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.

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)

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.

Yes, I was wondering how this had somehow got left out of the show.

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...
