FWIW I have 2 MDD's and 2 G5 Power Macs they don't even have the batteries in 
them and I have no issues with any of them.

Have you reset the CUDA switch with all cables unplugged including the power 
cord?

 In my message of yesterday, I already indicated that The 2012 Mac mini came 
 with OS 10.8.1 pre-installed.  It will not boot on Snow Leopard.
 


You can Carbon Copy a 10.6.8 system to the hard drive and it will run it. The 
newer machines will only boot via installer with the original or later system.

PowerMac G5 sleep issue

['John Carmonne' via G-Group]

Thought folks here may get some valuable info from this post on Cube Owners by 
a friend of mine in Grand Junction Colorado, Anwar Shiekh, We both have been 
working for two weeks on this problem. Maybe some members have some more input?


Lost another big chunk of time on a lack of auto deep-sleep under 10.5.8

My G5 PowerMac (latest generation) would not auto deep-sleep (worked fine when 
done by hand) and that can cost a good chunk of money in electricity (~$100 a 
year as it idles around 130W, deep-sleeps at about 1/7th of this); turns out 
that the problem was introduced in 10.5.7 and not fixed in 10.5.8. It is 
probably a coincidence that the Energy Saver icon was an Edison bulb in 10.5.6, 
but moved to a CFL in 10.5.7. Earlier G5 PowerMac generations don't seem to 
suffer this fate, so this may not be of concern to Cube users.

P.S. Since writing this I have located two work arounds and one fix from the 
Web, all of which I have confirmed.

* Stick with 10.5.6 as mentioned above (but quite a lot changed from 10.5.6 to 
10.5.8)

or

* Leave a disk in the DVD drive

I took the risk of over-riding the Apple firmware with the manufacturer's (LG), 
but that did not solve the problem; at least I managed not to brick the drive. 
However

* Using another model DVD drive (Apple System Profiler lists the problem drive 
as: HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4165B)

is all it took to resolve this issue. I tried an NEC 2100AD from another 
machine I had, and read that an LG GH22NP20 also solves the problem, and hope 
to try the Apple branded SONY DW-Q28A soon.


Makes one wonder about the wisdom of keeping old equipment running; $100 a year 
in electricity can soon add up to a new machine. Can't complain that life is 
not keeping me occupied.


Maybe we could start a list of Good and Bad drives with respect to this issue.
