Powerbook won't  sleep automatically

Hi,
im reposting because no one replied to my initial post, my powerbook recently stop going to sleep on its on unless i do it manually. Every other energy saving settings works normally the display sleeps after a while but not the computer itself. Does anyone know whats going on?
Any help would be appreciated
cheers

Hi El Pres. --
I'm not sure here, but three things come to mind, but first two questions of my own:
• First, when you say the PB won't go to sleep unless you put it to sleep manually, do you mean that it just won't go to sleep when you close the lid, or does it also fail to go to sleep with the lid open after a set amount of time as well?
• Second, just so I'm clear, when you say you put the PB to sleep "manually," you mean you go to the Apple menu, select sleep and click, right?
Now, here are the only things that come to mind, in no particular order:
• First, you might try setting up a test account, separate from the one you normally use, and log in to that account and try putting the 'Book to sleep by means other than manually -- first by inactivity, using energy saver settings, and another time by closing the lid. See if either or both work when logged in to your test account.
• Second, you might try resetting your Power Management Unit. Instructions on how to reset your PMU can be found here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
• Third, and this is the one I'm least hoping is the case, but it unfortunately may be worth thinking about: if your PB does go to sleep after a set amount of inactivity via as per your Energy Saver settings, but does not go to sleep when closing the lid, you may have a hardware problem related to the lid's latching mechanism. WIth my 'Book, it's only when the lid has firmly latched, will the unit enter sleep mode.
Oh, yes, I forgot to mention: throughout all your tests of the computer's sleep mode, keep an eye on the little "sleep light" on the latch button and make a note of when you see it pulsing as it properly should and when you do not. This information may help you, us, or, if need be, an AASP or Apple tech, better understand what's happening inside your machine.
Post back if any of the above yields further useful info, or if you learn more otherwise.
Good luck.

  • HT1776 Mac won't sleep automatically

    Despite attending to all of the issues mentioned in this article, my machine won't sleep automatically.  However, I've found that using SleepNow (http://www.dragonone.com/products/macosx/pleasesleep/) works like a charm.  Apple should do something similar.

    Wow thank you. I have been struggling with my macbook for about a year with this issue. Even after complete reinstall of the system, on new hard drives etc. nothing seemed to work. It drove me nuts coming back to my computer 2 hours later to find it completely dead because the computer would. not. sleep. ever!
    This free simple tool took about 15 seconds to get on and running, and problem gone. Thanks so much.
    Apple get on this...

  • Pro won't sleep automatically

    Bought a new pro and used migration assistant to move stuff from my iMac.
    Now the Pro won't sleep automatically. It sleeps when I tell it to or on Schedule at 0100 but not after x mins of inactivity.
    The iMac it migrated from had no such issues.
    Is there any reset I can do to cure the problem?

    I have about a 2 year Mac pro (intel) and it will not sleep on its own. I can manually sleep it.
    The hard drive cycles up and down about every 2 minutes or so continually and the display remains blank. It will keep cycling the drive until I manually sleep it.
    I tried a few times doing the reset thing and once it helped but in a week or so it started to do it again. I went and made up a new user and it seemed to fix it for a month and then it want back to doing it again. It is very annoying. I even updated it to Leopard and it sill did it. I'll try the reset again and see.

  • Won't Sleep Automatically

    Strange happening: I can manually put the computer to sleep, and when I close the lid it goes to sleep. However... it will not go to sleep at the time set in the Energy Saver Preference Panel. Thoughts?
    PB G4 Ti 867   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
    If you've set your Mac to recieve faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Recieve Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that does'nt work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!

    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"

  • Powerbook won't sleep if USB mouse, printer attached: is there fix?

    Hi there,
    Thanks to someone, I now know that my powerbook won't stay asleep more than a couple seconds, because I have various USB items attached (mouse, printer, Wacom tablet). I've been having to unplug from the USB port, if I want to put my computer to sleep.
    This seems a little ridiculous to me, so I figure there must be a third-party app out there that fixes this issue. Is there? Or is there some other way to fix this, without having to unplug?
    Thanks,
    Malcolm

    That sounds like a good idea. I've just tried it and it did nothing but i've found info on the following page that has a different set of keys. It did restart twice as described but the problem is still there:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Thanks for trying though... Any other suggestions?

