OS X :: G5 Refuses To Awake From Sleep?
Nov 13, 2009
Running OSX 10.5.8 (plain vanilla installation) when I select "Sleep" it will not awake from sleep. This is on my G5 tower.
Running OSX 10.5.8 (full custom with lots of software)... my system will not remain in Sleep mode for more than 1-2 seconds (re. my previous recent post on this forum... [URL]
Since it will sleep with a minimum installation any ideas on how I can get it to awake from sleep without having to do a hard restart?
If I can get it to awake... then I can trial-and-error it to find out what software is preventing it from going to sleep.

My iMac refuses to sleep no matter what sleep preferences I set or even if I try to sleep it manually (apple>sleep). It doesn't do anything. The display doesn't even dim like it used to a week ago. I don't have anything plugged in but the keyboard and regular mighty mouse, and restart doesn't change anything either. The Apple store installed a new hard drive on the computer a few days ago, since the 1.5 year old one randomly crashed and died. So I don't know what kind of funky things they might have changed, I'm just wondering if there's any simple maneuver I can do to make it sleep like it's supposed to!

Yesterday, I had some issues with my MacBook Pro, the keyboard and trackpad were unresponsive (I tried a USB Keyboard/Mouse, didn't fix the problem), it took 10+ minutes to boot up, and it refused to wake from sleep. So I did some hunting, found out if I removed the FireWire kexts, then that would solve the issue. I removed the kexts, and rebooted it, and everything works perfectly fine, with one exception. Both FireWire ports are undetected and inoperable. Would a OS reinstall fix this, or is it some deeper issue that may require a logicboard/hardware component replacement?

My MBP (about 2 years old, Santa Rosa) is having some major issues both starting up and going into sleep. First off, I'm using 10.5.8, everything's updated, I don't have a bunch of stuff on the startup processes (quicksilver and iTunes helper) and I'm plugged into a power source. When I start my computer (since yesterday) it has been taking an abnormally long time at the grey screen before the Apple, the grey screen with the apple and the rotating wheel, and then it goes to a light blue screen for 5 or so minutes (repeat: minutes) until flashing light and dark blue and finally taking me to the login. Not only that, but my computer will not go to sleep when I close the lid. Instead, the screen turns off and the hard drive and fans keep chugging. What's more annoying is when I then try to open the lid to manually turn it to sleep, the screen won't turn on. This usually requires a hard reset, which then takes 10 minutes to start up.

I have the both the bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I've tried pressing the power button on my Macbook and then closing it immediately, this doesn't seem to work. I've also tried to wake it by click on my mouse and tapping on my keyboard. Does this only work on usb wired keyboard/mice? Is there a trick to this?

Is it safe to keep my iMac (i7, 27") awake all the time? I will of course sleep the displays when I'm not at the machine. The main reason is needing the computer to download files overnight in my ISPs 'free off peak' period.

I have a MacBook Pro. When it goes to sleep it doesn't show the login window when I turn it back on. Is there an option for this?
I don't really shutdown my computer much. And anyone can use if it awakes after sleep mode.

So I have a lot of USB devices plugged into a powered hub and I have a Dell 2408WFP monitor with USB ports.
Often when I awake from sleep the devices plugged into the powered USB hub that's plugged into the 2408WFP which in turn is plugged into my computer are not present until a reboot of the computer.

I know there's an option for this for your internal drive under energy save, and it makes my computer loads faster, but I still use 4 external drives, and when they fall asleep it takes a few seconds before they wake up and it makes my computer feel old again.
Is there away to keep them awake permanently? And if there is, is this a BAD thing? I imagine it's better than the moving parts going over and over when it's waking up multiple times a day.

I downloaded the latest software update for Leopard. I've noticed that when I wake my MBP from sleep, the brightness of the screen is very low. I have to click on "F2" to increase the brightness of my screen.

My mid 2007 macbook pro thinks its asleep when the cover is open but awake when the cover is closed. I was encoding some media files to dvd when a friend accidentally unplugged the power source. The battery drained and I did not notice until it was fully drained. I then went to plug it in and turn it back on and it refused to, I then closed the cover and it awoke as if everything was normal. I opened the cover and I saw it exactly as it should but then the screen went black as if it had gone to sleep. i'd rather not have to purchase a new macbook.

When my screen is closed the computer continues to run, and does not respond when the monitor is reawakened. Furthermore, upon shutdown, I have to remove the battery and reset power management in order to get the computer to turn on. If I just shut it down, the computer refuses to come on, hearing the hard drive make its sound before just going out to lunch.
Disk Utility says the hard drive is okay because it would not get past the black screen.

I recently purchased a mac pro for my work! I just got my memory modules from OWC and i installed them. After installing them, my macpro refuses to boot normally. It keeps going to a black screen that tells me there is no boot disk available and please insert disk and press enter to boot. My bootable HDD is in the HDD bay. I held down the option key and it booted up by selecting the bootdisk. Problem is after i booted up, everything in my Mac OS is lagging. All the applications are lagging. As i am typing this thread, the words that i am typing are really lagging.

I have an audio CD that my PowerBook will not read. I've read this CD in other media drives (such as my car's CD player and another computer's CD player), and I've read a different CD in my Mac's drive.
It appears to me that the issue then is this particular CD and my computer.
First, the CD is in very good condition, with no visible scratches unless you really scrutinize the read side. the label side has no damage at all. It is a 15 year old CD, but was probably played very few times when it was new, and has been simply sitting on a shelf for over a decade.
sometimes I insert the CD and after several seconds of unusual noises from my CD drive, I am able to begin to play it in itunes. However, after 1 to 3 minutes it inevitably will begin to skip so badly that itunes stops playing it, and often hangs up, forcing me to use 'force quit'. other times I insert the CD and after several seconds of unusual noises from my CD drive, the drive simply spits the CD back out, without ever having read it at all.
Is it possible that there was something about the way an older CD is encoded that my mac cannot deal with?

