benos Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've googled the crap out of this and can't find anything (helpful). Equipment: Mac Pro Tower Snow Leopard 10.6.8 30" Cinema Display The computer has not been able to fully go to sleep since I bought it. (A refurb, but not from Apple's refurb store.) "Wake for network access" is not checked in the System Prefs. I've disconected everything (inc. the monitor) from the back of the computer and it still won't go to sleep.

benos Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 That's a good resource. I searched the crap out of it and found a few "no-sleep" issuses, but not exactly like mine. So I started a thread on it. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgnoyes Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I don't know. When I ran 10.6, it went to sleep just fine. Since you're two full versions backleveled, have you thought about upgrading to 10.8.2 Mountain Lion? (Assuming this is an Intel machine.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 My gut feeling, at this point in my research, is that it is a hardware issue. Here's a thread (with more details) that I started in the mac discussions forums: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20214868#20214868 I don't want to go to Lion because of losing Rosetta with Lion. (I still depend on a lot of apps that require Rosetta, so I definitely don't want to try LIon as an experiment.) Also, I have another machine in the office configured hardware and software-wise, that are identical. And the other machine sleeps just fine.
