I'm experiencing what seems like Entourage activity during sleep mode. When I close the lid of 17" PowerBook, then later awaken it from sleep mode, there is often an error dialog box from Internet Connect already open and waiting for me that indicates Internet Connect tried to connect and wasn't able to. The connection attempt would have been when the PB was asleep. Otherwise, there would be not reason for a failed connection attempt.
The only app I can think of that initiates a regular connection to the Internet is Entourage. Maybe the OS tries to connect to the Apple time server, but I didn't think it does so as frequently as these error messages appear (multiple times a day). Back in Feb and March, there were some postings about a similar problem with notifications. The originator said he closed his laptop lid, but still received notifications. One reply said that's not technically possible, that the laptop must only be in display sleep, not CPU sleep, and to check energy saver options. But according to my understanding, that explanation isn't possible because closing the lid means only one thing: full sleep, not display sleep since closing the lid presumes the laptop is about to be moved and the HD needs to be spun down. I don't know how an app could be running during sleep. Seems technically impossible to me. And maybe the problem is that there's something wanky about OS 10.2.6 and/or my laptop that results in the computer appearing to enter sleep mode, but actually not. But is there any new perspective on Entourage X and sleep over the past few months? Is this a potential Entourage issue, or can it only be an Apple issue? Are some application functions still permitted during sleep mode. After all, looking to the metaphor of sleep, the brain and body don't cease to function completely. If they did, the closing the lid would be called death mode, and opening the lid again would be called resurrection. :-) Thanks, Doug ------------------------ Doug Brightwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------ -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
