In the past month, my usually trusty G5 has taken up a bad habit of refusing to sleep properly. About one time in twenty, it will shut down the displays but not (as far as I can tell) anything else (fans still spinning, pulsating light won't come on). And it will refuse to wake up: I'll be forced to shut it down by holding the power button. I can't reproduce this reliably, so it's a little difficult to troubleshoot, naturally. Any hints of things I should look at or try doing? Current peripherals are: Cinema display; Dell monitor; Logitech RF wireless keyboard / mouse; FW400 hard drive; USB2 hard drive; Logitech 2.1 speaker system; sometimes iPod mini. (I don't think it's the iPod. It used to sometimes wake itself back up immediately after sleeping with the iPod plugged in, but this new problem has happened both with and without the iPod attached.)
I have an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.11, that has just had the hard drive replaced. When the computer goes to sleep it will not wake up, an in order to restart it I have to disconnect the power adapter and close it. I have it set to put the computer to sleep never, but eventually the computer--or at least the display--will sleep and not wake up without a restart.
My G4 Rev E PowerBook won't wake from sleep. The battery died and the computer slept, but now when I boot it, it gets to 3.5 progress bars and freezes. I have tried rebooting but I can't seem to get out of the resume from sleep mode.
Any ideas? It doesn't show the grey Apple screen like it does from a fresh boot, just the progress bars that show up when the battery dies.
I am running os 10.4.11 on a g4 dual 1 ghz powerpc g4 with 1mb l3 cache and 512 mb ram. Ever morning when I try to wake the computer up it crashed. I get a screen full of black bars with white text. Such stuff as "corrupt skip list code= 00000007 and exception state (sv=0x1ceb500)
I have booted from system cd and ran utilities. I have ran onyx. I have reinsalled the system from the cd and re-updated the system still with the same results.
Recently my powerbook g4 aluminum 15" won't wake from sleep mode, and i can't turn it off with the button. When the computer does turn off the only way i can get it back on is to open it up and reset the logic board by disconnecting the back up battery for a little bit. I've tried reseting the PMU,
I have a PowerBook 12" on Tiger, 10.4.11. It is having occurrences of waking despite the closed cover. The cycles of wake/sleep are sometimes quite fast (seconds). I fear thrashing the HD. Here are excerpts from system log, followed by console log. The latter shows repeated instances of: AlsPB12 /usr/sbin/AppleFileServer: AppleFileServer ResetATalkService race detected. Which seems to implicate ATalk - is that AppleTalk? What relevance does AppleTalk have in today's systems?

I have a PowerMac G5 2.0Ghz Dual Processor system that I m using with the newer slim Apple Keyboard and Apple Optical mouse. When I try to "wake" the G5 from sleep with either the mouse or keyboard, it wakes up, and simply goes back into sleep mode, however, if I "wake" the G5 from the power button it remains awake.
When I try to print from my Powerbook G4 to my HP 6500 wireless printer it will not work. I have found out that if I turn off/on the printer then it will print. So, it must be an issue with the computer not waking the printer from a sleep mode. Anyone have a solution to this that doesn't consist of me turning off then on the printer? I have tried to reinstall a few times with no avail.
This problem just started happening on my 2005 Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3Ghz Processors.
I activate sleep, and it refuses to wake up again. Then after a few minutes the fans slowly increase in speed until the computer begins to sound like an aeroplane taking off, at which point I'm forced to perform a forced shutdown.
I've resetted the PMU and it doesn't seem to have worked. It is fully up-to-date in Software Update and is running the latest version of OS X Leopard.
On my sister's iBook (12 in, 1.2GHz, running OS X 10.3.9), the Microsoft Office Suite and AppleWorks (possibly others, but I haven't discovered them, so I'm assuming just those two) all refuse to open. If I double-click them or click the Dock icon, they bounce once, then stop. Nothing else happens at all. I've repaired permission, trashed preferences, and reinstalled the applications, all to no avail. This is really weird and annoying, and though she can use Pages for now, she'd like to have those at least operational. Anyone have any ideas? I used to be an Apple Tech, but I don't have the diagnostics I had then, and I haven't seen anything like this anyways, so I don't know where to go from here.
My apple computer refuses to turn on when me card reader is connected via the usb . It works ok no problem , it seem ok to me is there a problem with it should i be concerned?
Once asleep and enters hibernation, the laptop will not start up. Even after I hit the space bar. The "sleeping light" stops going on and off and just sticks on and the screen stays un-lit. I am then forced to shut it off, so I will hold the power button down until I hear the hard drive shut down and then start it back up.
Then one of two things happen; either it starts up nicely or it starts up and remains with no display and I am forced to hard restart again. I have found that if my external HD is plugged into the USB port upon start up it will get stuck in start up; it will keep starting up the main hard-drive and nothing happens so I have to hard shut off and unplug the external and then start again. I have been trying to keep music going on my machine to avoid hibernation, but night times kinda suck.
