T61p putting itself in sleep mode while gaming

I got my T61p since January and I'm pretty tired of this issue. I've read on the net that it is an issue with some laptop that has a defective motherboard when using two stick of memory (which is my case). Is there any mean to get this fix?
Everytime I start to game for a little while, I have to use a lapcool or else it shut itself off. The heavier the game, the faster it happen. So please....

I've written my first post a day after I had that shut down I described. Since then, it's running real hot and I'm having trouble with my wireless connexion. I'm having trouble connecting to networks and my download speed is playing yo-yo. HWMonitorPro is currently showing 87 Celcius degree for the CPU (max 95) and my GPU is 71 Celcius degree while in Vista (I haven't gamed with my laptop since I turned it on). The TMH1 sensor is giving 86 Celcius degree right now and has hit 91. I'm pretty sure this is not normal. What should I do?

Imac keeps putting itself into Sleep Mode.

This morning my Imac has put itself into sleep mode twice within an hour - losing everything I was working on. It just goes black and then loads the log in screen.
I've never had this issue before, it's not over heating (not sure if that could be a problem) it's not full up, it's not lagging it's just this problem.
I really cannot afford the time to take my Imac into the store for repair unless ofcourse it's really needed. Can someone help please?
Thank you,

Hi Tori,
Unfortunately I'm unable to help, but I want to add that I had exactly the same problem this morning (Jan 13, 2013)! It was putting itself into sleep mode twice within 5 minutes.
In contrast to TorkiClarkson, the fan of my iMac was blowing hard, but that happened a lot the last months without falling into sleep mode. Actually I'm a bit afraid I've got a heating problem since my warranty of 1 year has experienced..
Hope someone has valuable information for TorkiClarkson and me.
Thanks.

IBook puts itself to sleep and/or shuts down

My gf's iBook G4 (14-inch Early 2004) puts itself to sleep at random. No amount of pressing keys will wake it up, only pressing and holding the power button to shut it off completely, then rebooting, will get it back. Sometimes it shuts itself off completely at random. When starting it back up, it often refuses to boot all the way: will start to display the grey screen, then turn itself off. Resetting the PMU seemed to help for about an hour, then the same problems started again and now I can't get it to boot up at all. It won't even boot up into target disk mode so I can rescue her data with my Powerbook, nor will it boot from CD! Resetting the PRAM had no effect. She's understandably quite upset and thinking of getting a new computer. Is there any less expensive fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
[edit]
By the way, I've read the other threads here describing similar difficulties, but I doubt the problem is the GPU needing to be reballed. The machine won't start up at all, rather than being started but having a black screen.
[Additional info:] I had noticed during it's last successful boot that the battery was dead in spite of the power cord having been plugged in to a working socket for days (and yes I'm sure the socket works). I've also tried with the power cord for my Powerbook with no success, and verified that her power cord works by plugging it into my Powerbook. This is what lead me to try resetting the PMU, but as I said that didn't work. Could it be that the PMU itself needs out-right replacing? If that's possible, is it possible to do so without replacing the entire logic board?

Joel,
I don't think leaving it on all the time was much of a factor other than wearing the battery down faster which, according to Apple, has a approximately a 1-2 year life. Mine went before the 2 years was up and it's $129 to replace it.
Using it with the battery while it's plugged in without air circulation or a laptop cooler might be some extra wear and tear. Mine runs the hottest during that time, but if I unplug it and just use the battery, it cools way down. I'm interested in which iBook your GF has because a friend out of town has been reporting the same problem and I figured she didn't know it was sleeping. Hers is a 14" 1.0ghz I believe.
The case is supposed to be really strong, made out of bullet proof material, so the Apple sales rep told me, and it can survive an accidental minimal drop, unlike the PBs. I haven't tested that, but another friend dropped her 12" the other day, while it was open, and it looks like it just loosened the video cable. I haven't opened it yet to find out.
Is there any chance that the energy control panel was turning it off? Mine turns on EVERY morning at 3:10am even though I have unchecked the box for it to do that. It came that way from Apple and I thought it was so it could run the maintenance tools. I have no idea why it still turns on, but it's not a (future) problem that I know of.