  • Powerbook won't sleep, just shuts down

    I asked about this some time ago and nobody ever had any ideas. I was just curious if someone new had ideas.
    My 12inch powerbook g4 won't sleep, if I tell it to sleep, or close the lid it just shuts down. I have changed the settings so that sleeping isn't an option and the screen saver comes on and then the screen goes to power save. The computer can stay like this for days/weeks but if the lid closes it shuts off. Any ideas? All the checks I have run haven't found any issues. I replaced the logic board about a year ago and the problem remained. So, it was either not associated with the logic board or both boards have the same issue. Not sure what else would cause this sort of issue.
    I am now running 10.5.4.

    sorry - should have added that I already reset PRAM, PMU, repaired permissions, ran cron scripts

  • MBP won't sleep automatically.

    My Macbook Pro won't go to sleep and it's driving me crazy.
    I have been watching my processes closely and haven't seen anything that would keep it awake. The screen goes off like usual but it won't actually go to sleep on its own.
    I can make it sleep by closing the lid or pressing sleep under the apple logo.

  • IMac (late 2009) won't sleep automatically

    Hi everyone,
    I hope anyone can help me out with this:
    My iMac doesn't go to sleep automatically after the time I set in the preferences menu. The only thing that happens is that the display switches off.
    I already tried several things:
    deleted the file com.apple.PowerManagement.plist (Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration)
    detached all external devices
    SMC reset.
    turned off all running applications
    None of these solutions worked for me.
    I know that the auto sleep worked some months ago, but I don't know what made it not work anymore.
    The sleep mode still works when I manually enter it by clicking the sleep button in the Apple menu or by pushing the Mac's power button.
    Any ideas except using PleaseSleep?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hey Mad-Hias, greetings from the US. I use dyndns.com, you can get a free dynamic ip there as well as a Mac client. Many routers have a built in Dynamic DNS service but my Apple Extreme doesn't so I ended up using dyndns...
    As for the sleep issue and my take on PleaseSleep. I think that the computer should work, period. If there is something going on that is preventing it from going to sleep when it is idle, I want to know about it in a log file or something, I want the system to do a better job logging this than it is currently doing in the console so that I can troubleshoot and fix and not have to resort to third party software. In OSX, if it is possible to have a process prevent sleep, then there should be a log file to show which processes are preventing sleep...
    My latest bought with this lasted 5 months with my 2010 iMac before I decided to fix it:
    My findings:
    1. Computer will not sleep automatically.
    2. What I tried:
         PRAM and SMC reset, creating new user accounts and testing, erasing some plist files, unplugging everything, uninstalling hp and brother printer and scanner drivers, closing all apps, restoring default energy saver, looking for stuff in console and activity monitor, NOTHING worked...
    for me the combination that fixed it was to make sure your time machine backup is good, deactive your computer in itunes, reinstall your OS from scratch + updates, DON'T restore using the Migration Assistant, this always broke sleep for me. Manually copy back your data using finder + time machine but NOT your apps. For me even the seemingly unrelated act of copying my apps from time machine even to a different drive (not the boot drive), broke sleep! Re-install your apps one by one and everything should work. This is a lot of work but I now have a sleeping computer.
    After doing all of this, I discovered that I had installed the dns update app which talks to the update service over the internet every two minutes, breaking sleep...
    For the sake of putting a nail on this coffin and putting this issue to "sleep", at least for me, I will do a complete re-install this weekend with a full Time Machine restore using Migration Assistant of all apps + data of my working system and test again. This will give me confidence of using the Migration Assistant in the future.
    One thing I almost forgot to mention is that you can use the command "sudo fs_usage" after you've closed all open apps and disabled all types sharing temporarily for your system to quiet down. I discovered the dns update problem this way...It was writing to the hard drive frequently, preventing sleep...

  • Powerbook won't sleep after OS install and update

    I replaced the original hard drive with a new drive, installed OS 10.4 from the boot disk, updated to 10.4.11, replaced original apps and user folder via Carbon Copy Cloner. Machine runs great, but won't Sleep, either from Apple menu or closing the lid, wakes up in 1-2 seconds. Had no problems prior to swap.
    Airport and Bluetooth are off, nothing plugged into the port. Trashed bluetooth.plist and restarted. Checked Energy Saver, set to "drive sleep when possible". Nothing new showing in StartUp items, or Activity monitor. Same whether battery or plugged in.
    The only diiference is that I typo'd my user name. I created a new Sys Prefs/Account, then deleted the old account. I've run Apple Disk Utility Repair/Permissions amd Onyx maintenance. Nothing scheduled to run in CCC or Onyx.
    Any advice is appreciated!

    Thanks BGreg,
    I did Software Update via WiFi. It took multiple passes, as Java would install, Software Update would recheck, and then download the next version. Took about 5 passes, with 2-3 restarts to have everything updated vai S.U.
    I used a generic Tiger disc as the boot disc.