There's a certain website that I visit regularly, but I can't seem to be able to visit it ever since I downloaded the new Leopard 10.5.6. I restarted then tried to open it but it says "Safari can't open the webpage" and when I tried FireFox it said the same thing.
So I tried opening the site from another computer, it worked. I have a wireless network, the site isn't blocked or protected I was able to visit it right until I downloaded the new version of Leopard. I can do to open the site? It's a regular site that isn't a threat to anything. Can you tell me what's wrong with my Mac?
About a week ago I received my new battery due to the recall. The last few days my power book has been great when I open my power book today it will not wake up. So i figured I would plug it in. The light stays green, does not change to orange, and still continues not to wake up. Even taking the battery out and trying to turn it doesn't work. Power cord stays green then as well.
My phone calls and it's my (pc-centric) friend Kasper. He's on msn with his girlfriend in Switzerland and she's panicking. She's just accidentally moved her desktop (including everything on it off course) to the trash. She's also trashed Skype (might have been on desktop?!?). And now she can't move it back out again!Unfortunately I'm not the master of Macs that Kasper hopes and I've no idea what to do about this except try to restart. To calm his girlfriend down I've told him to tell her that I'll be back in 30 min. with expert advice from Macrumors... So, what advice should I pass on to him to her?
iMovie is driving me round the bend.I have videos in .MTS, .AVI, .MOV formats and iMovie basically refuses to import any of them!!!
I have used handbrake to convert an AVI to MP4 and iMovie sees the file, imports but all i get is a blank screen? The file plays ok just starting it from desktop.
I have a problem with my macbook. Recently after a software update it started freezing when live streaming from the net. Than the problem continued to airport it either does not turn on or it shows it on but still no connection to the net if i connect via Ethernet and leave airport on Ethernet will disconnect and unable to reconnect again if i turn airport of at least Ethernet works. Freezing happens after a longer period of sleep mode.
Just added 11 tracks to iTunes and was sorting them via the info Tab, name of track artwork etc, when adding artwork to the tracks some tracks refuse to retain the picture. Seven out of the 11 tracks refuse to retain the artwork to be exact. I have never had this happen before so a bit confused at the moment
Had a breach on my gmail a couple of days ago and changed my password but then, the iCal on my Air then stopped syncing with my Gmail calender even when I checked that the password was correct. It just keeps saying:
iCal found a CalDav server but couldn't login with the username. Make sure username and password are correct and try again.
I've done the following:
1) Deleted off iCal and tried to reinstall 2) Tried to install as CalDav with the /calendar/dav/username@gmail.com/user/ with 443 SSL
Any applications that needs to wake up my Mac just won't. I have no clue what is wrong and why these won't work.
For example: -Awaken (for alarms) -EyeTV3 (for show recordings)
I really want to get this fixed. Now I can't rely on Awaken or EyeTV to really do anything unless I'm there waking up my Mac on time. And I don't want to leave my Mac awake 24/7.
Every couple of days, after my screensaver has been running for a few minutes... both of my monitors will shut off. Then no matter what I do, they won't turn back on again. The only way to get them working again is to do a forced restart.
I have an intel based mac pro running tiger. When it falls asleep if it's asleep for an extended period of time...say 45 minutes or longer, it won't wake up. I have to manually power it down. If it's asleep for less than 45 minutes it wakes up fine.
How can one wake an '09 mac pro through the internet, not just the local network? Previously, i had an old mac always on, and had a script to wake the mac pro when i emailed it "wake". but i don't have that other mac any longer.I understand that the new airport extreme may be able to do it? How exactly? Through the internet?
I have a MacPro Dual 3GHz, running OS 10.5.8 and when my Mac goes to sleep, it won't wake up. Fans speed up and light blinks, but I have to do a hard reboot.
This just started yesterday. My wife's MacBook pro will not wake after sleep. The screen remains black though the keyboard lights up. No amount of tapping on the keys or trackpad lights up the screen. When I restart, all is well again. What do I need to do?
I have a macbook pro running 10.5. it will not wake up after a powerdown or sleep. I have tried the apple resets but it only comes on after pushing the start button about 50 times. I can hear the fan and the light from the push button comes on.
If I'm away from my computer for awhile, it goes to sleep and won't wake up. Hitting Return or other keys won't help; nor does pushing the Start button on the back. The only solution I've found is to unplug the computer, re-plug, then start again.
Just got a new Mac pro and installed an SSD as the boot drive. I was downloading some apple software updates and left the machine alone to download for an hour.Came back and it was asleep or hibernating (is there a difference?)At that point I clicked the mouse and I could hear it start back up but NOTHING came on the screen, just black.I could press a key on the keyboard and hear the error type noise so the desktop was active, just not being displayed.
I disconnected my mini display port (I have a 24' Apple cinema LED display) and plugged it into the second mini display port on the back and it came back on.Anyone know what this could be?A result of an SSD boot drive or do I need my LED display plugging into a particular mini display port out of the 2 on the graphics card?
