TICKET ARCHIVE -> iBook G4 wont stay asleep.
Alex - Jul 2, 2006 - 7:47 am
My 1.33 GHz G4 iBook w/ 768MB refuses to stay asleep!
If I close the lid on the iBook it often wont even go to sleep right away. I have to open it and manually put it to sleep.
Once in sleep mode, it'll often flicker on and off. I don't know what the deal is. I'll be laying in bed and see my iBook turn on and off.
Its no good!
I'm currently running 10.4.6, I'm updating to .7 right now, but I doubt thats the case. If it is I'll close the ticket. It seems like something is accessing the computer telling it to wake up. It is not connected to any internet connections and airport is turned off. Bluetooth is also turned off and i dont think I have anything that could turn it on anyways.
Any help is much appreciated!

Some one had a similar issue, so I will copy-paste what the tech in this issue said:
It appears to be a Rendevous issue. If you are not using Rendevous for printing or network services, look at disabling it.
If you want to prevent Rendezvous from running on the system, move
/System/Library/StartupItems/mDNSResponder directory to a backup location and restart the system.
In order to do this, you must be root, or use sudo from the command line:
sudo mv /System/Library/StartupItems/mDNSResponder ~/Desktop
That will move the file to your desktop.
Now reboot the machine. ***NOTE we've just broken ALL SERVICES THAT RELY ON Rendezvous on this box. That means no iTunes music sharing, no local iChat using Rendezvous, no Rendezvous file-shares or printers, etc
If you need to roll this back, simply issue this command:
sudo mv ~/Desktop/mDNSResponder /System/Library/StartupItems/
...and then reboot. All will be well again.
Let me know how this works!!!! If it doesn't, you can also try running Geeklog against the built-in Apache service, and disable mod_rendezvous.
If you need more info please tell me.
Thanks,
