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.

Two, PRAM (Apple key, Option key, P, R at the same time on
computer start from computer off) and Power Manager reset.  PMU
reset proceeds as:  Turn computer off, wait ten seconds, pull
plug, pull ALL wires from computer, open case, find small Surface
Mount Device (SMU) button labeled PMU on motherboard next to two
ATA cable attachments to motherboard.  Leave battery in
motherboard.  Wait five minutes or so.  Press button ONCE firmly
and release immediately, same as when you use the power button to
start the computer.  Attach power cable, keyboard, video.  Start.
 If the computer will not start, repeat PMU reset procedure, but
try to press the button more quickly.  You may need to reset PRAM
after this to get complete start.

You can also try to find the procedure on the web, but I didn't
find any specific for the MDD.  What I have given you worked for
my MDD.



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 


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.




You could ty and extend the life of the PS by powering the drives 
separately. Find a AT PS (has a switch) or a external  bare drive adapter
 


and use the power supply with PS y cable adapter(s).

Samples:
SATA version



sata/molex


2 molex


these come in different ends to meet your needs.

May need to leave case door ajar. If over heating occurs use a 12 volt 
fan on external power (I use a 12 volt wall wart.)

Re: Jury/jerry rigging.

2013-02-17 Thread Bill Connelly 
You know, not all of my responses are getting through to the G3-G5 list ...

And my post to Mac Pro aren't getting up on the Mac Pro board ... having been 
scolded for trying to publish them here ...

I believe my posts have been banned by the Nannie, or at least have to be 
reviewed first ...

So why is all this rigging stuff going through, when it has nothing to do with 
computers, much less G3-G4 or G5s?

Guess this list needs less jerry-rigging ...

process seems broken.

> "Jerry rig / Jury rig

Years ago, on a remote island in the northern Lau group of the Fijian
chain,
where we did a lot of "jury rigging", I  thought the term was "jerry
rig".

So, a friend and I conspired that if we ever got back to the "main
land"
we'd start a school and call it the "Jerry Rig School of Construction
and Maintenance".
We'd issue fancy diplomas (mail order only of course) that displayed
our mottos, viz.
   1. We may be slow but at least we're expensive.
   2. We save you money because we don't use tape measures.
   3. We guarantee 1/4 inch tolerance.

Now, I see we confused the terms: we were "jury rigging" but
our creed describes "jerrybuilding".

Nevertheless, Jerry Rig lives on and continues to respond to our needs
when low or no budget constraint demand.
However, now we call his work, "cardboard solutions".

Someone else believes thusly:

JURY rigged is sailing term, as in Mast. "rigging" the mast or sails. "Jerry" 
rigged is a Slap at German's at the end of WWII, Nazi's to be exact...when they 
started to run otu of supplies and needed to "fix" thangs! Thus Jerry rigged, 
meaning put together crumily..

I also agree its best not to use the N-word even when explaining racist

supply is apparently dead.

All works fine, but I would be even happier if the "eject" button on
