10.4.9 broke sleep

I always used to use Cmd-opt-eject to sleep my PB, but since 10.4.9 this doesn't work any more. Am I the only one affected like this?

Since 10.4.9 you need to press the eject key (and any combination of keys with the eject key) a bit longer.

I've had a problem waking my G5 since 10.4.9.

Hoho! So you do. Thanks for that.

Cmd-opt-eject? How did Macs ever get the reputation for being intuitive to use?

Or you can use the menus: Apple-Sleep
or press Power and click the sleep button
or press power and S for sleep.

Keyboard shortcuts are hardly ever going to be "intuitive" except for the ones marked with little speaker icons for 'louder' and 'softer', but menus are just a matter of looking to see what's available. Fairly intuitive if you understand the mouse/menu interface.

I haven't seen it much since 10.2.0 myself, although I have had the occasional sleep issue in 10.3, I've never seen one at all in 10.4.

Nice one. There is simply no pleasing some people.

I discovered that buy trial and error. I had been blaming the keyboard initially.

Anyone else's Mac got significantly louder (as in sound through the speakers) since 10.4.9?

Or control-eject and choose the Sleep option (by the mouse or by pressing S)

Yes. This is a Good Thing(tm).

not working so well on my CD MBP...will sometimes take it out of it's case when I get home and it's burning hot and the fans are going like the clappers. Hasn't happened since 10.4.9 mind you.

Hmmm... I saw [1] that happen to Flavio's MacBook. I think his is fixed now- was that by an OS upgrade, Flavio?

[1] 'Saw' in that it seemed to be gently glowing red hot. And 'heard' as in a Lancaster taking off...

It can't help, putting it into a neoprene case at this point when it's still making heat! But that's what i do....

Ha ha.

I used to have the volume set to 8 or 9, but now I've had to turn it down to 3 or 4...
