Power mac G5 won't wake after sleeping

manual sleep start - OK for less than 5 minutes but not more than 5 min. Possibly Logitech 3-button laser mouse? I've read that it's usually a USB issue. nothing else is connected at this time and the power saver system prefs including drives are all set to never. Thanks in advance.

Printers have been known to cause some sleep problems.
Disconnecting the printer will tell you right away....
The mouse shouldn't be a problem.
Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the machine sleeps in safe Mode.
If it does, and after a restart to normal, does the problem still occur?
If so, try a new user account.
Does the problem continue?

  • 23" momitor won't wake after sleep after installing Radeon AGP 128 dual dvi

    hello,
    My monitor won't wake after sleep mode. This is new after installing the radeon 128mb dual dvi card. I assumed it should be "ready to go" because I bought it at Tekserve, which sells and fixes Macs.
    And if I have my 17" acer display connected the desktop, upon wake-up, partially swithches to the 17" -minus the tool bar. And without the tool bar I cannot access the OS or preferences. I have to restart.
    Is there a driver to solve this dilemma? I can keep the computer on without sleep and turn off the monitors but that seems to be a poor solution.

    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Check for Login Items 
    Open System Preferences/Accounts then select the Login Items tab. Delete any files or apps you have listed there.
    And go to /Library/Startup Items. Move any files in the Startup Items folder to the Trash
    If there's enough disk space and login items aren't an issue, launch Disk Utility. The startup disk may need repairing.
    Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select: Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions).
    If the disk needs repairing >

  • IMac won't wake after sleep

    Hi
    I have a brand new iMac 21.5" with Hybrid drive.
    Its OS and apps are fully update to date.
    Strange thing is that it won't wake from sleep.
    To reboot, I have to turn the power off at the wall and back on again. Neither of the usual
    wake/reboot processes work (holding the power button briefly or holding the power button for
    > 10 seconds). No combination of opt/ctrl/cmd/power work either. I have to turn it off at the wall
    and back on again, after which it immediately boots.
    I've reset the SMC and NVRAM/PRAM.
    I've checked the power options - which are set to defaults (sleep after 15 IIRC).
    I've also checked the console log at the time of sleep - and there is no indication of anything
    going wrong (an example is below).
    Does anyone have any other ideas as to what I can try before going through the painful process
    of sending it into the shop?
    Many thanks.
    Paul.
    Console log below. You can see the machine went to sleep after 12:05pm, and I woke it up and 8:20pm. There seem to be no unusual messages in the middle.
    (The SASL failure is email... still working on that).

    I have gone to the apple support team - and they took me to the standard apple "what happens if your mac won't turn on" page
    (If your Mac won't turn on - Apple Support) and walked me through the standard checks (which I'd already done).
    The support guy thought it was a bad driver - I'm not so sure as I haven't installed anything new (just updates).
    Anyway - I was just hoping/wondering someone in the wider community had seen this issue before I take the machine
    in for servicing.

  • G4 won't wake after sleeping

    My ibook G4 has recently been unable to wake after sleeping. The only recent software change was a Security update and itunes update. the problem seemed to start just after that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Chuck

    The screen is not set to dark. When it fails to wake up from sleeping, there is no noise from the disk drive. There is no reaction to any input except holding the on off button until it restarts.
    This seems to be an intermittent problem; sometimes it won't wake at all, sometimes it wakes, but makes a steady buzzing noise until I restart it.
    I've set it to never sleep, but since I travel with my computer most every day, I do have to close it, and then often have the problem when I re-open it.

  • Power Mac G5 won't go to sleep

    I know this question has been around but not sure what the definitive answer really is. I cannot get my G5 to sleep (recently upgraded to 10.5.8). If you manually tell it to sleep in the apple menu, it crashes/freezes. I tried putting a blank DVD in the tray (something I saw in another post) no help. As a sidebar, when I try to put the Hardware tool in from the original disc, it says it's not compatible with my Mac-even though it is the original disc. What can I do to get it to sleep or diagnose a potential hardware problem???

    Ok, working on the 2.3 DC right now. This machine has trouble going to sleep but remains asleep once it's there.
    I shut it down, reset the SMU and also unplugged the outlet for about five minutes, then reboot. I changed the sleep timer for 3 minutes for testing and it went right to sleep on the first try.
    Then I went and connected the mac mini and now it won't go to sleep. I then disabled wake for admin access on the 2.3 DC. Still it won't sleep. Every three minutes I can hear the HDD click or spin down but it still doesn't sleep.
    Guess I'm just wondering if it's connected to another machine if it prevents it from sleeping, which could be the case on both machines.

  • Power Mac G4 Won't Boot after Installing 2nd Hard Drive and Additional RAM

    Hello. I am using a Power Mac G4 (PCI graphics) that I bought a few weeks ago. It was working perfectly fine until I tried to add an additional hard drive and add more RAM to the machine. After I closed the case and plugged it back in, it won't start up at all. No sound, no lights, nothing spinning, nothing. I removed the added hard drive and RAM, but it still refuses to start. I don't know what happened. Hopefully it's not a logic board failure or anything else equally bad.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The PowerMac G4 PCI forum is over here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=586
    I'll ask a moderator to move your thread. Try replacing the clock battery, and hitting the CUDAS switch.

