For some reason, my G5 tower (dual 1.8) doesn't like to sleep. Due to expensive electricity, and summer heat, I set my G5 to go into deep full sleep after 15 minutes of idle. It very rarely goes to sleep. So I got myself into the habit of sometimes manually telling it to sleep. Funny thing is, this doesn't always work either. A lot of the time, I'll tell it to sleep, and it will go to sleep and them IMMEDIATELY wake back up. I know there is nothing on my keyboard or mouse keeping it awake. I don't have any APE crap installed or anything like that. I don't have many USB things plugged in. Just a printer, scanner, and bluetooth adapter. Nothing fancy. Any ideas why this computer won't stay asleep?

Do you have the app Temperature Monitor installed. If you have the hard drive temp update every so often, it will prevent the computer from going to deep sleep.

Have you verified and repaired disk permissions?

A friend of mine said Adium prevented his PowerBook from sleeping. I use Adium and don't have a problem at all. *shrug*

I'm guessing that it's the Bluetooth adapter or whatever it is that's using it. My PowerBook sometimes has trouble going to sleep if the Logitech mouse that I use with it doesn't dock properly. In fact, my PowerBook does exactly the same thing that your Mac does when I try to manually sleep it; it wakes right back up.

I had the same problem until I read this forum and figured it out. Check for widgets that monitor temperature i.e., iStat. Close the Temperature component.
Worked for me

My problem seemed to be my scanner. When it was plugged into usb, no sleep. Unplug it, it would sleep no problem. Odd
