Not Waking from Sleep
Authored by: gsgm on Feb 13, '03 02:07:25PM

I've had a similar problem that has been bugging mys system as well, however it is that my iMac won't wake from sleep.

I'll see if it is also related to the "timers" that you mentioned.

To discribe the issue, after a period of inactivity, the hard drive will stop and a screen saver starts. (I can wake the computer at this point however, I get asked for the user password twice). If the iMac sits idle longer though, the screen eventually blanks.

Before it completly powers down (throbbing power switch) it is at this point that I cannot wake the computer 90% of the time.

My wife seems to have the most difficulty waking the machine back up. She does use some older OS 9 apps, so it is possible the problem is with that. It is also possible that it is something in her profile (She has a seperate login then I)

Not Waking from Sleep

I am having the exact same problem with my G3 desktop. I have basically a clean install of Jaguar with the 10.2.3 upgrade. Does anyone know of a fix to this problem? The screen just stays black, and I have to hit the power button on the front and restart it. It happens a few times a day.
