and then it just spontaneously rebooted when I woke it up from sleep. No applications open, just an empty OS X.
I think we all can agree that Mac OS X Leopard (in all 10.5.* encarnations) is the worst Apple ever produced. Even worse than OS9 or whatever it was called.
Steve Jobs and his programmers should be ashamed of themselves really. I even started wondering why Steve hasn't fired all the incompetent programmers working on Leopard yet. Everybody knows how fond he is of fireing people. The probable reason he didn't fire all incompetent Leopard programmers most likely is that if he did that, there wouldn't be any programmers left at Apple.
Congratulations people, for making the worst piece of software in the history of Apple software.

I have a brand new dual quad Mac Pro that has been exhibiting this bug for over a week. Following AppleCare's suggestion, I did an install and archive to get back to virgin status and have spend dozens of hours trying different things to track down this issue.
I was disappointed with the lack of acknowledgement of the problem by AppleCare, even though 100's of people on various chat lists are talking about this and other instabilities.
It indeed seems a Leopard issue ... and yet some people with seemingly identical machines do not experience the problem. So, then you wonder if it is hardware, or a combination.
When the reboot happens, there are no log entries as normally happen with sleep...no record of the computer ever going to sleep. Very odd.
As my attempt to switch from PC to Mac, I'm very disappointed with quality control and support from Apple. Even Microsoft (forgive me) eventually puts up a Knowledgebase article. But, with Apple producing both the hardware AND software, it is inexcusable to me for them to not have any kinds of announcements letting people know that they are aware of this and other Leopard problems and that they're working on them. This issue has been talked about for quite some time with nothing from Apple.
Do I return my machine before my 14 days are up? Or do I hang on with anticipation of a fix from Apple? At this point, I don't find Apple any less 'evil' than Microsoft...

MacBook Pro with Yosemite freezes on the login window after being woken up from sleep.

Hi,
my early 2011 MacBook Pro freezes when it's woken up from sleep mode. I have to force power down the macbook and do a fresh boot. I recently installed a SSD and did a fresh yosemite install from a USB thumb drive.

Count me in, I have the same issue, and from what I read here, it looks like a Yosemite/SSD related issue ?
I'm not 100% sure if it started when I put a SSD in my old iMac 2009 (as a fusion drive) or if that's after that when I upgraded to Yosemite...
I did disable auto poweroff like suggested in another thread : Mac freeze during the night sleep.
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
We'll see if it helps.
It happens toughly a couple of times a week.

Reboot Necessary for Airport Disk after Sleep

Anytime one of the computers on the network sleeps, it loses its conneection with the Airport Disk (250GB LaCie), Although the disk appears in the Menu bar icon, attempting to re-connect generates an error message about bad ID and/or Log-in disabled.
Sometimes this is resolved by rebooting the machine, other times by rebooting the AEBS.
I suspect I'm not the only one, but I wonder if Apple is aware of yet another flaw in the new AEBS.

I'm not aware that you can configure them to spin down. However this might be a good point.
Not that you can't configure them, but that I am not aware. I need around 5 Tb of storage for my home movies and back ups. This has not changed for some considerable time. Although my collection continues to grow, keeping mpeg4's instead of mpeg2's has saved me space. Not wanting to stray too far from the point, the point I am trying to make is I haven't bought any external storage for 2 or 3 years due to reliability, which may comfort you preceeding a LaCie purchase.
The drive I have attached as an airdisk is one that was freed up by the process I have told you about and is therefore quite old. it is a 500 Gb Triple interface (USB/FW/FW800). It does its job but does become disconnected from the extreme at semi regular intervals.
Personally I think this is because it is actually 2 x 250 Gb drives in one enclosure controlled by a RAID chipset. Apple does have info dotted about that says RAID's don't work. Pesrsonally I think it depends a lot on what level RAID, I think some won't work, some will and some have intermittent problems (I think mine is the later)

My brand new Macbook PRO i5 can't connect to internet after sleep? It works fine after reboot.

I have a brand new Macbook PRO with the latest OS and the latest EFI. I haven't installed any 3'rd party products except Moneywell for my private finances. After a couple of days it couldn't connect to internet after sleep. I run the network diag and it says the connection is OK. Log out/in doesn't help. I have to reboot everytime it wakes up after sleep. Any clue?

