New computer, still having SLEEP problems... aarrghh!

I just switched from my PPC 2x1.25G4 MDD to the new MacPro 2x3.2... and i'm still having sleep issues!
And this was before I even migrated over my system (which I did manually). I played around on my new, virgin system... and sleep was all wonky!
My previous problems w/ the G4 started right after the 10.5.2 update. I could GO to sleep, and wake up, but my monitor wouldn't come back on! Also, my USB and firewire would stop responding unless I did a reset.
Now, it's very similar. I can go to sleep, but when I hit the space bar, or click the mouse to wake up, the MacPro's fan starts WHIIRRING very loudly... and, more often than not, I get a grey screen with an apple, and the "progress gear wheel", which means the computer is starting up!
Again, I have NOT migrated all my old stuff over. Just very specific apps, and user info.
So what's going on? I've searched these forums and elsewhere, and sleep problems are very common w/ Leopard.
Any ideas?

Two of the most common causes for sleep issues are peripherals that aren't known to be compatible with Energy Saver, and peripherals that are underpowered plugged into the displays which aren't always able to give those peripherals sufficient power. As for fan issues, some people are more sensitive to fan noise than others, but some fan noise is normal, while others are not. Find an authorized service center that has a quiet room where they can investigate whether the noise is normal, or is willing to make a house call to determine it. I would not ask someone who has been sitting in the noise filled Apple Store to diagnose if the noise is normal.

  • Still having navigation problems and need help with how to debug

    Hi,
    I've been porting over a servlet project to JSF and I'm still having navigation problems. I thought the problem might have been because the original project used HTML frames and so the "from-view-id" JSP defined the frame/framesets and the specific JSP that does the submit (and so is named in the "from-view-id" is never defined in a "to-view-id" attribute). I've now switched to using an IFRAME, and that resolves that problem. So now the JSP is defined in a "to-view-id" attribute and it includes an named IFRAME that can be used as a target. I press the submit button and I get not the JSP expected butinstead the same JSP displayed inside its own IFRAME.
    Here is the code for the submit. I've simplified it as much as possible with a static action (originally it was a call to a method) just to try and get things to work. This is the current version:
    <h:commandButton value="View Alias" action="foo" styleClass="select" type="submit" />Here is the navigation rule in faces-config.xml. Again, the problem is that SelectManager get redisplayed in the IFRAME instead of display.jsp.
    <navigation-rule>
       <from-view-id>/SelectManager.jsp</from-view-id>
       <navigation-case>
          <from-outcome>foo</from-outcome>
          <to-view-id>/display.jsp</to-view-id>
       </navigation-case>
    </navigation-rule>I have also tried it without the "from-outcome-value" which I presume means that the "to-view-id" gets displayed unconditionally and it still fails. Any ideas on how I can debug this? (I'm using GlassFish if that's important to know)

    Raymond, The real trick is avoid doing technical things when coming down with the flu (I should also add that I'm a JSF newbie). Reading your original message this time I see what you're suggesting and found a conversion error although I don't understand it. Here's the code (including the <h:message/>):
                <h:selectOneMenu value="#{members.dcodes}"
                  style="color: #7f0000" id="selector">
                  <f:selectItems value="#{members.departmentList}" />
                </h:selectOneMenu> 
                <h:message for="selector" style="color:white"/>And here's a snippet of the generated HTML:
    <select id="j_id_id26:selector" name="j_id_id26:selector" size="1" style="color: #7f0000">
             <option value="aad" selected="selected">Academic Advising</option>
         <option value="aaf">Academic Affairs</option>
         <option value="adm">Admission</option>
         <option value="up">Upward Bound</option>
    </select>If I select "Admission" for example, the error I get is:
    Conversion Error setting value 'adm' for 'null Converter'.Since everything is a String value, I don't get the error. Could someone please enlighten me.
    Thanks.

  • IPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    iPad mini with retina still having wifi problems with iOS 8.0.2 - slow or none. Resetting temporarily fixes problem it very annoying. Please fix Apple! Not up to scratch.

