Leopard wont sleep, makes me restart every time

my powermac G5 wont sleep. It used to - until i turned it off for a week. Every time i try to sleep it gets the greyed out screen, and says restart. when i do restart it comes back on and says unexpected shut down.
I have tried:
unplugging all usb/firewire items
reset pram
reset scu (?)
passed a full hardware test from the installation disc
done an archive and install back to 10.5 (10.5.2 ruined my Bigpond ADSL modem!)
spent 2 hours on the phone to apple care (they do care, they just cant fix it!)
Any guesses???

It's in your manual. If you don't have it handy, here's the list of PDFs.

For mine, it's toward the bottom of the motherboard below the memory slots. Earlier Power Mac G5's may be different.

  • IPod restarts every time I click the center button

    Every time I click the center button to go into the music folder, my iPod restarts, so I can't get into those files. It sometimes happens when going in to the extras folder as well. What do I do?!

    Do you have any podcasts on your ipod?
    My nano has a very strange problem with resetting too, whenever I transfer a podcast to the ipod, listen to them using the 'Podcasts' folder itunes makes in the ipod's music folder(not playlists, but in the root music menu, before playlists), then delete just the podcast itself instead of the whole podcast folder, then I try going back into the music menu on the ipod, it restarts every time.
    Only fix I've been able to come up with is just creating a new playlist for just podcasts, and putting my podcasts in that playlist and deleting the 'Podcasts' folder that itunes creates everytime I transfer a podcast to the ipod.

    4s restarting every time I enter my 4 digit pass code

    You might see if rebooting helps:
    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The iPad should begin to start up.

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo (iOS 5.1.1)

    My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo. Why is this happening and is there any way to fix it? It's not jailbroken, so I guess it's not malware

  • Why does my computer restart every time I plug in my ipod?

    I got my ipod touch a few weeks ago, and for the last two weeks, every time I plug it in, my computer restarts. It continues to restart every time it reaches the XP loading bit (where the bars travel across the screen, I don't know the technical name). I put the computer into safe mode and it doesn't restart, but my ipod isnt recognised on itunes so I can't sync it.
    Does anyone have this problem, or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

    I've got a first gen. Ipod touch and I had a problem with my computer and had to wipe my hard drive and reinstall windows! since then when I plug in my touch it restarts my computer.
    I'm looking on the forum for a solution before I try anything but to me it looks like we have a similar problem.
    The only things different on my system since the last time it worked properly are I updated/reinstalled itunes yesterday and I installed NORTON 360 about a week ago so I think it must have something to do with them!
    what browser do you use? I'm using firefox.
    If you find a solution can you post an update and I'll do the same,thanks.

    Hi Eric Ferguson,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • My 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their  keyboards changed.  Why is Apple silent?

    After the latest apple IOS upgrade my 3 apple products, an imac, a macbook air and a macbook, lost their contact with their external hard disks. They were LaCie make. And every time I turn my laptops, I find the positions of the keys on their  keyboards changed.  Why is Apple silent? There are so many people complaining about this issue and expecting Apple to correct this issue that they have created.

    Probably because it's not an Apple issue. I have Lacie EHD's connected to my MBAir and iMac, all work perfectly on Mavericks. In addition I don't have any keyboard issues on any of my Apple products. BTW IOS is only for IOS devices such as iPads, iPods and iPhones, Macs use OS X. The two OS's are seperate  products designed to run on seperate products.

  • Mail needs to be restarted every time I awake my computer from sleeping,

    Every time I awake my computer from sleeping, Mail needs to be restarted.
    Why's that?
    The problem is that if I'm not aware of i it, my Mail stays offline.
    Any help?
    Thanks
    Nico

    This is a bug that doesn't affect everyone. I can't reproduce it and I don't know what triggers it. The following steps have been reported (but not confirmed by me) to work around it in some cases:
    Turning off Dictation
    Turning off the built-in firewall
    Turning off the Energy Saver setting to allow hard drives to spin down when idle
    Changing DNS servers
    That's all I've been able to find out.

  • Mac Pro restart every time it wakes from sleep

    I wonder if anyone has this problem, it is not a big one but annoying. Every time I wake my Mac Pro from sleep it restarts, why is that and can it be fixed? Or there is something wrong with this model?
    Model info:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz

    It is big if the hard drive directory is corrupt in the process.
    It was common when 2008 first came out, there is/was a firmware update to address this - and a long thread from March era 2008.
    Underpowered UPS can also cause this behavior.

  • Macbook restarts every time I put it to sleep

    Hey
    For some reason my Macbook suddenly decided to start restarting when I put it to sleep. This happens both when I close the lid and when I set it to sleep through the menu, and it has (so far) happened every time until I booted into Safe Mode (as recommended in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5216881 ), where it slept like it should.
    I suspect something fishy going on in the Energy Saver department, but I'm very much unsure. Any help will be appreciated =)

    Have you tried resetting the SMC? Power management is one of the features it controls and if there is a problem there it might explain the odd behavior...

  • My iphone 5s restarts every time I click on an app

    Every time I click on an app my iphone 5s restarts all by it self 
    Should I call apple support and see if I can get a new one?

    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy...

  • Have to restart every time I starup - RAID or other set-up problem?

    It's off topic - apologies - I've had no luck in the Mac Pro forum or general searching. I am posting here too as I wonder if it's to do with my FCP or RAID settings, or similar...
    Every time I startup, the Mac Pro freezes straight away and I have to restart. When I do I get the RAID utility which gives an error message due to the 'disorderly shutdown'.
    At one point I also got RAID errors as I wasn't letting the RAID card battery charge, but I have since worked that out. I have no RAID knowledge (it is not my mac, just the one I am working on) and don't fully understand how it effects this set up.
    I have 1 system and 2 media drives, Internal 1TB. And according to the RAID utility - one RO-1 RAID Set.
    I tried to post a screen grab of the RAID utility but can't seem to make that work.
    I've tried Safe Booting, Repairing permissions, and no joy - always the double startup.
    Any pointers appreciated..
    Cheers
    Hugh

    Your solution will not work!  It has been tried many times by users, and fails every time.
    Other HP Employees have explained why it doesn't work - the lack of a bootloader in update.zip prevents  the ability to roll back to Jelly Bean.