I am having the exact same problem. It started with 10.7, was fixed with 10.7.1, then came back again with 10.7.2.

X10 reboots spontaneously.

Sinds a week a have a x10. It all works fine (not that smooth as a Iphone5 or Gallaxy3) only got one minor problem. It sometimes reboots spontaneously, even when it does nothing.

I just witnessed the same thing happen to my Z10. It is sitting on the desk in front of me, charging on the AC adapter. I saw the LED go solid red, so I picked it up and it was rebooting. Bizarre.
I had something similar happen to another Z10 last week. In that case the Z10 was intentionally turned off and was charging. It turned itself on, again without any intervention whatsoever.
Anyone have any similar issues?

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support" It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button. I have to force quit Aperture. How do I fix?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button. Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture. How do I fix?

I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button. The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload. It has never done that before. It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open. I have to force quit aperture.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

First try:
iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
Next
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music y will have to get them like you did before

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Second box - menu lags and just rebooted

Sick of this now. Soon as our remortgage is fixed I'm switching to sky.
Had this second box for a few months. Takes forever to respond to remote and now it just rebooted while watching an on demand film. Disruptive annoying piece of absolute junk, BT I hope people leaves you in droves and tells you where to shove this so called service.

Well, I am thrilled to report that I've made the call - 30 days' notice given and I'm free on 27 June! MSE website is currently dishing out 50% off codes for Sky packages, to be used between Fri and Tuesday (30/5 - 3/6) - worth checking out folks. I doubt any company is perfect but my family have never had all these problems with their Sky box. I'm off!

Have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard. Can I just download 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as an upgrade so I can wifi sync with iPhone and iPad?

To expand on Niels post...
First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install the Snow Leopard Disc,
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
( It should be noted that Apple will send paid MobileMe members the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD for free.)

I just got my computer working again after 6 months of being without it, and now iTunes is saying it is not authorizable? How do I fix this?

I just got my computer working again after six months of it being down. I have had it for almost five years and it has been synced with my iPhone as well. I'm trying to re-sync it now but it won't transfer purchases I've made from iTunes on my iPhone and wants me to authorize my computer. I try, and then it tells me my account is already on 5 computers (it is NOT) and that this computer cannot be authorized. HOW do I fix this???

Log in to iTunes, go to "view your account info" on the itunes store, deauthorise all five, (Please Note: this can only be done Once every 12 months) and then re-authorize your current Computers one at a time.

Sol 8 Install just reboots

The DCA runs either from the Floppy or CD, once this step is completed and I select the location from where to boot the kernel and press F2 the machine starts booting. The WebStart part of the install starts, then the machine just reboots. It looks as though something is displayed on the screen but the screen is cleared before I can't read the message.
I have tried installing on a variety of PCs, including a DELL GXa which is pretty standard and mentioned in the hardware lists.
Anyone got any ideas?

What do you select as the device to boot from? Is Solaris installed on the Hard drive? If not then you must select the cdrom as the boot device until such time as Solaris is installed on the hard drive. If the floppy was not write protected when this happened it will be corrupt now and you need to download a new image from http://access1.sun.com and re-create the DCA floppy using the dd command.
If there is a Solaris 8 install on the hard drive then you may still need to boot cdrom, single-user and debug that install.
Instructions for booting single-user cdrom are in InfoDoc 22006. Here is the pertenant section:
Booting Single-User From CDROM Using the Device Configuration Assistant (DCA) on the Hard Drive:
1). Power the system on.
2). Insert the correct version Solaris Software cdrom for your system.
OPTIONAL: If there is a boot loader in operation on your system, select the Solaris partition as the partition to boot from.
3). After the "Solaris Secondary Boot Loader" and "Running Device Configuration Assistant" messages appear, hit the 'esc' key where prompted to do so.
4). At the "DCA intro screen" hit F2 (F2_Continue).
5). At the "list of devices found" hit F2 (F2_Continue).
6). At the "list of available boot devices" select the CDROM as the device from which to boot a Solaris kernel.
7). At the screen where you are prompted to select 1, 2, or 3 for what type of install you wish to do, enter 'b -s' instead of a number.
This will bring the system up to single-user mode from the cdrom.
Hope this helps.