    I Have followed these steps, and tried others, such as resetting all my network settings. At best these only temporarily fix the problem - wifi still becomes slow or stops. I have other Apple devices connecting fine to my airport express. why is my iPad mini not working? Is it related to the fact it is 3G and I don't have a sim card installed? It is the current top of the range model with iOS 8.0.2. I paid over the odds for the best, and it is almost completely redundant.  Apple - I'm losing faith. You need to keep the public better informed and fix this problem fast, otherwise I will leave you for good.

  • New user account fixes sleep problem... what next?

    I have a Macbook Pro 2.4 GHZ that will no longer sleep automatically. I've tried a number of fixes, but the only thing that has restored normal sleep behavior is creating a new user account. Since the problem seems isolated to my current user account, what can I do to fix my user account? I'd prefer not to rebuild this account or reinstall Snow Leopard. Any thoughts are appreciated.
    I've tried:
    Quitting everything
    Resetting PRAM
    Resetting the SMC
    Turning off bluetooth
    Re-pairing my bluetooth keyboard and mouse
    Turning off airport
    Unplugging everything, including power
    Changing energy saver preferences
    Restoring energy saver preferences
    Deleting unused login items (only iTunesHelper, Things Helper, and AdobeResourceSynchronizer remain)
    Looking in Activity Monitor for suspicious processes
    Nothing above worked or revealed any clues. I haven't installed any new software recently. I did use a Verizon USB760 3G modem for the first and only time on a recent trip, but did not install software to accompany it. I can find no traces of the device on my system since returning home but am suspicious.
    Thanks for any help. Cheers!

    Yes. You got it. My computer will sleep when I close the lid or click on  > Sleep, but not when I leave it idle for the amount of time set in the Energy Saver preference pane.
    I tried deleting com.apple.systempreferences.plist from the folder ~/Library/Preferences and restarting but the computer still won't sleep. Other ideas anyone?

  • HT4623 After I updated the software to iOS 7.1.1 why I am still having the problem of charging the phone twice w/in a day?

    I just bought my iPhone 4s last April 29, 2014 and have the iOS 7 preset software but then I fully charge the phone and after couple of ours the battery is empty, at first I was shocked since this is a new phone and apple products are known for having a long battery life, so I've done my research then there's a new update which is iOS7.1.1, so I updated my phone's software since it fixes "battery problem" but then I am still suffering for having a shorter battery life. I am very dissapointed having this problem, i have an ipad but i didnt experience such problem. Please help me to have this problem resolve so that I can enjoy my new phone. Thanks!

    Thank you for your quick answer. I happen to have a brand new cable (orignal), I just syncronized my other phone and it worked just fine. At least I know is not the cable or the connection. It keeps showing the same error.
    Also there's no way I can turned off I try to reset it but the apple keeps poping up.

  • I have an Ipod Touch 4g. My computer broke. I have a new computer now. My problem is that my new computer  itunes library does not recognise the content already on my ipod. Help please

    I have an Ipod Touch 4G.   My computer broke.  I now have a new computer .  I have NO access to old computer.  The itunes on my new computer recognises by Ipod but not the music content already on my ipod.  This means it does not  show the content in the library on itunes any more.  The content on my ipod is not purchased from itunes store.  Can i get it to show up in the `new` library?    Is this also preventing me from downloading new items into my ipod - as i can download new discs into the library, but they will not load into the ipod.   Your help would be appreciated - cant bear another sleepless night.  Thank you

    I dont know how helpful this will be but here we go:
    try syncing your ipod again
    do you still have these cds? try reburning them to you library
    restart itunes
    restart the computer
    hardware reset ipod touch
    Heres how to do this
    Hold down power and home button at the same time until the screen goes black, ignore the slide to power off arrow
    Idevice will now restart on its own, this might take longer then when waking it from shut down
    6. now try step 1 again
    note: try any of these ideas they are not a set order of instructions
