Power Mac G4 sleep mode issue using 10.5.8

Hello All,
If this is posted in the wrong discussion room, let me know.
I have a problem and I am not sure what to do at this point. For reference to understand the problem, I have a Power Mac G4 Dual 1.25Ghz MDD 2003(No FW 800) with an Apple Cinema Display. I also have a USB 2.0/FW 400 PCI card installed. I use this card to connect my external HD's.
The problem I am having is that the machine does not fall asleep properly using Leopard. When I manually put the computer to sleep, the monitor and external HD's shut off, but the fan stays on. When I try to wake the computer by hitting keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse, the computer will not wake the monitor or the External HD's. Furthermore, it freezes the computer when it is in the mode and the only way for the computer to function again is if I restart.
Until a month ago, I was running Tiger, 10.4.11, on my machine and had absolutely no problems with sleeping my Mac. I decided to go to Leopard, 10.5.8, and used the clean install option. I then used migration assistant to grab all my data and settings from a backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
Using 10.4.11, I would usually let the computer sleep after 15 minutes of idling. Now, under 10.5.8, the computer freezes after the sleep mode is attempted.
At first I assumed that the computer was preparing itself to sleep and might take a while. I decided to wait it out to see if the computer would eventually fall asleep. I waited an hour but the computer maintained the same status with the fans blowing and the front power button light staying lit. And, of course, the keyboard and monitor were not responding.
I read some forum discussions that suggested to people with similar problems to consider removing anything connected to the PCI card. It was suggested that the HD's were keeping the computer awake. I tried removing each HD one at a time to see if it was a particular HD causing the problem. With each configuration that I tried to put the computer to sleep, the same result occurred.
At this point, I am at a loss. I love my PowerMac and don't feel the need to upgrade as my most of my needs are met with this machine. This problem is not a deal breaker for me, but it is an annoying to have to restart after leaving the computer for a while. I know the other option is to shutdown and startup each time I leave the computer for any timeframe longer than 30 minutes, but is annoying and I don't know how bad it is for the computer to be shutdown and started again so frequently. If there is a fix to take care of this problem, I am willing to try it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Maverick

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

Z77A-GD65 power led on sleep mode issue

Hello,
Just finished putting up my new gaming system. It's my second MSI mobo build. Everything works just fine except for one thing - power led won't blink on sleep mode, it stays lit up. I'm not sure if this is an OS issue. I've tried installing Win7 on two HDDs, one's IDE sata mode, and AHCI for the other one. Didn't make any difference. Computer will turn off and go to "sleep mode" but the power led will stay on. My MSI P67 mobo blinks when on sleep mode. Also, for the Z77 mobo, the ACPI setting on the BIOS has S3 mode, and it has "blinking" and "dual light" option for the sleep indicator, neither of these function properly. Even on BIOS v10.3, power led is still lit up on sleep mode. Flashed it to 10.5, still the same result. Overclocked or default, still the same result.
I really need an expert to tell me what is wrong with it. Is it a BIOS glitch? Or a defect?
Thanks in advance.

Is it better to leave my mac on sleep mode at night or should i shut it off???

IS IT BETTER TO LEAVE MY MAC ON SLEEP MODE AT NIGHT OR SHOULD I SHUT IT DOWN???

If you have read the instruction manual, it says. Leave your Mac asleep if you are going to use it the next day or the day after. Switch it off if you are not going to use it for months.

Ipod won't power up from sleep mode

My ipod had 1/2 battery charge when I tapped the power button for sleep mode. About thirty minutes later I tapped it again to wake it up but it did nothing. Just a pure black screen. I plugged it into the wall for charging but even after an hour nothing happened. Only after letting it sit on wall charge for 5-6 hours did it respond. And then it simply woke up like it was just coming out of sleep mode. I've only had it for four months. Is this a hardware issue? And if so what can be done about it?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Is it possible for skype to wake Mac from sleep mode?

Does anyone know if it is possible for skype to wake Mac from sleep mode?

Sadly there is nothing in Skypes Code fot it. In fact, Skype for Mac, is one of the most Vanilla versions out. Windows Version has 5x-10x the user functionality. Since Microflops buy into Skype, Mac versions will continue to be second rate on purpose, but be thankful, if Microflop was there from teh beginning, they woudl have banned a Mac version, just like they do in their higher tier games.

Why does my Power Mac G5 use 5 times as much power after entering Sleep mode automatically as when I put it to sleep manually?

My Power Mac G5 (4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5) with an Apple 17" CRT monitor, an HP LaserJet 1200 Printer and an HP4570c scanner draws approximately 200 Watts of electrical power after entering the "Sleep" mode automatically, but only 41 Watts of electrical power if I put it to sleep manually.
I have tried changing the Energy Saver preferences in every way that I can think of, with no effect.
What am I doing wrong?