  • G5 won't sleep automatically

    In an effort to save electricity and $$, I put my G5 on a sleep timer (10 minutes).
    But it does not go to sleep by itself. Using the Sleep menu command works.
    Any settings I might be missing that could be interfering with self-sleep?

    just want to add my 2 cents - I've had this problem forever (it seems).
    Standard PowerMac G5, aluminum 20" cinema display, firewire sight, white keyboard and mighty mouse.
    Mac will NOT sleep automatically under any circumstances.
    Mac will sleep when power button on tower or side of screen is pressed.
    Mac will sleep, restart and power down when selected from the apple menu.
    I've tried removing ram, pressing the SMU button, deleting Prefs, creating/deleting users.
    Basically everything except installing clean from the Leopard DVD.
    I've just learned to live with the 'fault' and choosing sleep manually.
    If anyone can come up with a solution though, I will be forever in their debt....
    cheers

  • PowerMac won't sleep automatically unless a DVD is inserted

    I have a rather strange issue with my G5 - even though I have selected "Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive for 5 minutes" in System Preferences/Energy Saver, my computer never sleeps. However, when I have a DVD in the tray, the computer sleeps automatically every time. Any idea why a DVD in the tray makes a difference? And how can I have the computer sleep automatically when a DVD is not inserted? Thanks!

    You say a DVD installed. Does it do the same with a CD installed?
    Strange indeed. Look at this link.

  • MacBook Pro won't sleep automatically - no process preventing sleep according to pmset. What's going on?

    i noticed the following problem with my MBP 8,1 running 10.7.2 — automatic sleep just doesn’t happen. Since I usually put my Macbook to sleep manually before leaving the desk etc. I just noticed this issue and can’t really pinpoint it to specific updates.

  • MBP Won't Sleep automatically. Sleep light on. Not pulsing. Drive spinning.

    I can get my new MBP SR to sleep when I tell it to but it won't sleep when it's supposed to according to my Energy Saver preferences.
    Instead of sleeping, the screen goes dark and the sleep light stays on at medium - no pulsing. I can hear the hard drive still spinning. I tried changing my screen saver to one of the original Apple settings (Computer Name) but that didn't help. I'm going to try throwing away my Energy Saver prefs.
    Any suggestions?
    BTW - I took a closer look and I was a bit surprised at how many posts there are for the MacBook Pro on the Apple.com discussions. The most posts per day of any model by far. I know its a very popular Mac but this model seems to have more problems than we are able to solve. That worries me. Anybody else noticing this?
    -Todd

    I had exactly the same issue and needed three hours to find out the reason. It was the Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. I had to disselect the *third option* in the *bluetooth preferences*. I have a German-language OS X so I don't know the exactly expression but it affects the ability for bluetooth devices to weak up the system.
    If you have EyeTV 2: This application must not be running. If you have scheduled recordings that doesn't matter it will record anyway: It will wake up the Mac - record the thing - go to sleep again.
    I have several devices connected to the MBP: Three external enclosures with harddisk drives (2xFW800, 1xUSB without sleep function), EyeTV 610, speakers - all those things did not prevent the system for going to sleep. All those devices can be left attached - up and running. The FW harddisks will go to sleep the USB not.

  • Powerbook G4 won't sleep automatically

    Running 10.4.11 on a Powerbook 5,4.
    Ever since I upgraded my memory from 512MB to 2 GB and my hard drive from 80 to 320 GB, my Powerbook will not automatically sleep either on battery or AC powered. I can force it to sleep using the Apple menu item and also by closing the lid, but the auto sleep function under the Energy Saver does not work.
    I cloned my original hard drive to the new one, so everything else is the same. As suggested elsewhere, I also tried creating a brand new user account to check to see if something is strange in the settings, but the same problem with no auto sleep function occurs on that account. The sleep function also doesn't work if I have no programs running at all except the Finder.
    I have also reset both the PRAM and the PMU. Nothing helps. If I leave the computer, the battery will run down all the way since it never goes to sleep.
    Help.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Do you have bluetooth enabled? I recall someone had an issue where that contributed to not automatically sleeping.

  • Powerbook won't sleep!

    When left unattended my pb will not automatically go to sleep. My settings are set to energy saver. I have had a look on this forum and have seen that other people have this problem but for some reason I cannot seem to sort it out. I have tried re-setting the PMU by pressing shift,ctrl, function and start keys and this doesn't work. Can anyone give me anymore suggestions?