Keeping hard drive in sleep mode while not in use

I've got a spare hard drive in my box, which I'm currently using for backups with rsync scheduled to be done once a day via crond. Since it's only used once a day, I figured it would be a good idea to put it into sleep mode by adding `hdparm -Y /dev/sdb` to my backup script. However, I've got a problem with it randomly waking up while opening GTK save dialogs and such. How can I stop it from doing that or make it automatically go into sleep mode after a set amount of time while keeping my root drive awake at all times? And yeah, I know all the downsides of doing that, but noise is the primary issue here.

You can check laptop-mode-tools for the various tunables they use to optimize disk usage and let it spindown as much as possible.

IMac G5 starts up by itself from sleep mode

Hi Guys,
My iMAC G5 suddenly decided to start up by itself from sleep mode. I put it back to sleep and about 1-2 hrs it starts up again. I bought in 10/04. My local Apple dealer wants $75.00 just to look at it and being a 72 yr old senior, it's a bit stiff.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
chris

OK, if you are sure it is not actually shutting down and restarting (it will do this if you have a defective power supply and "restart automatically after a power failure" enabled in the Energy saver system preferences options), and the problem still occurs with all non Apple USB devices disconnected, then it is probably either a network or a software issue.
Again in the "Energy Saver" Options make sure that "wake for ethernet network administrator access' is turned off.
Now think about any software that may undertake any form of time scheduled activity. Elgato's EyeTV is one example that has sometimes been implicated in this behaviour, but many other things like virus checkers and drive utilities can also be involved. THese sorts of things usually involve components which run in the background even when the primary application itself has been shut down.
You can often get an idea by seeing what is running in the background using "Activity Monitor". Checking your "startup items" is a good idea too in case a software installation has put something there without telling you.
Sometimes these sorts of issues can also involve a computer which is not actually going fully to sleep for some reason. In such cases the screen sleeps but the power light on the computer doesn't start "pulsing" as it should if the computer is snoozing properly .

Energy Saver doesn't put Powerbook into sleep mode

I've noticed many issues with Sleep mode on the PB line, but wondered if anyone else was having this problem:
PB will go to Sleep if it's told to (shut lid, Apple Menu -> Sleep, Logitech Keyboard Sleep/Shutdown button, etc), but it will not put itself to sleep if left idle for ANY amount of time. Does not seem to matter whether or not it's plugged in.
I should not that the screen goes blank, but the hard drive never seems to spin down, little white light on lid release never comes on, etc. So it could be Sleep VS Deep Sleep, don't know really.
Note, this is not unique to my machine; others in the office where I manage systems/network have this problem, and we run a variety of G4 powerbooks 15 " models.
Not really sure when it stopped sleeping (have been on the ball with 10.4.x updates) but has been the case for some time now.
Also, have reset the PMU, and has not made any difference. Any one else having similar issues? Seems to me like Power Management of the G4 may have broken along the way.
Cheers,
J
Powerbook G4 15" Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 GHz

Joe,
No Classic running; haven't had Classic on my system for at least 6 years. You could say that I'm a bit of an OS X biggot, to be honest. No looking back, and all that.
Used Top/Activity Monitor, and nothing running save the daemons/procs that usually appear - certainly nothing that jumps out at me as a problem. Even disabled all virus checking just to make sure it hadn't developed an incompatability with something in one of the last updates - no effect. Seriously, this is a case of 'it worked yesterday, and now (post updates) it doesn't.' Not that it's evident what the culprit is; nothing on the 10.4.8 updates seems a likely candidate, nor does anything on the 10.4.7. And not that I could even pin point when it happened either - simply became evident over time that hard drive wasn't spinning down, Sleep light wasn't coming on, etc.
I'm tempted to fish out my ol' TI Book 400, and give it a go and see if it has problems. Would at least eliminate any hardware dependencies that might be an issue. Don't know that I can be bothered though - in the grand scheme of things, it's just a minor thing and digging much deeper would require effort that would get in the way of real work.
In any case, all suggestions are welcome and help is appreciated.
Jeff

