iMac (late 2007) won't remain in Sleep Mode

Recommend Product: YES

Since I applied the update last night, my iMac will no longer remain in Sleep Mode. When I set it to Sleep, it wakes itself up about 10 seconds later.

I used the 10.5.7 Combo Updater downloaded from Apple's website, because Software Update was having trouble verifying that the data it was downloading was coming from a reliable Apple source. The update process included one incident, where after applying the update and restarting the computer did not fully boot. I waited 20 minutes through an unchanging blue screen, then did a manual shutdown and startup, after which the update completed installing (the computer rebooted itself twice) and, except for this sleep issue, everything seems fine.

iMac (late 2007) won't remain in Sleep Mode - JMHammer

I had run Disk Utility to repair permissions both before and after applying the update. And I just tried resetting the PRAM - no effect, the computer is still waking itself up about 10 seconds after being put to sleep.

iMac (late 2007) won't remain in Sleep Mode - wtbixler

I seem to be having the opposite problem with OS 10.5.7. My iMac G5 PPC has reverted to deep sleep mode where I have to tap the power button to wake it up. Just hitting a key and moving the mouse doesn't do it anymore. Not a big deal but an annoyance. Luckily no other problems experienced so far.
