Deep Sleep?

[bigboy99]

Everytime my G4 comes out of a few hours in sleep mode I cannot get my wireless network to work. This eventually leads to Internet Connect, Network, System Prefs, and virtually every other app frozen with the technicolor wheel spinning away. The restart or shutdown menu commands do not work, so I have to use the power button to turn it off. I have verified and repaired the permissions several times, and nothing serious is noted.

This only seems to occur while on battery power.

Reminds me way too much of my Dell.

Have you repaired permissions lately?

Did you download the latest craptacular Airport update? Posessed my G5.

Since this problem developed, too often

Yes, I'm afraid I did. Is it possible (without a reintall) to reverse this action?

Unlikely.. check the Apple Support site for info on reversing it (if such a thing exists).

I've noticed that since my install of the Airport update my connection seems to come and go. Do you know if I have an opportunity to archive/backup during a reinstall of OSX? Maybe I should do a full backup first and bite the bullet (should it come to that).

There is an Archive & Install which archives existing data to a /Previous Systems/ directory at the root of the drive. However, you should always back up your data before attempting to do anything like this.