PB puts itself to sleep when in use

The powerbook will put itslef to sleep with no warning. I will be working as normal on my computer and all of a sudden the computer diplay will go black, and the sleep light will begin to blink. I am not certain if the hardrive also goes to sleep, but im pretty sure it does. Sometimes it will happen as soon as I rewake it, and in most cases this ends in the computer freezing and forcing me to remove the battery and AC adapter to simply restart it.
I have tried reseting the power management unit, removing external devices, and instructing the computer to not sleep at all. It seems to happen at random, for instance, atm, it seems to be working fine, but it could go to sleep at any second.

I have had the worst time with my PB for about a month now. It all began when my hard drive crashed. I Replaced the HD.
Reloaded and updated the OS and all software.
Then, after about a week of everything running like it should, I began to have problems brought on by encrypting my data. My PB began to freeze. I spent about - and I'm not exaggerating - 3 1/2 hours on the phone with Apple Care. Finally had to zero out my hard drive and - once again - reload EVERYTHING.
Everthing was fine for about a week and then, out of the blue, my PB would go into sleep mode - while I was typing.
I spent another 2 hours on the phone with Apple Care. Finally had to zero out my hard drive and reload everything - AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Imagine the frustration when - after I reloaded everything which takes at least 3-4 hours (after downloading upgrades and all) within 15 minutes it went back into sleep mode while I was typing!!!
At this point I was just about ready to throw it out the window.
Instead, I brought it to the Genius Bar.
They took it in and replaced the mother board (the error log stated something about a printer error though it wasn't on line with the printer).
I got the PB back the next morning and began to check my email when - guess what happens - yep, it went to sleep while I was typing!!!
Each time it went to sleep I was able to wake it up after about 10 seconds by pressing a key. It would stay on for about 7 - 10 seconds before it would die again. After going through this cycle about 10 times it wouldn't wake up until I removed the battery. When I turned it on this last time I went immediately to the error log to see what was happening and this time it said "excessive temperature".
Okay, so I went back to the Genius bar (amazingly, no blood was shed), and this time they sent it somewhere to be fixed.
I'm waiting for it to come back. Though with all the problems I've been having with it I'm actually quite afraid of getting it back and having this or something else happen.
I've got to say - through all this - the only reason I'm still sane is that everyone that has assisted me, whether on the phone with Apple Care or at the Genius Bar, has been absolutely fantastic! I love those guys! And, I love my PowerBook - I just want it back - the way it was - before all this started happening!
I've been doing a lot of searching regarding this problem and - although Apple techs seem to have never heard of this problem before(???) - it has been happening to A LOT of people that have PowerBook G4's 15" and 17" built during 2005. It has to do with the TrackPad Sensor going haywire and the Topcase must be replaced - perhaps the motherboard as well.
If you speak with an AppleCare tech tell him to read this: http://communitymx.com/search.cfm?searchtype=Basic&searchbox=PowerBook+Sleep&sub mit2=Search&shortLong=1&searchinside=0
GOOD LUCK!

What do I do when my mac won't start up? I put it in sleep mode after installing the latest OS Lion update and now it won't open up.

Near new mac pro retina, updated OS last night, re-started, finished my work & put it into sleep mode. On power, & hooked up to Thunderbolt screen. Got up this morning and it won't boot up. Is there anything I can do myself, or is this a shop problem?

Sounds like a #1 SMC or #2 PRAM reset is in order.

Thanks Chris The phone has been great until this morning. When using the camera it seemed to shut down, then it was just looping the restart, and finally into recovery It never rains but pours Thanks anyway
BTW, the phone has never been jailbroken or anything. Stock standard

MacBook Pro mid 2010 putting itself to sleep and restarting on wake-up?

