Battery Backup Issue . . . - spungraphics

Yes, I have the same issue with a UPS connected to a PowerMac G5...thanks for your help in determining the problem. I was scratching my head about this one for a while. Couldn't figure out why AppleJack was shutting down right in the middle of the checks. Maybe AppleJack will be fixed of this soon.

This problem does still indeed exist after upgrading to 10.4.11.

Hopefully AppleJack can be updated to resolve this issue.

Hmm, interesting. I'd never thought of taking the UPS cable off. I had chocked it up to flakey firmware in my Quad G5.

Anyway, as it is now in Leopard it's no go even if I wanted to use it. This is one of my 'must install' apps I recommend to everyone. I dearly miss it.

Interesting indeed. I have a Mirrored Drive Doors dual 1.25 GHz, connected to an APC UPS (Back UPS XS 1000), including the USB cable connection (plugged into a powered USB hub), and I haven't seen this problem when running Applejack under OS 10.4.10 and 10.4.11. My Mac is seeing the UPS though the USB cable, according to the Energy Saver prefpane. I may try the experiment of plugging the UPS's USB cable directly into one of the Mac's built-in USB ports, but thought I'd post my configuration first, in case it's the powered USB hub that's making the difference, so other people can try that configuration.

YMMV but I think it is best to run Applejack after unplugging peripheral devices. I found that booting into SUM with the Verizon aircard plugged in, causes problems for the boot into SUM. I saw USB errors.

When I run Applejack, I first unplug all the USB and F/W devices, then boot to SUM and run Applejack.

Doing it this way, I never had a problem.

Looks like Digital Jim and I both came across the same problem (and the fix) almost around the same time. I blogged about the fix a few weeks before Jim's post.