Hmm, 159 Watt diff, that's interesting, can't picture Hard Drives using that much, can you disconnect one devie at a time to test it's not them?

Macbook - Unplug AC power and Mac enters sleep mode

I am using a Macbook with a Dell 24 inch monitor, external keyboard and mouse. The lid is usually closed and I am familiar with the best practices how to use sleep mode.
I have now found that, in the above scenario, unplugging the power cord puts the Mac to sleep immediately. The batter is charged at 99% or better.
The reason why I want to unplug: let it drain to condition the battery according to Apple recommendations.
I am aware of the workaround: disconnect external peripherals, let Mac run on battery until it is drained (I like to think that the peripherals perhaps are part of the issue here).
I was simply wondering if putting the Mac to sleep when AC power is disconnected is a feature, or if anyone here has a suggestion. This has not previously happened to me when I used the Mac without the monitor/keyboard.
Thanks!

It requires the power adapter when using an external display. The electronics to drive a DVI port uses some power, and they assume power must be available if you have some place to plug in the external display, so they don't allow it to run an external display on battery only. To drain the battery, disconnect the external display, and run it at full brightness with the llid open and Energy Saving system preference set to never sleep the drive, display, or computer, and to run for maximum speed. You only have to calibrate a battery once. NiCads needed conditioning. Lithium-ion don't. Under some conditions you might extend the life slightly, but full discharges reduce life, so getting it just right is unlikely.

MSI GT70 2PE Pro Shuts off after power up and sleep mode, then works

I got this laptop less than a year ago and I am kinda getting upset about my decision buying it. It is the GT70 Dominator Pro with the GTX880M graphics card.
Only thing I did was install a SSD drive for my main drive and use the 1TB drive that it came with as a storage drive. Everything was working perfectly for about 4 months without any issues.
My problem started with the laptop shutting off in the middle of playing Watch dogs and wouldnt boot to windows, so i went to the BIOS and found out for some reason it changed my primary drive to the storage so i changed it back and all was good. After about a month it similar thing happened but this time I couldnt even get to the BIOS, after pressing the F10 or whatever it is for BIOS the computer freezes in a black screen.
I contacted MSI and sent it out for warranty, they had to change the whole motherboard as it was not serviceable (Issue was a faulty MB).
Last week the laptop started acting up again, here is my issue. When powering it on the fan and light comes on but after couple of seconds it turns off, then powering it on for 2nd time it works. This happens 80% of the time, i have to turn it on twice before it works. Even more frustrating thing is when it is at Sleep mod, I press the power to wake it up, so it does but before getting to windows screen it shuts off.
I was wondering if anyone have similar issue like mine or know what could cause this. My tower PC that i built have a MSI board and graphic card thats why I went with their laptop but I had pretty bad experience with it so far and its not a cheap laptop either. I might have to go through another warranty work if it keeps giving me the issue.

Try update IRST driver.

Power Mac G4 sleep problem

Hello!
My G4 (mdd) won't go to sleep anymore. Neither on its own via energy saver nor when you press the power button or select sleep in the apple menu. Does anyone know what to do?
I already unplugged my USB devices, didn't help. Then I trashed my energy saver and bluetooth preferences and reset PRAM by pressing <commandoption+PR> at startup, no luck. I read all the previous posts about this issue and did everything they said, but it didn't help.
maybe someone has an additional suggestion.
Thank you!

Power Mac G4 (mdd) 867 dual Mac OS X (10.4.3)

A number of sleep-related issues can appear after incremental Mac OSX updates, including the inability to properly go to sleep, problems waking from sleep, and having your display go to sleep without your Mac going to sleep. The most common culprit is Bluetooth. Try these tips to fix your sleep problems.
WAKE UP
In System Preferences>Bluetooth, uncheck Allow Bluetooth Devices To Wake This Computer. If you are using a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, you'll have to wake your Mac by pressing the power button.
FILE CORRUPTION
Your Bluetooth preference file may be corrupt-you'll need to delete it. Turn Bluetooth off, then go to the /Users/user name/Library/Preferences folder. Look for a file called com.apple.Bluetooth.plist and trash it.The OS will create a new preference file when you enable Bluetooth again.
ENERGY SAVER
If you have issues with a Mac or display that goes to sleep at inappropriate times, you may have a problem with Energy Saver. Delete the following .plist files and restart:
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
-/Users/username/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist--(username is your name or System Administrators name).
-/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
A restart is very important after deleting these plists. After a reboot your Mac will then generate new ones.
In some cases, running MacOS X's cron tasks-maintenance that the OS performs automatically if you leave your Mac on 24 hours a day-can resolve many sleep problems. If you don't want to leave your Mac on, you can use MacJanitor, Yasu, or OnyX free at Versiontracker.com.
Some, in these forums, have had luck fixing sleep issues downloading the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try.
Yours would be the 10.3.9 combo update. Others here would use the one for their version.
Cheers!