Recently had a costly hard drive replacement which was the result of the mac book pro refusing to boot up! I have, however, got a external hard drive which uses time machine to back up all of my documents. While it seemed to work perfectly, when I really needed it to work it has let me down! It doesn't display any of my photos or music or docs. I believe it could be a problem due to the fact it I've changed hard drive! Its a intel mac if that's info is needed.

When I turned on Caliope -my macbook- yesterday in the morning, she appeared to have problems to boot, there was a grey bar which has never appeared before, the grey bar was loading but hen it reached half way, everything stopped and Caliope crashed -automatically turned off- Been reading about the global crashes, I'd installed SL last weed so I think that's the prob.
I've posting cause I've a LaCie External HD and I could log in using it, I can also log in on my windows bootcamp partition which is called Mathusalem.
Now If I send my Mac to apple repair, there is any need to backup Mathusalem? As it is a partition drive.

so I've had my MacBook for over a year, and I've never had any issues like this before. On my personal account, Safari, FireFox, Opera, and the like cannot access [URL], [URL](or any variation that leads to the same site), any other Google-based websites, my school's online gradebook, nor will it allow me to log into my Yahoo! account, though i can still search on yahoo. I can use the Google search bar at the top of my safari window just fine, but not [URL], as mentioned before.

If mac is left running overnight sometimes on trying to awaken it, The Password entry screen does not allow me to key in anything...
USERNAME is onscreen, cursor/I-beam is blinking in Password Box, my mouse can move the cursor arrow around the screen,. I can position this in the Password Box but no action when I click..Forced to switch off at the box...
This has not always been the case. Mac is infrequently left on overnight, so I cannot attribute any software update or installation as the trigger for this behaviour.MacPro on OS 10.6
Info:
Xserve, Mac OS X (10.6.8), client macminis, and MacPros

This worked before and now it doesn't! I either a hal.dll or ntoskrnl.exe error. This was working perfectly on one 500G HD which OS X does not reside on (OS X is on a 80Gb SSD).
1. 150Gb Windows 7 x64
2. 80Gb Windows XP x32
3. HFS formatted for storage of OS X things.
Now whichever way I install or partition it XP refuses to install after the first reboot (after it's copied files over). Now I've spent TWO days on this now and still no closer to fixing it. Windows 7 boots and works fine, XP refuses to install even if it's the only thing on the disk!

I'm trying to partition my hard drive. It's currently one whole 160 GB unit. I want to split it into a 135 GB partition and a 25 GB partition.
Currently Used Disk Space: 95.10 GB
Currently Free Disk Space: 53.51 GB
However, whenever I try to create the 25 GB partition in Disk Utility (formatted as Mac OS Extended - Journaled) it gives me an error message:
And here's a screenshot of my hard drive's info:

My iBook suddenly just stopped connection to my time capsules network. Everytime I can on my network to join it, it asks for my password which I then put in, then it says connection timeout. I have restarted both the laptop and time capsule but it still won't connect. I can get on the network perfectly fine on my iPhone but not laptop.

Brought snow Leopard from Apple, and got it yesterday. I installed it today, and whilst it seems faster I have a few problems. Mainly that it doesn't seem to boot into 64-bit mode, neither from an app changing it to boot into 64 bit or by pressing the 6 and 4 keys down.
Also, does anyone know why a plugin to make Quicklook have a list view for Folders won't work anymore?

Just bought my first mbp from apple store today and when I get home it refuses to turn on. I got a brick from apple store. Plugged the power in an let it rest for almost half an hour and still won't turn on. Going to apple store Tom morning to demand a replacement. Will apple do anything to compensate for the hassle that I went through?? And the customer satisfaction definitely went down.

So I come home and see that my MBP's battery is dead. I plug it in and it begins to start-up normally but shuts down midway through. I press the power button and keys several times but nothing happens. The weird part is the fans still run and it still gets very hot. When you close it the sleep indicator light still turns on.
Note: I tried to reset the PRAM but nothing happens.
Note2: Its the low end 15' model (arrandale)

I have several iMac systems, all updated to 10.5.3 and running iChat 4.0.3, but only one of them reliably permits me to add new buddies! On my main system I can add a new buddy by selecting an entry from my Address Book, and it adds it to the list grayed out and then makes it solid, apparently after asking the AOL server if it is OK. On the other systems, the entry is added to the list grayed out, and then an alert is displayed and the new entry in removed from the list.
The alert indicates that the server has refused the request! If that same 'buddy' initiates an iChat session, the buddy entry is automatically created and remains in the list and is functional. I have tried trashing all of the related plist files and changing iChat to use port 443, to no avail. It still fails to permit new buddies to be defined (except on my main system, which is working fine). Does anyone know what other differences may exist between the systems that might result in this problem?

I have a 12" iBook G4, 1.07GHz that I'm trying to reinstall OS X on after a hard drive replacement. The new drive is a standard 80GB IDE drive, fresh out of the shrink wrap. Now, when I attempt to run the install it acts rather oddly . . . it runs through the entire install script, but then at the very end errors out and says "try installing again".
I've tried three different OS X install media sets (two DVD and one CDs) and gotten the same result. I've reformatted the drive several times and run the Disk Utility repair tool, which has gone through fine. I've reset the PMU, and pulled the expansion ram and Airport card. Same result.
I'm absolutely at my wits end trying to figure this out . . . . I've tried everything I can possibly think of.