  • Power Mac G5 won't restart after installing 10.4.10 update

    Good Morning,
    Last night I finally updated my Power Mac G5 to Tiger. That went just fine and I verified that everything was still functional and I could still connect to the web via my DSL. No problems yet...
    I then downloaded the 10.4.10 update from Apple and installed it. When asked for Restart or Shutdown I chose Restart. The beginning of my problem. Upon restart I got the chime and the grey screen with the apple logo followed by the spinning stopwatch icon. It just kept spinning...for like 20 minutes. Then the fans started to wind up louder and louder and the spinning stopwatch icon stopped in it's tracks. I shut it down. It happened again.
    Suggestions?
    Trying to start from a disc (while holding down the "C" key) didn't seem to work any differently and wound up at the same result. Ironically, it just came out of the extended Applecare warranty this past February.
    Thanks for any suggestions in advance,
    Jim

    So you can't use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk? It won't get there? If it does, does your drive show up, and what is it's S.M.A.R.T. status please?
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.
    Cheers!

  • ARD client won't wake after sleep

    I have a client on the network that won't wake. I have the "wake for ethernet access" checked and access set up correctly (seven other machines with same OS and ARD client version working fine). Running a MacPro with 10.5.8 with ARD Client version 3.3.1. Any suggestion as to what I'm missing? THANKS!!

    Sorry for my delayed response...It's on the same subnet. There may be something plugged into one of his firewire ports. Could that be something?

  • Won't wake after sleep

    Is anybody else having the following problem. I started a back-up session using Apple's Backup application when I went to bed and was going to allow it to run over night. I was backing up to the external drive attached to my Airport and when I woke up to check it my computer would not wake from sleep - just the spinning ball. Eventually, I had to force a restart. This has happened a few times when using the external drive plugged into the Airport with Apple's Backup application. Does anybody have any thoughts about this?

    Set your computer to never sleep—at least when you're doing a backup.

  • Won't wake after sleep unless charging.

    Sometimes when I put my macbook pro to sleep it shuts down after some time and will only turn back on when plugged in. This is very annoying as if I don't take my charger with me my mac won't turn on. Can anybody help me? Thankyou

    I'm running 10.7 as well. I had the same situation occur to me: I had put my MBP to sleep. The next day, I opened it up to find that it had shutdown overnight. Had to plug in the power adapter and push the "on" button to start-up machine. Strangely enough, the battery had 75%+ charge when it shutdown during sleep.

  • Leopard won't wake after sleep

    When I go to my computer in the morning it will not wake.
    It hangs at a blue screen....this never happened with Tiger!
    I have to do a restart by powering down holding the power button.
    Any possible fix?
    thanks

    I think I may have found the fix for this. My MacBook Pro was dying in its sleep every time (after installing Snow Leopard), whether it went to sleep automatically or I used a Hot Corner. I went into System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver and changed the screen saver to Flurry, and it works now. I had had it set to a folder containing a single .pct file that I had created.
    Good advice Mike! When in doubt check the ScreenSaver settings.
    Definitely seems that it has a problem with that pic... In my case, selecting any images instead of the default setting (no screensaver) seems to have cured my non waking issue on my early Macbook Pro in Snow Leopard.
    My original problem was that no amount of trackpad input woke it, but the space bar did. The space bar seemed to wake it up with the previous Screen Saver setting. Now trackpad wakes it up (even from total sleep as well as screen saver), too. Might be nice to know about if this is an intended 'feature' as a security trick. Otherwise I consider this a bug.
    My vote is that it's a bug.

  • Mac Pro won't wake from sleep on SSD boot drive

    MacPro is unresponsive awaking from sleep, regardless of what is running. I've put my system & apps on a 120G Mercury Extreme Pro 2.5", with my data residing on SATA. So far, I've reset PRAM, had logic board replaced thru Apple Care, archived & reinstalled, and am currently trying to resolve with a level 2 tech, although scheduling calls is becoming prohibitive & frustrating. Have been at it for 5 weeks. Installed system onto SSD using CarbonCopy Cloner from SATA. Mac is a mid 2010 Refurb 2.66. Any insight would be helpful.

    I'm using a OWC 120GB SSD on my mac pro with no problems.
    I recall that sometime back sometime after I got my SSD there was a report (like this one) that Sandforce-based SSD's (like OWC's) had some sleep-related problem associated with hibernate mode.  There was supposed to be a firmware update but I don't know if it ever was released.  If it was it was certainly after I got my SSD.
    At any rate, type, 
    pmset -g
    in the terminal and see if it says hibernatemode is 0.  If it's non-zero change it to 0,
    sudo pmset hibernatemode 0

  • Macbk pro 2010 won't wake after sleep, must restart twice to get it working

    If I close the macbook or leave it open for too long the screen goes black and I must restart it via the power button 2 times before it starts up normally.  On the first restart, the computer shuts down but when starting back up the screen stays asleep, so must shut down again.  OS X 10.9.5, tried running apple hardware test (AHT) but couldn't get the icon to show up.  No idea what to do...

    OK, 10.6.7 update did NOT fix the issue.
    So before putting mbp to sleep last night, I did a SMC reset procedure.
    This morning when it woke up, it detected the cable immediately.
    Thanks leroydouglas.

  • Mac Pro won't wake from prolonged sleep in Mountain Lion

    My Mac Pro won't wake from sleep after it is in sleep mode for several hours at a time.  It will wake if the sleep period is short.  But if it sleeps overnight it will not wake the next morning.  Nothing seems to work.  It requires a hard restart.  I am running OS X 10.8.2.  I read in another site that this problem was fixed for Macbook Air and Macbook Pro by turning off hibernate mode in Terminal.  But I doubt this would help with my Mac Pro.
    Any thoughts or ideas?
    Thanks.
