[G4] Follow-up: Quicksilver Won't Auto Sleep

[jonseward at mindspring.com]

Hi Jim,

Don't recall your specific problem or the other replies...

But, have you been into your system preferences to the 'Energy Saver' set
and made sure that the 
sliders aren't set to 'never'?

Is it possible that preferences in one or more of your applications would
disable Sleep, perhaps to 
avoid interrupting printing routines, rendering, or dowlnoads?

Seems like going back to an earlier OS is a lot of trouble.

All my problems there have been when the hard drive doesn't want to wake
up...

FWIW,

jon

Good Morning, Listas

1. I don't know how to reply to my 9 Jan 05 question (Quicksilver/Panther
Won't Automatically Sleep in Volume 5, Issue 9) that garnered two responses
(9 and 11 Jan) -- would someone please tell me how to continue that thread?

2. I followed the advice given in the responses with no effect on my problem
(thanks for responding).

3. If anybody has any other ideas, please tell me!

4. An Apple Store Genius suggested that I roll back to 10.3.5; that is, to
the point before the problem appeared. I don't know how to do that, but I
suppose I could re-install Panther from my 10.3 disks, then upgrade to
10.3.5. (Could this fix my problem? Perhaps, if it's in the OS rather than a
conflict with something outside the OS. But would I be stuck at 10.3.5 and
unable to upgrade to 10.3.7?)

5. If I re-installed Panther, should I do an "Upgrade" or "Archive and
Install" in order to preserve all my data and settings?

Thanks for sticking with me on this . . .

Jim Thornton
