Hello Diane:
One, I assume you have set the energy control panel to never sleep,
closed Preferences, open Preferences, reset sleep setting. This can
over write bad preference settings. You can also find the energy
control panel settings cache (with other personal account cached
settings in "your account name/Library/Caches/
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache") and delete them. Preferences need
to be reentered.
Etc.
Hi Bob,
I had not done any of what you suggested, as it's always been like
this. But it was pretty good for over a month, except if I left it
with the dashboard up and running - maybe my radar widget prevents
it from sleeping.
After I got your reply, I did try setting it to never, exiting, and
resetting it. Repaired permissions. Eventually it would sleep again.
I lost power for a few minutes one day last week and it has not gone
to sleep since <sigh>
So now I will step through the rest of your suggestions.
Again, this machine has always behaved like this since I got it 10
years ago. As a matter of fact, if you had asked me I would have
said I *don't* have sleep turned on as it just never went to sleep
at all. When it did in December, I feared my PS was going again as
that's what used to happen, I'd leave it on overnight and it would
be off in the morning due to the failing PS. The only way to get it
back on then was to unplug it and hit the power button. This time it
really was sleeping, and I kind of liked it!
Hopefully it will kick itself back in again.
Thanks!
Your welcome. In the old days (15 years ago) we didn't bother with
sleep because it didn't work very well or save much power. Sleep is
really just a luxury. Off and on is usually the best way. Good luck
with your power supply.
Bob
