Well, I am in a situation where I don't have a keyboard for my iMac. I forgot that I didn't have a keyboard and my mac is glitchy (I can't turn it off through a menu or it will restart itself). I did not feel like forcing it to turn off by holding the power button in, so I put it to sleep before it fully booted. For example, programs that start up at boot my not be fully loaded before I would sleep it. Parts if the interface may also not be loaded. I would also appriciate it if you could not criticize me as I am not a mac expert. Just a mac lover ;)
One mans trash is another mans treasure. In my case, this happens to be with old Macs :) On Feb 15, 2010, at 11:51 AM, Bill Chapman <pagew...@interlog.com> wrote: 'sleep while booting up'... yeah right.... sounds like this guy is pranking...

Why are you sleeping it (or trying to) during boot? How are you sleeping it? When the HD is "waking" is the power light pulsing? -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