My mid 2010 MacBook Pro has recently started having a lot of problems. It will put itself to sleep whilst I am working on it, and when I try tp wake it up it restarts showing a message saying 'Your computer restarted because of a problem. Press any key to continue..' however it doesn't tell me what the problem is. This can happen every 5 minutes or once an hour but it is becoming very irritating. I have previously done a PRAM and SMC restart, they made no difference. I can't think of any recent programmes I have installed to cause this problem, other than updating to mountain lion 10.8.5. Im not very computer savvy either, so understanding much of what is online is not easy.

You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. It may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the replacement program only applies within three years of purchase. If you wait beyond that date, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you'll be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a depot repair. The model was discontinued in February 2011, so the replacement program will be ending quite soon.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired under the program, and you don't want to pay for a new logic board, you may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Powerbook keeps putting itself to sleep

My powerbook goes through phases where it puts itself to sleep over and over again. I may get a few seconds to maybe a minute before it goes back to sleep. I'll be working or using the trackpad or whatever and it will do it anyways. I usually have to reboot in order to get it to fix itself, but sometimes it starts sleeping before I can even log in. This problem happens both with the power adapter plugged in and when running on battery. The battery is fully charged. My power and energy saver settings are normal, it shouldn't be going to sleep every 2 seconds. I read some stuff about resetting pram, tried it, didn't do anything (could I have not reset the pram correctly?) Also, I read something about resetting PMU (I think that's what it's called), followed the steps, and so far it hasn't happened again but I'm not too hopeful. This is supposedly a known powerbook problem - anybody have a solution?

Hi, jmenking. I've read every entry on these Titanium Powerbook forums for almost two years, and I don't recall ever seeing this problem reported here before, so I question whether it's really a "known Powerbook problem", at least with the Titanium models. Is yours Titanium (with most of its ports on the back panel betwen the two hinges) or Aluminum (most ports on the side panels)?
It sounds as though there may be a problem with the reed switch built into the latch assembly inside your display bezel, which is supposed to put the Powerbook to sleep when you close the display. The switch is normally activated by a strong magnet inside the display latch button, but it sounds as though your switch is either being activated when it shouldn't by some other magnet in its near vicinity (this doesn't seem likely unless you have magnets strewn about your workspace), or is broken, and closes the circuit when it shouldn't. I would suggest taking your Powerbook to an Apple dealership for a look-over or calling one or more of the shops listed below for advice. If the switch is bad, the repair is definitely a job for a technician — it's not a do-it-yourself proposition at all.

My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode

My ipod touch 4 put itself into recovery mode and when i plugged it in it asked me restore it, i clicked restore and it extracted the software then crashed, leaving it with no software. i then gave it to my nearest apple store and the guy said it cant be fixed telling me it was a hardware problem. Any suggestions as to what it could be and if it can be fixed? I really appreciate it

What crashed?
iTunes? The whole computer?
What do you mean by crashed?

I have a dual 1.8 ghz pwer pc g5 and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here?

and sometimes i put it in sleep mode and come home on my lunch break and the fan is running at full speed and the computer has frozen up...what is going on here? is it a virus or has my computer been hijacked? it cant be good for the computer...anyone ever had this problem..?

Your problem has been reported many times, but causes are as varied as individuals.
Can we assume that a hard shutdown allows a normal restart?
Can I assume that you have used Disk Utility from your OS X install disc to repair the hard drive directory? The freezes and hard shutdowns require that the drive be repaired (not permissions) or soon the machine won't boot at all.
If the root issue is software related, in Console (the application) under Logs, there should be loggings around the time of sleep and logs that tell you what process went wild and froze the machine.
Network activity is also a common casue.
Other info:

If hardware related, such as an external drive, other USB device (Wacom tablet) or USB PCI card, ejecting, disconnecting, removing, or in the case of the Wacom, updating drivers, are all potential remedies.

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

Is it best to turn off your computer or put it in sleep mode.

Is it best to turn off your computer or put it in sleep mode.
I have a MAC Book Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Well. Apple recommends to put the Mac into sleep mode if you are going to use your Mac after a short period of time, and they only recommend to turn it off when you are not going to use the computer for several days.
In sleep mode, your Mac consumes only a small battery capacity, so it's worth to put it in sleep mode. Also, it's much faster than turning the computer on every time you want to use the Mac
