Pismo sleep problems

2003-05-29 Thread Jeff Hubatka
I have a Pismo 500, 512MB, 20GB running 9.2. It wouldn't go to sleep at all even though the Energy Saver CP told it to after 10 minutes, and if I chose that from the Special menu, it said I was missing a software component. So I did a clean re-install of 9.2.1 last night, and then I tested it

OS X stops charging when it reaches (usually 90-90%), to prevent lots of rapid discharges and re-charges damaging the battery. Your iPod is probably drawing charge and affecting this, disconnect the iPod and see what charge you reach before it stops, if it is still 88%, phone Apple support.
