[QUOTE="EAR, post: 1362882, member: 235135"] I try to put the "computer" to sleep with Mac OS 10.4.11 (16! Apple added a pile of updates after the .11 Combo update) over a G5, model 7,3 with 2 PPC G5(3.1) cpu:s fully firmware updated and all wake up options unchecked in the OS and no antivirus, security, or "cleaning" software installed or MacKeeper and no user programs open. I have set the screen saver to open after 10 minutes (to warn me), the screen to sleep after 15 minutes and the"computer" to sleep after 30 minutes. I have to enter password to open the screen in all cases. However, the screen saver appears to remain open and 'buzzes' the "computer" alive every 10 minutes, but not the screen. Glancing over similar and related issues (e.g. Energy Saver) in other threads, I find that Apple has a can of worms here and reaching all the way through 10.7. How does one reach Apple and persuade it to clean up from 10.4 and all the way up ? :Not-Amused: [/QUOTE]
