My computer does not wake from sleep

iSleep 2.3 introduced a new feature, much improved in iSleep 2.5 (you don't have to retype your password whenever you use it anymore) : the ability to automatically wake your Mac from sleep. However, there are some Macs out there that don't support it. Before using this feature for the first time, if your Mac is REALLY old, always have a real alarm clock nearby...

This function has been tested and we know that it works at least on these Macs : Titanium 550 & 667, Aluminium 17' & 15', iMac DV, iBook 300 & 600, and Cube 450 mhz. In fact, 99% of the Macs more recent than the iMac DV work. However, Old World machines may be incompatible with this function, depending on your firmware version. If it doesn't work, please just let me know.

There's a last catch : if you wake up your Mac manually after iSleep made it go to sleep, the timing gets disabled and iSleep won't wake up the Mac (if you re-put it to sleep ; of course if the Mac stays up and running, and not in sleep mode, iSleep will wake you up). You'll have to hit stop, and click on "Go to bed" again (you can choose 0 minutes to have iSleep put the Mac to sleep right away).