Macbook Pro Retina 13'' - Power button and sleep mode

I just updated my Mac, which is the latest Macbook Pro Retina 13''. All of a sudden, it refuses to enter sleep mode when I press the power button, which worked perfectly fine before the update. I now have to manually enter sleep mode from the monitor. After entering sleep mode, It works fine to press the power button to make it work again, but not reverse. Why?
Thanks in advance!

I have this problem as well. Worked perfectly before I updated to OS X Mavericks (10.9.2).
Now I have to hold the power button in for it to sleep or click on it for a few times. But there is no problem when I'm going to wake the computer up, just a single push and it works fine. Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? Any respond from Apple regarding this issue and how to solve it? Or should i contact my retailer?

G3 Power Usage in Sleep Mode

My iMac 400 MHz PowerPC G3 uses about 34 watts of power while sleeping. (100 watts while running). I've read other Macs use as little as 3 watts. Is this normal for my computer?

Completely sleeping. Newer Macs require much less power when sleeping, so I've read. I've seen a few places that seem to indicate there are certain Macs like mine that use more power in sleep mode. My computer was bought in 1999 or 2000. Maybe they've just improved efficiency since then. I plugged my computer into a device called Kill-a-Watt which measures electrical output. I suppose most people may not know (or care) how much juice their machines are using, but I like to keep my usage at a minimum.

I have the same issue with a MBP from mid 2011 and 500GB SSD drive.
Thought maybe it was caused by dropbox, google drive, twitter, clocks or logmein, but even after clsoing all of these and putting it to sleep it still happens.
Found this on another site so please let me know if this is useful. I haven't tried any of this but will soon.

Yoga 2 Pro - Sleep mode issue

Hi All,
I've been experience troubles with issues ralated to sleeping.
Sometimes it just sleeps well.
Sometimes my Y2P sometimes won't go sleep(insomnia???). The screen goes off but the fan doesn't stop and the keyboard backlit doesn't go off. And whatever I do won't wake it up in this circumstance, for example hitting a key on the keyboard, hitting the power button, or touch the screen. I have to restart to enter the OS. (FYI VirtualBox may cause this problem but I was not running it. I don't even have it installed.)
And sometimes it does go sleeping and can be waken up, but during the sleep the fan doesn't stop and the machine becomes very hot. This seems to happen only under the power manager high performance mode but I'm not sure. Twice I just closed my laptop and went to bed. and left the poor Y2P baking-hot overnight. As a result, the battery capacity estimate in the power manager is now 'Normal'. I believe it was 'Excellent' or 'Good' when I first received it. (FYI the capacity is now 54760mWh.)
I really love this machine. Yellow issue is not a killer but the sleep problem does troubles me a lot. I'm not able to return it because I just passed the 15-day return period. Any suggestion to solve those problem, folks?

I have observed two related issues on my Yoga 2 Pro. In agreement with a later poster to this thread, it will occasionally shut down (or crash?) rather than sleep. This happens occasionally when I have a dozen apps up in a configuration that I'd really like to go back to rather than have to set up again. I'm guessing this issue, shutting down improperly, could be a problem getting an app or service to sleep properly, giving up, and dying. One of the reasons I upgraded to the Yoga 2 Pro is that my old Sony Vaio did this same thing and I assumed a new machine would have the quirks worked out. Perhaps it's a Windows problem, but still should be addressed.
I have also found several times that I will take my Yoga 2 Pro out of my bag after hours of sitting and the two lights indicating that it is running will be lit solid with the laptop hot to the touch. I have no idea why a machine would turn itself on with the lid closed, even if the power button is bumped (which is very unlikely with its small size in a padded bag). I'd love for anyone at Lenovo to address whether this issue is known, common, being looked at? It's terribly frustrating to "start" with the battery half depleted because it's been busy generating heat in a confined place.

Sleeping mode issue with mountain lion

Hi,
I am using a MacbookPro with an external monitor. Since I've upgraded my OS system to Mountain Lion, whenever I close the lid, the Macbook is still running and doesn't enter into a sleeping mode like it used to do on SnowLeopard. Instead the external monitor will stay on and act as the main the monitor. Is there anyway this could be fixed?
Thanks

This is because while you've re-installed the system, you've preserved the user account.You need to do a "clean" install meaning a reformat and install. If the Mac orginally shipped with Lion or ML you can redownload via Recovery Partition but if the Mac shipped with Leopard 10.5.x or Snow Leopard 10.6.x then you need the OEM discs that shipped with it. You can call Apple and they will send you the discs for a nominal charge.
