Hi again Susan,
If turning off "Enable Firewall Logging" doesn't solve your sleep
issue (as suggested in my previous email).
Try System Preferences > Energy Saver - Sleep and uncheck "Put the
Hard Disk(s) to sleep when possible".
Let's hope one of these allows you to see the soft pulsating glow of
the white LED indicating your G5 is asleep.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Susan,
Yes, the G5s are well known for having sleep issues.
I've had another thought (yep, I have them occasionally). Try going
into System Preferences > Security > Firewall - click Advanced and
turn OFF (take the tick out) Enable Firewall logging.
See if your G5 will sleep now.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Mike, I do think the problem has been around so long that its
not the first sign of a major problem. This model of Mac did have
major issues at first, which were fixed by a long time coming
firmware update, back in 2005. cheers, Susan.

Hi Susan
Hate to add a sour note, but I've recently replaced a 3+ year old
20-in G5 iMac with a cooked motherboard. The first symptoms were
odd behaviour with sleep patterns and mysterious awakenings and
shut-downs. Apparently this is a known issue.
The new 24-in is great.
Cheers
Mike

Hi all, the problem with all of this diagnostic stuff is that I
have had, and still have, other Macs, which are connected to
networks, printers and external hard drives. All of my other Macs
go to sleep when I'm not using them, unless I have something
obvious happening, such as a file downloading.
This is unique to this computer - in my case a G5 1.8 SP, and I
know its unique because of using a wide range of Macs. I can live
with it, but thought it useful to share with Severin that this it
might just be a quirk on these computers. If we could solve it,
that would be great!
cheers, Susan.
