Once in a while, you may encounter the Spinning Pinwheel of Death (SPOD) on your Mac. It's that multicolored pinwheel that signifies a temporary or never-ending delay while the Mac tries to figure something out. The Mac is trying to function, but nothing is happening, so the pinwheel keeps spinning and spinning.

Sleep of Death update

From Cedric Sullivan

Hi again,

I just wanted to update my situation. I have now experienced thesleep of death in 10.1.5. After a forced restart, I experienced abunch of problems. Programs were quitting unexpectantly - sometimesreported, sometimes not. I developed a really bad problem withwindows when they were dragged (note: I have window buffercompression enabled). Something else to note, window minimizingwasn't smooth at one point. Windows would jump from full sized tominimized in one step (perhaps some took two or three in a fewseconds time) and vice versa for the reverse. My keyboard stoppedworking in some programs as well. In the second example, I gave thewindow a real shaking. It appears to pick up the background windowsand desktop as well as parts of the window itself. The mouse pointeralso got a bit scrambled/noisy-square.

My System Preferences app froze up on starting it up. This was nottoo long after a startup! Anyway, I ran fsck; it founderrors and fixed them. I'd previously used TechTool Pro to rebuildthe directory. It reported some unusual changes, but I'd acceptedthem.

Right now my iBook is running fine.

Won't wake up on earlier system

From Joel Anderson

Most of the writing about the 'Sleep O' Death' seems to say OS 9.2or later. I've experienced it on 9.0.4 after reformatting theinternal hard drive of the culprit (iMac DV) for other reasons. Ihaven't had another problem, yet. (two months) Knock on wood.

Sleep of Death and Mac OS X

From Jimmy James Champlin

Charles,

I've had it happen with OS X as well. On an iMac (summer 2001) 500and a blue G3/400, versions through 10.1.2 wouldn't wake from sleepwhen Network Time was enabled. 10.1.3 and later don't have theproblem. Interesting to note that Mac OS 9.1 and 9.2.x will workproperly with network time enabled.

I've also had it happen on a 1400 running 8.6 and 9.1 withoutnetwork time enabled.

Sleep of Death, possible solution

From Alvin Chan

I had that before, but now it's good. I never turn off the iMacanymore, and the problem went away when I set it to 20 minutes. Thesystem sleep is disabled (so it is still connected to the Internet),but the video and hard drive are set to 20 minutes before it sleeps.20 min was Apple's default. It's gone now and boots all the time=)

God bless,
Alvin
