Re: Sleep issue on G4 Tower
Hi, Al ~ The internet connectivity might be it. I upgraded to cable a while ago, but this has been happening for a while also. If I unplug temporarily from the cable modem (well, the Airport Express that is plugged into the cable modem) might that help? I *think* I may have noticed if Firefox is not running it is better. Will see. Thanks. On Tuesday, November 4, 2008, at 12:31 PM, Al wrote: > > On Nov 3, 7:21 pm, Anne Keller-Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hi - it has decided to have insomnia.

My G4 Quicksilver 733mHz Tower sleeps well only when running OS 9.2.2. When running OS 10.3.9 Panther, only the screen would sleep, the hard drives keep running until I shut down. There could be many suspect reasons for this, and I never spent the time to isolate the one. In my case, I suspect something involving internet connectivity via cable, or my Canon scanner which draws its power from the Mac, or the Epson printer?

Sleep issue on G4 Tower
Hi - it has decided to have insomnia. Used to sleep really well. Sometimes it will sleep after a minute which is how I set it in Energy Saver. But the hard disk doesn't go to sleep. When I select sleep under the Apple Menu it wakes up after about 5 seconds. Any ideas? The fan broke once and so I am leery of letting it be awake with the fan running all the time.
