What works for me is holding the power button in for a 3 count, letting go, waiting a bit and then giving it a regular push. I think the problem is that sometimes the computer looks dead when it is only the display that is not working, and this causes the correct procedure for rising from the dead to fail.

Holding in the button was a waste of time. Apple really screwed the pouch with the OS X 10.5.6 Combo updater The last trick I tried that seems to work was to remove the power plug from the back of the Intel iMac and all external connections. Wait a few minutes and restart. I just did it and manage to put it to sleep and even woke it up. Try it .... the price is right

Pulling the plug and all external connections to the Intel iMac did the job.

Sounds like the problem was likely a USB or Firewire malfunction then. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
