OS X V10.5 Leopard :: IMac Keeps Going Into Sleep Mode?
Feb 19, 2012My iMac keeps going into sleep mode (at least that what it looks like) for no apparent reason.
By "sleep mode" I mean the screen goes black, the sleep light fades on and off, as if it were in sleep mode, and the fan shuts off. When I press enter, it turns back on and the fan turns on very hight and loud.

IMac :: New 27" Imac Takes Ages To Go To Sleep?
Aug 15, 2010just purchased a new 27" Quad core i5 and it takes about 5 seconds for it to go to sleep, and then makes a loud noise after.
My hard drive is also noisy, it whines and drums constantly.
I also have got yellow tint on all sides of the screen.
I live in NZ so if i will not get a new replacement, instead it will be sent away to apple which will take forever
by the way it is the older 27" (late 2009) version.

Feb 28, 2006It used to go to sleep without any problems after 20 mins or whatever I had set it to, but recently it won't do it. I repaired permissions, zapped the PRam and turned off my 3rd party screen saver but still no change.

Nov 23, 2009I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue.
It fails to sleep after the given time. Screen dims but I can still hear it running.
If I manually put it to sleep, it clearly makes noise (hard drive parks heads).
IMac :: Does Not Go To Sleep?
Mar 10, 2010I just received my new iMac and everything looks great and seems to work fantastic compared to my 9 year old Power Mac G4. I set in my System Preferences under "Energy Saver" for my Mac to go to sleep (Hard Drive) after 20 minutes. My Mac does turn the monitor off but it doesn't go to sleep unless I choose "Sleep" when leaving my computer.

Aug 31, 2009Late 2008 MacBook, online via WiFi. Since upgrading to 10.6, about 50% of the time I wake the lappy, apps cannot resolve hostnames. Ping by IP and dig to resolve names works on the command line. However, no apps can get DNS. Safari and Firefox report "offline" mode. Anyone else see this? A reboot is the only fix I've found, and that's a pain.

Sep 18, 2009Sleep Mode does not seem to be working automatically in Snow Leopard. It sleeps when activated from the Apple Menu but not when set to sleep in Energy Saver Preference Pane. The screen dims, goes black but the computer does not seem to sleep nor does the hard drive spin down. Anyone else having a problem like this? It was working fine in Leopard (just noticed this problem now, but have had Snow Leopard installed for a couple of weeks and never noticed it)

Running all the latest software updates etc. When I put the iMac to sleep, it goes off as normal. With the usual white light.

Nov 5, 2009I recently had a hard drive failure in my imac which i replaced with the the samsung drive listed below and a fresh install of snow leopard. Now i am experiencing a problem when waking my mac from sleep. about 50% of the time when it wakes it will immediately freeze which can only be resolved by a reboot. Could this be caused by this new drive being a "green" drive that conserves more energy when asleep by going into a slower state than a typical drive or is this a software issue?

IMac :: Comes Out Of Sleep Automatically?
Jun 3, 2010Whenever I put my iMac to sleep it comes out of sleep immediately but the second time it goes to sleep and stays asleep.
I believe this is due to the bluetooth mouse I'm using however I have the setting to allow bluetooth to wake the mac turned off. Is there anyway I can pinpoint exactly what's causing this.
OS X :: IMac Not Go To Sleep Due To Inactivity
Aug 20, 2010I have a C2D iMac about 3 years old, with 10.6 and all the updates. I have it set to go to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. Sometimes at night I will use it to listen to a podcast or watch a TV show. When I do this, it never goes to sleep. It's always still on when I wake up. The display will sleep, but not the computer. I can put the computer to sleep myself through the Apple menu, but it never sleeps due to inactivity.
I'm worried that having the computer on 8 hours a night due to this problem will shorten its lifespan. Does anyone have an idea of what may be causing it? Does it have something to do with webpages being open? I always have Safari open. It's easier to leave pages open than it is to go through dialog boxes and menus to create and delete bookmarks all the time.

Imac Won't Go Into Sleep Mode
Mar 27, 2012My parents just bought a new Imac (3.4 Ghz/I7) which is running 10.6.8. and we cannot figure out why it won't go to sleep automatically. In System Preferences/Engergy Saver we have set both the "computer sleep" and "display sleep" to about 5 minutes, but no matter what we do it keeps showig the screen saver and never goes to sleep. The "put hd to sleep" is checked, and the start screen saver is set to roughly the same amount... I have tried adjusting these settings, to no avail.

Nov 9, 2007after having installed Leopard, my Mac doesn't go to sleep anymore. When I activate the sleep mode, it begins to "shut down" and the fans begin to blow.

Aug 30, 2009My MacBook Pro will not go to sleep after installing Snow Leopard. It WILL go to sleep if I close the lid; however, if I have it sit open for 15 minutes, it won't go to sleep. It attempts to sleep, but instead the screen will just go black for less than a second. It's just like a flash of black, and then the screen goes back to normal. It simply won't sleep.

IMac :: Sleep Noise - How To Stop It
Dec 11, 2010I have seen several threads on the Internet but never an answer to the noise problem Imacs seem to have when in sleep mode. We have an Imac, 27' 10.6.5 2TB bought this summer, in the bedroom which we use as a TV. When we go to sleep we put the Imac to sleep as well with the remote and the ZZZ on the screen. During the night however the Imac fan or harddisk starts to spin as if the whole thing is going to startup but then it winds down again and it does this every hour or so. It is so loud that it wakes us up. Some nights it does it some nights it doesn't. Before we actually had the screen come on too but now it doesn't do that anymore.
