I am new and not a techie at all; I have a tutor/installer who asked me to ask this question: will sleep problems end with Tiger? Or is there any other way?!?
I have a Powerbook G4 1GHz, 1MB L3 cache, 512 MB SDRAM, OS X 10.3.9, DP 4.6, M-Audio Firewire 410 (not currently hooked up; I did shut down my computer before removing it for a move).
I and my family have a 2 year habit of closing the powerbook whenever we leave it, which automatically puts it to sleep. I have disabled all other sleep possibilities. I have a big note taped on it saying DO NOT CLOSE WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN FIRST! and a plastic dragon I leave in the way of closing it. But it is such a HABIT (due to warm climate, open windows, dust blowing...) When I am real tired, just checking email, then I must have closed it. Whenever this happens, afterwards DP will not load (currently it says "DP is unable to run because the MIDI system has crashed. Please quit any programs that are using MIDI and try again" There are no other programs open.) Last time this happened my tech guy had to spend a long time uninstalling, reinstalling both DP and my Firewire, and resetting all my settings. This will cost me for his time all over again!
I never had this problem with my earlier version of DP (but I wasn't really using it much yet, and didn't have the Firewire yet.)
Will Tiger allow sleep without crashes/reinstalls? Is there any other way to sleep without problems? Does Tiger still have other problems?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Will sleep problems end with Tiger?

Honestly, I don't know. I don't have that problem, and haven't had it since OS9. But I'm not using a Powerbook.

Re: MIDI Crashes when going to sleep
Hi Cmerata8,
I had the same exactly problem but without any messages (maybe because I disabled an OSX CrashReporter). Just no MIDI after waking up DP 4.52 from sleep and M-Audio MIDI interface icon became transparent (inactive) in the Audio/MIDI setup utilitie.
Downloading a last M-Audio driver for Tiger fixed everything, now my MIDI is always on after waking up.
Good luck!
