Thanks

Thanks for finding this solution of pulling the jack out -- lifesaver. It was driving me crazy!

Can't believe they haven't fixed this yet, but at least we have a workaround.

My 27" IMac won't sleep in OSX 10.6.7. but it will in Windows 7 32 bit

Hi Everyone:

I've come back to the mac world. I've been away ever since my apple G3 was stolen. Now, I bought an apple I3 IMac 27". Hummm, I still miss my G3. Anyways, let's get to the problem.

In this thread, everyone is having problems with Windows 7 not sleeping. Well not me. For me, OS X is not sleeping. It happened before! And, I thought there was a hardware issue. Just to make sure it was not, I erased the hard drive and reinstalled the OS. Then, it was fine for awhile until I started installing software. The last thing I installed was skype in OS. And now it does not go to sleep in OS. Why doesn't my IMac fall asleep on its own in OS X? Could it be boot camp? Or, could it be skype? And yes, I reset the PRAM and followed the directions on the apple web-site and I even called apple care but, to no avail. I should have bought a Windows machine!

Just kidding....

Can someone help me please? If it's a skype issue then, I understand. But, why on earth would skype prevent my IMac from sleeping even when it is closed. It just doesn't make any sense for the programmers to have skype conflict with OSX 10.6.7

Thanks everyone!
